Do you guys have any recommendations for me to switch to? I already subscribed to Gamers Nexus, Hardware Unboxed and JayzTwoCents.

Thanks in advance :)

Ah I would've gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling ads.

i hope he never gives me up

XcQ not for you

[–] Alto@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

RandomGamingInHD is pretty neat. Like seeing people push real budget stuff to its absolute limits. LowSpecGamer used to be my go to for that, but it seems he completely changed thr channels directions and purged the old videos.

LGR and 8-bit Guy both do a lot of cool stuff with old and obsolete hardware.

[–] TheOakTree 4 points 1 year ago

+1 for RGiHD

Not the most in depth performance metrics, but gives a good look at what kind of performance you can get out of older/cheaper hardware.

[–] twistedtxb@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 year ago

I love Derbauer.

[–] SecretSauce@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My two absolute favourites right now

Bringus Studios - this is pretty close to classic LTT episodes (he did "I bought a SEGA PC?!?!?!!" before Linus did) and often involves trying to upgrade hardware that wasn't designed to be upgraded or installing software on systems not meant for it (turning a PS4 into a steam deck for example) all with a delightful layer of jank to it So kinda like the videos with Jake

A little more different but equally brilliant channel is

MattKC - his most popular video is him trying to get a game to fit into a qr code (brilliant) but also extends to him buying and fixing a Wii he bought for 1$ in Japan or trying to build the fastest Windows 98 compatible PC and modding old consoles So kinda like the videos with Alex

For more of the entertainment cool shit side of LTT, I love DIY Perks. He does a lot of really cool techy builds

Dawid is great, I love his sense of humor.

Hardware Canucks for other Canadian tech news

[–] Poggervania@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Hardware Canucks is very good for peripheral reviews. Haven’t watched them in a hot minute since I’ve been happy with my audio and mouse/keyboard setup, but they go the extra step of doing things like showing recordings from different headsets and how well a mouse glides.

Something Canadian, that's refreshing. It always annoyed me the LTT was Canadian but always put prices in American..

Level1techs, Chris Titus, Servethehome, Craft computing, Lawrence systems, 8-bit guy, look mom no computer, Mark Rober, Austin Evans, mkbhd, ijustine, jerryrigeverything, technology connections.

Those I could come up with relatively fast without checking my subscriptions in freetube.

Also some rocket tech because rockets are cool:

Pbs space, Xyla Foxlin, air command rockets, everyday astronaut, Scott Manley, Marcus House

i can't express how much i love technology connections

[–] AtomicPurple@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Technology connections is literally the best YouTube channel ever.

[–] ruk_n_rul@monyet.cc 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

PBS space time is on its whole other league. It's more theoretical astrophysics than rocket science.

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

You're thinking of pbs spacetime.

I mixed up a bit, it's bps.space, Joe Barnard and his work on model rocketry

[–] TheOakTree 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

2kliksphilip, RandomGaminginHD, DIY Perks, der8auer, and KrisFix-Germany are all neat tech/gaming oriented channels, but obviously none of them cover gaming/tech as a whole like LTT does.

[–] BabaDuda@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Tech Iceberg and RandomGaminginHD

(What can I say, the British accent adds like 50 points to my rubric

[–] notenoughbutter@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

TechAltar is the best one

[–] BlueSquid0741@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago

Phil’s Computer Lab if you want to see someone reviewing DOS, Win9x and XP era hardware.

[–] kryllic@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Mental Outlaw for Linux/privacy stuff for sure. Dude has some hot takes and has been focusing a bit more on his farm at the moment but he's got some good topics

[–] AtomicPurple@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Here's a small Brazilian tech channel that I really like

I'll recommend Power Cert Animated Videos, it's really good to grasp the basics on some topics in my opinion.
