This guy is top tier at complaining about things and I love him.
He’s mastered the art of Midwesterness
What state is he from?
Based on the license plates he regularly displays in his channel plus his comments that he lives in proximity to Chicago; he lives in Illinois.
He’s mentioned in some videos that he lives in the Chicago area. It usually comes up when talking about electrical work in his home, since building code in Chicagoland generally requires all electrical runs in conduit.
Knowing nothing about him, he’s got upper Midwest energy. Probably Wisconsin or Minnesota.
Hey, that looks like a demonstration of an open differential in a Nissan Cube! Seems like that would make for an excellent introduction into how a Toyota eCVT hybrid transmission functions similarly to a differential but with electric motor/generators instead of wheels.
I thought he did do that in the connextras video
Oh he did that in the main video. 🤣
Your bluetooth is running out
in case you’re not trolling, it’s the sound volume
Are you sure it’s not low bluetooth? 🤔
I can never find my Bluetooth charging cable when I need it, so I keep buying new ones. Where are they hiding?
Someone is pulling your leg. Bluetooth is wireless so there’s no charging cable. Rest the phone on the charger and it will wirelessly charge the Bluetooth.
They are inside your teeth hence the name “Bluetooth”. You gotta crack em open to get the wires.
Phones don’t “run out” of sound
they absolutely do, what do you think tooth fairies are for
I dont know why but almost all my screenshots include the volume slider.
You’re pressing the buttons in the wrong order. The volume button goes last
Skill issue
Or finicky volume rocker
Watch his earlier videos to see the importance of comedic timing. he had similar jokes at the beginning but little comedic timing, by now he has perfected it.
I was waiting for the moment when his little cutout there would start spinning too.
Is Alec on the fediverse? Feels like something he would be in to
He’s on Mastodon (@TechConnectify@mas.to) but he mostly talks on bsky nowadays.
Iirc he was not happy with the fediverse experience for someone with a large following, which is really too bad. He tried for a long time but got tired of the abuse.
How’d he get abused?
Online abuse can refer to nasty comments. Here is a thread about it: https://pawb.social/post/17092569
Pulling out another one: https://mas.to/@TechConnectify/113056731556590285
I really don’t think the fediverse can really work for celebrity microblogging. Corpo platforms inherently value reach and boosting popular users, while the fediverse has no profit incentive to appeal to them. It’s why I always liked the idea of lemmy over mastadon: conversations matter more than personalities
He didn’t have problems with reach he had problems with abuse, if memory serves. Some other big accounts say similar things.
I also don’t think the fediverse works for someone trying to “go viral” or farm engagement or whatever.
Third wheel?
I feel like he’d make any date I go on more interesting if I could convince him to come with.
