.... And Why I Can't Wait To Quit YouTube 

As an armchair expert on this matter, I can tell you that you've already gone above and beyond in dignifying them with this much of a courteous response.

Fran In my 71 years on this earth, I have learned that you don’t have to make an appointment to meet a horses ass. You are doing a great job, keep up the good work. I started my career in electronics in 1968. I enjoy you and your your channel. Bruce

Fran I know exactly what you should do, continue being you and awesome.

As fellow youtuber, I recognise a lot of your experiences. I am not sure though that it is a ‘youtube or generation thing’. I don’t think I have ever found a shortage of people in my working life willing to give their opinion on subjects they may know nothing about. Occasionally, there are gems in and amongst. Thanks for the channel, I often come away from your videos having learnt something, but more importantly learnt something that is of use. I also really like the style of your videos, it is distinctly off-brand in a great way.

it's not just RU-vid, this kind of person is everywhere. I have a small business where a lot of people comes by, and there is a lot of them knowing it soooo much better than I do...

RU-vid is slowly digging its own grave, they do nothing at all to stop the trolls, yet they spend all their time demonetising and warning, striking and removing content from so many amazing creators around the world for really stupid reasons. Stay strong, try to ignore the arseholes, Hopefully RU-vid will see where their going wrong before it's too late, Take care Fran.

Don't listen to those arrogant, delusional, disinformed fools, Fran! We love you and appreciate all the great knowledge you share with us! Keep up the fantastic work!

Love your channel, Fran! Back in '79 I was in electronics lab in high school. It was the last year of teaching for my very senior instructor, and when it was time to pick my project I chose an old, dusty box that had the parts for a five tube, A. M. radio. My teacher was so happy with my choice. He said it had sat there for years. Everyone picked transistor projects. I still have it and I'm glad I made his day. Keep on doing you!

Fran, with all the bots, trolls and disinformation about, you are a beacon of facts and truth. You are well spoken and honest. Keep you, you. Your old films are awesome. Thanks.

Hey there! Just wanted to throw my support in with the rest. I’m a long time fan of the content you make, including the rants! I’m a 3D artist and it’s hard not to see some parallels between the artiverse and what’s going on here: in art there is always a huge asymmetry between the minority of people who dedicate their lives to the craft and put in the work, and the majority who take the easy route and become critics (and further, try to tear down those who create; crab kettle mentality) Although you’re an engineer, I also consider you to be an artist pouring your soul into these projects and videos, and it sucks to see you are being harassed for it. Don’t let us commenters destroy your love for what you do! Much respect!!

"Franting"! Love it. Please don't stop franting. I've worked in tech support for 20 years and I can tell you that regular people are horribly annoying. In a way, you can assume that if you are annoying them, you are doing a good job.

You're a breath of fresh air Fran. It's good to have you around :-)

I really wish these social networks would all just go open source and allow devs to just patch up issues that may come up with people trying to scam the system. Would probably give us so many better features instantly!

When Fran stated that transvestite is a slur, I thought "is it a slur, I don't remember it being a slur". I then realized that I hadn't really thought about or heard the term in a while so things might have changed, so I did some research and found that, yes, it is now considered a slur. It may have been considered a slur for a long time, and i just wasn't aware of it. My point is that, when I heard something that contradicted what I thought I knew, I realized that I might be incorrect and searched for the correct information.

I have 40 years experience in the technical television game, I think you're doing a great job.....So There!

Here's what I think you should be doing. 1) Ignore them; 2) Continue doing what you do best. Because you got a lawyer interested in electronics. That alone should make you Noble Prize material. Keep doing what you doing best. PS: I also know a bit about chemical layers of color films. Just because I like photography.

Google geniuses have about as much real knowledge as my pet rock.

