Artexic (pronounced our-tex-ic by the way!) is a quirky mix of Technology, IT Security and Life hacks.
I make videos about things I'm passionate about: IT (usually Windows and Linux PC guides), IT Security, car maintenance guides (recorded as I fix elements of my aging car), and general how-to guides.
I've spent my career working in IT for medium-sized and global organisations. I manage and advise IT teams during the day, so this channel is bound to have a technology focus to it.
I'm always open to ideas on guides people would find useful... after all, Artexic is all about simple guides.

Baseus Super Mini Inflator Pump - Air compressor 3-month review
Review of the Baseus Super Mini Inflator Pump. This is a small and great value air compressor for car tires, bicycle tires and even basket balls etc.
I've had mine for 3-months now, using it across family vehicles, so wanted to share a review on this, so anyone looking at options to purchase can see how it works.
I show the box contents, operation of the compressor options, and we pump up a tire too. It's a small, portable air compressor that works equally well on cars as it does motorcycles and bicycles.
I bought mine on AliExpress for about £20 ($25) including shipping at the end of 2023.

Quick fabric repair with interfacing fusible fabric (iron-on) - Repairing hole in pocket
zhlédnutí 36KPřed 6 lety
Interfacing fusible fabric (or "iron-on fabric" as most of us probably think of it), is a really quick way that anyone can repair a hole in fabric with just an iron. The fusible interfacing fabric has glue on one side which melts easily with an iron, bonding it to any other fabric. In this video I repair a large hole in some trousers with a medium weight iron-on interfacing fusible fabric. You ...

This morningI knew nothing about the inner workings of toilets, your video has done a fantastic job of educating me and I was able to change out the fill valve by myself. You have saved me from needing to find a plumber and increased my DIY confidence. Thank you:)
nice video!!
Thank you! Well said, well demonstrated.
Wonderful I was following step by step...turns out just cleaning off the gunk and limescale from the rubber washer done the trick. Thank you so much
Are the bulbs H7 or H4?
Great video although no chance of getting the seal out on the valve due to the clips holding the plate in. Tried a screwdriver to open them but all need to open all of them to take the top plate off to replace the seal which is impossible.
I wanted to pump 2.6 bars, but it pumped 3.1, that's very weird. Not a good experience.
Thanks a lot. Quite helpful.
Thank you for showing
Great content. Helped me solve a leaking flush valve issue
You forgot to tell & show us how to turn the water off first, thanks though
🤜
A very good detailed video, thank you.
Thanks!
Is the water in the cistern clean? Or gloves recommended I'm aure its clean for cleaning the toilet but would it be sfer to wear gloves?
Thank you so much. Your video was the only one that looks almost like my flush. I got it fixed. Thank you
Great help thank you so much 🎉
Hi, would the rotating brush not work on the ground bricks instead of the lance?
Could you just take the ballcock and end off and just replace the diaphragm?
Having exact same issue took apart and found washer has disinterested! Can’t find one anywhere to replace to having to buy a full mechanism. Thankyou for the really helpful step by step video
Is the gauge accurate?
ScrewFix part number 604FY. Thanks for the vid, I'll give this a try tomorrow
Thanks! The system shown didn't match my system exactly (mine seems a bit older) but the premise was still the same and following your instructions helped greatly!
Excellent
why the hell plumbers charge so money especially when parts do not cost so much
Very helpful… how do you find a replacement fill value that’s suitable for your toilet?
Thanks for review!
excellent advice thanks
Thank you SO much for your vid! I’ve just fixed my constantly filling toilet (slightly different to yours but same principle) by getting that little washer out of the fill valve, washing it with soap and warm water and re-installing it. Bingo! Thanks again 🙏
Thankyou!!

I’m so annoyed as mine is a pain it has a system o can’t see here n it has been leaking none stop it has two floating balls n the flush valve n middle bit I hate the noise
it is helpful
Didn't work thanks kids crying
Putting it back in sucks balls.
Thank you. Helps to solve my problem.
Thank you for your help.
Excellent ! Thank you so much ! 🙂🙂👍
Great video, so well explained. Had the local water supplier out for a faulty valve at the supply and our toilet inlet pulled a load of grit. Constant overflowing. Took the top off the inlet and cleaned all the grit out of the diaphragm and inside washer. Now as good as new. Thank you sir 🙏🏻
Mil gracias , una hora buscando este video
Any suggestions as to why my cistern works perfectly for two or three flushes, and then on the next flush continues to run, but the 'overrrun' usually stops if I take off the cistern lid and tug on the remote cable thing?
Fantastic video, one of the best I've seen. I have the exact same system, so do you have a link for a recommended replacement?
Your video will help me fix my toilet. I appreciate it thank you.
Your video is still proving useful, thanks.
Great video. Can anyone tell me the part number/name so that I order the correct part?
🗨️😭
You are GOLDEN! Thanks for posting!!!
Great video! Just saved me at least £30 on a new valve. Grit stuck in the inlet but I was not sure how to get it apart. 10 minutes and problem solved.
Clear, concise instructions. Excellent video - leak solved! Thanks
Have just fully asserted my dominance over a toilet that was running on. Thank you for the helpful video. Your explanation of how the system worked as opposed to how proprietary parts worked was really useful. Have a good weekend.
