Keep making a Good videos chris. Cheers 👍>> <<@williamfederle5119 says : I like to see reviews and startups of Rasberry pie SBC's with various peripherals you add to them and I like to see you create code to run the rasberry pie pico. These are all things that I could, with my limited resources, do myself - maybe referring back from time to time to the video that originally gave me the idea to try them. I like the larger SBC projects you take on but to a lesser extent since I don't think that i could afford the expensive board and peripherals that you use in them. I hope that this information gives you some indication, with other comments you may have received, as to what your viewers like to watch. WF>> <<@sgkonfetti says : Topic suggestion: DNS over TLS (Secure DNS) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_over_TLS https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_over_TLS>> <<@carnestone says : You’re the man cheers chap!>> <<@QuantumCalc2 says : I will always make sure to catch your video every Sunday. Keep up the amazing work!>> <<@thomasmcguire2227 says : I like being able to get to the point explanations. I would like to see a presentation on SBC's that use a microcontroller.>> <<@samtyson905 says : Thanks!>> <<@Aimad_99 says : can this comment get 100 likes>> <<@mscottie73 says : Really appreciate your channel Chris. Behind on my watches but catching up. If you do talk about video formats would love to learn about hardware encoding and decoding like Quicksync, etc. Thanks.>> <<@mscottie73 says : Thanks!>> <<@michael147852147 says : Thank you so much for all your content! Your work is amazing. I learn a lot from the content on your channel. Continue to be a great teacher. good luck.>> <<@420bobby69 says : Hi Chris. I know this video is a bit older now, but I just wanted to say I appreciate you giving us some insight into the channel. Im a new subscriber with no experience in running a YT channel, but since you asked (lol), here are my 2 cents (pence?): I really respect your commitment to staying independent. Ironically, that is the reason I would trust you to feature sponsors without conflicts of interest. Also, if you don't already have one, a patreon could be a great way to bring in some resources for your channel and connect more with your more dedicated viewers!>> <<@fattomandeibu says : I think computing channels are, or were at least, all seeing a decline in viewership recently. I personally think ideas of showing retro computing, particularly more unique systems like the Sinclair QL will be very interesting to see. The A1200 one won't be interesting to me in that aspect, but seeing Workbench 3 in action(with and without NewIcons etc.) would definitely be great, as would seeing things such as Wordsworth, DPaint and any games you might have on hand. I grew up on one of those and still have a ton of floppy disks as well as a mountain of Amiga Format cover CDs. As for hoarding, I don't I have as much as yourself, but I have the habit of never throwing out anything that still works, as who knows, it may come in handy. Even my old C64 and all the tapes are still there. ...I also wish they still sold those amazing beige boxes that you have your editing computer in.>> <<@ygjt76v0----- says : Your personality and style very unique sir, also have british accent>> <<@chrishuston4445 says : Thanks!>> <<@MrMr-ti6rl says : I think I needed to comment on why people haven't been watching for months. Youtube might be "Shadow Blocking" you for some reason... I'm subscribed to your channel and I haven't seen any of you videos popup on my feeds... Your latest video is the first one I've seen in months, so I had to go to your channel. The video before this is the last one I saw...>> <<@yash1152 says : umh one thing - a bit of an honest word to u chris in hopes that maybe it can give u some insight. general caution: dont generalise these foll points, these are just my feelings i was also a regular viewer to ur channel, and i stopped viewing it. there can be many reasons (in no particular order): - i had interest in SBCs from buying them point of view, but i gave up on that. - i had interest in SBSs from knowledge point of view, but that become kinda saturated, similar thing over and over - i had interest in the linux distros, but couldnt persue/experiment with that. and same thing - saturated/similar thing repeating. - oh, and i got busy with studies, so, that broke me up from youtube as well. some thoughts on what can be done: - u can consider doing like a duet video where u and some other channel person come and do a video together and share some part of it on each's channel. but yeah, it's positive effect doesnt last thhhhaaaat long i am afraid. - maybe u can find sponsors which fit good with ur philosophy?? like which feel genuinely good to u 🤔? - maybe u can try having patrons? yeah, that can be a verry good way to have financial support ANNNNDD, u'll get to hear direct feedback from those people too. - (inclusive) or: having ur own merch?? but merch requires some initial investment too.