    Not a sponsor, this isn't the place for it.

    The fact they transition so smoothly between each sponsor spot is kinda scary even if the whole video and script was doing sponsor things.

    You have to wonder if they got paid for every single one of those sponsor spots

    To be honest, i would stick to whatever is the most optimized OS for the steamdeck. 
    Would be awesome if you could dual boot windows 11 and steamOS.
    If the games somehow magically ran the same on the steamdeck and windows 11, i would pick windows 11. Linux has corrupted on me so many times now when i've tried to use it as a dualboot.

    It isn't that weird that it doesn't spit out water cooling parts with a loose search like "g1/4 fitting"
    Depending on how the search algorithm is built, it isn't unexpected to break out the "1/4" away from "g", and then search for items that matches as many of the terms as possible. Then also likely search for "related" terms for each search term, so for "fitting" it likely also searches for "fit". And then from here we want each item found to match as many of the search terms as possible.
     
    Ie, we suddenly end up searching for an item that should match as many of "g", "1/4", "1", "/", "4", "0.25", "fit", "fitting", etc.
     
    So the high pressure fuel pump for Sonata isn't that weird of a find. It contains 3 "1"s, 2 "4"s, "fit", and 3 "g"s, so it obviously could be something you are looking for.
     
    So that exercise gear, clothing, and a whole bunch of other random crap appears isn't weird. Ebay more or less does the same at a lot of times. However, Ebay has been in the game for longer and has a literal library of search terms is can categorize, so it often understands what the person is searching for and can even make recommendation for similar things, instead of just having to wing it. But search for something more random and even Ebay is a mess to find stuff on...
     
    Search engine optimization is after all an art that most larger companies holds as a very closely guarded secret.
     
    Understanding what a random user uses as a search term is honestly an art. Having seen how others search, it sure is a random mess... Everything from typing questions ("I need a water cooling fitting with a g one quarter fitting on it for a reasonably cheap price and good quality.") to just blaring out the shortest possible description (like "g1/4" and hoping for the best), or going wild with descriptive terms and advanced search functions to filter the results when available.

    They did it to show why you SHOULD NOT buy from wish.
     
    Just like the many video's warning not to buy scam GPU's from sites like Amazon, Ebay, Aliexpress AND WISH

    I work a lot with batteries and have never seen an "evil BMS" as described where it will just stop working after X uses.
     
    It is however common for BMSes to - well, do their job and monitor the battery, and if something very much not OK happens lock themselves out permanently for safety since that should never have happened and it's not possible to know if the battery is still safe to use after that's happened. That includes a middle cell voltage suddenly disappearing.
    On a lot of those you can re-cell, BUT you have to follow a strict procedure and disconnect the cells from + to - in order one after the other. If you disconnect the top cell, then the next etc it's fine, but if you just disconnect randomly and it senses a middle cell voltage going to 0 it goes into "permanent failure" mode straight away. 
    Some from the common manufacturers (TI etc) can be reset using software tools but it sometimes requires having access to software keys. There are people who have them and will do that for you. 
     
    Other than that for the low current draw a RED pulls putting 2 layers of strip was totally unnecessary. OK was just to link the groups together

    What I don't like about the video is the panick and misinformation about the sparks. I'm 99% sure they came from bad welding technique (bad contact, wrong parametres) and had nothing to do with used cells.
