如今，很多人都“热衷于技术”，但大多数人并不真正(really)关心他们如此热爱的技术的技术细节。这并没有错，你可以在不知道引擎盖下究竟是如何工作的情况下爱上快车，但总会有好奇的科技迷想要获得额外的知识。
在过去，您很难找到此类信息。购买(Buying)用难以理解的行话编写的小众书籍可能是您唯一的选择。也许搜索早期的互联网公告板或论坛可以挖掘您渴望的技术知识。
无论哪种方式，钻研表面规格和营销失败都是值得中土世界(Middle Earth)的追求！今天(Today)的情况再不一样了。YouTube等(YouTube)媒体(Media)平台非常适合让小众受众接触到他们想要的内容。
因此，如果您渴望比主流技术渠道提供的肉多一点，为什么不在这些优秀的在线机构中进行预订，并深入研究一系列肮脏的细节，同时获得极客的满足感。
数字铸造(Digital Foundry)(Digital Foundry)
如果您曾经茫然地盯着图形选项菜单列表并且不知道其中的任何含义，那么Digital Foundry就是您的最佳选择。它隶属于著名的Eurogamer网站，并提供深入研究计算机图形、物理模拟、音频和所有硬件等技术的视频。
该网站主要关注视频游戏图形和硬件，但任何对 CG 或一般计算机技术感兴趣的人都会发现对最复杂的尖端技术的大量实际解释。
还有很大一部分视频以复古为重点，因此，如果您想知道与您一起长大的旧计算机和游戏机的幕后究竟发生了什么，Digital Foundry已经为您提供了保障。
技术之声(Techmoan)(Techmoan)
在撰写本文时拥有超过 80 万订阅者，将Techmoan称为(Techmoan)YouTube 上(YouTube)的“隐藏的宝石”感觉是错误的。尽管如此，Techmoan 还是(Techmoan)提供了独特的技术评论组合，包括新的、复古的、复古的新硬件和普通怪异的硬件。Techmoan关注所有事物，其中包括一些非常晦涩但又非常引人入胜的技术。
您听说过VHD Videodisc吗？内置计算器(pen with a calculator built in)的笔怎么样？70年代的数字手表(digital watch from the 70s)怎么样？每一种倾向都有技术上的怪异之处，所有这些都在视频中捕捉到，并带有清晰、和蔼可亲的解释和巨大的生产价值。
8 位人(8-Bit Guy)(8-Bit Guy)
如果您是家庭计算黄金时代的粉丝，那么 8-Bit 家伙绝对是必不可少的目的地。主持人是真正(really )了解从 80 年代到 2000 年代计算机技术细节的人。8-Bit Guy基本上是复古技术色情片，但你会在对旧的米色盒子流口水时学到很多东西，这几乎感觉就像计算机历史上的免费课程。
该频道擅长展示这三个（左右）十年中一些最有趣和最有影响力的设备，但主持人也擅长提出一些真正有趣和另类的项目。
比如一系列尝试使用“过时(obsolete)”产品的视频，看看它们今天是否还能使用。还有很多教育修复项目也可以作为查看和了解计算机内部结构的好方法。
路易斯·罗斯曼(Louis Rossman)(Louis Rossman)
路易斯·罗斯曼（ Louis Rossman(Louis Rossman)）是一位独特的YouTube人物。这位直言不讳的技术大师在纽约(New York)的电脑维修店工作，从来没有不愿意分享的观点。有些人可能会觉得他的个性有些傲慢，但对于藏在他经常说脏话的大脑中的纯技术知识，这是无可争辩的。
他的视频的制作价值基本上是不存在的，其中大多数要么是路易斯(Louis)修复恶魔电子问题的长篇录音，同时通过它与我们这些农民交谈，要么是那个人自己坐在椅子上对着镜头说话。
这在纸上听起来可能并不引人注目，但不要太快做出判断。没有其他人会向公众提供一种内部芯片级的视角，看看隐藏在最新款MacBook闪亮外观背后的东西。他的许多(Many)Mac(Macs)显然是报废品，但即使Apple不希望Louis修理它们，他也会修理它们！(Louis)
技术连接(Technology Connections)(Technology Connections)
在某些方面，Technology Connections有点像Techmoan，但这里的重点更多是关于特定技术如何工作的理论。你能(Could)解释一下录像机(VCR)的内部是如何工作的吗？
观看此视频(this video)，您会感觉自己是一名新晋电子工程师。该频道真正分解了我们周围的技术是如何工作的，并且很好地解释了早已过时的设备的惊人内部世界。
制作质量和剪辑也比大多数YouTube频道都要高，在 90 年代的广播电视上也不会显得格格不入，这赋予了它独特的魅力。如果您曾经看着您的电视或空调并想“但它实际上是如何工作的？”，Technology Connections就是您的最佳选择。
在 YouTube 上发现科技钻石(Discovering Tech Diamonds on YouTube)
虽然这五个频道代表了YouTube 技术(YouTube tech)社区必须提供的一些最佳频道，但这只是冰山一角！似乎没有一个话题如此深奥以至于没有人找到它的听众。
专业的YouTuber已经达到了可以让网络电视节目为他们的钱而竞争的地步，即使频道是由一个人经营的！如果您有一个每个人都需要知道的最喜欢的技术YouTuber ，请在社交媒体上发声并分享爱。(YouTuber)你永远不能看太多好的技术视频！
5 YouTube Channels Every Serious Tech Fan Should Subscribe To
Lots of peoрle are “into technology” these days, but most people don’t really care about the technical details of the tech they espouse so much love for. There’s nothing wrong with that, you can love fast cars without knowing exactly how they work under the hood, but there will always be curious tech fans who do want that extra layer of knowledge.
