Is my vintage equipment trying to send me a message? [video]

There are such gems on YouTube these days. In retrocomputing for example, I enjoy watching a number of shows including 8-bit guy, Retro Man Cave, Retro Recipes (by a real Star Wars actor), This Does Not Compute (I have a feeling the guy is on HN!), and of course CuriousMarc.

This is incredibly cute. Super satisfying to see all of that antique gear in such good shape. It's interesting to think about the progression of various computing interfaces, and compare it to some of the cutting-edge AI-based interactions that we are seeing emerge today like GPT-3.

For what I understand, that's about a group working on restoring computer and radio electronics from the cold war era. The video has some funny (in a pleasant way -- in my opinion) playback music and a simple scenario to display the team's achievements as they celebrate their 100,000th subscriber. Looks like some friendly and dedidated crowd indeed!

CuriousMark's channel is really entertaining if you like vintage electronics. It's amazing to see how clever and powerful these machines and how they push the limits of what was possible in their era.

His explanations are very clear and he has mad troubleshooting skills. It's always very thrilling to see these old machines get back on their feet and come alive again!

MrCarlson's Lab[1] is another very enjoyable channel showing detailed restoration of antique -generally radio, mostly tube-based- equipment.

That teletype is beautiful, you can completely understand the decoding logic with the selector arms just by watching it move.

Amazing that gear still works. Fun.
