TL;DR
"I wont go into the physics" + 27 minutes of ranting about how their press materials are crap.
You're welcome.

i can't stand this guy...

Old_Zircon - 2020-09-23 He seems like an asshole but he also has one of the best practical EE channels on Youtube, so I've learned to tolerate it.

crasspm - 2020-09-23 I've worked with guys like this in tech. They're brilliant but are near toxic with their derision towards everything, making being around them for any length of time exhausting.

Old_Zircon - 2020-09-24 Yeah, I feel like everyone I've known who worked in tech was constantly stressed out because the majority of their coworkers were like this to some degree. One mechanical engineer I knew once said (more or less verbatim) "almost everyone in this industry are deep into either far-right, Randian political ideas or Christian fundamentalism, because the deterministic, rule based way of seeing the world that makes you a good mechanical engineer also makes you tend toward deterministic, rule based views of he world." (They would probably argue hard against it, but Objectivism is for all intents and purposes a secular, individualist mutation of Calvinism).
But I wouldn't have been able to successfully build an 8 voice analog polysynth without the stuff I learned on this guy's channel about surface mount work, so I'm glad he does what he does.
But yeah, he seems like a huge asshole. AND Australian.

jfcaron_ca - 2020-09-24 I just can't stand the repetition and endless fluff, wowee! It's too bad there is actual good information embedded in the morass. I've forced myself to tolerate him for a few videos on topics I really cared about.
These engineers need to learn some quantum mechanics to loosen up their philosophy.
