The YouTube video [0] is quite funny, I like when someone doesn't take themselves too seriously.

Ouch, shade on the SensorPush. I had 2 and I got 2 more. It requires an app, but they're quite well made imho.

But yes, open source would be better. If physical portability is not a requirement, Xiaomi hygrometer 2 with this custom firmware https://github.com/atc1441/atc_MiThermometer is quite excellent

I have no idea what he's talking about most of the time but I can't stop watching.

Andrew Quitmeyer doesn't take himself very seriously, but dogs take him VERY seriously.

He does it all: the YouTube face, the math floating around, non-working greenscreen, some memes and then he goes camping (including a Blair Witch style run through the snow). This is so brilliant.
