Specialist

YouTube channels and websites in this category are sources of some niche and sometimes hard-to-find information. They all deserve a massive shoutout for the valuable work they do.

• [YouTube] AllThingsOnePlace
  • A technology reviews channel for consumer power systems. I particularly like the USB-C charger reviews.
  • The metric I like looking at is power efficiency, which is rarely talked about with other reviewers.
• [YouTube] Project Farm
  • Kinda a reviews channel for all sorts of consumer items. Whenever I'm shopping for a new item that might be covered by the channel (like pliers or a knife), I like checking this channel to get an idea of the quality I can expect. It often influences my purchasing decisions.
• [Web] RTINGS.com
  • A technology reviews website with great methodology and tools to tabulate/organize and compare many reviews at once.
• [YouTube] The Quantified Scientist
  • A technology reviews channel for wearables, with a focus on health tracking features.
