The forum post is so late.

I had to suffer through the indignity of going to youtube to see it this morning.

Well, it's been up for 11 hours or so... Just wasn't able to create the forum post before bed last night due to downtime :P

Studying and school take a lot of your time :(

I saw this earlier, another good video from you guys! I especially like those port covers, they might just save me from having to find a replacement logic board for my sisters iMac when she eventually plugs her usb drive into the thunderbolt port.

Yep, unfortunately there has been. We tried out a new hosting service which caused a bunch of issues, and rather than letting those issues fester and frustrate the community we decided to take action and find a solid hosting service that will provide a stable and enjoyable experience in the long term.

So far it seems like we made a good decision, but only time will tell! As always we want feedback from the community, so please let us know if you encounter any issues.

I can't find the USB adapter depicted in the video, can anyone provide a direct link to its product page? I'm probably just being blind.

The link for the giveaway looks like it has a referral link from the channel, so does that mean I'm automatically entered if I click on it when logged into my account?

thanks for the quick response, but what I meant was this:

-Episode 1,  -Episode 2, -Episode 3, -Episode 4, -Episode 5

 

Sorry if I was unclear, just thought it be handy to have the links to the earlier eps right here in this thread.

 

cheerio!