As a renowned, certificated world-class authority in absolutely nothing whatsoever I'd just like to say that I pop in to get my next refreshing, brain-tickling dose of Fran a couple of times a week and am never disappointed, whether you're dissecting some glorious old tech, explaining the hell out of physics and electronics, sharing some fascinating restored film or just chewing the fat on the front porch. Sometimes you even make stuff go into my big fat head that actually stays there, and for a while there I glow with pride and feel like I just made friends with the smartest kid in school, and maybe I'm not such an idiot after all. Your never-ending enthusiasm and joy for sharing your lifetime of knowledge, insight and experience with your audience pervades every nook and cranny of this wonderful, refreshingly gimmic-free channel, and in my opinion (because I just know you're dying to know what my unsolicited opinion of your life is because I'm so damn important) everything is just Frantastic!

It's not a generational thing, it's a numbers thing. I remember in the 1990s a letter in the university newspaper by a student who told the university how to get faster internet. Most viewers are amazed by what you do. A small percentage on the low end of the Dunning-Kruger scale shoot their mouths off. Unfortunately a small percentage of a large number is still an annoying number of messages for a single creator to deal with.

Hi Fran, I personally enjoy most of your content. I've learned so many different things from you and you make me smile at my lowest times. Thankyou

Dad always taught me... No matter how good you think you are, there's always someone more skilled and better than you, never stop learning. And Fran, also that's not aimed at you, it's aimed at the arse talkers. Try not to let them get ya ya, you're doing great!

You have to not let the armchair, mom's basement dwelling, keyboard warriors uneducated wiki opinion get you. I know it's tough, but it's not like you'll edify them by engaging with them. Tell them that they are right and go about your day. It's like arguing with a 3rd grader. Keep being yourself, authenticity is a rare attribute. Keep it up, It's super easy to criticize, when I have someone being spicy I say to myself, ya, how's your channel doing? Putting together some stellar content? Haters gonna hate.

1:05 I need to know the secret of having a #1 channel! Please tell us his secret!

Fran your videos are one of my favorite things, not just on youtube, but just one of my favorite things period. your extensive knowledge on all these different subjects is so interesting. i hope people stop irritating you so you can focus more easily on doing what you love!

Yeah, I'm amazed how film has almost completely disappeared from human memory in just a generation. I still shoot with film cameras sometimes, and I come across young people who really can't understand why there isn't a screen on the back where I can show them a photo I just took.

Fran, love the channel!! So happy you restarted it and just wanted to let you know. You are not alone. I own an electronics repair shop and in the past 3 years, it has become so frustrating that I am also considering shuttering my shingle. You hit the nail on the head, the younger generations think they can watch a youtube video and are instant experts. Frustrating when someone comes to me with a circuit they have no idea the complexity, yet tell me how they want it repaired or modified without consideration of the fundamental laws of physics. Maybe it'll change, maybe it'll get worse. Hope you keep your channel. Love it!!

You know, Fran. I would wager that many of your viewers are neurodivergent (such as myself) so it is possible that these e-mails and comments are a lot more benign that they seem. All that lack of tone with online communication can be the hardest part to deal with, I think.

It's not about generational issues, it's about education. It's the Dunning Kruger effect. People with a minor amount of knowledge (from minutes of "research" online) jump up that initial ramp of "I know how this works", and never go beyond that. As you learn more, you learn how little you know about things, and your confidence on it goes DOWN as you learn, to a certain point. All this boils down to is that you learned quickly, and continued learning to the point that you know there are exceptions to every rule. Most people simply don't get that far on any topic, and even if they do? They don't apply it to the rest of the world. There are plenty of us that sympathize, and appreciate the content you make. Hang in there!

Some young people today don’t know that TV is free with an over-the-air antenna. If you tell them they think it’s some kind of hack.

Love you Fran, hang in there, I’ve been around “electrics” for 50 years and though a close friend of mine was a truly brilliant electronic engineer who blew my mind many times over, I at best can soldier my own cables and tune my guitar by ear! My friend by the way worked for ARP and was a key player in building the first 2600 way back in the day. He was actually so humble, I didn’t find out how big part he played until he passed away a few years back, no kidding but going to his workshop for me was like a kid in a candy store..love what you do Fran, keep the faith!

