    I am teaching adult autists in IT-technics here in Vejle, Denmark. One of my students is dyslexic. He cannot read or write very good. Thanks to yours, and many other tutorials here on youtube, I am able to lead him through his education. He will one day become a highly skilled, and well paid IT-supporter - in spite of his two major challenges. I just want you to know, that thanks to your graphical way of producing these videos my guy is learning on the same level as his normal-reading classmates. You are making a difference.

      could you make a video about single, dual and quad channel?
      Could you also mention what slot is better in a dual channel platform?
      For example is it better to stick (dual channel) memory in A1+B1 slot or A2+B2 or A1+A2 or B1+B2 or A1+B2 or A2+B1 or any other thing?

    You are the authority of IT teaching. Please make a video every day. Your videos are about your content, not yourself, which many other tutorial videos lack. Many CZcamsrs waste time trying to be funny/quirky for their audience instead of just delivering straight to the point fluent, easy-to-understand education like your videos give.

    I came here on CZcams looking for an explanation for defragmentation but I sincerely was expecting a hard time understanding it, since i don't have any background in computer science, but this video was so delightfully made it's just so easy to grasp the idea. The animations are really amazing and help channel the ideas more accurately.
    Rarely when I leave a comment, or I feel compelled to put a like or a subscribe, but you definitely deserve it :)
    One of the best channels out there, so glad I found it.

    This is why I always put the OS on a seperate drive, defrag it and never install software on it.
    It really does make a difference, especially on older devices.
    Smart defrag is a wonderful piece of software. You can use it free, or pay to get additional features (you really won't need them if you only want to defrag)
    Wonderfully put together video. Nice animations too.

    • @Teixas666
      @Teixas666 Před rokem

      modern file systems(which most OS's not implement) got a lot better at avoiding fragemtnation tho ot the point where only really old drives or drives that see a LOT of file movement evne require them(and when they do the OS can handle the job on the fly when it determines it has spare time to do so.)

    To the author of this video; great explanation of the architecture in operation of an HHD. I would ask that you look up the definition for “close” & “proximity”. When you use “close” you don’t need to use “proximity” right behind it. That is called redundancy. Just as somebody might use a foolish term like “tiny little”.
