1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,080
audience on Facebook, my grandmother.

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:07,560
Why does Facebook get early shows?

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,600
Are we early on Twitch too? Yeah. Yeah.

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,240
So it's Float Plain, Facebook, and Twitch.

5
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:18,040
Get the stream early. Why? Riley's trying to wrap his brain around this.

6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,200
Because my grandmother watches on Facebook, Riley.

7
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,360
No, I'm kidding. Hi, Grandma Linus. Yeah.

8
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:29,240
Well, for some reason, everyone calls her Grandma Linus.

9
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,960
I'm sorry, we're live right now. Oh, yeah. Hi. Hey, Floaters.

10
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:37,480
Oh, we're pre-streaming right now? We're pre-streaming right now. OK, do not do an ad, Linus.

11
00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:40,600
Do not do a sponsor read. Do not do an ad? They hate those.

12
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaking of hating those. I.

13
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,760
Here's something you won't hate. My hat.

14
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,960
Yeah, brought to you by hats.com. I have no idea what hats.com is.

15
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:59,200
Don't go there. Brought to you by my grandma. Maybe they have fishing hats, and they take all your information.

16
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,280
That'd be a great fishing hat. That really would be a great fishing hat.

17
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,920
You could put like bits of bait on the end of each of those. That would be a funny merch item.

18
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,640
Fishing hat, and it just like has a QR code on the front.

19
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:16,680
Oh, and it's gone. And it goes to a site that just asks you to enter your information.

20
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,960
Just like a fishing hat style hat. Is that as funny as I think it is?

21
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:25,240
Why haven't we made that already? I'm just checking down. Just check.

22
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,960
Dan confirms indeed funny. So we're going to be talking to other people a lot today.

23
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:33,320
Andy, basically, if I'm not looking at you,

24
00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:39,000
follow me kind of thing in general. So if I'm like talking to Riley for a bit,

25
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,680
then assume that he might respond it. So oh my god, Riley.

26
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,480
Can't get me. This is why we don't let him on LTT.

27
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,920
Can't get me. What? Andy, what is your number one?

28
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,920
All right, cool. Flow Plane Chat loves the fishing hat.

29
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,080
Yeah, that's fair. Birthday fish hat. Dang.

30
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:06,120
Did we really go with that for the title? Building PCs until I get good at it.

31
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:14,560
OK, cool. I'm only 16. Yeah, we pitched a few different options for title, I guess.

32
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,640
I guess that's what we settled on. Double Swing 16.

33
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:21,680
What is going on with my? You know what I think it is, Andy? I think we need to pair another controller.

34
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,480
This one just disconnected. And it was being really leggy before.

35
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,480
Can we pair a different controller? OK, that would be great.

36
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,640
Because it was like, I'd click, and it would be like,

37
00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:37,520
and then it would go. And so it was very distracting and hard to find the right spot.

38
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,640
It's not going to matter for most of the stream, but I want to make sure we know the intro.

39
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:45,760
So, Vance, do you happen to know? Oh, it has to delay now, the extra prompt we know.

40
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,000
Do I only really need it for the intro? Nice.

41
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,400
I knew they were here somewhere.

42
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,760
Ah, got a remote.

43
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,840
8-bit dough reached out. They offered to do a custom, like, LTT colorway for the ones

44
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,200
that I use for prompter remotes. I was tempted to ask them to make one that's, like, not

45
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:11,440
a controller that is actually more useful as a prompter remote, but I didn't want to be too needy.

46
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:14,840
Bluetooth.

47
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,240
Well, no, that's problematic for its own reasons.

48
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:28,240
Do you see the blurred out things? Well, occasionally it kind of dangles down, like,

49
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:34,080
kind of here when I'm leaning over. So the pink one, people have been applying blur filters

50
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,680
to them as they, like, dangle there. It's a dual shot.

51
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,440
You never can tell what those redditors are going to do.

52
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:55,480
Should I forget it? Yeah, we could be. All right.

53
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,760
OK. All right, Dlinus, try that.

54
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:04,400
Sorry, excuse me. Oh, thank you. Thank you, kind of. Oh, wow, this is a great teleprompter.

55
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,480
Oh, God, I got it, I got it. Thanks, Andy.

56
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,600
OK, oh, she's so responsive. Look at that.

57
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,400
Look at that. All right, we doing this thing? Let's do this thing!

58
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,920
See, you're going to get so many headshots with that prompter. So many headshots.

59
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,120
Oh, yeah, because it's low-latency, I get it. Hit markers.

60
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,120
OK, perfect. Dan, did you hear that?

61
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,320
Oh, yeah. Does it sound like Call of Duty hit markers? They do. Just like them.

62
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,480
Thank you. Thank you, Riley. Thank you.

63
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,080
It's a good thing you're here. I got all the tech tips.

64
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,720
Who are my other co-hosts? Are they in, like, in the same room?

65
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,880
You don't need any one else.

66
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,740
I got all the tech tips you need. Ah!

67
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,480
All right, cool. Oliver says at least buy us dinner first.

68
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:04,280
What? Well, about your mouth sounds.

69
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:08,640
What? You should be so lucky. OK, all the mouth sounds you need.

70
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,080
OK, let's do this thing. I'm pushing it.

71
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:17,400
I'm pushing it. I'm pushing the boundaries of good taste. And I've got Riley here to help.

72
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,840
Who else?

73
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:25,080
Oh, right. I was going to put the hat on. How's my hair?

74
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,600
Beautiful. Are you going to be wearing a hat anyway? Here.

75
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,000
I'm going to take it off after. It's your birthday, Linus.

76
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,200
Just wing it. Whatever goes.

77
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:41,000
This isn't 16 candles. I said 16 candles.

78
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,400
This is bull spit. This is eight candles.

79
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,160
Oh, is it eight, though? Times two.

80
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,160
Because it's a double sweet 16 birthday.

81
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:58,240
I love playing the diva character. But enough people in our audience take it seriously.

82
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,560
And then I don't really get to do it anymore. Wait, it's a character?

83
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,400
Wait. What are you talking about, Linus?

84
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,080
OK. He was hitting me minutes ago.

85
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,600
OK, I'm punching it. I'm punching it.

86
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,840
It's the stream, not you, Riley.

87
00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:23,700
Not when we're live. OK.

88
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,480
OK. OK. Oh, quiet, that's it.

89
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:38,400
For like four hours. So if you need like 30 seconds, now's a good time to tell us.

90
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:43,320
Do you need 30 seconds? They can't even.

91
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,840
Yvonne can confirm. I've got 30 seconds. All right.

92
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:49,040
What? I can give you 30 seconds. I don't even.

93
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:57,840
No, all right, here we go. Yvonne, get out of the way.

94
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:01,840
OK, all right, all right, I'm punching it. I'm punching it.

95
00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:05,600
Punch it, shall we? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, except me.

96
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,200
Because we actually have some. OK, hold on, I hit it, I hit it.

97
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,400
We're doing a parsec.

98
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:16,180
OK.

99
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:43,520
And we're live. We are celebrating 16 years as a channel.

100
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:51,600
And 16 million subscribers, and we're doing it the best way

101
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:56,480
we know how by building computers with some generous help

102
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:01,280
from our sponsor, Java. And from many of your favorite hardware manufacturers,

103
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,440
we are building 16 gaming PCs that we're

104
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:09,080
going to sell on Java for an amazing price of just $1,600

105
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,680
each, and we will be donating the profits to charity.

106
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,720
We're also going to be looking back at 16 years of memories,

107
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,840
testing my recollection with some pricing challenges.

108
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:24,160
Oh, no. And we're going to do it all in just four hours.

109
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,240
Oh my god, we barely started and we're already

110
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,960
like an hour behind, actually. OK, what am I supposed to be doing next?

111
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,720
Ah, yes, when in doubt, segue to our sponsor.

112
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,720
Java is the number one gaming marketplace to buy and sell gaming gear and get

113
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:45,760
awesome custom PCs at the best prices. With Black Friday, just days away,

114
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,960
what better time to buy a new custom gaming computer than now

115
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,920
on Java.gg. Java's PC Finder can help you find the perfect PC

116
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,480
with just a few quick questions about how you game and how much you want to spend, and you don't even

117
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:03,400
have to give them your email. Everything we're about to build should be already live on Java.

118
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:08,640
So all you've got to do is check out the links in the description. It is continental US only, sorry rest of world,

119
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,360
including my fellow Canadian patriots. Also, the buyer may need to pay duties,

120
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,800
but hey, we're doing our best with it. We're going to tell you a little more about Java a little

121
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:20,200
later, but first, we have got some work to do. We've got to get to building.

122
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,200
And I think the building that I'm supposed to get to

123
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,240
is over here with my co-host Riley.

124
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,720
Welcome Linus to my build station.

125
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,480
We've got two different base builds. One is AMD, one is Intel.

126
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,240
We're going to be building eight of each of them, two at a time.

127
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:44,560
We'll talk about each part at some point during the afternoon, but maybe not during every single build.

128
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:48,680
The exact GPUs are going to be the one thing that varies.

129
00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:51,800
Java sent over a dozen GPUs for us,

130
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,200
and Jordan over there is going to be interrupting us

131
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,880
with some memories from each of our 16 years

132
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:05,160
as a channel as we go. So without further ado, why don't we get started?

133
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,720
Which one do you want to do Riley? I don't know.

134
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,560
It's been a long time since I actually built a PC. I don't know if I've.

135
00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:15,840
I did build some at LCT, but I was going to say since NCIX,

136
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,560
but no, it's been. Are these custom stickers?

137
00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:24,040
That's so cool. Double Suite 16. Are we putting them on the computers?

138
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:29,360
That is so cool too. 32 stream.

139
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,800
Because it's double Suite 16. I get it Riley.

140
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,800
Thank you.

141
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,080
Are we supposed to say what the components are? We're just doing it. We're just going.

142
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,400
We could just do it if you want. We only have half an hour.

143
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,240
We have half an hour. I have half an hour until I phase out of existence. We have half an hour?

144
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:51,120
Well, 28 minutes now. Well, I do. Well, is he going to build a new PC every half hour?

145
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:56,160
He's going every half hour. Fine. You better hurry up. Yeah, I'm going to actually have to go pretty quick.

146
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,360
No pressure on me. OK, well, hey, while I get the motherboard and CPU

147
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,080
and stuff built up, why don't we do your first little memory

148
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:10,000
thing, Jordan? All righty then. Well, let's talk about the first memory

149
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:15,120
from our first year, which was November 2008 to 2009.

150
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,760
What video do you think got the most views in that time?

151
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,240
2008 to 2009? Yeah.

152
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:27,080
Brother, I probably couldn't tell you a single video

153
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,560
that we uploaded in 2008 to 2009.

154
00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:34,960
OK. All right, well, let's get there. No, no, no, no, I'm going to try. All right. No, I'm going to try.

155
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:42,200
I'm going to say it was an unboxing, which

156
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,520
is, I know, a very bold guess, you know,

157
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,200
that's pretty much everything we uploaded on the channel was unboxings at that time.

158
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,600
It was just all unboxing. I'm going to say it was an unboxing.

159
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,880
And is the question, which one got the most views

160
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,920
during that time frame? Or which one got? During that year. During, oh.

161
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,040
During the first year of LTC's existence. During the first year.

162
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:08,440
Yeah, I went by each individual year.

163
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,880
Oh, boy. OK. We're going to have Dan throw up the thumbnail. Maybe that'll give you a clue.

164
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,000
No, no, no, no, no. I don't need the thumbnail. I don't need any hints.

165
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,880
Why was the fire truck that year? No. No. No, it was not in the first year.

166
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,840
I'm going to say it was an unboxing. Oh, I'm torn.

167
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,440
I'm torn. OK, I'm going to let Riley pick. What category do you think it was? I'm going to let Riley pick.

168
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,200
OK. Do you think it was a motherboard or a case?

169
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,280
In 2008 to 2009? Yes. Big year for motherboards.

170
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:39,160
Riley, you weren't even working in the PC industry yet. Big one. And I remember it like it was yesterday.

171
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:43,680
You were a Mac guy. You have no idea what was going on in the PC space at that time.

172
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:50,040
I was a Mac guy at that time. I was still rocking my Core 2 Duo white MacBook

173
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,120
that I got for university. Nice. OK.

174
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,640
But I installed wine on it. OK. I was kind of a dork.

175
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,840
That's pretty cool. OK. That's pretty cool. Did you install wine or do you spill wine on it?

176
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:06,720
Huh? A little bit of both. I'm in second year university sitting at home,

177
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,600
swilling, burning the midnight wine oil, studying.

178
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,240
Yes. Economics.

179
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,040
Is that what you studied? No. I was just trying to think of something

180
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:22,880
that you might study in university. Right. Got it. What did you study in university?

181
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:27,200
I actually don't know the answer. I got a psychology degree.

182
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,880
How's that working out for you? Great. I've learned so much about you.

183
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,120
Oh. You know what? That's kind of fun.

184
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,560
I said in the what if like to work, did you watch it?

185
00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:44,360
No, I'm not allowed. Oh, right. Well, I'll tell you just this part. Once the company, I told myself that once the company was

186
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,640
shut down and or none of those people worked here anymore,

187
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:52,120
then I would allow myself to watch it. I'll tell you just this one thing I say. If I retire, I'm allowed to watch it.

188
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,160
I did say that I have a psychology degree.

189
00:13:55,160 --> 00:14:00,280
And that's sort of a joke, because it's not actually true. I'm like, I could talk for hours about blindness

190
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,800
and psychological profile or something to that degree. OK. Could you talk for?

191
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,920
Nope. Not right now. Is that like an ethical thing?

192
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:12,200
Like you're not allowed to? No, of course. It's the doctor-patient confidentiality.

193
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,920
Like we could do a session. We could do a session. We could. We could do a session right now.

194
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,680
I'm sure the people would love it. You still haven't guessed what the friggin thing is. Well, you still haven't told me what category it's in.

195
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:29,400
Motherboards. Motherboards. You were stalling. OK. I'm going to go with Rampage 2 Extreme Motherboard Unboxing.

196
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,920
Not even close. Not, not. Well, OK. Are you even the real Linus?

197
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,160
I've got a camera right here. It's OK. Oh, he's got a camera.

198
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,520
This big thing right here is called a camera.

199
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:47,760
OK, look. In fairness to me, hold on a second. In fairness to me, this place is covered in cameras.

200
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:52,880
How am I supposed to know which camera is pointed at anybody? I mean, Dan doesn't even have a camera pointed at him.

201
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,880
So Dan, are you just flipping between all the things?

202
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,360
Are you moving all over the place? Oh, is this the one? Ice cheating. Get it in.

203
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,320
Stop. He's got the video on the screen.

204
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,120
Get out of here. This guy. This guy's like an old timey.

205
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,120
What are you doing here, man? Come on.

206
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,960
Oh, man. OK, all right. So not even close.

207
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:19,600
Not even close. OK, well, I saw it's a GPU. Yep.

208
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:25,160
Man. Maybe this will help you. It's got 25,000 views in that year.

209
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:30,120
25,000 views? It's actually had more views this month

210
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:31,680
than it did in the first month it was out.

211
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:41,320
Wow. What was even the hotness back then?

212
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,800
What if I break something here? Do I take this off? Don't do that.

213
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,160
No, no, don't take it off. You just leave it like that. You can just kind of slide.

214
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:53,800
So they did a little bit of pre-building for us, but in some ways it's actually complicating the situation

215
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,280
because it prevents the hold down on the ILM

216
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,680
from actually coming all the way up.

217
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:05,320
So you'll just have to kind of hold this here. See, like the CPU in there.

218
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:09,880
It's been so long that I've built a PC. The last time I built a Ryzen PC,

219
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:14,440
it had the pins where the opposite way. Yeah, yeah. It was not LGA.

220
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,520
The other one. PGA. Yeah? Yeah, you didn't get the old.

221
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,880
No. That's right, though, right? PGA?

222
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,160
Yeah, what the? I'm all about tech news now.

223
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,200
I'm all about just talking about platforms and Google and antitrust.

224
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:34,000
Yeah, it's LandGridAway. Man, I am off today.

225
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,120
I have now tripped over my own tongue. Like four times already on the stream.

226
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:42,040
LandGolf Association. LandGridArray.

227
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:46,040
As opposed to the much more difficult Seagolf or PinGrid

228
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:51,800
Array, those are the two options. Man, these are nice machines for $1,600.

229
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:56,160
We're going to get into a little bit more detail later, but we've got 7,800x3D processors.

230
00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:01,600
It looks like we've got 32 gigs of DDR5 memory.

231
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:06,400
All the GPUs are going to be a little bit all over the place. But the point is that at retail,

232
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:12,720
these would be costing hundreds of dollars more. And because of the generosity of our partners

233
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,320
who provided the vast majority of the parts for them, here's your RAM, Riley.

234
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:20,760
Oh, thank you. Yeah, we just kind of randomly moved the parts around.

235
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,320
Because of the generosity of our partners who provided all these parts, when

236
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:31,440
we donate the profits from them, it's not going to be like 10% or whatever it would normally

237
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:36,720
be when you're building a computer. It's going to be darn near the entire amount of the computer,

238
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:41,880
because most of these parts were sent over for this charity build stream, which is pretty exciting for me.

239
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,920
And when we talk about profits from the computers, it's the recrypto mining, right?

240
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,400
What? Oh, man. What year do you think it is?

241
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,560
It's been a while. Look, I'm building PCs. It's taking me back.

242
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:57,120
Like, am I at NCIX right now? That would be funny if it was like a year ago,

243
00:17:57,120 --> 00:18:01,120
but we are headed into another crypto boom.

244
00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:05,120
So I have no idea what GPU pricing is going to look like. Oh, I don't say that.

245
00:18:05,120 --> 00:18:09,280
Well, I should probably. Just because I don't say it is not going to change the reality.

246
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,160
We actually have a video coming on the main channel very soon.

247
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:17,240
How do you use 9-channel? Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa.

248
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:22,800
We have a video coming on the main channel really soon asking and trying to answer the question,

249
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:27,160
is now a good time to build a PC? And there's a lot of factors to consider.

250
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:32,120
Like, on the one hand, you've got, according to the rumors,

251
00:18:32,120 --> 00:18:36,960
NVIDIA's 50 series coming. But on the other hand, according to the rumors,

252
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,800
and also, you know, NVIDIA's pattern of behavior. Intel.

253
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,000
Oh, sorry. No, you go, you go, you go, you go. I have so many thoughts.

254
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:50,200
50 series isn't going to be cheap. And also, that could be exacerbated

255
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,360
by the incoming US administration's plans

256
00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:58,240
to put some serious tariffs on basically all goods coming

257
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:02,160
from, well, pretty much anywhere.

258
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,360
I've caught up to you, by the way. You've caught up to me.

259
00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:10,080
I thought you were ahead the whole time. No. No, that won't be the case.

260
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,960
Sorry. OK, so sorry. You had some thoughts on whether now is a good time to buy a PC.

261
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:19,000
Well, no. I just thought you were mentioned to NVIDIA's cards coming up.

262
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,600
Just this. Allegedly. Maybe. We don't know anything.

263
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:30,080
That's what the rumors have been pointing to. And if we did, we wouldn't tell you. And this week, there were also rumors about Intel's GPUs.

264
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,080
I did see those rumors. Yeah.

265
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:38,400
I did see those rumors. Does this feel like a make or break moment for Intel's GPU

266
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:44,280
division? Jeez, Louise. Like, if Battle Mage does not absolutely crush it,

267
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,520
and move some serious numbers, are they just going to pack the whole thing up?

268
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,720
Yeah. Well, I mean, I thought that they were packing this thing up

269
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,240
already, because there were previous rumors talking about how they were like, OK,

270
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,920
we're not really going to focus on discrete GPUs, like in the investor calls and stuff.

271
00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:03,640
Yeah, that wasn't even just a rumor. That was the CEO directly.

272
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,960
You were just saying, we're not really going to focus on it. Yeah.

273
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:12,640
How do I, what is this? Oh, this whole thing comes out. That's a big yikes if you're working on discrete GPUs

274
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:18,000
at Intel. Not to be clear. I'm not saying they're going to stop developing GPUs

275
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,200
anytime soon. Now that we've seen Battle Mage integrated into what

276
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:28,640
has been a, I mean, by Intel's recent standards,

277
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,840
successful launch, the integrated GPUs on Lunar Lake

278
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,400
are part of what makes those processors a compelling option

279
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:43,720
against AMD's own. So I don't think that Intel's GPU architecture unit

280
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,440
is going to go anywhere, but it does seem kind of unlikely

281
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:52,640
if these Battle Mage discrete GPUs don't absolutely crush it.

282
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:57,040
It seems kind of unlikely that we're going to see many more of them in the future.

283
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:01,720
Well, I have to say, yeah, I mean, the one that was leaked, so there was an Amazon listing leaked for the,

284
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,880
oh, I missed this. Yeah, this was just this week, just on the weekend,

285
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,120
actually, the ARC B580.

286
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:13,680
So not the top one that they do, which was the A770,

287
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,920
or the A750. 50, this is the A580.

288
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,800
So this is the B580, the successor to their lowest one.

289
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,440
I think it was one of the lowest.

290
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,560
That's mine. Yeah, I know, but I already put my box away. Can I have your thermal goop, please?

291
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:34,600
I'm just about to use it. Fine. While you're waiting, how about that video you can't remember?

292
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,400
Oh, yeah, right. I should try and guess that video, then.

293
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,080
OK, GPU 2008, 2009.

294
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,640
This is post-8800 GTS. This is pre-98.

295
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,640
Is this 8800 GT?

296
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:58,520
You know what? How much do you use? Is that too much? I'm going to say it's an EVGA 9800 GT.

297
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,880
Is that too much? A little bit more. No, all right, fine. Can you just?

298
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,360
All right. I'll put you out of your misery. Yeah, put me out of my misery.

299
00:22:06,360 --> 00:22:10,040
Show me the video. Dan's got the thumbnail there.

300
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:15,680
OK, where's the thumbnail? On his live screen there. There's a computer screen in between me and that screen.

301
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,120
Oh, yeah. A computer screen, a computer tower. Hang on a second.

302
00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:23,520
We'll fix that. It's not a screen. It's quite opaque.

303
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,040
Oh, it's an XFX.

304
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:34,040
So that would be a 9800 GTX.

305
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:40,520
5870. A 5870. Had they already made the switch to Radeon only?

306
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:45,240
I'm not sure. No kidding. You're a fake tech tipper.

307
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,880
Even I knew that. I totally forgot when XFX made the decision.

308
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:54,560
I wonder all these years later, if they regret that move

309
00:22:54,560 --> 00:23:01,920
or not, because the old school among you will remember that like EVGA and BFG,

310
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,600
XFX was actually NVIDIA exclusive

311
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:13,680
before they went AMD exclusive. They are, to my knowledge, the one exclusive NVIDIA board

312
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:19,040
partner who has ever just gone completely the other way

313
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:23,600
and gone AMD or, well, Radeon exclusive.

314
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:28,880
I think Gainword may have been NVIDIA exclusive at some point.

315
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:33,320
Don't quote me on that one. In fact, don't anybody quote me on anything

316
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:38,280
because I'm going to get my cheat sheet or, as I call them,

317
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,960
Le Chat, the cat, the chat. I'm going to bring the chat up and see

318
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,880
if you guys can remember anything that I'm forgetting here.

319
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:51,200
Here we go. First time float planer, love the show. OK, great.

320
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:57,200
I don't think that's working. We've had some intranet issues today,

321
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:02,160
which is why the stream started an hour behind schedule.

322
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:09,120
Oh, man. This is really taxing my brain here.

323
00:24:09,120 --> 00:24:12,560
It's been a while. Really? I don't do this anymore.

324
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,080
Yeah, I guess that kind of makes sense. I stopped writing LTT videos because I really

325
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,480
wanted to make tech longer than you let me to my surprise.

326
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:24,600
Yeah, how are those doing? How are those doing? I've looked at the analytics for those lately.

327
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,640
Oh, I mean, they just take too long. OK, well, I mean, it is right in the name.

328
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,840
But we'll have to see. Take longers. Take longers.

329
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,920
I think that was that joke. It was made a number of times.

330
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:39,320
Has that joke been made? Have I made that joke before? Yes, I believe so. Oh, OK, I don't remember making that joke.

331
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:44,960
I thought it was fresh. I think everyone made it. We all made it. We were having a great time together.

332
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,160
Sorry, Riley. No, it was good.

333
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,600
All right, I think I have my chat working now. Oh, I should pause these because I'm

334
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,960
tethered to my phone right now. I need to go all the way with that one. Yeah, yours are tight.

335
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,840
Yes, you go all the way until it bottoms out. I'm just trying to be like you, Linus.

336
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:05,080
So I have a quick question for you, Jordan. Yes, sir.

337
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:12,280
Not that I'm implying anything about my current co-host or anything of that nature.

338
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:16,320
But how much help am I expecting to have, like, completing these PCs?

339
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,680
Like, do most of the co-hosts. I'm helping you right now. You really are.

340
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,440
Do most of the co-hosts know how to build computers?

341
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,120
Or am I going to be kind of? I know how to build computers. There's a mix.

342
00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:31,080
Let's put that away. I just care about quality over quantity, OK?

343
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:36,600
Take longers, right there. You have a mix of a veteran and somewhat less veteran help.

344
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,600
Got it. Just so that we can sort of gear me up and prepare me

345
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,720
for what's going to be happening today, who's my most veteran co-builder?

346
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,760
Jeez, Linus. Don't say Riley.

347
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:52,280
Don't say Riley. I'm honestly probably on the upper level side, right?

348
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,840
I'll give it to Jake. Jake, OK. So Jake's my most veteran builder.

349
00:25:55,840 --> 00:26:00,840
He's a pretty veteran builder. Jake's OK. He's a young man, but he's definitely

350
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,960
built his fair share of computers. OK. And who's my least veteran builder today?

351
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,920
Please say Riley. Please say Riley. No, not Riley. Not Riley.

352
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:16,200
OK, OK. I built, I mean, this is why it is so funny,

353
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,480
because I feel like I built, particularly at NCIX,

354
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,520
I built a crap ton of PCs. Oh, yeah, 100%. It's between a couple of people.

355
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:29,240
We'll find out later. I feel like close to 100 over the years.

356
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:34,200
Yeah, I'm probably. I just pulled that completely out of my butt. Well, yeah, but you were the main techie guy.

357
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,640
I was the guy. At NCIX at that time. At a certain time.

358
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:42,040
Yeah. Chris was there. Yep.

359
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,040
And other people. Actually, you know what?

360
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:49,760
I'm going to say. Did I do this wrong? No, no. Because one of them will normally you would have,

361
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:54,160
I shouldn't say normally, often these days, you'll have a CPU fan header, and then you'll

362
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,320
have like a CPU opt or like a secondary CPU fan header.

363
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:02,800
But on this motherboard, you've got a CPU fan header. You've got a pump fan, which often by default

364
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:07,440
is configured to run at 100%. And then you've also got a system fan header up here.

365
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,000
So because I just stabbed my finger.

366
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:15,280
It's not bleeding. I don't have to fill out the form. Nobody saw it.

367
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:20,480
So I just did it again. Wow, that RGB header is really sharp.

368
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,680
We're using this as evidence. I just stabbed two of my fingers.

369
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:27,280
We're off to a really good start here. Well, don't show them the wound.

370
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:33,480
You did it for charity, Linus. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They take blood out of the food bank, right?

371
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,920
Yeah. You could buy a system with Linus blood in it.

372
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,520
No, that's fine. What? Yeah, no, that's fine. No, it's going to go this way.

373
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,720
We want to go that way, don't we? It's not. It's not going this way. You're good.

374
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,400
Don't worry, Riley. You're doing a great job. Your instincts.

375
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,320
Oh, no, you're right. I have kicked in. Your PC building muscle memory.

376
00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:54,560
Double-checking things before you get too far in. Has taken over.

377
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,640
And then you build the entire thing, and you realize you have to disassemble the entire thing

378
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,240
because one thing went wrong. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but nothing went wrong. You're doing great.

379
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,360
Honestly, you're a little slow. I mean, the fact that I'm like.

380
00:28:05,360 --> 00:28:08,440
Can you just? Hey, he's got 11 minutes left.

381
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,840
He's got tons of time. Yeah, we've got 11 minutes to finish this. The PC's basically built.

382
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:17,360
And we have to stay on schedule today. Like, we don't really have a choice,

383
00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:20,880
because other hosts are coming in.

384
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:27,240
They're coming in hot, Riley. They're coming in. Yeah, but I'm stressed.

385
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:32,360
I want to do it go as far as I can, but at the same time, I'm not going to get in trouble.

386
00:28:32,360 --> 00:28:35,440
If I don't finish this, or wait, yep.

387
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,440
Yeah, I don't think you do. Are there stakes?

388
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:43,800
I don't think. Yeah. Hey, Jordan, are there any stakes? Like, if people don't finish, does that person just

389
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,240
get like crapier, unfinished PC? Like, is that the idea?

390
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:51,760
Like, do we get stakes at the end? Who brought out this anti-static strap?

391
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,160
It came with the pad. It came with the pad.

392
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:59,200
Oh, it came with the mod mat that were, hey, are we ever launching this thing?

393
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:03,200
Do you know? Can you? Do you want to send a quick message over to Nick? I have no internet.

394
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,280
Oh. We'll talk to him later.

395
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:11,480
Right, the internet problems. Yeah. Guys, it has been an actual adventure today.

396
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,720
It's been. Zoomer says, Linus, quick question. How many screwdrivers does it take to solve all my tech

397
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:20,640
problems? Well.

398
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,400
Legitimate question, though. I mean, I'm sure that every tech problem could be solved

399
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:28,560
with some amount of screwdrivers. You just have to get creative. Yeah, I mean, you need thermal paste.

400
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,080
Like, there's metal and screwdrivers. If you grind it up fine enough, you

401
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,440
could kind of put it in there. Mix it in with a little bit of peanut butter

402
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,840
or like toothpaste or something. I think you could make that work.

403
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,040
As Alex Clark did. It was like pretty bad tech advice.

404
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,200
Well, look, if people wanted good tech advice,

405
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:50,160
then they can go watch Toasty Bros. OK? This is, we're an entertainment channel.

406
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:54,800
Purely an entertainment channel. I get such a kick out of that, right?

407
00:29:54,800 --> 00:30:00,240
Because I get about for, I think for every,

408
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:05,720
LTT is just entertainment. For every one of those messages that I see,

409
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,120
I get a message or an email at my inbox

410
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:15,080
or I have an interaction with someone in person that's like, dude, LTT kickstarted me on my IT career.

411
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,920
And I'm like a system admin now or I just finished my,

412
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,480
I just finished my degree in Compsi or whatever else.

413
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,360
I think that people, I think that people underestimate

414
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:30,360
how hard our writing team, people like Jordan work

415
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,760
to make sure that the content, yes, is entertaining because that matters.

416
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:39,800
I mean, think back to your teachers, right? If you had an entertaining teacher in school,

417
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,800
were you like, oh yeah, but it's like just entertainment.

418
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,760
No, the best ones will entertain you while also teaching you something.

419
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,920
Do we get absolutely everything right and are we absolutely perfect?

420
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,080
And do we go into the greatest depth on every subject? No.

421
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,320
That's what you go to TechLinked for.

422
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:01,160
Subscribe today. Yeah, subscribe to TechLinked.

423
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,440
That's where you'll get the deepest, the deepest depth.

424
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,280
The deepest, yeah, analysis, expert.

425
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:13,760
All right. But, but we do go out of our way

426
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,520
to bury, to bury knowledge nuggets, you know?

427
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,400
In between all of our, in between all of our cars, okay?

428
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,960
And mansions, okay? We also want to deliver on knowledge.

429
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,160
Knowledge. Is he still culturally relevant?

430
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:35,160
I don't know, but I made the same reference the other day and I was like, I don't, maybe this isn't a good idea.

431
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:40,040
Like on, like on the show or like in person. You know what I like more than tech tips?

432
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:44,080
Knowledge. Knowledge. I don't think he has a New York accent,

433
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,760
but I did it for a second. Okay, Riley. Let's have some fun.

434
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,100
At least I'm gonna have fun. Don't do it. What? No, I'm gonna have fun.

435
00:31:51,100 --> 00:31:54,760
I don't know if you're gonna have fun, but I'm gonna have fun. You put that in? Wait, I want you to do.

436
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,760
Don't I put, can you do some accents for me? No.

437
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,000
Like how many accents can you do? You know what? It's a bit of a dance.

438
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,400
Let's have, let's have fun. Andrew, Andrew, can you do it for a second?

439
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,360
You know what? Let's have fun. Yeah, let's have fun. I've decided today we're gonna have fun.

440
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,920
I can't borrow you, Andrew. We have fun here. Can you go stand next to Riley for a second?

441
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,560
No, no, no, no, no. No, not with Andrew. No. Okay.

442
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,640
Come on, Riley. Riley, can you do it? No, no. Riley has an Irish accent.

443
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,720
I couldn't, I couldn't possibly. There's no way.

444
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,920
Don't, don't make me do it, Linus. I won't.

445
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,920
No, no, it doesn't matter what I think. It matters what you think.

446
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,800
How invariant it's over, Riley. I can't deal with it.

447
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:38,600
Well, cause I don't know, I, I, you did reveal what area of Ireland you're from.

448
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:43,240
I've revealed it, yeah. Yeah. But I, I, I have one Irish accent.

449
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,720
I don't know like the different, you know? So.

450
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,800
You don't. All right. There's someone in the middle, I don't know.

451
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,160
I have one Irish accent. You don't even have that.

452
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:58,120
I'm sorry. Thanks, Andrew. I'm so sorry to put you both on the spot.

453
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:03,200
I'm not actually sorry. I actually found that really funny, but I'm not even sorry a little bit.

454
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,040
I didn't know that part comes off.

455
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,920
Why don't we shout out our first donor company here?

456
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,800
Oh, let's do that. Let's shout out our first donor company.

457
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,160
Okay. Jordan, do you want to do that? Cause I don't actually know who they are.

458
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,640
It's right on the screen here for you. Oh, it's right on the screen.

459
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:25,120
Kingston. There you go. Kingston sent over eight of their,

460
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,920
what are they, NV3s? NV3, two terabyte. Of the two terabyte.

461
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,160
Yep. They sent over 16.

462
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:36,200
Nope, eight. They sent over eight of their two terabyte SSDs

463
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:41,060
for these machines. That is all completely free of charge,

464
00:33:41,060 --> 00:33:44,080
which means that when we go and we donate the profits

465
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,240
from these machines to, oh boy, this is kind of scary.

466
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:53,200
When we go to donate the profits of these machines to charity, the entire value of those SSDs

467
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:58,000
will be part of that donation. Now, my understanding is that we have not actually settled

468
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,320
on an exact charity. Is that correct?

469
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:05,880
We're looking at probably a local food bank, but the exact one is not certain yet.

470
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,480
You know what? It seems like a good time,

471
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,880
a good time to donate to the local food bank. Well, things being challenging

472
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,200
and this being a particularly challenging time of year.

473
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,440
So hopefully we can get that processed pretty quickly

474
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,480
and help make a few people's Christmas

475
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:27,800
a little bit more merry. Is that magnetic? That's the plan for now.

476
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,340
Is which magnetic? This little doohickey here. Corsair.

477
00:34:31,340 --> 00:34:36,280
It really looks like it is, but. Corsair links. It is the least of my concerns right now

478
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:40,880
because I'm trying to figure out why my motherboard's not going in. You guys have five minutes left here.

479
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:45,160
Oh, come on. Oh, you know what? We got another memory we had to get to as well.

480
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:50,760
Okay. So Dan, do you have any merch messages? We're kind of on some casual Black Friday sales

481
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,080
on LTT Store. Yeah, we're getting to clock out a lot too.

482
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,520
Are any people picking up merch messages? Yeah, there's quite a few coming in.

483
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:01,080
All right, hit me, Dan. Sure, I love the magnetic cable management idea,

484
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:05,680
but it's a little on the expensive side. Have you ran into any competition with this product?

485
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:10,000
Has anyone tried to copy or undercut you to your customers?

486
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:14,000
That's a really good question. So the thing about our magnetic cable management

487
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,560
is that a majority of the cost

488
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:24,360
is in the neodymium magnets. So neodymium is, you know, a commodity material,

489
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:29,600
which means that the price is the price. So no matter where you are or who you are

490
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,720
or what currency you buy in or sell in.

491
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:39,440
And so in terms of undercutting, right, you could try to undercut us on the neodymium

492
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:43,720
by just taking less margin. But I can tell you that, you know,

493
00:35:43,720 --> 00:35:46,720
if you're an Amazon marketplace seller, for instance,

494
00:35:46,720 --> 00:35:51,040
you're probably gonna be spending about what our margin is on that product,

495
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:57,040
just on Amazon listing and selling fees. So you're not gonna be competing with us on Amazon.

496
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:01,640
And if you're sort of, you know, running your own marketplace or whatever else,

497
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:06,680
then you're probably gonna wanna make some margin. So you're probably gonna be priced similarly to us

498
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:10,080
because the reality of it is is once you are,

499
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:17,240
once you're working with injection molding, plastics are functionally very little cost

500
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:21,920
and the same for the little plates that we have for them that so you can attach them to like, you know,

501
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:26,120
wood surfaces or whatever else. Like those are literally pennies.

502
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:33,240
The vast majority of the cost is in the neodymium. So because neodymium costs what it costs,

503
00:36:33,240 --> 00:36:38,480
it's gonna be pretty hard to undercut us without significantly harming the quality.

504
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:45,040
What makes the magnetic cable management products work so well is that the magnets are super, super strong

505
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,640
and they hold stuff really, really well.

506
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:53,960
And so if you were to have a competing product that's the same as LTT magnetic cable management,

507
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:58,040
but with less magnet in it, then you would just have a worse product.

508
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,280
So will someone make a worse product at a lower price?

509
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:06,000
Probably, but I don't really have any interest in competing in that space.

510
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:11,560
If they wanna do that, I think that's chill. And yeah, I'm not into it.

511
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:15,560
So, no, I'm not really worried. On the round ones.

512
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:20,480
Riley! Mine is, Riley! Listen, for crying out loud, Riley, it's a charity.

513
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:24,520
Yeah, you're gonna dent the glass panel.

514
00:37:25,720 --> 00:37:30,120
Dent it. Two minute warning. You could dent it? Two minutes? Two minutes?

515
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:34,320
Geez, you know, I was actually feeling pretty good because I was pretty close to you.

516
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,760
We got our case out at the same time

517
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:41,720
and I had my mother, I mean, you were talking the whole time.

518
00:37:41,720 --> 00:37:46,240
What else is new, you know what I mean? Geez, wow.

519
00:37:46,240 --> 00:37:49,520
Wow, Riley, thank you for that. What a guy.

520
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:53,080
And now I'm just way behind it, just like, geez. Don't worry, Riley.

521
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:56,120
I think that you are doing absolutely...

522
00:37:56,120 --> 00:38:00,200
What are you doing? Oh, geez, Rick, I gotta put the screws in the...

523
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,540
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. In the motherboard. Oh, yeah, yeah, no, that's great. I mean, that's good.

524
00:38:03,540 --> 00:38:07,200
That's where the screws go in there, right? They do, I think they go... Well, they don't go in the motherboard.

525
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,200
They go in the case, through a hole in the motherboard.

526
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:14,480
Through the... You know, so it's attached like a motherboard should be.

527
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,880
Yeah, right. That's what you usually do.

528
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:26,000
Dan, do you want to hit me with a merge message? Yeah. I'm not gonna lie, I'm getting a little stressed out here

529
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:31,040
because even I who build a lot of computers like now...

530
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:35,320
Oh, I didn't put the shield in. You didn't put the IO shield in.

531
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:38,800
Classy. It's always the... Oh, no. At least I checked.

532
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:44,200
Yeah, now was a better time to check than after you had put in all of the...

533
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:48,320
All the screws. All the motherboard screws. You're getting stressed because why?

534
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:52,960
Because even I who build computers on a fairly regular basis still,

535
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,040
not exactly finishing these in half an hour.

536
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:00,600
We're gonna have to try and get a little faster. I feel like that's like the...

537
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:07,400
Fastest people can do half an hour. I mean, I'm sure some of the builders at NCIX could do that.

538
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,480
No, in the I Love... In the I Love Building computers stream

539
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,760
where I was actually trying to build them as fast as possible,

540
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:17,480
I think I got down to about eight or nine minutes, I want to say.

541
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:21,200
What? 17? Is that...

542
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:25,040
Oh, I thought it was lower than that. Oh my goodness. So I'm actually gonna have to haul,

543
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:29,160
but in order to make this happen. You know what? I can do it though.

544
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:33,800
So are we gonna time each one? We're gonna time each one. Yep, you're moving over here now.

545
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:37,960
No, no, I gotta finish. We gotta set a baseline. No, no, we got guys coming in to finish for you.

546
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:42,400
I know, but I gotta set a baseline, at least for my machine. Don't worry, I'm gonna make it up in the next one.

547
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:46,400
I'm gonna make it up in the next one. Mark, do you wanna start on that one? Oh, hi Mark.

548
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,520
Yeah, you can have a head start, Mark. Go for it.

549
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,520
I'll be over there in a minute. You just give me,

550
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:56,640
well maybe a slightly more than a minute. Oh man, so Jordan,

551
00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:01,240
did I really start at the half hour mark on this one? You started at the half hour mark.

