content: Hi Dave,as you approach the #1000 video on YouTube, what you think about an epic video for this anniversary number?I don't know, some special review or some special project ... I don't know what ... maybe you have already something in your mind ... Anyway! Something with the way just you can give us ...

content: The #1000 video should be something EEVblog is famous for. So the first thing that came to my mind was: Do an epic teardown. But that is probably impossible, because it is either too expensive or needs a lot of preparation.I would also find it interesting going back to the early days of EEVblog. Maybe repeat something from one of the first videos, but in a more epic way, because now you have more time and more equipment you can use.Maybe a live video, like the first one?

content: Quote from: wilfred on May 10, 2017, 12:11:13 amI'll give you a pass, and if Dave had the same reasoning, him too because neither of you live in the US, but nobody gives a shit about the number 666 here. Nobody would lose their minds, and nobody would really care. If anything it would be a joke, and people would have a laugh.I agree with the consensus that Americans are fat, gun-slinging idiots, but give us some credit, we aren't gonna go nuts over a stupid number.

Maybe do it live with some help so people can ask questions during the review. At the end of the review, announce it's release and be ready to take orders.

content: Quote from: hamster_nz on May 10, 2017, 02:45:49 amThe original statement said that religious people in the US would get pissed over the number 666. The fact of the matter is that nobody gets pissed or even upset at the number 13 unless their brain looks like that century egg Ashens ate. The fact that we don't have 13th floors on most buildings is more tradition than anything else. If someone built a tower with a 13th floor almost anywhere in the US, nobody would notice, never mind care.Americans don't get upset over numbers, and saying that excluding the number 13 from floor numbering is getting upset over it is just not true.But as an idea for a 1000th video, how about you do a compilation of the weirdest, and funniest forum posts on this forum? There's got to be some good stuff here.

content: I don't know about #1000. Your work content is mostly improvised and bob-and-weave through whatever fell in your lap. Planning a structure based video is bound to be a let down.Just don't let it be a debunking episode, those I don't care for much.

Maybe the history of a prime piece of electronic technology.EG, history of the voltmeter, or oscilloscope, or transistor.

The thing I like about Dave's videos is that for the most part they're informative and productive. There are already too many videos of knuckle draggers just breaking and blowing stuff up on youtube.

content: Quote from: Red Squirrel on May 09, 2017, 03:08:37 pmThis thread has no fourth band so it could be as high as 20%. Take 1 second of each video spliced together to make 1000 seconds long video. How many hard drives is needed to store 1000 videos? I imagine its more then a couple. But then again didn't he buy a huge amount of them insanely cheap at that electronics store?Take 1000$ of ad revenue money and burn it on camera saying "Im rich bitch!".

content: Quote from: wilfred on May 10, 2017, 12:11:13 amWhy the hell (pun intended) do people always jump to the most convoluted explanations for things?#666 was reserved for a video that I was hoping would happen, but didn't, for reasons outside of my control. I'm still hoping it will happen one day, it requires access to a very difficult to obtain bit of kit.What it was reserved for has been explained in the supporters section somewhere I'm sure.#741 was reserved for a 741 opamp video that required considerable time and effort. David2 was working on it at the time but other things got in the way for both of us.IIRC we thought it would come out the week following so just skipped it for a little while, and, well, you know what happened...
