    Hi H3vtux, your videos are interesting and smoothly provide information about whatever you're talking about which is why i like your videos so much. I think your next video should be about how IP's work. I saw in your "How the internet works" video you briefly went over it but i feel that there is much more to it (for example the different classes and how bits join into those classes). I feel that if you make this video it will also answer allot of peoples questions. Thanks for the quality content.

    that's so fascinating! i thought it scanned for ripples, dents or marks on the surface it was on with lasers of some kind and made a kind of 3d map of the surface and as you moved it would see and copy the movement with the mouse cursor. as a kid though i thought that using a mouse with squared paper under it would work better (cus ya know it's marked all over with squares and would make tracking easier) but it made it worse. i only realised now, years later, that it made it worse because the paper was a perfect grid and it made it harder for the mouse to make precise calculations of each movement. xD thank you for explaining btw! you're very good at it.

    Excellent video, thanks for that. Joe Satriani was one of my main music influences growing up, so it's cool to see you have made videos about his music. It would be really good if you could explain wireless signals and, in particular, what the signal really is. For example, is it micro sound-waves (airwaves), electrical magnetic flux, or something completely different. Along with this, it would be interesting to know how airwaves work in radio signals. For example, if two radio stations transmitted the same song at exactly the same time, what would be the difference between the signal data streaming across each frequency band - how is each band separated yet still able to transmit the same information/song. - How do wireless, and radio, signals go through walls? - Does the frequency of a wireless transmission get lower in pitch/frequency the further it travels (like audio waves do)? - How does sound/audio go through walls, and why does a sound get muffled when going through walls? - Do wireless signal transmissions get muffled when going through walls? If so, how does the receiver deal with muffled signals? - Are wireless signals affected by wind? - Does light have any effect on wireless signals? - If I receive a photo over a wireless signal, how is the information in the photo converted to frequency waves, making it able to be transmitted/sent? - Is 'binary' used in wireless data transmission? - Is it possible to create a space which is shielded from all wireless signals? Thanks.

    I absolutely love Satriani. One of my favorite musicians bar none. These are very simplified answers to the questions -Q:How do wireless, and radio, signals go through walls? -A:The particles that make up radio waves/wifi have a specific wavelength and frequency. Different materials with different atoms in them will absorb different wavelengths of radiation. A wall of plaster blocks visible light but a window lets some light through, human skin doesn't block X-Rays but bones do. Wifi and radio of a very low frequency and long wavelength that most things don't block/reflect. The particles are so small and low energy they essentially moving "inbetween" the atoms in your wall. That's really simplified but more or less what's happening. -Q: Does the frequency of a wireless transmission get lower in pitch/frequency the further it travels (like audio waves do)? -A: - Technically yes but it's not an issue when where dealing with distances on the earth alone. Longer wavelength/lower frequency of a wave the less this happens and radio/wifi are very low. Communication to pluto would be affected by this. -Q: Are wireless signals effeted by wind? -A: Technically a very very tiny amount but not to the point where it would impact the contents of the waves. Radiation doesn't travel through a physical medium (air particals) so those particals moving won't effect it the way it effects smells, thermal heat, or even sound. I think there is a tiny tiny impact do to light refraction caused by wind but even the fastests winds on earth won't be enough to impact radiation waves significantly. -Q: Do wireless signal transmissions get muffled when going through walls? If so, how does the receiver deal with muffled signals? -A: It depends on what the wall is made of but no, for the reason explained in question 1. -Q: Does light have any effect on wireless signals? -A: Light and radio/wifi are actually all the same thing, waves of particles. What differentiates them is their wavelength. Our eyes are designed to pick up a small part of the wavelength known as the "visual spectrum", radio and wifi are much much longer wavelength than that. There might technically be some minor effect but none that would really effect radio signals in the way we use them. -Q: If I receive a photo over a wireless signal, how is the information in the photo converted to frequency waves, making it able to be transmitted/sent? -A: You take a piece of conductive metal with an alternating current of electricity bouncing back and forth. When you apply another current of AC electrcity it generates electromagnetic waves from that piece of metal based on the frequency of how fast they bounc back and fourth. -Q: Is 'binary' used in wireless data transmission? -A: Yes -Q: Is it possible to create a space which is shielded from all wireless signals? -A: Yes, going back to question 1 some materials have molecular compositions that will reflect particlse in the wavelengths of radio/wifi. Aluminum is one of the more commonly used ones.

    @@H3Vtux My fav Satriani tune is 'Flying in a Blue Dream'. It has such a good feel to it. Satch and Vai are incredibly creative with their melodies, and their use of the Lydian mode is what caused me to really take notice of them early on in my life. I owned an Ibanez Jem at one stage, but had to sell it to pay education fees - I had that guitar physically signed by Vai when I met him back in the 1990s. Thanks for your answers, it certainly clears that up for me. Perhaps one of the most surprising things for me was that electromagnetic waves are made up from physical particles. I was expecting electromagnetic waves to be a less-physical phenomena. Does the force of 'magnetism' also consist of particles (sorry to ask yet another question)?

