1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,320
oh my what is going on that's your embarrassing tech story wow what a

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:10,320
perfect segue hey we should ask hey I got an idea Sammy oh I just came up with

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,040
this we should ask other people at line speed your group what their most

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:21,040
embarrassing tech stories are maybe they did something that dumb come on so I

5
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:26,800
feel bad now that wasn't are you okay no Sammy I think my most embarrassing tech

6
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,680
story is when you had me on ShortCircuit and I warned you that my German was

7
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:37,120
bad when you were reviewing AI glasses and we just we did it anyway I hear you

8
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:41,520
saying that that was embarrassing for you but I just want you to know that to me

9
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:46,160
it was it was charming did you see the comments from people who speak proper

10
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:49,320
German Sean don't feel bad you only lived in Germany for eight years or something

11
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:55,000
I know you have an embarrassing tech story why I have two one when Ariana pushed

12
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:02,080
me down the stairs and I don't know if this counts as embarrassing as more of

13
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:08,760
an admission of crime I did like borrow the RAM from my school's computer like

14
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:13,800
they had a school lab a computer lab well that is super embarrassing and then

15
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,800
we'll cringe well the embarrassing part is because I just profited all the money

16
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:23,120
after I sold it that's just fraud thank you and you you came out on top in that

17
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:29,960
situation yeah I made money actually that's not all my computer had the most

18
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:36,800
RAM out of everyone else's computer so I won twice I'm imagining okay here's

19
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:43,720
hear me out okay I'm imagining you've been in a situation where you like you're

20
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:49,040
young you invited a girl over to hang out and your idea of a good time was

21
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,920
building a PC and so you're trying to put the GPU in but she's like what's the

22
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,220
problem you're like it just won't just give me a second she's like and you're

23
00:01:57,220 --> 00:02:01,040
like no and then she's like I'm out of here I'm going to the other cool PC

24
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:06,400
builder guys house and then she like walks out and you're like no that story

25
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:11,680
is pretty close but it wasn't a GPU I have to go now I can tell a past work

26
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,880
story about Elijah oh no because you guys I'm not gonna know which one you're

27
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:21,320
talking about cuz you guys work together you worked with Elijah yeah yeah you

28
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:26,320
give us an embarrassing story about Elijah Elijah there was a time where he

29
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:32,040
was building a server for a client and a girl no it was for a client okay no

30
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,440
girls we were throwing everything together we were trying to get it just

31
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,480
started for the first time couldn't get it figured out couldn't get it figured

32
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:45,280
out and he's like what the heck is going on I ended up coming over helped

33
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,120
disassemble what he had put together found that there was a standoff sitting

34
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:54,480
right in the pins of the RAM and that was shorting things out and it was not

35
00:02:54,480 --> 00:03:00,600
going well standoff was in the pins yeah like it was a this was in the thermal

36
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:06,400
take case that we were building the servers in and the RAM can't remember

37
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,880
what client but the RAM sticks were above the CPU socket on this particular

38
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,280
board like it was one of the stand it was one of the standoffs that you have to

39
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:18,480
screw in it was a not so normally this standoff right here but because of the

40
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,920
way that the board was configured the RAM was up here so the standoff was still

41
00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:26,160
there and it was shorting things out in the back and I know that he was

42
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,440
struggling for under the rain yeah exactly why didn't you know that was

43
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:35,080
there Elijah this is memories gone I do not remember this was before the fall

44
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:41,240
okay before the fall oh of your previous company no before the fall of

45
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:47,760
Elijah tell me it better be so bad I'm one of my earliest computers we like

46
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,720
just got in the CD-ROM yeah and for whatever reason I was trying to move

47
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:57,240
to a different computer and I tried to hot swap it but it was the IDE CD-ROM so

48
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,800
when I pulled the power out I just short circuited everything and it's a big

49
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,080
spark and everything would dark is anyone in the room my brother laughed at

50
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,720
me that does sound like the worst if there's anyone that you don't want to

51
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,560
laugh at you well that's kind of what they're for though as well that's kind

52
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:19,120
of his main job in life really yeah so embarrassing but within the bounds of

53
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:26,000
acceptability pretty much a childhood tech thing yeah so I I guess this would

