00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:06,219
easy

2
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:27,119
dude a Pacers as720 is a dual interface

3
00:00:24,359 --> 00:00:31,439
SSD with a USB 3.1 type-c connector rated at up to 540 mb per second read

4
00:00:29,759 --> 00:00:35,480
speed check out the link in the video description to learn more Welcome

5
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:38,559
Friends to free geek Vancouver we got a couple of videos planned here but for

6
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:44,680
this first one we're going to be taking you guys on a tour of what it looks like

7
00:00:41,879 --> 00:00:50,920
where they reduce reuse rebuild recycle and resell resell computers electronics

8
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:56,960
and like they have everything here I got like 2.4 GHz a 2.11 b Wireless I got a

9
00:00:54,680 --> 00:01:03,280
Sony wman amfm TV is that a jam boox this thing was

10
00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:08,640
never any good a whole bin of circuit boards woo cuz why not so let's have a

11
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:12,000
look around first off we have the Data Destruction station so this thing I

12
00:01:10,759 --> 00:01:14,920
don't actually know what this is called probably just a press I don't know it

13
00:01:13,799 --> 00:01:19,720
probably has a more technical name than that but oh well basically you just pull this thing down it punctures through

14
00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:24,880
your hard drive like what Linus has on display listen to

15
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:26,840
this what's left of the platters inside

16
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:31,360
so this is Monitor sorting land you can see we've got oh it's a 19-in VGA and

17
00:01:29,119 --> 00:01:35,159
DVI but how do we know it works so this is cool they've actually got a KVM setup

18
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:41,920
here and then they've just got a test machine here that allows them to run the

19
00:01:37,159 --> 00:01:43,759
monitors for I think it is 30 minutes or

20
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:47,280
something along those lines and then they can determine are they working are

21
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:50,280
they not and decide whether they end up in the store here we have small

22
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:55,799
dismantle and circuit board preparation basically what they do here is take things apart that are small so you have

23
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:59,640
a lot of like motherboard batteries you have little motors for different things

24
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:02,880
like hard drives you have magnetic coils for for different things and all this

25
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:06,640
kind of stuff gets prepared because you're looting certain valuable things

26
00:02:05,159 --> 00:02:10,920
off of it and then circuit board preparation is for stuff that goes into

27
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:14,280
here because these get recycled where they take out the gold and the platinum

28
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:19,720
and all the valuable things off the board and make some money off of it to

29
00:02:16,519 --> 00:02:22,480
fund free geek this is PC dismantle land

30
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:27,440
there's a few rules no lose side padels ever anywhere and I have definitely had

31
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:31,040
this problem at our office so uh I totally get it so this is the pile of

32
00:02:29,239 --> 00:02:34,239
all the compu that we've actually dismantled most of today so you guys are

33
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:39,800
going to be able to check that out in our Vlog we've got Nikki V taken apart

34
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:43,319
okay not like that we are not barbarians Nikki ve uh so basically you sort

35
00:02:41,959 --> 00:02:46,879
everything into

36
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:52,519
aluminum steel

37
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:57,720
scrap copper

38
00:02:52,519 --> 00:03:02,120
CPUs check that out RAM circuit

39
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:04,159
boards motherboards oh a f fence my

40
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:10,400
fence oh thank you Dennis good job

41
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:14,280
Dennis and Optical and whatever this is

42
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:16,640
drives the Bui 230 so this is component

43
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:22,319
disassembly you get stuff like routers Optical drives speakers whatever and

44
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:25,440
then take them to this table over here where you can see this one's even

45
00:03:23,799 --> 00:03:29,159
partway through assembly this was our disassembly this was a tape drive which

46
00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:33,480
are actually pretty expensive but it's broken so it's getting taken apart take

47
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:36,840
things out like the like the magnets and whatnot strip them down into raw

48
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:41,120
materials where we have steel and plastic over there and then we have

49
00:03:38,799 --> 00:03:45,159
circuit boards up here which are taken for their copper gold or platinum or

50
00:03:43,799 --> 00:03:52,680
whatever and then Steel's just taken for raw steel here they're recycling by uh

51
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,680
yeah straight up recycling I

52
00:03:55,439 --> 00:04:04,360
guess in here we've got memory land so this is where they sort and test all of

