Congrats on your 400th episode! Your last point, 'to make people happy', is excellent. People fly radio-controlled airplanes just for the fun of it. They don't transport people or goods, they just enjoy it. Fun is an obvious factor often overlooked.

You know what else is left unanswered, the oldest video of ExplainingComputers, Chris said "Welcome to another video..." Did he had another channel older than the one we don't know about but then made a new one.
@ExplainingComputers 2 роки тому
Hi Jeff -- and a very good question! In some ways my favourite EC video remains the very first one I posted, which was on Web 2.0. In it I compared defining Web 2.0 as about as hard as nailing a jelly to a wall, and actually built a fake piece of wall and tried to nail a jelly to it. And in some ways I've never topped this! I also have very fond memories of the video I made at the The National Museum of Computing here in the UK, where I "met" Colossus: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/g5uErHlwp3x4u6c.html
@ExplainingComputers 2 роки тому
@SBPepperminion is right -- I did say "welcome to another video" in the first ever video, in anticipation that I would make more than one, and they would not always be watched in upload order. :)
@johnpickens448 2 роки тому
Jeff and Chris are the two best proponents of this wonderful Raspberry Pi platform. I thank you both for your great videos! I hope the RPi foundation can ramp up to satisfy the huge demand for their devices. Can't find them anywhere!
@NewAgeDIY 2 роки тому
As a 35 years as a computer technician, I have worked on hundreds of different computers and used numerous operating systems. It was only a few years ago that I stumbled upon EC. From that day forward the Raspberry Pi has changed my life. Even though I retired from the IT business, for the last 20 years my only interaction with technology was using my Mac and it’s software. But the Raspberry Pi changed me. It brought me back to my roots. I got back into programming and building new devices. I even build my first PC from watching your channel. So thank you Christopher for the opportunity of learning all over again. I’m always looking forward to every Sunday’s explaining Computer video. You never really know what new and exciting project or device will be presented.

When I started in IT in 1982, our three mainframe computers possessed less total compute power and RAM memory than a Raspberry Pi 3B+, and by a significant margin. I use an RPi4B-4GB as my desktop, right here, and have been a fan since the beginning. The Pi Foundation might make a good candidate for a Nobel Peace Prize, their work is that important and beneficial. People need to understand computing so that it cannot be easily used against them, as is happening now around the world.

I learned to program on a PDP-12 as a kid in 1970ish. I was in the room when excited scientists gathered by the computer waiting for the magnetic ring memory (the tech showed it to me when he opened up the back) to be upgraded from 4k to 8k. I'll always remember one of the guys in a white coat kind of clapping his hands together and saying, "Think of the algorithms we'll be able to run!" The tech quietly explained to me that the memory had always been there, they just weren't allowed to use it until the upgrade was paid for. Some years later I was a tech myself programming equipment with paper tape or banks of switches. Fun to fix things back then. Dramatic changes.
@Neilhuny 2 роки тому
I started in 1986 so I just missed punchcards, happily, though I know some of the early computers had additional capacity not yet paid for so unusable. My favourite 'old' story is of a cleaner who had followed a computer operator in to the computer room (carefully controlled environment and should have been secure, for those that don't know) to speak to him. On the way out she found the entry door had automatically locked so she hit the big red button next to the door to release the doorlock. But it was the emergency shut down button. It immediately shutdown a nationally significant insurance company and took all employees offline. The re-start procedure took approx 1.5 hrs.
@lawrenceallwright7041 2 роки тому
That's a quite staggering fact. If you visit the Fleet Air Arm museum in Yeovil, Concorde 002 is there, with half of the aircraft crammed with the computing systems they used while making early test flights. These computers have less power than a modern budget priced laptop. In fact a Pi 400 would probably show them a clean pair of heels.

The educational and entertainment value of the RP and other similar SBC’s is invaluable. For those like myself that simply enjoy learning and experimenting, being able to then transfer some knowledge learned, into something practical, is immeasurable. Learning how to make your own DIY water leak sensor for the hot water heater in the home, building your own low cost, highly practical NAS, media server etc. gives a person a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction that then leads into other learning projects. As stated, this can all happen without the angst of potentially ruining your main PC, or other hardware. Thanks so much Chris, for continuing to further the learning and entertainment opportunities for us all.

