This guy always looks like he just remembered a funny joke and he's about to tell you lol

[KyleAckerProductions]

I love how your channel actively pushes back against built in obsolescence and e-waste just by providing ways to upgrade tech and reuse hold hardware. Keep up the good work! Love your content!

[owmylehg]

I feel like your channel is an actual DIY channel, offering decent guides, advice, and ideas for stuff that is actually useful and actually saves time/money to do. Your channel isn't like other "DIWhy" channels, that just pump out random low quality solutions to problems that don't exist. Plus, you're helping remove e-waste and teaching people to re-use/reduce rather then just throwing it away, which is really cool.

I love this dude like he shows content that can actually be used in real life application and uses parts that are easily accessible

Can't wait till everything USB-C

One year later: new "USB-C mini" is here

[tuxwurst]

tip: at 7:13 you have not to scrape copper off the pcb. you simply could unsolder the resistor R1 and place R2 instead.

I've stayed away from the hardware side of computers for a decade or more but this bloke might just pull me back in. Subscribed.

USB C: Just buy a dongle!
Matt: No, I don't think I will.

[jt.binwylin]

Dude, i have seen just 2 of your videos yet...
You are going to be the reason I'll be dismantling all my electronics

[normalrachael]

what an incredible video. like others have said, the focus on reducing waste and keeping older tech relevant is such a refreshing perspective in today’s culture

[tigerchills]

7:04
You could have just added a solder blob between Ground and R1 after scraping the trace to V+.
Or you just remove R1 and solder it where it says R2.
That would save you the hassle of soldering this THT resistor onto the board.

Matt, I seriously love your content, and it puts a smile on my face every time I see a new upload. Whether it is giving life to old devices such is this video, or creating something from the ground up, you do so in such a fantastic way. Thank you for all the hard work you very clearly put into your videos so that those of us that are interested in trying to do these types of things, are able to, through very clear instructions. You're the best!

[madekillasam]

Don't let the multimillion dollar corporations see this

[sijustme]

Great video! For your full breakout board though, all you needed to do was change the position of the resistor in R1 to R2

[saulgarcia]

This is where you use the "I've learned something today"

[Corporatist]

11:18 This is pure diy satisfaction. So cool that the reversible design choice already paid dividends.

[josephhwang]

2 years in and we still don't have an actual product. You are always ahead of your time. Never stop creating!

[MegaManNeo]

This is really interesting.
I'm terrible at soldering but even I'd dare to try things on a 2.0 cable because soldering the wires to the corresponding traces seems comparably easy.

[FrankEdavidson]

Betcha USB D will come out the week after I finish upgrading my devices.

[realcartoongirl]

so sastifying to see that usb micro b camera turned into type c
