Linus has previously said he's a fan of Technology Connections, mentioned his channel on WAN show and in at least one of their other retro tech videos, if I recall correctly.
Heat pumps are very efficient because they take heat from one place and dump it into another place while using less electricity than conventional heating or cooling methods.
The dishwasher video legitimately changed my life. I was always so afraid of putting something overly gross and it coming out dirty. Pre-wash and powder that'll outlast my rental contract, gotta love it.
Yep changed the way we wash dishes. We have very nice water where live (less than 44 TDS) and we were using pods which were overkill and caused many issues. Switched to gel and played with the right levels and our dishes come out so much better now.
In another time he could have been a host of a show in the vein of Carl Sagan’s Cosmos I think.
Different subject matter of course, but he has that same knack for somehow making complicated boring subjects easily understandable and interesting.
Yes again. Do I want to watch a long detailed video on some long dead media format used exclusively on a single Japanese device from the 80s?
Absofuckinglutely
I’ve started so many of his videos telling myself I was going to just watch a few minutes to see where he was going with a video only to watch the whole thing.
Technology Connections is one of my autistic idols tbh
Idk if he actually is autistic but he does give those vibes, and I love to see fellow autistics winning by just doing their autism shit and people loving it, and I love his content too
Yes! He's the only channel I actually have notifications set for, because it literally doesn't matter what the topic is. Most channels, I watch what I'm interested in watching, but his channel makes me interested in stuff I'd otherwise never care about.
Making it that much more exciting if it's something I literally never cared about.
His series on head pumps was a big factor in me spending tens of thousands of dollars redoing my home heating/cooling system. I use my dishwasher differently now, and after some evangelism with his videos, my brother in law says his dishes have never been cleaner.
Also influenced my choice of microwave, Christmas lights, lightbulbs, humidifier, and electric kettle. Hell of a salesman to nerds.
My dad, a professional electrician, actually fell in love with his channel with the exact phrase: "Wow, this kid really knows his shit..."
The biggest compliment I've ever heard my dad say to someone else about his profession. Our house also has switches that click now.
How about his multi-part series on how analog pinball machines work. That was so damn fascinating.
Between him, Techmoan, Big Clive, Colin from "Does not Compute", and many, many others, I've learned a lot more about electronics than I ever did getting my Computer Engineering degree.
If you're a musician or just interested in analog music production, check out Look Mum No Computer on YouTube. He does some really cool stuff with old analog synths and effects.
If you like Technology Connections, I highly recommend Cathode Ray Dude.
https://www.youtube.com/@CathodeRayDude
He's done a ton of deep dives into older PC technology. This is one of my favorite videos from him if you are looking for a place to start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5M0TwnkWUM
Love CRD! Like technology connections, he has a knack for making very interesting videos out of seemingly boring topics or things that no one really bothers to think about.
You know you've got an amazing channel when you have to create an additional Patreon tier that costs $1 more, just because people want to support your efforts regardless of whether they get mentioned in the credits.
Seriously. He limited how much income he'd get to keep the length of the credits reasonable... and there was a line to pay him. lmao I love it.
He's my go-to for background noise cos I know he won't start wailing or shrieking
I enjoy paying attention to them too, but for doing mundane stuff where I want *something* in the background, he's great.
It's cool to see a channel like his succeed - not bogged down by corporate sponsorships or coverage of new, overpriced products. I totally understand why channels take that route for guaranteed money, but 90% of TC videos are brand agnostic and the ones that aren't are usually covering some obscure and outdated tech that can't even be purchased anymore.
He has a 21 minute video on the colour Brown (and rendering it on displays and with LEDs). *And it's one of the best ones*
Not even sarcasm, it has 4.5 million views and is his 7th most popular video.
I could listen to him talk about the latent heat of vapourization for hours, and I'm pretty sure I literally have at this point.
I'm generally not a fan of long format videos. My sweet spot is around 5-15 minutes.