There are 3 YT channels I always turn to for Raspberry Pi stuff and they are EC, Jeff Geerling and leepspvideo. Learn practically all my stuff from them starting almost 7 yrs ago. My first was a Raspberry Pi 2B and I have now owned 11 of them used in OMV, MotionEye, Android OS, Volumio and Retro Gaming. EC explains things in details in a systematic style, Jeff for his exploits and humor and leepspvideo for his various tinkling with RPi accessories and OS. Kudos to all of them. Thanks and looking forward to more good things to come.

It got me through the isolation of the pandemic and re-ignited a passion for tech that had been dim for quite some time. Truly it's a product that knocks it out of the park across the board, in a million ways. My pi is my daily driver, my dev station and a source of massive pleasure.

I ran smack into the supply shortage when I got the bright idea of getting a GPi 2 Case. I figured I'd just pop down to the local Microcenter and grab a CM4 module. Imagine my surprise when Microcenter didn't have a single Pi! I ended up having to pay for one of 35 remaining modules with MMC on Mouser. Which would cause its own set of problems (can't use an SD card with an MMC device) but at least I got it working. On the bright side, I learned that CM4s are amazing! They come in box the size of a matchbox and snap into whatever project board you want. Waveshare has cheap boards with all the I/O of an RPi 4, but also with NVMe slots and other goodies not present on the official RPi boards. I'm really loving these things!

Hello, dear Chris. It's always good to share another EC video with my family. I have 4 RPi's, (3,4, two Zero2's) and I'm now playing with two Pico's. My 4, for the moment, is my family's daily driver and has been since it came out. I'm having a blast coding to metal on one of the Zero2's. That's not such an easy thing on a modern desktop, but on the little Pi, it's like the 1970's all over again. The education the kids are getting from them is fundamental and with the sad state of our schools where I live, it's an opportunity they would have otherwise been denied.

Congratulations on your 400th video. Your videos are informative, entertaining and have inspired me to learn new things that I thought I was too old to learn. Good job and thanks for all the work you put into your videos.

I can't say that I've seen all 400 of your videos, but every single one has been informative and entertaining. From my first encounter with the topic on SSDs and their inherent down side as an issue for their use, I was pulled down the memory rabbit hole and never looked back. Always a must for Sunday morning (or afternoon) -- this channel, Vice Grip Garage, and Ship Happens are my favourites, as I always have liked the ideas that people come up with to solve problems. SBCs have also been a topic I've liked, ever since I added a PCCHIPS 787 to my network 20 years ago. Thanks, Chris.

Very much enjoyed. How fitting you chose the RPi for this #400. Indeed it is the reason I stumbled across your channel several years ago. I was intrigued and interested in the Pi when I found out it had GPIO pins and how inexpensive they were. I bought the first model and found your channel and you showed how to control LEDs and connections to breadboards. Since then I have watched most, if not all, of your videos and routinely watch on Sunday afternoons your latest episode. I have since bought about 10 Pis and love to use them for prototyping and trying things out. They are an endless source of learning and discovery. I have an Odroid NextCloud that I originally prototyped on a Pi to see how it would work. I'm not keen on heights so mountain climbing is not at the top of my list for fun things to do, but the RPi and your channel are!

1st off, congratulations on hitting 400 videos. I'm looking forward to the next 400! [confession, I havent watched all 400..] lol. Anyways, I really wanted to comment on and commend you on your presentation style and your ability to give the right amount of "hype" and importance to the things and subjects you cover, and you never over-do (so far as I can tell) any your emphasis on things that you are obviously excited to be covering. For what it's worth, you've become a voice of reason and discernment and a go-to resource for me when I'm trying to understand a particular Tech-related concept. .. And bless you for the rest of Time for doing your quick and to the point "Like, Subscribe, etc etc" at the VERY end of your videos. Cheers!

Happy 10th birthday to the Pi, and happy 400th birthday to you. You don't look it! So was that "What can I use a Raspberry Pi for?" or "What can I use a Raspberry Pi 4?" Anyway, keep them coming, looking forward to the next 400.

Massive congratulations on 400 videos Chris ... and yes, I've watched every one. The RPi is by far my favourite thing to tinker with, I continue to have many all around the house doing various tasks, including most of the ones in your list. In addition, I also have one working as PiHole. Here's to many more videos.
