Now this is redditing. Nothing like posting a wrong answer to get the correct one. But also, some random youtuber? I’m going to need far more evidence before I throw away decades of wisdom
Somebody already pointed out technology connections is a good source and how rigorous his research is but I wanted to ask what your source was that you were referring to as decades of wisdom?
Did you mean you heard it decades ago and repeated since but it was just rumour or “common knowledge” of the time? I ask because I find your answer, and similar, frustrating. I would wager you didn’t watch the video at all since you dismissed it out of hand and are steadfastly sticking to your guns (though I could be wrong) but you don’t offer any reputable source as a counter, just that you heard it decades ago and probably repeated by many people who have no other knowledge than they heard somebody repeat the same incorrect factoid many times so it has become wisdom. Like daddy-long-legs being the most venomous spider in the world but can’t pierce human skin, or ostriches putting their heads in sand, etc etc - all made up/incorrect but repeated frequently enough and never fact checked so understood to be true or equates to decades of wisdom that people “cite”

Technology Connections isn’t just some random youtuber. It’s a guy who can make an hour-long video about a cheap fridge and make a million views in a week.
He fills a similar niche as James Hoffmann, just with general tech instead of coffee: Fussy in all the right places.
Technology Connections is the bomb.
Ha, what’s a reddit?! 😉
