New video! So how bad can a cheap Android tablet from 2010 be? Well, today we're gonna find out! This thing sold for a fraction of the cost of a first gen iPad, and predates the release of Android 3.0 Honeycomb. So this should be fun...

New video! Here's a bit of a retro tech oddity. This prototype tablet PC was developed by Intel back in 2006, and was an engineering sample for the Ultra-Mobile PC standard. Which makes this one of the earliest UMPCs around!

Does anyone recognize this connector? I’m thinking it’s VHDCI (perhaps for a SCSI drive?) but not sure.

New video! So here's something you don't see everyday: an Android tablet made for use in prisons. And like a lot of prison tech, it's made with clear plastic and comes with a lot of limitations.

New video! Turns out somebody created a REAL custom operating system themed around the Windows RG flash parody that I explored a few years back. So today we're gonna check it out and see how it compares to the original!

Merry Christmas Eve! Usually there’d be a holiday themed video going out tomorrow, but unfortunately I’ve been sick the past few days. I’ve mostly recovered now so I’m planning on getting it out next week (hopefully before new years!)

New video! With Windows 10 support ended, there's plenty of people rethinking what OS they want to use moving forward. And for those looking to switch to Linux, Zorin OS provides a similar UI to what you're already used to. But is it the best Windows replacement out there?

New video! Here's a bit of a strange idea: can we successfully migrate from Windows 98 directly to Windows Vista? Well... this program sent in by a viewer claims to do just that! So let's check it out.

I just found out that someone put a sign on the side of the road where the Bliss hill is!

This wasn't me, but whoever made it put a quote from my documentary on it 👀

New video! Back in 2010, ASUS launched the Eee Keyboard PC - an entire computer housed in a keyboard, screen included! It's one of the strangest computer designs that I've seen in a while, and today we're gonna mess around with it.