I watch your channel precisely because you DO know what you're doing, and your instincts and insights are solid. I've never known why ignorant asshats troll competent channels, and I wish I had a surefire suggestion about how best to ignore 'em. They're like human mosquitoes: blood-sucking, irritating, and impossible to avoid. Hang in there, Fran.

Hi Fran, I never leave comments but your "Frant" has got me worked up enough to do so.....and to leave some words of support. Most of your fans are here for your content and dont care about production quality. We are here because we share your enthusiasm for technology and learning. You are a knowledgeable, experienced, and have an eclectic set of interests which I find refreshing. Thank you for all the time you spend on this channel.

New times come with new skills. One of those skills is to ignore the dozens of self-proclaimed consultants that knock on your door every day. At least that's become my coping mechanism. I can only speak for myself here: I love your content, and I keep coming back to it.

My wife is a middle school language arts teacher, certified in our state, has a BS and MA with over 20 years teaching America's youth. You just described her daily experience with several years of classes. For some reason, this behavior is widespread. Hang tough and 'Frant' all you need to. It's a normal response and sanity balancing mechanism.

Its just a sign of the times - its usually youngsters who have no idea about life, but yet they say they know everything. Carry on being you and ignore the trolls.

RU-vid is like standing on the sidewalk downtown and asking for comments, you will get a wide range from deranged to the sublime. Always appreciated your thoughts. Thanks!

I'm from India and one of your biggest fans. Please be strong and keep going, we're with you

Fran, I have no idea how I landed on your channel but since the moment I watched one of your videos, I was hooked. Wisdom, class, expertise, communication skills, down-to-Earth genius. I would follow you into battle. They're just jealous. “The dogs are barking Quixote. A sign we move forward Sancho, a sign we move forward.” Let them bark.

I love going to your little corner of RU-vid Fran, and I love and enjoy your videos.

In the 21st century, it seems the less a person knows, the more they believe they know.

I don't understand how someone can leave a comment stating that you did something "wrong" when you clearly demonstrate successful results in your video. People forget that different isn't wrong.

Keep at it. I'm in my 50's and look forward to learning from your knowledge and experience.

I am a retired electronics engineer, I love you to banished the trolls. I have gone back to 35mm roll films, I have possibly over 100 film SLR cameras to play with and yes film and developing are expensive but even MORE fun to use. What is your favourite film camera?

As a young engineer, I learned that one mouth is no substitute for 2 ears! That gave me pause to realize that I don't have all of the answers!

We should build a platform that is too complicated for them to use. It would be like before.. when the Internet was too complicated for them to use.

Fran as a viewer and supporter for the last 6 years all I can say is you create amazing content that everyone can learn something… Keep up on being awesome, we all love Fran, Franlab and we are there for the Frants.. and I wouldn’t change a thing.

7:50 This perfectly describes the current society. We have never been so connected yet so disconnected at the same time. I admire you Fran, dont let the bastards grind you down !

Please don't quit. I'd miss you!

When someone breaks wind, hold your nose and open the window. Definitely one of the finest channels on RU-vid.

Fran. I'm a 53 year old guy who struggled through school due to a learning disability. I was always shy and insecure. But now, between RU-vid, Google, and the other modern wonders of the internet, I am learning more now than ever before! I don't know how far I could have gone had internet been a bigger thing in my school years. But, media like your RU-vid channel and others like yours have broadened my horizons markedly. You do what you do very well! Don't let idiots bring you down! Let their "expertise" roll right off your back. Keep on keeping on.

Please Fran, do not take it to heart. Surely the positive posts way outnumber the negative. It happens to all creators on technical sites. It may be easy to say but, just ignore them. Focus on all the positivity, love and appreciation, that the majority of viewers express. keep doing what you are doing and being who you are. The support, way outnumbers the BS.

