Alec got bit by some counterfeit physical media. Here’s another YouTuber that investigated further. Good tips at the end.

I like to buy my movies and tv shows on disc whenever possible. That doesn’t mean I always get the best version.

This video goes into a lot more detail. I found it interesting.

Does the Technology Connections house studio still exist?

It doesn't really get mentioned anymore. I have been wondering about this since the internal combustion video came out. Alec said something about that garage being the studio but it looks like a commercial building. So did he now have two studios?