54
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,800
have been high school so not so like super childhood but I was taking a

55
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,840
computer repair class in school and we had gone through just the whole

56
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:38,920
disassembly of a computer taking all the parts out and I decided to go show my

57
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:43,240
parents when I got home be like this is the processor I took everything apart

58
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,560
took the processor out and like this is what actually drives everything tried to

59
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,760
put it back together and it wouldn't start oh and your parents are like what

60
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:57,880
are we paying for well they said that you better fix it otherwise yeah it was

61
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:06,200
your family computer okay that has some stakes to it now now mom and dad can't

62
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:11,240
get work done didn't you guys didn't file your taxes that year I guess that was

63
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,560
it might maybe everything was on paper still a back then I got it back together

64
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:20,760
but I what I was a console gamer in high school okay Xbox guy subscribe to

65
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:25,640
Xbox magazine played Starcraft on Xbox I don't know where I oh I did some

66
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,800
piece of gaming I really liked Starcraft I knew that Starcraft 2 is gonna come

67
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:34,240
out this is in 2007 okay wait did you actually play Starcraft on Xbox I don't

68
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,900
think it was on Xbox was it as I said that I thought that I'm like I don't

69
00:05:37,900 --> 00:05:43,960
think it's on Xbox either but what do you you're saying your console gamer but you like Starcraft had a PC we had a great PC in my house but my stepdad

70
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:49,040
lorded over it and I like barely got to play it but I did play Starcraft and I

71
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,360
was excited for the sequel so when I went to university I was in the army and

72
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:58,280
they gave you some money towards your supplies and I was an engineering student

73
00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:03,120
so I needed a particular strength of computer to be able to do use like you

74
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,280
know modeling programs and stuff like that so I got $500 towards a computer I

75
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:16,000
tried to get my whole computer written off but they only give me 500 bucks I think but the point is I bought this like Dell XPS that was like over $2,300

76
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,680
Canadian it was very expensive it was the first time I ever bought a PC but my

77
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,840
roommate and like close friend from high school was through and through PC gamer

78
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:29,680
and he was just flabbergasted he was like I can't believe I can't believe you

79
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,480
spent that much money on a laptop like how was that possible it's not even a

80
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,600
gaming laptop I didn't really have a sense of like what things cost well it

81
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:42,240
was a gaming laptop you're just a kid in the army and they paid for some of it and

82
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:48,600
also I had come back from basic training where they paid me a salary so I like I had some cash so I was like yeah whatever and I bought it Blizzard being

83
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,240
Blizzard took so long to make Starcraft 2 by the time that game came out I had a

84
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:57,240
different PC I didn't even use that laptop for that I basically played Team

85
00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:02,880
Fortress 2 with it Starcraft 2 when did Starcraft 2 come out it finally came

86
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:07,400
out like in 2010 or something like that like way later wow I totally every time

87
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,760
I see you I forget you were in the army it was a pretty short time honestly I

88
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:15,000
should and you do judo jujitsu people should just be more scared of you I

89
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,160
think you've seen 1% of James you've never been embarrassed about tech I will

90
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:25,520
say I will say my oh yeah okay then my next PC was a PC that I you know PC

91
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:31,320
part picker built out I almost got one of those six core AMD CPUs back when it

92
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,680
was like no one's buying AMD right now but they just had more cores than any

93
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:40,520
than Intel Intel didn't even have six cores and then the people of the forums

94
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:49,080
I don't know if it was the last hectic form I actually just don't remember someone on internet forums talked me out of it I almost got those like worst AMD

95
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,800
CPUs ever before Ryzen yeah I mean the wood would be like I do I don't need

96
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:59,200
your yeah yeah AMD was pretty embarrassing for a while there if you

97
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,640
had an AMD processor at all it's like oh it's enough hmm well I'm glad you

98
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:11,920
survived I've only ever been perfectly competent with technology my whole life

99
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:17,520
so no embarrassing story sorry to report it's cuz I yeah it's cuz I only use

100
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:25,740
Apple products we live together and we had my that same PC that didn't have an

101
00:08:25,740 --> 00:08:30,560
AMD processor was connected to our TV in the living room and we set it all up

