Thank you for sharing this useful knowledge regarding the most common connection devices and techs. Highly recommended for people who wish to get a little more involved than the general casual user. I'll stay tuned in, especially since I found your tech-channel on YouTube. Ready to level a few skills. Please keep up the good work, Sir!