552
00:40:01,240 --> 00:40:04,960
Okay, if I can finish this one in 35 minutes,

553
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:09,640
uh-huh, right, then if I can finish the next one in 25 minutes,

554
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,680
I'll be caught up after just two PCs.

555
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,840
And then, if I could finish the next one in 23 minutes,

556
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,840
I'll be two minutes ahead, which would be incredible.

557
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:24,960
And if I could finish the next one in 19 minutes,

558
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:28,600
then I would be slightly more ahead.

559
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:35,360
You're one minute behind already. Jordan, Jordan, Jordan, Jordan, look, look Jordan.

560
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,280
Sir? Sir? Sir, this is a Wendy's.

561
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:45,880
Not even supposed to be built in PCs. Yeah, but PC wasn't built in a day, okay?

562
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:50,160
Supposed to be built in junior freaking cheeseburgers. We're not sponsored by Wendy's.

563
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,920
Don't get late to them. What, oh, is it?

564
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,160
JBC's is the acronym, in case you're wondering, that's what you're trying to think about, right?

565
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,880
No, that's not what I'm trying to think about at all. I'm actually really scared right now.

566
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,560
Because I feel like you and I may have mixed up a bunch of our stuff.

567
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:09,600
No. And because these are systems that are going to actual people

568
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:13,000
who are gonna actually use them at some point actually, you know?

569
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:18,400
Wait, I didn't think about that, but I've done a good job. They might need to have all of their accessories

570
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:24,080
included with them and what not. You know, we didn't cross pollinate our deals here.

571
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:27,480
Are you sure? Yeah, what do you mean? How is that possible?

572
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:31,880
I mean, you took some of my thermal paste, so whoever gets the cooler is gonna, you know,

573
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,960
get a little cheated there. Can't believe.

574
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,760
We have a team for that, it's okay. No, no, we got this, we got this.

575
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:42,600
I've got this, you know what? I've got this totally under control

576
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,600
and I am no longer stressed at all because of math.

577
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:50,040
I did the math earlier and if I can build each computer

578
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:55,000
two minutes faster than the last one, I'll be ahead by the time we're done.

579
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:59,880
That's why I'm not stressed. Oh my goodness, this case just tripped me out.

580
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:03,320
I went to lift it up and there was no,

581
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:07,100
there was no anything there. It's starting.

582
00:42:07,100 --> 00:42:11,660
That's much better. My hallucination is starting. Oh no. You're an AI Linus.

583
00:42:11,660 --> 00:42:14,860
This isn't real. If I was an AI, I would probably,

584
00:42:17,060 --> 00:42:22,860
probably be building this faster right now. Okay, I think I'm in pretty good shape here right now.

585
00:42:22,860 --> 00:42:28,300
I'm most of the, suddenly it looks like a computer. I couldn't help wondering what these fans are for.

586
00:42:28,300 --> 00:42:30,820
Just in case. Just in case.

587
00:42:31,780 --> 00:42:35,580
Three lights over. Now they're just in the case. This guy's a father.

588
00:42:40,660 --> 00:42:41,780
That's content.

589
00:42:44,020 --> 00:42:48,660
Puns like those? That's content. Okay, Jorah, hey Jordan, which GPU is me?

590
00:42:48,660 --> 00:42:52,300
Whichever you like. Whichever I like. Those are both from Java.

591
00:42:52,300 --> 00:42:55,540
I can have whatever I like. Please, please.

592
00:42:55,540 --> 00:42:59,620
I'm gonna take the one with the bigger cooler. Let's go. Like it a little faster.

593
00:42:59,620 --> 00:43:03,740
What, what a little faster? Like it a little faster. Hey, thanks for stressing about

594
00:43:03,780 --> 00:43:07,780
getting the builds built on time, but he's also stopping to dance and do a little dance.

595
00:43:07,780 --> 00:43:11,940
Yeah, you're four minutes over now. And I'm more done than Riley.

596
00:43:11,940 --> 00:43:17,620
So, you know what, I- And also four minutes behind the other next one, dude. Oh dude, this guy, this guy's a Mac guy.

597
00:43:17,620 --> 00:43:20,940
You think I'm not gonna catch up to Mark in like the first two minutes?

598
00:43:20,940 --> 00:43:24,140
Look at him. He's got a manual out for how to install a CPU.

599
00:43:27,580 --> 00:43:30,340
Not with you, it's not. Don't. Wow.

600
00:43:32,340 --> 00:43:35,220
If you're slower than Linus, you don't get to have any cake. Okay, so.

601
00:43:36,380 --> 00:43:40,100
I'm off now, right? All right, yeah, I think you're off.

602
00:43:41,860 --> 00:43:45,100
No, no, I'm still gonna finish mine regardless, Mark. What?

603
00:43:45,100 --> 00:43:50,060
Yeah, you're good, Riley. Huh? You're good. So our skilled team of procurement professionals

604
00:43:50,060 --> 00:43:53,260
are going to be finishing up any PCs that don't get finished.

605
00:43:53,260 --> 00:43:58,100
You're gonna, or is it Reese? Reese, are you? Okay, mix of logistics and procurement.

606
00:43:58,100 --> 00:44:02,300
You know, the people who do the real work who are skilled regardless.

607
00:44:02,300 --> 00:44:05,300
Who aren't just pretty faces. They're also pretty faces.

608
00:44:05,300 --> 00:44:08,700
Everyone's a pretty face. Okay, I'm just gonna leave this.

609
00:44:08,700 --> 00:44:14,140
Yeah, perfect. I'm not gonna do any more damage. I mean, you can pretty much ship it like this.

610
00:44:15,340 --> 00:44:18,700
It's a concept PC. Riley.

611
00:44:18,700 --> 00:44:23,140
You could totally take this to Computex and just be like, oh, we have a bold new vision.

612
00:44:23,140 --> 00:44:26,200
It transforms into a caterpillar.

613
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:30,580
You can kind of see where you were going with it. I think that's really good.

614
00:44:30,580 --> 00:44:34,060
Great work, Riley. Wow, that makes me feel so great.

615
00:44:34,060 --> 00:44:37,820
Don't patronize him like that. I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna put a side panel

616
00:44:37,820 --> 00:44:43,500
on this bad boy. And I'm gonna figure out how it's oriented.

617
00:44:43,500 --> 00:44:48,700
And then, do I have to post them? Is that when the stopwatch stops?

618
00:44:48,700 --> 00:44:52,580
Okay. Well, the stopwatch never stops. So, you know, never, buddy.

619
00:44:52,580 --> 00:44:54,660
See you later, Riley. Thanks for dropping in.

620
00:44:55,780 --> 00:45:01,180
Happy birthday, me. It's a weird thing to bring up when someone's leaving.

621
00:45:01,220 --> 00:45:05,140
Happy 32 years. Dan, stall them.

622
00:45:05,140 --> 00:45:08,860
Hit me with a merch message. Yeah, sure, sure, sure, sure.

623
00:45:08,860 --> 00:45:12,620
Hi, Linus. What do you think is the next big tech change you're excited for?

624
00:45:12,620 --> 00:45:16,540
I'm hoping for a drastic leap in battery tech sometime soon.

625
00:45:17,500 --> 00:45:21,500
Man, doesn't battery technology feel almost like

626
00:45:21,500 --> 00:45:26,060
carbon nanotubes at this point? I wish Riley was here so we could talk about

627
00:45:26,060 --> 00:45:29,300
carbon nanotubes. You know where it's... Yeah, tubes, what?

628
00:45:29,300 --> 00:45:33,620
Hey, he's back. What? I'm sure Mark knows about carbon nanotubes.

629
00:45:33,620 --> 00:45:37,420
Nanomachines. Yeah, it feels like carbon nanotubes, you know,

630
00:45:37,420 --> 00:45:40,740
where every other week, we're hearing about some huge advancement

631
00:45:40,740 --> 00:45:44,060
that's going to absolutely revolutionize the entire world.

632
00:45:44,060 --> 00:45:48,500
And week after week, it just stays mostly relevant

633
00:45:48,500 --> 00:45:53,500
to the lab and not really applicable to the real world.

634
00:45:54,620 --> 00:45:59,740
To be clear, I'm really excited about, you know, solid state batteries and some of the headlines

635
00:45:59,780 --> 00:46:03,220
are extremely promising. Like you got companies that claim

636
00:46:03,220 --> 00:46:07,540
they're literally putting them in cart right now and the range is awesome and it's incredible.

637
00:46:09,300 --> 00:46:13,900
I just want to touch it, you know, I want to see it.

638
00:46:13,900 --> 00:46:17,020
I do think that better battery technology

639
00:46:17,020 --> 00:46:21,380
will change everything. Like, oh man, this is something that drove me crazy

640
00:46:21,380 --> 00:46:26,540
when I had this realization. I pulled my old iPhone 6 out of my nightstand drawer

641
00:46:26,540 --> 00:46:31,980
because I wanted an iPhone with a headphone jack. I wanted to like listen to headphones on my iPhone

642
00:46:31,980 --> 00:46:35,460
and I couldn't find my USB-C adapter.

643
00:46:36,460 --> 00:46:40,060
Don't ask why, it doesn't matter. The point is I pulled it out and I was like, wow,

644
00:46:40,060 --> 00:46:43,580
this is really thin. Like that's really cool.

645
00:46:43,580 --> 00:46:49,700
Man, they've gotten chunky. You know, if Apple could put that same capacity battery

646
00:46:49,700 --> 00:46:53,140
in a slim form factor again, you know they would because they're Apple

647
00:46:53,140 --> 00:46:57,060
and it's kind of what they do. Hey, were we expecting there to be an HDMI cable

648
00:46:57,940 --> 00:47:03,380
on this monitor by any chance? I suspect this is posted and I'm gonna call this one done.

649
00:47:03,380 --> 00:47:07,940
Yeah, I think you're good. I'm calling that time. So you're seven and a half over.

650
00:47:07,940 --> 00:47:11,020
Okay, you know what? Not bad.

651
00:47:11,020 --> 00:47:15,940
I am about to just absolutely clown on this noob.

652
00:47:15,940 --> 00:47:19,260
Wait, where's my PC? Dear, where the heck is my stuff?

653
00:47:19,260 --> 00:47:22,860
Oh, it's way up there. Mark, you're taking up the whole,

654
00:47:22,860 --> 00:47:26,380
you're taking up the whole table here, brother. What's the, what?

655
00:47:28,780 --> 00:47:31,500
Hey, look, look, I got AI RAM.

656
00:47:33,180 --> 00:47:37,900
That's probably A1, AMD system one, I assume, right?

657
00:47:37,900 --> 00:47:42,060
Not AI. I'm gonna go with that it's AMD system one.

658
00:47:42,060 --> 00:47:45,260
Okay, Jordan. Yeah, buddy. What am I supposed to be doing?

659
00:47:45,260 --> 00:47:48,740
This is, we're on year two now. For those of you joining us a little bit late,

660
00:47:48,740 --> 00:47:51,860
this is our double sweet 16 stream.

661
00:47:51,860 --> 00:47:56,420
We're on year three, we missed year two. You were kind of slow, so I skipped it.

662
00:47:56,420 --> 00:47:59,420
What? No, we have to do year two. All right, year two.

663
00:47:59,420 --> 00:48:02,420
Okay, year two. Well, hold on, I gotta update the people. I gotta update the people.

664
00:48:02,420 --> 00:48:06,020
I gotta get, I gotta get Mark's tower out of my way.

665
00:48:06,020 --> 00:48:09,620
Apparently I'm supposed to, supposed to do everything around here.

666
00:48:09,620 --> 00:48:14,420
I'm supposed to compete with like a tiny sliver of table over here.

667
00:48:14,420 --> 00:48:20,820
So we're doing a double sweet 16 stream where we're celebrating 16 years as a channel

668
00:48:20,820 --> 00:48:28,340
and also 16 million subscribers by building 16 PCs in the most chaotic way possible

669
00:48:28,340 --> 00:48:34,020
for charity. Where is my motherboard? How did it, how did my motherboard end up?

670
00:48:34,020 --> 00:48:39,860
I have no idea how that. Were you stashing my stuff to slow me down?

671
00:48:39,860 --> 00:48:42,940
No, it was in my way. Did you guys see him?

672
00:48:42,940 --> 00:48:46,260
Where's, where's Chad? Chad's gonna, Chad's gonna out you.

673
00:48:46,260 --> 00:48:50,500
Did he do that? He didn't see it.

674
00:48:50,500 --> 00:48:54,980
He was cleverly off camera. Why you yum yum?

675
00:48:54,980 --> 00:48:58,700
I saw nothing. I saw nothing.

676
00:48:58,700 --> 00:49:02,900
Nothing happened. Stop gaslighting your employee.

677
00:49:02,900 --> 00:49:06,340
That's right. There you go. I don't believe. Gaslighting isn't real.

678
00:49:06,340 --> 00:49:10,660
I did nothing wrong. I don't believe you. I don't believe you.

679
00:49:10,660 --> 00:49:15,780
And I especially don't believe any of you. I am quite certain that I would have,

680
00:49:15,780 --> 00:49:20,540
I would have realized if my computer was supposed to be like that.

681
00:49:20,540 --> 00:49:24,060
Okay. Okay, you're two. Let's do this thing.

682
00:49:24,060 --> 00:49:28,740
All right, you're two. So November 2009, 2010.

683
00:49:28,740 --> 00:49:35,860
You were a wee baby. And this video got 110,000 views that year.

684
00:49:35,860 --> 00:49:37,460
110,000 views.

685
00:49:40,300 --> 00:49:43,900
2000, 2009, 2010? Yeah.

686
00:49:43,900 --> 00:49:47,620
So mostly 2010, cause it's November to November. What?

687
00:49:47,620 --> 00:49:51,300
So you guys don't understand the, you guys don't understand the pressure I'm under

688
00:49:51,300 --> 00:49:57,540
trying to answer these questions, because we unbox random stuff back then.

689
00:49:58,860 --> 00:50:03,860
Like I would, I would unbox a portable hard drive, you know?

690
00:50:03,860 --> 00:50:08,860
I would unbox a coupon code for a game

691
00:50:09,180 --> 00:50:16,420
that was coming with like a, like a bundle, you know, when you buy a GPU or CPU motherboard bundle or something.

692
00:50:16,420 --> 00:50:23,900
Right? Like I, I have no idea which video is performed well.

693
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:28,660
I know which ones have performed well in the longterm. I might be able to take some stabs at that,

694
00:50:28,660 --> 00:50:32,540
but he wants me to tell you which ones performed well out of the gate.

695
00:50:35,180 --> 00:50:38,940
Let's just say, I'm gonna go, Oh, no, no, no, I don't want any hints.

696
00:50:38,940 --> 00:50:42,280
I don't want any hints. I don't need them. I don't, I don't need the hints. All right.

697
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:45,540
You're trying to buy more time. That's all. I am not trying to buy anything.

698
00:50:45,540 --> 00:50:49,300
I'm trying to sell these amazing PCs that we're building

699
00:50:49,300 --> 00:50:52,300
at java.gg. Okay.

700
00:50:52,300 --> 00:50:56,440
And all the profits are going to charity. That's what I'm trying to do today.

701
00:50:56,440 --> 00:51:00,220
And how dare you? How dare you?

702
00:51:00,220 --> 00:51:03,500
How dare you question my motives today?

703
00:51:03,500 --> 00:51:06,900
Mr. Jordan Block. Yeah.

704
00:51:06,900 --> 00:51:10,020
To say, to say to me

705
00:51:11,780 --> 00:51:15,220
that I might be stalling for time. Never.

706
00:51:15,220 --> 00:51:16,280
Why I find it,

707
00:51:18,780 --> 00:51:19,780
I find it to be,

708
00:51:22,500 --> 00:51:25,100
I find it to be unconscionable

709
00:51:25,980 --> 00:51:29,300
to say that I might be stalling for time.

710
00:51:29,300 --> 00:51:31,540
You mark, you want to hit him for me? Unconscionable.

711
00:51:33,100 --> 00:51:37,700
Are you, are you taking my stuff again? You know that I've already installed that CPU, right?

712
00:51:37,700 --> 00:51:41,980
You have effectively hidden nothing. You have achieved exactly nothing.

713
00:51:41,980 --> 00:51:46,000
And also I saw you do it. I saw you do it this time.

714
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:49,400
You will have absolutely no one on your side now.

715
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:52,520
I'm going to go check. I'm going to check right now while I unbox this fan

716
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,840
because I can multi-tap. Did you just take all of his RAM? You guys all saw that.

717
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,680
I saw nothing. I saw nothing.

718
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:04,440
No. No. You saw, you saw everything.

719
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:10,080
He actually did it. He actually, he put the RAM a different place, what?

720
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,280
No, it's in his computer. Where'd he put the RAM?

721
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:17,360
Mark. Mark, you only get one kit of RAM.

722
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:20,920
There's four RAM slots? Yeah, there's four RAM slots, but this is AMD.

723
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:23,480
So two of the RAM slots are mostly decorative.

724
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:29,680
If you want to run them at, if you want to run them at an optimal speed,

725
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,440
you don't use them. At least my CPU isn't decorative.

726
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:36,560
My CPU is not decorative. My CPU is right here.

727
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:38,080
Oh, I was making an Intel joke.

728
00:52:40,240 --> 00:52:43,960
So how about that year two video? Dang, dang.

729
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,600
Now hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

730
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:56,840
We don't need light because Mark casts all the shade all by himself.

731
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:02,440
Also, I think I've created a serious problem for myself.

732
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,800
Oh no, it turned back on on its own. Oh great. The power button's up there,

733
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:11,560
which if you guys have followed any of Dbrand's marketing, you'll know that I'm four foot one and can't reach it.

734
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:17,200
Room. Okay, secure.

735
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:20,560
What does it, what does it say on there, Andy? Oh, that's right.

736
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:23,200
That one's, I am very short.com. Yeah, I remember now.

737
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:27,560
Oh boy. Okay.

738
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:31,120
Well, I am in a flow now. And what you guys may have noticed

739
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:37,640
is that even though I'm still behind Mark, I have 15 minutes to complete this PC,

740
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:41,600
which I have made excellent progress on. And this time around,

741
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:45,360
I have pulled out all the things that I need ahead of time. Whoopsie doodles.

742
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:48,960
Oh. Like wires and thermal paste and IO shields

743
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:52,240
and all that stuff. I bet he doesn't even have his IO shield.

744
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:56,360
Look at him. He does.

745
00:53:56,360 --> 00:54:01,720
Now, Mark, you were gonna build a NAS a little while ago. What is the last, what is the last PC that you built?

746
00:54:01,720 --> 00:54:05,800
The last PC that I built? Yeah, did you end up building that NAS? Oh yeah.

747
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:09,920
Yeah. What kind of machine did you go for? Andy.

748
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:13,760
Oh, okay. It's a B550.

749
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:16,080
It was quite a while ago.

750
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:21,600
And it works. No one saw that, right?

751
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:26,560
The plastic bottom on the bottom micro.

752
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:30,680
Who needs it? I can't verify it for you. No, no, you don't need to see.

753
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:34,240
You don't need to see any of that. Now, what do you use your NAS for?

754
00:54:34,240 --> 00:54:37,840
Are you still super into like VHS captures? Is that like a side hustle still?

755
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:42,320
Yeah, I learned all about the Doomsday project.

756
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:45,480
The Doomsday people did it. Oh, okay.

757
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,560
You're gonna have to tell me about it because I have to confess

758
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:51,640
that while I find the topic interesting,

759
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:58,160
I haven't dedicated nearly the amount of time that you have to like old analog video captures.

760
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:06,080
So tell me about the Doomsday project. So, well, so I got my whole analog capture set up,

761
00:55:06,240 --> 00:55:12,440
posted it on X, and they told me,

762
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:16,760
or somebody DM'd me and was like, hey, there's this better thing

763
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:24,320
that like can capture your footage at like the original tape quality.

764
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:28,080
Yeah, but like way better in terms of like,

765
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:31,640
instead of going through your RCA output.

766
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:35,200
Oh, okay. Oh, like you can pull the internal tape quality

767
00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:39,360
kind of like with like consoles where you can like pull the original quality

768
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:44,000
right off the chip instead of taking it to like the RCA output on the console or whatever.

769
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:48,240
Like there's an internal spot. There's like an RF test point that you can tap into

770
00:55:48,240 --> 00:55:53,240
and get more detail, which is amazing.

771
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:57,360
I'm not good with soldering, so Dan, Mr. Dan, help me out with that.

772
00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:00,560
Yeah, that was a lot of fun. Yeah. It was pretty interesting.

773
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:03,560
I have never seen, you know, like the snow on the VHS.

774
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:07,080
Oh, yeah. I've never seen it perfectly pixel perfect.

775
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:10,560
Like all of the squares, like you can see the brushes going over the,

776
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:14,760
well, the heads going over the tape. Cause it's all magnetic. Incredible.

777
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:18,440
Yeah. I was, I was floored. Okay, that's pretty cool.

778
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:21,560
Is this a new thing? Yeah. Like 2018.

779
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:27,920
Really? And it was used originally for a laser disc. And the cool thing is because it's all magnets.

780
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:31,960
Yeah. It's all magnetic. You can basically do it with anything

781
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:39,480
that has an RF test point. So even if they don't haven't decoded the actual signal,

782
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:45,640
it exists. So this is the end game. Once you capture it like this,

783
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:49,000
there is absolutely no point in continuing

784
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:52,040
to hold onto your original media in hopes that a better capture method

785
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:55,160
could come along or anything like that. Basically, but I've heard that this is the end game

786
00:56:55,160 --> 00:57:00,120
multiple times in my life. So, we'll see.

787
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:03,560
Right. I'm very impressed with it though.

788
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:07,720
That's pretty cool. Yeah. And so is that something that people like come to you for

789
00:57:07,720 --> 00:57:11,160
often or is it mostly a hobby or like?

790
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:14,560
Oh, right now it's mostly a hobby.

791
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:20,480
But we'll see, we'll see. Maybe I can make a little side hustle out of it.

792
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:24,600
I mean, we did that video a little while ago. If you guys remember, we did that video

793
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:32,440
on capturing one of my old VHS tapes. And Mark was brought in as sort of an outside,

794
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:40,040
well, an inside consultant, because the truth is he's probably forgotten

795
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:45,760
more about analog capture than I ever knew. Like I always found it interesting.

796
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:49,160
Like my first real GPU was actually one of those

797
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:52,360
all-in-wonder ones that had the TV tuner on it

798
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:58,000
because I loved the idea of being able to get video into the PC.

799
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:01,400
Like if you can take video out of the PC,

800
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:04,640
surely you should be able to get video into the PC,

801
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:10,480
but as it turns out, video capture and encoding is half black magic.

802
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:16,040
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

803
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:18,920
Half black magic and half science.

804
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:25,840
It's all science, I know. I know, but black magic. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

805
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:29,920
Black magic design. Yeah. Yeah. You know, a company that makes capture.

806
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:34,000
I'm more of an AJA guy myself. Which is fair, which is fair and valid.

807
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:37,080
I'm just, that's just not a joke. It's not funny.

808
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:40,520
Yeah, no, I know. I mean, mine wasn't funny either, wasn't it?

809
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:47,280
How many minutes? 11. 11 minutes? No problem, no problem, brother,

810
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:50,760
because I couldn't help noticing a little thing.

811
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:55,940
I couldn't help noticing a little thing here. Remember, remember how I told Mark, I was like,

812
00:58:56,940 --> 00:59:00,340
he probably doesn't even have his I.O. shield.

813
00:59:00,340 --> 00:59:05,580
Remember how I said that? Guess what, he doesn't have it in his computer right now.

814
00:59:08,860 --> 00:59:12,620
That's two for two. Who needs an I.O. shield?

815
00:59:12,620 --> 00:59:13,460
Look at that.

816
00:59:15,660 --> 00:59:18,660
No, we need it. Nice, you do. What do you need it for?

817
00:59:18,660 --> 00:59:22,980
What does it do? He absolutely pulled it out and showed it to me.

818
00:59:22,980 --> 00:59:27,300
I then forgot to put it in. It's the most common, it's the most common

819
00:59:27,300 --> 00:59:32,420
Mac guy PC building error. Wow, wow, wow.

820
00:59:32,420 --> 00:59:35,580
I've seen lots these days that have it just built in. Yeah, yep.

821
00:59:35,580 --> 00:59:38,660
Also, I still don't know what it's for.

822
00:59:38,660 --> 00:59:43,620
Grounding. Dust, grounding? I actually think it's more to do with RF, Dan.

823
00:59:43,620 --> 00:59:48,660
Oh, that would make sense, yeah. I think it's to make the entire chassis enclosed

824
00:59:48,660 --> 00:59:52,980
and safe or whatever. So, the reality of it is it doesn't,

825
00:59:52,980 --> 00:59:56,540
you're not still putting in screws. What screwdriver are you using?

826
00:59:56,540 --> 00:59:58,180
What is going on over here?

827
01:00:00,220 --> 01:00:04,380
You can, I can't. What? Are you taking it out of the motherboard

828
01:00:04,380 --> 01:00:07,540
or are you leaving it in? Oh, my goodness. What's happening?

829
01:00:07,540 --> 01:00:10,420
It's a screwdriver. How many have we done?

830
01:00:11,740 --> 01:00:16,180
We've got some great Black Friday deals running on LTT Store, so if you wanted to leave

831
01:00:16,180 --> 01:00:21,100
a merch message, now's as good a time as any. We've got free shipping around the world.

832
01:00:21,100 --> 01:00:26,260
I think it's on orders over $300, is that right, Dan? I've got so many merch messages, I have no idea, probably.

833
01:00:26,260 --> 01:00:30,940
Okay, cool. Go to LTT Store and buy stuff, it's fine. I have to put this in beforehand?

834
01:00:30,940 --> 01:00:33,940
Oh, yeah, buddy. Oh, man. Oh, yeah, buddy.

835
01:00:33,940 --> 01:00:38,940
So, I have in, what am I at, like 12 minutes here,

836
01:00:39,540 --> 01:00:42,820
closed the gap and pulled into the lead.

837
01:00:42,820 --> 01:00:48,820
Not that it's a competition, not that it's a competition. Cause like I said, it was never gonna be a competition.

838
01:00:48,820 --> 01:00:54,380
Wow. It was never gonna be a competition. Well, it's not really trash talk when it's like over.

839
01:00:54,380 --> 01:00:57,780
You know, I didn't have a screwdriver. I mean.

840
01:00:57,780 --> 01:01:01,540
For the first little bit. I mean, that sounds like a skill issue to me.

841
01:01:01,540 --> 01:01:05,540
It's yeah, it's not like you work at a place where. Yeah, this is a pretty good screwdriver.

842
01:01:05,540 --> 01:01:07,460
Screwdrivers run like milk and honey.

843
01:01:09,500 --> 01:01:14,180
I'm a video editor. We don't edit videos with screwdrivers.

844
01:01:14,180 --> 01:01:18,260
I mean, if you did, I'd be pretty impressed. Whoa.

845
01:01:18,260 --> 01:01:21,580
That would make for a fun short. Yeah. I should pitch that to Artie.

846
01:01:21,580 --> 01:01:23,540
Like, okay, here, Artie, hear me out.

847
01:01:24,980 --> 01:01:29,940
For a spot for LTT Store, we have one of the video editors edit with a screwdriver.

848
01:01:29,940 --> 01:01:34,900
LTT like Edward Scissor's hands, but we just like zap strap a bunch of screwdrivers

849
01:01:34,900 --> 01:01:38,940
to all their fingers. I'm into it. Screwdriver hands.

850
01:01:40,500 --> 01:01:43,820
Shoot. I actually missed something on my last machine.

851
01:01:43,820 --> 01:01:49,860
I didn't plug in this front USB two header. I didn't see it. So I'll penalize myself.

852
01:01:49,860 --> 01:01:56,500
I'll give myself a small 30 second penalty. So, Jordan, you're keeping track of my times, right?

853
01:01:56,500 --> 01:02:02,380
Sure. Where the devil is my front audio connector on this case?

854
01:02:02,380 --> 01:02:05,700
Are these all the same case? Yep. Okay.

855
01:02:05,700 --> 01:02:11,580
So all the first eight are. So whoever's job it was to arrange this, hold on.

856
01:02:11,580 --> 01:02:14,780
Linus. This is my front panel audio. Yes, sir.

857
01:02:14,780 --> 01:02:18,140
Does this go in here? Yeah. Or does it go in here? Yeah, yeah, it goes in here.

858
01:02:18,140 --> 01:02:23,060
It goes in here. It's funny how many things I kind of take for granted

859
01:02:23,060 --> 01:02:26,140
as an old school builder that people

860
01:02:26,140 --> 01:02:29,820
who didn't really build back in the day. Yeah, I built back in the day.

861
01:02:29,820 --> 01:02:35,380
Won't know. Or may have forgotten. I rebuilt my G5 Power Mac.

862
01:02:35,380 --> 01:02:39,660
Okay. That doesn't count. Yeah, that doesn't really count. Oh, here it is.

863
01:02:39,660 --> 01:02:42,900
I don't know. Okay. Why don't we show it to a couple more donors for us?

864
01:02:42,900 --> 01:02:49,260
Yeah, let's show to one of our donors. Okay, so a massive shout out to Noctua

865
01:02:49,260 --> 01:02:54,260
who contributed 16 of their, these are NHD 15s, hey?

866
01:02:54,260 --> 01:02:59,700
Yeah. Yeah, 16 of their NHD 15 Chromax black coolers.

867
01:02:59,700 --> 01:03:03,540
You can check these out here. These are a great cooler for cooling.

868
01:03:03,540 --> 01:03:07,100
Well, basically anything.

869
01:03:07,100 --> 01:03:10,140
And that means that when we are donating

870
01:03:10,140 --> 01:03:15,540
the profits of these machines, which we are selling at jawa.gg,

871
01:03:15,540 --> 01:03:20,900
when we're donating the profits, the entire value of those coolers gets to be donated

872
01:03:20,900 --> 01:03:25,260
rather than contributing to our costs. So thank you very much Noctua.

873
01:03:25,260 --> 01:03:29,500
We were actually blown away by the generosity of our partners

874
01:03:29,500 --> 01:03:35,180
when we told them what we were doing. We ended up, man, I think we ended up getting

875
01:03:35,180 --> 01:03:39,620
almost everything comped by someone. They were all extremely excited

876
01:03:39,620 --> 01:03:43,300
to help contribute to this. And it's just, it's heartwarming,

877
01:03:43,300 --> 01:03:46,500
especially this time of year. So massive shout out to Noctua.

878
01:03:46,500 --> 01:03:50,260
And then I think I've got another one. I also want to shout out Gskill

879
01:03:50,260 --> 01:03:53,500
who sent over eight of their Flarex 5 memory kits.

880
01:03:53,500 --> 01:03:56,620
These are a perfect pairing for our AMD systems.

881
01:03:56,620 --> 01:04:01,620
They are DDR5 6000 and the exact CL rating.

882
01:04:02,340 --> 01:04:06,500
I'm going to guess 30 because Gskill, Gskill ain't no fool.

883
01:04:06,500 --> 01:04:11,280
Yeah, there you go. So they're DDR5 6000 CL 30, 32 gig kits.

884
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:16,120
They sent over eight of these to make sure that our systems would have enough memory

885
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:19,480
and enough high speed memory that you're going to be playing the latest games.

886
01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:23,720
Let's go. What else we got here? That's your five minute warning.

887
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:27,840
Five minute warning, huh. I don't even need five more minutes to finish this PC.

888
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:31,840
You wouldn't even believe how fast I'm going to finish this one. Yeah, let's take bets on that.

889
01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:35,200
It's going to be so fast. It's going to be so fast. Look at this.

890
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:39,600
I'm plugging in my front panel headers and everything. Dan, just to show how confident I am.

891
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:44,600
Yeah. Hit me with a merge message. Oh, yeah, sure. I'm going to build the rest of this PC in five minutes

892
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:48,800
while also replying to merge messages. Wow. Easy.

893
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:52,520
Hey, DLL, it's just DL and M now.

894
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:57,400
What is the worst computer parts company? My personal pick has to be HP.

895
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:03,320
Oh, see, I could get behind the HP pick

896
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:08,080
if we consider a printer, a computer parts,

897
01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:12,680
because I am not a fan of some of the incredibly

898
01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:17,000
anti-consumer things that they pull with respect to their printers.

899
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:22,000
However, if I have to narrow it down to computer parts,

900
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:28,800
HP does have that case. But I wouldn't really classify them

901
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:34,320
as a computer parts company. I would say they're more of a finished goods company.

902
01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:37,160
So if I've got to pick a computer parts company,

903
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:42,640
am I allowed to pick ones that don't exist anymore? Is that an option?

904
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:46,720
Because some of them don't exist for good reason.

905
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:47,560
OCC.

906
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:56,160
Dan, you spoiled the answer. Sorry, I actually have a personal vendetta about them.

907
01:05:56,160 --> 01:06:03,000
I guess that's unrelated. You and everyone has a personal vendetta against OCC.

908
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:06,120
OCC was the one that I was gonna pick.

909
01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:11,120
Sorry. To give you some idea of how shady this company was,

910
01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:16,120
they marketed a product that used what they called

911
01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:19,720
UTT dies.

912
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:25,000
And these UTT memory dies,

913
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:28,160
the way that OCC marketed them

914
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:32,920
was that compared to the really desirable dies at the time,

915
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:38,400
so things like in the lower capacity DDR days, like WinBond BH5, or later on,

916
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:42,040
you had Samsung TCCDs, for instance,

917
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:45,400
the way that they marketed these UTT dies

918
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:49,020
was that, man, they were flipping fast.

919
01:06:49,020 --> 01:06:52,840
All you had to do was pump enormous amounts

920
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:57,560
of voltage through them and you could get them to go wicked fast.

921
01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:05,360
And don't worry, we got your back, if anything goes wrong, we'll get you a new one.

922
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:11,240
So UTT was code for untested.

923
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:15,720
So basically, instead of actually binning them

924
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:19,440
and making sure that they could run at the speed that they were selling them at,

925
01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:23,840
they just marketed as a bullet point,

926
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:27,680
like on the product page, that these were untested dies

927
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:33,360
and you could just juice the snot out of them and they would cover it under warranty

928
01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:35,760
and that was their product.

929
01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:41,240
And you know what? Oh, yeah, sorry, what's that? I have a fun story about OCC.

930
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:45,440
Do you? Yeah, I bought one of their- Does it involve an agility SSD?

931
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:49,240
Yeah, I bought one because you recommended me one

932
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:54,080
on NCIX Tech Tips years ago. Okay, so in fairness to me,

933
01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:58,360
agility SSDs were a crazy good value

934
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:02,920
and I have a theory that they were using

935
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:06,480
similarly unvalidated NAND flash,

936
01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:12,440
but that was not something that was, I don't know if that was ever actually confirmed,

937
01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:16,960
but it sort of came out later that that may have been the case.

938
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:23,320
So I did not know. Did your agility SSD live by any chance?

939
01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:28,760
No, not for very long. Not for very long. No. The funny thing about that is that some of them did great.

940
01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:33,760
I mean, that's the thing about random untested hardware.

941
01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:37,320
Hey, speaking of that, OCC doesn't exist anymore,

942
01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:42,960
but there's some very OCC-like practices that are going on in the DRAM industry right now,

943
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:49,040
particularly DDR4. So there's two competing low-cost approaches

944
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:52,200
to DDR4 memory, which is still relevant

945
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:55,640
because you still got AM4 out there using DDR4.

946
01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:59,400
You still got LGA1700, older Gen Intel CPUs

947
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:06,280
that are using DDR4. And also some of the non-Western CPU platforms

948
01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:15,280
are using DDR4 as well. And there's this competition

949
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:18,480
between the folks that are taking harvested dies

950
01:09:18,480 --> 01:09:21,840
off of old memory modules

951
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:27,360
and remanufacturing them into new modules. So these would be like South Korean dies

952
01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:32,360
and the Chinese fabs that are building brand new DDR4

953
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:36,280
at super, super cut-rate prices.

954
01:09:37,240 --> 01:09:40,280
I wasn't going anywhere with this. I just thought it was really interesting.

955
01:09:40,280 --> 01:09:46,280
Also, it's time for me to install my GPU. I've got an XFX Speedster 7800XT.

956
01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:50,720
So this is the same class of GPU that we put in those last two systems over there.

957
01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:55,400
And basically it's gonna mean that you're gonna be getting a fantastic

958
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:58,680
1440P gaming experience out of this thing.

959
01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:04,000
And in slightly older titles, you could even drive these systems at 4K.

960
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:07,960
So these are really nice little systems, 7800X3D.

961
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:11,920
This was sent over by Jawa, by the way, who is our sponsor for the stream

962
01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:17,680
and who is the one who is handling selling all of these machines for charity for us.

963
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:20,880
I'm just gonna go ahead. Yeah, but remember last time,

964
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:25,280
I was like eight minutes over time and I am just about done.

965
01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:28,560
I already got my GPU in. Whoa, when did he get all?

966
01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:31,680
When did he get all caught up? He's got a different panel. That's pretty impressive.

967
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:35,360
Yeah, but he doesn't have his eight pin power connector. It's a Wi-Fi. Well, you know.

968
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:39,120
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is the IO shield in properly? It's in. Wow.

969
01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:42,920
Really? I even got the little Wi-Fi antenna's in.

970
01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:46,600
It's amazing what having an actual screwdriver will do for you. There's no kidding.

971
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:50,240
Do you have your Wi-Fi antenna's in? My Wi-Fi antenna's in. I don't need those.

972
01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:53,440
I use wired Ethernet like a child. You know what? Got them.

973
01:10:53,440 --> 01:10:57,760
Roasted. Well, you don't have a power supply though.

974
01:10:57,760 --> 01:11:00,360
Do you not have a power supply? Mark?

975
01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:05,440
Well placed hand. Yeah, the head is very clutched there. Shut up.

976
01:11:05,440 --> 01:11:06,520
What's in the box?

977
01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:13,160
This is even with him trying to sabotage me. Look, the cables were inside the case.

978
01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:19,120
I didn't know those. Unlike Mark, my completed PC here is actually completed.

979
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:24,080
Okay, we're gonna do a quick post test. Do I have an HDMI cable yet?

980
01:11:25,440 --> 01:11:29,880
To demonstrate my confidence that I have made up ground here,

981
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:33,360
I'm gonna go ahead and put my side panel on,

982
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:39,320
which I know is bad jubies, but I am extremely confident.

983
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:42,680
There you go. What a gorgeous little machine.

984
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:47,640
HDMI? Oh, you go Jordan. Oh, wait. Okay, yeah.

985
01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:51,840
So do I have a power cable here? Did we think of that?

986
01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:55,640
Yep, it's here. Oh, okay, so not here. It's over there.

987
01:11:55,640 --> 01:12:00,760
That's fine. That's fine. That's close enough. Mark, you put all your stuff.

988
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:04,240
Is the plan to put these on? Yeah. Oh, cool.

989
01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:07,880
Do I get to pick where it goes? Yeah. Ooh.

990
01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:14,440
Okay. Or maybe that's your prize that you get when I'm done on time. All right, I'm putting this, excuse me.

991
01:12:14,440 --> 01:12:18,320
No, I'm putting it on. Dan, do you want to hit me with a merge message?

992
01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:19,160
Yeah, sure.

993
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:28,160
There's a peel. Yeah, yeah, no, I know the peels there. I'm just, I'm eyeballing it, I'm eyeballing it.

994
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:31,720
Plastic on plastic. I'm thinking right here. All right, here. Okay, hit me, Dan.

995
01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:37,360
Hello, wanted to ask what would be the one tip tip that seems obvious, but surprises you the most

996
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:39,760
with how many times it slides under the radar?

997
01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:46,960
You know what? I think the one for me has to be buying secondhand gear.

998
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:55,640
Even though we talk about it all the time, even though it's like, it's something everyone's

999
01:12:55,640 --> 01:12:59,600
probably heard at some point, it amazes me

1000
01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:04,600
how often I see people buy something brand new

1001
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:09,600
for reasons that, just for reasons that I cannot,

1002
01:13:12,440 --> 01:13:18,800
that I cannot understand. There are times when buying brand new makes a ton of sense,

1003
01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:22,760
but I would say that for most people,

1004
01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:28,040
unless your budget is quite high, there are at least some parts that you should

1005
01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:31,720
at least explore, getting something secondhand.

1006
01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:36,440
It does take more work. And maybe part of it is just me being in my,

1007
01:13:36,440 --> 01:13:39,760
my hobbyist mindset and being like, well, what?

1008
01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:44,440
What? Like, deal hunting isn't like the best part

1009
01:13:44,440 --> 01:13:48,560
of building a new PC. You just want to go to a store

1010
01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:52,080
and walk away with everything you need. What?

1011
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:55,760
That's crazy, right? I do think part of it is just me being sort of

1012
01:13:55,760 --> 01:14:02,760
out of touch in that sense, but it is probably the one that surprises me the most.

1013
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:07,440
How few people are open to picking up a used something.

1014
01:14:07,440 --> 01:14:13,880
And for reasons that just don't seem rational to me sometimes, we did that recent video on picking up home theater

1015
01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:17,480
equipment secondhand versus buying a brand new sound bar.

1016
01:14:17,480 --> 01:14:22,520
And I saw this, I saw this one comment. It was like, I don't want like some like herpes,

1017
01:14:22,520 --> 01:14:26,440
AV receiver and speaker coming into my house. It's probably dirty.

