The boffins over at YouTube are having a bit of retro geek craic this week with a little trick that makes YouTube go retro
We all spend far too much of our day on YouTube as it is, but if you wanted to make it a bit more fun today, you can go fully retro by cracking this code and slapping it into the search bar on YouTube.
Crack the code to go retro: 53 65 61 72 63 68 20 59 6f 75 54 75 62 65 20 66 6f 72 20 2f 20 67 65 65 6b 77 65 65 6b #GeekWeek

If you type '/ geekweek' into the search bar, then you'll get a very old school look ASCII look, which appears a bit something like this:
All very geekish indeed (it reminds us a small bit of the good old days of teletext) but it's still quite a cool easter egg if nothing else.
