He had some videos last year about what was going on with his health, and this is an update from a few days ago.

I heard in a previous video that he had anemia but was coping with it OK. I'm glad to see that hasn't changed (said he's improved more)

If I've said this somewhere I'll say it again, I quite like Jay. He's one of the best people on youtube I've ever encountered. He actually got me interested in watching "tech channel" type videos, I used to think they were all a bunch of self appointed, self centered preachers of bollocks
Through him, I got to like Steve at Gamer's Nexus videos, and even some of that silly Linus Tech stuff (I do mean just some).
I also learned of a guy named Louis Rossmann. Electronics repair wizard (a real one... test the pathways on a motherboard as fast as he can talk about it and have the soldering flux melting lickety split. Literally lol... I saw a video of him testing and speaking really fast). However, this guy has an opinion on just about everything. Everything that pisses him off, mostly... for example right-to-repair, and DRM. I always think I'm just going to click and get the gist of it, but end up listening to him just because he's got the gift of the gab and he's interesting and entertaining. The connection was to Jay and Steve videos about Nvidia cards cracking PCB's at the tongue, that's how I got him in my feeds.

Been watching Louis Rossman for years. Solid no nonsense guy . He's done more than pretty much anyone to fight Apple's no right to repair policy. Complete opposite of a Linus. I remember him (Linus) when he was working at NCIX in Burnaby repairing computers years ago. Loud mouth know-it-all. I've watched Jay a few times and he seems to be pretty thorough and knowledgeable.

I like how he starts out all polite, and then enunciates something like "Those fucking pricks are trying to..."
But yes, I think he's been a consultant for companies in legal issues and stuff too. He's got a "what hasn't he done" quality about him. At first I thought "who is this guy... he sure seems to know everything" when I saw various topics he speaks on.

I started watching Louis Rossman's videos last year after hearing references to him in other channels.