1018
01:14:26,440 --> 01:14:28,760
And I'm just like, bro,

1019
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:33,200
you ain't got any like lights all wipes left over

1020
01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:36,720
from the pandemic. You can't, you got, you got no disinfectant.

1021
01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:42,440
That's, it's fine. Chill brother. It's okay. So I think that's my, I think that's my big one.

1022
01:14:42,440 --> 01:14:49,120
All right. Here we go. Oh, we got any, you got any lights?

1023
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:53,640
Hey, there we go. Let's go. Also for bonus points,

1024
01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:56,840
I'm removing the peels from these. There we go.

1025
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:02,040
You're five and a half behind. Oh man. You're doing okay.

1026
01:15:02,040 --> 01:15:05,080
I'm doing great. Better than okay.

1027
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:08,520
No, no, okay. And this thing's going to post. You just watch.

1028
01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:11,960
She's got all her power things plugged in.

1029
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:15,480
Everything's going to be great. I'm so confident. Dan, go ahead and hit me with a merge pass.

1030
01:15:15,480 --> 01:15:18,920
Hey, let's go. All right. I'm onto my next system. See you later, Mark.

1031
01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:22,360
Thanks for tuning in to the sweet 16 stream. Thanks for playing. Good effort.

1032
01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:26,280
You're pretty good at building computers. Well, thank you. I mean, has anyone ever told you?

1033
01:15:26,280 --> 01:15:28,680
The thing today is I'm going to build them until I get good at it.

1034
01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:32,680
He's getting better. I'm getting better. I'm improving. All right.

1035
01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:36,720
So this time I've got 24 minutes and speaking of no competition.

1036
01:15:36,720 --> 01:15:40,440
What do you mean? I am up against the one.

1037
01:15:40,440 --> 01:15:44,560
You just dropped my stuff. Why are you even using that stuff?

1038
01:15:44,560 --> 01:15:47,840
Uh-oh. Wait, Dennis, what are you doing?

1039
01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:53,520
I'm taking the plate off. You're currently unbuilding it.

1040
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:58,000
How could I possibly lose against this guy? Oh wait, you don't even have a mic yet.

1041
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:01,120
What is happening here? Is it your screws? They're all over the...

1042
01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:04,360
I'm looking at the instruction. They're all over the floor.

1043
01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:08,120
My goodness. Well, I think I'm going to win.

1044
01:16:08,120 --> 01:16:11,280
Okay, so what was my mark? It's the competition. No one told me it's a competition.

1045
01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:14,640
Yeah, of course. Everything's a competition. I thought you were. How are we going to do it?

1046
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:18,800
So we should make a start. What more do you want? Life's a competition, Dennis. That's all we do here, Dennis.

1047
01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:22,560
No one told me it's a competition. Come on. Come on. Let's go.

1048
01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:26,840
Faster. Well, that's not a very competitive mindset. And I'm afraid you might not win then.

1049
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:31,680
What's the paste thing? You don't need to worry about paste yet.

1050
01:16:31,680 --> 01:16:35,000
You need to get that CPU in the socket first. All right, all right, all right.

1051
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:38,360
I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what. And stop. No, no.

1052
01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:42,120
Okay, oh my goodness. One sec, one sec, one sec. There is so much wrong here already.

1053
01:16:42,120 --> 01:16:46,040
Okay, so that's... No, stop. Just wait. Oh, okay.

1054
01:16:46,040 --> 01:16:48,400
Well, here's the thing.

1055
01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:52,240
Oh, sorry. There's a little prompt open on the thing. I need to...

1056
01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:59,160
There we go. Here's the thing. I can only guarantee that eight of the computers will work.

1057
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:03,640
The eight that I built. Jordan, what was my time? For the second one, by the way.

1058
01:17:05,440 --> 01:17:09,280
All right. How much over were you the first time?

1059
01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:12,280
I don't remember. I thought that that's why I have an official timekeeper,

1060
01:17:12,280 --> 01:17:16,040
Jordan. I don't want stuff going on over here. Okay, maybe someone in the chat.

1061
01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:20,120
Maybe someone in the chat can help you out. But I'm starting this one now. Yeah, you're eight minutes behind.

1062
01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:23,200
So I was at more like 23. More like 23.

1063
01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:28,640
Behind what? Because I'm not behind Dennis. I'll tell you that much. He has been unbuilding over here.

1064
01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:33,120
No, I'm not. He took off the CPU cooler mounting brackets.

1065
01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:36,720
And then I'm going to put it back on. Exactly. He's trying to make it fair.

1066
01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:40,160
That's what I'm saying, Dennis. I'm saying you were out building. And then you're like, no, I'm not.

1067
01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:42,360
And then you proceed to tell me the thing you unbuilt.

1068
01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:49,760
I haven't watched OTT video for a while. I don't know how to do it. You're not missing much.

1069
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:53,560
Jeez. I mean, in fairness, we don't really

1070
01:17:53,560 --> 01:17:57,960
build computers very often anymore. So. Exactly. Yeah, you're not really, yeah.

1071
01:17:57,960 --> 01:18:01,720
You're not really missing too many. You watch the build streams. We do a lot of these. Do we though?

1072
01:18:01,720 --> 01:18:07,760
I don't think we do that many of these. It just feels like we do a lot of them. Cause every time it's, it's quite the production.

1073
01:18:07,760 --> 01:18:13,200
I don't think we need this anymore. Yeah. Now I'm going to do the paste.

1074
01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:18,400
He's going to do the paste. Doesn't it come with paste? I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what, Dennis.

1075
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:21,960
You've done enough paste in your life. No, wait, no.

1076
01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:25,160
Tell you what, Dennis. Why don't you move your RAM first?

1077
01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:32,720
So you want that in the slots that. But how do I put it on after if that's,

1078
01:18:32,720 --> 01:18:38,080
it doesn't have to kind of be on my way, like in the way, right?

1079
01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:41,880
Well, no, it's more just that you have one of them in the wrong slot. Oh.

1080
01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:45,040
Yeah. So you wanted in the second one from the, well, okay, you took out both of them.

1081
01:18:45,040 --> 01:18:50,000
Okay. Well, only, only one of them was in the wrong slot. So you want it in this one right here.

1082
01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:56,240
Right there. Yep. There you go. And then you also wanted in the farthest one from the slot.

1083
01:18:56,240 --> 01:19:01,360
Why? Those two are the most electrically stable.

1084
01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:06,320
They have the best signal integrity on most motherhoods. So who put in the first and third?

1085
01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:10,840
The first and third? Yeah. Oh my goodness. Click these on.

1086
01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:15,960
Okay, I don't worry, I'll help you, Dennis. First and third would be if you're putting in four sticks

1087
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:19,160
and you don't mind if they run at a much lower speed. Did you, okay, hey.

1088
01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:22,120
How come they're not the same? Here, I bet you watched this video.

1089
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:27,360
Yeah, it's really complicated and it has to do with like,

1090
01:19:27,360 --> 01:19:32,240
like, like the signals effectively like, like bouncing back and causing some kind of interference

1091
01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:33,720
on it's, it's,

1092
01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:40,320
I can understand it if I'm like reading and I'm like, oh yeah, I get it.

1093
01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:46,280
But it's one of those things that I don't get well enough to remember it later and then explain it.

1094
01:19:46,280 --> 01:19:50,920
Well, okay, hey, I bet you watched that, that Taiwan computer video, right?

1095
01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:56,680
The one where I built the machine in the- Yes, I skipped, I skipped, I skipped the end.

1096
01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:04,240
Sorry. Well, at any rate. Wow.

1097
01:20:04,240 --> 01:20:08,440
Yeah, it is. There it is. You know, it's a really funny thing.

1098
01:20:08,440 --> 01:20:15,920
It's a really funny thing to see the speculation that takes place online sometimes about what an ogre I am

1099
01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:21,520
and how my staff is obviously afraid of me and stuff. They could use a little more fear.

1100
01:20:21,520 --> 01:20:24,840
This is what I think I'll say about this guy.

1101
01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:33,080
Anyway, in that video, one of the things that I critiqued about the build

1102
01:20:33,080 --> 01:20:38,080
was that the builder opted to use two lower capacity kits

1103
01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:44,280
instead of one higher capacity kit. And the reason that I criticized that was that

1104
01:20:44,320 --> 01:20:47,920
if you run two kits, they're stuck running at a lower speed.

1105
01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:55,920
They're not really listening. So instead of running at like 6,000 or 6,400

1106
01:20:55,920 --> 01:20:59,600
megatransmitters per second, it runs at like 5,200,

1107
01:21:00,800 --> 01:21:03,920
which doesn't make as big of a difference to performance as my thing. This is just old numbers.

1108
01:21:03,920 --> 01:21:07,440
Yeah, well, one number much bigger than the other number. Yes.

1109
01:21:07,440 --> 01:21:10,920
Yes. So it runs at lower number.

1110
01:21:10,920 --> 01:21:14,160
And slower RAM, right, could be bad, right?

1111
01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:16,720
Yeah. Probably. Maybe.

1112
01:21:17,800 --> 01:21:19,760
Might be fine, but could be bad.

1113
01:21:21,440 --> 01:21:25,240
Okay. Okay, Jordan. I'll finish that video. I'll finish that video.

1114
01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:31,040
Hit me with my guess. With your what? Hit me with my guess thing.

1115
01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:36,280
For those of you who are tuning in a little bit later, this is our double sweet 16 stream.

1116
01:21:36,280 --> 01:21:40,280
We're having a lot of fun today to celebrate 16 years of LTT

1117
01:21:40,280 --> 01:21:45,700
and 16 million subscribers. We're building 16 PCs for charity.

1118
01:21:45,700 --> 01:21:49,260
And when we build each pair of eight PCs,

1119
01:21:49,260 --> 01:21:54,860
Jordan is supposed to be giving me, oh wait, so you're supposed to do two years per PC.

1120
01:21:54,860 --> 01:21:58,620
Oh yeah, you're way behind. Oh, okay. Oh my gosh. Well, let's do a few then.

1121
01:21:58,620 --> 01:22:02,940
All right, let's follow through. I'm supposed, he's supposed to tell me, or he's supposed to have me guess. Are we up to number three now?

1122
01:22:02,940 --> 01:22:06,460
I want number two still, Dan. Yeah. The card thing?

1123
01:22:06,460 --> 01:22:10,460
Okay. Yes. Oh my gosh. So put the thumbnail up, don't listen to him.

1124
01:22:10,460 --> 01:22:14,260
Which video from that year? All right, that's our most viewed. Okay.

1125
01:22:14,260 --> 01:22:17,660
So 2009 to 2010, November to November.

1126
01:22:17,660 --> 01:22:21,420
Yep. Here's your thumbnail. Oh, I got a thumbnail now.

1127
01:22:21,420 --> 01:22:25,220
Okay. What's the thumbnail? Wait, we already did that one.

1128
01:22:25,220 --> 01:22:28,820
It looks very similar. You said that was number two.

1129
01:22:28,820 --> 01:22:32,780
Dennis. Yeah, number two. 2009? This one is labeled as number two.

1130
01:22:32,780 --> 01:22:37,220
Yeah, that's right. Oh, we're still doing it, okay. No, I did that one. No, no, you did number one.

1131
01:22:37,220 --> 01:22:40,820
I never finished it. No, no, they look very similar.

1132
01:22:40,820 --> 01:22:44,820
Really? Yes. Another XFX GPU? You are correct.

1133
01:22:44,820 --> 01:22:48,940
Oh. This was the HD 5770.

1134
01:22:48,940 --> 01:22:56,700
Really? Yeah, that was the most viewed in year two. Wow, XFX GPU were like bangers for me back in the day.

1135
01:22:56,700 --> 01:22:59,740
Apparently. I didn't remember that at all.

1136
01:22:59,740 --> 01:23:04,220
So year three is a little more interesting. Okay, all right. Hit me with the thumbnail for year three.

1137
01:23:04,220 --> 01:23:08,540
And yes, Dennis, that was a thumbnail back then, okay? Because I don't even...

1138
01:23:08,540 --> 01:23:11,900
Do you want to see a real thumbnail? I don't think the thumbnail was a stink back then, right?

1139
01:23:11,900 --> 01:23:15,020
Did YouTube support? That's a real thumbnail. It's custom thumbnails yet?

1140
01:23:15,020 --> 01:23:19,660
I think they might have. But it might have been a still frame. Was it a still frame from the video though?

1141
01:23:19,660 --> 01:23:25,380
Yeah. Oh, okay. So it's not entirely my fault that they looked the best.

1142
01:23:25,380 --> 01:23:29,180
Hang on Reese, can you look down so we can see the screen? So that one I remembered. No, I already saw it.

1143
01:23:29,180 --> 01:23:35,340
Okay, never mind, you're good, you're good. So that was a special edition EVGA GPU.

1144
01:23:35,340 --> 01:23:38,780
And I'm just gonna have to try to remember what it was.

1145
01:23:38,780 --> 01:23:42,380
I want to say, I want to say it was a...

1146
01:23:42,380 --> 01:23:47,140
Oh God, how did you take that? A 560 Ti.

1147
01:23:47,140 --> 01:23:50,140
You're pretty close. I want to say it was a 560 Ti

1148
01:23:50,140 --> 01:23:53,220
and it was a special Duke Nukem Forever edition card

1149
01:23:53,220 --> 01:23:59,260
because that was back before anyone knew what an absolute turd sandwich Duke Nukem Forever

1150
01:23:59,260 --> 01:24:04,180
was gonna be. Yeah. Was it a 560 Ti?

1151
01:24:04,180 --> 01:24:11,820
You're very close. Ah, darn it, what was it? GTX 580 and the Matrix 3D monitor and 3D vision.

1152
01:24:13,340 --> 01:24:17,060
You were doing a giveaway apparently back then. Oh, cool.

1153
01:24:17,060 --> 01:24:21,540
Dude, I wish that I had archived all the giveaway entries

1154
01:24:21,540 --> 01:24:25,260
for some of the contests that we did back in the day. Yeah.

1155
01:24:25,260 --> 01:24:29,700
Some of them were so funny. And the thing is, you treat YouTube

1156
01:24:29,700 --> 01:24:35,220
like it's gonna be there forever. It's not. Most of the really good ones are gone.

1157
01:24:35,220 --> 01:24:42,780
Even if I could find the old spreadsheet on my NCIX email or like Sheets account or whatever,

1158
01:24:42,820 --> 01:24:46,100
even if I could find it, most of them were pulled down over the years

1159
01:24:46,100 --> 01:24:50,140
and it's sad because some of them were so creative

1160
01:24:50,140 --> 01:24:55,100
and so funny. There was this really cute one where they did stop motion

1161
01:24:55,100 --> 01:25:01,940
and they were like a monster or something and there was this one with really, really bad acting

1162
01:25:02,340 --> 01:25:06,500
and like someone was attacking the city or something

1163
01:25:06,500 --> 01:25:10,060
and like, I don't know, it was really cool

1164
01:25:10,060 --> 01:25:15,340
and the community was smaller, was hyper-hyper-engaged at that time.

1165
01:25:15,340 --> 01:25:18,580
It was a lot of fun. It was a really fun time on YouTube.

1166
01:25:18,580 --> 01:25:21,900
All right, let's do one more here. Okay, okay, one more guessing game.

1167
01:25:21,900 --> 01:25:25,860
Oh, gosh. You wanna fire up number four there, Dan? Boop.

1168
01:25:25,860 --> 01:25:29,540
Okay, what year is this? This is 2011-2012. Oh, Peridae Ar Drone.

1169
01:25:29,540 --> 01:25:34,820
Yep. Peridae Ar Drone. So this one had 820,000 views in the first year.

1170
01:25:34,820 --> 01:25:39,700
This, I think, was the closest thing to like a viral hit

1171
01:25:39,700 --> 01:25:46,860
that I had had up until that time. I ended up doing multiple videos featuring the Ar Drone.

1172
01:25:47,060 --> 01:25:50,500
I did like a range test in the NCIX parking lots.

1173
01:25:50,500 --> 01:25:55,300
I did like a weird jousting thing where we got two of them and Luke and I

1174
01:25:55,300 --> 01:25:59,060
like tried to fly them at each other and have them hit in midair,

1175
01:25:59,060 --> 01:26:05,700
tried to milk the heck out of the Ar Drone but in the end, nothing ever really came close

1176
01:26:05,700 --> 01:26:10,180
to the success of that first video. Oh.

1177
01:26:10,180 --> 01:26:15,340
All right, time to get this thing in a case. Okay, that was like neat somehow.

1178
01:26:15,340 --> 01:26:19,700
What can I do for you, sir? How do you attach this thing? I don't have these wire clips.

1179
01:26:19,700 --> 01:26:23,060
You take that off here? No, you get more of them.

1180
01:26:23,060 --> 01:26:27,300
So you put them on just like this. Okay, and everyone does it a little different.

1181
01:26:27,300 --> 01:26:31,380
You know, some of them you hook it onto the inside one, some of them you hook it onto the far one, whatever.

1182
01:26:31,460 --> 01:26:35,460
So it's better to just find one that's already done and just do it exactly the way that they already did it.

1183
01:26:35,460 --> 01:26:38,860
That's the safest way. What do you think, Jordan?

1184
01:26:38,860 --> 01:26:43,180
Who's gonna be the first of my co-hosts to actually finish their PC?

1185
01:26:43,180 --> 01:26:46,220
Don't want to finish? It'll be the next one.

1186
01:26:46,220 --> 01:26:49,660
I finished. Not on time yet though. Who was it?

1187
01:26:49,660 --> 01:26:54,220
Who was it? Mark was the last person? Yeah, Mark and you've had, who was first?

1188
01:26:54,220 --> 01:26:57,500
Riley. Did he finish? Riley did not finish.

1189
01:26:58,740 --> 01:27:03,460
In fairness for them, half an hour later. He just needed to finish. He doesn't need to work, right?

1190
01:27:03,460 --> 01:27:07,420
I mean, mine have worked, but sure. Can you just work before we sell it?

1191
01:27:07,420 --> 01:27:10,700
People are actually buying these. We're selling this on Jawa.

1192
01:27:10,700 --> 01:27:15,620
Yeah. It might already be sold. Yeah, actually, yeah, can you tell?

1193
01:27:15,620 --> 01:27:19,500
Has anyone bought any of the system, Jordan? I'll see if I can find out.

1194
01:27:19,500 --> 01:27:25,300
I'm kind of curious now. Dan, do you want to hit me with a merge message? We've got a Black Friday sale running on LTTstore.com.

1195
01:27:25,300 --> 01:27:29,660
You guys can go check it out at LTTstore.com.

1196
01:27:29,660 --> 01:27:36,020
We'll have more about that later. Oh yeah, okay. Do they get cheaper if they buy the one I'm building now?

1197
01:27:36,020 --> 01:27:39,860
No. They don't discount. I'm not sure if they get to pick which one they get.

1198
01:27:39,860 --> 01:27:43,740
Oh, okay. They might just get it. And you might just have to kind of do your best with it.

1199
01:27:43,740 --> 01:27:48,260
The one that's broken is Janice's one. No. It should be pretty easy to tell.

1200
01:27:48,260 --> 01:27:51,740
It's not done yet. We've sold five of the AMD builds.

1201
01:27:51,740 --> 01:27:56,660
Wow. It's the one we're gonna pull out of. I'm afraid to ask how the Intel builds are doing.

1202
01:27:56,660 --> 01:28:01,660
Yeah. Okay, cool. One of those. Well, in fairness to the Intel builds,

1203
01:28:01,660 --> 01:28:06,660
we haven't actually built any of those on stream yet. So people have only seen the AMD builds.

1204
01:28:06,660 --> 01:28:09,300
Merch message? Yeah, hit me, Dan. Sure.

1205
01:28:11,140 --> 01:28:14,540
Hold on. Wait for Janice. Are you okay, bud?

1206
01:28:16,300 --> 01:28:19,420
Janice? Why did you put the cable on? I think you broke Janice.

1207
01:28:19,420 --> 01:28:22,620
Hold on, the cable's freezing down, right? Oh yeah.

1208
01:28:22,620 --> 01:28:25,820
Yeah, you want the cable on that fan facing towards the bottom.

1209
01:28:25,820 --> 01:28:28,500
Nice. It gives it a bit of a cleaner look. Yeah.

1210
01:28:29,500 --> 01:28:34,540
All right, hit me, Dan. Figure this is the best time to get an LTT screwdriver.

1211
01:28:34,540 --> 01:28:40,180
Do you feel like financing a PC is a good way to go? Or is it better to wait until you can afford to pay full price?

1212
01:28:40,180 --> 01:28:45,540
Man, I'm gonna call out so hard. One of my elementary school friends.

1213
01:28:45,540 --> 01:28:49,740
You guys remember, oh man, what were they called?

1214
01:28:49,740 --> 01:28:54,580
I was at MDG? The ones that had the computer for a dollar a day?

1215
01:28:54,580 --> 01:28:58,340
Yeah. Was that MDG? I think so. Or was it someone else?

1216
01:28:59,020 --> 01:29:04,020
I can't remember anymore, but he bought a Pentium 3 PC.

1217
01:29:04,620 --> 01:29:08,380
For himself, he bought it with his own money, sort of,

1218
01:29:08,380 --> 01:29:13,300
because like me, he was in grade six or seven or whatever.

1219
01:29:13,300 --> 01:29:16,420
And like me, he didn't have any money.

1220
01:29:16,420 --> 01:29:20,500
So what he actually did was he got his parents

1221
01:29:20,500 --> 01:29:24,900
to sign on for him to finance a computer.

1222
01:29:24,980 --> 01:29:29,340
And I will tell you the same thing that I told him back then.

1223
01:29:31,140 --> 01:29:34,180
That is like the dumbest shit ever.

1224
01:29:34,180 --> 01:29:38,220
Don't do that. They're still around offering those deals.

1225
01:29:38,220 --> 01:29:42,860
They're still doing it, wow. Okay, so the thing about technology

1226
01:29:42,860 --> 01:29:46,380
is that it depreciates so fast

1227
01:29:46,380 --> 01:29:50,180
that if there's an affordability issue,

1228
01:29:50,180 --> 01:29:53,700
you are far better off just waiting around

1229
01:29:53,700 --> 01:29:57,260
for the affordability to reach your savings

1230
01:29:57,260 --> 01:30:01,420
than you are financing something because the interest is a killer.

1231
01:30:01,420 --> 01:30:05,340
Now, I would say it's actually less true today

1232
01:30:05,340 --> 01:30:09,460
than it used to be. Electronics don't move nearly

1233
01:30:09,460 --> 01:30:14,900
as fast as they used to back then. Like by the time he finished paying for that P3,

1234
01:30:14,900 --> 01:30:17,140
he could have had a way faster P4

1235
01:30:18,100 --> 01:30:21,860
for all the money that he spent. Can I help you? Are you?

1236
01:30:22,620 --> 01:30:25,620
You're carrying screws. Oh, okay. Any hoop.

1237
01:30:26,860 --> 01:30:31,100
So I would say it's less true today now that the industry doesn't move quite as fast,

1238
01:30:31,100 --> 01:30:34,620
especially if you can get a reasonable financing rate

1239
01:30:34,620 --> 01:30:39,060
and if there's some reason for it. Like with the incoming tariffs,

1240
01:30:39,060 --> 01:30:44,740
we have a video coming soon that is sort of discussing is now like a time

1241
01:30:44,740 --> 01:30:50,180
to urgently buy a PC in hopes of getting a better deal before computer hardware gets slapped with tariffs

1242
01:30:50,180 --> 01:30:55,860
because it may very well be. But in general, in general, I am very opposed.

1243
01:30:56,700 --> 01:30:59,980
I'm very opposed to using financing to buy something

1244
01:30:59,980 --> 01:31:03,260
that depreciates so quickly.

1245
01:31:03,260 --> 01:31:06,940
Okay, there are other exceptions because you could look at a car

1246
01:31:06,940 --> 01:31:11,100
and you could kind of say the same thing. Like how could you possibly use financing to buy something

1247
01:31:11,100 --> 01:31:15,500
that depreciates so quickly? And I mean, well, for one thing, no, I don't.

1248
01:31:15,500 --> 01:31:19,180
I did not buy any of my early cars with financing.

1249
01:31:19,820 --> 01:31:23,620
I bought cheap crappy cars for as little money as possible.

1250
01:31:23,620 --> 01:31:28,540
So I'm not a huge fan of that, but there are reasons to buy something.

1251
01:31:28,540 --> 01:31:32,300
If the money you can make from having it

1252
01:31:32,300 --> 01:31:37,260
is greater than the cost of owning it, even with financing, then you can justify it that way.

1253
01:31:37,260 --> 01:31:41,260
So if you need a car to get to a better job that pays you more, then absolutely,

1254
01:31:41,260 --> 01:31:45,060
finance the car, right? Like I'm not gonna, no one's gonna give you

1255
01:31:45,060 --> 01:31:50,300
a hard time for that, I don't think. So in the same way, if you're using a PC to do work

1256
01:31:50,300 --> 01:31:55,380
and you need to finance it in order to more effectively do that work,

1257
01:31:55,380 --> 01:31:58,380
that's such a totally different conversation

1258
01:31:58,380 --> 01:32:01,380
than if you're like financing a gaming PC.

1259
01:32:01,380 --> 01:32:06,380
This day and age, you straight up, under no circumstances,

1260
01:32:07,300 --> 01:32:12,940
should you be financing a gaming PC because you can get a capable gaming PC

1261
01:32:12,940 --> 01:32:16,180
that'll tide you over for like nothing,

1262
01:32:16,180 --> 01:32:22,120
like next to nothing. You'll pay more in interest on that financed computer

1263
01:32:22,120 --> 01:32:27,700
than you would on this, on a PC that would absolutely be able to play games decently

1264
01:32:29,140 --> 01:32:32,800
while you wait to be able to afford something new and something nicer.

1265
01:32:33,860 --> 01:32:39,980
So I'm not a fan, but if you're making money with your computer and you need like new capabilities

1266
01:32:39,980 --> 01:32:43,980
that are simply not available on older hardware, and that's a totally different calculation

1267
01:32:43,980 --> 01:32:47,540
and I'm a lot more on board. Does that all kind of shine in sparkle?

1268
01:32:47,540 --> 01:32:52,060
What do you think, Dan? Have you covered that enough? Yeah, I would say so. You have a long answer.

1269
01:32:52,060 --> 01:32:55,620
I think it's the correct answer. Dan, I literally talked for a little. Question, question.

1270
01:32:55,620 --> 01:32:59,300
Did I say Dan, Dennis? Yeah, I'm Dan. Is this the wrong one?

1271
01:32:59,300 --> 01:33:03,500
It's so short. I can't screw this one in. I have that problem too.

1272
01:33:04,660 --> 01:33:07,940
You haven't put your iOS shield on. We are three for three. Oh my God, he did?

1273
01:33:08,940 --> 01:33:10,380
Three for three, how?

1274
01:33:13,340 --> 01:33:14,180
Oh my God.

1275
01:33:16,700 --> 01:33:20,140
So I only have to buy this half B.O.P.C. and bill themself.

1276
01:33:21,020 --> 01:33:23,740
No, Dennis, you have to take the motherboard out again.

1277
01:33:24,820 --> 01:33:27,820
Dennis, you have to take it all apart. Yeah, also why are you here?

1278
01:33:27,820 --> 01:33:32,940
I thought you had to put the motherboard laying down. Why does everybody keep taking the whole table?

1279
01:33:32,940 --> 01:33:36,020
You missed me. I have no room to work.

1280
01:33:36,020 --> 01:33:39,460
I thought you were supposed to put the PC down to put the motherboard, no?

1281
01:33:39,460 --> 01:33:45,940
Well you can, but do it over there. I must take, everyone takes up the whole flippin' table.

1282
01:33:45,940 --> 01:33:50,180
Like I have my stuff down here on the floor

1283
01:33:50,180 --> 01:33:57,260
because I have no room to work. Dennis, you have literally like 85% of this table

1284
01:33:57,380 --> 01:34:02,180
dedicated to your stuff and overflowing onto the floor.

1285
01:34:02,180 --> 01:34:06,420
Look at this, Andy. He's also taking up space on the floor.

1286
01:34:06,420 --> 01:34:11,780
That's ridiculous. Okay, Dan, do you wanna hit me with a merge message?

1287
01:34:11,780 --> 01:34:16,260
I suspect things are poppin' pretty hard on the store right now. I wasn't expecting you to be so busy.

1288
01:34:16,260 --> 01:34:18,460
Yeah, we've already done 200.

1289
01:34:19,540 --> 01:34:23,620
I'm not exaggerating. Let's see, what do we have that's fun here?

1290
01:34:23,620 --> 01:34:25,260
When are we getting LTT sandals?

1291
01:34:27,060 --> 01:34:31,780
I'm sure we get this a lot. He only curated that to bother me.

1292
01:34:31,780 --> 01:34:35,500
I know he knows better. Is that a contentious issue? I actually don't.

1293
01:34:35,500 --> 01:34:40,180
Oh, you didn't know. Okay, so I would love to do an LTT sandal.

1294
01:34:40,180 --> 01:34:43,820
But the challenge is that in order to do a sandal,

1295
01:34:43,820 --> 01:34:47,540
you're not just doing one mold. You have to do a left foot mold.

1296
01:34:47,540 --> 01:34:52,660
You have to do a right foot mold. These are probably relatively complex molds, right?

1297
01:34:52,660 --> 01:34:58,380
These are, I mean, if you're gonna have a couple different colors on the sole,

1298
01:34:58,380 --> 01:35:03,260
then you're gonna have at least a couple stages. So they're reasonably complex molds.

1299
01:35:03,540 --> 01:35:09,940
I don't understand. Also, you're gonna need, let's see,

1300
01:35:09,940 --> 01:35:15,460
I don't know, what does it work out to? How many sizes would you typically expect

1301
01:35:15,460 --> 01:35:20,260
to find in a range of sandals? Like eight to 12 and all the half?

1302
01:35:20,260 --> 01:35:23,660
At least, at least eight sizes.

1303
01:35:23,660 --> 01:35:27,120
So now I'm on the hook for 16 molds, minimum.

1304
01:35:28,340 --> 01:35:32,180
Good number. Then what else do I have to deal with?

1305
01:35:32,180 --> 01:35:36,300
Oh yeah, minimum order quantities. In order to make that mold cost to make any sense,

1306
01:35:36,300 --> 01:35:40,240
I'm stocking thousands and thousands and thousands

1307
01:35:40,240 --> 01:35:41,460
of these sandals.

1308
01:35:43,940 --> 01:35:47,740
Man, that even assumes that like, we don't know anything about making shoes.

1309
01:35:47,740 --> 01:35:51,020
So could we even, would it even be comfortable? Would it even be any good?

1310
01:35:51,020 --> 01:35:54,740
It's just, it's a huge gamble. It's a huge bet.

1311
01:35:55,780 --> 01:35:59,980
And for what? I don't, you know, I think it's funny.

1312
01:35:59,980 --> 01:36:04,100
You know, I would be the first person to be like,

1313
01:36:05,300 --> 01:36:08,340
you know, yeah, let's make a mean product, I love it.

1314
01:36:08,340 --> 01:36:14,540
Like that's why we did the strawberry underwear, for example, we did a strawberry colorway of our underwear.

1315
01:36:14,540 --> 01:36:21,820
I love that stuff. But this is like, huh, this is like a six figure joke

1316
01:36:21,980 --> 01:36:25,780
at this point. You know, you start making sandals because like,

1317
01:36:25,780 --> 01:36:31,140
her and her Linus love socks and sandals, right? That's not, that's not responsible,

1318
01:36:31,140 --> 01:36:33,340
that's not responsible businessmanship.

1319
01:36:35,860 --> 01:36:38,900
Whoever prepped this machine,

1320
01:36:41,780 --> 01:36:45,820
may have overlooked something.

1321
01:36:45,820 --> 01:36:50,580
I will figure it out though. Basically all of my eight pin connectors

1322
01:36:50,580 --> 01:36:55,420
on my power supply are taken up and they shouldn't be.

1323
01:36:55,420 --> 01:36:58,620
So that's fine. Lee, you're so fast.

1324
01:36:58,620 --> 01:37:04,060
It's getting faster. You sound like my wife. One is going to the fan distribution.

1325
01:37:04,060 --> 01:37:07,380
Yeah, but it's, I can use a six pin for that.

1326
01:37:07,380 --> 01:37:11,340
I think, unless those six pins are not, well,

1327
01:37:12,540 --> 01:37:16,340
what? Good to tell you. So the other builds that I've seen so far

1328
01:37:16,340 --> 01:37:19,940
didn't have both eight pin power cables going up to the CPU.

1329
01:37:19,940 --> 01:37:23,940
And I think that may be why I have an extra here.

1330
01:37:23,940 --> 01:37:29,780
Oh, okay. Yeah. I don't think we have enough to do both.

1331
01:37:29,780 --> 01:37:34,260
Yep, that's the problem. So I need to salvage one of those back

1332
01:37:34,260 --> 01:37:35,900
and use it for,

1333
01:37:38,260 --> 01:37:41,420
We're at two minutes by the way. I just need to salvage one of those back

1334
01:37:41,420 --> 01:37:45,220
and use it for nothing. I'm just out of connectors on the power supply.

1335
01:37:45,220 --> 01:37:49,820
Oh, two minutes. I got two minutes to finish. Hey, did we get the final times for the first two?

1336
01:37:49,820 --> 01:37:52,740
What am I up against here? I have no idea.

1337
01:37:53,660 --> 01:37:57,300
How many does Linus have to do? He has to do eight himself.

1338
01:37:57,300 --> 01:38:00,660
Okay. We've got two hours left. I can build eight. There's got another four.

1339
01:38:00,660 --> 01:38:04,300
Is this computer three or four? This is number three. Okay. This has got five to go.

1340
01:38:04,300 --> 01:38:07,300
Dude, what a problem. You're doing okay.

1341
01:38:07,300 --> 01:38:13,360
This is not a problem. Easy. I mean, it definitely isn't helping

1342
01:38:13,360 --> 01:38:17,220
when I have to unbuild things, but I got this. So Jordan, what are my times?

1343
01:38:17,220 --> 01:38:21,140
What are my times? Has anyone tabulated them? I have no idea. I'm not on the internet Linus.

1344
01:38:21,140 --> 01:38:24,900
I can't do anything on the internet. I'm not on the internet. We should have internet. You might want to adjust.

1345
01:38:24,900 --> 01:38:28,020
It's not working for me. It's still not working. We'll figure it out.

1346
01:38:28,020 --> 01:38:31,540
Don't worry. Apparently I've got, I opened my phone

1347
01:38:31,540 --> 01:38:35,180
and I have a thousand angry messages from Sean and Jake

1348
01:38:35,180 --> 01:38:38,220
because somebody told me to plug something in. And then I did that

1349
01:38:38,220 --> 01:38:42,820
and I was absolutely not supposed to do that. Nice. Oh, this is not easy.

1350
01:38:42,820 --> 01:38:46,300
Nice. Sorry, everyone at the company. Well, don't worry.

1351
01:38:46,300 --> 01:38:51,500
We got this. We've been having some internet problems today. So it's been an exciting day

1352
01:38:51,540 --> 01:38:56,420
because I can tell you as a web video production company,

1353
01:38:56,420 --> 01:39:00,840
internet, pretty important to our daily operations.

1354
01:39:00,840 --> 01:39:05,220
Yep. Cool. So Jordan is sitting over there with no internet.

1355
01:39:05,220 --> 01:39:09,740
So what are you even, what are you even doing Jordan? I have my offline copies of all my information

1356
01:39:09,740 --> 01:39:12,740
for the stream. Why do you still not have internet? Is that my fault?

1357
01:39:12,740 --> 01:39:16,660
I don't know. I think it's probably my fault. Oh, it's a pie.

1358
01:39:16,660 --> 01:39:20,540
What? I'll blame Dan. You see why we like Dennis?

1359
01:39:20,540 --> 01:39:24,180
What he lacks is knowledge and skill. He makes up for an enthusiasm.

1360
01:39:24,180 --> 01:39:29,180
Like, look how hard he's trying. I'm trying to pretend I know what I'm doing.

1361
01:39:29,180 --> 01:39:33,940
Do you guys actually know what Dennis does here now? Like Dennis started as a video editor

1362
01:39:33,940 --> 01:39:37,500
and now he actually like, I think you still open up a timeline once in a while

1363
01:39:37,500 --> 01:39:42,460
for your site, right? Yes, I do, yeah. But he actually works for the business team now

1364
01:39:42,460 --> 01:39:46,340
on sponsor spots. So he does like creatives,

1365
01:39:46,340 --> 01:39:50,300
what do we call them? CSP, creative sponsor.

1366
01:39:51,140 --> 01:39:56,180
Creative sponsor productions. So the idea is to make our sponsor spots

1367
01:39:56,180 --> 01:40:00,140
so watchable. Yeah, so entertaining and engaging

1368
01:40:00,140 --> 01:40:03,540
that people will actually go out of their way to watch them or at the very least,

1369
01:40:03,540 --> 01:40:06,540
abandon the video a lot less during them.

1370
01:40:06,540 --> 01:40:10,020
And it's been successful so far, right? Like you've been in this role for over a year.

1371
01:40:10,020 --> 01:40:13,300
On a win show, I mean every week on a win show

1372
01:40:13,300 --> 01:40:18,220
that's the regular stuff. And on LTT videos,

1373
01:40:18,220 --> 01:40:21,940
he used to be on TechLink and now mostly just on LTT stuff.

1374
01:40:21,940 --> 01:40:25,860
Got it. Some of them are pretty funny.

1375
01:40:25,860 --> 01:40:30,380
There's a Vessi spot. Is that Vessi spot with the like stolen sandals?

1376
01:40:30,380 --> 01:40:35,060
Is that up already? Yeah, that one's up in end of September.

1377
01:40:35,060 --> 01:40:37,420
That one performed very well. All right, cool.

1378
01:40:39,980 --> 01:40:44,860
All right, Jordan, are we all caught up on those guest the video things?

1379
01:40:44,860 --> 01:40:47,860
Oh, we're two years behind. Okay, hit me with another then.

1380
01:40:47,860 --> 01:40:50,860
Number six? Yeah. Yeah.

1381
01:40:50,860 --> 01:40:53,900
Do we show the- Or no, number five actually.

1382
01:40:53,900 --> 01:40:57,260
Don't show this one. Don't show it? No.

1383
01:40:57,260 --> 01:41:01,780
Okay, what year was it then? This was 2012, 2013.

1384
01:41:01,780 --> 01:41:04,860
And you'll be shocked to learn it was an unboxing.

1385
01:41:04,860 --> 01:41:08,020
Oh, so hot. 2012, 2013.

1386
01:41:08,020 --> 01:41:11,820
Well, that's gotta be the fire truck. Yeah. Let's see.

1387
01:41:11,820 --> 01:41:17,140
Okay, how many views did that get in the first year? That was, I think that was over a million.

1388
01:41:17,500 --> 01:41:21,460
Wow. So I can tell the story behind that. 1.1 million.

1389
01:41:21,460 --> 01:41:26,460
One of our other product managers, one of our junior product managers

1390
01:41:26,460 --> 01:41:30,820
was handling Arctic cooling, right? You know, like freezer series coolers,

1391
01:41:30,820 --> 01:41:35,300
like that silencer series coolers they had, I think back for GPUs back in the day.

1392
01:41:35,300 --> 01:41:39,340
So they were handling Arctic cooling. What do we got here? Is this another 7800 XT?

1393
01:41:40,700 --> 01:41:45,860
Sure is. All right, sick, let's put this bad boy in. Java sent over six of those guys.

1394
01:41:45,860 --> 01:41:49,020
So Arctic cooling decided that, well, hey,

1395
01:41:49,020 --> 01:41:53,380
like, I mean, if we can source like coolers from China

1396
01:41:53,380 --> 01:41:56,860
or wherever and we can throw our brand on those

1397
01:41:56,860 --> 01:42:02,780
and sell them or, you know, whatever. Like if we can handle the logistics of sourcing

1398
01:42:02,780 --> 01:42:06,140
and merchandising and marketing and selling, you know,

1399
01:42:06,140 --> 01:42:11,140
coolers, then why not remote control vehicles?

1400
01:42:12,140 --> 01:42:16,900
And they, so they released a tugboat,

1401
01:42:16,900 --> 01:42:23,620
a tank and a fire truck. And as a favor, the junior product manager was like,

1402
01:42:23,620 --> 01:42:28,620
hey, look, I brought in a bunch of these stupid things.

1403
01:42:29,060 --> 01:42:33,740
They're not selling. Can you help me deal with this?

1404
01:42:33,740 --> 01:42:37,420
Can you make a video? Can you like help me get rid of these stupid things?

1405
01:42:37,420 --> 01:42:41,820
And as it turned out, so I, so I said, okay.

1406
01:42:41,820 --> 01:42:47,740
And as it turned out, they were actually pretty cool. And even though the fire truck is the most famous one,

1407
01:42:47,740 --> 01:42:52,740
the tank and the boat actually both got a fair number of views.

1408
01:42:53,140 --> 01:42:59,180
So that ended up being a, that ended up working out for everyone. I think we ultimately did manage to sell through them all,

1409
01:42:59,180 --> 01:43:02,260
although it did take a while,

1410
01:43:02,260 --> 01:43:06,940
just cause like, I don't know what it is. Even if you have a good price and okay product or whatever,

1411
01:43:06,940 --> 01:43:10,260
if it's not what people go to your shop for, sometimes it can be hard to sell things.

