I just searched online and was taken aback by the lack of content I could find , there are millions of video for different small niche things by hundred of people which are right and wrong about things but the most I could even find about how chips are made today are the ones explaining how silicon works etc. LTT is the only one which even have a factory video and it is too very censored uninformative and useless for my questions .
1 - I get that light is flashed in binary to code chips but how does it actually fookin work ? What is the machine emmiting this light made up of ? How does this flashing light hold as data forever on chip ?
2 - How was program’s, OSs, Kernal etc loaded on CPU in early days when there were no additional computers to feed it those like today ?
3 - I get internet is light storing information but how ? Fookin HOW ?
4 - How did it all come to be like it is today and ist it possible for one human to even learn how it all works or are we just limited one or two things ? Like cab we only know how to program or how to make hardware but not both or all ?
5 - Do we have to join Intel first or something to learn how most of the things work lol ? Cause the info available online about the software, hardware, skills etc is shit ? Not even RISC-V documentary are available .
Context - Just started learning python and got philosophical to how all things came to be ? Is just making apps or websites even a thing worth learning in the grand scheme of things ? I get that some people is just okay with that but come on have you never thought about how the deep you can go ?
anyway feel free to tell me to stfu and I’m sorry if sub=wrong and will move on request . And as the username suggest I’ll be posting questions as I have them and thanks.
ALSO ELI5 everything please
Some other people have given fine answers to your specific questions, so I won’t go over them again. But I want to make a more general comment on your post as a whole. Please take this in a spirit of care and kindness, because that’s how it’s intended.
I don’t think you appreciate just how much you’ve asked, here. When we’re in the very early stages of learning about something, we’re often handicapped by the fact that we don’t even know how much we don’t know. The real answers to the questions that you asked here, if given in the useful sort of detail that you seem to want, represent a year or more of a Computer Science degree.
There’s actually plenty of good information available for free on the 'net, but as you mentioned, it’s mostly in little bits and pieces, not big chunks. That’s just the nature of things made by hobbyists in their spare time, I’m afraid. You can assemble a detailed working knowledge of a variety of topics in computing, but you’ll need to spend some of your effort as a kind of detective, looking out for words, phrases, and concepts that will help you find the next “nibble” of information.
I may be wrong, but I also get the feeling that you’re relying fairly heavily on YouTube for your searching. However, you’re going to find a lot of the more intermediate and advanced technical discussion happening in text on mailing list archives, forums, and personal websites.
The more structured approach of an introductory textbook may be what you’re looking for. Even though it’s the 21st century, your local library is still a great information resource that you shouldn’t forget about.
When I was a kid in the 80s and 90s, I learned a lot from the Usborne books. They’re still in business and still printing (new and updated) books like the ones I read. Don’t be put off by the “kiddy” theming; if they’re still the same as they were back then, they go into a surprising amount of depth.

The actual books that I read as a kid are now available for free from their website:

A lot of the implementation-specific information won’t be too useful any more, but the history and broad concepts haven’t changed.
Happy trails!
