Faux Rhino

Good news everyone! Videos should be more frequent very soon.

Two months ago, I lost a tool I used to edit a few videos which was making the editing bearable. The company was acquired by the big player in the space and I can't justify $200-$1000 a month on a tool to edit videos. So, I decided to make my own.

Introducing Prune - an open source transcript based video editor: github.com/SloPOS/Prune

If you edit long winded rambling videos like I tend to, this thing is awesome - all self hosted running for free on your own hardware at home. It analyzes your speech and allows you to select words to cut from your video, then either exports the full video or a project file to import into your editor of choice. Works on Mobile and Desktop, is ad free and costs $0!

Grab it and let me know what you think - with any luck, I'll be using it to edit my next videos out this weekend.

TLDR: I’m pivoting the channel. I’m choosing passion over the algorithm.

When I started this channel last August, I wanted to share projects I actually cared about. Things were slow until I hit the EcoFlow series, which brought almost all of you here. Since then, I’ve spent a ridiculous amount of money chasing what I thought you wanted to see.

The result? I’m bored, the videos are underperforming, and I’ve been avoiding my own warehouse because my hobby has started to feel like a job that doesn't pay.

What’s changing:

The Focus: I’m moving back to tech-focused projects I’m passionate about. I want to provide real guidance, not just read numbers off a multimeter.

The Backlog: I have a few remaining power station/battery videos and sponsorships to finish, then the pivot is final.

Memberships: I’ve turned these off for now. If the channel finds its footing again, I’ll look at them later.

I’m tired of "phoning it in." I’d rather have a smaller audience that enjoys my best work than a larger one that only likes the stuff I’m forced to make. There will still be some "battery jank" here and there, but it’s no longer the main event.

To those who stay: thanks for being here. To those who joined just for the power stations: I totally get it if you head out.

I’m done chasing numbers. I’m going back to making things I love. Stay warm out there✌️

New video is live now!

For those sharp eyes out there, you'll notice the ending shots didn't include a shot of the new light or camera. The last step of the day was to mount those and instead of driving the drill into the post, I decided to slip and drive it right through my fingernail. OUCH! I'll post a picture of the finished setup this weekend when I get back out there and (hopefully) get it mounted. I can confirm, everything is wired and working as intended!

Members Only: The Mini-Max teardown is officially LIVE! 🔋

For everyone else, the premiere drops tomorrow at 5 PM EST. But don't go anywhere after the video—I’m hosting a LIVE Q&A at 5:30 PM EST immediately following the release.


We’ll be breaking down the results, answering your burning questions, and I’ll be giving a tour of the upgraded testing setup (it’s growing fast! 📈).

Set your reminders! Who’s tuning in? 👇

Am I way off base here, or is this jankiness on a scale we've not seen before?

Would you buy a power station if this is how it was put together, even if it met all specs? Why or why not?

Ohio - here I come!

Making an unplanned visit to finally grab the Tesla. Unfortunately, this puts a wrench in my plans to get the MiniMax battery testing video out this week, but I'll try my best to get it done this weekend [if you didn't see before, don't buy these]. Going to be a rushed trip, but I'll try to get some shots of the repair shop considering they have about 100x more NMC battery cells than I do, which is saying something!

If you see a black Model S with bronze wheels heading South on a major highway, feel free to throw a wave!

Um...guys.... don't buy those mini max batteries. I might have to put this video out early, waiting to see if the companies respond. More to come soon.