1412
01:43:10,260 --> 01:43:14,540
Like I remember NCIX brought in like Zojirushi rice cookers.

1413
01:43:14,540 --> 01:43:17,980
And every time I talk about Zojirushi, people who know are like,

1414
01:43:17,980 --> 01:43:21,660
oh yeah, those are like the best rice cookers, but we couldn't sell them to save our lives.

1415
01:43:21,660 --> 01:43:27,740
It was crazy. So we had a heck of a time selling those remote control vehicles,

1416
01:43:27,740 --> 01:43:31,660
but we tried, we did our, we did our darnedest. Are you done? I don't know.

1417
01:43:31,660 --> 01:43:35,700
We're going to find out when I try and post this thing. So what was my time for that one?

1418
01:43:35,700 --> 01:43:38,180
What was my time for that one? Am I making up time here?

1419
01:43:40,020 --> 01:43:45,420
Am I making up ground? You're like an entire computer behind. Is this supposed to be a price if we someone beat you?

1420
01:43:45,420 --> 01:43:49,020
I mean, sure, I'd be down to, I'd be down to do a price. Too late, Ty.

1421
01:43:49,020 --> 01:43:50,420
One and a second from Dennis.

1422
01:43:52,260 --> 01:43:54,940
Too late. You're the one. Okay, here we go.

1423
01:43:55,780 --> 01:43:59,460
Yeah. Wait, you're going to form a head start?

1424
01:43:59,460 --> 01:44:02,860
No, he's above the previous PC still. Yeah, no, I'm... So you have a head start right now

1425
01:44:02,860 --> 01:44:05,700
if you quiet down and start building. Yeah, okay.

1426
01:44:06,540 --> 01:44:10,460
Okay. We'll get you a mic in a sec. Yeah.

1427
01:44:10,460 --> 01:44:13,780
All right. My fans are spinning.

1428
01:44:13,780 --> 01:44:17,260
My RGB is lit. Let's go.

1429
01:44:17,260 --> 01:44:22,100
What are the odds? I have to try turning my on. Dennis, there's no point trying to turn yours on

1430
01:44:22,100 --> 01:44:26,100
and nothing's plugged in. You got, you got nothing plugged in, brother, but...

1431
01:44:27,180 --> 01:44:30,540
Oh, that's not good. That's not an ideal noise.

1432
01:44:31,420 --> 01:44:35,100
Oh! That was not good.

1433
01:44:35,140 --> 01:44:36,820
That was actually kind of bad.

1434
01:44:38,660 --> 01:44:42,060
I just mangled this cable.

1435
01:44:42,060 --> 01:44:45,260
You're posted. Oh, but the system works?

1436
01:44:45,260 --> 01:44:47,940
Yeah. Yay! Nice.

1437
01:44:51,140 --> 01:44:54,460
Wow, that... Well, it's a good thing it's a...

1438
01:44:54,460 --> 01:44:57,460
Well, it's a good thing it's a Snapdragon PC

1439
01:44:57,460 --> 01:44:59,460
and I don't need to charge it very often.

1440
01:45:01,660 --> 01:45:04,740
All right, hey, computer's fixed. Okay.

1441
01:45:05,500 --> 01:45:08,500
I am gonna move on. Which side am I on?

1442
01:45:08,500 --> 01:45:12,140
Am I this side? Am I just like... Yeah, you're done. You're done.

1443
01:45:12,140 --> 01:45:15,900
You're done. Thank you. Whoever's buying this...

1444
01:45:15,900 --> 01:45:19,100
Thanks for coming out. You can't even learn how to build a PC at home.

1445
01:45:22,100 --> 01:45:22,940
Yeah.

1446
01:45:25,740 --> 01:45:26,820
All right.

1447
01:45:30,220 --> 01:45:37,500
For those of you just tuning in now, we are doing our sweet, double sweet 16 stream.

1448
01:45:37,940 --> 01:45:41,060
We're celebrating 16 years of LCT.

1449
01:45:41,060 --> 01:45:44,100
We're celebrating 16 million subscribers

1450
01:45:44,100 --> 01:45:47,420
and we're bringing in, well, eight.

1451
01:45:47,420 --> 01:45:50,820
Eight members of our team to co-build PCs with me

1452
01:45:50,820 --> 01:45:55,460
that we are going to be selling for charity on java.gg.

1453
01:45:56,900 --> 01:46:01,580
There's a java read off the prompter there. Oh, can I shout out one of the parts providers first?

1454
01:46:01,580 --> 01:46:05,680
Sure. Is that the next one? We have the right ones there.

1455
01:46:05,680 --> 01:46:12,320
Okay, so I wanted to shout out MSI, who sent over eight motherboards and eight SSDs.

1456
01:46:12,320 --> 01:46:15,920
They sent over all of the B650 gaming plus Wi-Fi boards

1457
01:46:15,920 --> 01:46:19,760
that we're using for our AMD builds. Thank you very much MSI.

1458
01:46:19,760 --> 01:46:24,640
Thanks to them. All of the cost of those boards will go directly to our charitable cause,

1459
01:46:24,640 --> 01:46:29,400
which I think from our conversations so far is probably gonna be a local food bank.

1460
01:46:29,400 --> 01:46:32,680
It just seems like the right time of year to be... Oh, that sounds lovely.

1461
01:46:32,680 --> 01:46:38,280
Yeah, contributing to the food bank. And so that means $1,600 times 16 PCs.

1462
01:46:38,280 --> 01:46:43,160
We're gonna be pitching over 20 grand toward the local food bank, which is pretty exciting.

1463
01:46:43,160 --> 01:46:48,360
Assuming all of you find folks by these computers. Hey, there's a 50% chance you'll get one that was built

1464
01:46:48,360 --> 01:46:52,880
by me rather than one that was built by Lake Denison Mark. Yeah, I don't know if I would want those ones.

1465
01:46:52,880 --> 01:46:57,000
So far, those have not been going great, but...

1466
01:46:57,000 --> 01:47:00,800
Well, this is just gonna be boring then. How can I make this terrible?

1467
01:47:00,800 --> 01:47:05,280
No, no, don't... Where's the shock collar? Don't say, don't talk about those.

1468
01:47:05,280 --> 01:47:08,840
We don't need the shock collar. What about two?

1469
01:47:08,840 --> 01:47:14,280
I mean, need is one thing. Want, well, that's a different word.

1470
01:47:14,280 --> 01:47:18,680
Anyway, I also wanted to shout out Corsair, who sent over eight cases.

1471
01:47:18,680 --> 01:47:22,680
So all of the AMD PC cases were provided by Corsair.

1472
01:47:22,680 --> 01:47:26,320
We ended up paying for almost nothing out of this stuff,

1473
01:47:26,320 --> 01:47:30,360
which is super cool. Yeah, and our sponsor Jawah sent over all the GPUs.

1474
01:47:30,400 --> 01:47:33,600
So that's why those are mismatched, because Jawah's a...

1475
01:47:33,600 --> 01:47:37,160
Right, they're used. They're a marketplace. Oh, cool. Yeah, very cool.

1476
01:47:37,160 --> 01:47:42,880
Very cool. Actually, in this case, on your last builds here, these two GPUs are from Colorful.

1477
01:47:42,880 --> 01:47:47,640
Jordan, that's no longer on. So if I was supposed to do a Jawah read-off,

1478
01:47:47,640 --> 01:47:50,800
then it... You are indeed. Let's make that go on.

1479
01:47:50,800 --> 01:47:53,800
It ain't happening, sir. Wait, we're supposed to be racing, right?

1480
01:47:53,800 --> 01:47:57,120
I mean, yeah, we can race. I mean, are we at the same point?

1481
01:47:57,120 --> 01:48:01,040
Like, kind of... Oh, there's already an SSD in there. This is so cheaty.

1482
01:48:01,040 --> 01:48:04,840
Yeah. I think it was already done for me. Look, it's not meant to be, like,

1483
01:48:04,840 --> 01:48:09,320
the hardest possible PC build. It's just meant to be, like,

1484
01:48:09,320 --> 01:48:12,960
a friendly PC building challenge. It's like friendly, but, like,

1485
01:48:12,960 --> 01:48:16,360
I want to destroy you kind of thing, right? What?

1486
01:48:16,360 --> 01:48:19,800
Why you gotta be like that, Jake? Well, I'm not even trying that hard.

1487
01:48:19,800 --> 01:48:23,480
You're just going so slow. I figure I have to go slow to, like,

1488
01:48:23,480 --> 01:48:28,400
stay on your level. You know, some of us are going to sing a video. Okay, Dan, do you want to hit me with a merge message?

1489
01:48:30,360 --> 01:48:34,000
Whoa. Oh, Dan's not there. What?

1490
01:48:34,000 --> 01:48:37,360
Oh. Whoa. Oh, wow. Where'd Dan go?

1491
01:48:37,360 --> 01:48:40,840
Okay, well, cool. We'll find a Dan. We'll find a Dan later.

1492
01:48:40,840 --> 01:48:44,520
We'll get a new Dan. Yeah, Dan, do you want to hit me with a merge message?

1493
01:48:44,520 --> 01:48:48,240
Yeah, sure. I mean, we've got a couple of Dan's as it is. We've got Dan Siegel. We've got...

1494
01:48:48,240 --> 01:48:52,280
Oh, better Dan. Yeah. Better Dan? That's what I call him.

1495
01:48:52,280 --> 01:48:55,840
Only Dan's. Only Dan's. Dan's.com.

1496
01:48:55,840 --> 01:48:59,440
Shit. Dan, see that? Don't say that domain. It's probably a thing.

1497
01:48:59,440 --> 01:49:02,920
Yeah, it's probably a thing. Like all mustached men with a lot of body hair.

1498
01:49:02,920 --> 01:49:05,320
No, stop it. Stop it. Please.

1499
01:49:06,960 --> 01:49:10,120
Please, sir. It's okay. That's why we can't have nice things.

1500
01:49:10,120 --> 01:49:13,680
Yeah. That's why we can't have onlydans.com. Oh, my God.

1501
01:49:14,920 --> 01:49:18,880
I ate it here. You're going to give me so much traffic.

1502
01:49:18,880 --> 01:49:22,120
Too bad you're stuck. Yeah. Forever.

1503
01:49:22,120 --> 01:49:25,320
Hey, Linus, did you ever give out hot chocolate to people in line at NCIX?

1504
01:49:25,320 --> 01:49:28,280
Could quit Lumboxing Day, sir. Probably.

1505
01:49:28,480 --> 01:49:33,160
Oh, I remember NCIX used to do like weird things like that.

1506
01:49:33,160 --> 01:49:38,160
Dude, our boxing day and like grand opening day events,

1507
01:49:38,440 --> 01:49:42,320
they were events. Kind of cool, actually. They were actually fun.

1508
01:49:42,320 --> 01:49:47,640
Like I'd go out and I'd do like crowd work and like huck swag into the crowd and stuff.

1509
01:49:47,640 --> 01:49:51,280
And like it was, it was, man,

1510
01:49:51,280 --> 01:49:54,400
when NCIX was firing on all cylinders,

1511
01:49:54,400 --> 01:49:58,480
it was actually a pretty cool company overall and a pretty cool place to work.

1512
01:49:58,480 --> 01:50:01,600
Now, not everyone had the same experience I did.

1513
01:50:02,840 --> 01:50:08,080
I got to acknowledge that. I was told multiple times by multiple people

1514
01:50:08,080 --> 01:50:14,200
that I was sort of a favorite child. And enjoyed a bit of a privileged position there.

1515
01:50:15,360 --> 01:50:18,840
But I will say that, dang it, that's the second time I've done that.

1516
01:50:18,840 --> 01:50:22,080
It's the second time today I've tried to put it on with the thing.

1517
01:50:22,080 --> 01:50:25,760
Dude, whoa, that's a lot of thermal paste. That's fine. You just gooped it up, eh?

1518
01:50:25,760 --> 01:50:30,040
Yeah. Are you just putting the other fans on here or just one? I've been putting the second fans on,

1519
01:50:30,040 --> 01:50:33,720
but it's not a competition. I mean, I thought you said the most. Unless I win.

1520
01:50:35,040 --> 01:50:39,880
Oh, man. It's actually kind of fun to,

1521
01:50:39,880 --> 01:50:44,360
it's kind of fun to bring Jake on for our sweet 16 because you must have been 16 when you started here.

1522
01:50:44,360 --> 01:50:51,560
I was 15, actually. For like 26 more days, I was 15 at the time.

1523
01:50:51,560 --> 01:50:55,200
That's crazy. Are you even allowed to work here when you're 15? I don't know.

1524
01:50:55,200 --> 01:50:58,360
I think so. Yeah, you can start at 14. In BC.

1525
01:50:58,360 --> 01:51:01,920
Really? I mean, it seems like the kind of thing Yvonne would have figured out is she's actually

1526
01:51:01,920 --> 01:51:06,520
the one who hired him. I wouldn't have. Yeah. I wouldn't have clear attitude problems.

1527
01:51:06,520 --> 01:51:11,160
Oh, definitely. Problem child. 100%.

1528
01:51:11,160 --> 01:51:14,560
What did you do to impress her during the interview? I actually don't know much about your hiring.

1529
01:51:14,560 --> 01:51:17,680
I think it was Luke that made the,

1530
01:51:17,680 --> 01:51:22,280
Luke is the reason that I got hired because they gave me this just like

1531
01:51:22,280 --> 01:51:25,400
very poopy pre-production small form factor case

1532
01:51:25,400 --> 01:51:30,680
and was like take it apart because I guess somebody, nobody spent the time to take it apart beforehand

1533
01:51:30,680 --> 01:51:35,320
so I could assemble it on camera, or not on camera for the interview, let's say.

1534
01:51:35,320 --> 01:51:38,920
No, we specifically built it. We rebuilt it every time. Oh, yeah.

1535
01:51:38,920 --> 01:51:43,080
No, that was a thing. I don't know if I believe you. No, it's 100% a thing. Anyway, as I was taking it apart,

1536
01:51:43,080 --> 01:51:46,160
I was like, wow, this thing kind of sucks. Oh, the tolerances are kind of weird here.

1537
01:51:46,160 --> 01:51:50,080
Like, oh, why do they do it like this? Just like kind of reviewing it as I was doing it.

1538
01:51:50,080 --> 01:51:54,280
Not intentionally. And then Luke, I guess, was like, yeah, we should hire that guy.

1539
01:51:54,280 --> 01:51:57,640
That is pretty cool. I mean, we didn't hire him as a writer initially.

1540
01:51:57,640 --> 01:52:01,160
No, well, those didn't exist back then. Yeah, oh, well, they kind of did.

1541
01:52:01,160 --> 01:52:05,600
Like Luke and John. Luke and John were kind of writers at that time.

1542
01:52:05,600 --> 01:52:09,280
I don't know if we didn't really call it that, though. But no, Jake was our warehouse guy.

1543
01:52:09,280 --> 01:52:12,800
Yeah, otherwise known as Linus' personal assistant.

1544
01:52:12,800 --> 01:52:16,360
He did mostly just do whatever I needed done

1545
01:52:16,360 --> 01:52:20,000
because I didn't have time. Well, I never got to organize the warehouse

1546
01:52:20,000 --> 01:52:25,360
or anything like that because every time I get to work on the limited amount of hours I would work in a week,

1547
01:52:25,360 --> 01:52:30,880
there would just be so much stuff on my desk to deal with with no information, no sticky note.

1548
01:52:30,880 --> 01:52:34,600
No, hey, can you do this? No, no, I would put a deal with it sticky note.

1549
01:52:34,600 --> 01:52:38,960
Jake deal with sticky note. Deal with this. Can you, can you deal with this?

1550
01:52:38,960 --> 01:52:42,360
And that's it. What is this? I don't know.

1551
01:52:42,360 --> 01:52:45,960
What do I need to deal with? Huh? Those are all minor details.

1552
01:52:45,960 --> 01:52:49,640
Those are all minor details. So like half of my hours would be finding him

1553
01:52:49,640 --> 01:52:53,360
and being like, hi, what do you want me to do with this? And then doing the thing

1554
01:52:53,360 --> 01:52:58,040
and never actually cleaning anything up. Yeah, so I mean, that's why,

1555
01:52:58,040 --> 01:53:01,720
that's why he got fired from that position because he never actually cleaned the warehouse.

1556
01:53:01,720 --> 01:53:08,000
Listen, I never officially got fired from that position. I think it's a general laborer on my like pay stubs

1557
01:53:08,000 --> 01:53:09,720
for like four years.

1558
01:53:13,920 --> 01:53:19,200
Well, we didn't, in fairness, in fairness, we didn't really have like job titles at that time.

1559
01:53:19,200 --> 01:53:23,800
Yeah, that's, that's fair. We didn't really have like clear,

1560
01:53:23,800 --> 01:53:28,120
like clear like positions in the company, really.

1561
01:53:29,000 --> 01:53:32,160
I don't know, all this is just sounding like copium to me, so I'm just gonna.

1562
01:53:32,160 --> 01:53:36,240
I'm not making excuses for it. I'm, I think I'm meeting it pretty head on here.

1563
01:53:38,480 --> 01:53:43,920
It was a pretty random time and we didn't, we didn't have, nobody got time for like bureaucracy at that time.

1564
01:53:43,920 --> 01:53:47,280
I don't even remember the time before we had snacks.

1565
01:53:47,320 --> 01:53:51,040
Yeah, dude, snacks were such a game changer for me.

1566
01:53:52,040 --> 01:53:56,480
It's a problem because when the snacks are not refilled, it's like everyone in the office

1567
01:53:56,480 --> 01:54:00,320
becomes a little bit feral, especially him.

1568
01:54:01,160 --> 01:54:05,800
It happened recently because, I was told because of the, the strikes.

1569
01:54:05,800 --> 01:54:13,000
Our recent snack delivery was delayed. Yeah, so that's why, that's why we didn't have snacks.

1570
01:54:13,000 --> 01:54:16,560
And it's like, look at them. No, everything's fine.

1571
01:54:16,560 --> 01:54:20,720
Point the camera over here, point it at him. I didn't do anything. I didn't drop a laptop.

1572
01:54:22,160 --> 01:54:25,400
That wasn't me that dropped that laptop. You remember that, right? That was me.

1573
01:54:25,400 --> 01:54:29,520
I can, I can show you guys a closer look at that in a minute if you want.

1574
01:54:29,520 --> 01:54:33,200
It's not, it's not good. It's not great.

1575
01:54:33,200 --> 01:54:36,200
Did you just take my screwdriver? No, you didn't. I thought about it.

1576
01:54:36,200 --> 01:54:40,760
I looked at it and went, this would make it difficult for him to win. I could see the look on his face

1577
01:54:40,760 --> 01:54:44,520
and I heard a screwdriver move. That was all the information I had.

1578
01:54:45,520 --> 01:54:49,880
Knowing me, that's a reasonable substance. I've been hanging around with this guy

1579
01:54:49,880 --> 01:54:54,280
for a minute or two, so I've seen pretty likely.

1580
01:54:54,280 --> 01:54:58,640
The only screwdriver that I will ever steal from you is that clear one.

1581
01:54:59,560 --> 01:55:03,560
And you know, it's just sitting in a drawer actually. Oh really, you don't even use it?

1582
01:55:03,560 --> 01:55:08,720
No. I just like to look at it sometimes and feel a sense of accomplishment.

1583
01:55:08,720 --> 01:55:12,280
I really want to bring the clear screwdriver to market, but there were issues with the mold.

1584
01:55:12,320 --> 01:55:13,880
Ooh, cable manage this.

1585
01:55:16,320 --> 01:55:19,160
I gotta fix this. Here, can I, yeah, thanks.

1586
01:55:20,120 --> 01:55:24,880
Seriously? Yeah. How does this happen every single time?

1587
01:55:24,880 --> 01:55:29,160
Look how much of the table I get. You're little, it's fine. And look how much of the table he gets.

1588
01:55:29,160 --> 01:55:31,480
We both have the same size computer.

1589
01:55:33,520 --> 01:55:36,760
The computer takes up the same amount of space. The person doesn't.

1590
01:55:36,760 --> 01:55:42,360
Jake looks bigger. What? Jake looks bigger, is that what you said?

1591
01:55:42,360 --> 01:55:45,680
Hey Jordan, how are we doing for time?

1592
01:55:45,680 --> 01:55:49,600
No, no, I mean each machine. Each machine, what's our,

1593
01:55:49,600 --> 01:55:52,480
how's our time trending on a per machine basis?

1594
01:55:54,480 --> 01:55:58,200
You have 13 minutes left. No, no, I know, but how are we tracking?

1595
01:55:58,200 --> 01:56:03,640
I've told you several times I'm not tracking that. But someone's got to tell us

1596
01:56:03,640 --> 01:56:07,680
so that we can know what we're doing better. I don't have a fucking internet line as I don't want to tell you.

1597
01:56:07,680 --> 01:56:11,560
You should have internet. What is going on? I'm well aware of trying to make it work.

1598
01:56:11,560 --> 01:56:16,240
I will come do tech support for you. Okay. Jake, do you still use the 7900XTX?

1599
01:56:16,240 --> 01:56:19,840
I do, actually. Casper Explorer on full plane was asking.

1600
01:56:19,840 --> 01:56:23,800
It's actually been really solid. Okay, tech support, bye.

1601
01:56:23,800 --> 01:56:30,160
The only, you know, actually my computer has been a massive steaming pile of doo-doo for ages,

1602
01:56:30,160 --> 01:56:34,200
like in terms of stability, but it wasn't the graphics card's fault.

1603
01:56:34,200 --> 01:56:38,280
It was pretty much in, it ended up being an audio issue

1604
01:56:38,280 --> 01:56:41,720
that was causing it. You were telling me about this. Yeah, oh boy.

1605
01:56:41,720 --> 01:56:48,400
So the new Call of Duty Black Ops 6 seemed to make this problem substantially worse.

1606
01:56:48,400 --> 01:56:51,640
And I'm not really sure why, but apparently other people have experienced

1607
01:56:51,640 --> 01:56:55,480
weird audio issues with it. Anyways, the game would crash.

1608
01:56:55,480 --> 01:57:00,480
I'd be like playing, it'd be like, I was always like between one and two minutes

1609
01:57:00,480 --> 01:57:05,480
before the end of the game. And then my whole everything would just pause

1610
01:57:05,480 --> 01:57:10,680
and I could still hear. But then you'd hear like a peek in the audio

1611
01:57:10,680 --> 01:57:13,800
and then the game would resume. And the last thing that I would think,

1612
01:57:13,800 --> 01:57:17,600
the last thing I'd think, if my audio is the only thing that's working,

1613
01:57:17,600 --> 01:57:23,080
is that the issue is my sound hardware. Yeah, yeah, and it was, actually.

1614
01:57:23,080 --> 01:57:25,240
So how'd you diagnose that again? The audio.

1615
01:57:26,680 --> 01:57:31,600
I reinstalled Windows after like, trying literally everything I possibly could

1616
01:57:31,600 --> 01:57:38,340
to not have to reinstall Windows. And then I hadn't installed the audio interface drivers yet

1617
01:57:38,340 --> 01:57:41,740
because it has like a default Windows driver that it uses

1618
01:57:41,740 --> 01:57:47,020
when you don't have the drivers. Everything was fine, installed the audio interface drivers,

1619
01:57:47,020 --> 01:57:50,300
and then everything went to crap immediately after. I was like, it's gotta be that.

1620
01:57:50,300 --> 01:57:56,020
Uninstalled them, it stopped crashing. So I bought a new audio interface.

1621
01:57:56,020 --> 01:57:59,060
Which one are you using now? It's a Mo2M4.

1622
01:57:59,060 --> 01:58:04,380
I hadn't heard of this brand before, but I looked up online like measurements of like,

1623
01:58:04,380 --> 01:58:07,540
ooh, the signal to noise ratio, and they were good. And it seems to work pretty nice.

1624
01:58:07,540 --> 01:58:11,900
It's got a little screen on the front. Wow, signal to noise ratio. That really takes me back.

1625
01:58:11,900 --> 01:58:16,780
Like, Audigee ZX reviews, you know what I'm saying?

1626
01:58:16,780 --> 01:58:21,100
Nobody really looks at that anymore. The thing with like cheap audio interfaces

1627
01:58:21,100 --> 01:58:25,740
is so many of them are built just with the nearly the exact same hardware.

1628
01:58:25,740 --> 01:58:30,780
Right. And they're all just kind of whatever. So I was trying to find something that's like,

1629
01:58:30,780 --> 01:58:37,580
in a decent price category, like two to 300, or maybe 400 Canadian, that was maybe a little bit better

1630
01:58:37,580 --> 01:58:41,500
for whatever reason, and this seems to be quite a bit better than those other ones. It looks like a good one.

1631
01:58:41,500 --> 01:58:45,340
Yeah. I was investigating some Mo2 stuff for my own setup.

1632
01:58:46,460 --> 01:58:49,980
And any driver issues since then? No. Okay, so confirm.

1633
01:58:49,980 --> 01:58:55,660
Which one was the bad one then, if you don't mind us calling them out? You know, I think calling them out is reasonable.

1634
01:58:55,660 --> 01:58:59,780
Did you steal my GPU? What? No, I don't have a GPU. What is it doing down here?

1635
01:59:01,060 --> 01:59:02,900
Here, let me untrinkle this.

1636
01:59:05,020 --> 01:59:08,420
It was a ART.

1637
01:59:08,420 --> 01:59:11,780
Oh, you bought the cheap stuff. Voice channel. It's not that cheap.

1638
01:59:11,780 --> 01:59:15,540
It's like a $600 Canadian. Yeah, yeah, that's right. It's a full channel strip. That's why I like it.

1639
01:59:15,540 --> 01:59:20,460
It had like DSR, EQ. Never mind. Noise gate, compressor, all built in.

1640
01:59:20,460 --> 01:59:24,340
It's supposed to be like all of the stuff you need for a mic in one channel.

1641
01:59:24,340 --> 01:59:28,260
Yeah, yeah, that's nice. And it had, it also has an interface in it.

1642
01:59:28,260 --> 01:59:31,980
That's why I originally got it, because it was everything in one.

1643
01:59:31,980 --> 01:59:35,300
Right. And then. But as it turns out,

1644
01:59:35,300 --> 01:59:40,300
all in ones can sometimes be more trouble than they're worth.

1645
01:59:40,660 --> 01:59:45,260
Oh man, Andy came in and he was expecting me to do like some kind of dad joke punchline, I think.

1646
01:59:45,260 --> 01:59:48,820
No Andy, I got nothing. I got absolutely nothing for that.

1647
01:59:48,820 --> 01:59:51,860
Dan, do you want to hit me with a merge message though? Yeah, sure.

1648
01:59:51,860 --> 01:59:56,700
Am I required to put all the screws in here? No one's required to do anything, Jake.

1649
01:59:56,740 --> 02:00:00,940
So I didn't put any of the screws in before putting the graphics card in it. And that just occurred to me.

1650
02:00:00,940 --> 02:00:04,700
So I don't know if I can actually reach them all. I think I can.

1651
02:00:04,700 --> 02:00:08,220
Nice. I got one here that's more of a comment first. Sure, hit me, Dan.

1652
02:00:08,220 --> 02:00:10,820
Thank you Linus, for all you've done for short people representation.

1653
02:00:12,100 --> 02:00:15,820
And then another one here from Philip. Reasonable. Will CPU pillows make a return?

1654
02:00:16,780 --> 02:00:20,900
We do have some alpaca wool that we kind of need to figure out what to do with.

1655
02:00:20,900 --> 02:00:25,860
Dude, we need to bring back the bread. I think, I don't know if the bread's coming back,

1656
02:00:25,860 --> 02:00:29,260
but I think someone floated the idea

1657
02:00:29,260 --> 02:00:33,540
of bringing back the CPU pillow to get rid of some alpaca wool.

1658
02:00:33,540 --> 02:00:38,380
Ah. Yeah, we just, we just like, I think it's appreciated in the time we've had it.

1659
02:00:38,380 --> 02:00:41,980
So like, I don't know. It's appreciated. Good investment.

1660
02:00:41,980 --> 02:00:44,980
I thought you weren't big on the whole investing in stonks thing.

1661
02:00:44,980 --> 02:00:49,620
Well, alpaca wool is hardly a stonk. I mean, it's stonk.

1662
02:00:49,620 --> 02:00:52,700
It's stonk, like we have it in stock,

1663
02:00:52,700 --> 02:00:56,940
but it's not like stonks. Is alpaca wool a registered security?

1664
02:00:56,940 --> 02:01:02,620
Yeah, I really, I really don't think so. Is there, is there somebody that like approves those?

1665
02:01:02,620 --> 02:01:06,340
I guess it has to be listed on a stonk exchange. Yeah, I would think so.

1666
02:01:06,340 --> 02:01:10,300
Is there a website called stonks exchange? All right, don't look it up, please.

1667
02:01:10,300 --> 02:01:14,620
Yeah, don't look it up. It's probably a scam. Or other things that are not good.

1668
02:01:14,620 --> 02:01:19,460
Yeah. Man, it's kind of crazy how sort of scary

1669
02:01:19,460 --> 02:01:23,100
the internet has gotten. Like, I don't know, you might be too young for this,

1670
02:01:23,140 --> 02:01:27,180
but we used to use the term surf the web.

1671
02:01:28,260 --> 02:01:31,500
Like, we would, we would- I'm too young to have heard that term.

1672
02:01:31,500 --> 02:01:37,540
No, not to have heard the term, but for like surfing the web being a reasonable thing to do.

1673
02:01:37,540 --> 02:01:41,380
What? Like, you surf the web, you're gonna find some stuff, dude.

1674
02:01:41,380 --> 02:01:45,140
I mean, I have- It's always kind of been like- I have seen some things on the internet.

1675
02:01:45,140 --> 02:01:49,420
No, okay, that I know. We're not talking about that right now. I don't think it got better.

1676
02:01:49,420 --> 02:01:54,260
I, yeah, I don't, I don't know what kind of like- No, I'm saying, I think it's probably gotten worse.

1677
02:01:54,260 --> 02:01:57,740
What was the wild, oh yeah, 100% it's gotten worse. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

1678
02:01:57,740 --> 02:02:01,740
I know you're saying it got better. I'm like, no, dude. We used to be able to surf the web

1679
02:02:01,740 --> 02:02:05,420
and probably not everything was trying to steal your personal data.

1680
02:02:05,420 --> 02:02:09,100
And it wasn't just core websites. Like, you'd get inundated with ads and stuff.

1681
02:02:09,100 --> 02:02:13,260
I think everything is still trying to steal your data. You're just like- No, everything is now.

1682
02:02:13,260 --> 02:02:17,300
Oh, okay. I mean, like, you could surf the web, you know?

1683
02:02:17,300 --> 02:02:22,300
And probably not everything was like a catastrophe.

1684
02:02:22,540 --> 02:02:26,500
You know, like every site you go to is just trying to fish you.

1685
02:02:27,660 --> 02:02:31,740
I don't know, it just feels like, it feels like the internet is as dangerous,

1686
02:02:31,740 --> 02:02:36,620
if not more dangerous than ever. Oh, I- Is there meant to only be one piece of CPU power?

1687
02:02:36,620 --> 02:02:40,500
I scratched the side panel, but no one's gonna know

1688
02:02:40,500 --> 02:02:45,500
because I'm gonna pull out a super awesome move here

1689
02:02:45,500 --> 02:02:48,500
and no one will ever notice. No one will know.

1690
02:02:48,500 --> 02:02:52,860
Oh, you're gonna stick the sticker on there? I'm gonna stick the sweet 16 sticker on there, right?

1691
02:02:52,860 --> 02:02:57,100
Where the scratch was. Beautiful. Is there meant to only be one CPU power connector?

1692
02:02:57,100 --> 02:03:01,380
Yes. Why? Because otherwise we don't have enough PCIe connectors

1693
02:03:01,380 --> 02:03:04,460
on the power supply to plug in the RGB interface thing.

1694
02:03:04,460 --> 02:03:07,820
The RGB interface, that's fine, you don't need it. What are you trading with?

1695
02:03:07,820 --> 02:03:11,100
PCIe power. Oh, okay, sure. You can do your Java, we're gonna have a moment.

1696
02:03:11,100 --> 02:03:14,320
Oh, okay, hey, Java mid-spot, look at that.

1697
02:03:14,320 --> 02:03:20,520
We mentioned earlier that we're gonna be selling each of the builds we're doing today for $1,600 on Java.

1698
02:03:20,520 --> 02:03:25,160
So why don't we take a look at what will be up against in their gaming PCs section?

1699
02:03:25,160 --> 02:03:28,920
And Dan's doing that. Oh. Or do I go over there? Yeah.

1700
02:03:28,920 --> 02:03:33,380
Oh, cool, I go over there. Okay. So we just punch in a price range

1701
02:03:33,380 --> 02:03:37,360
and let's go with verified sellers, apparently.

1702
02:03:37,360 --> 02:03:41,600
They've been vetted by the Java team, so you know they'll stand behind what they're selling

1703
02:03:41,600 --> 02:03:44,960
and we're supposed to look at two to three listings and give some thoughts, okay, cool.

1704
02:03:44,960 --> 02:03:48,200
I am currently looking for verified sellers.

1705
02:03:48,200 --> 02:03:51,320
Okay, can you just filter by verified sellers?

1706
02:03:51,320 --> 02:03:54,360
Here, we'll sort by. The link I gave you had that already on there.

1707
02:03:54,360 --> 02:03:57,840
Oh, you gave me another link, is this not a different link?

1708
02:03:57,840 --> 02:04:02,560
Cool. Oh, that's not okay. This is a smooth production today.

1709
02:04:02,560 --> 02:04:09,400
We didn't go over that earlier. We did, we were there for that. That's fine, guys, okay children, don't squabble please.

1710
02:04:09,400 --> 02:04:13,480
Feel like I'm listening to my kids in the back of the van. Oh boy, this is embarrassing.

1711
02:04:13,480 --> 02:04:14,320
All right, one sec.

1712
02:04:17,920 --> 02:04:21,880
What do we got here? Oh yeah, we got this. We got this, don't even worry.

1713
02:04:21,880 --> 02:04:27,080
It's okay, I'm sure it's my fault. Wow, what is happening right now? This is a, this is a whole thing.

1714
02:04:27,080 --> 02:04:30,560
He sure does. Good gravy, what is this interface?

1715
02:04:30,560 --> 02:04:33,560
There we go, verified sellers. Okay, cool, verified, oh wait.

1716
02:04:33,560 --> 02:04:37,520
Okay, and this is all in kind of our price? Okay, well one of them is us.

1717
02:04:37,520 --> 02:04:44,480
Okay, here's a pro gamer PC. 1200KF, RTX 478Ti, 32KTi, this is actually pretty competitive.

1718
02:04:46,600 --> 02:04:51,040
That's pretty nice. I think we have, oh yeah, I know we also have

1719
02:04:51,040 --> 02:04:53,000
a 750 watt power supply.

1720
02:04:54,080 --> 02:04:58,400
What do we have over this? We've got a newer CPU, we've got a 7800X3D.

1721
02:04:58,400 --> 02:05:03,400
I'd say our GPU is, we've got a 7800XT,

1722
02:05:03,920 --> 02:05:06,440
so we're probably reasonably close to this,

1723
02:05:07,160 --> 02:05:10,560
so if I had the choice, I might actually prefer the 478Ti Super.

1724
02:05:11,480 --> 02:05:16,120
We've got, I think we've probably got a slightly nicer case.

1725
02:05:16,120 --> 02:05:20,200
Are we including Windows? Like real Windows is included? Oh yeah, okay, we've got real Windows, that's good.

1726
02:05:20,200 --> 02:05:23,400
The one is 11 Pro. Cool, okay, that's a nice little machine.

1727
02:05:23,400 --> 02:05:26,520
What else we got here? It's got RGB and everything.

1728
02:05:29,280 --> 02:05:33,280
Here, let's, that one looks cool. Sure, yeah, let's look at that one.

1729
02:05:33,280 --> 02:05:36,520
It's got orange. It's got the same GPU as us.

1730
02:05:36,520 --> 02:05:39,640
We've got a slightly better CPU, a little bit more SSD storage.

1731
02:05:39,640 --> 02:05:43,160
We have two terabytes, but they've also got 32 gigs of RAM.

1732
02:05:43,160 --> 02:05:45,360
There's some pretty decent deals on here.

1733
02:05:46,840 --> 02:05:49,480
Not bad. Neat. All right, cool.

1734
02:05:50,640 --> 02:05:55,340
So my notes say it may look like we're underpricing our builds a little,

1735
02:05:55,340 --> 02:05:59,960
and I guess we are a little bit, like I think we're quite competitive with what's on there.

1736
02:05:59,960 --> 02:06:03,160
But the only way we were able to do that

1737
02:06:03,160 --> 02:06:06,880
was that the brands that provided these parts for us,

1738
02:06:06,880 --> 02:06:09,920
they didn't charge us for them. When they heard that we were doing this for charity,

1739
02:06:09,920 --> 02:06:14,720
they were like pretty excited to get on board, just like Java, and sent over a lot of this stuff for nothing.

1740
02:06:14,720 --> 02:06:19,200
So we thought, hey, that's the way, our buyers get a little bit more bang for their buck.

1741
02:06:19,200 --> 02:06:24,960
The system should sell out quickly, and we're still able to provide a pretty solid donation

1742
02:06:24,960 --> 02:06:28,320
to our local food bank in time for the holiday season.

1743
02:06:28,320 --> 02:06:31,560
Pretty cool little project.

1744
02:06:31,560 --> 02:06:34,640
And a lot of fun today. How's your system going, Jake?

1745
02:06:34,640 --> 02:06:41,920
You just about done, you done taking advantage of your huge, huge time advantage you got just there?

1746
02:06:41,920 --> 02:06:46,080
What happened? Yeah, exactly. Did you put the IO shield plate in?

1747
02:06:46,080 --> 02:06:49,080
Oh yeah, did Jake put an IO shield in? Of course I put it in.

1748
02:06:49,080 --> 02:06:54,560
You are the first. Are you joking? You are the first of our non-Linus builders

1749
02:06:54,560 --> 02:06:59,900
to put in an IO shield. I have built a few computers in my day.

1750
02:06:59,940 --> 02:07:03,660
All of the other ones left out the IO shield. Where the devil is my GPU?

1751
02:07:03,660 --> 02:07:07,220
Every computer in my household that it is possible

1752
02:07:07,220 --> 02:07:09,260
to miss it on, it is missing.

1753
02:07:10,340 --> 02:07:13,860
Jake, did you take my GPU? I didn't take your GPU.

1754
02:07:13,860 --> 02:07:18,060
Did someone take my GPU? I actually don't think I have it. What? Oh.

1755
02:07:18,060 --> 02:07:23,700
Oh no, it's in a box. Oh man, all the other ones were in anti-static bags.

1756
02:07:23,700 --> 02:07:27,260
So I just assumed it'd be in an ESD bag. All right, Dan, do you want to hit me with a merge message?

1757
02:07:27,260 --> 02:07:30,700
Or wait, Jordan, are there any things on your list I'm supposed to do?

1758
02:07:30,700 --> 02:07:33,740
Well, probably. Well, probably. All right, we'll give them a minute.

1759
02:07:33,740 --> 02:07:37,580
We talked about them already. You're good. All right, Dan, do you want to hit me with a merge message?

1760
02:07:37,580 --> 02:07:42,300
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Is there anything stopping me from just turning this on now?

1761
02:07:42,300 --> 02:07:46,900
A power plug, maybe. Well, yeah, thanks. Hi Linus, just got married in October

1762
02:07:46,900 --> 02:07:50,140
and leaving soon for a three week honeymoon in Hawaii.

1763
02:07:50,140 --> 02:07:53,980
Wow, congrats. Any vacation tips for making this trip extramemorable?

1764
02:07:53,980 --> 02:07:57,220
We haven't gone on a trip like this since 2016.

1765
02:07:57,220 --> 02:08:00,980
I mean, I can tell you right now, given that it's been a minute,

1766
02:08:00,980 --> 02:08:05,260
it's probably gonna be pretty darn memorable.

1767
02:08:05,260 --> 02:08:09,380
Oh man, I'm trying to think. Is there a monitor? Oh, this thing in the middle, that's the testing card?

1768
02:08:09,380 --> 02:08:13,280
Yeah. This is very much, this is very much personal taste.

1769
02:08:13,280 --> 02:08:17,300
But I find the pictures that I actually look back on

1770
02:08:17,300 --> 02:08:20,540
most fondly are not the posed ones.

1771
02:08:21,740 --> 02:08:25,260
Yes, hand it, oh, buy a disposable camera

1772
02:08:25,260 --> 02:08:28,300
and then just take some silly photos.

1773
02:08:29,140 --> 02:08:32,540
Don't overthink the photos, the ones of actual memories for sure

1774
02:08:32,540 --> 02:08:36,660
are definitely better than the posed ones. Like looking back at just like,

1775
02:08:36,660 --> 02:08:43,900
I don't know, the kids hanging out in the room, you know, reading books and, you know, watching TV,

1776
02:08:43,900 --> 02:08:46,080
just like chilling or like,

1777
02:08:47,460 --> 02:08:51,820
I don't know, just like the picture of everyone walking down the street, you know?

