it's not hoarders it's horny ow oh i got
hit in the butt with a nail why is there a shotgun shell back here well what am i
supposed to do with these pickles now i have my feet in the rice no that's what
oh my gosh Linus
no no no no no no no no no this is definitely an episode of the orders
Yvonne and i finally got covered don't worry we're going to be fine but it
means we can't go to work right now which could be a blessing in disguise
because it made us realize that if all goes according to plan
we're gonna be moving in three weeks which means we have a freaking ton of
packing to do but it only took about 15 minutes of boxing
things up to realize a few things one this place is absolutely chock-full of
memories pretty much our entire adult lives raising children starting this
company has taken place within these four walls two we've shown bits and
pieces of the tech setup here usually as parts of videos but never the final form
and this is gonna be our last chance and three
i have stolen more tech from the office over the years
than every Intel extreme tech upgrade combined to the point where logistics
actually printed out a list and asked me to go through the house and try to find
this stuff so why don't we do that together
and take a trip down memory lane while we're at it oh and why don't i tell you
about our sponsor hedsner for a limited time hetzener online is offering all ax
dedicated root servers with AMD ryzen cpus and select ex dedicated route
servers with Intel core i799 cpus without a setup fee no setup for you
guys get these servers configure us today using the link below
before we go any further i just want to say that we don't normally live like
this it's a symptom of thinking that your big move is right around the corner
for like six months you know instead of putting away my tools i make a pile instead of
Yvonne putting away her crafting stuff she makes a pile instead of badgering
the kids to put away their toys we're just like ah throw it in the pile so why
don't we get started in the living room where do you want
do you want to help are you tired you need a break i can help for a little
bit yeah it's no secret i'm a big fan of xbox 360 controllers
love the rechargeable double a batteries so you're never just like throwing
batteries in a heap and they're still working all these years
later because you're not dependent on internal batteries i don't think you use this i just dug this out from no corner
no it's there so i have easy access i actually how much dust is on it a lot
look at it well we have different standards of a lot look at it i wouldn't lick it so this is
going in the plastic no no when i need it it's very useful this will be in the
theater room for sure at the moment what okay these little sedeko things i don't
think you can get them anymore they're actually kind of great two double a
batteries one on each side and it's a gyroscopic mouse so you go like this and
then it has a little typey keyboard thing here but they're not great the
quality sucks they die all the time and i only have two more left in reserves so
and i haven't found a good replacement for it so this is not that replacement
well no but occasionally you just you need to like use a mouse and keyboard
there's going to be a computer in there i need it but this is huge why don't you just get
a small one i mean sometimes bigger is better what can i say bigger is not
always better that's good that you think that i have to how many headsets do you have
oh like vr headsets okay this is a long story this is the pimax 8k and the
reason i have this here is that i really wanted to do a review of it um these
guys actually flew a representative over
the ocean from china because they were so excited to show me this technology
like years ago and it was terrible it was atrocious the leg was awful
everything about it was awful except for the groundbreaking field of view that's
what they do really well and they basically were like yeah we
fixed everything that you had a problem with we want you to review it now and i
was like all right i'ma go for it and it actually looks amazing the leg is
totally fixed but the problem is that i think that pimax is really asian
market focused i actually meant for you to try this because
my prominent nose your nose that's now growing
sideways is not thank you for that is not compatible
with the shape of this of the nose piece of the headset does it bump your nose uh
no yeah okay see that's what i figured and because it's so heavy and bulky
within like two minutes i have a horrible red market
like a dent on my nose so i really wanted to review it and daily drive it
and i just found that it made me not use vr at all and then i meant to take it
back to the office but i hadn't disentangled it from here okay and then
i also brought home the 5k version because i wanted to compare them
and so they're here and these can go back my vr setup here is really cool
though and has changed since the last time i made a video i've still got four
of the gen 2 base stations and i'm using a valve index this is interesting the
reason i have four base stations in the first place because two actually
technically one is enough is that i was having this issue when i was trying to
stream with full body tracking so where you've got these these trackers on your
