bro built the worst dial up known to man
Best compliment I've received, thank you

YEAHH
@@WackBoominTranslate to English: YEAH
Bro invented the acoustic coupler. I'm genuinely impressed.
Bro actually spent 3 years on a video, the gap in upload proves it. True dedication, you've earned a sub
That three year upload gap is what we in the industry call "environmental storytelling."
The metatextual details go hard 😤
Baud rate: no
Signal to Noise Ratio: also no
Projects that take longer than an undergrad degree: yes
Are you sure it’s not SNR? Ie the gosh darn backup battery beep?
Ironically this was an undergrad project for me. But I used a laser instead.
I was wondering what the baud rate was too haha! I was hoping he would mention that when he mentioned 5 bytes per sec but nah.
if there was more than one way data transfer then after any incorrect frame was recieved then it could just be rebroadcasted by requesting so. Sending this much video where any incorrect data corrupts it and you have to start again over the course of 5 months almost makes me question its legitimacy, lol.
@@dylan10182000the KCS (Kansas City Standard) that was used for recording data onto cassette tapes was 300 Baud IIRC.
Before watching the video, I thought “it seems like this guy just reinvented dial up”. After watching the video, I can confirm this guy just reinvented dial up. Impressive work.
Its not Dial-up.. its a Dial-Cup 🥁🎉😂 im a lost cause..
omg I love it❤
Even more complicated because it is one way. My man reinvented Commodore 64 audio tape storage
I mean.. yeah. It's a modem.

Bro did what could qualify as a masters thesis type project just for a youtube video. Fucking legend.
This is the masters thesis
Scientists, noble prize winners, teachers and educators all like "So I wrote a 250,000 word thing on why taps are taps."

Yeah, he also ruined his thumbnail imo
ngl i thought you were just gonna connect two 56k modems. Writing the networking code from scratch sounds like an enormous pain. Huge props!
56k would definitely not get through that intact

hi otto
Thanks!
you should write something that eventually leads to you getting whitelisted on a minecraft server i think thatd be a fun and original idea
Oawhhah I thought you were killed nice to know yiu are still alive
When will you come back?
The fact that this man actually re-invented dial-up, by himself, having never lived in that era is a genuine testament to how smart he is.
However, BRO YOU JUST RE-INVENTED DIAL UP!
it's not that impressive

You'll have to wait a while for the next upload though.
seeing this man trashing the same networking book i'm studying rn then proceed to build modem from scratch, he is too powerful
I did something close to this as a college assignment in 2011 or so. I admittedly didn't use a fishing line with paper cups, instead I used a PC's headphone jack connected to another PC's microphone jack. I used NRZ bit encoding convoluted with a square root raised cosine pulse modulated in large carrier AM at about 5 kHz with quadrature modulation (can't remember how much since I just randomly chose a modulating frequency), and on OSI layer 2 I used framing with Hamming code.
Protip: MATLAB and GNU Octave are god tier at coding signal processing systems like that.
What kind of rates did you get?
@@Helsinki-Vice I honestly can't remember these rates, but I sort of remember my physical bandwidth being 4 kHz or so.
You know it’s gonna be a great video when the algorithm recommends it at 700 views. This one’s gonna blow up lol
the writing is on the wall on this one for sure. so glad the algorithm picked this up!
My recommended page is full of small channels like these. After seeing multiple of those channels blow up throughout the years, this channel definitely has potential if the author can come up with a few similar crazy videos.
I'm here at 4k views. Didn't even know it was a small channel until I saw the sub count.
oh absolutely, this video has got everything to be a successful front page video
@@tweer64 I'm here at 8K just 2 hours later.
gotta love the perseverance to work on a project for 3 years that ultimately has no appeal in video format. this isn't a video about sending a video over fishing line. this is a video about failing to do that for 3 years and doing it ANYWAY
Huge props brother this really is inspiring
The fact you chose to do this in 1080p is wild.
the fact that UA-cam has it only for premium users is even wilder.
I'm from phone.

local francophone rediscovers why the dial-up protocol was thrown in the trash like the hot garbage that it is
This would be so much cooler if the string actually did something. With how loud the speaker seems to be, the sound is loud enough to drown out anything comin from the string.
i’m a close to 40 year old IT worker and I can honestly say this video gives me a very strong feeling of ”the kids are all right”
Haha, me too but I didn't realize it until you mentioned it. Er, 40yo software developer, but close enough.
@@WarttHog we're all just shoveling bits into the cloud furnace brother
Yeah, setting up to do something fun, but stupid, suffering through the process and archiving the result while screaming "I can't f*cking believe this bs worked" is kinda unmatched feeling
Yes, everything about this video is very original.
This is so cringe how there's so many zoomers that are just copying the entire style from successful UA-camrs, but thankfully this one is not like that!

