Looking back at running this channel for the past 10 years, talking about the ups and downs and everything in between. Content Warnings: Politics, AI, Mental Health.

Thank you so much for keeping the channel going for all these years!

You can watch my videos on PeerTube here: https://makertube.net/c/janbeta/videos

My very first video from 10 years ago is still here: https://youtu.be/LhWcAZ29wck

My very first C64 repair: https://youtu.be/3ImBPNb9M88

I made a list of ways to support me on my website: https://support.janbeta.net

A small snippet from Ennio Morricone's brilliant main theme for "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" is used in the video.

Congratulations on 10 years! I found you during Covid and I’m now tinkering with old Macs at night - I trained in digital electronics and work as a software engineer. Massive respect for everything you’ve said in this video, there are channels on YouTube I stopped watching as soon as it became obvious their political compass was pointing in the wrong direction. Lately that’s taken me to looking for more content on peertube and supporting the creators through Patreon, yourself included as of about five minutes ago.Like you I’ve not touched LLMs for all the reasons you stated, and never will. I work freelance, I’d rather turn a job down, or quit a contract I’m already working, than be required to use LLMs in my day job.Wishing you well now, and in the future!

    @gulfie Thanks for the kind words and the support, Phil! And extra kudos for taking a stand against that LLM madness. I have a feeling that human-created work is going to become more valuable in the future (and of course the things "created" by LLMs are going to need a lot of maintenance).