In the past, you’d be hard pressed to find this sort of information. Buying niche books written in inaccessible jargon might have been your only option. Perhaps trawling early internet bulletin boards or forums could dredge up the tech knowledge you craved.
Either way, delving beyond the surface specs and marketing bumf was a quest worthy of Middle Earth! Today things couldn’t be more different. Media platforms like YouTube are perfect for putting niche audiences in touch with the content they want.
So if you crave a little more meat than mainstream tech channels can offer, why not make a reservation at one of these fine online establishments and dig into a nice order of dirty details, with a side of geek satisfaction.
If you’ve ever stared blankly at a list of graphical option menus and had no idea what any of it meant, then Digital Foundry is the channel for you. It’s affiliated with the venerable Eurogamer website and provides videos that dive deeply in technologies such as computer graphics, physics simulation, audio and all the hardware that makes it happen.
The site is mainly focused on video game graphics and hardware, but anyone who is interested in CG or computer technology in general will find a wealth of down-to-earth explanations of the most complex cutting-edge tech.
There’s also a good portion of videos with a retro focus, so if you ever wanted to know what was really going on under the hood of the old computers and consoles you grew up with, Digital Foundry has got you covered.
With over 800K subscribers at the time of writing, it feels wrong to refer to Techmoan as a “hidden gem” on YouTube. Still, Techmoan provides a unique mix of tech reviews that feature both new, retro, retro-new and just plain weird hardware. Techmoan looks at everything, which includes some incredibly obscure, yet utterly fascinating technologies.
Have you ever heard of VHD Videodisc? What about a pen with a calculator built in? How about a digital watch from the 70s? There are technological oddities here for every proclivity, all captured in videos with clear, affable explanations and great production values.
If you’re a fan of the golden age of home computing, the 8-Bit guy is an absolutely essential destination. The host is someone who really knows the minutiae of computer technology spanning from the 80s to the 2000s. 8-Bit Guy is basically retro tech porn, but you’ll learn so much while drooling over old beige boxes that it almost feels like a free course in computer history.
The channel has a knack for showcasing some of the most interesting and influential devices from those three (or so) decades, but the host also excels at coming up with some truly interesting and offbeat projects.
Such as a series of videos trying to use “obsolete” products, to see if they are still usable today. There are also a lot of educational restoration projects that also serve as a great way to see and understand the internals of computers.
Louis Rossman is a singular YouTube personality. Operating from his computer repair shop in New York, this straight-talking tech guru has never had an opinion he isn’t willing to share. Some people may find his personality somewhat brash, but there’s no arguing with the pure technical know-how nestled in that often foul-mouthed brain.
The production values on his videos are basically non-existent, with most of them either a long-form recording of Louis fixing fiendish electronic issues while talking us mere peasants through it, or the man himself sitting in a chair and talking at the camera.
It might not sound compelling on paper, but don’t be too quick to judge. No one else is going to give the general public the sort of inside, chip-level look at what lurks behind the shiny facade of the latest MacBook. Many of the Macs that come his way are apparent write-offs, but Louis will repair them even when Apple doesn’t want him to!
In some ways, Technology Connections is a little like Techmoan, but the focus here is more on the theory of how specific technologies work. Could you explain exactly how the inside of a VCR works?
Watch this video and you’ll feel like a newly-minted electronics engineer. The channel really breaks down how the technologies that surround us work and does a great job of explaining the amazing inner worlds of devices that are long since obsolete.
The production quality and editing is also a cut above most YouTube channels and wouldn’t have been out of place on broadcast TV in the 90s, which lends it a unique charm. If you ever looked at your TV or air-conditioner and thought “but how does it actually work?”, Technology Connections is the place for you.
Discovering Tech Diamonds on YouTube
While these five channels represent some of the best that the YouTube tech community has to offer, it’s just the tip of the iceberg! There doesn’t seem to be a topic so esoteric that someone hasn’t found an audience for it.
Professional YouTubers have reached the point where they can give network TV programs a run for their money, even when the channel is run by a single person! If you’ve got a favorite tech YouTuber that everyone needs to know about, sound off on social media and share the love. You can never watch too many good tech videos!
