I can't release this video for general viewing as it was the first version of a promotional video for Texas Instruments, but was declined because it contained non-advertiser friendly references to explosives and atomic bombs.
I recorded a more sterile version that left out the history ramble and it will probably get released for general viewing. When it does you can compare the two and pick your favourite. Comments are disabled on the video since it's associated with the other one. Likewise, please don't make references to this video in the comments section of the official one if it gets released.
Anyone who grew up in the 80's will know the exciting side of Texas Instruments, and how they were right there in the thick of the video arcade era.

Yeah I make it personal policy not to link videos to people who dont have access in the first place, but thats just me tho lol.

2017-10-28 16:16:23 +0000 UTC:( One of the many reasons why I hate business politics. I did like the final video though! Shame we can't direct message you for a dropbox link to the original...or some sort of non-public request mechanism. lol
2017-10-28 02:13:37 +0000 UTCI understand. I might always feel a little hollow spot in my heart, but I'm still looking forward to the new version. If it involves electronics, and needs to be explained, you're the guy!
2017-10-27 19:39:31 +0000 UTCI can only use it if the advertising agency associated with the project changes their mind.

2017-10-27 19:24:50 +0000 UTCCould you re-upload this separately? I didn't get to see it :(
2017-10-27 18:44:10 +0000 UTCThanks for letting at least a few of us see the original, I hadn't realised you had those cool old machines too and it was a cool trip down memory lane (my era is discrete electronics -> microcontroller/specialised ICs) it's fascinating looking back on the significance of changes that kinda pass you by at the time. I think the second section is actually a little clearer in the final version where you tweaked the order of some of the diagrams you drew, especially the power factor correction chip, so some good came of it even if it lost a little bit of the bigclive factor...

2017-10-27 06:52:01 +0000 UTCThe stupidity around you only seems to be growing, in reality it is only your own intelligence that is growing.

2017-10-27 04:19:40 +0000 UTCI hope I get to see this video in its entirety at some point. I'm quite sorry I missed the window of opportunity. :(
Michael Thompson
2017-10-27 00:24:32 +0000 UTCGood luck with that. For it seems that I've been wishing that for most of my life and sadly, the very opposite has happened for stupidity is very definitely a growth industry.
2017-10-26 14:37:27 +0000 UTCIt's currently going through the approval process.

2017-10-26 12:27:45 +0000 UTCSo, since this video is gone, where is the released video? I haven't found it through searches.

2017-10-26 12:04:12 +0000 UTCSorry to have missed it, I'll just use my imagination and assume it featured Fanny Flambeaux explaining how it all worked!
2017-10-26 06:47:59 +0000 UTCshit i wish people would stop TRYING to be stupid

2017-10-26 05:27:07 +0000 UTCGod damn it.
2017-10-26 04:52:14 +0000 UTCToo bad. I also only watched the beginning before going to work. Was gonna finish off before bed. From the stuff I saw, nothing would have offended me. Just some historical facts.

2017-10-26 04:04:31 +0000 UTCPlease don't re-upload it.
Big Clive
2017-10-26 02:11:48 +0000 UTCYou saw the main different bit. The final video is a re-record of the second part with slight changes.
Big Clive
2017-10-26 02:11:09 +0000 UTC"...someone posted a link from a TI forum and the advertising agency asked for it to be removed." Grrr! The very first words from Clive about this video were, "I can't release this video for general viewing..." then some idiot thinks, "Oh, so I guess I'll go share a link to this with the world!" This is why we can't have nice things. :(
2017-10-26 01:54:08 +0000 UTCStarted watching it this morning before work. Went to finish it tonight after dinner... Gone. :( I guess someone at TI was not happy about it being published even to a very limited audience here on Patreon. Well, 2k people isn't all that limited, I suppose.
2017-10-26 01:27:45 +0000 UTCVideo not available.

2017-10-26 01:22:13 +0000 UTCvideo not available?edit: got it, i should read the comments :D
2017-10-26 01:05:21 +0000 UTCOh for fuck's sake. It seems that even Patreon's higher signal-noise ratio can't prevent boneheads being boneheads. Nice job, whoever you are.

2017-10-25 22:11:21 +0000 UTCI knew the video was going to be removed sooner or later. Luckily I downloaded it, so all is well :D
2017-10-25 22:04:56 +0000 UTCShame. I was half way through and had to go out. Completely understand that it had to go though.
2017-10-25 21:26:54 +0000 UTCSorry, someone posted a link from a TI forum and the advertising agency asked for it to be removed.

2017-10-25 21:18:22 +0000 UTCGone up in smoke like that from 404 sparklers. :-(

2017-10-25 20:39:35 +0000 UTCI began to watch it and now it's gone. Makes me sad.

2017-10-25 20:33:37 +0000 UTCShame, it looks like I've missed it, hope to see the edited version sometime soon.
2017-10-25 20:28:19 +0000 UTCThat was fascinating, thanks for letting us see the full version.

2017-10-25 15:18:50 +0000 UTCI started collecting pinball machines early enough that I never paid more than Β£200 for them. This Centaur was actually the last one I bought and had been someones project that went wrong. It didn't take much to get it running again though. The most impressive bit was that they had forced all the lamp connectors onto the PCB the wrong way round, puncturing the keying pins with the connector pins. The echo board is a new version I designed to be a direct replacement for the older troublesome board that used an obsolete chip.

2017-10-25 14:53:34 +0000 UTCI recently got annoyed enough to stop paying for Youtube Red, so I'm quite happy to see videos without ads via Patreon. :)
2017-10-25 14:38:41 +0000 UTCI cut my computing teeth on the tI980b "minicomputer" as they were called in those days and did a lot of work with the 76477 sound generator when I worked on flight simulators. And, like everyone in those days, I built a Texan hifi amplifier :). Just a thought, if they wanted something anodyne and inoffensive, why did they pick you? Have they not seen your channel?

2017-10-25 14:19:27 +0000 UTCI was born in 1963 and remember the first affordable pocket calculators, LED watches, electronic games, talking pinballs etc. Even was lucky enough to work at a seaside boardwalk arcade in the summer of 1984, right before the bottom fell out of the arcade industry. Many years later I managed to buy a "broken" Williams System 6 Gorgar pinball machine for $100. World's first talking pinball. Replaced the AA batteries on the CPU board and it was back up and running.

2017-10-25 14:08:39 +0000 UTCI can see why they might have frowned. From explosives (could have let that by) to speculation of military products and how/if it will survive an EMP, I get it. But, the review of some of the cooler chips was worth the discomfort.
2017-10-25 13:50:24 +0000 UTCThe electromechanical amusement arcade machines were really appealing because they were filled with rotating cams and clicking relays. (And exposed 240V metalwork!) When the electronic revolution happened a lot of the old machines got broken up and disposed of to make way for the new electronic games.
