Of course, my 9yo son is happy to spend all his time supporting other kids just playing games on YT. Just doesn't seem like am ambitious career goal, or one which benefits others much. It's a bit like reality TV in that way. :)

    Pete Brown I would agree to a point. But people in the early 20th century probably didn't want their children to be actors for the same reason. If you want to get into KZread to make easy money it's probably a bad idea. If you want to get into it to create good content and evolve the youtube scene to be more legitimate, then go for it.

You do receive quite a bit of mail and it can be discouraging to those who want to send you stuff when they see that you may never get around to opening it. Your videos have changed my life for the better. I went back to school for electronics engineering because you re-ignited my passion. I'd like to thank you one day and send you a token of gratitude (not sure what that will be yet). I hope you do end up opening all your parcels eventually.

    +EEVblog ----About the IGBT's...... The thermal modeling is usually done in programs such as Energy 2D and sometimes in Auto-cad. The way they do thermal modeling for the IGBTs is that they set a field specified temperature onto the IGBT in the modeling program. The modeling program then takes the temperatures and shows where heat flows best(through the flow of least resistance). From these models, the thermal engineers keep changing the shape of the component and the size of the heat sink in correlation to the thermal resistances shown in the modeling program.

    For the network tester, the serial port is probably for connecting to a switch or a router and you can get diagnostic and configuration information out of them without connecting to the console port which is DB-9 (on the router/switch) to RJ45 but with a non-standard pinout for Cisco devices. Cisco and other manufactures have a protocol that let's you get the same information via the network and without Telnet so you don't need to use that port. I'm surprised it doesn't have a BNC connector since even new ones still have them.

    Pleos are cool. The skin on ours has deteriorated, but he still works. The battery pack is 6xAA NiMh, but later versions used a LiPo pack which was compatible but used a different charger. Ours likes dancing to music and eating his leaf. He also likes being stroked and tickled under the chin. When he goes to sleep it is usually because the battery pack is getting low. I know this is a comment on an old post, but I saw the pleo on a shelf behind you on a recent video and was curious, so I searched for it. :)

    Ryan Tillotson I'll add some personal advice, read the letters to the viewer, not yourself. A lot of the letter reading came off as mumbling, and it sorta... disconnects you from the viewer. Always remember that the viewer is the focus of any video you create. The video exists to entertain or inform, and if you have moments where you do neither, it detracts. I think you can make a great improvement there. Of course, through the magic of camera editing and or retapeing the boxes, you could also theoretically pre open all the boxes, read the letters, and have cheat cards with the basic details, or do a camera cut as you skim, and edit in where you jump right tot he points. That lets you skim the letters in advance, so you can jump directly to the juicy bits, and still maintain a nice continuous shot!

There was also a version of Doom published on the SNES/Famicom but Id didn't do that version, a third party approached Id with a finished version of Doom for SNES and asked them if they would allowed them to release it (which they did).

    Beyond popular belief this young lad is gaining work experience for a job in media, his target goal is becoming a youtuber but people seem to assume he isn't going to get any qualifications. You're all rather narrow minded if you think he isn't going to further his education whilst becoming a youtuber, and on top of it all the experience he is gaining here would be useful elsewhere in media. It's not like he is permanently stuck being a youtuber, his career options may change. Jealousy runs deep in this chat, you guys need step step back and have a bit of cheese with that whine.

I thought he did a bang on job for appearing on youtube the first time (assumed). We all had dreams when we were his age and so long as he works hard, whether or not he meets them or not isnt for us judge. Good luck son.

    Timothy Giles I HAVE attempted to start something on youtube a couple of times, but each time, something would happen, so i would stop and try to think about a different direction to go. I have a bit of experience with Dave's On-The-Fly style because i did improv lessons at my old school. Interesting, huh?

    Timothy Giles Totally agree. If you go back and look at Dave's first video number1. You'll see he was no less nervous etc. In fact I would say that this kids first video is better than Dave's first one. Also he was dropped right in the deep end, as he has little knowledge on electronics so it was much harder for him. I think he has the perfect personality for this, once he has done a few to give him time to relax into it. He will be very good I am convinced, on that first showing.

    i don't think that it's a good idea to aim for a KZread career. Here in Germany you have to do do Work experience in a job there you can do an apprentice. It saves the young girls and guys from such things as hoping for a KZreadcareer, not that it is a bad job but, you know. if it fails, what you write in your resume? Maybe he should go to a "media" company or such thing.

    EEVblog​ I didnt meant it like its bad for him to work for you. I meant that he better gets a secure apprentice and not be sittin on it self. He may learn with time the special things, but why do a faceplant twice if you have a "mentor" or a "Ausbilder" as we say here in Germany who knows all this stuff and can tell you this stuff. It's also cool that he is interrested in this stuff, not everyone has to be plumber or whatever. But it is better not to set false hopes.

    Matthias Damasty Last but not least: The apprentice gives out a formal educational degree which - for the better or worse - implies a certain (minimum) skill set, work experience and formal education. A resume as "youtuber" can trigger the "special snowflake filter" in the head of human resources. I mean: It is an other question if someone wants to be a company worker drone or an creative individual, but... A company worker drone can pay the bills and become an creative individual over time. The other way around is much harder. No offence - youtube is just a hard business and google not really a partner to its content producers.

    Matthias Damasty I second a lot of the comments here Matthias. I think he has made a wise choice to seek experience at a place where he will actually get some, in a field he has a genuine interest in. My niece just finished a block of 4 weeks here for a large hotel, and essentially she was used as free labor. She spent 4 days polishing spoons, and another 4 vacuuming, hardly an 'experience ' in the hotel industry. Good to see some ambition in creating a job for himself rather than conforming to a role that wont make him happy. In my experience those who dont have University degree or a Trade, working for themselves in 'Highly Skilled' roles are generally better at it for the passion / interest they actually have. How many accountants do you know that rave about their job?
