"Invest" in youtube red and save LTT videos offline

 

Don't try the "change 'you' to 'red' in the url bar" trick to get youtube red for free, it doesn't work

Get a book from a library near you, ask for books on computers.

That or as stated above go to a library, but usually their books are a bit out of date.
