Anyone care to sum up in a few sentences what this 20+ minute video is all about?

E: fucking lemmy, lol. Don’t watch youtube! Google sucks! Use alternatives! /asks for a quick summary so as to avoid youtube: lemmy: “Downvote!1!1”

Alec has been on a multi-year quest to get an incandescent color profile from LED Christmas lights. I haven't watched this episode, but he usually does a pretty good job of recapping at the start of every episode.

It's always super entertaining, in my opinion.

EDIT: I watched it. It is indeed super entertaining! This time, the recap comes after his special Christmas light repacking tip, so it's a couple of minutes in.

Thank you. That would be lovely. I find LED’s flicker sometimes and are too “hard”, they lack the softer, more yellow profile of incandescents.

Probably what his rant is all about.

It's been a fun journey. And he's on the Fediverse! https://mas.to/@TechConnectify

(not tagging him directly because I feel like he probably gets that enough)