It's been shown that you can successfully connect dialup modems through shoelaces soaked in salt water with the right equipment. If only you had a second fishing line, you could probably even run a DSL link across them.
That seems like a very efficient method of recycling XD
Yeah, Dialup had such a ridiculous amount of redundancy built into it, it was insane.
I'm not at all surprised. Early on, modems involved analog couplers where you'd put the regular phone receiver on to transmit and receive the data. It kind of worked, but there was a definite limit in terms of how fast that could go.
@@SmallSpoonBrigade Pretty sure those early ones you're describing were like 300 bps/bauds, which is around 30 bytes/sec when actually using it. (Source: wevolver [insert the word .com here yourself so youtube doesn't delete my comment for having a link]/article/baud-rates)
That's still 6 times faster than the Tin Can Phone system!
If I recall, the salt water string experiment was carried out with ADSL and might even be more likely to work with ADSL (which uses crazy low-frequency RF techniques) than with dialup (which requires a working audio channel).
@@TerrisLeonis It doesn't need an "audio" channel, because an "audio channel" is still purely a data stream
The only difference between them is the data format.
Bro somehow was making a video while having the video.

Mais serieusement comment il a fait pour rester a l'interieur et pas a voir mal au orreille
this is the weirdest highest dedication project i could've never imagined
Dude took three years off of content creation to make one single video uploaded over literal string and cans just because he can. What a madlad.
This whole thing kind of reminds me of how Samsung set up their app to be able to transfer stuff from one Android to a newer Android phone. The phone essentially throws up a Wi-Fi hotspot and then through sound transmits the information needed for the other phone to connect to that hotspot and then the transfer takes place over that hotspot. When I saw that, I thought it was a really cool idea to use sound to transfer a small amount of data over to another device, but uploading a whole video is taking this to another level.
Finally, UA-cam shows underrated channels in ny feed.
This is truly, one of the coolest videos i have watched for the past few months.
I have an abet accredited physics degree and am an electrical engineer. This video IS FKN AWESOME!!! People will not appreciate the pain. Love this, wish more people had your drive! I spent 2 years creating a complicated program for a government agency from scratch on a project with very little to go on. But.. when it finally works bro!!!!!!! When you finally find that thing!!!! I admire your commitment.
This is the kind of shit we like, a random guy from nowhere comming up with a weird ass idea
kind've a shame we're only going to be getting a juicy video like this once every 3 years from this chap.
i love how at the end he cuts it as quick as possible so he can save an extra few hours of upload time
Yes, i could literally HEAR the sacrifices you had to take for this to be super small in filesize. My ears were greeted by audio compression artifacts i haven't heard since 15 years. But at least now i know why x3 I guess it was worth it. GOOD JOB, dude!!
I ways always fascinated with turning Data into "hard bit rock" and saving data as analog sound on what ever audio storage medium. And i always admired the technology behind it. Even if it is of course super slow but screw it, for package radio for example, when you send text from one radio to another, this works amazingly well since it is very little data that is transmitted. Pictures and videos are of course more complex but to a certain size still doable. SWEET! you even built a sound proofing box for your oversized "acoustic coupler" :) I'm surprised the fishing line and cups didn't swallow too much frequencies of the binary audio signal. It's a miracle this even worked at all.
Still more productive than what I've been doing the past couple years 😎👉👉
Saaaaame
This is pretty cool, although it made me wonder if it's possible to run fiber optics over fishing line. And essentially it's not. At least not for more than a couple feet from what I can tell. Although, there probably is some short distance that it could be made to work if wrapped in foil. The difference in fibers makes a pretty big difference.
Same 😅
There's a program on Linux called `aplay` which will play any file into sound.
You can even play your RAM.
Sounds like a security leak waiting to happen.
@@WarttHog funnily enough, low level learning made a video about it (not using aplay, but sound/radiation emitted by ram (iirc) )

People say you invented dial up but you're already half way to inventing wifi.
"i cant steal anyones code because suprisingly no one has done this before" this man does not know what dial up is
or Kansas City Standard, which is arguably the same as dial-up
This is an amazing concept wrapped in the editing equivalent of nails on a chalkboard
I feel like I can’t concentrate. Feel like I’m watching TikTok and it won’t stop scrolling to the next video that cuts a million times in 30 seconds lol
This is art. Completely underrated content.
Use a guitar next, my phone speaker transfers signal to the pickup through the cable and into my amp for a preset effect built into the amps software. You could have a speaker signal through a guitar and into an interface then into the PC. Now you know how to do it, the possibilities are endless
say what again
They're saying there's a guitar amp that has effects software built-in that you activate by playing a sound from your phone and holding the phone's speaker next to the pickups on the guitar while it's plugged into the amp. @mildmixchintu1717

Great job, i honestly didn't expect it to work and assumed that you just posted the fail attempt. True dedication to the experiment to wait 3 years on it!
This is genuinely impressive. Genuinely I would have scrapped this project like a week in after getting sick of it not working. But this dude dedicated 3 years to it and actually got it to work. I gotta wonder how long he initially thought this project was going to take. Like this has to be the best example of a weekend project turning into someone whole life.
