NEW VIDEO: How a simple mistake ruined my new PC (and my YouTube channel)

A close-up photograph of a CPU socket, showing the LGA pins. The pins appear straight and normal. Just above them is pixelated white text with a red shadow, reading "Please no..."

Greetings, Fediverse! Let me make an #introduction - I'm Emily, a recently out #trans girl, #lgbtq advocate, and giant #tech nerd.

This is a personal account, but since 2017 I've been working at #linustechtips as a writer and occasional host. I'm most well-known for #Linux and #retrogaming / #retrocomputing content, but my interests can be very broad - Especially with stuff I know nothing about!

Tech can be fun and tech can be a tool, and to that end, I advocate using (and breaking) every platform and learning about the days of computers past. Between work and home, I currently daily drive #Linux and #Windows in roughly equal measure.

I was a #sega kid, so that probably had something to do with that philosophy... And my fondness for FM synth.

I really wish we could get a secure replacement for email already, one that’s incompatible and not just bolting on and becoming an optional feature by necessity.

And SMS.

And phone networks.

And credit card networks.

And
