Video

I can't believe it took me so many years to wonder wtf these noises meant 😂

It feels like this video was edited on the EDSAC, which gives it its own retro charm. Solid content.

I didn’t even grow up on this and this sound plays in my head when I’m confused

I believe you taught me how to make codes back then

Autism has entered the chat

awesome description thanks

I come back to this video regularly

this video is not only super useful and interesting, but well edited and hilarious. not sure if you're still active, but i'm definitely subbing!

....i used to connect my laptop to the dial up internet and phone line all the time

i feel like the newer generations of kids are gonna feel like were pulling their legs when we tell them that dial up internet REALLY sounded like the computer was dialing up a phone lol. so what i always figure happened was the computer dials up the phone number of the internet and then screams into the line being like hurry up i wanna go online and check my mail lmfao

If I were to remake this video, I’d compare what they added each time the new standard added something. Big leaps to get to 1200, later 9600, later 28800, finally 56000-sorta. Some of the sounds in this video didn’t exist early on, but they could still switch speeds. So I wonder if some of them changed purpose or were slightly incorrect.

Oh hey, Fire & Ice OST good taste

I have no idea why I just watched this, but thanks! Good info I'll never use ever again.

"Get off the internet I need to make a phone call" The good times...

disliked for the jumpscare u fuckin dick

thank you

8:36 I ❤ Kirby’s Adventure! :-

9:14 Question: Why would you want to use the 6 digit version vs. the 8 digit version - or vice versa - the 8 digit version over the 6 digit version? Thanks!

If I remember correctly, you could turn off these sounds so the modems would negotiate in silence. But the default was ‘sound on’, like the beep on computer startup. Probably to assure people of what was happening.

This is the second time a nostalgia element has been explained to me and im really interested in this topic now. I think the communication process is so funny.

The big question i have is why these sounds were made audible to us? 🤔

dude has the real acktually voice

My first internet connection was to an acct at a CSU. I believed my little box was connecting to a big giant whopper style machine....and then I got invited in and got the tour. It was a little box with less capability than mine with less memory and a smaller HDD but the physical size of a small refrigerator and a very old bastardized version of AT&T SYS V UNIX but it had a totally badass network connected to it. Talk about disillusioned.

Isn't it possible that the 12 numbers thing isn't actually telling you the recording was a call to/from china/finland but that it just included the country code for the US? a standard US phone number is 10 numbers, so if it had to also add "+" and "1" for +1 (the country code for the United States of America)

I wonder if we would be able to somehow hear Ethernet despite its digital nature

Thanks mate that was exactly what I was looking for and your video was the first thing I clicked on. Champion.

This has given me the most information about how modems work out of every video that I’ve watched

Appreciate the breakdown of the sounds... nut my real question is, WHY do we hear them anyways!? Why wasn't it silent. Why did it play though the speaker.. or was the sound even coming from the speakers? Still have questions

damn. the sponsorblock highlight feature has been super useful as of late

🤓

Yeah but why does it have to play all of these sounds out loud? That is the real question here.

This is an awesome and informative video and I enjoyed it, but also you *really* sound like the 🤓emoji

Fantastic video. These are teen memories

So I learned from the video that V8 have something to do with modems

6:42 afaik that part at the left is determined by the client modem and repeated back as-is by the isp modem. something to do with phone lines being digitally compressed at the time iirc

I instantly love all this

Me writting M0 at the modem parameters of my Win98 SE to disable this sound (without volume control) at 2:00 AM.

This is so cool, it’s machines saying what up homie

And then the computer says "knock knock" **doof doof** (front door)

Its because we have to connect to the secret alien mothership that carries the majority of our civilization and where all our data is kept

I barely understood what has happening and yet this video was entertaining and I managed to still “understand” it WELL DONE🎉❤

The "random data" has to be the most shitposting-like sound I've ever heard in my life lol

But ehy did it make noise literally at all??

İt's fantastic to hear computers "talk"

One does not simply yell into the microphone.

Wow, interesting video. I love this kind of videos.

Also, it's using phone lines and not dedicated internet lines like we now do, so that's why it uses sound and not just a binary signal

Amaizing beat bro keep it up!!! i love it.

Work on your articulation. You slur a lot.

undertale fangames with gaster usually use this alot