102
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,000
and I remember I think it was your dad who came over and Andrew was just in his

103
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,960
glory showing him the setup and I I swear you said something very close to

104
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:44,680
note the cable management you were like specifically show them how we like had

105
00:08:44,680 --> 00:08:47,840
a route of the cables around the living to be discreet I just remember being like

106
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:57,280
nerd alert your dad's in the cable man he's in two things being tidy and clean

107
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,800
in the house yes so that's pretty embarrassing that you cared about what

108
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:06,040
your dad thought do you have an embarrassing story embarrassing or funny

109
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:11,080
story related to tech I got I wanted an iPod for Christmas one year and instead

110
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:15,000
I got an eye river which was like a cheap South Korean knockoff I took it to

111
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,920
school and everyone thought it was really stupid an eye river everyone's got

112
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,560
iPods and everyone's super cool and then you show up to school with that well

113
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:27,760
not that I had a nicer looking one they don't have a picture of it it wasn't

114
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,240
any of these hold on honestly Adam I think I look at you a little bit

115
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:37,880
differently now I don't think I would want to be friends with you in high school thank you for sharing that part of yourself with us

116
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:44,840
namaste you were at a dance event and you tripped over a cord and I'm unplugged

117
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:53,360
the speakers like I've I've I've walked over cables tripped and unplugged

118
00:09:53,360 --> 00:10:01,600
speakers and sound goes out I room turns around looks at me and Sean I haven't

119
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,840
known you long enough to know whether you're being sarcastic or not no this

120
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,560
is true what how could I how did I just like guess an event that happened in your

121
00:10:10,560 --> 00:10:14,800
life perfectly you with the one thing I know about you which is that you do

122
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:22,400
dance yes you were absolutely spot on with it and how did that make you feel

123
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,240
when that happened that might potentially multiple times it happened

124
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:31,040
multiple times and it was embarrassing and it's kind of running joke now well

125
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,800
first of all why are why are there why were there cables important cables on

126
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,000
the dance floor I don't know honestly maybe I wasn't looking it was dark you

127
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,560
know there's lights everywhere and people are moving and I still don't know

128
00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:51,520
whether I believe you this is my first time appearing on camera oh do you think

129
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,520
that you have to live for the video no that's one tone with everything that we

130
00:10:55,520 --> 00:11:07,760
do like with everything would you like a Floatplane embarrassing technology we

131
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:13,600
shouldn't be using it it's not right it's unnatural I'm asking for embarrassing

132
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,600
tech stories I'm Brad I'm new I feel like my biggest tech embarrassment is that

133
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:23,120
my audio video desyncs on my TV soundbar constantly and sometimes I just let it

134
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:27,680
happen when I'm too tired oh my god I know it's a psycho move but it's that's

135
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:31,520
crazy happens so often lately and I just like I'm running out of patience fixing

136
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,760
it I'm just like good I just won't look at them won't look at the mouths that's

137
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,720
I people's eyes I feel like that doesn't sound that embarrassing to me because as

138
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,720
an owner of a sonos soundbar it's just been broken for like over a year and I

139
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,720
just I plugged into one time it didn't work and I'm like I get the soundbar in

140
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:52,960
this story is also sonos so this so I guess it's embarrassing for sonos can

141
00:11:52,960 --> 00:12:02,120
you include that Sammy why not so I have a Bluetooth I have Bluetooth speakers at

142
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:07,440
home you have your hard Bluetooth speakers okay we all got blue two sometimes we put on some tunes in the morning when we're getting when I'm getting ready to

143
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:12,440
go and Shay works from home on actually that's too much information sometimes my

144
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:22,360
partner has a job not at office and so I put on tunes on the music box and then

145
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,960
I go down to my car which I also connect to using Bluetooth and the one time

146
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:30,920
actually several times I've been driving up the driveway which goes right past my

147
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,760
apartment and then for some reason my music stops playing in my car so I go

148
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,000
oh I turn the knob on my on my car stereo nothing goes up I'm like oh my

149
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,560
sonos like muted on my phone for some reason crank it on my phone and it's

150
00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:47,720
just blasting like death metal as loud as it can Shay's like in bed she's like