1778
02:08:51,820 --> 02:08:54,820
You don't have to be in front of a famous landmark.

1779
02:08:55,220 --> 02:08:59,800
And for me anyway, I find the most meaningful memories

1780
02:08:59,800 --> 02:09:03,140
are the ones where it was, you know, nobody really posed.

1781
02:09:03,140 --> 02:09:06,980
You may be just like, make a noise to, you know, get the younglings' attention.

1782
02:09:06,980 --> 02:09:11,140
But other than that, it's just in the moment,

1783
02:09:11,140 --> 02:09:16,940
you know, capturing what everyone was doing. I've also found that lately, I've started to take more,

1784
02:09:16,940 --> 02:09:19,020
just like short little video clips.

1785
02:09:20,860 --> 02:09:23,100
You know, just a couple minute video of like,

1786
02:09:24,100 --> 02:09:31,820
one of my kids explaining the story they wrote or talking about their day at school or whatever else.

1787
02:09:32,260 --> 02:09:35,300
And those have been a lot of fun to go back in

1788
02:09:35,300 --> 02:09:38,340
and watch as well. Yeah, put it on outside of the plastic. Seriously?

1789
02:09:38,340 --> 02:09:42,780
Well, because then if the person doesn't want it, they can peel it, right? Jake, you're not peeling everything, are you?

1790
02:09:42,780 --> 02:09:47,060
But then if they do want it? This thing has got to get shipped, bro. Why are you peeling all the stuff?

1791
02:09:47,060 --> 02:09:50,540
Oh, I'm not peeling all the stuff. You just peel. Like all those things you peel. What?

1792
02:09:50,540 --> 02:09:53,060
What, you peel that? Yeah. That has nothing to do with shipping.

1793
02:09:53,820 --> 02:09:57,180
That's a fan hub. I'm putting it on here. Don't put it on the plastic. Why?

1794
02:09:57,180 --> 02:10:00,580
No, don't put it on the plastic. You gotta put it under the plastic. Peel off the plastic, put it on,

1795
02:10:00,580 --> 02:10:04,340
and then put it on the plastic. And the person that gets this, they're not gonna leave this. No, stop it.

1796
02:10:04,340 --> 02:10:07,500
No, look, I'm not doing that. No, I'm not gonna put it there. Just leave the plastic.

1797
02:10:07,500 --> 02:10:11,700
God, you guys are the worst. Now he can't win, because his system won't be complete.

1798
02:10:11,700 --> 02:10:15,060
I'm putting it over here. Got him. What did you do? Did you steal something?

1799
02:10:15,060 --> 02:10:19,300
Got him. I put the sticker on the back, kind of poorly so that it can come off easily.

1800
02:10:19,340 --> 02:10:23,100
Oh my goodness. Where can I test this thing? You can plug it in over there.

1801
02:10:24,620 --> 02:10:27,700
Dan, are we working on getting the times for all the systems?

1802
02:10:27,700 --> 02:10:31,220
I have to throw the laptop on the floor first, right? Yeah. Are you able to do that?

1803
02:10:31,220 --> 02:10:36,020
It's on the ground. Jordan, do you want to, like...

1804
02:10:36,020 --> 02:10:40,860
Just ask the chat. Oh, I don't have chat. I didn't screw the power supply in.

1805
02:10:40,860 --> 02:10:44,580
What? Chat, help. Chat. Oh, what?

1806
02:10:44,580 --> 02:10:47,940
I can still win this? You got time. Go, go, go, go, go. Let's go.

1807
02:10:48,060 --> 02:10:51,820
Speed GPU install. Here we go. Why did I put the side panel back on?

1808
02:10:51,820 --> 02:10:56,180
Here we go. Oh, he's got a side panel and everything? Oh dude, I can totally win this.

1809
02:10:56,180 --> 02:10:58,380
All I got to do is put these two screws in.

1810
02:11:01,380 --> 02:11:07,260
Not that this is a competition because quality, quality is actually far more important for these machines

1811
02:11:07,260 --> 02:11:11,860
than getting them done quickly because they will be going to some of you

1812
02:11:11,860 --> 02:11:15,340
who are buying them, you know, quality first. But any who?

1813
02:11:15,340 --> 02:11:19,740
Trust me, bro. Is this another 7800 XT? Yep. All right, it's a brand new one too.

1814
02:11:19,740 --> 02:11:22,820
Yeah, those ones are from Colorful. Oh, Colorful sent it.

1815
02:11:22,820 --> 02:11:26,820
Oh, that's nice of them. Okay. Hey, look at that.

1816
02:11:26,820 --> 02:11:29,860
And a side panel.

1817
02:11:30,980 --> 02:11:34,220
Oh, we got a power supply in place. The race is on.

1818
02:11:34,220 --> 02:11:38,020
And a front panel. Who can grab the cables first? Cables grabbed.

1819
02:11:38,020 --> 02:11:42,020
Yeah, he's already got the cables, which I think is actually kind of a cheat, personally.

1820
02:11:42,020 --> 02:11:45,180
Chat is not helping. I think that's kind of a cheat, personally.

1821
02:11:45,180 --> 02:11:48,260
What did you say? Chat is not helping? I think they said at least five.

1822
02:11:48,260 --> 02:11:51,740
Well, if you're done this one now, you've caught up. There we go. I'm done.

1823
02:11:51,740 --> 02:11:55,420
You've caught up. You have 30 seconds left. Pencil's down. Let's go.

1824
02:11:55,420 --> 02:12:00,740
Good work. Let's go. How many more? You know, Jake, couldn't help noticing

1825
02:12:00,740 --> 02:12:04,500
that my computer was done.

1826
02:12:04,500 --> 02:12:09,060
Let's see if his post. 30-fuck did. What are you talking about? Yeah, but that's cool because he stole the cables

1827
02:12:09,060 --> 02:12:13,460
before he was actually done the guy. What do you mean? I was, I put that in literally after.

1828
02:12:13,460 --> 02:12:17,380
All right, well, let's see. Let's see. Let's see if it burns up. Let's see if it fires up.

1829
02:12:17,380 --> 02:12:18,220
Here we go.

1830
02:12:21,540 --> 02:12:25,900
Yeah, no, no, no. Don't get us copyright strikes. Well, while we're waiting for that,

1831
02:12:25,900 --> 02:12:29,340
let's see if Jake can guess the next yearly.

1832
02:12:29,340 --> 02:12:33,580
Sure. The next what? That'll be fun. Yearly memory. So the last one was the fire truck.

1833
02:12:33,580 --> 02:12:37,580
Nice. Oh, there's a specific memory.

1834
02:12:37,580 --> 02:12:41,060
So 2013, 2014, what do you think was the most viewed video

1835
02:12:41,060 --> 02:12:44,060
in that year from November to November?

1836
02:12:44,060 --> 02:12:47,100
2013, I have no idea. Were you alive then?

1837
02:12:47,100 --> 02:12:51,500
No. I'm still not alive.

1838
02:12:51,500 --> 02:12:54,740
No guesses at all? What am I going to guess? All right, Linus, you got a guess.

1839
02:12:54,740 --> 02:12:59,620
I made a terrible mistake. And so did Jake.

1840
02:12:59,620 --> 02:13:04,620
So we may have to see who can fix it first to determine who

1841
02:13:04,620 --> 02:13:08,140
actually won. I made a terrible mistake, what do you mean? We both made a terrible mistake.

1842
02:13:08,140 --> 02:13:15,180
Of what? We both forgot to bend up the tab on the DP on the IO shield.

1843
02:13:15,220 --> 02:13:18,620
I forgot to bend up the tab.

1844
02:13:18,620 --> 02:13:20,340
Oh, honey, that's awful.

1845
02:13:22,980 --> 02:13:27,060
Who in there? How many of you unplugged my computer?

1846
02:13:27,060 --> 02:13:30,620
Who do you think you are? I'm going to pull back. Oh, I'm going to do this. Oh, jeez.

1847
02:13:30,620 --> 02:13:37,740
I did it on all three of the other ones. And I kept getting pulled away from this build.

1848
02:13:37,740 --> 02:13:42,740
And so Jake's taking the trial.

1849
02:13:42,820 --> 02:13:48,380
Yeah, Andy, you'll have to go get a look at it. Jake's is worse if you want to get a better look.

1850
02:13:48,380 --> 02:13:52,660
You speak for yourself there, mister. Jake's is much worse.

1851
02:13:52,660 --> 02:13:56,260
There's nothing wrong with mine. Mine's great.

1852
02:13:56,260 --> 02:14:00,020
I need a not stubby screwdriver. Great.

1853
02:14:00,020 --> 02:14:03,740
Do you just have a knife stuffed in there? There's nothing. Relax, Dan.

1854
02:14:03,740 --> 02:14:09,540
Everything's going to be OK, buddy. Oh, boy. Where did you get a knife?

1855
02:14:09,540 --> 02:14:13,100
Don't worry about it. I guess we're in a kitchen. Everything's fine. Everything's beautiful.

1856
02:14:13,100 --> 02:14:17,060
Everything's great. I'm just going to go ahead and do this. I'm so sorry to whoever.

1857
02:14:17,060 --> 02:14:20,220
Linus already got blood on a couple of the other ones, so that's totally fine.

1858
02:14:20,220 --> 02:14:24,180
All right. We're good. Only kind of sharp. Did you mangle it?

1859
02:14:24,180 --> 02:14:27,300
No. That's not the proper way to do that. Look at the thing.

1860
02:14:27,300 --> 02:14:30,300
It's mint. Listen, sir. That's not the proper way to do that.

1861
02:14:30,300 --> 02:14:34,460
I work on BMWs all the time. That's all I do is mangle.

1862
02:14:34,460 --> 02:14:38,140
It's not mangling it if you unmangle it after nobody notices it.

1863
02:14:38,140 --> 02:14:41,340
All right, Andy, I'll let you be the judge. You go have a look. It's a true mechanic.

1864
02:14:41,340 --> 02:14:45,140
It's the only kind of mangle. You might have to turn it so Andy can see. Yeah, turn it on and mangle it a little bit.

1865
02:14:45,140 --> 02:14:48,540
You see? It's a little sharp. It's a little sharp, like the knife I used to do it.

1866
02:14:48,540 --> 02:14:53,900
And then we're just going to go like that. Bend it back a little bit.

1867
02:14:53,900 --> 02:14:57,340
If you're plugging in a cable, it should be fine. Yeah.

1868
02:14:57,340 --> 02:15:01,140
OK, so I get Andy's vote. Why would you plug into the DP on the motherboard

1869
02:15:01,140 --> 02:15:06,060
when it hasn't? Yeah, yeah, Linus. Well, why would you want to maybe short it out?

1870
02:15:06,060 --> 02:15:10,500
Yeah, it's got some tape. Yeah, no, it's still bad to leave it there. To be clear, you don't want it in there.

1871
02:15:10,500 --> 02:15:16,500
Sometimes it can actually short things. And sometimes your computer won't turn on because of that.

1872
02:15:16,500 --> 02:15:20,380
Rats. Here, let me use the knife to bend it. So much for being caught up now.

1873
02:15:20,380 --> 02:15:23,860
Back some more. Because I'm doing things properly.

1874
02:15:23,860 --> 02:15:27,020
Actually bending it. Actually bending it. There you go. Properly.

1875
02:15:27,020 --> 02:15:30,740
Listen to this cope. We're in our safety humidity when we need them.

1876
02:15:30,740 --> 02:15:33,740
Let me, here, I'll turn the knife away from my face. That's a good call.

1877
02:15:33,740 --> 02:15:37,580
Oh my goodness. What? Cut to your friends, not to your face.

1878
02:15:37,620 --> 02:15:40,740
Towards your friends, not to your face. Is that what you said, Dan?

1879
02:15:40,740 --> 02:15:44,300
Yeah. That's the thing Dan would say, all right? Yeah, certainly.

1880
02:15:44,300 --> 02:15:47,580
Well, anyways, you guys are pretty good. She's manned. That's fine.

1881
02:15:47,580 --> 02:15:51,940
I mean, it did that by itself. So are you still doing this?

1882
02:15:51,940 --> 02:15:55,540
What's he doing over there? I took the board out so that I could bend it back

1883
02:15:55,540 --> 02:15:58,660
so that I could. Oh, it ended up back in the port again. It did not.

1884
02:15:58,660 --> 02:16:03,260
I'm just kidding. What a guy.

1885
02:16:03,260 --> 02:16:07,540
That look. All right.

1886
02:16:07,540 --> 02:16:11,540
What's next? What does chat think? Who had the better method?

1887
02:16:11,540 --> 02:16:14,620
Who wins, chat? Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.

1888
02:16:14,620 --> 02:16:17,980
Chat usually sides against me just for the lulls,

1889
02:16:17,980 --> 02:16:22,180
but I don't think they're going to like your knife method very much. I'm going to give full plain knife.

1890
02:16:22,180 --> 02:16:25,540
Remember, these are computers that people are actually paying money for.

1891
02:16:25,540 --> 02:16:30,980
Jake, Jake, Jake. They're almost as plain as. Knife, blindness, Jake.

1892
02:16:30,980 --> 02:16:34,780
Jake, knife. I like knife. OK, they like the knife. I like the knife.

1893
02:16:34,780 --> 02:16:39,980
OK. Vote kick knife. I don't know.

1894
02:16:39,980 --> 02:16:44,340
Perfect. All right. Thanks, everybody. Appreciate your support out there.

1895
02:16:44,340 --> 02:16:48,060
Here, Andy. All right. Thanks, Jake. Thanks for popping in.

1896
02:16:48,060 --> 02:16:51,340
Bye. Thanks for being the first one to actually build a functioning computer.

1897
02:16:51,340 --> 02:16:54,660
Yeah, it did work. Well, I mean, it might crash, announce it.

1898
02:16:54,660 --> 02:16:57,780
Yeah, it still could. I mean, we did boot it up once with a thing

1899
02:16:57,780 --> 02:17:02,260
shorting out the DisplayPort port. Where do you want this? On the table.

1900
02:17:02,260 --> 02:17:05,340
This one. Over here. Oh, you want on that table.

1901
02:17:05,340 --> 02:17:09,540
That was the idea, yeah. Hey, did we ever figure out that most viewed video?

1902
02:17:09,540 --> 02:17:13,620
No. Did Jake take a guess? No. He chickened out. I don't have anything.

1903
02:17:13,620 --> 02:17:16,940
Like, there's nothing in my brain that the answer, the field,

1904
02:17:16,940 --> 02:17:21,020
you know, the drop down on the web page is empty. Yeah, well, like, that's not a surprise.

1905
02:17:21,020 --> 02:17:24,660
Linus, do you have a guess? What was the year again?

1906
02:17:24,660 --> 02:17:29,700
I think 1314. 1314.

1907
02:17:29,700 --> 02:17:36,300
I'm going to say, yeah, I'm going to say over 10 years.

1908
02:17:36,300 --> 02:17:39,460
480 GTX on Boston. No.

1909
02:17:39,460 --> 02:17:43,180
No. OK, well, it was more similar to the previous year.

1910
02:17:43,180 --> 02:17:46,780
OK, give me a thumbnail. Give me a thumbnail then.

1911
02:17:46,780 --> 02:17:50,100
Oh, boy, it probably says the product name. Oh, no way.

1912
02:17:50,100 --> 02:17:55,260
Really? Yep. It was the Arctic hobby excavator?

1913
02:17:55,260 --> 02:17:58,660
Are you kidding? I didn't even remember there was an excavator.

1914
02:17:58,660 --> 02:18:02,300
Remember when I said all of them earlier? I thought I said all of them. I said the tank.

1915
02:18:02,300 --> 02:18:07,820
I said the boat. I think you missed that one, yeah. I forgot the excavator even existed.

1916
02:18:07,820 --> 02:18:11,620
That's hilarious. Why were you doing, like, toys like this?

1917
02:18:11,620 --> 02:18:15,420
Oh, I explained it earlier, so I'm not going to explain it again right now for the people who will be bored

1918
02:18:15,420 --> 02:18:18,780
by the second explanation. But I barely listened to it.

1919
02:18:18,780 --> 02:18:23,900
Basically, it was a favor to a colleague who brought them in and needed help moving them.

1920
02:18:29,540 --> 02:18:36,740
Oh, shh, dude. I ended up being absolutely stoked on how that turned out.

1921
02:18:36,740 --> 02:18:39,740
Should I be cable managing this real quicker? Did you not?

1922
02:18:39,740 --> 02:18:42,900
I mean, I did. I mean, it's in there. So are you even done?

1923
02:18:42,900 --> 02:18:46,620
The computer turned on. Are you even done? I'll put a couple zip ties before I leave.

1924
02:18:46,620 --> 02:18:51,580
All right, now a moment of truth. Let's see if mine works. You still haven't figured that out yet?

1925
02:18:51,580 --> 02:18:54,820
No, I didn't test yet. Oh, dude, I wasn't going to turn it on with that thing

1926
02:18:54,820 --> 02:18:59,740
sticking in there. You were until you realized. Well, I was until I checked, because I believe in a little

1927
02:18:59,740 --> 02:19:04,620
thing called quality control. As known as he had prior knowledge, insider trading.

1928
02:19:04,620 --> 02:19:08,500
Just saying. Oh, it's not prior knowledge to know that those things can go

1929
02:19:08,500 --> 02:19:11,820
in there. Does my computer still work? Maybe.

1930
02:19:11,820 --> 02:19:15,380
I'm just wondering. Life gang. Hey, look at that.

1931
02:19:15,380 --> 02:19:18,980
It does. That's awesome.

1932
02:19:18,980 --> 02:19:22,100
I can show you what happened to the cable, if you guys would like.

1933
02:19:22,100 --> 02:19:27,060
Those of you who returned into the stream earlier will know that I accidentally knocked my computer off

1934
02:19:27,060 --> 02:19:32,220
of this test cart. And when that happened, it landed on my cable.

1935
02:19:32,220 --> 02:19:36,780
It's a USB-C cable, but it's an INI, not an Audi.

1936
02:19:36,780 --> 02:19:39,820
Here's what used to be in it.

1937
02:19:39,820 --> 02:19:43,660
TMI. There you go. That's a bummer. I liked this cable.

1938
02:19:43,660 --> 02:19:47,020
Sorry, what'd you say? You're good. Hey, nice. I posted. OK.

1939
02:19:47,060 --> 02:19:52,460
So I'm going to move on to my next adventure.

1940
02:19:52,460 --> 02:19:55,500
See you later, Jake. See you. Thanks for playing.

1941
02:19:55,500 --> 02:19:58,580
OK, who's next? Your next adventure is cake break.

1942
02:19:58,580 --> 02:20:02,180
Cake break? Oh. Wait, do we get cake? We get cake.

1943
02:20:02,180 --> 02:20:06,260
Yay. Nice. I haven't left yet. I stayed for the cake.

1944
02:20:06,260 --> 02:20:10,140
Should I have chat? Maybe I can check my mic, if you want.

1945
02:20:10,140 --> 02:20:15,540
How you guys doing? All right, I'm no longer connected to my Wi-Fi,

1946
02:20:15,540 --> 02:20:19,500
so chat is no longer updating. Sick. Hey, Dan.

1947
02:20:19,500 --> 02:20:22,780
Hey, Dan. Yeah. Do you want to hit me with a merge message?

1948
02:20:22,780 --> 02:20:28,020
Yeah, I've got loads here for you. All right. Hey, LDRJ.

1949
02:20:28,020 --> 02:20:31,700
Happy birthday, LTT. What personal achievement throughout LTT's life

1950
02:20:31,700 --> 02:20:35,180
are you most proud of?

1951
02:20:35,180 --> 02:20:45,020
Personal achievement. That's a tough one, right? Because you'd have to go personal achievement.

1952
02:20:45,820 --> 02:20:50,380
So you'd have to go back, I was about to say, you'd have to go back to the very early days

1953
02:20:50,380 --> 02:20:55,140
to find anything that I did completely by myself. Well, I know it's your mic.

1954
02:20:55,140 --> 02:20:58,580
Oh, is it because of this pendant I'm wearing? Yeah, I think so.

1955
02:20:58,580 --> 02:21:01,660
It's protecting us. Is it blocking all the 5G?

1956
02:21:01,660 --> 02:21:06,660
Yeah. OK, in all seriousness, though, is my mic good?

1957
02:21:06,660 --> 02:21:09,940
OK, cool. Might want a better one. So I was going to say, I'd have to go pretty far back

1958
02:21:09,940 --> 02:21:13,540
to find things that I personally achieved completely on my own.

1959
02:21:13,540 --> 02:21:17,140
And then I was thinking, no, even back really far,

1960
02:21:17,140 --> 02:21:22,500
like I always had someone holding a camera for me. I always had some kind of help.

1961
02:21:22,500 --> 02:21:28,020
So I don't know, if I had to pick something,

1962
02:21:28,020 --> 02:21:33,060
I'd say being a real company, where people pay their bills

1963
02:21:33,060 --> 02:21:39,340
and feed their families and have snackies in the kitchen.

1964
02:21:39,340 --> 02:21:42,580
Yeah, we have free snackies. Most of the time, most of the time,

1965
02:21:42,580 --> 02:21:46,980
all the good stuff goes pretty fast. But there's almost always something there

1966
02:21:46,980 --> 02:21:50,140
if you're desperate enough.

1967
02:21:50,140 --> 02:21:56,100
That would be a really interesting data point

1968
02:21:56,100 --> 02:22:05,780
for a snack company to have. They just go into a company and put in 20 of everything

1969
02:22:05,780 --> 02:22:12,980
and then just gauge how fast they all disappear. And that's like the disappearing food taste

1970
02:22:12,980 --> 02:22:17,380
index of quality. That would be a very interesting metric.

1971
02:22:17,380 --> 02:22:23,060
Anyway, am I supposed to open this? All right, we've got a cake break.

1972
02:22:23,060 --> 02:22:26,100
Has anyone partake? Oh, wow.

1973
02:22:26,100 --> 02:22:30,300
That's cute. They are bombs.

1974
02:22:33,740 --> 02:22:36,740
I'm going to go with balloons. All right, yes, good.

1975
02:22:36,740 --> 02:22:43,020
You're upside down. In fairness to me, it was going this way.

1976
02:22:43,020 --> 02:22:44,540
They kind of look like bombs.

1977
02:22:47,780 --> 02:22:51,620
I'm also playing dumb a little bit. OK, so am I supposed to cut the cake?

1978
02:22:51,620 --> 02:22:55,780
Do I just do the first cut? Just do a first cut here. Yeah, OK, I'm not going to just stand here and cut cake

1979
02:22:55,780 --> 02:22:59,100
the whole time. No, no, no. OK. And we've got cakes going to other buildings as well.

1980
02:22:59,100 --> 02:23:03,540
Oh, really? Oh, that's fun. All right, Happy Sweet 16 LTT.

1981
02:23:03,540 --> 02:23:12,700
Let's go. All right, so should I just be awful and do this?

1982
02:23:12,700 --> 02:23:15,200
Whatever you want for your piece, you go nuts. Nice.

1983
02:23:18,180 --> 02:23:24,500
OK, people hate it when I eat on stream, so I might just have one bite for now.

1984
02:23:24,500 --> 02:23:29,460
People get extremely angry when I eat on stream.

1985
02:23:29,460 --> 02:23:33,540
Yeah, yeah, get in here. All right, I'm here.

1986
02:23:33,540 --> 02:23:36,980
You used my knife for your cake.

1987
02:23:36,980 --> 02:23:40,060
What was the cake knife? Mine now. It's a computer knife.

1988
02:23:40,060 --> 02:23:45,380
You can have it. This knife is probably expensive places.

1989
02:23:45,380 --> 02:23:49,620
Well, Beth's watched it. Oh, you did? Yeah. Oh, nice. It's our prop knife.

1990
02:23:49,620 --> 02:23:53,220
It actually lives on the kitchen here. We used to have a little magnetic knife thing,

1991
02:23:53,220 --> 02:23:57,300
but now we don't anymore. OK, I'm going to put this aside for me for now.

1992
02:23:57,300 --> 02:24:00,700
Oh, I'm going to bring my next victim here then. Am I starting my next build?

1993
02:24:00,700 --> 02:24:04,940
Yep. I got to switch your mic pack battery, Linus.

1994
02:24:04,940 --> 02:24:07,980
Can you see what he's doing, Andy? Look what he's doing. Look what he's doing.

1995
02:24:07,980 --> 02:24:11,300
There are worse things I could do. I was going to cut the 16 out of the middle.

1996
02:24:11,300 --> 02:24:15,660
He seriously just cut that. Wow. Damn, I've got one here.

1997
02:24:15,660 --> 02:24:19,380
Yeah, a swab Linus is packed for me. Yep. Please, so we can eat some cake.

1998
02:24:19,380 --> 02:24:22,580
You see the kind of things that I deal with around here? Give me your pack while you eat.

1999
02:24:22,580 --> 02:24:25,620
Totally reasonable. What is the problem?

2000
02:24:25,620 --> 02:24:30,060
One person's going to get a little angled piece. That's fine.

2001
02:24:30,060 --> 02:24:33,540
Listen, you have lost your knife for this, so just relax.

2002
02:24:33,540 --> 02:24:35,340
Are you trying to do the chocolate magic trick?

2003
02:24:38,340 --> 02:24:42,340
Yes. Dude, this isn't.

2004
02:24:42,340 --> 02:24:47,060
We're not doing this here. I am, right now, actively, see?

2005
02:24:47,060 --> 02:24:50,140
And lovely.

2006
02:24:50,140 --> 02:24:53,060
See you later. All right, see you later, Andy. Hi, second, Andy.

2007
02:24:56,060 --> 02:24:59,100
It's over there.

2008
02:24:59,100 --> 02:25:03,980
Does someone want to take an end of this so that we can get the computer builds going again?

2009
02:25:03,980 --> 02:25:07,140
Oh, my goodness.

2010
02:25:07,140 --> 02:25:11,780
This is dangerous. Yeah, the knife is just kind of hanging off of it.

2011
02:25:11,780 --> 02:25:15,140
Oh! Let's put that out here. Yeah, yeah, we'll take it out there.

2012
02:25:15,140 --> 02:25:18,500
We'll take it out there. Take it outside. Will other people have cake?

2013
02:25:18,500 --> 02:25:21,940
Yeah. Let them eat cake. OK, Marie.

2014
02:25:22,140 --> 02:25:22,640
OK.

2015
02:25:28,260 --> 02:25:31,860
Sure. You can follow him for a second if you want. Let's go talk to Andy.

2016
02:25:31,860 --> 02:25:36,740
See you later, Andy. See what he ends up doing? There you go, they're back.

2017
02:25:36,740 --> 02:25:41,020
All right, cool. Oh, man.

2018
02:25:41,020 --> 02:25:44,100
Wow, this has been quite the stream today.

2019
02:25:44,100 --> 02:25:47,580
Oh, look. We're going to get another competently built PC.

2020
02:25:47,580 --> 02:25:51,100
It's John from the lab. Thank goodness.

2021
02:25:51,100 --> 02:25:55,980
Our first three in a row. Our first three guest builders didn't put the I.O.

2022
02:25:55,980 --> 02:25:59,100
shield on. And then our fourth guest builder put the I.O.

2023
02:25:59,100 --> 02:26:03,420
shield on, but had the tab sticking into the DisplayPort port.

2024
02:26:03,420 --> 02:26:08,300
The part that I left off is that I also did that on the fourth build. But I didn't do it on any of the three prior.

2025
02:26:08,300 --> 02:26:12,900
So I'm still giving myself a 75% passing grade here

2026
02:26:12,900 --> 02:26:15,940
for building PCs. That's fair. All right.

2027
02:26:15,940 --> 02:26:21,420
So clock's running. We've got half an hour. I think you can.

2028
02:26:21,420 --> 02:26:25,420
John, do you think you can build a computer in half an hour? Absolutely not.

2029
02:26:25,420 --> 02:26:29,860
Yeah, for sure. But you asked him to build a test bench.

2030
02:26:29,860 --> 02:26:33,580
Oh. He just slaps them in there.

2031
02:26:33,580 --> 02:26:37,780
You wouldn't believe the way this man builds test benches. But you show him a case.

2032
02:26:37,780 --> 02:26:40,980
Cases don't exist. He gets confused.

2033
02:26:40,980 --> 02:26:45,780
He's all like, mama. He just doesn't get.

2034
02:26:45,780 --> 02:26:52,340
I'm making a lot of this up, obviously. So you haven't been on camera that much.

2035
02:26:52,340 --> 02:26:57,260
Tell us something about John that the audience is unlikely to know.

2036
02:26:57,260 --> 02:27:02,580
I did archery competitively for 13 years.

2037
02:27:02,580 --> 02:27:08,340
OK. I also did not know that. So is that like, do you bring that up

2038
02:27:08,340 --> 02:27:14,900
because it's like a threat? Or how fast can you run like this? Only if you make it that way.

2039
02:27:14,900 --> 02:27:18,380
Got it. Excellent. Why?

2040
02:27:18,380 --> 02:27:25,700
I know not that that's a weird thing to do. I'm just wondering why archery.

2041
02:27:25,700 --> 02:27:30,580
Started as when we were on vacation in Mexico one year.

2042
02:27:33,580 --> 02:27:38,740
We saw, oh, there's archery. So we went there. They totally had the bow string wrong and everything.

2043
02:27:38,740 --> 02:27:44,220
So it was a bad time. And then for my birthday the next year,

2044
02:27:44,260 --> 02:27:47,540
my parents actually took me to an archery club.

2045
02:27:47,540 --> 02:27:50,660
And then since then I was enamored by it.

2046
02:27:50,660 --> 02:27:55,540
You were just hooked. Yeah. Yeah, and then nowadays if it shoots,

2047
02:27:55,540 --> 02:28:00,660
I probably have shot it. That's cool. You know, it's funny because even though I was teasing you

2048
02:28:00,660 --> 02:28:04,900
a little bit, why archery? That was like my favorite thing at summer camp.

2049
02:28:04,900 --> 02:28:10,060
That was my favorite station. And we had this little sporting goods store.

2050
02:28:10,060 --> 02:28:16,060
And the only reason that I'm thinking of it right now is because we had lunch across the street from it

2051
02:28:16,060 --> 02:28:19,660
last weekend with the family. And I was like, oh my god, I don't remember what

2052
02:28:19,660 --> 02:28:23,100
it's called anymore. But there's this little sporting goods store in Ladner

2053
02:28:23,100 --> 02:28:29,180
where I used to love going in there because they had all kinds of cool bows and cool arrows.

2054
02:28:29,180 --> 02:28:38,660
And I was a kid and I didn't understand what the heck any of it was. But I always found the bow more interesting than the gun.

2055
02:28:38,660 --> 02:28:40,940
And I couldn't tell you why.

2056
02:28:41,900 --> 02:28:46,980
They weren't elegant. I just loved the, I loved drawing it back.

2057
02:28:46,980 --> 02:28:50,380
Now, the thing that everyone's going to need to know here

2058
02:28:50,380 --> 02:28:53,860
is what's your archery style?

2059
02:28:53,860 --> 02:28:58,500
What do you mean? Do you get all the glasses and everything? Or do you have one hand in the pocket?

2060
02:28:58,500 --> 02:29:04,180
That would be pretty dope. I mean, it would be pretty hard with a bow.

2061
02:29:04,180 --> 02:29:08,580
You could do it. You just set up a rig? Yeah.

2062
02:29:08,580 --> 02:29:12,020
So do you have the cool glasses and stuff? Or are you just like it?

2063
02:29:12,020 --> 02:29:17,100
No. I had a pretty good competition bow, though. It was an actual shoot through one instead of having.

2064
02:29:17,100 --> 02:29:20,140
It was a compound bow. And typically.

2065
02:29:20,140 --> 02:29:23,340
So you don't knock it on the side. It goes through the thing? Yeah.

2066
02:29:23,340 --> 02:29:28,500
So what about the feathers, though? So the way that it has a drop rest,

2067
02:29:28,500 --> 02:29:32,020
most competition bows for compounds have drop rest.

2068
02:29:32,020 --> 02:29:36,780
Drop rest, yeah. You're going to have to give me a little more detail on what a drop rest is.

2069
02:29:36,820 --> 02:29:41,580
So normally, an arrow rests on a rest of some sort that's

2070
02:29:41,580 --> 02:29:45,660
not directly on the bow. Sure. Because if it didn't rest on a rest, what would it rest on?

2071
02:29:45,660 --> 02:29:48,660
Yeah, exactly. Don't settle for the rest.

2072
02:29:48,660 --> 02:29:53,700
Settle for the best rest. Sorry.

2073
02:29:53,700 --> 02:29:56,940
OK. So normally, you've got to have some kind of rest.

2074
02:29:56,940 --> 02:30:01,460
Yeah. So this one, the way it works is it would attach to the actual compound strings.

2075
02:30:01,460 --> 02:30:04,620
And as you draw back, it lifts up.

2076
02:30:04,660 --> 02:30:09,460
And then when you release it, it would actually drop the rest down so that the arrow is not actually touching

2077
02:30:09,460 --> 02:30:12,660
anything as it's flying. What? Yeah.

2078
02:30:12,660 --> 02:30:15,660
But then wouldn't it like go down? No.

2079
02:30:15,660 --> 02:30:19,140
Because the arrow is already mid-flight.

2080
02:30:19,140 --> 02:30:23,300
Huh. OK. Sure.

2081
02:30:23,300 --> 02:30:26,700
And that's good. Yeah.

2082
02:30:26,700 --> 02:30:31,180
Because then you don't have anything potentially influencing the flight path.

2083
02:30:31,220 --> 02:30:31,940
I see.

2084
02:30:35,380 --> 02:30:39,340
Oh, OK. I'm having a very hard time wrapping my brain around why,

2085
02:30:39,340 --> 02:30:42,860
how it would not kind of start to go down a little bit.

2086
02:30:42,860 --> 02:30:49,380
But I will take your word for it, because I know far less about archery than you do.

2087
02:30:49,380 --> 02:30:51,700
So when did you stop competing?

2088
02:30:55,780 --> 02:30:59,980
You're with that a day and I think it was 22?

2089
02:30:59,980 --> 02:31:04,380
Oh, OK. So like quite recently then.

2090
02:31:04,380 --> 02:31:08,580
I wish I was that young still. Oh, 22 years old.

2091
02:31:08,580 --> 02:31:11,660
Yeah, yeah. I thought you meant 2022.

2092
02:31:11,660 --> 02:31:16,780
All right, never mind. OK, fair enough. Hey, it's blue on 1700, right?

2093
02:31:16,780 --> 02:31:20,100
I think so. I think so too. We're both going with I think so.

2094
02:31:20,100 --> 02:31:26,620
So this is either going to go 100% great for both of us or epic fail for both of us.

2095
02:31:26,620 --> 02:31:30,660
See how it goes. Pretty sure it's blue.

2096
02:31:30,660 --> 02:31:34,540
Pretty sure it's blue. There are color-coded standoffs

2097
02:31:34,540 --> 02:31:38,260
for our AT&T Pistons Clues. I don't. You don't have a booklet?

2098
02:31:38,260 --> 02:31:42,380
No, I don't have one in mind. I must have thrown it out. I'm pretty darn sure it's blue.

2099
02:31:42,380 --> 02:31:49,260
Yeah, it is. All right, Jordan, you've got some stuff for us. So oh, we want to thank the folks who provided the hardware

2100
02:31:49,260 --> 02:31:54,180
real quick here. Intel sent over eight CPUs for our builds.

2101
02:31:54,180 --> 02:31:58,020
Actually, now is as good a time as any to have a look at what we're using. Oh, these are great.

2102
02:31:58,020 --> 02:32:02,380
We've got Core i7-14700KF processors.

2103
02:32:02,380 --> 02:32:06,100
We're not going to need the onboard graphics because we're going to have GPUs for our builds.

2104
02:32:06,100 --> 02:32:09,620
And this gives us like 20 cores or something stupid like that.

2105
02:32:09,620 --> 02:32:15,540
Hopefully, the BIOS is up to do on these. A lot of flipping on the packaging.

2106
02:32:15,540 --> 02:32:20,340
The packaging on. Oh, no, they still do. Can you remember how many cores a 14700K has?

2107
02:32:20,340 --> 02:32:25,940
Oh, god, don't. Yeah, John. The product lineups have gotten so complicated.

2108
02:32:25,980 --> 02:32:30,260
And there's a barcode over top of my sticker.

2109
02:32:30,260 --> 02:32:33,460
They used to say how many cores they have on them. They don't anymore.

2110
02:32:33,460 --> 02:32:38,940
That's weird. Dan, help me. Is it 20 cores on a 14700KF?

2111
02:32:38,940 --> 02:32:41,940
Oh, chat. Chat's there for me.

2112
02:32:41,940 --> 02:32:45,620
Yeah, I think it's 1420.

2113
02:32:45,620 --> 02:32:49,780
Chat says no. All right, how many cores is it? Hit me, chat.

2114
02:32:49,780 --> 02:32:53,300
Hit me, chat. It's on the prompter. Oh, nice.

2115
02:32:53,300 --> 02:32:59,340
Hey, that'll help. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. It's totally 14 of those.

2116
02:32:59,340 --> 02:33:02,540
Mm, Intel builds.

2117
02:33:02,540 --> 02:33:06,980
Hey, there we go. 20 cores. 20 cores, 28 threads.

2118
02:33:06,980 --> 02:33:10,020
That's the one. That's what I said, right? Did I say 20? Totally.

2119
02:33:10,020 --> 02:33:12,020
Yes. All right, sick.

2120
02:33:14,900 --> 02:33:19,700
What are these things turbo to? Do I have that too? Look at that. They turbo up to 5.6 gigahertz.

2121
02:33:19,700 --> 02:33:23,940
Got all the little specs. So anyway, Intel sent these over so that when

2122
02:33:23,940 --> 02:33:29,740
we are selling these on java.gg, the entire value of the CPU can go to charity.

2123
02:33:29,740 --> 02:33:32,740
So it's going to be going to one of our local food banks,

2124
02:33:32,740 --> 02:33:35,980
which is a pretty important thing to contribute to this time

2125
02:33:35,980 --> 02:33:40,220
of year. All right, Jordan, hit me with a challenge,

2126
02:33:40,220 --> 02:33:43,100
or you can throw it down for a merge message, or whatever you'd like.

2127
02:33:46,780 --> 02:33:51,780
Ooh, a price challenge. This is such an organized stream.

2128
02:33:51,780 --> 02:33:55,180
We're celebrating 16 years of streaming challenges.

2129
02:33:55,180 --> 02:33:59,860
All right, I'm good. You think we would have figured it out by now?

2130
02:33:59,860 --> 02:34:03,540
No, maybe after 32.

2131
02:34:03,540 --> 02:34:08,260
So let's do a pricing challenge. OK. What was the price of that firestruck?

2132
02:34:10,780 --> 02:34:15,220
They weren't cheap. I remember them being, you know,

2133
02:34:15,260 --> 02:34:18,340
not completely ridiculous, unreasonable,

2134
02:34:18,340 --> 02:34:23,140
but certainly not cheap. RC.

2135
02:34:23,140 --> 02:34:26,140
Wasn't it like $1,200 or something like that?

2136
02:34:26,140 --> 02:34:30,140
No. No way. Well, that would have been way back in the day.

2137
02:34:30,140 --> 02:34:34,140
I'm going to say that the RC firetruck was 2012.

2138
02:34:34,140 --> 02:34:40,140
In 2012, I'm going to say it was $330.

2139
02:34:40,140 --> 02:34:46,060
That's some of the good guess. You're high. How dare you, 270?

2140
02:34:46,060 --> 02:34:49,060
The price I found on an archive page from NCIX

2141
02:34:49,060 --> 02:34:52,060
was $99 Canadian. Wow.

2142
02:34:52,060 --> 02:34:56,060
No, that was fun promo. That was like on clearance to get rid of them, for sure.

2143
02:34:56,060 --> 02:34:59,060
All right. I promise you. All right.

2144
02:34:59,060 --> 02:35:03,060
I promise you. I believe you. Now, our videos weren't sophisticated enough back then

2145
02:35:03,060 --> 02:35:06,060
to have so much as a, like, print screen,

2146
02:35:06,060 --> 02:35:10,980
screenshot of the product page. So we're not going to be able to go back

2147
02:35:10,980 --> 02:35:13,980
and look at what it cost when it was first launched.

2148
02:35:13,980 --> 02:35:16,980
But there's no way that it was $99.

2149
02:35:16,980 --> 02:35:20,980
That would have been a sick value for $100. It was actually interesting going back

2150
02:35:20,980 --> 02:35:23,980
because I found a video of you talking about why we will never

2151
02:35:23,980 --> 02:35:26,980
talk about prices in our videos. Oh, really?

2152
02:35:26,980 --> 02:35:29,980
Yeah. Because you wanted them to be evergreen.

2153
02:35:29,980 --> 02:35:32,980
Yes. We gave up on that at a certain point.

2154
02:35:32,980 --> 02:35:35,980
Yes. It turns out that when you review a product,

2155
02:35:36,900 --> 02:35:39,900
people, for the most part, want you to talk about the value of it.

2156
02:35:39,900 --> 02:35:42,900
And we particularly ran into trouble with that

2157
02:35:42,900 --> 02:35:45,900
during the great GPU pricening

2158
02:35:46,900 --> 02:35:50,900
during the COVID lockdowns and the crypto mining boom

2159
02:35:50,900 --> 02:35:55,900
because we tried to kind of... This was before your time, John.

