1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,640 David Pankratz vlogged his weekend. I might have slightly not told him the right things. 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:08,880 A feature on iPhone is that you can hold your phone vertically or record horizontally. 3 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:13,920 I did not tell David that he should do that and he took it as recorded vertical, 4 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:18,720 but hopefully you still knew the video. We've been working on a project that requires a little 5 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:28,480 bit of paint and Justin just came by and things are not great. Not great. So we're going to go 6 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:34,880 take a look at some of the other pieces that are required for this project and see how they go 7 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:39,920 together and what we can do about it. Okay, so that's all of the panels. All of the panels. 8 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:44,560 Are they going to have this problem? Hmm. This ain't the case for this. Like at all. 9 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,640 We've already pulled this apart this far. This back panel is going to be just as bad, 10 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:57,040 isn't it? Everything is going to be just as bad. Oh man. Field trip time. We're going to go over to 11 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:03,360 Logistics and take a look at a different case, see if it's a better candidate for painting. 12 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:09,280 Otherwise, we'll start surfing the internet and see what happens in terms of finding a new candidate. 13 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:15,280 Hello. Oh really? The buns. I'm vlogging things for Sammy because he wants to see a week in 14 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:20,560 Pankrat's land. Oh yeah, I saw you holding the phone all suspicious like and I was like, 15 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,680 Pankrat doesn't normally do that. Yeah, no, I don't normally do that. 16 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:32,480 Um, do we have an O11 dynamic? Yes. Thanks, AJ. Say hi to the flow plane people. 17 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:40,000 Either or should be fine. Justin's already found something. Of course, this one's white too. 18 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,360 That's not a problem on this one though. We can take it apart and paint it easier. 19 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,800 But all of our, oh, the exit pieces are black on that one still, so it might be okay. 20 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:54,320 Yeah, the exit pieces are black. It's fine. Cool. Because all our pieces that are going inside are 21 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:59,840 black. Actually, this thing's a mix. It's panda. Yeah. We still have mesh on a bunch of the panels 22 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:07,760 that would need to be separated. No, no, it's magnet. Oh, is it? Oh my goodness. So much nicer. 23 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,000 Okay. Yeah, I think this is going to be the move, Mike. Now, do we order one in or use this one? 24 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:18,240 We can just use this one. I forgot to do my daily worship for Pankrats. Pankrats, we worship you. 25 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:27,120 No. This guy should just, yeah, pops up it out. So that's fine. The feet also unscrew. So these 26 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:32,800 unscrew, that can come off. Okay. Anything that's screwed down will unscrew. But this is, yeah, 27 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:38,400 I'd say this is going to be far easier for me to deal with. Still have space for fans here, 28 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:45,520 fans here, AIO there. So that's fine. We can't vertical mount the GPU in this case, but that's 29 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:51,120 not the end of the world. Or do we have a vertical mount? We might have a vertical mount bracket 30 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,920 that will just fit in there. Let's take a look. So there's an O11 dynamic EVO here. It looks like 31 00:02:55,920 --> 00:03:07,200 it's a different color on the inside. Oh, and if that one's black, then we don't have to worry 32 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:12,640 about covering up white bits. I have fingers underneath to help. I'm contributing. Oh, I see a 33 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:19,520 riser too. That's good. This one being black actually is kind of nice too. It's also backed. Oh, 34 00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:30,160 it's mirrored. It's flipped. Someone's been doing some stuff. Someone's been in here. So 35 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:37,600 there's a riser, but it doesn't actually hook up to a vertical mount. There's boxes in here for 36 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:48,160 other things. Oh, oh, oh. A bright GPU kit in black. That looks like the winner. It's all wise. 37 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:59,600 Of course. That's box number two. We got a second vertical GPU kit. Okay. It feels heavier. 38 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:04,720 Feels heavier. That's a good sign. Oh, that was probably the riser. That was that's problem. 39 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:09,280 But it wasn't. 40 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,480 Nice. Okay. Perfect. That's got the riser with it too. I have concerns. 41 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:23,360 I will show you. I will show you concerns. It is much harder to be effective at your job when 42 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:30,720 you have one hand. Oh, it might be okay. Because we've only got a double bracket on here. Even 43 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,680 though it's a four-slot GPU, you've only got a double bracket. Well, I'm going to pull these out 44 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,640 and then I'm going to see. Looks like we have a winner. We're going to pivot to the O11. I'm going 45 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:46,320 to stick everything back in where it's supposed to go and strip this case down with Justin so that 46 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:51,360 we can send it off for sandblasting. Case has been disassembled enough that we gave it over to Alex, 47 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:56,160 and he's going to find someone to sandblast it for us so that we can paint it. The dude got back 48 00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,960 already. He can sandblast it. Nice. We're going to try and reassemble this case that we have tore 49 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:10,080 apart. We're going to