feet and on your hips um like they would
kind of wander away and it seemed to be some kind of signal issue or tracking
issue so i made sure that i was completely surrounded in base stations
that didn't help and then i tried repositioning these are called watchmen
these are the little receivers that receive data from these guys to tell
them the position that didn't really help it it made it
better but not perfect and then what ultimately fixed it was when i upgraded
to the gen 2 trackers but it's not the trackers that fixed it these have better
battery and they're smaller which is nice but it was the gen 2 watchmen
there we go that fixed the problem these actually have the exact same part number
as the old ones but the performance seems to be markedly better so the
reason that i haven't sent all the gen 1 trackers back to the office is that i
was lazy i even had to switch my media pc to micro atx so that i could install
another expansion card in it not one of these
sick quad controller usb cards so each of
these ports has its own individual controller and that was because i
thought there might be some kind of bandwidth issue or compatibility issue
with having the watchman sharik shara usb controller i spent so much freaking
time diagnosing this thing one thing that didn't work about this machine is
the external fans i don't oh okay because they came
unplugged well there's your problem uh these fans in the cabinet just never
spun so and i never bothered dealing with it
because i just opened up the door
otherwise this machine's been great though got that 3080 in there 800 watt
power supply this thing's so compact
i hope you have a more elegant solution for charging when we go to the new place
this is pretty elegant you got the anchor like what is this like 10 10 port
charger and you put i think the problem was that it was
buried with all the wires on top of it so you never knew where to put anything
yep i agreed i just plugged in this light over here
and it sparked really big and i noticed that there's one plug that's plugged
into one circuit and one into the other is that a problem like
sorry what there's a single device that is plugged into two receptacles yeah oh
uh that wouldn't be best oh this is hilarious yeah and oh that's bad that's
a swing and a miss that's very bad oh this is an interesting one i felt
very judged about it but i actually daily drive a sound bar and the sonos
arc from my experience has just been the strongest performer and shout out sonos
for sending a loaner unit of their accompanying subwoofer and then totally
forgetting to ever ask for it back so it's just been like quietly sitting here
waiting for sonos to remember that i have it i'm sure now
that i've said this they're gonna figure out that i have it and ask for it back
this was a fun project learning how to put in-ceiling speakers into your house
and actually because it's a crawl space above this room i was able to wire all
of the base stations as well as that security camera by crawling around in
the insulation we're not going to go in there again today we have plenty of file footage of that because we re-blew
cellulose insulation and i don't want to disturb it but that was a lot of work i
don't think there's tech in the kitchen no tech in the kitchen bam soda speaker
bam nest smoke thing
so you can press the button be like shut up press to test oh no i don't want to
test there's a whole pile of attack here hold on a second don't you mean
there's a whole lot of tech here in this case
it's not hoarders it's horny i mean absolutely what what's wrong with still
having your camera from 15 years ago so that your kids can just play with it on
your windowsill fun story these headphones were actually one of the
first gifts that Yvonne ever bought me i
had never owned like a really nice pair
of headphones and she went to all the work to figure out exactly what the
model i wanted was these are the hd555s from sennheiser and what were
these a birthday present i think probably yeah so these would have been
in year one of our relationship and i actually use these for gaming for many
years gotta love that mod mic attachment no detachable cable though you gotta
move up in the lineup for that okay i'll accompany you on the recorder
just parent things
and that was all that we needed to hear yeah how much do you love our pantry
right now not using most of the pantry do you mean
by sheer volume we haven't actually used most of it
thanks brandon the problem is that because we can't walk in our pantry and
find things we need every time we need something we go and buy it
that's not even true be fair to us there's not that much
duplicate stuff in here i need all of
these pickles obviously oh god
oh my gosh you're crushing things and people always thought
duke that wasn't my fault the shelf just fell down broke this
shelf they're not attached to anything they're
just okay just just stop well what am i supposed to do with these pickles now i
have my feet in the rice man what's going on in here oh
see how could i enjoy
charging my car with something that wasn't installed by the one and only
brian the electrician i remember giving brian a hard time about this like stupid
two by four uh mount that he made for it i was like
shouldn't we like do something that'll look a little nicer he's like yeah but you'll paint it black i didn't oh here's
