It's been a weird year, wonder if there were still good tech talks in 2020.

Overall I agree with much of the tone that they set and some of the things are long overdue.

Why would that query be censored?

Especially on DDG. I was under the impression that only Google was meddling with your search results.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The founder of DDG was also the founder of a privacy invading company. This has been scrubbed off most parts of the internet.

Edit: changed from spyware to privacy invading

Not sure if this fits the bill, but:

How To Speak by Patrick Winston [1]

I watched this 'talk' on 'how to give talks' last week. It was uploaded at the end of 2019 and recorded 2018 (Patrick Winston passed away in 2019) and it is really good. Anyone who gives talks can learn a few things from this.

I am not sure if this qualifies, but I found the discussion between Scott Hanselman and Dr. David Kellermann on "Effective Remote Teaching with intention and creativity" fascinating:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LaTamAIinc

They mix a number of fairly simple technologies to achieve some really cool new ways to teach remotely.

Also, Scott Hanselman makes a series of well-made videos on "Computer Stuff They Didn't Teach You". His presentation style is down-to-earth, low tech and surprisingly relatable. Check it out!