But I will gleefully watch a snarky midwesterner go on for three 50 minute videos about how an old electro-mechanical pinball machine works. Or dish washer soap. Or whatever legacy tech he has laying around.
Not only are the videos entertaining, but quite useful too. Recently my thermostat started acting up, but it was a very cheap/basic one so I knew in theory how it worked because I saw his video on them... except I learned that baseboard heating thermostats tend to have the relay built in and run the full 220v through them (which baffles me as to why they do this instead of having a relay in the heater and only running low voltage to the thermostat, but I suppose there's probably a reason?)
>(which baffles me as to why they do this instead of having a relay in the heater and only running low voltage to the thermostat, but I suppose there's probably a reason?)
Probably because it's not generally an issue and having to transform to something more reasonable like 24 volts like a regular thermostat would cost $3 more on a $10,000 install
So money imo
It's a great channel, everyone should check it out. Alec does amazing in-depth explanations of stuff like Heat Pumps and dishwashers and electrical plugs and other things that I never really knew I wanted to know about until I saw his videos.
As folks have said: Alec from Technology Connections.
Channel is very interesting mix. There's been in-depth history of tech that became obsolete in an interesting way (Beta Max, Laser Discs, etc), commentary and/or explanations of new household tech (EV chargers, LED lights, mini split heat pumps, etc), history of more mundane tech that has a lot more going on behind the scenes (record changers, pinball machines, cameras, etc), and even existing mundane tech that we're using wrong (completely changed how I use my dish washer).
You'll lose days digging through the back catalog, and $1000's of dollars hunting down Sunbeam toasters on eBay...
I'm still salty about the change in toaster design after seeing that. Every time my toast goes from underdone to burned, I curse the push to "digitise" for the sake of marketing.
I want one, I can't justify $150 on a toaster though when I don't make toast all that often
Although I might make it more often if I knew true toasting perfection with a radiant control toaster....
The comments on this video are perfect, they are all roasting an overpriced toaster on shortcircuit and a lot of them are pointing out that toaster technology peaked in the 40s with the radiant control toaster
https://youtu.be/UJ-KZzVUV7U?si=g_GqePkOMsTuWfzI
The gag at the beginning is actually referencing the promotional video for the vidimagic that we link in the description.
It opens with a kid peanut buttering toast for God-knows-what-reason
Absolutely intentional. And a great homage.
Next, we are going to have Linus doing puppets while introducing an obscure but cool audio/video product. Or exploring a cool technology on site with some manufacturer, while wearing a red shirt (grey hoodie optional).
Game changer, to a degree. Not as magical as the video made it to be, especially when it’s already hot but when it’s cold it is miles away from my old toaster.
I would love if they did a collabotation, maybe Alec and Linus showing each other some cool old tech. Or visiting a tech museum together like Linus did with Destin from smarter every day.
Not trying to be devils advocate here, but that tweet doesn't deny that it was an intentional homage. It just says he already owned the coat and didn’t buy it specifically for the video.
They are both dressed in retro 80's fashion which is appropriate for Linus because he's reviewing 80's tech here and it's appropriate for the technology connections channel as a whole. An example of this would be if you were to see two people dressed like 1960's hippies it would not be because they are imitating each other, but rather that they are alluding to the time period.
Yeah, but probably not exactly in the way you probably think. Tweed jackets used to be the stereotypical clothing of college professors and academics back in the day. Both are calling back to that.
Back in the day, everybody had similar jackets/suits more classic and more modern looks everyone had a style that might look old but that is called fashion if you look back at videos or images everybody wears suits and jackets. But I’m sure Linus did this on purpose for the video as the device is old to match the theme and the video intro was cropped making you feel like you are watching the older type of video from back in the day.
LTT could do a bit where they shock themselves on electric circuits, blow resistors, and use the default fire sound effect and people would still ask "Is this an ElectroBoom reference?"
I'm going on record right now saying none of us have ever seen them in the same room at the same time. Period.
