WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.320 oh my what is going on that's your embarrassing tech story wow what a 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 00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:14.040 this we should ask other people at line speed your group what their most 00:00:14.040 --> 00:00:21.040 embarrassing tech stories are maybe they did something that dumb come on so I 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 00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:30.680 story is when you had me on ShortCircuit and I warned you that my German was 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 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 00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:46.160 it was it was charming did you see the comments from people who speak proper 00:00:46.160 --> 00:00:49.320 German Sean don't feel bad you only lived in Germany for eight years or something 00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:55.000 I know you have an embarrassing tech story why I have two one when Ariana pushed 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 00:01:02.080 --> 00:01:08.760 an admission of crime I did like borrow the RAM from my school's computer like 00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:13.800 they had a school lab a computer lab well that is super embarrassing and then 00:01:13.800 --> 00:01:17.800 we'll cringe well the embarrassing part is because I just profited all the money 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 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:29.960 situation yeah I made money actually that's not all my computer had the most 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:06.400 builder guys house and then she like walks out and you're like no that story 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 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 00:02:15.920 --> 00:02:21.320 talking about cuz you guys work together you worked with Elijah yeah yeah you 00:02:21.320 --> 00:02:26.320 give us an embarrassing story about Elijah Elijah there was a time where he 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 00:02:32.040 --> 00:02:35.440 girls we were throwing everything together we were trying to get it just 00:02:35.440 --> 00:02:39.480 started for the first time couldn't get it figured out couldn't get it figured 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 00:02:45.480 --> 00:02:49.120 disassemble what he had put together found that there was a standoff sitting 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 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 00:03:00.600 --> 00:03:06.400 take case that we were building the servers in and the RAM can't remember 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:09.880 what client but the RAM sticks were above the CPU socket on this particular 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 00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:18.480 screw in it was a not so normally this standoff right here but because of the 00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:21.920 way that the board was configured the RAM was up here so the standoff was still 00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:26.160 there and it was shorting things out in the back and I know that he was 00:03:26.160 --> 00:03:30.440 struggling for under the rain yeah exactly why didn't you know that was 00:03:30.440 --> 00:03:35.080 there Elijah this is memories gone I do not remember this was before the fall 00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:41.240 okay before the fall oh of your previous company no before the fall of 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 00:03:47.760 --> 00:03:51.720 just got in the CD-ROM yeah and for whatever reason I was trying to move 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 00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:01.800 when I pulled the power out I just short circuited everything and it's a big 00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:05.080 spark and everything would dark is anyone in the room my brother laughed at 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 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 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:19.120 of his main job in life really yeah so embarrassing but within the bounds of 00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:26.000 acceptability pretty much a childhood tech thing yeah so I I guess this would 00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:29.800 have been high school so not so like super childhood but I was taking a 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:33.840 computer repair class in school and we had gone through just the whole 00:04:33.840 --> 00:04:38.920 disassembly of a computer taking all the parts out and I decided to go show my 00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:43.240 parents when I got home be like this is the processor I took everything apart 00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:47.560 took the processor out and like this is what actually drives everything tried to 00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:51.760 put it back together and it wouldn't start oh and your parents are like what 00:04:51.760 --> 00:04:57.880 are we paying for well they said that you better fix it otherwise yeah it was 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 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 00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:14.560 it might maybe everything was on paper still a back then I got it back together 00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:20.760 but I what I was a console gamer in high school okay Xbox guy subscribe to 00:05:20.760 --> 00:05:25.640 Xbox magazine played Starcraft on Xbox I don't know where I oh I did some 00:05:25.640 --> 00:05:28.800 piece of gaming I really liked Starcraft I knew that Starcraft 2 is gonna come 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 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 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 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 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 00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:58.280 they gave you some money towards your supplies and I was an engineering student 00:05:58.280 --> 00:06:03.120 so I needed a particular strength of computer to be able to do use like you 00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:07.280 know modeling programs and stuff like that so I got $500 towards a computer I 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 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 00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:24.840 roommate and like close friend from high school was through and through PC gamer 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 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 00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:37.600 gaming laptop I didn't really have a sense of like what things cost well it 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 