You are more then welcome to try your hand at a video exploring and checking out websites. I think it'll be nice to try out something new.

I found this search engine: https://wiby.me/ . Its some of that super old school web searching action.

If you're looking for a "Wikipedia" of old/vintage/retro/classic/obscure computer components, chip and micro controllers, check out this site. It is community-contributed obviously, but it seems within 3 or so years they have added so many things to the site, it's like they have all the info and resources you need for your next retro PC build.

Here's a random website from a YouTuber where it is capable of running on browsers as old as Internet Explorer 3.0 from my knowledge. No HTTPS of course, otherwise the old browsers won't load the site. Also an excellent test site to check if your Windows FW 3.11 or your 90s Macs is able to connect to the WWW.

I found this cool site that let's you listen to local radio stations anywhere in the world!
Just pick a place in the world and you might hear music from that country or ramblings of some random old guys on AM radio.

hasn't been updated in a while, but the guy behind one of my favorite youtube channels, Cathode Ray Dude, has a website with some pretty interesting articles. You can also access it via some pretty old machines, as it does not force you to use https. https://gekk.info/

This one has a lot of interesting time wasters in it and some good music.

Any radio nerds out there? I'd recommend looking at this site. Have known about it for a long time and I am surprised it is still up and being maintained.