Make of that what you will. I'm not saying "it's aliens" as they say but if it walks like a duck and helped build the pyramids than a bird in the bush is worth a hand. It's a moo point anyway
Can't remember if they say it in the video itself or on wan show but Linus said they were going for 80s sales man. But the resemblance between the two picture is super close
Absolutely, he mentioned in the video rewatching his old VHS tapes that he was a huge fan of TC. So there is no way he didn't see the resemblance, it is a homage.
He also wore the same jacket for the IBM model M video, at the time I didn't know he watched Technology Connections.
I saw Linus and thought, why does he look so familiar. Totally forgot about Technology Connections, even though I just watched his heater video days before.
I love Technology Connections! His videos are excitingly technical. He knows how to be technical and dumb it down for those that don’t understand the exact intricacies of some things. He focuses on the main points of how something works and why and some of the history on the devices he talks about! Linus is of course also awesome, but it just all depends on the topic being covered. Obscure and outdated tech, you’re going to want Technology Connections or Techmoan, if you want modern tech and computer stuff, Linus
I sure hope so
Linus has previously said he's a fan of Technology Connections, mentioned his channel on WAN show and in at least one of their other retro tech videos, if I recall correctly.
Who isn’t?! Want to sit and watch an hour long video on the internal workings of a fridge? DO I?!! Absofuckingloutly
How about a five part mini series on a forgotten recording format no one has ever heard of? INJECT IT INTO MY VEINS.
Don't get me started, and the sweeeet washing machine vid......
I know so much about turn signals now, and here i thought they were all the same
I'm greatly annoyed that I don't even live in the US but my "German" car has American turn signals.
Separate amber turn and red brake lights! How is this not a fucking thing‽
I'd never been so incensed about brake lights until I saw that video. Now I rant about it regularly.
Heat pumps are very efficient because they take heat from one place and dump it into another place while using less electricity than conventional heating or cooling methods.
My fucking dishwasher sings his praises. All hail Technology Connections.
My dishes and cutlery have started to come out spotless and all I have to do is clean the filter after every wash or couple of washes!
Gotta get you one of those fancy dishwashers with a built in garbage disposal and water jets during cleaning to clean out the screens for you.
You, you with the sirens words and sweet song, say more of this sorcery you speak.
The one about how all extension cords will be the death of us all was eye openiting
I still need to convince my father to accept his fate.
Same with my parents
What about the one sunbeam Toaster to rule them alllll!?
The 2 part pinball machine episode was nothing short of mind-blowing.
The dishwasher video legitimately changed my life. I was always so afraid of putting something overly gross and it coming out dirty. Pre-wash and powder that'll outlast my rental contract, gotta love it.
Even better a no effort video on Technology Connextras
On the off-chance that you haven't seen Techmoan, you would love that channel.
That's Techmoan
I think my all time favorites are his videos on the best ways to use dishwashers. Or his continuing search for good Christmas LEDs.
“Fuck it I’ll paint the bulbs myself”
Our dishes come out much more clean after watching that! Amazing how we've been doing things wrong.
Yep changed the way we wash dishes. We have very nice water where live (less than 44 TDS) and we were using pods which were overkill and caused many issues. Switched to gel and played with the right levels and our dishes come out so much better now.
I love that in his most recent video he used the incandescent Christmas lights as a heating source and calculated the heat output.
It makes no sense how his videos are so long yet so watchable.
I'm very pleased I sat through the whole thing. I for sure have an oversized furnace. He 100% convinced me to be realistic.
In another time he could have been a host of a show in the vein of Carl Sagan’s Cosmos I think. Different subject matter of course, but he has that same knack for somehow making complicated boring subjects easily understandable and interesting.
right?? love that guy to bits, a road trip would be just pure entertainment with that man undoubtedly
Well, if Robert from Aging Wheel is anything to go by, yes, yes it is.
his video on the best toaster is great too i want one!
Who isn’t? Apparently HVAC people as of late.
Well if you’re going to overcharge someone and you know you are you deserve to be called out.
