   @thomasfuchs @mos_8502 Fran Blanche is outside the 8-bit home computer stuff, does much more older stuff, NASA stuff, disassembles all those weird super cool illuminated switches and pre-LED displays as seen on the old mission control consoles, really super cool. And not a cis dude, which when you look at the rest of this group...

     A brief list of less problematic #retrocomputing YouTube channels for those who are uncomfortable with the public behaviour of The 8-Bit Guy:

     • Techmoan (Mat does more audio than computers, but very retro, and a cool dude)
     • Mr. Lurch's things (Jason is a great guy)
     • RMC (Neil is also a great dude)
     • Retro Recipes (I'll be honest, I find Christian's whole vibe a bit over polished and highly produced, but I also think he puts in a lot of honest effort and really loves retro systems -- plus he was in two Star Wars films)
     • Adrian's Digital Basement (Basically the Mr. Rogers of Retrocomputing, I love this dude)
     • Usagi Electric (The dude restores vintage mini-computers, how awesome is that?)
     • More Fun Making It (Also a cool dude, and his whole vibe is just fun to watch)

     @beige_alert @thomasfuchs I'm out of space to add more people to the original post, but I encourage people to suggest good tech YouTuber women's channels.

     @mos_8502 @thomasfuchs Blondihacks is almost all machining and metalwork (the occasional pinball machine repair) which I guess is a different sort of topic, but again, not a lot of other women doing machine shop videos. Small machines in her garage, a bit more like the thing one might start out with as a hobby than the machinists with the big tools working on big iron.
