WEBVTT 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:05.040 so if you've been following the exploits of Linus Media Group for any extended 00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:09.480 period of time there's a good chance you've come across this tour of our 00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:14.820 previous headquarters as well as this series of videos chronicling our move 00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:16.800 into a larger more modern office but 00:00:14.820 --> 00:00:21.720 while we did make a video showing our editors upgrading their workstations for 00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:25.619 the new editing Den we didn't aside from thanking NVIDIA for sending us Titan X's 00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:30.060 for the new machines get into the specifics of all the other hardware and 00:00:28.500 --> 00:00:34.140 everything that goes around them and we've received a lot of requests to take 00:00:32.279 --> 00:00:38.219 a deeper dive into the hardware that our editors use to do their daily work so 00:00:36.239 --> 00:00:40.940 without further ado here we go 00:00:53.480 --> 00:00:59.640 Corsair's RMI series power supplies feature premium components for great 00:00:57.480 --> 00:01:02.359 performance with very low noise check out the link in the video description to 00:01:01.260 --> 00:01:09.540 learn more okay visitors come with me what we have to 00:01:06.780 --> 00:01:15.790 collect all of your peripherals yeah I call an MX master nope

these Christmas presents 00:05:03.180 --> 00:05:10.639 this is like the best Christmas ever best it's not even Christmas Even better 00:05:07.620 --> 00:05:13.530 than that Christmas workouts 00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:15.560 worth it 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:21.919 HD you on 650s sit on my lap a little 00:05:19.259 --> 00:05:21.919 longer Ed 00:05:22.440 --> 00:05:29.820 foreign so we're putting up this wall decal 00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:35.400 that's great it's only slightly less crooked than Dennis's Iron Man face 00:05:32.699 --> 00:05:42.479 mine's cooler we may have gone over budget yeah it's not the 90s what do you 00:05:39.479 --> 00:05:45.240 need a calendar for so 00:05:42.479 --> 00:05:50.639 fractal Josh got this done did you ask Kimberly Schultz if you could do an 00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:55.560 unauthorized print I did not wow okay so 00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:59.400 my order came in from uh dftbs 00:05:55.560 --> 00:06:02.100 um I see Dennis has this weirdo it is 00:05:59.400 --> 00:06:08.600 actually pretty cool but Linus said no desk ornaments okay all the stuff I 00:06:05.280 --> 00:06:08.600 bought is all useless 00:06:16.400 --> 00:06:21.780 no it's not literally no one has 00:06:19.979 --> 00:06:25.420 listened to anything I said about this and your desk is a mess 00:06:24.060 --> 00:06:27.180 if you check out this photograph 00:06:27.180 --> 00:06:32.819 because honestly every time I do makes 00:06:30.180 --> 00:06:37.860 me laugh someone someone else missed the memo about not having 00:06:35.900 --> 00:06:44.460 what else is that wall going to be creative I got the most things for my 00:06:39.840 --> 00:06:44.460 money I think actually you did too yeah 00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:52.080 so the first big upgrade from Need for seat USA as well as updesk.com is in the 00:06:50.340 --> 00:06:57.360 furniture department so everyone got office Comfort or Dominator chairs you 00:06:55.319 --> 00:07:02.880 can see that everyone's equipped with if they were listening the orange and black 00:07:00.840 --> 00:07:05.880 versions of the aforementioned chairs but some people went and ordered black 00:07:04.259 --> 00:07:10.380 ones anyway it was supposed to all be orange and black for LTT and equipped 00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:14.639 with a height adjustable desk so these are good for a couple of reasons number 00:07:12.060 --> 00:07:18.539 one is that they allow you to change to a standing height throughout the day if 00:07:16.500 --> 00:07:22.740 you just want to move around and get more comfortable you can see we've also 00:07:20.039 --> 00:07:26.819 got these mats from Costco so that your your heels and the balls of your feet 00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:30.240 don't get fatigued from standing and then the other thing that they do is 00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:35.340 they allow you to sit at a height that's most comfortable for you so you can see 00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:37.560 that Dennis and Edsel both prefer very 00:07:35.340 --> 00:07:42.120 different heights even for their seating position so the other cool thing is that 00:07:40.259 --> 00:07:46.259 you can actually program different heights so you just hold it down and as 00:07:44.520 --> 00:07:49.800 long long as there's no obstacles under the desk yeah we're good then boom this 00:07:48.300 --> 