21st Century BGM - UPDATED (Patreon)
Content
Just a quick and rather uninspiring video today. I’m probably not supposed to say that, but it’s true.
A bit of background…
You may recall in the past how I’ve mentioned that January is guaranteed to be a flop on YouTube. It’s the same with many other lines of work, you wouldn’t want to be running a restaurant in January either.
The annual drop-off in revenue has in the past come as a shock to some YouTubers who decided to quit their real job based on their YouTube income over the last few months of a year only to be slapped in the face by the cold reality of January's revenue.
The reason I mention this is because seasoned YouTubers may sometimes reduce their output in January or perhaps just take the whole month off as a holiday. However I think it’s a good time to try out some video ideas that have a high probability of being unsuccessful. There’s little to lose in January, since you’ve already lost. It’s like the Kobayashi Maru.
So with all that in mind, when you’ve got something languishing in a box that might only make a mediocre video, January is the best month to open that box and find out. I opened the box.
Anyway that’s it for now, I hope you’re doing well. Take care.
UPDATE
I’ve now managed to re-jig the video into a state that should be releasable.
Two things helped to save it. The first was the input from Chris with information about how these systems worked. The second thing was I discovered my VGA to HDMI adaptor wasn’t working. Trying the Ebox on a VGA monitor revealed its video output. This then enabled me to add some more blather regarding the small PC. There are no bombshells, the headline is that it is running linux, which I think everyone assumed. I also opened up the case to show that it contains a circuit board with stuff on it.
The new version is now the one embedded and linked above.