>> <<@yash1152 says : 14:56 yeah, i hoard things too lol>> <<@AdamAndTiffanyBrun says : Love the channel. All tech and car channels took a big hit, it will come back. Keep up the good work!>> <<@allenellisdewitt says : I have no problem with sponsored videos as long as you are still going to be honest, which I think you would. :)>> <<@joelviolinpiano says : Thank you Chris. This is my new favorite channel. Thank you for the great videos and I loved the blaster weapon. That was great!>> <<@GVSolo says : Mr B., in a way an educator is also an influencer. You cannot truly separate one from the other completely.>> <<@1George2 says : Thanks for the update… very nice. Appreciate that you dislike midroll ads, they are really disrupting>> <<@Nightxp says : Great videos>> <<@joshuaray says : I just started watching. Great channel!>> <<@MonkeyspankO says : 6:11 K-9!>> <<@neilmuller4484 says : This channel update explains (excuse the pun) everything. I have subscribed at the highest level for a number of years, but thought you weren't producing content as frequestly, as the YouTube reminders have been few and far between for this last year or more. As you supected in the update (or am I reading between the lines), by not accepting ads within your videos, Google has demoted the notifications that I previously received. In regard to content, I enjoyed SBC at first but after a while I found there were too many and a little above my skill level. I found upgrading an old PC was of interest, even though I've built all but my very first computer myself, a 486. Software (Backup software and free Win 10 software interests me) also Linux is of interest to me. I really appreciate the professional quality of everything you produce. P.S. I don't mind ads within a video as long as they are appropriately placed. Keep up the excellent work, I greatly appreciate your content and always learn something.>> <<@eyreland says : == Atlantic OCEAN TSUNAMI // New Madrid Rift Coming === Issue 774; August 1, 2021 "Wave#2 Anticipation" The ... predicted that the big New Madrid Adjustment would happen by the end of 2021 or shortly thereafter in early 2022. They stated that ahead of this big adjustment there would be predecessor adjustments that would come in waves. Wave#1 occurred on May 8 when the Colonial Pipeline was forced to close where it crosses the Mississippi River and a truss on the I-40 bridge to Memphis snapped. Following that we had a refinery explode at the Ohio River headwaters, then a DC pedestrian bridge collapse and the SurfSide condo collapse. The SE Portion of the US cannot move and is poised to rip off. The emission maps showed the tension in the SE Portion on June 5. Then the tension shifted to the Gulf of Mexico when a buoy throbbed for a day on July 8 along the path from the Pemex gas field explosion to New Orleans. This happened simultaneously to a major water main break at Jackson, MS. The next day a cruise ship went aground in Kentucky while cruising the Cumberland River. The river bottom had shifted. If Wave#1 focused on the SE Portion of the US to the EAST of the Mississippi River what will happen to that portion of the US to the WEST of the Mississippi River? On that same day, July 8, a massive quake swarm on the California/Nevada border began. Notably, SO2 and CO emissions from rock shifting began to focus on western Canada, which sustained a crane collapse in BC. Confirmation 7/31/2021: As was noted when the Pemex gas field exploded in an underwater eruption, and as we have stated since the start of the 7 of 10 Plate Movements, the New Madrid Adjustment will start its unzipping in Mexico. Draw a line from the Mexico City/Pemex region to New Orleans and this line passes through the current active buoy location. This is very significant as this will soon destabilize the continental US near and above New Orleans. That the lowlands near Jackson, MS are shifting in step with the buoy warnings is not a surprise. Beyond these signs that the rock in the western 2/3 of the N American Plate is shifting toward the Pacific are the signs of unease in the US and Russian governments. Hal Turner reports a rumor that filling station chains have been warned there will be a gasoline shortage soon, so the next delivery of gasoline might be their last.>> <<@mc10guru says : Ahoy Chris, I found you because I'm a total SBC nerd. You are my favorite Youtube provider. Keep up the good work and THANK YOU for no ads. As for less viewers remember that 2020 was the big year of Covid 19. With everyone stuck at home they were watching and trying new vids. Now that we had the 1st half of 2021 with more freedom I'm sure views are down for all. Thanks again from my RPi 4B running fast at 2Ghz with a Sandisk Z400 SSD. DaveyB>> <<@j.rayscott4681 says : Love the channel. A suggestion for a video. Your product reviews are great. When you get to doing the performance benchmarks, you always have a selection of performance monitoring tools. How about a video dedicated just to the various tools you use? I wanted to do some testing myself and remembered you had done some test but, I couldn't remember what the test was or which video it was. Of course, I didn't mind re-watching several of the reviews! ;-)>> <<@joanantonllarchpoyo2837 says : Chris, You are the third creator I follow that I listen saying is losing views. I think is nothing related with you but are the viewers that are inmerse in a lot of other problems this period. Sure 2022 will be better for all of us.