"Console hacking 2010"[0][1] - The story and history of the different hacks and security bypasses around the Sony PlayStation 3 gaming console. Absolutely brilliant. [0] https://events.ccc.de/congress/2010/Fahrplan/events/4087.en.... [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KNZsNTPlec

Another great console talk: Breaking the 3DS, from 2015.

Has been a long time since I watched either of these

Rusty Russell - Advanced C Coding For Fun! - A series of crazy tricks that is quite enlightening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEQ3sRakIs0

Tridge - Linux powered coffee roaster. Tridge (of Samba and rsync fame) walks through the process he used to reverse engineer a USB thermometer live during the talk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LQr4At5Z5Q

The first time I watched Simple Made Easy, I didn't like it, even though I'd written quite a few situated programs in my day. A year later, I'd learned Clojure and re-watched it, and it all made so much sense. It's now one of my favorite tech talks.

"Fork Yeah! The Rise and Development of illumos" by Bryan Cantrill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zRN7XLCRhc He starts with a nice history of SunOS and Solaris, goes into open source, then midway through (33:00) he goes into a brutally honest rant against Oracle. Even better is that Oracle was one of the sponsors of the conference.

Great talk by bcantrill.
