Studio 8502 Apr 8, 2023

A brief list of less problematic #retrocomputing YouTube channels for those who are uncomfortable with the public behaviour of The 8-Bit Guy:

• Techmoan (Mat does more audio than computers, but very retro, and a cool dude)
• Mr. Lurch's things (Jason is a great guy)
• RMC (Neil is also a great dude)
• Retro Recipes (I'll be honest, I find Christian's whole vibe a bit over polished and highly produced, but I also think he puts in a lot of honest effort and really loves retro systems -- plus he was in two Star Wars films)
• Adrian's Digital Basement (Basically the Mr. Rogers of Retrocomputing, I love this dude)
• Usagi Electric (The dude restores vintage mini-computers, how awesome is that?)
• More Fun Making It (Also a cool dude, and his whole vibe is just fun to watch)
• Veronica Explains (She's great too, very friendly and informative)
• Jan Beta (Pure old-school retro nerdery)
• Noel's Retro Lab
• Technology Connections
• Action Retro
• Ms. Mad Lemon

@joacim Have you seen the latest on the X16? It's pure unhinged lunacy.

@mos_8502 I saw the latest video and noticed the $50 dollar computer was now $500... but part from that: no not really.

@joacim Their whole production strategy points at a group who have *no* idea how to bring a product to market in 2023. They spent donor money on equipping a fucking PCB factory.

@mos_8502 @joacim Speculating here: Maybe David et al are bent on the X16 being "made in America" to the point of economic infeasibility. It would track with the other nuttery.

@kandersonus @mos_8502 Sounds very American: go US or go bust.
