Technology Connections talks about a red fridge from Walmart for an hour

This goofy fridge has a really clever design. It's also kinda terrible.

In a video by @Techconnectify@mas.to, Alec goes into a deep dive into the simplicity of his particular model, its shortcomings and variety of data logging tests in an attempt to fix them.

TL,DW: Very simple, cheap and ingenious design, with one compressor loop between the fridge and freezer in series. However, its temperature sensor is wonky and so the fridge is more affected by how long the compressor operates than the actual temperature itself. There is a signficant temperature differential between the top and bottom, fans on the exterior or interior could help but with the faulty sensor only made matters worse. With the controller replaced with a proper temp control unit the fridge functioned much better.

@TechConnectify I think you're missing the part where I didn't like the content, and I don't like you personally, and I unsubscribed. Please stop spamming me.

@JWBananas @Rentlar @SilentStorms ask and you shall receive, but maybe next time untag me first

Ignore that jerk. You're great, and your detergent videos explained, in exhaustive detail, (as all of your videos do, because that's literally the whole shtick,) the nuance and context that you were aiming for. Anyone who missed that just wasn't paying attention.

Also your snarkiness in your videos is amazing and never stop being you.

I didn't fucking tag you in my original post. I don't even know how you found it in the first place. If this is how the fediverse works, that's not good.

Dude what the hell? You posted publicly in a public comment thread and are mad when the person you're talking about responded? You know this could happen on reddit too right? Creators are people too, you absolute dick.