53
00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:08,799
the RAM from the disassembly station so you can see they've got this this is so

54
00:04:06,079 --> 00:04:14,560
cool this like wall mounted memory testing system that they got here ddr2

55
00:04:11,519 --> 00:04:16,600
and DDR3 and then they sorted into all

56
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:21,199
the different working capacities and speeds this is actually more RAM than I

57
00:04:18,919 --> 00:04:25,120
have ever seen in one place anywhere in my life they have some cool stuff in

58
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:31,320
here like they've got all these FB dims so this is older server memory um I mean

59
00:04:27,919 --> 00:04:34,280
check this out they've I remember these

60
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:38,479
ocz Reaper Edition now with heat pipe cooling everything is so well organized

61
00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:42,440
and documented here it is so cool so there's like this awesome chart of like

62
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:46,720
here's all the different types of RAM pretty much pretty much ever the blank

63
00:04:44,919 --> 00:04:53,720
spot for ddr4 I suspect they don't get a lot of scrap ddr4 uh so this is hard drive so RAM is

64
00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:56,800
right behind you lus just walked you guys through that one this is hard drive

65
00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:00,280
so they have these like custommade wooden hard drive holders which are

66
00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:03,960
actually pretty sick they use them at all their stations they kind of

67
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:07,400
zombified their computer so they have SATA power and data coming out of the

68
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:11,280
front so they can hook up as many drives as they want this station is the wiping

69
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:15,840
station they run Derek's botin nuke and just wipe the drive so much that someone

70
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:19,800
wouldn't realistically be able to very easily get the data off of it then it

71
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:23,120
goes to blank drive so once it's done being wiped comes down here to blank

72
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:28,520
there isn't that many blank ones right now there's just a 200 gig IDE then it

73
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:31,199
goes up into in the installation station where they have the same kind of

74
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:35,440
zombified computers with cables hanging out the front and they install Ubuntu

75
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:40,280
right now they're thinking about moving to Mint I supported that move um so

76
00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:44,360
maybe they'll actually do that and then they install the same thing on all these

77
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:48,960
drives so it's free open- source software which they support a lot cuz

78
00:05:46,479 --> 00:05:53,639
things that are cheap are good for them um and then these are prepped and ready

79
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:55,080
to go to the system setup area we have

80
00:05:53,639 --> 00:06:00,800
what Taran and John are currently working on which is actually the final setup of well almost the final setup of

81
00:05:58,759 --> 00:06:04,039
one of the systems you take note of what's in it uh if it's actually

82
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:09,280
functioning properly you do stuff like a stress test you make sure that it's clean you take note of how many slots

83
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:14,919
are there for different things write down your name give the system a name

84
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:17,560
whatnot and then that's basic QC it has

85
00:06:14,919 --> 00:06:22,720
one more round of QC right after that before it goes up and into the store

86
00:06:19,599 --> 00:06:24,400
what what what what what what no but

87
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:28,960
seriously welcome to the thrift shop so this is where all the refurbished stuff

88
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:32,039
from out there ends up so in here you can buy

89
00:06:30,199 --> 00:06:37,039
well pretty much anything that you saw out there except peac meal or whole

90
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:42,639
systems and I think they sell themselves a little bit short here I mean we have

91
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:47,880
more types of RAM and CPUs available please ask for assistance uh yeah they

92
00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:50,759
do we have definitely seen it not everyone wants to buy Bare components

93
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:55,240
though and they've actually got a wide variety of different systems everything

94
00:06:52,479 --> 00:06:59,240
from like Core 2 Duos that are 50 bucks or you can actually just work uh a few

95
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,800
hours here as a volunteer and you can take take one of these puppies home all

96
00:07:01,039 --> 00:07:09,479
the way up to more expensive stuff like this Mac Pro with uh dual quad core xon

97
00:07:07,039 --> 00:07:13,840
or this Intel Core i7 actually fairly capable gaming rig all for pretty

98
00:07:11,479 --> 00:07:18,080
reasonable prices so that is how Luke performed so well in the last scrapyard

99
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:23,800
Wars there's some other very cool stuff in the store that's probably not for

100
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:25,879
sale like this uh vintage FedEx water

101
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:31,440
cooled computers I mean that looks like I think that's a not a TDX it's an ndx

