Hi everyone! I just found out about this sub and am happy to be subscribed. Just wondering if you all watch YouTube videos on the subject. I really like Adrian’s Digital Basement and UsagiElectric. I’m very interested in the vacuum tube computers from the latter and trying to figure out how those work!
Does anyone have any recommendations for other channels with a similar sort of educational-ish style? I like being not told exactly wtf is happening with the electronics but the diagnostic and repair and explanation parts are the best!
Anyways thanks for reading!
Super old computers get me pretty excited too! Lol
Do you work in whatever field this type of electronics tinkering falls within? If so I’m just curious what sort of education you obtained. I’m a bit too old for a career switch but this stuff reaaaaally fascinates me.
No, my work experience is in the system/network administration and software development fields. So you could say it is adjacent to that somewhat. I’ve just always loved computers and have wanted to understand how they work and what they can be used for. I get to do a lot of that in my job, but I guess there is a part of that itch which isn’t scratched by what I do in the office.