I appreciate your video and like learning from you. Hope you don't quit... the more popular, the more comments...

"What is it about men..." absolutely killed me, 10/10 take. You rock Fran

Yep that's is why I retired early, too many "besserwissers" with far less experience and common sense telling me what to do all the time. I was an Electronics Tech for years here in Germany. Forget it Fran, you do you.

OMG FRAN...Your opening statement SLAPS ME IN MY FACE!!!!..I work with folks that talk to me that way & I try to defend myself with a comeback, WOW...a big ugly loop!!! UGH!!! .. Older folks seem to be wiser or have more patience than younger folks? Younger folks seem to have far more calluses on their tongue than on their hands (generally speaking). It must feel good to have a one-way podium platform that allows you now to have the last word towards those callused tongues out there, HA! THANK YOU FRAN I NEEDED THIS. ..... Fran I am much older than you. I am still dealing with this in my older age. CALLUSES, SCARS, WISDOM & PATIENCE we all acquire with time. How we handle our accumulated knowledge can only be assessed by looking back and learning ???....TM

Keep doing what you're doing! I've learned so much from you over the years. Most of these armchair engineers are just victims of the Dunning-Kruger Effect. I encounter the same thing daily in technology. I have my days where I feel really dumb - then I take a look around and realize there's a lot of other people who just faked it or skated by on dumb luck and aren't actually experts. And keep the Frants coming! :)

I have worked in the film industry, both audio and camera, for many ears and if there is one thing I have learned is it that the "simplest" problems often has the most complicated solutions. Oh, you have a blue tint on your old film... that's easy, you do just have to go through nearly all you know about films ever. Is the blue tint on the roll, glass coating, filters, electronic, the method of transfer, the gear you have transferred to, it's graphical capabilities, your screen, the lightning in your room and 1000 things more. :-) We chased a bug we had where the video quality got worse by heighten the resolution on the recording, it turned out to be the color conversion from our camera and to our new gear, it had a maximum bandwidth usage and when we turned up for the resolution did the colors get reduced, but this was far inside some protocols that had been there from old time and the servers had to run 100% reliable when a new crew came home and connected it to automatic transfer, it was originally the idea that every recording instantaneously should be available for everybody editing the news. (But you can just add some filters, or it has to be your camera's color balance) no Mr smart, it is not that easy! :-)

Fighting the armchair warriors can be taxing.

I've been through what you are talking about. I was working for large communications company. I was doing in house technical support. I had employees call me for support, and when I came to their work space, they started to tell me how I should fix their issues. I simply did what I had to do no matter what they said to me. Very often I asked the person why they don't fix the problem themselves, and then they would usually back off. I had to be careful to not be rude to them, because it was a corporate working environment.

I wish I was gifted with a guitar or soldering iron, but I’m not. So I watch you, and try follow along. Some are threatened by intelligence, and others are inspired.

Fran, we are so on the same page, age, experience with electronics, diverse types of devices taken apart for learning, etc. I'm 55, I was given tools and old appliances and electronics to "play with" mostly worn out and no need to put back together. All this started when I was about 5, at 10 or 11 I was given a Heathkit AR-13A to finish assembling that someone else had started and gave up, so your shirt with the Heathkit/Fran Lab mashup is what caught my eye! Been watching all your vids ever since! Amazing, keep up the great work!

Thanks Fran, I'm glad someone finally said it. You absolutely nailed it. I'm honestly not quite sure what possesses people to behave in such a manner, what I do know is that I certainly wasn't brought up to behave in such a fashion and it's certainly not restricted to RU-vid, these kind of people are everywhere these days and I feel like they are a symptom of what's gone wrong with the world these days.