2160
02:35:55,900 --> 02:35:58,900
But we tried to kind of review a GPU

2161
02:35:58,900 --> 02:36:01,900
in the context of, like,

2162
02:36:01,900 --> 02:36:07,820
how it fit into the right way of, like, how it fit into the rest of the lineup

2163
02:36:07,820 --> 02:36:12,820
and its relative pricing against what relatively speaking existed

2164
02:36:12,820 --> 02:36:16,820
rather than kind of get into that everything's a terrible value

2165
02:36:16,820 --> 02:36:20,820
and absolutely nothing makes any sense and everything is horrible.

2166
02:36:20,820 --> 02:36:23,820
You're talking about the landscape today is just perfect.

2167
02:36:23,820 --> 02:36:27,820
Well... It's funny because people talk far less

2168
02:36:27,820 --> 02:36:31,820
about how bad it is right now. It's because it's normalized.

2169
02:36:31,820 --> 02:36:36,740
But it's not that much better. As far as I can tell,

2170
02:36:36,740 --> 02:36:40,740
the GPU manufacturers, I mean, especially NVIDIA,

2171
02:36:40,740 --> 02:36:44,740
because being the market leader, they kind of set the curve.

2172
02:36:44,740 --> 02:36:48,740
They basically saw, hmm, so they'll pay that much.

2173
02:36:48,740 --> 02:36:52,740
And we're like, okay, well, we have effectively

2174
02:36:52,740 --> 02:36:56,740
a semi-monopoly in this space,

2175
02:36:56,740 --> 02:37:00,740
in this discrete gaming GPU space. Well, I guess these are already installed.

2176
02:37:00,740 --> 02:37:04,740
Yes, they're already installed. They don't have a relative whatsoever

2177
02:37:04,740 --> 02:37:08,740
to ever adjust pricing back down. So things did come down a little.

2178
02:37:08,740 --> 02:37:12,740
But we are nowhere near. And you don't have to go back that far.

2179
02:37:12,740 --> 02:37:16,740
We are nowhere near what, you know, the reasonable pricing

2180
02:37:16,740 --> 02:37:20,740
we saw for 30 series was. It's kind of wild, actually.

2181
02:37:20,740 --> 02:37:24,740
How we've all just kind of gone, okay,

2182
02:37:24,740 --> 02:37:28,740
well, I guess that's what GPU costs now.

2183
02:37:28,740 --> 02:37:32,740
Yeah. Not a fan, to be honest with you.

2184
02:37:32,740 --> 02:37:36,740
Yeah, like gaming, well, gaming still is accessible.

2185
02:37:36,740 --> 02:37:40,740
I mean, part of that is thanks to IGPUs.

2186
02:37:40,740 --> 02:37:44,740
Thanks to companies like our sponsor, Jawa.gg, who makes it easy

2187
02:37:44,740 --> 02:37:48,740
to buy second-hand GPUs. But

2188
02:37:48,740 --> 02:37:52,740
brand new GPUs, like brand new current-gen GPUs are

2189
02:37:52,740 --> 02:37:56,740
really, really expensive these days. All right, Dan, do you want to hit me with merge message?

2190
02:37:56,740 --> 02:38:00,740
Yeah, sure. I've got a bunch here I want to do a couple. Sure.

2191
02:38:00,740 --> 02:38:04,740
Hey Linus, finally getting my hands on the screwdriver. What will be

2192
02:38:04,740 --> 02:38:08,740
the next episode of Wacky Water Cooling Solutions with Alex and Linus?

2193
02:38:08,740 --> 02:38:12,740
Truly my favorite series on the channel. Ooh, Wacky Water Cooling

2194
02:38:12,740 --> 02:38:14,740
with Alex and Linus. What do we have planned?

2195
02:38:16,740 --> 02:38:20,740
I know that we want to do something in the office,

2196
02:38:20,740 --> 02:38:24,740
like some kind of some kind of whole room water cooling of some sort,

2197
02:38:24,740 --> 02:38:28,740
but I've kind of talked about this on Wandshow.

2198
02:38:28,740 --> 02:38:32,740
Our office situation here may

2199
02:38:32,740 --> 02:38:36,740
change at some point, and so I don't think we're looking to do anything

2200
02:38:36,740 --> 02:38:40,740
big to this building right now.

2201
02:38:40,740 --> 02:38:44,740
That depends, because we may just not be able to find anything.

2202
02:38:44,740 --> 02:38:48,740
Not matter. No, it's built-in. Oh yeah, that's right. No, it was only the...

2203
02:38:48,740 --> 02:38:52,740
Yeah, okay, that's funny. Look, I'm like what?

2204
02:38:52,740 --> 02:38:56,740
I mentioned to him when we started. Yeah, hey, three people who had afford

2205
02:38:56,740 --> 02:39:00,740
didn't manage to put in a diode shield. Yeah, we're using a different board now.

2206
02:39:00,740 --> 02:39:04,740
We're on our Intel platforms now, and they have an integrated diode shield.

2207
02:39:04,740 --> 02:39:08,740
There you go, so everything's fine. Anyway, Wacky Water Cooling Solutions,

2208
02:39:10,740 --> 02:39:14,740
I want to get one of those water-cooled air conditioners.

2209
02:39:16,740 --> 02:39:20,740
And yeah, but that might be a Linus and Jake thing, because that'll probably be

2210
02:39:20,740 --> 02:39:24,740
for the server room at my house, so that we can finally have it not be stupid.

2211
02:39:24,740 --> 02:39:28,740
I had a leak this weekend. Actually, I might have

2212
02:39:28,740 --> 02:39:32,740
a picture of what happened on my phone. Ugh, here, let me see

2213
02:39:32,740 --> 02:39:36,740
if I have a picture. It was not good though, and this

2214
02:39:36,740 --> 02:39:40,740
jerk, I messaged him on the weekend.

2215
02:39:40,740 --> 02:39:44,740
I'm like, yeah, that thing that you helped me build is

2216
02:39:44,740 --> 02:39:48,740
leaking all over the place. I was helpful.

2217
02:39:48,740 --> 02:39:52,740
And you were like, lol. Well, it was funny.

2218
02:39:52,740 --> 02:39:56,740
You were like holding it with your finger. It was ridiculous.

2219
02:39:56,740 --> 02:40:00,740
Okay, John, I send him this, and his response is

2220
02:40:00,740 --> 02:40:04,740
lol, because Just put a bucket under it.

2221
02:40:04,740 --> 02:40:08,740
No, because it would drain the whole loop. So?

2222
02:40:08,740 --> 02:40:12,740
So the fitting on there just snapped off. No, no, no, no. You snapped it off.

2223
02:40:12,740 --> 02:40:16,740
No, I didn't. Dude, it did not just explode itself.

2224
02:40:16,740 --> 02:40:20,740
No, it did. Jake, I showed your stepdad what happened

2225
02:40:20,740 --> 02:40:24,740
to it. So, if you look at it, if you look at it, because it's a clear

2226
02:40:24,740 --> 02:40:28,740
plastic, it's like a polycarb or something, probably not polycarb, but it's some kind of

2227
02:40:28,740 --> 02:40:32,740
clear plastic. And if you look at it, most of the,

2228
02:40:32,740 --> 02:40:36,740
most of where it's severed is shiny. Like a

2229
02:40:36,740 --> 02:40:40,740
crack, like a sudden break. And then there's like 20% of it

2230
02:40:40,740 --> 02:40:44,740
where it sheared off. Where I went to tighten it, because I thought

2231
02:40:44,740 --> 02:40:48,740
it was just loose, because it was like with spewing water. So I went to

2232
02:40:48,740 --> 02:40:52,740
tighten it, and the whole thing just immediately came off. I barely touched it.

2233
02:40:52,740 --> 02:40:56,740
So you know, you know how I was saying it was straight before? I found a photo of when

2234
02:40:56,740 --> 02:41:00,740
we installed it, and the valve was straight. So I think something like fell off that

2235
02:41:00,740 --> 02:41:04,740
table or got knocked off and hit it, and that's why it was leaking, but anyways.

2236
02:41:04,740 --> 02:41:08,740
Can I give you just say a sentence on stream that's going to make no sense to the stream, but you need

2237
02:41:08,740 --> 02:41:12,740
for something else? It's very quick. I guess. Is this an audio pickup for a video?

2238
02:41:12,740 --> 02:41:16,740
It is, yes. That's how I add screen recording to the live stream.

2239
02:41:16,740 --> 02:41:20,740
Seriously? Okay, that's going to be trash quality.

2240
02:41:20,740 --> 02:41:24,740
Okay. So with that said,

2241
02:41:24,740 --> 02:41:28,740
so with that said, until the end of the day, December 2nd.

2242
02:41:28,740 --> 02:41:32,740
That's all you need? Sure. Update for your Linux.

2243
02:41:32,740 --> 02:41:36,740
That's how we do it? I know what video that's for.

2244
02:41:36,740 --> 02:41:40,740
I know what video that's for. We are finally announcing

2245
02:41:40,740 --> 02:41:44,740
the product that the NAS software

2246
02:41:44,740 --> 02:41:48,740
that I made my second Hey, this really needs to exist, and I guess

2247
02:41:48,740 --> 02:41:52,740
if I don't fund it, nobody else will. My second tech investment

2248
02:41:52,740 --> 02:41:56,740
into a NAS software and there's going to be some kind of special

2249
02:41:56,740 --> 02:42:00,740
offer that is only available for a limited time. I guess that's the new

2250
02:42:00,740 --> 02:42:04,740
time window for it. Very cool. Very, very, very

2251
02:42:04,740 --> 02:42:08,740
very cool. I have a sales update for you. Oh, sales update.

2252
02:42:08,740 --> 02:42:12,740
We are sold out. We're sold out of what? Out of our Java computers.

2253
02:42:12,740 --> 02:42:16,740
Wait, all these computers are gone? Yep. Oh. You better get them done. Does that mean

2254
02:42:16,740 --> 02:42:20,740
we can end the stream and go home? They're all built. Yeah, we can just leave. I mean, if we've already

2255
02:42:20,740 --> 02:42:24,740
got the money, what does it matter, right? Thanks because I became a camera person.

2256
02:42:24,740 --> 02:42:28,740
You became a camera person? Oh, we sold out all of them? Yeah.

2257
02:42:28,740 --> 02:42:32,740
He's that powerful. Yeah, that's the power of John.

2258
02:42:32,740 --> 02:42:36,740
That's why we don't let him go on camera because the entire industry is going to be

2259
02:42:36,740 --> 02:42:40,740
in shortage. Look at that mug. I want to buy a computer.

2260
02:42:42,740 --> 02:42:46,740
Oh, that's fantastic. Thank you guys so much. So that means

2261
02:42:46,740 --> 02:42:50,740
that we are contributing like, what does it work out to?

2262
02:42:50,740 --> 02:42:54,740
Like, about 20 grand? It'll depend on shipping, but yeah, it'll work out to about

2263
02:42:54,740 --> 02:42:58,740
22,000, 23,000, probably US to local food banks.

2264
02:42:58,740 --> 02:43:02,740
That's awesome. Thank you so much, you guys. Super cool. Every time

2265
02:43:02,740 --> 02:43:06,740
we do stuff like this, I'm like, oh, we should do this kind of stuff more often. But it's a ton of work.

2266
02:43:06,740 --> 02:43:10,740
It's like actually a ton of work setting up for streams like this. So we're still going to

2267
02:43:10,740 --> 02:43:14,740
do it. We're going to do them. We're going to do them as often as we can make

2268
02:43:14,740 --> 02:43:18,740
it make sense. But yeah, that's why they don't happen just like every week or whatever.

2269
02:43:18,740 --> 02:43:22,740
Oh, wow. To go back and do this one again, I think

2270
02:43:22,740 --> 02:43:26,740
I might put the cooler in after the fact because

2271
02:43:26,740 --> 02:43:30,740
this is not as roomy a case as the first one we were working in.

2272
02:43:30,740 --> 02:43:34,740
It's definitely nice that it's really compact, but it is not

2273
02:43:34,740 --> 02:43:38,740
the roomiest. I also may have found one other small challenge.

2274
02:43:38,740 --> 02:43:42,740
Mine are bigger. Well, I mean, I

2275
02:43:42,740 --> 02:43:46,740
can work in it. Yes, that is my superpower. But it's

2276
02:43:46,740 --> 02:43:50,740
a little trickier to work in. Also, I may have noticed one small problem

2277
02:43:50,740 --> 02:43:54,740
because we're using higher profile memory. Yeah, I was concerned

2278
02:43:54,740 --> 02:43:58,740
about that too. I think this fan is not going to be

2279
02:43:58,740 --> 02:44:02,740
inside the computer. We might be able to put it on

2280
02:44:02,740 --> 02:44:06,740
the reverse side. I think we can get away with the one fan

2281
02:44:06,740 --> 02:44:10,740
on the NHD-15 on this thing. This is only a 14700.

2282
02:44:10,740 --> 02:44:14,740
I Okay, hold on.

2283
02:44:14,740 --> 02:44:18,740
You know what we could do is we could just pull from our inventory

2284
02:44:18,740 --> 02:44:22,740
and get some 120 mil fans for the secondary. And then we could put 120s on there.

2285
02:44:22,740 --> 02:44:26,740
That's what we did in the Keras machine. Okay. Yeah, let's do that.

2286
02:44:26,740 --> 02:44:30,740
So maybe, Jordan, can you just make a note that we're just going to, for the Intel machines

2287
02:44:30,740 --> 02:44:34,740
to replace that 140 millimeter fan with a 120? All right. Okay, that should be fine.

2288
02:44:34,740 --> 02:44:38,740
Have we shown it out to our contributors for this? Oh, no, I haven't.

2289
02:44:38,740 --> 02:44:42,740
ASUS sent over eight mother boards

2290
02:44:42,740 --> 02:44:46,740
and two GPUs. So the Z790 plus Wi-Fi

2291
02:44:46,740 --> 02:44:50,740
boards that we're using here were provided by ASUS. And then I guess we've got

2292
02:44:50,740 --> 02:44:54,740
a couple of GPUs that we're going to be checking out later. And because all of our hardware

2293
02:44:54,740 --> 02:44:58,740
partners who provided stuff for the stream today were so generous, it means that

2294
02:44:58,740 --> 02:45:02,740
pretty much the entire retail value of these machines

2295
02:45:02,740 --> 02:45:06,740
that people are paying is going to be going to the food bank.

2296
02:45:06,740 --> 02:45:10,740
So that's super exciting. We set out to do this with the goal

2297
02:45:10,740 --> 02:45:14,740
of contributing all of the profits for the builds and it turned out that

2298
02:45:14,740 --> 02:45:18,740
once everyone found out what we were doing, they were just like, oh, well here's all the hardware.

2299
02:45:18,740 --> 02:45:22,740
So then it's pure profit. So it's pure donation.

2300
02:45:22,740 --> 02:45:26,740
This is pretty cool. And 16 people are going to get

2301
02:45:26,740 --> 02:45:30,740
sick deal on a computer. I can't believe how fast these sold.

2302
02:45:30,740 --> 02:45:34,740
Now can you imagine if we were a retailer just like building computers

2303
02:45:34,740 --> 02:45:38,740
and selling them all day? We could probably make a pretty good business out of that. I should go full circle.

2304
02:45:38,740 --> 02:45:42,740
We should just be becoming peace.

2305
02:45:42,740 --> 02:45:46,740
Linus build tips. LCIX.com

2306
02:45:50,740 --> 02:45:54,740
I think it was... You don't have to change one letter on your sign in your office.

2307
02:45:54,740 --> 02:45:58,740
And then it's no problem. That would really save a lot of money

2308
02:45:58,740 --> 02:46:02,740
in the long run. Oh, I'm changing that sign in my office.

2309
02:46:02,740 --> 02:46:06,740
You know, I have actually tried to buy LCIX.com several times.

2310
02:46:06,740 --> 02:46:10,740
I make about a yearly offer every year or so.

2311
02:46:10,740 --> 02:46:14,740
I reach out and I make another offer. But I think that there's a bit of a disconnect

2312
02:46:14,740 --> 02:46:18,740
between me and the current owner on the value of it.

2313
02:46:18,740 --> 02:46:22,740
So until we can bridge that gulf

2314
02:46:22,740 --> 02:46:26,740
I don't think it's going to happen. But the thing is I can be patient

2315
02:46:26,740 --> 02:46:30,740
and I don't think anyone else is lined up to buy it.

2316
02:46:30,740 --> 02:46:34,740
So time's on my side. Yeah, hit me, Dan.

2317
02:46:34,740 --> 02:46:38,740
Hey everyone, I have a question. With my area having no services

2318
02:46:38,740 --> 02:46:42,740
to build or repair PCs and a lack of ways for people

2319
02:46:42,740 --> 02:46:46,740
to get good support for their techniques, any tips on starting

2320
02:46:46,740 --> 02:46:50,740
to provide that myself? I think that if we learn to

2321
02:46:50,740 --> 02:46:54,740
anything from that Facebook

2322
02:46:54,740 --> 02:46:58,740
PC video a little while ago where we hired random people on Facebook

2323
02:46:58,740 --> 02:47:02,740
to build PCs for us, I think what we learned from that

2324
02:47:02,740 --> 02:47:06,740
is that there is a shockingly active marketplace of both buyers

2325
02:47:06,740 --> 02:47:10,740
and sellers for tech goods and services on these kinds

2326
02:47:10,740 --> 02:47:14,740
of marketplaces. And if you were going to set up

2327
02:47:14,740 --> 02:47:18,740
something like that and pursue a business like that for yourself, the best

2328
02:47:18,740 --> 02:47:22,740
thing to do would be to keep your overhead extremely low, market yourself

2329
02:47:22,740 --> 02:47:26,740
on social platforms, take it slow, build up a

2330
02:47:26,740 --> 02:47:30,740
client base, build up referrals. Small businesses never,

2331
02:47:30,740 --> 02:47:34,740
never underestimate the importance of referrals as a small business

2332
02:47:34,740 --> 02:47:38,740
and don't quit your day job immediately. The cool thing about

2333
02:47:38,740 --> 02:47:42,740
tech support and tech jobs is most people don't

2334
02:47:42,740 --> 02:47:46,740
expect service while you wait for

2335
02:47:46,740 --> 02:47:50,740
service removal or reformatting a system or anything like that.

2336
02:47:50,740 --> 02:47:54,740
So just make sure you don't bite off more than you can chew, get referrals, and I don't see

2337
02:47:54,740 --> 02:47:58,740
any reason why you couldn't build something like that up.

2338
02:47:58,740 --> 02:48:02,740
I think that it's, I mean I did make money when I was younger

2339
02:48:02,740 --> 02:48:06,740
building machines for people. I think it's probably a little more

2340
02:48:06,740 --> 02:48:10,740
challenging these days. There's really not a lot of margin in the

2341
02:48:10,740 --> 02:48:14,740
just like piece together parts and build a PC

2342
02:48:14,740 --> 02:48:18,740
business, but there's also ways that you can be creative and help stretch

2343
02:48:18,740 --> 02:48:22,740
a dollar for your clients. We ran into

2344
02:48:22,740 --> 02:48:26,740
our builder codename, The Professional

2345
02:48:26,740 --> 02:48:30,740
who had some interesting corners that they cut. They were very up front

2346
02:48:30,740 --> 02:48:34,740
with us about it, but using like an engineering sample

2347
02:48:34,740 --> 02:48:38,740
CPU, I wasn't a fan of the power supply they used, but using an engineering

2348
02:48:38,740 --> 02:48:42,740
sample CPU and some other creative techniques, they managed to

2349
02:48:42,740 --> 02:48:46,740
put together a very performant PC for the price.

2350
02:48:46,740 --> 02:48:50,740
And the only way that one of the other builders was able to compete with it was that they

2351
02:48:50,740 --> 02:48:54,740
literally were doing it for fun and were not making any money on it.

2352
02:48:54,740 --> 02:48:58,740
So I believe The Professional did end up outperforming the other person

2353
02:48:58,740 --> 02:49:02,740
who was doing it as a side hustle and was trying to actually make money at it.

2354
02:49:02,740 --> 02:49:06,740
So if you're creative, if you find

2355
02:49:06,740 --> 02:49:10,740
good deals, there's

2356
02:49:10,740 --> 02:49:14,740
a lot of good that can be done, helping people get a bargain.

2357
02:49:14,740 --> 02:49:18,740
I came across a Reddit post, I think it was last week, where an elderly

2358
02:49:18,740 --> 02:49:22,740
relative accidentally bought like a 12 year old

2359
02:49:22,740 --> 02:49:26,740
computer for way too much money, way more than it was worth.

2360
02:49:26,740 --> 02:49:30,740
I hate it when stuff like that happens. I hate it when stuff like that happens

2361
02:49:30,740 --> 02:49:34,740
and I hate how preventable it is because I've been saying for years

2362
02:49:34,740 --> 02:49:38,740
that that's a big problem that I have with this like

2363
02:49:38,740 --> 02:49:42,740
i7 branding. Let's move away from any kind of

2364
02:49:42,740 --> 02:49:44,740
meaningful specs. Don't worry, we're ultra now.

2365
02:49:46,740 --> 02:49:50,740
I think it's just going to get more and more confusing as time goes on.

2366
02:49:50,740 --> 02:49:54,740
And so what I was going to say was, I think there's a lot

2367
02:49:54,740 --> 02:49:58,740
of room to do good by

2368
02:49:58,740 --> 02:50:02,740
finding the bargains that are out there

2369
02:50:02,740 --> 02:50:06,740
on, you know, older hardware that is still perfectly serviceable

2370
02:50:06,740 --> 02:50:10,740
and keeping machines keeping machines

2371
02:50:10,740 --> 02:50:14,740
on the battlefield or call of duty

2372
02:50:14,740 --> 02:50:16,740
as it were.

2373
02:50:18,740 --> 02:50:22,740
Alright Dan, hit me. In classic line of Sebastian fashion

2374
02:50:22,740 --> 02:50:26,740
my painters messed up the plan to eggshell finish.

2375
02:50:26,740 --> 02:50:30,740
What am I leaving on the table for having matte finish walls?

2376
02:50:30,740 --> 02:50:34,740
Scrubbability. Eggshell basically just means

2377
02:50:34,740 --> 02:50:38,740
there's a little bit more resin in the paint and it has a bit more

2378
02:50:38,740 --> 02:50:42,740
of a glossy, durable finish.

2379
02:50:42,740 --> 02:50:46,740
And so that means that when it comes time to wash it, you're less likely

2380
02:50:46,740 --> 02:50:50,740
to leave marks that are going to look kind of stupid.

2381
02:50:50,740 --> 02:50:54,740
It's not going to no indoor paint

2382
02:50:54,740 --> 02:50:58,740
unless you're in like a I don't know, like a

2383
02:50:58,740 --> 02:51:02,740
kitchen with a ton of moisture or something like that.

2384
02:51:02,740 --> 02:51:06,740
So no indoor paint is likely to actually like

2385
02:51:06,740 --> 02:51:10,740
flake off the wall unless you Unless you live in my house.

2386
02:51:10,740 --> 02:51:14,740
What happens in your house? The previous owners did a terrible job

2387
02:51:14,740 --> 02:51:18,740
with the paint and they put water based over top of oil

2388
02:51:18,740 --> 02:51:22,740
based. That is a problem.

2389
02:51:22,740 --> 02:51:26,740
And you don't worry, you can prevent that. All you got to go do is

2390
02:51:26,740 --> 02:51:30,740
go get yourself a little thing and nail polish remover as long as it has acetone in it.

2391
02:51:30,740 --> 02:51:34,740
You need something with acetone. You take a little bit of acetone, you put it on a rag

2392
02:51:34,740 --> 02:51:38,740
and then you rub it in a discrete spot on the wall. I mean theoretically

2393
02:51:38,740 --> 02:51:42,740
it doesn't matter because you're about to paint over it. But you just rub it in a little discrete spot on the wall

2394
02:51:42,740 --> 02:51:46,740
and if it comes off, it's water based and if it doesn't come off, then it's

2395
02:51:46,740 --> 02:51:50,740
oil based and you just make sure that you paint on whatever matches

2396
02:51:50,740 --> 02:51:54,740
what was already there if you want the best chance of adhesion. So in general

2397
02:51:54,740 --> 02:51:58,740
indoors, there's not much risk of like the elements causing your paint to break down.

2398
02:51:58,740 --> 02:52:02,740
But it just means that the nice

2399
02:52:02,740 --> 02:52:06,740
finish won't last for very long. Matt will look better for like

2400
02:52:06,740 --> 02:52:10,740
45 minutes. And then after that, it will look worse.

2401
02:52:10,740 --> 02:52:14,740
That's why we put it on the ceiling. Yes, that's exactly why you put it on the ceiling.

2402
02:52:14,740 --> 02:52:18,740
That's why we use Matt on the ceiling. The other reason we use it on the ceiling is because

2403
02:52:18,740 --> 02:52:22,740
Matt hides imperfections much better. Can you paint in a previous life?

2404
02:52:22,740 --> 02:52:26,740
I had to paint my house. Oh, okay.

2405
02:52:26,740 --> 02:52:30,740
Let me get covered in spit. Sorry

2406
02:52:30,740 --> 02:52:34,740
my watch was talking to me. So one of the other reasons for the ceiling

2407
02:52:34,740 --> 02:52:38,740
is they have these long uninterrupted

2408
02:52:38,740 --> 02:52:42,740
spaces and it's really hard to apply drywall perfectly.

2409
02:52:42,740 --> 02:52:46,740
That's one of the reasons that stipple or popcorn ceiling exists

2410
02:52:46,740 --> 02:52:50,740
is because it helps to mask any errors in the ceiling drywalling.

2411
02:52:50,740 --> 02:52:54,740
But what also helps mask it is Matt paint is far less likely

2412
02:52:54,740 --> 02:52:58,740
to draw the eye to a bump or imperfection.

2413
02:52:58,740 --> 02:53:02,740
What is going on right now? Wait, who put this in here?

2414
02:53:02,740 --> 02:53:06,740
Whoever pre-wired this put the power supply end at the top.

2415
02:53:06,740 --> 02:53:10,740
I was wondering why this 8-pin wasn't going in.

2416
02:53:10,740 --> 02:53:14,740
Amateurs. Alright, that's fine.

2417
02:53:16,740 --> 02:53:20,740
In fairness to them it has been

2418
02:53:20,740 --> 02:53:24,740
overall helpful to have a lot of things pre-applied.

2419
02:53:24,740 --> 02:53:28,740
Dan, hit me with a merge message. Sure thing.

2420
02:53:28,740 --> 02:53:32,740
Just swapped over to an AMD system. Does AMD take advantage of dual channel memory?

2421
02:53:32,740 --> 02:53:36,740
Thinking of swapping out my B450 Mark II for one with four RAM slots

2422
02:53:36,740 --> 02:53:40,740
but if it's not going to make a big difference I'll skip.

2423
02:53:40,740 --> 02:53:44,740
So your two slots are already dual channel.

2424
02:53:44,740 --> 02:53:48,740
Your four slots is just going to allow you

2425
02:53:48,740 --> 02:53:52,740
to put two dims

2426
02:53:52,740 --> 02:53:56,740
sorry cable tie up

2427
02:53:56,740 --> 02:54:00,740
is going to allow you to do two dims per one of your channels.

2428
02:54:00,740 --> 02:54:04,740
AMD does support two dims per channel on their consumer platforms

2429
02:54:04,740 --> 02:54:08,740
but not at the same speed as if you only run one dim per channel.

2430
02:54:08,740 --> 02:54:12,740
So I would say

2431
02:54:12,740 --> 02:54:16,740
personally I would prefer to just

2432
02:54:16,740 --> 02:54:20,740
use one dim per channel on modern platform because

2433
02:54:20,740 --> 02:54:24,740
the speed difference is something that is probably going to be

2434
02:54:24,740 --> 02:54:28,740
more noticeable than the difference of having more memory

2435
02:54:28,740 --> 02:54:32,740
unless you know that you absolutely need more memory in which case

2436
02:54:32,740 --> 02:54:36,740
having more memory is more better. So basically

2437
02:54:36,740 --> 02:54:40,740
if you know you need more memory go for it if you aren't a hundred percent sure

2438
02:54:40,740 --> 02:54:44,740
probably you aren't going to get a performance benefit from it anyway.

2439
02:54:44,740 --> 02:54:48,740
We've only got two minutes left

2440
02:54:48,740 --> 02:54:52,740
because you started drilling me on archery.

2441
02:54:52,740 --> 02:54:56,740
Well you didn't have to answer

2442
02:54:56,740 --> 02:55:00,740
you could have been the responsible one and kept us on task. I mean he's been pretty good.

2443
02:55:00,740 --> 02:55:04,740
It's not entirely on me. What do you mean he's been pretty good? I'm almost done too.

2444
02:55:04,740 --> 02:55:08,740
Is this GPU in? No. I had to restart my motherboard

2445
02:55:08,740 --> 02:55:12,740
because I cross-threaded a screw. Oh no!

2446
02:55:12,740 --> 02:55:16,740
I think we're pretty close there Jordan. Mr. He's been on task.

2447
02:55:18,740 --> 02:55:22,740
Man! I'm just polite okay. There's so much RGB in here.

2448
02:55:22,740 --> 02:55:26,740
I don't want to deal with this. What even is all of this?

2449
02:55:26,740 --> 02:55:28,740
Welcome to Thermaltake.

2450
02:55:30,740 --> 02:55:34,740
I don't want RGB. I just want an easy build.

2451
02:55:34,740 --> 02:55:36,740
Why is edition? Don't plug it in.

2452
02:55:38,740 --> 02:55:42,740
That's what we did for Brad's computer. It was too bright.

2453
02:55:42,740 --> 02:55:46,740
I'm going to plug it in. I thought he liked the RGB.

2454
02:55:46,740 --> 02:55:50,740
I plugged in his EK fans and they were on like rainbow mode the entire time.

2455
02:55:50,740 --> 02:55:54,740
Oh no! I didn't set to orange. I'll pass on this. Yeah, probably.

2456
02:55:54,740 --> 02:55:58,740
Yeah. I don't know.

2457
02:55:58,740 --> 02:56:02,740
I've got a pair of side cutters for you if you want. Okay. Hit me Dan.

2458
02:56:02,740 --> 02:56:06,740
Sure. Hi DLM. I work at media marked

2459
02:56:06,740 --> 02:56:10,740
the best buy of Europe. Why do you think these big box

2460
02:56:10,740 --> 02:56:14,740
tech shops don't sell many individual PC parts? My store basically only

2461
02:56:14,740 --> 02:56:16,740
sells SSDs and thermal paste.

2462
02:56:20,740 --> 02:56:24,740
Yeah, I know the answer to that. There's no margin in it.

2463
02:56:24,740 --> 02:56:28,740
Finished systems, you're going to be supported not just

2464
02:56:28,740 --> 02:56:32,740
by the margin on the system itself, but a lot of the time there's much more generous

2465
02:56:32,740 --> 02:56:36,740
SPA or SPF or MDF programs that are attached

2466
02:56:36,740 --> 02:56:40,740
to them. So that's where you're actually making money

2467
02:56:40,740 --> 02:56:44,740
in the PC industry is through marketing programs when you're a large retailer.

2468
02:56:44,740 --> 02:56:48,740
And on a motherboard you might make

2469
02:56:48,740 --> 02:56:52,740
8 or 9 points, 10 points on a CPU

2470
02:56:52,740 --> 02:56:56,740
like especially a popular high run rate model

2471
02:56:56,740 --> 02:57:00,740
you're maybe making like 5 points. I mean Micro Center famously sells

2472
02:57:00,740 --> 02:57:04,740
so many of their CPUs at a loss, right?

2473
02:57:04,740 --> 02:57:08,740
So a lot of retailers just kind of look at that industry

2474
02:57:08,740 --> 02:57:12,740
and they kind of go, why? Like

2475
02:57:12,740 --> 02:57:16,740
why am I bothering with this when I can sell I can sell TVs

2476
02:57:16,740 --> 02:57:20,740
which have a lot of the margins out of TVs these days, but you know I can sell TVs

2477
02:57:20,740 --> 02:57:24,740
I can sell laptops, I can sell

2478
02:57:24,740 --> 02:57:28,740
a lot of categories have really

2479
02:57:28,740 --> 02:57:32,740
contracted over the years. I was going to say cameras but like they're kind of dead.

2480
02:57:32,740 --> 02:57:36,740
The point is just there's other there's other categories that

2481
02:57:36,740 --> 02:57:40,740
at least have some profit left in them and PC parts is not

2482
02:57:40,740 --> 02:57:44,740
not a lucrative not a lucrative business

2483
02:57:44,740 --> 02:57:48,740
officially behind your next challenger is here

2484
02:57:48,740 --> 02:57:52,740
my next challenger is here okay that's fine

2485
02:57:52,740 --> 02:57:56,740
I am close I am a lot closer than it

2486
02:57:56,740 --> 02:58:00,740
probably looks or I am a lot farther than it probably looks

2487
02:58:00,740 --> 02:58:04,740
and I am not sure which one yet because I don't know how hard it's going to be

2488
02:58:04,740 --> 02:58:08,740
to plug these cables into this power supply with this little room

2489
02:58:08,740 --> 02:58:12,740
I am certainly going to do my best to do it

2490
02:58:12,740 --> 02:58:16,740
oh you did the opposite way you fool

2491
02:58:16,740 --> 02:58:20,740
I know I know

2492
02:58:20,740 --> 02:58:24,740
I did not do a very smart thing here oh no

2493
02:58:24,740 --> 02:58:28,740
oh no we are NVIDIA on this one

2494
02:58:28,740 --> 02:58:32,740
oh no I have to get all the way to the other end

2495
02:58:32,740 --> 02:58:36,740
also did whoever wire this up wire it backwards

2496
02:58:36,740 --> 02:58:40,740
no they didn't okay I oh man can I do this

2497
02:58:40,740 --> 02:58:44,740
can I plug one of these 12 pin connectors in

2498
02:58:44,740 --> 02:58:46,740
all the way in there

2499
02:58:48,740 --> 02:58:52,740
what is that sound is that showing up on the mic

2500
02:58:52,740 --> 02:58:56,740
yes sounds like my neighbors are doing it

2501
02:58:56,740 --> 02:59:00,740
during the ridiculous

2502
02:59:00,740 --> 02:59:04,740
nope I cannot do this

2503
02:59:04,740 --> 02:59:08,740
my small hands power does have limits I am going to have to

2504
02:59:08,740 --> 02:59:12,740
undo this power supply and plug in the modular cables and put it back in

2505
02:59:12,740 --> 02:59:16,740
fortunately that shouldn't take too long I thought you were supposed to be getting better at this

2506
02:59:16,740 --> 02:59:20,740
he's got to re-set because it's Intel 3

2507
02:59:20,740 --> 02:59:24,740
yeah this is a very different system with different quarks

2508
02:59:24,740 --> 02:59:28,740
one of four not five of eight

2509
02:59:28,740 --> 02:59:32,740
has anyone at any point here figured out what our times are for the machines

2510
02:59:32,740 --> 02:59:36,740
it is very important to me and I cannot stress this enough

2511
02:59:36,740 --> 02:59:40,740
that we figure this out at some point literally no one

2512
02:59:40,740 --> 02:59:44,740
no I need to know how much each system took as anyone

2513
02:59:44,740 --> 02:59:48,740
watching at home able to go back and get

2514
02:59:48,740 --> 02:59:52,740
get us the times the in and out times for each machine

2515
02:59:52,740 --> 02:59:56,740
thank you it would mean so much to me

2516
02:59:56,740 --> 03:00:00,740
the entire title of the video is building PCs until I get good at it

2517
03:00:00,740 --> 03:00:04,740
but we can't quantify it until we know how long they take to build

2518
03:00:04,740 --> 03:00:08,740
I will go through everything now thank you so much

2519
03:00:08,740 --> 03:00:12,740
hey Dan maybe put that on pause could I get a merge message

2520
03:00:12,740 --> 03:00:16,740
you don't have to complain about it then do you think PC electronics are

2521
03:00:16,740 --> 03:00:20,740
sturdier than that of a decade or more ago example

2522
03:00:20,740 --> 03:00:24,740
they had multiple g-force 8800 GTXs and the cards only ever

2523
03:00:24,740 --> 03:00:28,740
lasted just past their warranty and even the motherboard suffered issues

2524
03:00:28,740 --> 03:00:32,740
no not even a little bit

2525
03:00:32,740 --> 03:00:36,740
man the tolerances are so tight these days

2526
03:00:36,740 --> 03:00:40,740
things are things run hotter

2527
03:00:40,740 --> 03:00:44,740
by spec these days I don't think I've seen

2528
03:00:44,740 --> 03:00:48,740
I don't think I've seen anything to indicate that the electronics

2529
03:00:48,740 --> 03:00:52,740
manufactured today are more robust

2530
03:00:52,740 --> 03:00:56,740
there are things that are there are things that are I think if we were to go back

2531
03:00:56,740 --> 03:01:00,740
to electrolytic capacitors that would be a big problem

2532
03:01:00,740 --> 03:01:04,740
for the longevity of our electronics but I think all other things being

2533
03:01:04,740 --> 03:01:08,740
equal man like John you've probably

2534
03:01:08,740 --> 03:01:12,740
dug a PCB out of some

2535
03:01:12,740 --> 03:01:16,740
radio from the 1970s you look at the size of the traces

2536
03:01:16,740 --> 03:01:20,740
on those boards they couldn't they couldn't fail

2537
03:01:20,740 --> 03:01:24,740
like it's they were built like tanks except for they were

2538
03:01:24,740 --> 03:01:28,740
very terrible tanks okay I've got some times

2539
03:01:28,740 --> 03:01:32,740
yeah so we have great tanks that are

2540
03:01:32,740 --> 03:01:36,740
finicky as all heck these days I guess if that's if we're continuing

2541
03:01:36,740 --> 03:01:40,740
John's analogies thanks flowplane chat I've got times for you Linus

2542
03:01:40,740 --> 03:01:44,740
we've got times okay what are our times

2543
03:01:44,740 --> 03:01:47,740
PC 1 37 and a half minutes okay PC 2

2544
03:01:47,740 --> 03:01:50,740
27 minutes PC 3 28 minutes

2545
03:01:50,740 --> 03:01:53,740
PC 4 35 minutes

2546
03:01:53,740 --> 03:01:57,740
really yeah oh wow I'm all over the place

2547
03:01:57,740 --> 03:02:01,740
interesting where are we now Jordan like what is this one

2548
03:02:01,740 --> 03:02:04,740
this is number something

2549
03:02:04,740 --> 03:02:06,740
36 what's the timer say

2550
03:02:07,740 --> 03:02:10,740
oh he's been building it for six minutes nope

2551
03:02:10,740 --> 03:02:13,740
36 minutes it doesn't count up

2552
03:02:13,740 --> 03:02:16,740
no oh it just resets immediately

2553
03:02:16,740 --> 03:02:20,740
we're plugging in the PC's yeah he's on six minutes into the next one

2554
03:02:20,740 --> 03:02:23,740
oh my goodness this is um cool I can keep track of that now

2555
03:02:23,740 --> 03:02:27,740
okay sorry this is the most challenging build so far

2556
03:02:27,740 --> 03:02:30,740
I am challenged right now

2557
03:02:32,740 --> 03:02:36,740
okay I think

2558
03:02:36,740 --> 03:02:39,740
I have built this computer

2559
03:02:40,740 --> 03:02:42,740
I

2560
03:02:43,740 --> 03:02:46,740
but will it post am almost certain

2561
03:02:46,740 --> 03:02:49,740
that the RGB is not hooked up

2562
03:02:49,740 --> 03:02:53,740
correctly dang it

2563
03:02:53,740 --> 03:02:57,740
no I don't think they wired together all the RGB for us John

2564
03:02:57,740 --> 03:03:01,740
mine looked pretty clean I mean

2565
03:03:01,740 --> 03:03:06,740
I won't deny that it's clean it's just a question of whether it is plugged in

2566
03:03:06,740 --> 03:03:10,740
oh god these are those stupid ones that you have to bend off

2567
03:03:10,740 --> 03:03:15,740
what the graphics card area

2568
03:03:15,740 --> 03:03:19,740
oh yes

2569
03:03:19,740 --> 03:03:23,740
the other case I don't want to be down too much on the case

2570
03:03:23,740 --> 03:03:26,740
because they generously provided it for the stream

2571
03:03:26,740 --> 03:03:29,740
and it's for charity which is really good

2572
03:03:29,740 --> 03:03:32,740
but I

2573
03:03:32,740 --> 03:03:36,740
will say that I appreciated

2574
03:03:36,740 --> 03:03:39,740
some of the nice tabs

2575
03:03:39,740 --> 03:03:42,740
that our other case had

2576
03:03:42,740 --> 03:03:45,740
okay let's see

2577
03:03:45,740 --> 03:03:49,740
let's see if my system works oh after I put a GPU in it

2578
03:03:49,740 --> 03:03:53,740
dang, dang, nab it these can be a little scary

2579
03:03:53,740 --> 03:03:57,740
I think for my second oh no this is nice this motherboard

2580
03:03:57,740 --> 03:04:01,740
has this area of the PCB quite clear but if you look right here

2581
03:04:01,740 --> 03:04:05,740
there's some surface mount components here and when you bend these out