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 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 00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:57.240 different PC I didn't even use that laptop for that I basically played Team 00:06:57.280 --> 00:07:02.880 Fortress 2 with it Starcraft 2 when did Starcraft 2 come out it finally came 00:07:02.880 --> 00:07:07.400 out like in 2010 or something like that like way later wow I totally every time 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 00:07:10.760 --> 00:07:15.000 should and you do judo jujitsu people should just be more scared of you I 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:19.160 think you've seen 1% of James you've never been embarrassed about tech I will 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 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 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 00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:40.520 than Intel Intel didn't even have six cores and then the people of the forums 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 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 00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:59.200 your yeah yeah AMD was pretty embarrassing for a while there if you 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 00:08:03.640 --> 00:08:11.920 survived I've only ever been perfectly competent with technology my whole life 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 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 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 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 00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:38.960 glory showing him the setup and I I swear you said something very close to 00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:44.680 note the cable management you were like specifically show them how we like had 00:08:44.680 --> 00:08:47.840 a route of the cables around the living to be discreet I just remember being like 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 00:08:57.280 --> 00:09:01.800 in the house yes so that's pretty embarrassing that you cared about what 00:09:01.800 --> 00:09:06.040 your dad thought do you have an embarrassing story embarrassing or funny 00:09:06.040 --> 00:09:11.080 story related to tech I got I wanted an iPod for Christmas one year and instead 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 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:18.920 school and everyone thought it was really stupid an eye river everyone's got 00:09:18.920 --> 00:09:22.560 iPods and everyone's super cool and then you show up to school with that well 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 00:09:27.760 --> 00:09:31.240 any of these hold on honestly Adam I think I look at you a little bit 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 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 00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:53.360 the speakers like I've I've I've walked over cables tripped and unplugged 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 00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:05.840 known you long enough to know whether you're being sarcastic or not no this 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 00:10:10.560 --> 00:10:14.800 life perfectly you with the one thing I know about you which is that you do 00:10:14.800 --> 00:10:22.400 dance yes you were absolutely spot on with it and how did that make you feel 00:10:22.400 --> 00:10:26.240 when that happened that might potentially multiple times it happened 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:31.040 multiple times and it was embarrassing and it's kind of running joke now well 00:10:31.040 --> 00:10:34.800 first of all why are why are there why were there cables important cables on 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 00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:43.560 know there's lights everywhere and people are moving and I still don't know 00:10:43.560 --> 00:10:51.520 whether I believe you this is my first time appearing on camera oh do you think 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 00:10:55.520 --> 00:11:07.760 do like with everything would you like a Floatplane embarrassing technology we 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 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 00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:23.120 my audio video desyncs on my TV soundbar constantly and sometimes I just let it 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 00:11:27.680 --> 00:11:31.520 crazy happens so often lately and I just like I'm running out of patience fixing 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 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 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 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 00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:52.960 this story is also sonos so this so I guess it's embarrassing for sonos can 00:11:52.960 --> 00:12:02.120 you include that Sammy why not so I have a Bluetooth I have Bluetooth speakers at 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 00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:12.440 go and Shay works from home on actually that's too much information sometimes my 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 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 00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:30.920 actually several times I've been driving up the driveway which goes right past my 00:12:30.920 --> 00:12:34.760 apartment and then for some reason my music stops playing in my car so I go 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 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 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 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:54.760 yeah and then she dumped me and she left and now I don't have then she took 00:12:54.760 --> 00:13:04.200 the Bluetooth speaker with her in the divorce that's not too soon man you may 00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:12.120 be scared for a second that you actually like got divorced and I was like oh what the fuck divorce we're not even married I thought you did get married Sammy what 00:13:12.280 --> 00:13:18.040 happened something what happened to you that was embarrassing I so in Korea you 00:13:18.040 --> 00:13:24.160 can put no so in Korea you can put money and computers at the hospital so you 00:13:24.160 --> 00:13:28.680 can play computer games at the hospital I didn't know that was a thing and started 00:13:28.680 --> 00:13:31.880 doing that and then when I went home to play a computer on my dad's computer I 00:13:31.880 --> 00:13:40.560 put coins on my dad computer and I broke that's a great story so what a perfect 00:13:40.560 --> 00:13:45.920 place to end this video in conclusion nothing embarrassing happened to me ever 00:13:45.920 --> 00:13:53.000 pretty much and hopefully nothing ever will thanks for watching guys float 00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:59.360 Floatplane subscribe what do we say keep continue being on