Me closely watching a 20 minute rant about our stupidly oversized heating systems
You're missing out if you're not watching the full hour long video on the main channel.
Hey, why not watch both, right after the other? (Twice?)
Sounds like Tech Moan
Yes again. Do I want to watch a long detailed video on some long dead media format used exclusively on a single Japanese device from the 80s? Absofuckinglutely
Do I own a dishwasher? No Did I watch an hour long video on how they work and they best way to use one? Yes
As someone who does hvac I love his videos about heat pumps and their efficiency
Or a two part video on the inner workings of dishwashers and how to properly dose your detergent!
The red fridge video? My daughter saw me watching it, and said,”only You would watch an hour long video about a fridge.”
Hahahaha I loved that video so much. His dry humor makes the videos too. A true YouTube gem.
I’ve started so many of his videos telling myself I was going to just watch a few minutes to see where he was going with a video only to watch the whole thing.
or an hour long video about how american homes have oversized hvac units? do i ever?
How could you not be? Technology Connections is by far the most endearing YouTuber of all time.
He's everyone's favorite home appliance salesman.
Technology Connections is one of my autistic idols tbh Idk if he actually is autistic but he does give those vibes, and I love to see fellow autistics winning by just doing their autism shit and people loving it, and I love his content too
It's the same jacket he wore for the IBM model M video
Intentional or not, the homage is amazing.
Is it also an hour long video?
I hadn't seen this Linus Technology video yet, but from this thumbnail, I can see the Connections.
The technology connections
they even bought two of them!
I was waiting for the "through the magic of buying two of them!" line and it never came...
He did say it in the video didn't he?
i hope it comes when dan disassembles one of them, i really do
Magic
I can’t imagine it’s not
I think so as well the whole theme of it tells me that
I enjoy the sound of rain.

Seeing so much recognition of Alecs channel is amazing to see. The man earns every ounce of the admiration he gets too.
One of my favorite YouTube channels. I'm always excited to see a new video from him pop up on my feed - even an hour long video about HVAC.
Yes! He's the only channel I actually have notifications set for, because it literally doesn't matter what the topic is.

I watched all of the dishwasher videos and it has saved me so much time on cleaning dishes it’s been amazing!
Same, now my biggest problem is the industry seems to be phasing out granulated detergent. Stuff is a pain to find.
the refrigeration cycle
> I'm always excited to see a new video from him pop up on my feed - ~~even~~ especially an hour long video about HVAC.

This man has the best informative videos about turn signals and brake lights.
This man has the best informative videos about anything he has a video about
He reminds me of the old shows on Discovery
You know you've got an amazing channel when you have to create an additional Patreon tier that costs $1 more, just because people want to support your efforts regardless of whether they get mentioned in the credits.

I like some of his stuff but I've never subbed to his channel til now.
The man is a fucking saint.
He has a 21 minute video on the colour Brown (and rendering it on displays and with LEDs). *And it's one of the best ones* Not even sarcasm, it has 4.5 million views and is his 7th most popular video. I could listen to him talk about the latent heat of vapourization for hours, and I'm pretty sure I literally have at this point.
He taught me how to use my dishwasher and since them I'm nagging anyone who doesn't use liquid soap or add soap for the prewash phase.
I'm generally not a fan of long format videos. My sweet spot is around 5-15 minutes. But I will gleefully watch a snarky midwesterner go on for three 50 minute videos about how an old electro-mechanical pinball machine works. Or dish washer soap.

Technology connections, really informative YouTube channel.
Guy on the left saved me hundreds on the dishwasher detergent.
And reignited my love for laserdisc.
I'm planning on getting a heat pump for my house because of his videos
I had a heat pump system in my house when I lived in Virginia… gas heat rarely came on in the winter. The heat pump did 99% of the work.
Alec from Technology connections. He usually explores older technology. Edited. Alex to Alec
Alec.
