Dave Tries This YouTube Channel

I started the Dave Tries This YouTube channel (YouTube.com/@davetriesthis) to take my history of technology journalism into a new space. At least, new for me.

As someone who has worked for so long in print and online journalism—where it’s required to write in the voice of an existing audience, I find YouTube an amazing platform, allowing me to share my unique voice with a broader audience.

Unlike traditional journalism, where I write in a specific voice tailored to an existing audience, YouTube enables me to express myself creatively and connect with my audience more personally. It’s also a great way to build a community of like-minded individuals with similar interests and passions. I love the power and potential of YouTube as a platform for self-expression and connection.

The Bambu Lab P2S is here, and after more than 4,000 hours on my P1S, I had a very specific wishlist of upgrades. The P2S was designed to check off every item on my wishlist. Did they do it? After a few weeks with the P2S I'll walk you through the biggest changes—like the new 5" touchscreen, quick-swap hotend, hardened steel nozzle, DinoSense extrusion system, upgraded camera, and the AI-powered print failure detection that genuinely saved a few of my prints. ________________________________________________________________ *Bambu Labs Black Friday Sales* - Up to 47% off - https://geni.us/gqq8qIz *Bambu P2S Printer* - https://geni.us/bambup2s *Bambu P1S Sale* - https://geni.us/bambup1s *Bambu Filament* - https://geni.us/bambufilament *Bambu A1* - https://geni.us/bambua1 *The Elegoo filament I mention in this video* - https://geni.us/I5aI6N *My Amazon 3D Printing Store With My Favorite 3D Printers and Printing Accessories* - https://geni.us/dtt3dp *My Amazon Storefront With All of My _Hand-Tested Items_ in Dozens of Categories* - https://geni.us/dttamz 🛒 These are Affiliate Links from Amazon and other programs, and I earn commission on qualifying sales ________________________________________________________________ If you're wondering whether the P2S is the new leader in 3D printing, how it compares to the P1S you might already own, or whether the AMS 2 Pro setup makes sense for multi-color and multi-material printing.

Stop Wasting Weekends Mowing—This Robot Mower Does It for You Mowing the lawn shouldn’t eat up your free time—and now it doesn’t have to. Meet the Ecovacs GOAT A3000, a dual-LiDAR robot mower that handles your yard like a pro while you sit back, relax, and enjoy your day. ___________________________________________ *Check Prices or Buy Now* Ecovacs A3000 - https://geni.us/Q3euxDK Ecovacs A2500 - https://geni.us/ecovacsgoat * My Amazon Storefront With Household, Yard, and Cleaning Items I Love* - https://geni.us/householdshop * My Amazon Storefront With All of My Hand-Tested Items in Dozens of Categories* - https://geni.us/dttamz Affiliate links may earn this channel a commission on qualifying purchases ___________________________________________ This is an upgrade from the A2500 I reviewed previously, and the biggest difference? No RTK antenna needed. Thanks to its dual-LiDAR navigation and built-in AI camera, setup takes about 15 minutes—no tools required except the included Allen wrench. Just drop the charging base on the lawn, stake it down, plug it in, and you’re ready to map. Mapping your yard is as easy as using one of Ecovacs' robot vacuums. Walk it around your lawn to auto-map, draw in multiple zones and connectors, and set up no-go areas like flower beds or trampolines—all from your phone. It features: • A powerful 32V Energetic Platform with dual blade discs that cut up to 4,300 square feet an hour • TruEdge mowing to cleanly trim along sidewalks, fences, and garden beds • 3D obstacle avoidance that navigates around toys, furniture—even your feet • Quiet operation that’s almost whisper-level (seriously, you’ll forget it’s running) • Slope handling up to 27 degrees with ease • It even brings itself back to the charger when it’s done or needs more power—and it recharges in just 45 minutes. *My Previous Ecovacs A2500 Review - https://youtu.be/q6vb1f00N6w If you mow your lawn every other week from March to October, that's 18 hours a year this mower gives you back. That’s more time with family, for hobbies, or just doing nothing at all. And if you’ve been paying someone to mow for you? This pays for itself quickly. The only thing to know: early units (like mine) came with a short power cord, but Ecovacs now ships the A3000 with a 10-meter cable to avoid that issue. Whether you’re a busy homeowner, someone with limited mobility, or just tired of yard work, this mower is for you. Got questions or want to share why you’re considering a robotic mower?
