Ben Eater's fantastic video series on building a breadboard 6502 based computer and an 8-bit breadboard computer from scratch might be appreciated in this thread.

He also sells kits if one is interested in playing along.

Definitely agree on priority #2.

My flow for watching youtube has been to subscribe and sign up for email alerts (the bell). When I had some time to watch, I'd scan my youtube alerts email folder for items of interest. It was efficient and would quickly leave me with a queue of videos.

That workflow went away for me this month: https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/63269933?hl=en

I don't even know what the alert bell is for now. If I look at notifications its full of "recommendations". If I go to my subscriptions its random items from all my subscriptions regardless of "the bell".

A counterpoint, although perhaps an exception, to the idea that diversified law and culture results in smaller companies in Europe might be Airbus.

Another way to say 10G via an SFP+ transceiver, as opposed to 10G via twisted pair.

I just use vcsh combined with (optionally) myrepos to handle this.
