Hey guys! This is an Apple "ITV" (Interactive Television) prototype. This product never went to retail, so it's kind of rare.
This particular version is "STB3" and I plan to do a future episode about it! In the meantime, enjoy this unboxing & first impressions bonus video. 2020-08-15 23:36:43 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey guys! Enjoy the new episode! It goes public on Thursday at 3:00 PM CDT. I'll still tweak the sound sweetening a little bit, but everything else is done. I hope you like it!
Hello world! This week's video is about a fun story…
Think about how often you use apps on your phone. Can you imagine what the world would be without them? Well, there was a time where Steve Jobs was opposed to the idea of third-party native apps on the iPhone (which also implies he didn't see a need for an App Store).
But does that mean he NEVER wanted third-party native apps on the iPhone? Not necessarily. The story (which is backed by Walter Isaacson's "Steve Jobs" bio...

Hey everyone! This week's video is all about iPhone 12. The official announcement is coming in September, and the news, hype, and rumors are brewing! Here's a few still-frames from the footage, plus a couple behind-the-scenes shots.
Here's an artsy shot of the cameras. It's rumored that the iPhone 12 will come in 3 sizes: 5.4", 6.1", and 6.7" (the largest iPhone screen ever).

Hey guys! I have a bonus video for you. Here's a raw reel of the footage I shot with The 8-Bit Guy! He gave me an awesome tour, and we talked about some cool stuff. I'd love to share it with you!

Hey everyone! The latest episode is about 95% complete! This is a multi-collab episode between The 8-Bit Guy, Hugh Jeffreys, Bruce (from Branchus Creations and Mac Yak) and Steve (from Mac84 and Mac Yak). Thanks, everyone, for helping!
Hey everyone!
My next big video project (with the working title of "Why Do Computers Stop Working?") is coming along! You'll have early access soon! This episode is packed with good stuff, thanks to the collaborative help of:

I've seen people review products right when they come out, or sometimes after a month of use… but what about 7 years later? This week, that's what I decided to do! I'm going to review the Mac that's been my daily driver for almost 7 years, with plenty of beautiful b-roll to accompany it.
So that's the plan for this week, and next week will be the big one… the collaboration with The 8-Bit Guy! I'm also working with Hugh Jefferys and some folks from the Mac Yak show, ...

For the past 2 days, I've been working nonstop on this new episode.
It didn't take me long to find another scam company. In fact, I think this one is WORSE than Lit Mobile. My new video is almost ready, and I'll get you early access ASAP! In this episode, we're gonna talk about… Blaux.
There's been tons of clickbait-y ads popping up for this company. Of course, that mak...

Hey all! Part 3 of this chaotic Lit Mobile saga is going public on Thursday, but I wanted to give you all access to the rough cut! It's about 90% done, but there are some black spots, and the sound mix isn't final. Still, I'm super happy with how this is turning out. Enjoy this awkward still-frame, and enjoy the video!
Hey everyone! There's some developments going on with the Lit Mobile saga. I have received the original unit from Juding Tech (the OEM / ODM company that Lit Mobile supposedly uses). So now, it's time to test it out! The next episode is going into post-production, and will be available for early access as soon as I can get it out. It'll go public on Thursday at 3:00 PM CDT.
In the meantime, enj...

Hey everyone! I'm still not hearing ANYTHING from Lit Mobile. Hmm… it's like they're a scam or something. ANYWAY! I contacted the supplier of their solar charger via Alibaba, and I now have an un-branded solar charger!
Here's a quick unboxing video I made for patrons and YouTube channel members: 2020-06-30 00:00:01 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey guys! I'm super excited about this upcoming Apple silicon episode. I've seen other YouTubers cover this topic, and don't get me wrong, those videos are good, but (not to toot my own horn) I think this video will be on a whole-new level. It goes into more details that those videos don't, but without causing you to suffer information overload. It will also feature the fun motion graphics and charm of any Krazy Ken's Tech Talk episode.
I'll release the episode ASAP! In...

Hey guys! Since this week is packed with WWDC news, I'm cranking out videos ASAP, so there isn't much room for "early access" perks. Sorry! I did snatch a couple pics from my macOS Big Sur video shoot, though!
My next video will be about the "Apple Silicon" transition to ARM-based Macs. Stay tuned!
Fun fact: the Intel iMac in the background is the first computer I cut video on. That's where it al...

So Lit Mobile just sent me this box of sadness. I'm excited. Let's see what's inside.
That's right! The first Lit Mobile follow-up episode is coming soon! In this episode, I get in touch with the Alibaba supplier—Juding Tech—and I order a test unit! Heck, they even rendered a unit with the Computer Clan logo on it!

Hey all! Brainiac Brent and I took on a fun experiment…
We're going to install Mac OS X 10.4.x Tiger onto an Apple TV. We're essentially turning the Apple TV into a low-end Mac mini!
The first-get Apple TV uses an Intel Core M, and Tiger runs on Intel, so it's gotta be possible, right? Check out the photos above for some sneak peeks / behind-the-scenes from the next episode. More to come!

Hey! So while we were filming Thursday's SSD upgrade episode, we had some down time (during a large file transfer). So Maniac Mike busted out his iMac G3 Dalmatian and we had some fun!

Hey guys! I wanted to make a bonus mini video for this week. Don't worry! The SSD upgrade video is still coming!
I wanted to address a question I've received—how much does Microsoft and Apple pay me?
Hey guys! Brainiac Brent and Maniac Mike were in town, so we decided to upgrade my daily driver's SSD from a 512 GB to a 1 TB. Above is a photo of the Samsung SSD that shipped with the Mac.
Behind the scenes: Brent is the stand-in while I set the camera.
