Tech that DIDN'T let me down.

[confusioned]

The problem with good tech isn't that it's rare, it's that when it works flawlessly you eventually forget it's even there

enshittification is SO present that this is more useful to me than videos showing something is bad. Bad is the baseline, Quality is the outlier sad as it is, and this really helps with shifting through all the manufactured landfill! 💖

Valve, they make absolutely amazing products twice then fall asleep for years then do it again

0:50 Valve asks people not to smell the exhaust of the steam deck

so nice to hear that 5 of the hundreds of tech stuff didn't fail you

3:33 I'm surprised that James didn't tell you, but you have to change the reductor oil and diff oil at some point.
Idk if the Leaf has any water cooling, but also the cooling liquid needs to be changed in EVs that have it.

The OG Leaf needs to have the oil changed, even though there isn't a well defined interval, oil should be changed every 50-100k km. These "gearboxes" tend to go bad in about 8 years if driven a lot without the oil changed. It just loses its properties from the heat cycling. People are saying that at 100k km the oil is already black and full of metallic sparkles.

Also, the official interval for coolant is 200k km. That's straight from Nissan. It's in the Leaf's service manual.

Just don't mess up your Leaf because of some uninformed decision.

Dankpods is the YouTuber that hasn't let me down

The Deck OLED being the thumbnail puts a smile on my face. Valve seriously start selling it in Australia. You need to expand the handheld to more regions already.

Tech that hasn't let you down... yet

7:38 I found one in a dumpster. Still works fine

[BigManFred]

Why is an australian man talking about random things so entertaining

[DarkStar-nwee]

4:22 Is that a bad thing? I love the vroom vroom sounds! It even used to be a heated seat before the doctor's orders.

I'm so glad a positive video finally came out. I'm so tired of the gloom and doom. I want things to go right for a bit

[Beegstation]

4:39 "I do have an M3" A BMW???

[GridDweller]

also idk if it's just tesla cars, but I do think electric cars have oil in the motor for lubrication and heat management, so it does need to be changed. If the leaf doesn't have it, then, boy do I look stupid

[MemekeyCubes]

I love the Shrek watch! I got one years ago from a thrift store and I still have it somewhere. I should find it.

The Dank Pods Linux arc is something I didn't know I needed, but I'm so here for it. Welcome to the club brother

[Voxfan]

6:00 there is a Linux distro for these M-series Mac’s, take a look at Asahi Linux

Literally the only reason I don’t have an electric vehicle is that I actually need to travel like, 1000 miles in a couple days occasionally. If there was a battery that could last that long or charging stations were more common (especially in the Mojave here in the states…) I’d go for one in a second. Also I like being able to move house in like, 3 trips with my current car. It’s so nice.

I liked how you showed a little bit of the road when you launched the leaf… it gave me a better feel for the acceleration than just a speedometer. Just mentioned because I’m considering buying