>> <<@FocusProj says : Chris, what is/was your day job? I am sure something related to system administrator or network engineer!?>> <<@alanrichards3458 says : Thanks Chris, for your excellent content! The only reason I have had a Linux distro and Raspberry Pi in my life is because of your great work on Explaining Computers. I hope the channel can remain in it's current format - entertaining, interesting and very much real world informative. (e.g. Windows 11 Good, Bad and very Ugly). However, if there is a push to keep ratings/views on the increase, could you maybe do a nostalgia series on old Sci-Fi series or movies. Would love to see a DIY set on how to build O.R.A.C from Blakes 7. That would be a great computer laying around the house - give Siri and Google a run for their money. Not sure if Holly from Red Dwarf would get a starting position, but would be interesting to see how far the current AI platforms could replicate Holly. How easy is it to write a software programme for practical jokes - especially Queek, pure genius. How about a everyday Raspberry Pi Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy- hand held portable device that is not a smart phone. Finally I would just like to say, thank you Chris for your candour and your great content! It feels that you are talking just to us on a one to one basis - very personal. Stay strong my friend - we are here for you!>> <<@Dustomize says : Chris, I had thought perhaps the drop in views was due to increase in re-hires in the workforce. I am forever hopeful.>> <<@sgkonfetti says : Please have a look at the Youtube Channel "Jetson Hacks" : https://www.youtube.com/c/JetsonHacks/videos>> <<@mal2ksc says : Does your plasma beam weapon put out enough UV for rapid retr0brite? (Without melting the items being bleached, that is!) And according to Veritasium, the answer is to keep changing the title until something seems to work.>> <<@mfghost7641 says : Love your integrity not putting in mid roll ads to please the algorithm.>> <<@mfghost7641 says : I hope one day I can be as practical as you>> <<@talbech says : I love the casual style. Thanks for all your work.>> <<@Bueolmutz says : If you read this, and you are in a position to give this wonderfull man a full salery, with no conditions what so evner, or have connection to someone who is able to do that. Please do it. I personally would love to see what would come from his mind if he was completely economically independent. In short Chris, the more you do videos about the stuff you are passionate about, the more interesting it becomes, at least that's my take. I love your ethics and your honest style. Keep up the good work I wish you all the best.>> <<@eelintan9466 says : unfortunately there are a quite a few pop tech channels around these days ... not as good or well presented or factual ... too much of their opinions / bias / sponsor stuff / ads / patreon thing going on ... love your content, factual un bias style presentation ... your channel is one of handful of channels I subscribe to and actually check out more often ... will be real sad if you don't produce more videos>> <<@walthodgson5780 says : I suspect a significant part of the decline is due to the world opening back up and people spending less time on YT altogether.>> <<@Cosmic_Wizard says : Hi Chris, I have to confess, I've not checked in for a few vids (ill health), but I'm catching up now 👍 Being a Spectrum boy, I'm really looking forward to seeing your video on the QL. Thanks for your continued hard work 😃>> <<@elye3701 says : At the end of 2021, in Malaysia, 3G will be shuttered and only 4G/LTE will operate. There is going to be a [redacted]-load of unusable routers and phones. Any thoughts on repurposing them? Near field communications? Walkie-talkies? Security cams? Time-lapse photography? Door-bell-cam? Body-cam? Astronomy?>> <<@TaiChiGhost says : Your "blaster weapon" looks like a repurposed thumper, used for calling worms. We are all hoping that you have thoroughly cleaned the circuits ...>> <<@knowjop says : Thank you for your videos, Chris. You are a beacon of integrity above an ocean of BS. Another file format video idea in the same vein as the two you gave might be document file types, from txt, rtf, csv to doc(x) and pdf. As a software developer, I've found working with plaintext files to be an extremely useful skill that a lot of young developers don't learn in their coursework. Writing a script to put data in a csv has been an important escape hatch many times for me. Anyway, keep up the amazing work. ✌️>> <<@nickraphael5382 says : Thanks!>> <<@user-yj5zf1ww9z says : Thanks!>>
