a YouTube thumbnail featuring the ASUS Eee Keyboard PC on top of the Windows XP "Bliss" wallpaper, with the Windows XP logo next to it. Also on screen is the Eee PC logo.
New video! Back in 2010, ASUS launched the Eee Keyboard PC - an entire computer housed in a keyboard, screen included! It's one of the strangest computer designs that I've seen in a while, and today we're gonna mess around with it.

Here's some (potentially) lost media for you! A viewer recently uploaded this video of the employee party that Microsoft held during XP's launch. It mostly features short interviews with some of the developers, but there's also clips of people on stage speaking.

New video! So a lot of you probably saw this one coming, but today we're gonna be checking out Windows 10 LTSC! This specialized release of the OS will be supported by Microsoft until 2032. And turns out, there's a pretty easy way to upgrade to it.

a YouTube thumbnail featuring a modified screenshot of the AOL Dialer program. On it is the old "Connecting" screen from '90s-era AOL clients, with the modern AOL logo at the top. To the left is an image of an AOL CD, with text on it that reads "RIP"
New video! Today marks the end of AOL Dial-Up. Because after over 30 years, the service is being retired. So I thought I'd try to dial into the service one last time before we say goodbye.

a YouTube thumbnail featuring the Windows NT 4 and XP logos, along with the logon screen from each version. In between them is a red arrow.
New video! So it's somehow possible to upgrade from Windows NT 3.51 directly to Windows XP - without going through NT 4 or 2000. And in today's video, we're gonna try it out and see if it works!

a YouTube thumbnail featuring 2 Windows 10 logos with a red arrow between them, on top of an image of the Start Menu. At the top is text that reads "10 Upgrade Saga"
New video! It's about time we did another Windows Upgrade Saga video. And with Windows 10 going out of support next month, I couldn't think of a more proper send off than to spend several hours upgrading through every version of it!

New video! So today we're gonna find out if the 1st gen Intel Compute Stick can run Windows 11. It doesn't seem like it... but it's worth a try, right?

a YouTube thumbnail featuring the Microsoft Zune, along with the Zune Logo to the right side. On the Zune's screen is the home screen from version 1.0 of the software.
New video! Today we're taking a deep dive into the Microsoft Zune. What was supposed to be Microsoft's answer to the iPod ended up being a failure of a product that people love to point and laugh at today. But was it really that bad?
