I watched a Technology Connections video, in its entirety, in one sitting, and still had time for my life. Who knew that was possible?

As a Tesla owner, thank for the first 50 seconds of this video and 8:50. A much needed roasting of Tesla's decision to not include them.

I know you do the low effort videos for yourself, but I would like to remind you, we all watched an hour long video about dishwashers and loved it. I still, to this day, get the hot water flowing to my sink before starting the dishwasher add soap on the door because it doesn't have a place for first stage soap. We love your shit, bro.

Alec, stand proudly. You used the manual as intended; as the last resort. You sir, are an engineer.

Some engineer:
- looks at pulse oximeter
- looks at windshield
- squints eyes

Iâve worked in technical support for many years, from water heaters to security systems. 25% of my job is reading the manual for people who canât be bothered. We sold you the info when we sold you the product, man!

I come for the info but stay for the humor. I find myself giggling every video and it reminds me, adults need to laugh more. Thank you

As a Tesla Model X owner, I appreciate all the little jabs at Tesla.

"Look, I get it wet, and the car wipes! But two can play at that game-" then using a screen whipe as a transition between frames. Is exactly the kind of joke I love getting blindsighted by between detailed information in a presentable manner, and truely midwestern levels of snark.

I had two very nice surprises recently after buying a very cheap CitroÍn from 1998. First, it has a rain sensor. And second, It´s by far the best working rain sensor i have ever seen. It never gets confused or start when it´s dry or forget to wipe when it´s wet. It´s 100% perfect all the time. And they did that in 1998!

It is highly satisfying to see you present a technology that relies on the magic of having two of them.

Alec, please never stop doing these it's hilarious

What you try to look up: Change wiper blades
Owner's manual index term: Inclement weather clearing system maintenance

As a software engineer, thank you for spreading the gospel off RTFM. As a sidenote, the people who need to be told to RTFM also seem to be the people who don't write any manuals for the stuff they make, or don't bother describing 80% of the functionality in it. Not sure what is more frustrating. Telling people to RTFM or finding out there is no FM to R.

I once had the privilege of working along side a Technical Author and he worked really hard to create a useable, easy to understand users' manual. He did comment that the manual would only be as good as the information that we (the Engineering Team) provided and the amount of time we were prepared to spend answering his questions. It always struck me as a bit of a shame that he didn't get to put his name on the manual that the customers got to read.

This video was so quick, I didn't even expect to be showered with new Alec rant time

You have no idea how amazing this video is for me. One day, I wanted to know how this worked on my car, but when I googled âhow do rain sensing wipers workâ I just kept getting pointed to manufacturer webpages that just say âautomatically detects rain and activates wipersâ without anything saying HOW it detects rain. Itâs bothered me ever since. Thank you!

I haven't seen your channel for a while but I wanted to say I can tell you've been working on your fitness and you look good! I know as men we don't hear compliments often, so I wanted you to know it's visible and you're doing a great job

Alex, we've been saying RTFM since at least the 1980's. I've gone through the manual for every car I ever owned and always find something new, unexpected, and useful there. You found your wiper hack. On my 2017 car I found how to get into and start the car even if the battery in the key fob dies.

The thing that surprises me the most about this entire episode is that Alec is not the kind of person to read his owner's manual front to back within the first 30 days of buying his car.
