00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.640
when I was a teenager a source of constant Strife between me and my

00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:12.880
siblings was touching the what wait why' you bleep that I said

00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:15.519
computer screen anyway fingerprints not

00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:19.439
only reduce image Clarity but they also have the potential to be super

00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:23.000
disgusting if we consider for a moment the average personal hygiene of an

00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:27.240
8-year-old and even a lot of adults I know and since someone is going to have

00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:31.560
to clean it off and that someone always ended up being me and I mean we're even

00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:37.160
ignoring the potential for damage from impactor skin oils yeah people touching

00:00:34.680 --> 00:00:43.640
the screen was a bulletproof way to set me off well fast forward over a decade

00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:46.239
and even I have accepted the touchscreen

00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:51.760
lifestyle now now most touch devices have glass fronts making damage less of

00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:56.960
a concern but image quality degradation and assuming you don't have fancy

00:00:54.120 --> 00:01:00.879
antimicrobial glass grossness is definitely still a factor so what's the

00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:05.439
correct way to clean your screen we'll start with mobile devices because they

00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:09.720
mostly use Corning Gorilla glass panels more information about those available

00:01:07.320 --> 00:01:15.960
here for a deep clean I recommend a microfiber cloth and some 99% isopropyl

00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:20.759
rubbing alcohol to help remove Gunk and kill unwanted microscopic nasties

00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:26.360
another option when you're out and about is the classic pants wipe or shirt wipe

00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:31.240
because these screens aren't fragile nor are they easily damaged when it comes to

00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:35.840
desktop monitors TVs are really anything that wasn't designed to be constantly

00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:40.119
touched the rules change a lot you're still going to want that trusty

00:01:37.240 --> 00:01:44.079
microfiber cloth to do it properly because this keeps annoying paper fibers

00:01:41.759 --> 00:01:48.719
off your device but instead of you know any cleaning solution you should use

00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:53.040
plain old water it might take a little bit longer but water used with a

00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:57.200
polishing motion as you make your way around the screen will get you a clean

00:01:55.040 --> 00:02:02.039
screen without streaks not at all like Luke's TV which a former however

00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:07.600
well-intentioned girlfriend cleaned with Windex destroying the anti-glare coating

00:02:05.240 --> 00:02:14.000
okay Linus sounds great but I don't have these microfiber cloths as you say can I

00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:16.519
just use Tepee sure I guess if you want

00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:20.640
to be wiping paper Fibbers off with something else when you're done no a

00:02:18.440 --> 00:02:25.040
better bet would be coffee filters no one wants unnecessary contaminants in

00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:30.080
their coffee so these are a clean and fiber free alternative also they're very

00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:32.879
inexpensive now before we get into to another sponsor segment from fractal

00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:38.120
where I get abused free- reviewing pleasure I'd like to give a shout out to Life Hacker for featuring our videos all

00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:42.000
the time and writing the articles that were the basis of this episode isn't it

00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:45.640
great when everyone gets along on the Internet it's like hypothetical great

00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:49.519
things that never happen no really it happened this time speaking of getting

00:02:47.440 --> 00:02:55.080
along instead of having me tell you guys about high quality cases and power

00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:59.959
supplies and PC cooling products and minimalistic Scandinavian design and all

00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:05.519
that good stuff fractal design offered to match my $500 ALS research

00:03:02.920 --> 00:03:13.159
contribution if I did the Ice Bucket Challenge as part of a fast as possible

00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:13.159
video so here goes

00:03:15.040 --> 00:03:23.680
okay oh that wasn't so bad that's no big deal oh

00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:49.120
okay I didn't know the second bucket was coming oh was a little worse so is there

00:03:47.519 --> 00:03:55.159
no audio can you hear me supposedly this

00:03:52.480 --> 00:03:59.840
mic is waterproof but the point of the matter is I'm challenging lehan from

00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:06.400
fractal designs marketing to also complete the ice bucket challenge also

00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:07.840
uh guys uh oh thank you for watching

00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:14.480