reassemble this case that we mostly tore apart, and then it can be used for 50 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:16,160 other things again. Hopefully it goes back together nicely. Now, lunch time. Evan wants me to review 51 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:22,000 a video for him, so that's what I'm going to do next. Lunch is done now. I am headed over to the 52 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:27,520 other side for a shoot with the rest of the writers doing a video on opinions, so I expect 53 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,200 there should be some good debate. I'm here a little bit early, so we're still setting up. This 54 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,040 is what the other side looks like. I'm going to see what I can do to help set up. This is how I'm 55 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:44,560 helping. Thank you, David. We good to go? We're good to go. Sweet. We're good to go. What? Maybe 56 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:50,960 we're not good to go. Shoot is all wrapped up. Elijah's cleaning up some of the tape that we put 57 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,680 down. I've got about an hour left for the day. Let's see what else we can get finished. This 58 00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:07,520 is a setup that Sean and I have been working on a little bit. We've got a system here hooked up to 59 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:17,040 an HDMI splitter, which one side of it goes into a capture card, which goes to a laptop 60 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:25,040 and a monitor, but the other side of it goes into this guy, a little 61 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:34,240 PCIe KVM, so that we can have someone working remotely to do some emerytuting for us. 62 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,600 And we're recording the whole thing with a little security camera over there. 63 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,560 And we're going to get some nice time-lapse footage. 64 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:48,640 So I got the camera and that's going to be recording this guy here. 65 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,960 Evan is interested in seeing how many VMs we can have nested into something for a short, 66 00:06:54,960 --> 00:07:00,480 so I'm going to do a little bit of testing with a bench and we'll see how far we can get. 67 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,800 Just start with Hyper-V and put a Hyper-V on a Hyper-V on a Hyper-V, I guess. 68 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:12,320 Okay, so what I've done is I have sysprepped my VM so that I can grab the virtual hard drive 69 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:18,080 and throw that into a shared folder on my main host. And then when I'm making new VMs, 70 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,400 I can literally just copy that virtual hard drive in. I've got most of the work done for me already 71 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:29,360 and that should speed things up a lot. Okay, VM2 is running. Here's VM1. 72 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:37,360 So you got that running in a window and here is VM2. 73 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:45,920 Time for morning stand-up though. We'll have all of the writers kind of come together and 74 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:50,640 talk about what we're going to do for the day. I'm doing a little bit of 75 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:58,640 discovery into how far you can nest VMs for a short. So far I'm three deep and we'll see 76 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:08,000 how far that can go. And then I want to focus mostly on red bull stuff. We had to pivot the case 77 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:13,760 on the one that we're painting because during this assembly we found that the mesh that is in the 78 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:20,400 height does not come out nicely and doing it with heat causes the mesh to melt and the... 79 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:28,320 It's just like case that we already bought a sacrolet. Yeah, we were able to return the old one so we didn't actually end up standing 80 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,480 significantly more money. We'll try to return this one too. 81 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:36,880 This one's at a point where I don't think we could return it nicely because the cops 82 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:41,600 work a bunch. Those are the grounds upon which you return it. 83 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:51,200 Going to start my third nested VM. I can already tell you this isn't hope. 84 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,320 The processor setting for the virtual machine is incompatible. 85 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,920 A remote RAM tuning project needs a little bit of help so I'm going to be swapping out 86 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:09,200 the storage on the screen capture and kind of resetting things. I've got everything powered 87 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:14,960 off right now because it was all frozen up. 4TB SSD and go straight to that SSD. 88 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:21,760 Okay, okay. We'll start the screen recording again. 89 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:29,760 Let's power this guy back up and see where we get to. If not, what I might have to do is 90 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:36,160 use that little guy there. Oh, still stuck there. That's the guy I want. 91 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:43,120 Now there's some signs of life. Come on, post screen. Hey, there we go. 92 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:50,400 Okay, I made a few changes to my virtual machine stuff and I think we're 93 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,360 in a spot where we should be able to go. 94 00:09:56,560 --> 00:10:05,760 There we go. Our third nested VM. What you would use this for? I have no idea. 95 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:12,080 Okay, so I've got all of my VMs and my main host kind of all lined up here. 96 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,560 I think you'll be able to tell pretty quickly what the experience is like, 97 00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:23,520 just clicking on the start menu and everything. So here's the main host. It's fine. 98 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:34,160 Here's the first VM. It's also pretty good. Second nested VM. You can see it's already 99 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,640 starting to get a bit slower. And then our third one. 100 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:50,560 And today we get to start off with donuts. Someone brought donuts in for the team. So 101 