Early bird: Back To Fax! (Patreon)

Supporters: I'm Replacing the YouTube Comment Section with a '90s Fax Machine

💬 *TO COMMENT ON THIS VIDEO YOU CAN SEND A FAX TO: +1 747 PERIFAX* (7374329)* 📠 #SaveTheFax #UseItOrLoseIt #BackToFax With thanks to http://PCBWay.com - great PCBs from $5! ⓘ *Ignore transmission failures to our vintage fax; it doesn't have ECM which some fax services misinterpret as an error. Your fax worked! Thank you. ⓘ Faxes from withheld numbers not accepted. Sending abusive content via phone system is a crime & will be reported to local police & service provider. The purpose of this video is to raise awareness in a fun way of technologies we may be about to lose, so that we don't. In 2023 UK government removed the requirement for phone companies to support facsimile machines, which means we're at risk of losing if not using a great technology that's more secure & robust than email, and works where there's no Internet. To help the cause I've become intrigued by the idea of receiving comments for such a modern medium as YouTube, via such a soon-to-be obsolete and some say archaic technology as fax, right down to getting an old copper wire POTS (plain old telephone service) landline installed. And to achieve this in the most nostalgic way possible I want to hunt down the exact model Brother or Samsung fax machine I had as a teen when I worked for Amiga music software company The Blue Ribbon Soundworks, and even do a fax repair on it if needed.
