Thread For Tech Quickie Video Suggestions

Tunnel Bear as fast as possible.  Then you can just link to the video at the end of every future video.

I really want a presentation pointer that can work as a mouse for my couch gaming setup.

Ever since I used an Oculus touch controller as a mouse in VR, I've been wanting something similar for outside of VR.

Something that you can point at the screen like a laser pointer to use as a mouse instead of having to hurt my arm using a mouse on the armrest.

It would be more for just general desktop use not actual gaming.

That's what a controller is for with couch gaming setups.

It would however work well for some games like point and click adventure games.

 

If you guys could try a bunch and find one that's actually good for this, that could be a quick 1-2 minute video that'd be really helpful.

What is a Network Switch?

[iamtyler]

An updated pro/con of phone operating systems. The general population's complaints about iOS or android are typically outdated and have been resolved a few versions ago.

Photography/Lenses Intro: I.E Full Frame vs Crop Frame sensors. Aperture/ISO/Exposure/Focal Length. Not too deep but the basics for newbies to photography.

A couple of videos

1: Pci explain 32-bit 64 bit 33Mhz 66Mz and their speeds etc.

2: IDE explained with speeds different pin

3: Master, Slave explained (hard drives)

4: AGP explained the different bandwidths, physical differences 

[JoostinOnline]

In your DIY SSD video mentioned that the controller determines how fast random read/write speeds are.  A video explaining that would be good.

Wow, its like you went back in time or something, crazy!

 

On topic, perhaps a techquickie on lights? All the different types and their evolution, like tungsten, CFL, CCFL, LED, and more exotic ones like HID, sodium, etc

Yes. That would be nice to see.

How about one on different types of file compression

Awesome! I thought I'd seen every video of Techquickie.

They did that (at least to some extent) here:

Which parts are you having trouble with?

[BluuStorm]

why apples trackpads are heaven when compared to windows laptops and how can they be improved

They don't have one for exposure though.

Lol all of them. I passed the test though.

My suggestion for a Tech Quickie video:

How important is chipset cooling?

 

Usually the chipset is passively cooled on desktop computers, but I've seen some laptops and even the new iMac Pro without any cooling at all.

I think that's kind of weird and somewhat confusing why you wouldn't cool the chipset.

Some chipsets really just don't need active cooling. I've had some motherboards with just the bare die and no heatsink at all, like the sandy bridge dell board in my HTPC

 

Other chipsets do need a heatsink and sometimes even active cooling.

 

Looking at you, 680i SLI boards...

Nice!

Well if you ever need help or want more info there are plenty of us on the forum who will gladly share our knowledge

How does mesh WiFi work?

The quick answer:

It uses a dedicated channel (usually on the 5GHz band) to send and receive data across the wireless network and for communication.

Hi all, this is my first post so be gentle.......I would like to see a tech quickie video done on the evolution/history of computer ports, a bit like was done with the PS/2 & USB that I've just watched.

The ports I would like to see in particular would be the firewire, DVi, eSATA, Thunderbolt, display port, HDMI and Internet Protocol Ports. Another great topic, for me anyway, would be something on what are port numbers and what do they do.....

Keep up the great work

[JoostinOnline]

This has probably already been suggested, but Meltdown and Spectre.  I'm not sure that's a 2 minute video though.

 

Also NVMe/AHCI/PCIe/SATA explanations.

i saw you had a vid abt nuclear fusion earlier so was wondering if its even feasible to make one about large hadron collider, dunno just curious i mean right now quantum computers are being made with the sole purpose of recreating weather patterns so yeah a vid about the thing that tries to recreate and study the events in the universe would be nice? i guess? i dunno im not good at speaking....