00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:56,080 I've got a load of a bunch of games onto this drive here for another project, but for some reason 102 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:05,920 this guy is not working at USB 3 speeds. It's only going USB 2. So we're going to get a little bit 103 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:14,160 creative and just plug it into a test bench. That way I can transfer at a more reasonable 104 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:21,520 speed instead of 30 or 40 megs per second. Okay, we are all hooked up here. I have my 105 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:30,080 Steam library drive. Everything's showing up here. Because I do this enough, I've got a few 106 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,720 scripts that I've put together for copying Steam games and kind of finding where things are. 107 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:43,360 I don't have something to copy directly from one drive to a secondary drive, but I do have this 108 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:54,560 nice script here to dump all of the games and the app IDs for said games 109 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:02,800 into a CSV file so that I can copy things manually and typing with one hand sucks. 110 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:12,880 So now if we go into our games.csv, no, I picked up notepad plus plus for this. 111 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:22,080 Here we go. Now I can just go and control F for things that I want. 112 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:34,240 I found marathon and that gives me the friendly name, the internal name, which usually is the 113 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:42,480 same, but sometimes is different. And then this app ID and app manifest, which you need to copy 114 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:48,640 that over as well. If you want to skip the whole verifying game after you've transferred things. 115 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:56,480 So just as an example for this marathon one here, I can go into my drive, my Steam library, 116 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:09,280 and we're looking for 306 5800 306 5800. It's right there. And I can copy this guy 117 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:15,840 into the destination steam apps directory. And then I just got to go into common and grab the 118 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:22,240 marathon directory and that will get me going. Since I've got you guys here, I thought I'd show you 119 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:27,120 the other PowerShell script that I've got for copying things to the system drive. 120 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:36,400 I created this guy right here, which will ask you for where your Steam library is that you 121 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:43,360 want to copy from. And then it will parse all of the games that are there. And I've got a nice list 122 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:49,760 where I can just pick and choose which one's there. And then if I want to pick a bunch, 123 00:13:49,760 --> 00:14:00,320 then you just control click. And then once you're done, you hit copy games, which I haven't been 124 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:05,360 able to get a nice progress bar. So it just kind of looks like it hangs up there. But you can see 125 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:11,680 with task manager, we're copying at almost a gig per second. Most of the time makes these things go 126 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:17,360 nice and quick. Evan's asked me to do a short. He is off probation by the time this goes up. 127 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,840 So we're going to take a look at this guy. It's a little kind of mobile controller for 128 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,960 iPhones, connects by MagSafe, all of that type of thing. I'm going to be moving on to another 129 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:31,360 shoot helping out with building a computer, just doing the B roll though. But before that, 130 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:38,240 I need to go get a screen for Robert to play around with some animations for that other 131 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,880 crazy build that we were working on earlier. Here's this guy. Thank you. I think I've got 132 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,320 the right adapters and whatnot. Okay, plug it in and make sure it works because 133 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,520 the pins were very sideways when I first found it. Oh, lovely. 134 00:14:54,560 --> 00:15:01,840 Okay, this is on at least. Okay, if it's getting that far. So the base is going to be like that. 135 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:08,800 Okay, cool. If it's getting that far though, that is working. Cool. So it should be good for you 136 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:14,400 once you get the software installed. Okay. Yeah, I got a little bit, I haven't done too much with 137 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:19,200 this yet just getting it set up. But yeah, I want to try like the angle. And right now it's just 138 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,800 some screen flickering, but I want to try to have like some camera flashes. Yeah, like some soccer 139 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:29,600 ball is going by or stuff like that. So yeah, if you can imagine that wrapped around wrapped 140 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:34,800 around that. And then we've got a little figure that's going to stand in the stage there. Hey, 141 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:40,720 we're back on set. Hello. This is what we're going to be building. I'm going to go grab my laptop 142 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:46,240 so that I have a copy of the script down here and know what I'm doing. Got a little bit of time at 143 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:52,000 the end of the day. So what I'm doing is we had disassembled this case and couldn't figure out 144 00:15:52,000 --> 00:16:00,480 where this piece went. I did find out where it goes after looking at the other version of the case. 145 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:11,520 And it is on this top bit here. I wouldn't even screw that though. It's a good thing that there's 146 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:22,640 one in arms reach. So that goes right on here. Something like that there. I accidentally ran 147 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:28,240 the battery dead yesterday. So we missed a bunch of this morning. So far today, what I've done is 148 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:35,760 go over to ShortCircuit and I did some coverage of the Moto Watch 2026. And that's been about it. 149 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:40,560 I'm going