102
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:36,840
or something like that from danger Den now defunct I mean look at this thing

103
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:44,759
look at this look at this stuff it's unbelievable there like the pesh mode in

104
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:48,199
here I like the

105
00:07:44,759 --> 00:07:50,720
mode this is this predates the AOL

106
00:07:48,199 --> 00:07:55,000
CD they have other stuff up here as well that aren't just normal computers

107
00:07:52,360 --> 00:08:00,479
including this which is a up to 100t range 256bit AES encrypted Wireless

108
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:05,199
mechanical keyboard with cherry black switches on it which is actually pretty

109
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:10,000
sick and it's just under a 100 bucks which is badass they have like shows and

110
00:08:07,919 --> 00:08:13,759
stuff so you can get the office they have the first four seasons of the

111
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:17,960
office they have some games over behind me there's individual component stuff

112
00:08:15,759 --> 00:08:22,080
like Optical drives behind the desk you can buy things like motherboards and

113
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:25,039
CPUs you can pretty much get hooked up but you might have noticed the laptops

114
00:08:23,639 --> 00:08:30,080
in the thrift store we never showed where those came from this is the laptop

115
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:34,440
lab this is actually one of the big money makers for free geek not to say

116
00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:38,919
that it's a for-profit society I'm just saying that they have to keep the lights

117
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:41,640
on and the bills paid somehow and this

118
00:08:38,919 --> 00:08:47,080
department is a big part of it so in here they've got their uh well this is

119
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:51,880
all the we know there's stuff wrong with this this is the issues laptops over

120
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:58,079
here these are the ones that are ready to build so ready to replace batteries

121
00:08:54,959 --> 00:09:01,040
uh replace RAM replace drives or maybe

122
00:08:58,079 --> 00:09:06,880
just be uh thrown out as E-Waste like this pretty ba looking Panasonic uh

123
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:09,640
rugged computer here this over here is testing stations where you can see

124
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:14,040
they're using you know industry standard tools like mem test for example to make

125
00:09:11,959 --> 00:09:20,279
sure that everything's going hunky dory over here and then once it's all done in

126
00:09:16,839 --> 00:09:23,399
this room check this out my friends this

127
00:09:20,279 --> 00:09:26,279
over here is actually an incoming pile

128
00:09:23,399 --> 00:09:31,640
but this over here is the stacks on stacks on stacks on stacks of finished

129
00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:37,160
laptop computers that are ready to go out to the store or to people who need

130
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:40,839
them speaking of actually nothing because I'm in a different place doing a

131
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:45,640
different thing ting.com Ting is the mobile carrier that actually has a phone

132
00:09:44,279 --> 00:09:50,040
which if you think about it kind of makes sense I mean if their entire business is providing people with phones

133
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:53,800
you'd think people would be able to take those phones dial a number and speak to

134
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:57,480
an actual person yes my friends an actual person will pick up the phone and

135
00:09:55,480 --> 00:10:01,320
talk to you if you have any kind of issue so let's let's say you don't have

136
00:09:59,959 --> 00:10:06,000
an issue let say you're not on Ting yet and you want to know if it will make any

137
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:09,600
sense head over to lin.com we've got that Linked In the video description and

138
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:14,880
try out their savings calculator Ting charges you only for the airtime that

139
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:18,839
you use and the average Ting bill is only $24 a month if you use their

140
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:23,560
savings calculator you enter your last few bills on your existing plan and you

141
00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:29,240
find out if you will save money on Ting and even better than that they will pay

145
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:43,880
okay so that's pretty much it for today we're going to have a vlog coming up

146
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:47,639
showing everyone working at all the stations here at free geek and uh for

147
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:52,120
now though we're actually setting up to shoot the W show live here at free geek

148
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:56,839
hopefully we have all of our equipment and there are no technical

149
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:59,600
difficulties yeah right but uh I'm not

150
00:10:56,839 --> 00:11:02,160
going to count necessarily on that so thanks for watching guys if you

wondering what to watch next maybe check out uh I always struggle with with this

158
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:35,600
what's a video we did recently uh there was the update to the I don't want to

159
00:11:34,519 --> 00:11:42,639
say the name of itate seven Gamers one CPU update yes
