i’ve been so trained to reach for the skip forward button when someone says “… but first” at a transition point out of the intro of a youtube video that i almost just did it for someone who was actually just transitioning into the backstory behind the tech they were about to present before showing the objects. harsh realm
the video in question is good btw
my first internet connection as a kid was with one of these tiny little local dialup ISPs before my parents switched us to AOL (i assume because it was cheaper) and it’s fun to think about how wild this era was