Hi Fran I have never commented on RU-vid before but I just had to today after watching you today. I used to be an Electronic Technician at a British Aerospace company. I totally agree with you that some people who post comments obviously do not have a grasp of the topics but turn to their mobile phone and all of a sudden think that they are experts and just have to tell the world about their opinion. Obviously it is yours choice as to whether you continue to publish things on RU-vid but I for one would miss your contributions. When I first started in my engineering job as an apprentice engineer we worked with Thermionic valves and I really enjoy your explanation of how they work. Whatever you do in the future I wish you well.

It isn't a generational thing, I'm a retired engineer in my later 60s and people talked to experts back when and tried to tell them how they could do things better. It's not a new thing. It's just that more of them have access to you at the same time with the internet. I'm sorry they get into your head, they're not worth space there. I wish you'd just delete/skip without reading as soon as you realize it's a mansplainer, and block them. Healthy boundaries are healthy. Love and love. You do you, boo.

Yes! What you said is exactly so. I recently retired, after decades of both engineering and teaching. I taught topics from basic electronics to nuclear reactor protection systems. My one core takeaway from teaching was that "nobody knows nothin'." People live more on tribal knowledge and thinking they know things than on comprehension of the actual way things work. In my experience this is not new phenomenon, but as you said, it seems that nowadays the younger generations are not as willing to listen to someone who has more knowledge than them. Good Video!

I’ve been using a 3-D printer for a few years and I am a member of a group on Facebook for my model of printer. Myself and others have often post a question on how to fix a certain problem and 20 people will give you 20 different answers and each of them act like there’s certain about it. I never tell anybody what they need to do I just tell them what worked for me

I understand what you are saying and wish to see your videos for a long long while. I just don't know how to react to this, other than that people on YT is a extreme amount of youngsters thinking they made it already about around 12-20 years old. And that takes a special kind of skin to handle. I hope you can develop this skin. I know this from creating art for 3D virtual networks. It can be hard to manage the attention and reactions with every time the same cool emotion. I can imagine that you get drawn into their comments sometimes. ❤

Always amazes me how people are shocked at other people's ignorance and stupidity. The only thing that's changed is recent years is that the internet has given them a voice. You'll be a lot happier if you can learn to see them for who they are, then you'll feel pity rather than bitterness and anger.

Unique problem with RU-vid. When an individual presenter in this format is world-facing but without the full infrastructure of a television station acting as a firewall, it's difficult for the presenter to not become affected by the sheer volume of audience feedback. It's human to be prone to being affected, that's how propaganda works : When a lie is repeated enough times it is eventually believed to be a truth. Only the mature and experienced have the resolve to survive. Hold it together Fran for as long as you can, and don't let the consensus of cloned and endless repeated misinformation get to you.

RU-vid and the internet has simply allowed these voices to be given too much weight. Simply put don't let the turkeys get you down... Be polite and send them away. It's not your job to try to educate these people. Be totally happy that the majority of your views enjoy your work. Please don't quit RU-vid please.

Some time ago I did a rewiring of a kit guitar, and I thought to myself : the customer would really benefit from a nice shielding. I didn't quote for that and didn't charge for the job (I think it was really nice) , and some time after, the store I work for told me: you know Marco, the customer completely destroyed your shielding because he took some online course and thought he could do better! What good is my 20+ years experience and street credibility? It's good for nothing with people who don't realize that hard work and experience is not a video away! Anyway, really like your channel! Stay away from bad vibes! A big thank you for your content from the azores, Portugal!

This is one of the best summaries I have heard in a long time, about everything that is deeply wrong with the modern-day world. Please keep doing what you are doing and don't give in to the idiots suffering from a bad case of Dunning-Kruger and extremist political correctness.

Fran, PLEASE do not change a thing. You are an honest breath of fresh air.

