    Excellent to fall asleep to or use as background noise, but also genuinely interesting for when you do want to pay attention. Old infomercials, gaming challenge shows, tutorial tapes, industry news, etc.. They're hand-selected rather than picking randomly from a pool, too, so it feels more smooth and themed than a lot of similar things do. Love this shit.

    I believe this is in the rotation of the current block, but even if you don't watch this, please enjoy The Komputer Tutor: How to Avoid the 29 Biggest Computer Mistakes (1993).

      I’ve been wanting to set something up on plex for running this in the background. This is easier.

      Is there anywhere else to read where they source their clips or how they curate? Their twitch profile seems bare on mobile and google search just brings me to their twitch page.

      It’s nice to see hand curation compared to algorithm now. I get bored of the random streams generated by algorithms or votes.

          They've made it so accessible, thanks! I don't understand why Twitch's site tries to hide everything on mobile. There's even an FAQ.

    I was expecting this to be on YouTube. I have the habit of downloading long videos (bad Internet). It's cool either way.

      You can grab the YouTube links from Data's comment and download those, if you'd like.

        But those are short clips, no? It's not the same. I'll just watch on Twitch, or find a way to download from Twitch (if there is one).