00:07:53.639 is birkel's sitting height which is obviously not very comfortable for me 00:07:51.419 --> 00:07:57.180 but that's the whole point and everyone being a special case I guess leads us 00:07:55.500 --> 00:08:01.860 pretty well into taryn's workstation where the first thing you'll notice is you remove the armrest from his chair I 00:08:00.300 --> 00:08:05.639 also like to scoot up as close to my desk as possible so that I can rest my 00:08:03.660 --> 00:08:08.580 arms on it rather than my ARM rest and the second thing you'll probably notice 00:08:06.840 --> 00:08:13.979 is that he has three monitors unlike everyone else in the company who was 00:08:10.080 --> 00:08:17.520 just fine with two 31 inch 4K monitors 00:08:13.979 --> 00:08:19.379 so LG kindly provided one extra monitor 00:08:17.520 --> 00:08:25.500 for Taran to put scripts or whatever else on but most people are equipped 00:08:21.780 --> 00:08:29.879 with two 31 mu-97 monitors these are 00:08:25.500 --> 00:08:33.120 true 4K monitors so they're 4096 by 2160 00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:35.099 not Ultra HD they feature 10-bit panels 00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:39.300 they've got height adjust the actually the full range of ergonomic adjustments 00:08:37.020 --> 00:08:43.800 that we need and what's really cool about them is they actually have support 00:08:40.860 --> 00:08:47.399 for not only srgb color space which frankly is all we're using for 00:08:45.420 --> 00:08:52.980 publishing to the web anyway but also 99.5 coverage of adobe RGB and even 00:08:50.880 --> 00:08:56.820 support for DCI so if we were ever to you know do something where it's like 00:08:55.140 --> 00:09:01.320 yeah we need to do this as if it's going to be shown in a movie theater then we 00:08:59.339 --> 00:09:05.040 would actually have the capability to do that neat little accessory that goes 00:09:03.060 --> 00:09:09.240 with it is actually these little x-rite i1 display Pros so these allow us to 00:09:07.800 --> 00:09:14.820 calibrate the monitors as well as monitor ambient light so that they can 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:17.700 adapt to different ambient light in the room although it doesn't really change 00:09:15.779 --> 00:09:23.760 much so that you're always getting the best color accuracy possible 00:09:20.660 --> 00:09:25.560 foreign next up we've got our 00:09:23.760 --> 00:09:30.000 peripherals so everyone was using just a mishmash of random stuff back at the old 00:09:27.660 --> 00:09:33.360 office Logitech stepped up and offered to provide us with whatever keyboards we 00:09:31.680 --> 00:09:39.180 wanted so you'll find a healthy mix of g710 pluses for those who prefer the 00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:41.880 Cherry MX experience and Orion spark G9 00:09:39.180 --> 00:09:48.180 TENS for those who prefer the Roamer G experience and mice now a lot of people 00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:52.320 wanted MX Masters Brandon's the only one who got one of those unfortunately but 00:09:50.459 --> 00:09:56.820 the good news is that logitech's gaming mice whether it's the g402 or the g502 00:09:55.200 --> 00:10:01.200 which is what most of the others opted for offer great tracking and of course 00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:04.500 very good performance and ergonomics as well they're just not wireless although 00:10:03.060 --> 00:10:08.760 Brandon doesn't seem to be using the wireless functionality of the MX Master 00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:13.200 anyway for the rest of the peripherals we actually love these desk mats from 00:10:10.980 --> 00:10:17.700 steelseries these are great because it means you can have as much or as little 00:10:15.540 --> 00:10:21.420 actual mouse pad as you want you can also throw them in the washing machine 00:10:18.899 --> 00:10:26.640 something this one probably needs if you ever need to clean them and these were a 00:10:24.660 --> 00:10:31.080 nice addition as well so in the past no one really had microphones at their 00:10:28.260 --> 00:10:34.680 desks but Razer sent us siren Elites for everyone's workstations and we use them 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:39.899 for all kinds of stuff whether it's recording those clever voiceovers at the 00:10:37.140 --> 00:10:43.560 end of next time on scrapyard Wars or even creating sound effects at our desk 00:10:42.060 --> 00:10:46.519 something that happens more often than you'd probably think 00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:57.240 thank you that's too much finally everyone got 00:10:55.200 --> 00:11:02.519 their audio upgraded as well most people were using some mix of different gaming 00:11:00.839 --> 00:11:07.079 headsets that we had left over from reviews now everyone's using something 00:11:04.740 --> 00:11:13.200 from Sennheiser whether it's an hd6 mix hd8 DJ or even some people opted for 00:11:10.079 --> 00:11:16.140 their audiophile series HD 600s or HD 00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:21.240 650s and of course for some of those headphones