Definitely a valid frustration. We can’t control other peoples reactions or their actions. But we can control our reaction and try best not to let other people live rent free in our heads. Easier said than done. It’s taken me a lot of therapy to be able to try my best to implement that. Please try be kind to each other, we’re all human ❤️

I ran 16mm film 16 hours a day while I was in the US Army in the '70s on a RCA film chain system with a pair of TP66 projectors. That was about 2,880 hours, plus another 1500 hours maintaining all the equipment in my year there. I built equipment for NASA that went to the ISS, yet I have people tell me "What do you know about electronics?" My sister tried to put me down, as usual, "You always have to be the smartest person in the room." She can't wrap her mind around the fact that I've worked in engineering most of my life. What is normal conversation for me is over 99% of the population, yet I never try to insult them because they have no reason to know what the acronyms or engineering terms mean. As far as older bosses knowing more than you, I've had many instances where I had to point out a mistake they had made decades ago, and the technicians had to struggle to meet a nearly impossible goal. One instance was where the prototype used a microprocessor the used a pair of 22 pF capacitors with the crystal, but the C we were using required a pair of 200 pF capacitors for reliable operation. Another problem was a test for a parameter of a four quadrant Multiplier. Meeting that parameter lowered the board's performance. No one else had dared to bring up the issue, because it was designed by one of the two engineers that started the company. I had a half hour talk with him. It turned out the Motorola had included it as a measurement in a drawing of how to test for it. I pointed out that parameter was irrelevant, and how much it affected the most important parameters. I was told by my boss, "You've just been banned from Engineering, for life. I told him, "That won't last!" and kept walking. Three days later he came to my cluter of benches and said, "Engineering is on the phone. I went to his desk, to be told that they need my help on an older product. I said, "I'm sorry, but I've been band, and hung u. My boss was turning red when it rang again. He picked it up, answered and handed it to me. I heard, "We can wave it, this time." I said, I want it lifted, and in writing" and hung up again. My boss was about to tell me off. It rang again' Once again, he handed me the phone. "OK, you win." I replied, See? It wasn't that difficult, I'll be right down." I hung up and told my boss, "Support is either two way or not done at all. I often sent them EC Os for older products that were still in production. They refused at first, but they started making the changes. In this case, a customer wanted the product customized for their application, and the engineers who designed it had moved on or retired so I was the resident expert on that line.

Cmon Fran, dont fall into the trap that so many youtubers fall into, you need to moderate what "feedback" you listen to and take in. We are here because of you, we simply like what you do. I clicked on this video hoping that you ment another platform or perhaps another line of work not the complaining about others butting in giving you "advice". Im aware of the irony of me also giving you "advice". But i dont know what other viewers think but if you go down the same route of whining about trolls and morons you will loose subscribers and viewers. Im sorry but i have to say something, have a nice day and i hope you dont get bogged down in that swamp.

I'm enjoying your content. Know from bitter personal experience just what it's like to jump the fifty nine bars in the way of getting any product to market - or not as the case often is... Unless someone has done that themselves they have no useful knowledge to voice - sure seems like there are a lot of google professionals though. You know, the sort who google something for ten minutes and then think they have mastered tens of thousands of hours of practical understanding and experience sufficient to lecture the world. Sad little people in the end aren't they... You keep doing you Fran, because you are a very great deal indeed to tens of thousands of us. Watching the crap you and others have to wade through on YT has made me choose not to do anything myself as of yet, but it is(was?) a useful platform to put up ideas and share knowledge globally, well if one gets big enough...

Fran! I love your videos! Don’t listen to the haters! Whatever you decide you want to share, I will watch! I’ve learned a lot from your videos! Thank you so much!

Good frant! I feel your pain, Fran. I’m 62 and started out it my 20s as a video game reviewer and I have people shouting at me all the time about gaming. It turns you into the worst kind of boomer cliche. I resist the urge to begin sentences with “listen sonny” and end them with “short pants” :)

Don't worry Fran, your doing nothing wrong. I always look forward to your videos.

Dr. Walter Gibbs from Tron (1982) - "Won't that be grand? Computers and the programs will start thinking and the people will stop."

Haha! You’re awesome, Fran! Keep going like you are! I love everything the way it is! 💙

Hang in there Fran! Some of us love your videos the way they are. I have learned so much from your channel. Thank you!