a fun one guess what this line is uh one day i was feeling ambitious and i put
badminton court lines down on the floor and a net line so that i could like
practice footwork in here i used it i think twice
oh hey look there's the wiimotes and stuff okay that's awesome and one of
your many helium tanks every time there's a party or something she goes
and buys another helium drink
how many do we have of these right now i think we have three but i think that
might be empty or that one might be might be empty hold on there's only one
way to find out you are sick don't put your mouth on oh
are you sure it's empty because i think there might be a problem with that
theory this feels like a really
bad episode it's really fun you sound all funny and stuff
oh i'm a little lightheaded sit down and get some oxygen here
it's closing down around me where did dennis fall through the
ceiling oh that's here no it's not no no
dennis fell through the ceiling here hey editor roll the clip
oh god damn it dennis i almost died why is there a pillow on
this side i was bringing it upstairs oh yeah and you made it that far yeah good
job okay i joke sometimes that i dress like
a cartoon character because i always wear the same thing this is literally my
pants drawer one pair of these pants two
pair of these pants three pair of these pens
i only own one kind of pants
basically if your wardrobe store doesn't look like mine
just full LTT Store store then you're not doing it right i'm
afraid my nightstand's a fun one this is where all the tech that i like kind of
want to try but i'm not going to get around to
ends up so first of all i keep all my wireless earphones here i sleep with
earphones in so i need like a few because if i wake up in the middle of
the night and they're dead then i need to put new ones and i just like can't sleep without them got my favorite
handhelds steam deck for most things and then i knew next i do
really like this thing they've got some sounds like they've got some really cool
stuff coming as well hey brandon check this out this is that charger that we
did the very first ShortCircuit on so it's apple watch and then ipad and phone
and airpods but i took the ah there you go
i took the ipad one and i put my urine charger on so it just sits there and i
pop it on and then i've got the pile
packaging for one of those earphones other more different withings watch that
i wanted to try out for a little bit really wanted to try this phone as a daily driver i never got around to it
wanted to put this wanted to use this dock and put the screen protector on the
eye neo didn't do that this looks too stylish for you i know right it's really
nice old note 9 because i just can't let it go oh i think one of these had your
what's called um LMG business plan no
it's not one of these ones i don't think are you sure yeah i'm pretty sure oh
wait what's this this is what our infrastructure plan looked like
in the very early days of being at the office so wanik
24 SSD raid 51 that goes to ed ditters
whatever the rest of this says and then that would
constant sync with newton which would back up to kamloops nightly
this is this is a brilliant way better than what we have
now okay you have a whole bag of headphones when you use wireless headphones right
because someday a solar flare
might fry all the waterless headphones i don't
know oh do i still have a tv in my bathroom what a wonderful question
that's gonna be a big fan yes i actually don't use it that often more often than
not i'm like vegging in the bathtub and i just want the little screen because i
don't want my eyes to be all overwhelmed if it was an OLED and i could turn it
way down i'd probably use it more oh man should we go up to the attic that's
probably the sketchiest upgrade we made to this house ironically because of how
recently it was completely redone when we put in the air conditioning that was
such a great diy project by the way uh it was a ton of work but strongly
recommend we saved like 15 grand doing it ourselves and it's been like it's
been great yeah awesome i think it's been one of the least controversial home upgrades that
i've actually made okay i think the one thing that was
really controversial was the ceiling cassettes were so big they were way
bigger than just do you even notice it anymore yes this is really sketchy this is my racket
stringing machine that probably weighs about 250 pounds that is sitting on the
underside of these um roof trusses that is really not
ideal and we actually put plywood down over almost the entire
attic that's why everything is spread out because we're trying to spread the
load out as much as possible but it's just like once you've got three kids and
they do all these different activities and stuff you've got equipment for this
and you've got jackets for that and
so three kids worth of stuff is like three little bays here that's what we
call these things and then this over here is three bays of Linus stuff okay
okay first literally last night she's like
you don't keep enough sentimental stuff from our relationship now today she's
like oh why do you have this case that
was like the biggest gift i got for you
in our first couple of years and why do you have okay that's probably the only
thing to do with our relationship yeah necessarily but what
