If the idea of just chilling out and appreciating old tech with a slick presentation sounds good to you, you might like https://youtube.com/@PosyMusic
I know it's a cliche to say a Youtuber is unique, but Posy really is quite incredible. He's certainly not the only one making videos about vintage 80s technology but his great videography, calm tone, odd manner of speech, occasional goofy humor, and beautiful custom-made audio soundtracks make for a mesmerizing presentation.
+1 for LGR. Also adding TechMoan to that list.
It's a shame that Druaga1 stopped posting on YouTube because he should be on that list.
CelGenStudios and Usagi Electric are good channels for vintage computing stuff.
Posy seconded. He's weird (and I'm certain he would agree), but in a fun and interesting way. The music used in his videos is composed and recorded by himself, btw.
A recommendation of mine is Bad Obsession Motorsport. Two men in a shed put a Celica engine in an Austin Mini. So far it's taken 12 years and 41 episodes. Some astonishing engineering going there.
If you're into cars, I'll also recommend "driving 4 answers". Very well researched and presented videos about engine technology.
Seconding Bad Obsession. Not only is their build quality outstanding, their video production efforts are top notch. Their dedication to the concept and execution of Project Binky is nothing short of amazing.
I got a little less interested in the videos once they got to the trimming out the car part. I liked when they were building the car and were doing (what seems to me) like excellent work. then they got to the dashboard and it became what ever goes. like the dashboard clock in the latest video...

He's just Dutch :)
He's very Dutch indeed. His English is also full of dutch-isms that maybe only dutch people recognize. I'm Dutch, but live in Canada. Watching his videos make me miss my home country.

A couple more, adjacent:
Ahoy (if you like Amiga and old video games, I cannot recommend enough)
Ben Eater
Majulaar
Tantacrul
And of course Veritasium with the consistently super interesting science videos.
Majulaar's Ultima retrospective is one the highlights of my subscription feed
Ahoy is essential just for how well produced their deep dive content is. The great art and music really elevate it from a "Watch something for an hour and learn some computing history" to "Have an experience for an hour"