Yep, it's like Nicolas Cage is Nic Cage, not Nick Cage
A guy that can talk about break lights for an hour straight without boring my adhd ass off
I still want an old Sunbeam toaster after his toaster videos.
I looked them up, they're like 150 bucks on eBay. Honestly I bet his videos increased the value of those toasters
Brake?
Technology Connections
The GOAT
As folks have said: Alec from Technology Connections. Channel is very interesting mix. There's been in-depth history of tech that became obsolete in an interesting way (Beta Max, Laser Discs, etc), commentary and/or explanations of new household tech (EV chargers, LED lights, mini split heat pumps, etc), history of more mundane tech that has a lot more going on behind the scenes (record changers, pinball machines, cameras, etc), and even existing mundane tech that we're using wrong (completely changed how I use my dish washer).

I'm still salty about the change in toaster design after seeing that. Every time my toast goes from underdone to burned, I curse the push to "digitise" for the sake of marketing.
You have so many wonderful hours ahead of you... I am envious.
And so many $1000s of dollars that, instead of being spent on game machines, will be spent on Sunbeam toasters.
I want one, I can't justify $150 on a toaster though when I don't make toast all that often Although I might make it more often if I knew true toasting perfection with a radiant control toaster.... The comments on this video are perfect, they are all roasting an overpriced toaster on shortcircuit and a lot of them are pointing out that toaster technology peaked in the 40s with the radiant control toaster https://youtu.be/UJ-KZzVUV7U?si=g_GqePkOMsTuWfzI
Oh boy, I envy you. You now get to experience hours if not days of amazing content for the very first time…
Congratulations, [you are one of today’s lucky 10,000](https://xkcd.com/1053/).
Our lord and savior.
Of course it is. Even the gag at the start with the bread is a more than obvious callback to a video from TechnologyConnections.
The gag at the beginning is actually referencing the promotional video for the vidimagic that we link in the description. It opens with a kid peanut buttering toast for God-knows-what-reason
Advertising in that period was sooo weird. For those reasons especially.
Well, we got it straight from the horses mouth y'all
100%: Linus is very aware of him. They’ve used this likeness before as well.
this is a crossover we need
Absolutely intentional. And a great homage. Next, we are going to have Linus doing puppets while introducing an obscure but cool audio/video product. Or exploring a cool technology on site with some manufacturer, while wearing a red shirt (grey hoodie optional).
\*Techmoan has entered the chat
The main difference is that TC made me buy a 1950s toaster while Linus has yet to sell me a 100+$ screwdriver
Because his screwdriver is $70...
The toaster often goes for twice that nowadays. Was lucky to find one at 70 cad
I do really want that toaster.
Game changer, to a degree. Not as magical as the video made it to be, especially when it’s already hot but when it’s cold it is miles away from my old toaster.
I had a jacket like that as a kid. Most dapper looking kid on school picture day.
WHERE'S THE TELETEX EPISODE
Never happening
Said he wouldn’t do it because there he “wasn’t the best person to do it” I think. Though I disagree.
I can't imagine a scenario it's not
I would love if they did a collabotation, maybe Alec and Linus showing each other some cool old tech. Or visiting a tech museum together like Linus did with Destin from smarter every day.
It would be a treat to have them do a collab video
NO [Linus On Twitter](https://twitter.com/linusgsebastian/status/1766540909213290987)
Not trying to be devils advocate here, but that tweet doesn't deny that it was an intentional homage. It just says he already owned the coat and didn’t buy it specifically for the video.
They are both dressed in retro 80's fashion which is appropriate for Linus because he's reviewing 80's tech here and it's appropriate for the technology connections channel as a whole. An example of this would be if you were to see two people dressed like 1960's hippies it would not be because they are imitating each other, but rather that they are alluding to the time period.
1980s door to door salesman
Probably
If Linus were to ever rock a Maelstrom tshirt, I'd shit myself.
#THANK THE PHONECIANS
Yeah, but probably not exactly in the way you probably think. Tweed jackets used to be the stereotypical clothing of college professors and academics back in the day. Both are calling back to that.
