For a decent amount of the older android / CarPlay usb implementations - you can also buy little WiFi / USB dongles that perfectly enable wireless CarPlay - I’ve used them now on a few vehicles and they have been perfect !

An awesome idea from Mark Rober !
Damnit, you got me with that one !!
Wow what a trip down memory lane - I was obsessed with this as a child !
The sounds of each tool instantly transport me back !
I really hope that when Apple is forced to open up access to competing app stores that there will be a setting for me to ban sideloads or downloads on my parents devices.
I’ve really been enjoying the “Safety Third” podcasts from William Osman and co - not particularly informational but very entertaining, especially given most of the guys are from a science and engineering background.
Darknet Diaries is also one I recommend - Jack is a great host and storyteller.
Don't think it's particularly innovative really - a lot of electricians in the UK are now installing the Quinetic -
https://www.quinetic.co.uk/ - system and it works really well in terms of wireless switches.
Mostly it's not to save the cost of the actual cable - but to save the install cost on an old brick building, where installing a new switch requires fairly extensive work to the house and brickwork.

Oh wow e107 takes me back to my early days of working on websites for my latest gaming obsession !
I just don't pick up the phone to numbers that are not saved in my contacts anymore - seems to have saved me a tonne of hassle.
Great to see OBS also being used on this one - although I imagine setting up and configuring that many instances of OBS must have been a bit of a pain.
I fully suspect though that the people who do want Amazon Key and the people who are happily defrauding Amazon are not one and the same.
I realise that there are the porch pirates who are another issue entirely!
I think that some of their more recent decisions have been questionable - but there is still no doubt in my mind that you get a lot for your money, even if you do have to troubleshoot a little bit more than more pro stuff...
For anyone interested in more of this sort of stuff - including ways to modify some brands so they are not being driven as hard, it's always worth to check out Big Clive on YouTube.

Just wanted to add - I absolutely love watching your videos, thanks so much for all of the effort you put in !
Owned and developed by Milestone I believe.
This is fantastic- somehow works so perfectly as background noise for working in my home office.
I've driven past this farmhouse a fair few times and also believed the urban myth - quite nice to know the actual reason for it's existence !
Damn that takes me back - I begged my parents for one, eventually got one and found out that there was no one to actually message.
Definitely remember being a little bit addicted to Cylandia and eventually found another person at my school who had one.
1Password for me - not overly happy that they moved over to a subscription based pricing, but I’ve been using it for years now and it works well across all of my devices.
I must admit - I really love the delivery of CoffeeZilla’s videos, really interesting coverage of a lot of this kind of thing, something that traditional media tends to gloss over.
I love simple sites like this - it's a shame that google seems to punish sites like this that contain information that is not often updated (because it does not need to be).
I use Feedbin -
https://feedbin.com for both my RSS feeds and email news letters - I find it works really well and allows me to favourite things as and when I wish to read them again.
Lots of RTSP cameras available - which would do exactly what you want and leaves you fairly open to whatever software you choose to implement on the server to share the feed.
I use lots of the Ubiquiti Cameras - I’ve had lots of success using them without the UniFi Protect controller app purely as RTSP devices.
I mean it’s probably quite tricky to keep a constant eye on every KM of both pipelines - but given the number of surveys involved just to get NS2 to a state where it could originally be pressurised - before they went bankrupt. I would say you could at least do semi regular inspections using ROVs.