Well, I do think that it is a generational thing as well, but not in a sense of they want to prove or something. As someone who belongs to that generation, well, we constantly get asked to do more, to do better, and to be able to do things that are out of the scope of our knowledge, and we are constantly asked to prove it. And personally, it bothers me a lot. Because, society raised us to be like that. To be... General purpose, let's say it like that.

I really love your channel and truly appreciate everything that you share with us.

How about this: You're doing fantastic. I love your channel just as it's been going. TY for the diversity of your content.

During my master's I realized that the person with more knowledge of my work was me. My advisor just had some idea of what was going on. So I developed a good filter to comments and advices during the course of my studies.

Hang in there, Fran. And rant as much as you need to. I appreciate your efforts on your content. You are appreciated.

Thanks for venting for me. I feel exactly the same

Humility and a little circumspect self analysis is in short supply in many people these days. You are awesome mate, never doubt it.

I have days when the things other people say just bounce off me as tiny 'mehs' and I also have days when the things people say bug the hell out of me and I can't move on with life without dwelling on them. I don't know why that is. I'm not a youtuber though and it's probably a good thing.

Fran you are a wonderful person who at the very least makes me smile, just do what you've always done, because your life is yours, I'm sure this isn't anything new though, you're smart, hope you have a fran-tastic day :)

We seem to have morphed into a society where for many people the right to hold an opinion has expanded not only to include an irresistible urge to express the opinion but also an obligation for others to take the opinion seriously. The separation of participants inherently imposed with social media makes it easier for this attitude to flourish rather than would be the case with the interaction dynamics entailed in real world face to face exchanges. Well that’s my opinion so I know it’s right.

Keep going Fran, the majority of the community greatly appreciate what you do

"Frant"! I love it. Maybe it'll make the Oxford dictionary. Anyway, are you still using silver? Awesome. My academic background was completed at RIT in Photo Science. I love the silver process (B&W or color). While I've been shooting digital for about 15 years, I still have my Sinar F 4x5 and want to get back into silver. I've loved the process for over years, with the hands on demand it required. I worked for a photographic darkroom manufacturing company in engineering and then management and went to schools and colleges to have them maintain their silver labs. It is such an important subject to learn and helps to make connections with the digital process. Some think it's 'old' and that digital is the way. They miss the beauty of the silver image that isn't possible with digital. So, keep up Franting, but don't loose sight of your passions. Dennis from Doylestown

Mi się Twój kanał podoba :) i ten zegar był bez elektroniki. Pozdrowienia z Polski!

I enjoyed this one so much!!! Reminds me of when Lobsang Rampa answered his readers' letter!!! So good!!! I live in my workshop in Venezuela where almost every day people who don't drive tell drivers which way to turn the steering wheel when trying to get out of the narrow dead-end street I live on. Bwahaha!!!

You're entertaining, I enjoy your content, I always look forward to you showing me something that I've never seen before. You keep doing you.

I've spent so much time doing some riff on this same type of thing, ranting to someone (in lieu of a camera) about why no one can let someone else be the expert about anything that they are passionate about. I think generationally, we have a whole group of young people, being raised to communicate socially via a medium that encourages truncation of complete explanations and pleasantries, so instead of "In my experience, (insert incorrect information and how I arrived there)" you just get "incorrect information, zero context". The first one encourages discourse, the second encourages argument.

Fran, You are such a caring person. The negative hits you hard. The world is full of people bashing down others. Being an abuse survivor I am trying to practice to let things out of my control not hurt me. I just let them go and know that the good things I do help others in the world. Your videos are so cool of fun facts and seeing the great exploration of various electronics. Please never give up, the people that support you want you to keep going. You are encouraging to Woman to get into electronics. Back in 1974 when I was in vocational Electronics It was all boys. Even in college it was only a few woman. Please keep going... thank you very much for your work...