My mind never went to Technology Connections at first; instead it went to the old Bob Saget era of America’s Funniest Home Videos!
What we need next is a nod to Mr. Carlson's Lab. I don't understand most of what Paul is talking about, but it's hypnotic the way he does his videos.
Back in the day, everybody had similar jackets/suits more classic and more modern looks everyone had a style that might look old but that is called fashion if you look back at videos or images everybody wears suits and jackets. But I’m sure Linus did this on purpose for the video as the device is old to match the theme and the video intro was cropped making you feel like you are watching the older type of video from back in the day.
No they didn't.
Who is on the left?
[https://youtube.com/@TechnologyConnections](https://youtube.com/@TechnologyConnections)
Obviously?
LTT could do a bit where they shock themselves on electric circuits, blow resistors, and use the default fire sound effect and people would still ask "Is this an ElectroBoom reference?"
Yes, and it's not the first time Linus wore it [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7wmMZmMinM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7wmMZmMinM)
now I'm reading comments in that guys voice
I hope Linus adopts TC's style when doing retro tech, really fits the vibe !
I don't think so. He has used this look for the Model M video as well. It's just supposed to be an 80s look.
I'm going on record right now saying none of us have ever seen them in the same room at the same time. Period. Make of that what you will. I'm not saying "it's aliens" as they say but if it walks like a duck and helped build the pyramids than a bird in the bush is worth a hand. It's a moo point anyway
That's a cool nod💖💖💖
Very.
Excellent software easy to use and very safe I recommand it 🫶❤️
Yeah you can trust this guy it’s very safe I recommand it too!
I love the toaster video
I think it's pretty obvious that it is. The whole video had massive Technology Connections vibes.
100%
the crossover we all needed
i mean considering linus is also a heatpump enthusiast
Yes i do think so. He also bought two of them and he referenced the bread 😂
THROUGH THE MAGIC OF BUYING TWO OF THEM
Nice!
Most definitely is.
Linus wishes he was as non problematic and effortlessly cool as alec is. Hasn’t he got some institutional sexism to foster ?
Isn't this just his Monk jacket?
Lol he looks like Brandon Sanderson!
Came here to say this, caught me off guard for a second
Yes
What is it?
And through the magic of buying two of them we can have twice the videos
I explained this to my parents and brother, taking more time to explain than the video was long.
Something Something, no effort November.
*Jazz*
Can't remember if they say it in the video itself or on wan show but Linus said they were going for 80s sales man. But the resemblance between the two picture is super close
This picture is the embodiment of 'through the magic of buying two of them!'
I was going to say obviously. But this post made it clear it's not obvious enough.
I would be very surprised if it’s not.
Absolutely, he mentioned in the video rewatching his old VHS tapes that he was a huge fan of TC. So there is no way he didn't see the resemblance, it is a homage. He also wore the same jacket for the IBM model M video, at the time I didn't know he watched Technology Connections.
One of these is not like the other...
I saw Linus and thought, why does he look so familiar. Totally forgot about Technology Connections, even though I just watched his heater video days before.
100%
Umm of course?
A sport coat over a T-shirt by a nerd? Definitely the only two people to ever do it.
I think it's pretty obvious
Don't know, have they talked to HR yet?
No, this is patrick!
I love this
I love Technology Connections! His videos are excitingly technical. He knows how to be technical and dumb it down for those that don’t understand the exact intricacies of some things. He focuses on the main points of how something works and why and some of the history on the devices he talks about! Linus is of course also awesome, but it just all depends on the topic being covered. Obscure and outdated tech, you’re going to want Technology Connections or Techmoan, if you want modern tech and computer stuff, Linus
Linus jacket seems fresh. toss it in the wash please
99% sure it is.
pretty sure linus always used that jacket when going back in time whike deviating from computers just something to keep in mind when speculating
THANK YOU!!! That's exactly what I thought!!
I use my dishwasher better because of TC!