    @@beachforestmountain4269 So partical physics is REALLY confusing but as far as I understand even though particals exist in the "physical world" they aren't really a physical thing. It's really confusing. I don't think I could even name my top 50 satriani songs. Always With Me, Surfing, Redshift Riders, Up in the Sky, Searching, It's so Good, secret prayer, mindstorm, hill groove, with jupiter in mind, one robot's dream, fyling in a blue dream.... I just love every album. The use of lydian mode is really what sets him apart especially on that album.

    ​@@H3Vtux Wow - it makes me think that the fabric of reality is abstract, much like how an 'idea' is abstract. It's like how the physical action of 'thinking' is first derived from the abstract BEING of idea (e.g human-BEING). One is 'doing' (physical), and the other is 'being' (abstract). It's as though the 'physical' is derived from the abstract. The word "PHYSICAL" is very close to the word "PSYCHICAL" - they are even strong anagrams of each other. It's very fascinating. Regarding the Lydian mode - it really surprised me when I found out that "The Simpsons" theme song is in Lydian. It made me realize that the way Satch and Vai phrase their melodies is signature in and of itself. The phrasing combined with the intervals used, in the melodies, is what really sets them apart from everyone else in terms of the deepness of the feel of the music. It's extremely dissonant, yet extremely melodic at the same time. It's as though the dissonance is also the resolve - it's as though THE QUESTION IS ALSO THE ANSWER, in their music! It's very intriguing, and possibly even alien. I guess that's why Satch has "Surfing with the ALIEN", and Vai has "ALIEN Love Secrets" as album titles. Funny that!

    for the v4 I think it would be really cool if you guys put a Bluetooth chip inside the thumb mouse for wireless connectivity to the pad and then magnetized the sides of the thumb mouse and put a magnetic storage space in the grip of the controller for storage. Not sure on the feasibility, but it would be really dope if it didn't cause much of any input delay.

    Hi Thanks for this video, however this not new for me. I come here looking for how the computer manage to draw that mouse cursor on the screen without interfering with the existing content. Normally the screen uses a refresh rate about 60hz, this keep the images in a visible form even if we change the displayed image so the pixels won't over lap on top of each other and create a messy image. However that mouse cursor never leaves trails behind (I'm not referring to Windows mouse trail option) it get refreshed quickly and never interfere with the existing image. You mentioned the Kernel that take care of the mouse I.O and keep it alive all the time. However this do not explain how the mouse cursor is drawn on the display and how it get refreshed at every movement. So far you are the only one who mentioned KERNEL in your explanation, thanks for showing this direction. Around 30 years ago I use to program with Turbo Pascal executed in MS-DOS, I made a program who help to test logical gates combination and save you time from soldering this 7400N.... or similar logical ships. This program used a graphical interface and involve moving the Gates around. So I come with the idea to use the mouse to ease the process instead of the keyboard, however that was a bit of pain, because I need to refresh that mouse in Pascal program itself and not natively as windows does nowadays. First need to draw the mouse box cursor then when it moves I need to erase the previous box cursor and draw it again, then repeat this all time in a multitasking so the initial program could run when the mouse could refresh continuously. It was a bit tricky. I wonder how windows do it now? Maybe a stupid question, but who cares how the cursor moves on the display, it moves when the small device called mouse moves end of story 😅

    Nice video but I knew that. I once took a look into old rubber-ball mouse and I just understood how this works seeing the two 'rollers' which were moved by the ball. I somehow managed to figure out how nowadays' mouses work too. I noticed that the more you know about the world, the easier it is to figure out how some other things work. Like drones, brushless motors, mouses, headphones, earphones and so on. As I learnt how earphones work I immediately knew how a microphone works. Still nice to see it in a summed-up video, very nice video, keep going! :)

I tried to check the cursor was moving when I inserted a pin in it, so that the images would capture in low light and less area and it did work but after removing the pin the cursor doesn't move. I guess it can't be fixed but do you have any other suggestions regarding this? POV: the led stopped glowing too

    Anyone who finds 'After Effects' either to complex, or too expensive - there is a really good alternative called "Filmora" by a company named "Wondershare". It's a very good program for intermediate-level video editing. Considering that 'After Effects' is now a subscription-only program (you can no longer buy it outright), most people doing home video editing cannot justify paying a subscription for a program they only use every now-and-then. So "Filmora" is a really good alternative and very easy to learn.

    The surface of the mousepad, even a pure black or white one, is going to have enough minor dents and such (especially when illuminated by the LED light) that your mouse can work with it. It's like looking at something under a microscope. To your mouse's it looks like satellite footage of a sand dune at sunset.
