my favorite is when a different niche interest slips through. like when that cathoderaydude guy is talking about 90s digital broadcast production or something and reveals a rich understanding of industrial design

one poster I'm going to miss is CathodeRayDude who had some really in depth technical posts, they're not going to move to another site.

the most recent CathodeRayDude video is a teardown of a digital signage system that was stuck on an ad for “on!” brand tobacco-free nicotine pouches