oh my gosh Linus uh okay well that's
broken ew why did i keep my retainers
so Linus will keep three sets of his old retainers and won't keep sentimental
stuff from our relationship like what are you talking about i don't keep it
it's just in this bin you know what maybe i just
don't need a lot of reminders of how amazing you are because i live with you
every day ever think of that we actually did during the first quarantine an
entire video and all the cool old tech lineus had in the attic so you can check
that one out yeah you're like a pro you're like thrown into another video okay here's a sentimental thing that i
kept that's to do with you remember when you encouraged me to buy these shoes
because you thought they were so small i did not encourage you to buy those shoes
yes these used to be bright pink brandon and green yeah like the laces like like
the lambo okay and then i literally walked out of the payless because he was
in the women's section wanting to get these shoes yeah you were like wow can
you believe these are in the in the clearance section you should totally buy
no no i can't believe how much tech stuff we've seen already and we hadn't even
made it into like the computer room yet here's a fun one
this piece of plywood has been here for at least two years i took it off the
wall of the world's most comfortable gaming setup when we took down the
world's most comfortable gaming setup and turned this into the room where we closed the door and do
not look at the mess the kids made
i putted the wall and intended to sand it down and paint over it and then never
did it and now i like to not look in this room and i like to close the door
uh Yvonne set up i finally convinced her to go ultra wide
years ago she insisted for the longest time on having like two small monitors
she was like no i'll get a headache i'll get a headache this keyboard is the one
that we repaired recently actually sort of we kind of broke things and repaired
it as for my setup there are some things that i have changed since the last time
you guys saw it and there's some things that i actually haven't sennheiser
hd600s those are still here i tried swapping them out with the hd8
man whatever the mass drop version of the hd800s is i tried them out i just can't
get over the comfort still using the rode podcaster mic but i've changed my
display so that aorus uh 48 inch OLED
that i believe was a sponsored video man this video not sponsored at all but this
thing is freaking awesome i don't think there's any going back to smaller than
48 inch which is tough because the new qd OLED stuff looks absolutely amazing
that alienware that we did a video on recently real real tempting got a stream
deck literally never use it you can see it's just got the little welcome thing
up there and razer's Thunderbolt 4 dock compatibility good performance good
reliability great why is
the up link on the front from a cable management perspective why would you
want that it took me a solid 10 15 minutes to figure out that it wasn't
broken because i was trying using every
single back type c i think there's like three of them as the uplink because i
assumed the front one was for convenient front i o access i never did
properly figure out all the cable management in here this is really bad my
power bar is just hanging off the bottom of
the desk now but i'm not gonna fix that we're just
gonna do it up right at the new place and then there's the server room this is
the heart of it all i'm gonna miss you i'm gonna
miss you server rack microtech 10 gigabit switch ubiquity has some really
good 10 gig stuff now so we're going almost full ubiquity at the new place
ubiquity PoE switch uh ubiquity is this
the dream machine yeah this is the udm pro so we're gonna have pretty similar gear
at the new place except like times three because that place has literally
kilometers of cat6a cable in it these personal rigs are gonna come for now but
i think we're actually gonna do a redesigned chassis that's just way
smarter better front i o uh better water cooling layout like more
compatible and maybe this time around it'll be good enough that we'll be comfortable releasing the design files
or who knows if it's good enough er then
maybe we'll do it maybe we'll do like a rack mount gaming case partner with some
kind of case manufacturer or something so i'm not gonna have my owl anymore uh
i mean you can keep it if you can keep yours if you want but i'm gonna upgrade mine no okay this was hand
painted for us by uh neighbor steve who used to be our
neighbor uh next to our our office he's actually technically still our neighbor
he's the office he works in is just 25 seconds farther away by foot also in
here we've got the ultimaker 2 extended that i
definitely took from the office to make flexi cats
sorry yeah so that was during the pandemic when we were filming a lot from
home honestly looking around at all the tech and reminiscing now it feels so
so old it feels old yeah
like i just i look at things like the ac cassettes even though that was only done
you know a year or two years ago and just it looks so
unprofessional compared to a lot of hey stuff that we've got going on well you
know what's not unprofessional telling you about our sponsor ovh cloud it's a

about today so this is it we're out of here yeah you ready to
start boxing stuff up