2582
03:04:05,740 --> 03:04:09,740
you can knock these off don't ask me how I know

2583
03:04:09,740 --> 03:04:13,740
alright what do we got for GPUs here I got an RTX 4070 Super

2584
03:04:13,740 --> 03:04:16,740
oh that's nice to see mine's white

2585
03:04:16,740 --> 03:04:20,740
alright we've gone well your doesn't match

2586
03:04:20,740 --> 03:04:24,740
the visual aesthetic there but hey that's fine

2587
03:04:24,740 --> 03:04:27,740
it'll output frames just the same

2588
03:04:27,740 --> 03:04:31,740
it is a bold choice or generate them it's just an absolute kill case

2589
03:04:31,740 --> 03:04:35,740
that is the other option does the GPU generate the frames

2590
03:04:35,740 --> 03:04:38,740
or is that done on the CPU and the GPU just purchases us

2591
03:04:38,740 --> 03:04:41,740
I'm calling it the GPU I'm saying it's generated on the GPU

2592
03:04:41,740 --> 03:04:44,740
alright Dan do you want to hit me with a merge message sure

2593
03:04:44,740 --> 03:04:47,740
do you think the big difference between AMD and NVIDIA is just software

2594
03:04:47,740 --> 03:04:51,740
CUDA, DLSS, etc or are NVIDIA GPUs better even

2595
03:04:51,740 --> 03:04:55,740
without those things taken into account if anything I would say that

2596
03:04:55,740 --> 03:04:58,740
price for price AMD GPUs are

2597
03:04:58,740 --> 03:05:02,740
better a lot of

2598
03:05:02,740 --> 03:05:06,740
a lot of the engineering of a GPU these days

2599
03:05:06,740 --> 03:05:10,740
is pretty well understood those folks at both team red and team green

2600
03:05:10,740 --> 03:05:14,740
have been doing things for a very very very long time

2601
03:05:16,740 --> 03:05:20,740
and I think that we have seen generation by generation

2602
03:05:20,740 --> 03:05:24,740
that on paper AMD will have a lot

2603
03:05:24,740 --> 03:05:28,740
more performance in theory

2604
03:05:28,740 --> 03:05:32,740
but NVIDIA finds a way to

2605
03:05:32,740 --> 03:05:36,740
be very very competitive in terms of real world performance

2606
03:05:36,740 --> 03:05:40,740
it's also gotten extremely complicated to measure because

2607
03:05:40,740 --> 03:05:44,740
now we can't just look at memory bandwidth

2608
03:05:44,740 --> 03:05:48,740
and how many shaders it has or whatever else

2609
03:05:48,740 --> 03:05:52,740
you can't just look at raw specs because especially NVIDIA

2610
03:05:52,740 --> 03:05:56,740
has included like

2611
03:05:56,740 --> 03:06:00,740
essentially assist

2612
03:06:00,740 --> 03:06:04,740
co-processors on their GPUs that do things like

2613
03:06:04,740 --> 03:06:08,740
help with AI accelerated upscaling so

2614
03:06:08,740 --> 03:06:12,740
I would say AMD

2615
03:06:12,740 --> 03:06:16,740
generally builds a stronger GPU for the price

2616
03:06:16,740 --> 03:06:20,740
but not out of the goodness of their heart it's because

2617
03:06:20,740 --> 03:06:24,740
in order to compete they kind of have to throw more

2618
03:06:24,740 --> 03:06:28,740
at the problem would be my assessment

2619
03:06:28,740 --> 03:06:32,740
let's see if we manage to build a functioning computer here any luck

2620
03:06:32,740 --> 03:06:36,740
any dice oh my goodness

2621
03:06:36,740 --> 03:06:40,740
am I I'm 10 minutes over time on this one

2622
03:06:40,740 --> 03:06:44,740
yeah good gravy

2623
03:06:44,740 --> 03:06:48,740
okay and I'm supposed to talk about LTT Store I think it's posted

2624
03:06:48,740 --> 03:06:52,740
hey did it post 40

2625
03:06:52,740 --> 03:06:56,740
40 minutes 30 seconds okay I have a new guest

2626
03:06:56,740 --> 03:07:00,740
hey how's it going Tatiana from creator rear house wow you are making

2627
03:07:00,740 --> 03:07:04,740
progress which is good no good job

2628
03:07:04,740 --> 03:07:08,740
you're doing everything right so far so that's better than Dennis

2629
03:07:08,740 --> 03:07:12,740
here's a mic for you oh she doesn't have a mic

2630
03:07:12,740 --> 03:07:16,740
well okay cool we'll talk in a minute okay

2631
03:07:16,740 --> 03:07:20,740
I was wondering why you were all done up this morning I was afraid to ask because I think you're not supposed to ask

2632
03:07:20,740 --> 03:07:24,740
oh my god yes it's for our viewers yeah okay

2633
03:07:24,740 --> 03:07:28,740
that makes sense we had our merch meeting this morning

2634
03:07:28,740 --> 03:07:32,740
and I was like well you know like Mark for example

2635
03:07:32,740 --> 03:07:36,740
you know showed up and like totally done up all nice

2636
03:07:36,740 --> 03:07:40,740
and you know you ask but I

2637
03:07:40,740 --> 03:07:44,740
I don't know I never know what the rules are and I don't want to overstep

2638
03:07:44,740 --> 03:07:48,740
my bounds so I just was like okay yeah her hair looks nice today

2639
03:07:48,740 --> 03:07:52,740
I didn't say anything but this makes way more sense now

2640
03:07:52,740 --> 03:07:56,740
it totally makes sense anyway do you want to explain or are you mic not yeah you're mic now

2641
03:07:56,740 --> 03:08:00,740
do you want to explain what you do for the for the creator rear house team and also

2642
03:08:00,740 --> 03:08:04,740
get out of my way because I know you have the table get out of my way

2643
03:08:04,740 --> 03:08:08,740
yeah so I'm the raw materials product

2644
03:08:08,740 --> 03:08:12,740
developer here at creator rear house so I work on a lot of fashion products

2645
03:08:12,740 --> 03:08:16,740
to make sure that everything is tested and that we have excellent fabrics

2646
03:08:16,740 --> 03:08:20,740
that are tried and true and stand the test of time sorry

2647
03:08:20,740 --> 03:08:24,740
and sometimes I work on some engineering products and I also help around with photography

2648
03:08:24,740 --> 03:08:28,740
and everything else in order to make creator rear house what it is

2649
03:08:28,740 --> 03:08:32,740
so one of her first challenges that is now finally coming to market

2650
03:08:32,740 --> 03:08:36,740
I think sometime in the next couple months

2651
03:08:36,740 --> 03:08:40,740
yeah yeah was our mod mat

2652
03:08:40,740 --> 03:08:44,740
so I I

2653
03:08:44,740 --> 03:08:48,740
gave her a very difficult task I basically said

2654
03:08:48,740 --> 03:08:52,740
yeah needs to be price competitive because I think one of the problems

2655
03:08:52,740 --> 03:08:56,740
with the existing mod mats on the market is that they're so expensive that unless

2656
03:08:56,740 --> 03:09:00,740
you're building computers regularly or commercially

2657
03:09:00,740 --> 03:09:04,740
they don't even really make sense to buy so so many people who are working on projects

2658
03:09:04,740 --> 03:09:08,740
or building computers can't really absorb that much cost

2659
03:09:08,740 --> 03:09:12,740
in the cost of their machine I don't think that really makes sense

2660
03:09:12,740 --> 03:09:16,740
but I also came back to her and said well okay so the cost has to make sense

2661
03:09:16,740 --> 03:09:20,740
but do you remember all the things that I was like

2662
03:09:20,740 --> 03:09:24,740
they need to be class leading let's see for fun because

2663
03:09:24,740 --> 03:09:28,740
I'm having you do it because I don't remember well it had to be

2664
03:09:28,740 --> 03:09:32,740
very easy to oh sorry it had to be very easy to clean

2665
03:09:32,740 --> 03:09:36,740
it had to make sure that no screws would fall off

2666
03:09:36,740 --> 03:09:40,740
so the tribology and the wear would be really good in order to capture

2667
03:09:40,740 --> 03:09:44,740
that kind of friction you're gonna have to define words like tribology she always

2668
03:09:44,740 --> 03:09:48,740
does this she just dropped some technical ass term in the middle

2669
03:09:48,740 --> 03:09:52,740
of the meeting and I'm like yeah that's that's a word I've never heard

2670
03:09:52,740 --> 03:09:56,740
of or really yeah explain oh okay um well it's

2671
03:09:56,740 --> 03:10:00,740
the study of wear and friction okay so especially when you're talking about

2672
03:10:00,740 --> 03:10:04,740
sorry for example bearings or when you're looking at gaskets and stuff

2673
03:10:04,740 --> 03:10:08,740
you want to make sure that there's enough lubricant so wear means it's that

2674
03:10:08,740 --> 03:10:12,740
the actual texture on it allows for more friction

2675
03:10:12,740 --> 03:10:16,740
in order to make sure that nothing will slide off so that was one of the tests to make sure that

2676
03:10:16,740 --> 03:10:20,740
we had a adequate amount of friction applied and then looking at

2677
03:10:20,740 --> 03:10:24,740
doing not only internal testing but also third-party testing

2678
03:10:24,740 --> 03:10:28,740
I did a ton in regards to picking the blend of

2679
03:10:28,740 --> 03:10:32,740
rubbers and even the fillers so it actually uses a

2680
03:10:32,740 --> 03:10:36,740
conductive carbon black in order to make sure that the top

2681
03:10:36,740 --> 03:10:40,740
is dissipated and that the bottom is conductive that's so cool

2682
03:10:40,740 --> 03:10:44,740
I always forget that like a lot of the people we work with are nerds too

2683
03:10:44,740 --> 03:10:48,740
and CW has some really cool specialties almost all of them

2684
03:10:48,740 --> 03:10:52,740
I know it's awesome so cool it's just types of

2685
03:10:52,740 --> 03:10:56,740
nerd to dumb it's great yeah we're very excited

2686
03:10:56,740 --> 03:11:00,740
about this product she ended up hitting some stretch targets it is

2687
03:11:00,740 --> 03:11:04,740
extremely burn resistant so you're still going to be able to

2688
03:11:04,740 --> 03:11:08,740
market if you try really hard don't expect to be using a blowtorch

2689
03:11:08,740 --> 03:11:12,740
over top of it and hitting it full blast and having it not mar at all

2690
03:11:12,740 --> 03:11:16,740
or whatever the case may be but it is up there with any other

2691
03:11:16,740 --> 03:11:20,740
any other product on the market in terms of heat resistance

2692
03:11:20,740 --> 03:11:24,740
and we also managed to find an outstanding print

2693
03:11:24,740 --> 03:11:28,740
process that gives it a really vibrant but still extremely

2694
03:11:28,740 --> 03:11:32,740
clear clear print so that was

2695
03:11:32,740 --> 03:11:36,740
that was one of Tatiana's early tasks that she has managed

2696
03:11:36,740 --> 03:11:40,740
to bring all the way to market now it will be launching fairly soon

2697
03:11:40,740 --> 03:11:44,740
and then there's another one that we're going to have to discuss

2698
03:11:44,740 --> 03:11:48,740
because it wasn't nearly as much of a success and has been an ongoing

2699
03:11:48,740 --> 03:11:52,740
pain point and actually has actually put some strain on our relationship

2700
03:11:52,740 --> 03:11:56,740
because I asked Tatiana to solve once and for

2701
03:11:56,740 --> 03:12:00,740
all the fact that we don't have socks and she promised

2702
03:12:00,740 --> 03:12:04,740
do you remember that she was young and naive then

2703
03:12:04,740 --> 03:12:08,740
yes I was she promised to find

2704
03:12:08,740 --> 03:12:12,740
a sock blend and a sock what is it it's not a weave

2705
03:12:12,740 --> 03:12:16,740
is it what's the technical the knit and a sock knit

2706
03:12:16,740 --> 03:12:20,740
that would meet my exacting standards and the only reason

2707
03:12:20,740 --> 03:12:24,740
I actually bring it up is because I think we're finally

2708
03:12:24,740 --> 03:12:28,740
getting close hopefully how many

2709
03:12:28,740 --> 03:12:32,740
samples have you have you brought to

2710
03:12:32,740 --> 03:12:36,740
my god a ridiculous amount of samples

2711
03:12:36,740 --> 03:12:40,740
ridiculous amount of samples but I don't ask

2712
03:12:40,740 --> 03:12:44,740
for much I ask for comfort durability breathability

2713
03:12:44,740 --> 03:12:48,740
quick drying I want it to look nice

2714
03:12:48,740 --> 03:12:52,740
I mean really affordable

2715
03:12:52,740 --> 03:12:56,740
yeah yeah right that's what everyone wants

2716
03:12:56,740 --> 03:13:00,740
I'm asking for no more than what our customer wants

2717
03:13:00,740 --> 03:13:04,740
which is the world at a good price

2718
03:13:04,740 --> 03:13:08,740
oh man yeah no it's kind of wild

2719
03:13:08,740 --> 03:13:12,740
the different rabbit holes that you've ended up okay give me

2720
03:13:12,740 --> 03:13:16,740
another rabbit hole that you ended up down during your time here

2721
03:13:16,740 --> 03:13:20,740
that you did not expect that I did not expect

2722
03:13:20,740 --> 03:13:24,740
you can give me one you expected as long as it's fun too I love all of

2723
03:13:24,740 --> 03:13:28,740
the different changing materials that we do such as

2724
03:13:28,740 --> 03:13:32,740
we're doing some that change when you apply water to it

2725
03:13:32,740 --> 03:13:36,740
and it reveals something or even some heat changing

2726
03:13:36,740 --> 03:13:40,740
one so when you touch it it'll actually phase change essentially

2727
03:13:40,740 --> 03:13:44,740
into a different color I know okay but

2728
03:13:44,740 --> 03:13:48,740
Nick it wasn't me it was not

2729
03:13:48,740 --> 03:13:52,740
me for a change hey you know what I did talk about

2730
03:13:52,740 --> 03:13:56,740
the zip-off shorts that I was like oh would anyone

2731
03:13:56,740 --> 03:14:00,740
actually want this and lo and behold Nick comes to me and he's like you know what

2732
03:14:00,740 --> 03:14:04,740
everyone in the comments wanted it so I got schooled a little bit

2733
03:14:04,740 --> 03:14:08,740
and it might be coming out soon so you know

2734
03:14:08,740 --> 03:14:12,740
seriously gonna do zip-off shorts that would be amazing I actually

2735
03:14:12,740 --> 03:14:16,740
love those they're so practical but what do you do with the legs

2736
03:14:16,740 --> 03:14:20,740
are you doing mix like different color ways or do you do mix and match

2737
03:14:20,740 --> 03:14:24,740
okay I revealed so much already I gotta stop

2738
03:14:26,740 --> 03:14:30,740
I should at least clarify what she's talking about with the

2739
03:14:30,740 --> 03:14:34,740
the water reveal so I'm

2740
03:14:34,740 --> 03:14:38,740
personally extremely excited about this one I mean

2741
03:14:38,740 --> 03:14:42,740
do your best impression of the noise that I made when you guys first showed me the fabric samples

2742
03:14:42,740 --> 03:14:46,740
let's hear it and I was like it was either that or

2743
03:14:46,740 --> 03:14:50,740
something along those lines it's something so cool

2744
03:14:50,740 --> 03:14:54,740
so do you want to explain how it works it's a fabric that when it gets

2745
03:14:54,740 --> 03:14:58,740
wet it like reveals a hidden picture essentially

2746
03:14:58,740 --> 03:15:02,740
so how does that work so essentially it's a

2747
03:15:02,740 --> 03:15:06,740
clear resist that's applied onto the fabric so therefore wherever

2748
03:15:06,740 --> 03:15:10,740
the resist is it's going to not

2749
03:15:10,740 --> 03:15:14,740
wet or absorb the into the fabric thus

2750
03:15:14,740 --> 03:15:18,740
not changing the color therefore you're going to see the print

2751
03:15:18,740 --> 03:15:22,740
when the parts do get wet and the other parts resist it

2752
03:15:22,740 --> 03:15:26,740
hopefully that makes sense I think that's a good explanation

2753
03:15:26,740 --> 03:15:30,740
what I don't understand necessarily is

2754
03:15:30,740 --> 03:15:34,740
oh that like wouldn't the

2755
03:15:34,740 --> 03:15:38,740
wouldn't the water creep in from the side like under the resist

2756
03:15:38,740 --> 03:15:42,740
or does the resist soak into the fabric so that it just

2757
03:15:42,740 --> 03:15:46,740
um well resists essentially okay

2758
03:15:46,740 --> 03:15:50,740
so that's how it works anyway we're doing a bathing suit yes

2759
03:15:50,740 --> 03:15:54,740
and it is so cool because

2760
03:15:54,740 --> 03:15:58,740
when it gets wet so it just looks like a solid color

2761
03:15:58,740 --> 03:16:02,740
when you're still on the beach and then when you get in the water and it gets

2762
03:16:02,740 --> 03:16:06,740
wet what did we settle on for the pattern do you remember

2763
03:16:06,740 --> 03:16:10,740
uh yes well there's going to be two I don't know how much we want

2764
03:16:10,740 --> 03:16:12,740
to reveal but

2765
03:16:14,740 --> 03:16:18,740
you are officially the leatiest team member now

2766
03:16:18,740 --> 03:16:22,740
jeez I can't you know what just go for it do you remember

2767
03:16:22,740 --> 03:16:26,740
what either of them are because it actually is escaping me right of course the

2768
03:16:26,740 --> 03:16:30,740
the redisaurus and the circuit print okay that's right okay so we're going to

2769
03:16:30,740 --> 03:16:34,740
have we're going to have a common version of the swim trunks

2770
03:16:34,740 --> 03:16:38,740
and then we're also going to have a like a special like a shiny

2771
03:16:38,740 --> 03:16:42,740
and it's going to be just kind of loot boxy so you'll order the swim

2772
03:16:42,740 --> 03:16:46,740
trunks and you will either get like a circuit inspired print

2773
03:16:46,740 --> 03:16:50,740
kind of like our old like water cooling inspired

2774
03:16:50,740 --> 03:16:54,740
print that we had on our old swim shorts or is it

2775
03:16:54,740 --> 03:16:58,740
5% I can't remember I can't remember what the odds are don't quote me on the odds

2776
03:16:58,740 --> 03:17:02,740
but there are some odds 5% is it 5% nice

2777
03:17:02,740 --> 03:17:06,740
okay so there's a 5% chance that when they get

2778
03:17:06,740 --> 03:17:10,740
wet they will instead reveal bread sources

2779
03:17:10,740 --> 03:17:14,740
so so excited about that product and then

2780
03:17:14,740 --> 03:17:18,740
the the temperature change one is like

2781
03:17:18,740 --> 03:17:22,740
it's like I wouldn't describe it as a puffy jacket

2782
03:17:22,740 --> 03:17:26,740
it is a puffy jacket it's a little puffy but it's not like

2783
03:17:26,740 --> 03:17:30,740
like a puffer jacket I don't think kind of how would you describe

2784
03:17:30,740 --> 03:17:34,740
it kind of is okay well I would say that

2785
03:17:34,740 --> 03:17:38,740
it's not like your average down jacket

2786
03:17:38,740 --> 03:17:42,740
but it is going to be a kind of like a coach's jacket

2787
03:17:42,740 --> 03:17:46,740
so it's going to be a like a polyester fill

2788
03:17:46,740 --> 03:17:50,740
so it's not going to be as warm as a down so it's going to be a really good in between especially for

2789
03:17:50,740 --> 03:17:54,740
the fall or spring months anyway the part

2790
03:17:54,740 --> 03:17:58,740
that's really exciting about that one is what do you call like a

2791
03:17:58,740 --> 03:18:02,740
thermochromic? yeah, thermochromic so we found a thermochromic material

2792
03:18:02,740 --> 03:18:06,740
that initially they kind of tried to talk me out of

2793
03:18:06,740 --> 03:18:10,740
but you were in my camp for this one right? oh yeah I love it

2794
03:18:10,740 --> 03:18:14,740
yeah she was pro thermochromic so they tried to talk me out of it and the reason

2795
03:18:14,740 --> 03:18:18,740
was that it takes your body heat and it changes color

2796
03:18:18,740 --> 03:18:22,740
but the challenge with that is that if you have any internal pocketing for instance

2797
03:18:22,740 --> 03:18:26,740
you end up with more

2798
03:18:26,740 --> 03:18:30,740
thermal insulation between your body and the jacket right

2799
03:18:30,740 --> 03:18:34,740
because insulation is insulation it works both ways it's kind of

2800
03:18:34,740 --> 03:18:38,740
doing what it's supposed to do if it keeps your body heat in

2801
03:18:38,740 --> 03:18:42,740
away from the surface where it can be dissipated to the surrounding air

2802
03:18:42,740 --> 03:18:46,740
so because anywhere with extra layers

2803
03:18:46,740 --> 03:18:50,740
so anywhere where there's a pocket bag or anywhere where there's like extra stitching or whatever

2804
03:18:50,740 --> 03:18:54,740
is not going to transfer heat as well and is going to end up kind of

2805
03:18:54,740 --> 03:18:58,740
looking kind of patchy they kind of tried to talk me out of it

2806
03:18:58,740 --> 03:19:02,740
and honestly I just think it adds to the coolness of the look

2807
03:19:02,740 --> 03:19:06,740
it's very cool so essentially how it works is that

2808
03:19:06,740 --> 03:19:10,740
once heat is applied the change structure

2809
03:19:10,740 --> 03:19:14,740
becomes more flat thus allowing more

2810
03:19:14,740 --> 03:19:18,740
light to pass through making it more transparent so then you can see the base color

2811
03:19:18,740 --> 03:19:22,740
so cool so we're

2812
03:19:22,740 --> 03:19:26,740
Tatiana has been a big part of us experimenting with

2813
03:19:26,740 --> 03:19:30,740
like new materials in particular

2814
03:19:30,740 --> 03:19:34,740
because that's kind of her bread and butter but she also does more

2815
03:19:34,740 --> 03:19:38,740
just like run-of-the-mill stuff as well

2816
03:19:38,740 --> 03:19:42,740
for instance we were working on a t-shirt that we're calling the Zuck

2817
03:19:42,740 --> 03:19:46,740
and the reason is that it's modeled after the t-shirt

2818
03:19:46,740 --> 03:19:50,740
that Mark Zuckerberg famously wore for years and years and years before he got a stylist

2819
03:19:52,740 --> 03:19:56,740
and one of the things that's a big challenge is getting

2820
03:19:56,740 --> 03:20:00,740
the hand feel right to match the kind of

2821
03:20:00,740 --> 03:20:04,740
the quality and the the drape of a

2822
03:20:04,740 --> 03:20:08,740
really expensive material because it legitimately is like he wears $400 shirts

2823
03:20:08,740 --> 03:20:12,740
I don't think I think it could be done for less than $400

2824
03:20:12,740 --> 03:20:16,740
which becomes Tatiana's problem

2825
03:20:18,740 --> 03:20:22,740
so I forget where I was going with this right so one of the things that

2826
03:20:22,740 --> 03:20:26,740
Tatiana did recently was cut up a $400 t-shirt

2827
03:20:26,740 --> 03:20:30,740
in order to have the fabric tested

2828
03:20:30,740 --> 03:20:34,740
because she's really struggling with this PC I'm sorry

2829
03:20:34,740 --> 03:20:38,740
I wanted to ask I'm going to put your bracket

2830
03:20:38,740 --> 03:20:42,740
on the right way and then this is the first time I'm doing this

2831
03:20:42,740 --> 03:20:46,740
have you ever built a computer before? you are doing amazing

2832
03:20:46,740 --> 03:20:50,740
I appreciate it you're probably lying

2833
03:20:50,740 --> 03:20:54,740
you have the RAM in the correct slots you got the CPU in without busting anything

2834
03:20:54,740 --> 03:20:58,740
as far as I can tell you have the correct standoffs

2835
03:20:58,740 --> 03:21:02,740
the correct spacers for your CPU cooler mount

2836
03:21:02,740 --> 03:21:06,740
you're actually doing outstanding all things considered

2837
03:21:08,740 --> 03:21:12,740
you need some help obviously but all things considered

2838
03:21:12,740 --> 03:21:16,740
this is great okay so you're going to want to tighten

2839
03:21:16,740 --> 03:21:20,740
all those down first before you do that I'm going to take that fan off of there

2840
03:21:20,740 --> 03:21:24,740
anyway the point is we're trying to

2841
03:21:24,740 --> 03:21:28,740
match it she has this special little machine

2842
03:21:28,740 --> 03:21:32,740
I guess it's technically a machine anything's a machine that does work

2843
03:21:32,740 --> 03:21:36,740
so she has this special little machine that cuts like a perfect circle

2844
03:21:36,740 --> 03:21:40,740
out of a garment or out of a fabric so that you can measure the exact

2845
03:21:40,740 --> 03:21:44,740
weight of it which is in what like grams per

2846
03:21:44,740 --> 03:21:48,740
square something or GSM cutter

2847
03:21:48,740 --> 03:21:52,740
grams per square meter there you go so by finding that out

2848
03:21:52,740 --> 03:21:56,740
we are basically able to oh

2849
03:21:58,740 --> 03:22:02,740
this is whoops

2850
03:22:02,740 --> 03:22:06,740
oh man this this machine is a lot harder to build

2851
03:22:06,740 --> 03:22:10,740
in but I'm going to gosh darn it I'm going to do

2852
03:22:10,740 --> 03:22:14,740
my best here let's take that off

2853
03:22:14,740 --> 03:22:18,740
part of figuring out why something is good I wouldn't go as far as

2854
03:22:18,740 --> 03:22:22,740
to say reverse engineering because we're not necessarily targeting

2855
03:22:22,740 --> 03:22:26,740
the exact same composition or the exact same source because

2856
03:22:26,740 --> 03:22:30,740
if we were to target the exact same source it would probably cost just as much

2857
03:22:30,740 --> 03:22:34,740
because it's like what is it like a particular town in Italy or something where they

2858
03:22:34,740 --> 03:22:38,740
Solatano I believe but I'm not quite sure but a small town in Italy

2859
03:22:38,740 --> 03:22:42,740
where everyone is like it's a generational knitters

2860
03:22:42,740 --> 03:22:46,740
and weavers and everything is able to be traced back however

2861
03:22:46,740 --> 03:22:50,740
we are looking at the options that we do have and using other European mills

2862
03:22:50,740 --> 03:22:54,740
to also have the same kind of ethics and the same kind of practices just at a much more

2863
03:22:54,740 --> 03:22:58,740
reasonable price point for our consumers yeah there you go that thing

2864
03:22:58,740 --> 03:23:02,740
that thing she said okay managed to

2865
03:23:02,740 --> 03:23:06,740
get the eight pins plugged in which is going to save me some time later

2866
03:23:06,740 --> 03:23:10,740
but I'm a little worried about some of this cable management because the last one was kind

2867
03:23:10,740 --> 03:23:14,740
of a nightmare how much time do I have for this one Jordan I have 15 minutes left

2868
03:23:14,740 --> 03:23:18,740
you know what I can do it

2869
03:23:18,740 --> 03:23:22,740
I can do this I think Tatiana is going to do her best

2870
03:23:22,740 --> 03:23:26,740
I'm going to do my best yes that is all

2871
03:23:26,740 --> 03:23:30,740
that anyone can ask of you um

2872
03:23:30,740 --> 03:23:34,740
kind of lost now can I help you yes please no problem

2873
03:23:34,740 --> 03:23:38,740
you are going to want to go ahead and put some thermal goop on there

2874
03:23:38,740 --> 03:23:42,740
let's see how she does let's see how she does

2875
03:23:42,740 --> 03:23:46,740
because I think as part of designing or helping with the design of the mod mat

2876
03:23:46,740 --> 03:23:50,740
she's probably had to look at like thermal goop patterns

2877
03:23:50,740 --> 03:23:54,740
you know what that is a good guess okay that's a good enough guess

2878
03:23:54,740 --> 03:23:58,740
that um whether what you did is necessary or not

2879
03:23:58,740 --> 03:24:02,740
it's not going to harm anything and that will work fine I know there's an X pattern

2880
03:24:02,740 --> 03:24:06,740
I know there's a lot of different patterns I know a lot of people just do the one line

2881
03:24:06,740 --> 03:24:10,740
that's free did it I guess yep you know what that's uh

2882
03:24:10,740 --> 03:24:14,740
totally valid and you're going to get away with one on that

2883
03:24:14,740 --> 03:24:18,740
okay what I need to do because I'm actually trying to get

2884
03:24:18,740 --> 03:24:22,740
this computer done in a shorter time than the last one I built

2885
03:24:22,740 --> 03:24:26,740

03:26:10,740 --> 03:26:14,740
but I let's go

2913
03:26:14,740 --> 03:26:18,740
alright help him buy hair

2914
03:26:18,740 --> 03:26:22,740
wow can you send me to turkey?

2915
03:26:22,740 --> 03:26:26,740
send you to turkey, is that a thing? no hair transplant

2916
03:26:26,740 --> 03:26:30,740
they all go to turkey because it's cheaper

2917
03:26:30,740 --> 03:26:34,740
you see like airplanes on the way back from turkey you see so much dudes with their heads wrapped up

2918
03:26:34,740 --> 03:26:38,740
you never seen that before? no that's like a thing

2919
03:26:38,740 --> 03:26:42,740
I've never had to look into it I've never looked

2920
03:26:42,740 --> 03:26:46,740
I don't care no I know

2921
03:26:46,740 --> 03:26:50,740
this is getting so much worse obviously you don't care

2922
03:26:50,740 --> 03:26:54,740
no no that's not what I meant

2923
03:26:54,740 --> 03:26:58,740
keep the hole deeper oh my goodness

2924
03:26:58,740 --> 03:27:02,740
okay Nick can I do something for you?

2925
03:27:02,740 --> 03:27:06,740
are you visiting for a reason? can you check the call list here?

2926
03:27:06,740 --> 03:27:10,740
oh you're next oh good okay well

2927
03:27:10,740 --> 03:27:14,740
because Linus is taking so long on the computer sorry Nick

2928
03:27:14,740 --> 03:27:18,740
you're gonna want to take this fan off and then you need to screw down

2929
03:27:18,740 --> 03:27:22,740
through here to screw this to the plate there because right now it's just

2930
03:27:22,740 --> 03:27:26,740
like that and also just it doesn't matter

2931
03:27:26,740 --> 03:27:30,740
but it would mean a lot to me if you'd have the Noctua upright

2932
03:27:30,740 --> 03:27:34,740
okay yeah no problem it doesn't matter it doesn't affect performance

2933
03:27:34,740 --> 03:27:38,740
it's one of those things yeah

2934
03:27:38,740 --> 03:27:42,740
just decide you please this punch if you could do that

2935
03:27:42,740 --> 03:27:46,740
I should do a what now? leak some more stuff

2936
03:27:46,740 --> 03:27:50,740
Tatiana leaked all the stuff yeah that's okay

2937
03:27:50,740 --> 03:27:54,740
I'm gonna touch you on a tail oh wow

2938
03:27:54,740 --> 03:27:58,740
for now we've done a lot of screwdrivers

2939
03:27:58,740 --> 03:28:02,740
let's go oh man okay what else am I supposed to be doing

2940
03:28:02,740 --> 03:28:06,740
do you have any other things for me or anything or like

2941
03:28:06,740 --> 03:28:10,740
do we have a guessing game thing? we can guess some stuff

2942
03:28:10,740 --> 03:28:14,740
I got a merch message in the meantime if you fancy I'm getting a little frazzled here at this point

2943
03:28:14,740 --> 03:28:18,740
why because you're so behind yes

2944
03:28:18,740 --> 03:28:22,740
oh okay hi from Switzerland thanks for all of the great content

2945
03:28:22,740 --> 03:28:26,740
my friends at university what about the other content you're not gonna thank me for that

2946
03:28:26,740 --> 03:28:30,740
why would they we share this love for tech

2947
03:28:30,740 --> 03:28:34,740
thanks to y'all we wonder what your utility bills look like

2948
03:28:36,740 --> 03:28:40,740
how do I say this without sounding completely

2949
03:28:40,740 --> 03:28:44,740
like deranged levels of out of touch

2950
03:28:44,740 --> 03:28:48,740
I have no idea I have not looked

2951
03:28:48,740 --> 03:28:52,740
at a utility bill in my adult life I got a message Cito

2952
03:28:52,740 --> 03:28:54,740
yeah Cito would know

2953
03:28:56,740 --> 03:29:00,740
yeah I went straight from my parents paying my utility bill to my wife paying my utility bill

2954
03:29:00,740 --> 03:29:04,740
so I legitimately have never I've never so much as seen one

2955
03:29:06,740 --> 03:29:10,740
I don't know probably not good

2956
03:29:10,740 --> 03:29:14,740
because we have people who work from home

2957
03:29:14,740 --> 03:29:18,740
and they cannot possibly be expected to

2958
03:29:18,740 --> 03:29:22,740
like put their computer to sleep only when they need

2959
03:29:22,740 --> 03:29:26,740
only when they're not gonna need to wake up the next day to remote into it or whatever else

2960
03:29:26,740 --> 03:29:30,740
and stuff so basically all like 100 machines in this building

2961
03:29:30,740 --> 03:29:34,740
are just on all the time

2962
03:29:34,740 --> 03:29:38,740
just like our idle power consumption is probably ridiculous

2963
03:29:38,740 --> 03:29:42,740
Cito is getting it for us yeah I don't know what to

2964
03:29:42,740 --> 03:29:46,740
I don't know what to tell you guys other than that it's probably horrible

2965
03:29:46,740 --> 03:29:50,740
and that is in spite of us being in a part of the world

2966
03:29:50,740 --> 03:29:54,740
that has very very

2967
03:29:54,740 --> 03:29:58,740
favorable energy costs I mean we've been calculating pi

2968
03:29:58,740 --> 03:30:00,740
24-7

2969
03:30:02,740 --> 03:30:06,740
don't worry about it we've been doing nothing

2970
03:30:06,740 --> 03:30:10,740
to nobody there's no pi only cake

2971
03:30:10,740 --> 03:30:14,740
any who let's change the subject really quick here Dan

2972
03:30:14,740 --> 03:30:18,740
sorry which ones am I supposed to screw down oh yeah yeah yeah

2973
03:30:18,740 --> 03:30:22,740
okay so you gotta start by taking that fan off okay sorry I feel so bad

2974
03:30:22,740 --> 03:30:26,740
no no you're doing great so if you'd like I can show you how to do it

2975
03:30:26,740 --> 03:30:30,740
thank you okay so you pull this back here

2976
03:30:30,740 --> 03:30:34,740
you weren't looking where you were pull this back here

2977
03:30:34,740 --> 03:30:38,740
it's gonna make such a mess I hate getting it on my hands it takes forever to clean

2978
03:30:38,740 --> 03:30:42,740
um I feel so bad no no you're doing great

2979
03:30:42,740 --> 03:30:46,740
this is the more challenging of the two computers

2980
03:30:46,740 --> 03:30:50,740
so you would have had probably an easier time if you'd done the other one

2981
03:30:50,740 --> 03:30:54,740
they really threw you to the wolves on this one great I love it

2982
03:30:54,740 --> 03:30:58,740
oh I okay there you go

2983
03:30:58,740 --> 03:31:02,740
there you go no I'm kidding I'm kidding it's right

2984
03:31:02,740 --> 03:31:06,740
no no it was right it was right I'm just being supremely unhelpful

2985
03:31:06,740 --> 03:31:10,740
why are you doing this to me I don't know you probably

2986
03:31:10,740 --> 03:31:14,740
had it coming for something let's look back in time for a second

2987
03:31:14,740 --> 03:31:18,740
I always do probably something let me think

2988
03:31:18,740 --> 03:31:22,740
well okay maybe maybe how you failed me for the last time

2989
03:31:22,740 --> 03:31:26,740
commander when it comes to socks no I'm ill serious this though

2990
03:31:26,740 --> 03:31:30,740
the latest sample is very promising very very promising

2991
03:31:30,740 --> 03:31:34,740
super quick drying oh yeah right I forgot one of the other things that I told you

2992
03:31:34,740 --> 03:31:38,740
couldn't do is shed really didn't ask for much

2993
03:31:40,740 --> 03:31:44,740
tell us another cool project you've already leaked everything that's upcoming

2994
03:31:44,740 --> 03:31:48,740
so what was something that you did in the past other than this

2995
03:31:50,740 --> 03:31:54,740
in the past that I've done other than this I mean super soft I worked on and that was a lot of fun

2996
03:31:54,740 --> 03:31:58,740
oh yeah that hoodie is doing really well the super soft hoodie on the store

2997
03:31:58,740 --> 03:32:02,740
I mean it's right in the name it's super soft what did you do for that

2998
03:32:02,740 --> 03:32:06,740
so I mean I do everything in regards to testing

2999
03:32:06,740 --> 03:32:10,740
to make sure that it has a really good dimensional stability wash

3000
03:32:10,740 --> 03:32:14,740
I do everything in regards to color fastness to make sure that you don't see

3001
03:32:14,740 --> 03:32:18,740
any color transfer when you wear it stuff like that

3002
03:32:18,740 --> 03:32:22,740
even for a lot of the reorders making sure that it is relatively the same

3003
03:32:22,740 --> 03:32:26,740
so a lot of the testing that I do also mimics is trying

3004
03:32:26,740 --> 03:32:30,740
it's best to mimic the real world environments that it's in so

3005
03:32:30,740 --> 03:32:34,740
pilling we do as much as we can while also being very very soft

3006
03:32:34,740 --> 03:32:38,740
oh that's a fun one so I had you mimic

3007
03:32:38,740 --> 03:32:42,740
the sound that I made when I first saw

3008
03:32:44,740 --> 03:32:48,740
what was it I think the oh yeah the water color change

3009
03:32:48,740 --> 03:32:52,740
materials can you tell us the sound you made when you saw

3010
03:32:52,740 --> 03:32:56,740
the me get validated by Project Farm

3011
03:32:56,740 --> 03:33:00,740
with his washing methodology for our t-shirt

3012
03:33:00,740 --> 03:33:04,740
oh my god the whole fashion team we were all just like

3013
03:33:04,740 --> 03:33:08,740
what do you mean that you threw them all in the wash all at the same time

3014
03:33:08,740 --> 03:33:12,740
just randomly on a high heat and you were just like are you kidding me

3015
03:33:14,740 --> 03:33:18,740
see I've told them for years

3016
03:33:18,740 --> 03:33:22,740
one of the things that I'm always riding the fashion team about is

3017
03:33:22,740 --> 03:33:26,740
what's shrink

3018
03:33:26,740 --> 03:33:30,740
shrinkage dimensional stability to wash yeah and they're always

3019
03:33:30,740 --> 03:33:34,740
like well it's not really a problem if people

3020
03:33:34,740 --> 03:33:38,740
take care of their garments properly and I'm like they won't you have to

3021
03:33:38,740 --> 03:33:42,740
understand our customer is not going to and so I'm always getting

3022
03:33:42,740 --> 03:33:46,740
this push back on like well as long as we provide really clear

3023
03:33:46,740 --> 03:33:50,740
as long as we provide really clear care instructions then it should be fine

3024
03:33:50,740 --> 03:33:54,740
and you know it shouldn't be a huge problem like no they're just going to

3025
03:33:54,740 --> 03:33:58,740
have them in the washing machine and then they're just going to have them in the dryer and so

3026
03:33:58,740 --> 03:34:02,740
when Todd did his test and uploaded his video I immediately

3027
03:34:02,740 --> 03:34:06,740
cc'd the entire fashion team and I was like

3028
03:34:06,740 --> 03:34:10,740
see we have to be ready for that

3029
03:34:10,740 --> 03:34:14,740
everything that we did led us up to this moment when we were the

3030
03:34:14,740 --> 03:34:18,740
highest overall rated t-shirt in Todd's test and if we

3031
03:34:18,740 --> 03:34:22,740
hadn't if we hadn't had our super low shrinkage

3032
03:34:22,740 --> 03:34:26,740
we wouldn't have won it's true

3033
03:34:26,740 --> 03:34:30,740
all right I've got a monthly power bill here for you

3034
03:34:30,740 --> 03:34:34,740
oh no do you want to take a guess uh

3035
03:34:34,740 --> 03:34:37,740
man I feel like this is going to be like Lucille

3036
03:34:37,740 --> 03:34:40,740
Lucille Bluff guessing at the price of it

3037
03:34:40,740 --> 03:34:44,740
how much could power cost 1.2 million dollars yeah um

3038
03:34:44,740 --> 03:34:48,740
I honestly just have absolutely no idea I'm going to say

3039
03:34:54,740 --> 03:34:58,740
$2,800 a month uh okay you gotta

3040
03:34:58,740 --> 03:35:02,740
go to Dan go to Dan get the it's just under five grand

3041
03:35:02,740 --> 03:35:06,740
what but that also includes gas what what do you mean

3042
03:35:06,740 --> 03:35:10,740
it includes gas what gas for the shop

3043
03:35:10,740 --> 03:35:14,740
for the shop what gas do they use what gas

3044
03:35:14,740 --> 03:35:18,740
oh like natural gas oh we use almost no

3045
03:35:18,740 --> 03:35:22,740
natural gas we have that one radiant tube left and we hardly ever

