I clicked on this link (New in Chrome 67: Desktop Progressive Web Apps, Generic Sensors & BigInts) and had the following thought:
Watching a grown man talk about this stuff is really gross. Like, "unmanly."
Well, back to my next geeky article...

I don't think it's the content or the fact that it's a grown man that is a little bit "off" about this. It's the hand gestures and that smug little half smile. That's what makes you want to deliver a slap upside the head

Looks like he done a sales-training too often; the obsessive compulsive handgestures do not convey any extra information, but it does yell to me "SALESMAN!"

One of the comments succinctly sums it all up: "nipples!"

All of these type of videos are the same, more or less. You have someone, most likely NOT a developer, explain stuff to us. They sometimes make us feel stupid for not already knowing about the Sensor API. I mean, come on! Who doesn't know about the base sensor interface. 
I also did not care for his pronunciation of the word "attribute" @ 2:36.

Maybe it would help use maturial's. 
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Something along that line anyway. What quickly became obvious to me is that they intentionally had an older guy present this stuff as the "younger guy thing" clearly isn't working out these days, in light of recent Facebook history.
IMO, of course...

After some recent comments regarding that by default we don't have auto screen lockout after a few minutes, I thought to post (rant) on here for others inputs.
For me when I can spend often times writing things and sketching out on paper while looking at what is on the screen. Having to move the mouse every few minutes to not have the screens switch off or account lock would be most infuriating.
I know i need to (try better) make sure lock computer when i do leave my desk. Maybe at 80% of doing that now.
If you were in a secure room requiring specific door access, how much would locking the computer needs really be?
Any one use camera presence detection, that I can see as a very helpful thing.

"This much". It would still be required; those two locks protect different things.
There's always the occasional cleaner or repairman coming into the room, tempworkers or even 'consultants'. The keyboard lock prevents unauthorized people from abusing your account or planting malware in your absence.

A camera is not a form of protection, but detection. Also just an overcomplicated form of a door-lock that is already in place.
I assume you would confront any unknown face and ask who he/she is and what they're doing there?

the camera thing i was more thinking that when you leave, instead of simply waiting x minutes, that it can just lock streight away.
Or even better, mixed with those privacy screen peices, that if someone walks up behind you it could dim, warn or even black out the screen until user keys something that. This the opposite swing over increase security.

Brilliant. Next the screen dims as soon as you do some pair-programming.
Overcomplicating stuff makes the environment less secure. People will disable your security just to get work done.
What you are doing is rarely so extremely top-secret that you cannot trust the people in the room to copy your code from looking at the screen. If it is, you need something more than your fancy idea, like the extreme thing known as a "private office".

I found a program that detects a Bluetooth connection and locks the screen if it's not connected - If I walk away from my computer (with my phone in my pocket) the screen locks after a short delay.

Care to share a link ? Does it log you in automatically if you come back (or someone stole your phone ?) ?

It was this (or something similar) - you had to manually unlock when you return

It's nice that the camera shows me who stole my IP, but when it shows up in someone else's product I can figure it out that way too.

When I first started where I am now, the general rule was that if you see a colleague's laptop unlocked you are authorized to send a lunch invitation to everyone on the team via his e-mail and he would have to pay.

One place I worked at (about 15 years ago) introduced a (physical) clear-desk rule (overnight only); but also a rule that leaving your computer unlocked was a sackable offence! After that it was certainly rare to see an unattended, unlocked machine but offences were rarely (never?) reported to management. Management never saw any since they were too terrified of committing the offence themselves they never moved!
