Amazing video by Technology Connections. It's a long one, but don't miss his 30 minute angry rant at the end.

For what it's worth, ALL technology connections videos have manually added English closed captions, not auto generated gibberish. It's some of the best captioning work I've ever seen. He actually takes the time to sync them to the auto/video, prevents spoiling jokes/punchlines, and adds an Easter egg at the end of most episodes (usually describing the smooth jazz outro).

You might actually have decent luck using the subtitle translation feature built into YouTube, since it (machine) translates the actual words Alec is saying.

And he's spoken about doing it in part to ensure accessibility for the deaf, which I appreciate immensely as someone who grew up watching time delayed black box captions on whatever my mom was watching

I always flick the subtitles on at the end to see how the jazz is described and how he transcribes his bloopers.

Alec is awesome. The content he makes isn't really my cup of tea, but I recognize that that man has some serious game.

I don't find his videos to be entertaining, but they're so educational that I watch them anyway.
