A look at ‘The worlds smallest record player’. But is it?

I held off from looking at this device for a long time because I was worried that there just wouldn’t be enough to talk about. Turns out I couldn’t have been more wrong and its ended up making a decent video.

As usual there may be the need for re-edits before the video goes live in a week, hopefully not. However I did end up completely changing the end of the chess video after I’d gathered together a few more thoughts about it, so you never know.

Hope you’re all doing well - take care and have a good week.

A) Patrons https://www.patreon.com/techmoan usually have early access to videos. I'll show the first version of a video on Patreon and often the feedback I get results in a video going through further revisions to improve it. e.g. Fix audio issues, clarify points, add extra footage or cut extraneous things out. The video that goes live on youtube is the final version. If you want to see the videos early and before any adverts are added, you can sign up to Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/techmoan

Rhythm; Al Gore needs to improve it. This deserves way more 1st day view counts.

It seems to be doing reasonably well compared to the way things have been going for a while.

That's great. This is the sort of video that (IMO) shouldn't drop drastically in counts after the first day, fingers crossed. It made me laugh, and we all need more of that these days. I still say - you could make a damn good funny independent movie - anonymously, of course. 👍🏻

I've been so curious about the Mighty Tiny since I saw that box artwork years ago. It sounds...as I thought it would, and resurrecting the non-functional machine was so satisfying to watch, Mat!
