Web Video / Dawid Does Tech Stuff

Dawid Does Tech Stuff is a YouTube channel run by the titular Dawid, who primarily "reviews" PC components of both expected-good and known-dubious quality, and tries to achieve ridiculous and pointless feats using tech.

---

Dawid Does Tech Stuff provides examples of the following tropes:

• Berserk Button: Single-channel RAM. And most of the cheap prebuilts he buys come with only one RAM stick.
  • In his video about the "peasant epeen system" ^note an underpowered system with a custom watercooling loop he picked up on Craigslist, he engages in some Lampshade Hanging by filming a bit where he yells insults at a RAM stick.
  • He was once impressed rather than mad that a prebuilt he bought with a rare quad-channel motherboard and CPU still had only a single RAM stick, saying he'd thought he'd never see such a thing in the wild.
• Deadpan Snarker: Dawid can be exceptionally cutting about a lot of the poor quality crap that he reviews.
• Early-Installment Weirdness: Dawid's early videos often featured tutorials or attempted to give actual consumer advice.
• Insistent Terminology: A lot, and usually with a heavy dose of double entendre.
  • "Acer loser nitro suck face"^note A particularly displeasing Acer pre-built PC
  • "Venereal disease"^note Pre-installed bloatware and anti-virus on pre-built computers and laptops
  • "Glory hole"^note A port on the bottom of a laptop for the user to access memory slots without disassembling it
  • "Laptop coorel"^note An Amazon no-name laptop cooler that managed to spell "cooler" wrong in its description, leading Dawid to refer to it as such for ever more
  • "Mesozoic period port"^note A 15-pin VGA port, used for monitors since the 1980s
• Once an Episode: Absolutely any computer, CPU or graphics card will be tested by running Grand Theft Auto V on it, specifically judging its performance by walking out of Franklin's house and driving down the same road in central Los Santos. Even things that have absolutely no business running GTA 5 are tested in this way.
• Very False Advertising: He often takes ridiculous Amazon product listings at their word for laughs, e.g., buying an 8K TV to test an "8K mini gaming PC" containing a GTX 1650 at 8K.
  • In 'I Bought An "RGB Custom Built Gaming PC" from Etsy.com...', Dawid simply shows the part of the Etsy product description saying it will play Fortnite over footage of the PC trying to run Fortnite, set to the sound of him laughing at it.
• You Say Tomato: Dawid's pronunciation of "thirty" as "thiddy" has been embraced by his viewers, to the point that he sells a t-shirt with "thiddy" on it. It doesn't hurt that a *lot* of GP Us seem to have a 30 somewhere in their name.