we had to go ahead and 00:11:18.060 --> 00:11:23.040 upgrade our audio source so audio 00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:30.300 yes that is actually the name of the company if you haven't heard of them before sent us stack twos so magni 00:11:27.180 --> 00:11:32.399 2 and Modi 2 DAC and amps for every one 00:11:30.300 --> 00:11:36.959 of our editors to power their new headphones 00:11:34.140 --> 00:11:42.180 which leads us to the towers now we didn't change that much we did add those 00:11:39.839 --> 00:11:47.579 aforementioned Titan X graphics cards but we're still using the same 4960x 00:11:44.339 --> 00:11:49.620 extreme Edition 6 cores uh 32 gigs of 00:11:47.579 --> 00:11:54.959 Kingston memory unless you're Ed he's got a 12 core Xeon and 64 gigs of hyperx 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:59.399 memory but you know whatever he's just a boss apparently a couple people have 00:11:56.940 --> 00:12:04.740 quadros for doing color work uh everyone's got Kingston KC series ssds 00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:08.519 Cooler Master v750 power supplies no the only things we really changed were the 00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:12.899 coolers where we went with their new gemin 2 coolers as well as the cases so 00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:16.980 we switched over to silencio series cases because what we discovered is that 00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:20.880 while the intention with whole room water cooling was actually to overclock 00:12:18.959 --> 00:12:24.180 the workstations um now that we don't render on the 00:12:22.380 --> 00:12:29.160 workstations anyway quiet and consistent long-term reliable 00:12:27.180 --> 00:12:33.060 operation is more of a focus so we went back to air cooling which has fewer 00:12:30.779 --> 00:12:36.720 points of failure and we went with cases that had noise dampening material built 00:12:35.220 --> 00:12:40.800 into the inside so that the office environment except when people are 00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:47.220 talking or filming in it is really really quiet 00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:48.600 which leads us to our last demo if I 00:12:47.220 --> 00:12:51.360 could get the camera focusing its attention on Brandon's system 00:12:51.360 --> 00:13:00.959 Boop what's all this then ah yes General 00:12:56.880 --> 00:13:03.720 Electric kitted us out with 2 000 volt 00:13:00.959 --> 00:13:08.820 amp UPS units for every single workstation meaning that even in the 00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:13.079 event of a power outage not only our server room but also the individual 00:13:11.160 --> 00:13:17.639 workstations of our editors are protected and will continue to run on 00:13:14.940 --> 00:13:22.800 battery power for quite some time like in excess of 20 minutes giving us time 00:13:20.339 --> 00:13:26.700 to save our work correctly you know even if Premiere is being a bit of a butt 00:13:24.540 --> 00:13:31.620 head or whatever else back up all the data to where it needs to go and shut 00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:34.560 down the systems correctly a very very 00:13:31.620 --> 00:13:39.660 important thing to be able to do so that's pretty much it while I think we 00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:41.700 can all agree that uh my team and I 00:13:39.660 --> 00:13:46.680 struggled during the move and shortly after the move to maintain our usual 00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:49.079 standard of quality with the content I 00:13:46.680 --> 00:13:53.519 really feel like we've finally found our stride and the content that you guys are 00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:57.660 looking at now reflects not only the outer space that we have to work in but 00:13:55.500 --> 00:14:04.200 also the better equipment that we have in order to create our videos 00:14:01.560 --> 00:14:09.420 so all that's left now is to thank our sponsor Dollar Shave Club who actually 00:14:05.940 --> 00:14:13.560 this it was not planned but incidentally 00:14:09.420 --> 00:14:15.120 was the sponsor of our last office tour 00:14:13.560 --> 00:14:20.820 back when we were at the old place the one I referred to at the beginning so if you're not sure what Dollar Shave Club 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:25.560 is guys it's the club where you join for well not dollar but a 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:30.180 few dollars just a few dollars a month where you can shave your face prepare 00:14:27.959 --> 00:14:34.200 your face for shaving put stuff on your face that smells nice after you're done 00:14:31.620 --> 00:14:39.839 shaving and wipe your butt yes they have supplies for all of those things it's 00:14:36.540 --> 00:14:41.820 available in Canada the US and Australia 00:14:39.839 --> 00:14:46.320 and basically it's for people who want to look like they go out of their house 00:14:43.860 --> 00:14:52.019 without actually going to the store finding someone to open