to go over to the other side and pick up some stuff. I think there are some glass panes 150 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:48,080 for Justin to do some etching with for that PC build project. And I'm going to get set up to 151 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:54,160 build some equipment that we're going to use for another video. Hello. I'm looking for those glass 152 00:16:54,160 --> 00:17:01,920 panels. Yeah, that should have came in yesterday. Yeah, yesterday at 11 is what the receiving thing 153 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:09,840 says. What's the noodles as well? Yeah, I saw the noodles. Oh, is this them? It should be from 154 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:16,880 iBuy PAR. Yeah, this is one of our noodles. Oh, spare parts. There you go. Cool. 155 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:26,720 We've got two sets. Let's get these over to Justin. These are our pieces. Would you mind 156 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:31,280 to bring them upstairs for me please? Sure. We've got enough that we can blow up three full panels. 157 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:36,560 So hopefully that's enough to test with. We're going to try not to blow the wall up. I think I've 158 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:48,080 got the settings down. Here is our laser guy. Some failed pieces. We're just going to put these 159 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:53,680 guys down right here. You didn't actually get the payoff seeing what I built yesterday. So 160 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:59,600 this is the finished machine. Not a bad little system for a thousand bucks, even considering 161 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:05,280 the current climate with all of the crazy prices on RAM and storage. We're going to scope out a 162 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:11,200 spot in the warehouse here for setting up this gym equipment that we've got. You don't have a meeting 163 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:21,200 here soon, do you? Okay, I've got to set up some gym equipment for a video. Oh, no. They said somewhere 164 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:27,680 over here by the exit. You guys use this space for stuff though, right? 165 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,800 Yeah, like you can't kill this. Yeah, no, I wouldn't want to. 166 00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:39,200 I wonder if it's small enough. It will just kind of fit here. So here's the equipment, 167 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:48,640 the gym monster too, and we're going to set it up in this blank space here that we've cleared. 168 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:55,840 I've got a camera set up on the corner of the standing desk that we're going to time-lapse it 169 00:18:55,840 --> 00:19:04,080 with, and Braden's going to help me. So that's what it is. That's what we set up. It's strange. 170 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:14,800 I am not a stranger to gym equipment, and this is one of the stranger pieces of equipment that 171 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:22,880 I've ever used. I know that today I've got a bit of stuff that I can focus on. I'm going to try and 172 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:27,760 get all of the pieces for those larger builds that we've been working on earlier in the week, 173 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,520 and put those together, maybe get the OS installed and all the software set up. 174 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:39,920 There's a couple shots that we need to do, redo as replacements for the $1,000 build guide that 175 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:44,480 I was also doing earlier this week, and we'll see what else comes up throughout the day. 176 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:51,360 I'm going to clean off the space a bit so that I have room for all of those other parts. 177 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:59,440 We're going to take a bin and start filling it with some things. I have a collection of all 178 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:04,400 sorts of stuff for this project over here already, but we're just going to grab the pieces we need 179 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:13,120 for the computer. Is there a U14? There's a U14. Just because these things get opened a bunch, 180 00:20:13,120 --> 00:20:17,920 I got to make sure that we've got the mounting hardware that we need. Should be there, 181 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:26,240 but because it means going over to a different building, so if it's not there, it's nice to 182 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:35,120 make sure. Oh, there we go. Those are what I'm looking for. I've got my four screws, my four 183 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:44,000 spacers, and those guys there. Throw this in my box, and we'll bring that back over to the other 184 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:50,480 side. Because of availability constraints, we've had to get a solid state drive with a heat sink 185 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:56,080 for these builds, but we don't actually want the heat sink anymore, so I'm going to have to take 186 00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:03,120 these apart, and Samsung has used these pentalobe screws on it. Thankfully, 187 00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:11,760 we have a solution for that. Perfect. I'm going to not do this with one hand, though. There we go. 188 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:20,640 It's the rich, gooey center of what's under the heat sink. I'm going to stick it in this guy, 189 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:27,680 and we're going to use this to image it over with a standard image so that I can get things going 190 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:36,240 for it. Connect them down there, and this is the software that I've been using for 191 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:44,320 doing a bunch of the imaging. I have a couple of just base images ready to go. 192 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:53,440 There we go. New CPU installed. We'll just head into the BIOS real quick. Throw on our expo. 193 00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:02,400 Save that. Okay. Now, if everything work does expect it, we should get Windows. 194 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:11,040 Memory chaining takes a while. There you have it. Windows starting. Thanks for watching. If you 195 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:15,040 liked this, give it a thumbs up so that Sammy knows that he can go and make more of these types 196 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:19,920 of things. Speaking about Sammy, he did one where he took the phone for a week and kind of covered 197 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:20,560 what he did, too.
