Reject Modern Tech, Embrace eWaste
Howdy Y'all I've been a fan of Tech and Video Games for 30 years, but everything is getting more expensive, the quality isn't matching the price, and everyday more companies are stripping away features and ownership from the things we buy. But you know what is cheap, easy to own and hopefully repairable? EWASTE For over a year now I've been doing 1 project a week, 1 video a week, looking at different pieces of gaming and tech history, repairing it or out-right modding it into something it was never meant to do. I'm exploring homebrew scenes, preservation efforts and open source projects because I still want to find the joy that was in silly gadgets before the corporations decided everything will be a paid subscription, AI driven and trapped inside their walled garden. And I want to do it my way. No company sponsorship, No paid reviews or chasing trends and absolutely no in-video ads. I just wanna make fun videos around my hobby and I'm not about to let it be scripted or censored by some tech execs. Hopefully along the way some can learn from my projects, keep tech out of the landfill, reclaim ownership and find cheaper alternatives to the things being made today. We don't need to buy the newest thing when there's tech that already exists, why not breathe new life into it. So watch along if you'd like as I make my way across the ewasteland.