3046
03:35:22,740 --> 03:35:26,740
we hardly ever touch it because it's loud um well it's not loud

3047
03:35:26,740 --> 03:35:30,740
there's a fan next to it that is loud because otherwise it just heats the one

3048
03:35:30,740 --> 03:35:34,740
side and it doesn't blow any of the heat way way cheaper than I was expecting

3049
03:35:34,740 --> 03:35:38,740
really well we're in BC so like well absolutely it is

3050
03:35:38,740 --> 03:35:42,740
a place that has very very inexpensive power relative

3051
03:35:42,740 --> 03:35:46,740
to most of the world but uh and we have a lot of power hungry stuff

3052
03:35:46,740 --> 03:35:50,740
five grand a month

3053
03:35:50,740 --> 03:35:54,740
huh that's like a whole employee if we just

3054
03:35:54,740 --> 03:35:58,740
didn't use any electricity we could hire like an assistant for Tatiana think of it

3055
03:35:58,740 --> 03:36:02,740
what do you think should we stop using electricity we'll just switch to paper

3056
03:36:02,740 --> 03:36:06,740
and pencil candlelight oh god candlelight yeah I'm down

3057
03:36:06,740 --> 03:36:10,740
could you find us the best candles that have the optimal like light throw to

3058
03:36:10,740 --> 03:36:14,740
oh yeah we would be measuring the luminescence we would be doing all

3059
03:36:14,740 --> 03:36:18,740
that oh of course and I got like a 5500 kelvin candle

3060
03:36:18,740 --> 03:36:22,740
like Andrew Andrew would kill us can we do that

3061
03:36:22,740 --> 03:36:26,740
yeah we need like a lighter blue candle otherwise the lighting

3062
03:36:26,740 --> 03:36:30,740
for the cameras that we'll have to charge outside are gonna be like pretty bad

3063
03:36:30,740 --> 03:36:34,740
um alright how do I not know about this

3064
03:36:34,740 --> 03:36:38,740
two minute warning I guess it kind of makes sense

3065
03:36:38,740 --> 03:36:42,740
because I didn't I never asked anybody um actually that's not true

3066
03:36:42,740 --> 03:36:46,740
I have asked Yvonne before but she wasn't sure either

3067
03:36:46,740 --> 03:36:50,740
it's it's been uh it's been on the accounting team to sort

3068
03:36:50,740 --> 03:36:54,740
these things out for quite some time now huh

3069
03:36:54,740 --> 03:36:58,740
alright don't think about it

3070
03:36:58,740 --> 03:37:02,740
that's probably the safest thing realistically

3071
03:37:02,740 --> 03:37:06,740
jeez man think about how many computers you have going on yeah look at all these computers

3072
03:37:06,740 --> 03:37:08,740
we're building for charity isn't that cool

3073
03:37:10,740 --> 03:37:14,740
I won't be paying my power bills with them we're gonna be feeding

3074
03:37:14,740 --> 03:37:18,740
the the the the people there we're gonna be donating we our plan

3075
03:37:18,740 --> 03:37:22,740
is a local food bank we haven't figured out exactly which one I don't think

3076
03:37:22,740 --> 03:37:26,740
yet um Jordan just told me the plan is

3077
03:37:26,740 --> 03:37:30,740
a local food bank because it seems like the right thing to do this time of year

3078
03:37:30,740 --> 03:37:34,740
okay let's go ahead and get my power supply plugged in jeez

3079
03:37:34,740 --> 03:37:38,740
I'm trying I'm trying my best you are very trying no I

3080
03:37:38,740 --> 03:37:42,740
I'm kidding I'm kidding it's just you walked right into it you walked right into it I know I did

3081
03:37:42,740 --> 03:37:46,740
I really did I had to take the bait I'm sorry I don't actually mean that anyway

3082
03:37:46,740 --> 03:37:50,740
the point the point is um

3083
03:37:50,740 --> 03:37:54,740
okay one minute oh shoot um okay you need to turn this fan around

3084
03:37:54,740 --> 03:37:58,740
the other I do okay uh yeah um yeah

3085
03:37:58,740 --> 03:38:02,740
you can use that one too and that one is gonna be more work to move because you

3086
03:38:02,740 --> 03:38:06,740
need to um put the metal bracket on the other way

3087
03:38:06,740 --> 03:38:10,740
on the other way okay yeah I'm sorry you're no it's fine you know what

3088
03:38:10,740 --> 03:38:14,740
considering that you have have had only half an hour you have made

3089
03:38:14,740 --> 03:38:18,740
excellent progress for a first time builder so what made you volunteer for

3090
03:38:18,740 --> 03:38:22,740
this if you've never built a computer before I told Jordan I was like

3091
03:38:22,740 --> 03:38:26,740
I've never really done this before are you sure he's like yeah we're gonna have different skill

3092
03:38:26,740 --> 03:38:30,740
levels I'm like okay I'm down but I then I saw that it was timed

3093
03:38:30,740 --> 03:38:34,740
and I'm like I do not do very good things under pressure

3094
03:38:34,740 --> 03:38:38,740
everyone in the comments is probably saying who is this girl and why does

3095
03:38:38,740 --> 03:38:42,740
she not know anything I'm really sorry no no she knows lots of stuff just

3096
03:38:42,740 --> 03:38:46,740
not about this you're doing better than Dennis and that's okay

3097
03:38:46,740 --> 03:38:50,740
um yeah yeah you've gotten less done but you've also gotten

3098
03:38:50,740 --> 03:38:54,740
less done incorrectly okay so like he got more done

3099
03:38:54,740 --> 03:38:58,740
but a lot of it was wrong I would say I would say doing

3100
03:38:58,740 --> 03:39:02,740
less right is better than doing more wrong so this way in general

3101
03:39:02,740 --> 03:39:06,740
like it's I don't know

3102
03:39:06,740 --> 03:39:10,740
yeah it's better to do it's better to do a little bit right

3103
03:39:10,740 --> 03:39:14,740
okay there should be some hot glue in the box to just kind of

3104
03:39:14,740 --> 03:39:18,740
hot glue okay what are we talking about

3105
03:39:18,740 --> 03:39:22,740
was I supposed to need hot glue for something I have not used any hot glue

3106
03:39:24,740 --> 03:39:28,740
is no one gonna clarify that for me or no I'm just on my own okay

3107
03:39:28,740 --> 03:39:32,740
that may be what you call a joke oh is joke

3108
03:39:34,740 --> 03:39:38,740
End your own time by the way I am doing

3109
03:39:38,740 --> 03:39:42,740
I am almost done where did I put my screws

3110
03:39:42,740 --> 03:39:46,740
for this power supply there they are one two three four

3111
03:39:46,740 --> 03:39:50,740
okay so what was um I guess you don't

3112
03:39:50,740 --> 03:39:54,740
have a time what was my time for the last one the last one in this case

3113
03:39:54,740 --> 03:39:58,740
was 40 minutes and 30 seconds dude I'm gonna be so far under

3114
03:39:58,740 --> 03:40:02,740
that on this one I got this okay it's time for

3115
03:40:02,740 --> 03:40:06,740
oh no I haven't done the GPU yet oh for crying out loud is Nick starting now

3116
03:40:06,740 --> 03:40:10,740
oh boar head starts I really shouldn't have let myself fall behind

3117
03:40:10,740 --> 03:40:14,740
at the very beginning that that was my mistake today

3118
03:40:14,740 --> 03:40:18,740
to be fair I did delay us an hour

3119
03:40:18,740 --> 03:40:22,740
you did what now I delayed us an hour well no I mean

3120
03:40:22,740 --> 03:40:26,740
it wasn't your fault that the internet went out at the building unless it was your fault

3121
03:40:26,740 --> 03:40:30,740
in which case bad damn um might have been his fault

3122
03:40:30,740 --> 03:40:34,740
can we actually know for sure that it wasn't no not my fault it wasn't you

3123
03:40:34,740 --> 03:40:38,740
okay I think it was my fault that the rest of the company was down

3124
03:40:38,740 --> 03:40:42,740
for about too long okay cool

3125
03:40:44,740 --> 03:40:46,740
oh man

3126
03:40:48,740 --> 03:40:52,740
this whole time I had this concept of that I would have my laptop for chat

3127
03:40:52,740 --> 03:40:56,740
and then I accidentally knocked my laptop off a desk earlier and then I haven't

3128
03:40:56,740 --> 03:41:00,740
had I haven't had any any chat I've had no idea what's going

3129
03:41:00,740 --> 03:41:04,740
on are people even enjoying this Dan yeah they seem to be like they can't believe

3130
03:41:04,740 --> 03:41:08,740
it's been still entertaining after three or so hours um

3131
03:41:08,740 --> 03:41:12,740
tell Tatiana she's doing a great job oh my god who is this girl

3132
03:41:12,740 --> 03:41:16,740
and why can't she be on more lol get wrecked Dennis

3133
03:41:16,740 --> 03:41:20,740
she is on more you just have to subscribe to Floatplane Tatiana has actually had

3134
03:41:20,740 --> 03:41:24,740
uh you did a couple exclusives I think on Floatplane

3135
03:41:24,740 --> 03:41:28,740
what was the one you did by yourself the oh the backpack the mining

3136
03:41:28,740 --> 03:41:32,740
mining backpack I've done I've also done a deep dive

3137
03:41:32,740 --> 03:41:36,740
into how we test for materials so that one I had also done

3138
03:41:36,740 --> 03:41:40,740
if anyone wants to also see me say that you have to follow the care instructions

3139
03:41:40,740 --> 03:41:44,740
then I get roasted in the comments saying we're not going to follow it anyways I'm like

3140
03:41:44,740 --> 03:41:48,740
well okay suits yourself do but if you want the longevity

3141
03:41:48,740 --> 03:41:50,740
longevity of your clothes you probably should

3142
03:41:52,740 --> 03:41:56,740
so if you want to get lectured by Tatiana if that's your thing

3143
03:41:56,740 --> 03:42:00,740
then feel free to subscribe to Floatplane you were also

3144
03:42:00,740 --> 03:42:04,740
heavily involved in the one where we we all tried out

3145
03:42:04,740 --> 03:42:08,740
and talked about the $400 Zuckerberg t-shirt yeah the Brinello

3146
03:42:08,740 --> 03:42:12,740
Cuccinelli yeah and then also the teeth boots if you've seen

3147
03:42:12,740 --> 03:42:16,740
that if you have no idea what you're talking about go check it out essentially we

3148
03:42:16,740 --> 03:42:20,740
3d print some fangs onto a shoe and we get to use a lot of the equipment

3149
03:42:20,740 --> 03:42:24,740
around the office and Labs in order to do so so that was super fun

3150
03:42:24,740 --> 03:42:28,740
and we have some fun upcoming ones too oh are you in some more exclusives

3151
03:42:28,740 --> 03:42:32,740
that are coming up yeah are you gonna are you gonna leak them like you leak

3152
03:42:32,740 --> 03:42:36,740
everything no this one I can't oh really this one I can't oh interesting

3153
03:42:36,740 --> 03:42:40,740
because I think there's some people who'd be very upset if I did oh okay

3154
03:42:40,740 --> 03:42:44,740
other names Sammy oh no

3155
03:42:44,740 --> 03:42:48,740
oh okay so this is like very top secret do I even know about this

3156
03:42:48,740 --> 03:42:52,740
no you don't and that's all I'll say oh I'm not gonna say anymore

3157
03:42:52,740 --> 03:42:56,740
oh good I love surprises especially surprises

3158
03:42:56,740 --> 03:43:00,740
like I don't know if this 4070 super is

3159
03:43:00,740 --> 03:43:04,740
actually gonna fit in this case um

3160
03:43:04,740 --> 03:43:08,740

oh my gosh this may be

3168
03:43:36,740 --> 03:43:40,740
the tightest GPU fit that I have ever seen

3169
03:43:40,740 --> 03:43:44,740
there we go we are

3170
03:43:44,740 --> 03:43:48,740
here hold on here let me find

3171
03:43:48,740 --> 03:43:52,740
here this number two Phillips

3172
03:43:54,740 --> 03:43:58,740
friction fits between this GPU

3173
03:43:58,740 --> 03:44:00,740
and the fan here

3174
03:44:02,740 --> 03:44:06,740
that's how tight it is oh god

3175
03:44:06,740 --> 03:44:10,740
hilarious cool let's get this power plugged in

3176
03:44:10,740 --> 03:44:12,740
and then let's find out if there's bad boy posts

3177
03:44:16,740 --> 03:44:20,740
I know this one can go on the side

3178
03:44:20,740 --> 03:44:24,740
they go on the far end you're doing great

3179
03:44:24,740 --> 03:44:28,740
chat's getting antsy which one of you two is taller

3180
03:44:30,740 --> 03:44:34,740
I guess they're being back to back let's stop

3181
03:44:38,740 --> 03:44:42,740
not by much I am not

3182
03:44:42,740 --> 03:44:46,740
I got those teeth boots okay well which one is it

yes I won for once it's your shoes

3185
03:44:54,740 --> 03:44:58,740
yeah I think you wear higher shoes than me

3186
03:44:58,740 --> 03:45:02,740
well in general I've seen some high shoes

3187
03:45:02,740 --> 03:45:06,740
someone just turn this on I haven't screwed the GPU in yet

3188
03:45:08,740 --> 03:45:10,740
I mean she's probably fine

3189
03:45:12,740 --> 03:45:16,740
oh man okay sure

3190
03:45:16,740 --> 03:45:20,740
jeez we have fun here

3191
03:45:22,740 --> 03:45:26,740

3192
03:45:26,740 --> 03:45:30,740
was it always dude I am

3193
03:45:30,740 --> 03:45:34,740

03:45:34,740 --> 03:45:38,740
wait yeah yes it's kind of turning into a blur

3195
03:45:38,740 --> 03:45:42,740
not gonna lie all my RGB on

3196
03:45:42,740 --> 03:45:46,740
okay yeah that one was quite a bit faster 36 minutes 30 seconds

3197
03:45:46,740 --> 03:45:50,740
36 minutes all right go go go go go go go

3198
03:45:50,740 --> 03:45:54,740
yeah I tried nice job

3199
03:45:54,740 --> 03:45:58,740
all right good stuff merch messages

3200
03:45:58,740 --> 03:46:02,740
wait did you take my did you take this

3201
03:46:02,740 --> 03:46:06,740
no I just moved it I just moved it

3202
03:46:06,740 --> 03:46:10,740
okay I'm sorry no I was just wondering where my screw tray went

3203
03:46:10,740 --> 03:46:14,740
I was using the power supply packaging as a screw tray anyway all right thanks Tatiana

3204
03:46:14,740 --> 03:46:18,740
okay bye all right

3205
03:46:18,740 --> 03:46:22,740
it's Nick what a big dog

3206
03:46:22,740 --> 03:46:26,740
so I saw some speculation there was no way

3207
03:46:26,740 --> 03:46:30,740
that I could actually have been cruel enough

3208
03:46:30,740 --> 03:46:34,740
to blindside you with that secret shopping LTTstore.com

3209
03:46:34,740 --> 03:46:38,740
video there was no way I could have

3210
03:46:38,740 --> 03:46:42,740
possibly been that cruel all fake totally fake

3211
03:46:42,740 --> 03:46:46,740
what would you what would you have to say to that

3212
03:46:46,740 --> 03:46:50,740
accusation he's crueler than you know

3213
03:46:50,740 --> 03:46:54,740
no it was not the way I wanted to spend

3214
03:46:54,740 --> 03:46:58,740
what was that a Friday afternoon I will say

3215
03:46:58,740 --> 03:47:02,740
so thanks for that I think it turned out

3216
03:47:02,740 --> 03:47:06,740
okay it wasn't perfect I thought that

3217
03:47:06,740 --> 03:47:10,740
I thought that we came out looking overall like we have

3218
03:47:10,740 --> 03:47:14,740
our heart in the right place and like we are

3219
03:47:14,740 --> 03:47:18,740
improving and like we are committed

3220
03:47:18,740 --> 03:47:22,740
to almost an unhealthy degree to transparency

3221
03:47:22,740 --> 03:47:26,740
yep I think that is a fair assessment

3222
03:47:26,740 --> 03:47:30,740
and based on how sales are going for the store this Black Friday Cyber Monday

3223
03:47:30,740 --> 03:47:34,740
I'd say people overall have pretty high faith

3224
03:47:34,740 --> 03:47:38,740
in the team and the store I agree

3225
03:47:38,740 --> 03:47:42,740
but no it was absolutely real if you guys didn't see it we did a video recently

3226
03:47:42,740 --> 03:47:46,740
secret shopping my own store I think is the title or something

3227
03:47:46,740 --> 03:47:50,740
along those lines secret shop my store

3228
03:47:50,740 --> 03:47:54,740
you can tell that it's burned into his memory I do a lot of videos

3229
03:47:54,740 --> 03:47:58,740
I don't know I forget some of them but the point is that

3230
03:47:58,740 --> 03:48:02,740
Nick got brought on to set had no idea what was going on

3231
03:48:02,740 --> 03:48:06,740
don't look at the script don't look at the teleprompter

3232
03:48:06,740 --> 03:48:10,740
and watch his team

3233
03:48:10,740 --> 03:48:14,740
get an honest third party review from a handful

3234
03:48:14,740 --> 03:48:18,740
of our community members who I think

3235
03:48:18,740 --> 03:48:22,740
really took the task very seriously

3236
03:48:22,740 --> 03:48:26,740
I think so I think there was even some feedback where people were like

3237
03:48:26,740 --> 03:48:30,740
oh this person was too harsh and it's like no that was like their job

3238
03:48:30,740 --> 03:48:34,740
they were supposed to be harsh they were harsh

3239
03:48:34,740 --> 03:48:38,740
that's why we asked them to be a part of it and in order to keep ourselves honest

3240
03:48:38,740 --> 03:48:42,740
we went out of our way to choose members of the community

3241
03:48:42,740 --> 03:48:46,740
that would have a strong voice if we were anything other than

3242
03:48:46,740 --> 03:48:50,740
completely honest and transparent and

3243
03:48:50,740 --> 03:48:54,740
high integrity about the whole situation because we could have easily

3244
03:48:54,740 --> 03:48:58,740
secret shopped our store by just hiring someone to secret shop it

3245
03:48:58,740 --> 03:49:02,740
and then provided us with the results privately that would totally been a thing that we could do

3246
03:49:02,740 --> 03:49:04,740
but it wouldn't have been nearly as entertaining

3247
03:49:06,740 --> 03:49:10,740
I don't think this made the cut but like three or four times throughout the entire video

3248
03:49:10,740 --> 03:49:14,740
he was like you know what this would be stressful

3249
03:49:14,740 --> 03:49:18,740
but I'm just having fun watching you squirm and I was like cool

3250
03:49:18,740 --> 03:49:22,740
that feels good it was fun

3251
03:49:24,740 --> 03:49:28,740
well the thing is I knew about the concept

3252
03:49:28,740 --> 03:49:32,740
but I didn't actually know any of the results either so I was sitting there

3253
03:49:32,740 --> 03:49:36,740
like super stressed as well

3254
03:49:36,740 --> 03:49:40,740
but his reactions were just so funny

3255
03:49:42,740 --> 03:49:46,740
I couldn't help it and it was so good we have fun here

3256
03:49:48,740 --> 03:49:52,740
alright Jordan what am I supposed to be doing am I supposed to guess anything

3257
03:49:52,740 --> 03:49:56,740
are we playing any guessing games well yeah hit me you gotta interrupt

3258
03:49:56,740 --> 03:50:00,740
and let me know I'm sitting here stalling for time half the time

3259
03:50:00,740 --> 03:50:04,740
I I built the last one in 27 minutes

3260
03:50:06,740 --> 03:50:10,740
alright here we go don't worry about it

3261
03:50:10,740 --> 03:50:14,740
who's counting you asked me to count

3262
03:50:14,740 --> 03:50:18,740
alright let's get in your way back machine here 2014-2015

3263
03:50:18,740 --> 03:50:22,740
what number is this number 7 Dan

3264
03:50:22,740 --> 03:50:26,740
should I throw it up bless sure

3265
03:50:26,740 --> 03:50:30,740
oh well that's kind of an easy one guess what video that was

3266
03:50:30,740 --> 03:50:34,740
that was our 4k gaming PC build guide

3267
03:50:34,740 --> 03:50:38,740
so that would have been our top viewed video that year

3268
03:50:38,740 --> 03:50:42,740
2.1 million what year was it

3269
03:50:42,740 --> 03:50:46,740
I've already forgotten 14-15

3270
03:50:46,740 --> 03:50:50,740
so do you think you made that thumbnail or do you think I made that thumbnail

3271
03:50:50,740 --> 03:50:54,740
can you put it back up again let me see it was madeinpaint.net

3272
03:50:54,740 --> 03:50:58,740
and we had like a standard process I believe I did that one

3273
03:50:58,740 --> 03:51:02,740
yeah okay yeah I'm pretty sure I did that one we didn't have

3274
03:51:02,740 --> 03:51:06,740
like any actual people who know how to use photoshop or anything

3275
03:51:06,740 --> 03:51:10,740
that's just like there's this oh man there's this

3276
03:51:10,740 --> 03:51:14,740
site something vandermote and something where you can download a drop shadow plugin

3277
03:51:14,740 --> 03:51:18,740
for paint.net and I just had like a standard

3278
03:51:18,740 --> 03:51:22,740
offset and standard blur and I would just put text

3279
03:51:22,740 --> 03:51:26,740
on top of a screen grab from the video which was like kind of

3280
03:51:26,740 --> 03:51:30,740
fine because by then Brandon was working here and doing nice B

3281
03:51:30,740 --> 03:51:34,740
roll for our videos and that was it that was our thumbnail design

3282
03:51:34,740 --> 03:51:38,740
we actually continued to use that for the WAN Show up until

3283
03:51:38,740 --> 03:51:42,740
I guess a number of months back I actually remade

3284
03:51:42,740 --> 03:51:46,740
this exact paint.net look in photoshop

3285
03:51:46,740 --> 03:51:50,740
amazing so that it could stay consistent nice

3286
03:51:50,740 --> 03:51:54,740
and it's way more templatized now so it's easier to do rather than having to do all of it

3287
03:51:54,740 --> 03:51:58,740
manually every single thumbnail and the reason the WAN Show

3288
03:51:58,740 --> 03:52:02,740
was done like that up until basically now

3289
03:52:02,740 --> 03:52:06,740
because we never decided on a title and thumbnail concept

3290
03:52:06,740 --> 03:52:10,740
until right as we were about to go live and by then we couldn't count on anyone

3291
03:52:10,740 --> 03:52:14,740
other than me to be in office until

3292
03:52:14,740 --> 03:52:18,740
now we have a producer for the show finally

3293
03:52:18,740 --> 03:52:22,740
so it had to be something that I could do and

3294
03:52:22,740 --> 03:52:26,740
with all the other stuff I have going on I'm not going to learn photoshop anytime soon

3295
03:52:26,740 --> 03:52:30,740
so well now it's a template so you don't even have to just drop in

3296
03:52:30,740 --> 03:52:34,740
the thumbnail and type in the text and you're done Dan, you know for a fact

3297
03:52:34,740 --> 03:52:38,740
you know for a fact that if I had to do it again for some reason I would use paint.net

3298
03:52:38,740 --> 03:52:42,740
there would be probably a bigger problem if you ever had to do it

3299
03:52:42,740 --> 03:52:46,740
yeah probably it could come up though

3300
03:52:46,740 --> 03:52:50,740
you never know are you looking at my homework?

3301
03:52:50,740 --> 03:52:54,740
are you cheating? when do you think the last time I built a PC was

3302
03:52:54,740 --> 03:52:58,740
like myself probably your gaming PC

3303
03:52:58,740 --> 03:53:02,740
so what was that? oh good lord hold on

3304
03:53:02,740 --> 03:53:06,740
well the last gaming PC that I built

3305
03:53:06,740 --> 03:53:10,740
the gaming PC I have now is a 39

3306
03:53:10,740 --> 03:53:14,740
50 60x

3307
03:53:14,740 --> 03:53:18,740
3900x and I didn't build it

3308
03:53:18,740 --> 03:53:22,740
but before that you had a fourth or 16 I had

3309
03:53:22,740 --> 03:53:26,740
a third gen Intel

3310
03:53:26,740 --> 03:53:30,740
was that for you or did you build that? I think Luke built that

3311
03:53:30,740 --> 03:53:34,740
and so I think the last time I built a PC from start to finish

3312
03:53:34,740 --> 03:53:38,740
was like second gen Intel okay so

3313
03:53:38,740 --> 03:53:42,740
then this will be a great test because for many years

3314
03:53:42,740 --> 03:53:46,740
Nick had to as part of his job watch all of our videos

3315
03:53:46,740 --> 03:53:50,740
because he would review them for things like if I said

3316
03:53:50,740 --> 03:53:54,740
some kind of joke that was too far over the line or you know whatever else

3317
03:53:54,740 --> 03:53:58,740
he would come and be like

3318
03:53:58,740 --> 03:54:02,740
you shouldn't say that how dare you question my authority

3319
03:54:02,740 --> 03:54:06,740
okay mom how dare you question my authority

3320
03:54:06,740 --> 03:54:10,740
anyway sorry go on I'm interrupting

3321
03:54:10,740 --> 03:54:14,740
so what we're going to find out is as someone who has watched all the build guides

3322
03:54:14,740 --> 03:54:18,740
probably not that 4k one I think that predates you

3323
03:54:18,740 --> 03:54:22,740
but as someone who has watched basically all the build guides how useful are they

3324
03:54:22,740 --> 03:54:26,740
will he be a PC building expert

3325
03:54:26,740 --> 03:54:30,740
should we do another should I put my RAM in the right slot?

3326
03:54:30,740 --> 03:54:34,740
sure it is amazing what a draw

3327
03:54:34,740 --> 03:54:38,740
like 4k was as a keyword

3328
03:54:38,740 --> 03:54:42,740
like if I did 4k gaming PC if I did 4k gaming

3329
03:54:42,740 --> 03:54:46,740
PC today yeah so you mean like

3330
03:54:46,740 --> 03:54:50,740
a gaming PC you know it's

3331
03:54:50,740 --> 03:54:54,740
no one cares build guides man build guides

3332
03:54:54,740 --> 03:54:58,740
every once in a while those videos will perform

3333
03:54:58,740 --> 03:55:02,740
like pretty good like I think the first person view one that we did

3334
03:55:02,740 --> 03:55:06,740
recently is finally picking up

3335
03:55:06,740 --> 03:55:10,740
but it started out as like the worst performer

3336
03:55:10,740 --> 03:55:14,740
that we'd uploaded in months it's man it's really tough even the

3337
03:55:14,740 --> 03:55:18,740
the last guide you'll ever need series it's a series now I guess

3338
03:55:18,740 --> 03:55:22,740
cause we did that second one man that

3339
03:55:22,740 --> 03:55:24,740
when we uploaded the updated one

3340
03:55:26,740 --> 03:55:30,740
like no one was watching it it's tough because

3341
03:55:30,740 --> 03:55:34,740
somehow we've gotta make it so that every video

3342
03:55:34,740 --> 03:55:38,740
or at least as many videos as possible are appealing both

3343
03:55:38,740 --> 03:55:42,740
to the folks who have been watching us since

3344
03:55:42,740 --> 03:55:46,740
those videos that we're showing you guys

3345
03:55:46,740 --> 03:55:50,740
and the folks who are tuning in for the first time and have never built a computer

3346
03:55:50,740 --> 03:55:54,740
that is an extremely difficult line

3347
03:55:54,740 --> 03:55:58,740
to straddle making it accessible to newcomers

3348
03:55:58,740 --> 03:56:02,740
and also not completely boring

3349
03:56:02,740 --> 03:56:06,740
to the folks who've been doing this for a long time it's not that we don't want to do more

3350
03:56:06,740 --> 03:56:10,740
basic PC tutorials and stuff it's just that

3351
03:56:10,740 --> 03:56:14,740
people give us a really hard time when we do like

3352
03:56:14,740 --> 03:56:18,740
we don't know that it's just building LEGO it's like no it's not

3353
03:56:18,740 --> 03:56:22,740
some people have never built LEGO before okay

3354
03:56:22,740 --> 03:56:26,740
you talk a lot huh LEGO bricks don't cost $4,000

3355
03:56:26,740 --> 03:56:30,740
here's my job some of them do

3356
03:56:30,740 --> 03:56:34,740
that's a whole kit just like one brick

3357
03:56:34,740 --> 03:56:38,740
that's fair alright Jordan do you want to give us another one

3358
03:56:38,740 --> 03:56:42,740
you ran into some shoutouts here oh shoutouts right

3359
03:56:42,740 --> 03:56:46,740
we've sent over 8 kits of RAM for our builds

3360
03:56:46,740 --> 03:56:50,740
here oh no I'll steal mine what am I looking at here

3361
03:56:50,740 --> 03:56:54,740
these are DDR5 kits 5,600 mega transfers per second

3362
03:56:54,740 --> 03:56:58,740
CL36 16GB 2 so these are 32GB kits

3363
03:56:58,740 --> 03:57:02,740
for our Intel based systems over here big shout out to them

3364
03:57:02,740 --> 03:57:06,740
and everyone else who provided parts for the stream today they're a big part

3365
03:57:06,740 --> 03:57:10,740
of why we're able to contribute so much to the local food bank

3366
03:57:10,740 --> 03:57:14,740
we're donating the proceeds from these systems too we've already sold all the systems

3367
03:57:14,740 --> 03:57:18,740
so if you're hoping to buy one I'm afraid it is too late

3368
03:57:18,740 --> 03:57:22,740
but huge thank you to everyone who did buy one of the systems

3369
03:57:22,740 --> 03:57:26,740
and huge thank you to everyone who provided hardware for them so I'm shouting out

3370
03:57:26,740 --> 03:57:30,740
Patriot and also CSonic CSonic you know that those guys are always

3371

in when we're doing something cool something wild

3372
03:57:34,740 --> 03:57:38,740
and CSonic didn't hesitate to send over 16 of their focus

3373
03:57:38,740 --> 03:57:42,740
DX750 power supply is 80 plus gold certified

3374
03:57:42,740 --> 03:57:46,740
modular interface got all the modern connectors

3375
03:57:46,740 --> 03:57:50,740
for modern GPUs be they AMD be they NVIDIA

3376
03:57:50,740 --> 03:57:54,740
and a great foundation for any gaming system

3377
03:57:54,740 --> 03:57:58,740
thank you CSonic for sending all of those over

3378
03:57:58,740 --> 03:58:02,740
alright let me get this out of my way get this out of my way

3379
03:58:02,740 --> 03:58:06,740
Jordan do you have any other stuff that I'm behind on

3380
03:58:06,740 --> 03:58:10,740
alright let's go 2015 2016 top video

3381
03:58:10,740 --> 03:58:14,740
top video you might even be able to remember these ones

3382
03:58:14,740 --> 03:58:18,740
now we're getting more modern I think I know what 2017 was

3383
03:58:18,740 --> 03:58:22,740
I'm gonna go with another build guide I'm gonna guess it's a build guide

3384
03:58:22,740 --> 03:58:26,740
I'm gonna say it was a silent PC build guide

3385
03:58:26,740 --> 03:58:30,740
I don't think this was silent Jordan this one's 8

3386
03:58:30,740 --> 03:58:34,740
do I get to see a thumbnail? have another guess

3387
03:58:34,740 --> 03:58:38,740
it's not silent it's extremely not silent

3388
03:58:38,740 --> 03:58:42,740
there is a build involved though extremely not silent

3389
03:58:42,740 --> 03:58:46,740
many monies lots of monies

3390
03:58:46,740 --> 03:58:50,740
oh I think I know what it is wait are we already up to

3391
03:58:50,740 --> 03:58:54,740
seven gamers? that can't be right no

3392
03:58:54,740 --> 03:58:58,740
extremely not silent I think I know what it is

3393
03:58:58,740 --> 03:59:02,740
is it the first compensator? no that was later

3394
03:59:02,740 --> 03:59:06,740
maybe that's a bit hyperbolic oh okay

3395
03:59:06,740 --> 03:59:10,740
it's not a silent build not silent build but it's a build

3396
03:59:10,740 --> 03:59:14,740
it's a build dude I do not know our back

3397
03:59:14,740 --> 03:59:18,740
catalog as well as I maybe thought that I did

3398
03:59:18,740 --> 03:59:22,740
yeah show me a thumbnail you were right

3399
03:59:22,740 --> 03:59:26,740
wait it was seven gamers I thought that was 2017

3400
03:59:26,740 --> 03:59:30,740
it was really quiet I knew it was January

3401
03:59:30,740 --> 03:59:34,740
the 30,000 dollar gaming PC

3402
03:59:34,740 --> 03:59:38,740
seven gamers once a year that was like the first video to ever get to a million views in like a day

3403
03:59:38,740 --> 03:59:42,740
in 24 hours it was the first one to do that

3404
03:59:42,740 --> 03:59:46,740
and you know what's funny as soon as that video was done

3405
03:59:46,740 --> 03:59:50,740
it had to be at CES so I had to drive

3406
03:59:50,740 --> 03:59:54,740
I forgot about that I had to drive the

3407
03:59:54,740 --> 03:59:58,740
expletive work vehicle

3408
03:59:58,740 --> 04:00:02,740
the XL7 I forgot about that

3409
04:00:02,740 --> 04:00:06,740
it was so bad do you remember when I almost died on the coca-cola

3410
04:00:06,740 --> 04:00:10,740
because I took that thing up when my grandpa died

3411
04:00:10,740 --> 04:00:14,740
it was like funeral and it was white out and the headlights were misaligned

3412
04:00:14,740 --> 04:00:18,740
so I was literally in the left lane and the only way I stayed alive on the drive

3413
04:00:18,740 --> 04:00:22,740
was that I could see the barrier so I was

3414
04:00:22,740 --> 04:00:26,740
three and a half hours white knuckle on the expletive coca-cola highway

3415
04:00:26,740 --> 04:00:30,740
not a good highway in the winter

3416
04:00:30,740 --> 04:00:34,740
headlamps going this way just like

3417
04:00:34,740 --> 04:00:38,740
anyway, that's another story I think that was the year after or something

3418
04:00:38,740 --> 04:00:42,740
but this time around I had to drive that thing

3419
04:00:42,740 --> 04:00:46,740
with the seven gamers 1CPU with all seven monitors

3420
04:00:46,740 --> 04:00:50,740
which all barely, barely fit tetrastyle into that Suzuki

3421
04:00:50,740 --> 04:00:54,740
down four and a half hours or something

3422
04:00:54,740 --> 04:00:58,740
to the middle of nowhere, Washington

3423
04:00:58,740 --> 04:01:02,740
to, do you remember who brought it to CES for us

3424
04:01:02,740 --> 04:01:06,740
wait someone did us like a huge

3425
04:01:06,740 --> 04:01:10,740
solid do you remember who it was Kingston

3426
04:01:10,740 --> 04:01:14,740
they were the ones who exhibited it oh, no it was bobbin rod

3427
04:01:14,740 --> 04:01:18,740
so I had to drive it down to bobbin rod because they were driving to Vegas

3428
04:01:18,740 --> 04:01:22,740
BS mods so like two days before CES I drive this thing down to Washington

3429
04:01:22,740 --> 04:01:26,740
get up with BS mods, drop off this crazy, I think it was in a server chassis

3430
04:01:26,740 --> 04:01:30,740
wasn't it? and there is no way that you declared that properly when you crossed the road

3431
04:01:30,740 --> 04:01:34,740
no, no, no, I got hassled on the way back well, because I had to, did I have to bring it back?

3432
04:01:34,740 --> 04:01:38,740
no, I got hassled on the way down because the guy was like

3433
04:01:38,740 --> 04:01:42,740
what do you do, you have like $30,000 of computer components, you're like importing these

3434
04:01:42,740 --> 04:01:46,740
and I was like, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah it's just there for like an exhibit

3435
04:01:46,740 --> 04:01:50,740
and they somehow let me in so that was the thing

3436
04:01:50,740 --> 04:01:54,740
I was very lucky, very many times so that was like a nine hour car trip

3437
04:01:54,740 --> 04:01:58,740
why did it pull on you to do this again? I don't remember

3438
04:01:58,740 --> 04:02:02,740
well, I was probably heading down to the show nobody else wanted to do it basically

3439
04:02:02,740 --> 04:02:06,740
so I was like, alright should be fun

3440
04:02:06,740 --> 04:02:10,740
that's just the stuff we did back in the day, man oh man

3441
04:02:10,740 --> 04:02:14,740
I forgot about that stupid XL7 dude, what a

3442
04:02:14,740 --> 04:02:18,740
so it was my parents SUV oh yeah, it was sketch

3443
04:02:18,740 --> 04:02:22,740
it was a nice car at some point

3444
04:02:22,740 --> 04:02:26,740
not when we had it it was not

3445
04:02:26,740 --> 04:02:30,740
it was better than literally nothing which was what we had before that

3446
04:02:30,740 --> 04:02:34,740
truly, it was better than what we had before do you remember how it hooked up

3447
04:02:34,740 --> 04:02:38,740
to the running lights for our trailer that we had at the time?

3448
04:02:38,740 --> 04:02:42,740
it just had that like yeah, just had that wire just like

3449
04:02:42,740 --> 04:02:46,740
hanging out the back and it was like you just hoped it hadn't corroded so much

3450
04:02:46,740 --> 04:02:50,740
that it wouldn't have gone any more every time it was so bad

3451
04:02:50,740 --> 04:02:54,740
I'm falling super behind we do things like so pro now

3452
04:02:54,740 --> 04:02:58,740
2016-17 then 2016-2017

3453
04:02:58,740 --> 04:03:02,740
I'm going to go with mineral, wait, no

3454
04:03:02,740 --> 04:03:06,740
mineral oil PC was way before that that was 2015

3455
04:03:06,740 --> 04:03:10,740
what is even time? I'm having a really hard time year's 2016-2017

3456
04:03:10,740 --> 04:03:14,740
and I'll give you this, the video came out in August of 2017 in August

3457
04:03:14,740 --> 04:03:18,740
2017, November to November yeah

3458
04:03:20,740 --> 04:03:24,740
was it eight gamers? no, no that one didn't do that well

3459
04:03:24,740 --> 04:03:28,740
really? that's why we haven't really continued the concept yeah, that's true

3460
04:03:28,740 --> 04:03:32,740
this one got 5.6 million views in the first year was it the blowy matron?

3461
04:03:32,740 --> 04:03:36,740
whoa no, this would

3462
04:03:36,740 --> 04:03:40,740
this would have to be like a mega bang

3463
04:03:40,740 --> 04:03:44,740
or video to do 5 million views why am I trying to like

3464
04:03:44,740 --> 04:03:48,740
remember when you guys hooked it up in the conference room? yeah, that did like 3 or 4

3465
04:03:48,740 --> 04:03:52,740
yeah, that one did pretty good but 5 million views in the first year

3466
04:03:52,740 --> 04:03:56,740
2017 I don't even know

3467
04:03:56,740 --> 04:04:00,740
I don't even know what it's a flat circle

3468
04:04:00,740 --> 04:04:04,740
so number 9 then show me

3469
04:04:04,740 --> 04:04:08,740
okay, what is it 16k gaming

3470
04:04:08,740 --> 04:04:12,740
with all the monitors of course it was

3471
04:04:12,740 --> 04:04:16,740
lol that is a

3472
04:04:16,740 --> 04:04:20,740
banger thumbnail I don't even think it's that good of a video

3473
04:04:20,740 --> 04:04:24,740
by today's standards it's kind of all over the place

3474
04:04:24,740 --> 04:04:28,740
narratively it's not very information dense

3475
04:04:28,740 --> 04:04:32,740
I'm not convinced that the whole higher and higher resolution

3476
04:04:32,740 --> 04:04:36,740
gaming thing would have any legs today

3477
04:04:36,740 --> 04:04:40,740
but yeah it's an absolute banger

3478
04:04:40,740 --> 04:04:44,740
it goes to show you how the race to more k's

3479
04:04:44,740 --> 04:04:48,740
mattered so much back then like people cared and were talking about it

3480
04:04:48,740 --> 04:04:52,740
two of our top performer of the year videos

3481
04:04:52,740 --> 04:04:56,740
have been gaming with some number of k's and in fact

3482
04:04:56,740 --> 04:05:00,740
I think we had an 8k gaming one that would have probably been close to some of these

3483
04:05:00,740 --> 04:05:04,740
it was like 2nd or 3rd one of the years what was that? that was with 41080p monitors

3484
04:05:04,740 --> 04:05:08,740
yeah the next year then

3485
04:05:08,740 --> 04:05:12,740
is a build so 2017-18

3486
04:05:12,740 --> 04:05:16,740
have we not kept up with these?

3487
04:05:16,740 --> 04:05:20,740
oh my goodness next time just interrupt

3488
04:05:20,740 --> 04:05:24,740
me because I really am a lot of the time you've been doing lots of things

3489
04:05:24,740 --> 04:05:28,740
just talking yeah so 2017-18

3490
04:05:28,740 --> 04:05:32,740
2017-2018 6.4 million views

3491
04:05:32,740 --> 04:05:36,740
now we're getting into the modern era

3492
04:05:36,740 --> 04:05:40,740
and I'll tell you it's a build it's a build

3493
04:05:42,740 --> 04:05:46,740
this is tough because I um

3494
04:05:46,740 --> 04:05:50,740
how many videos are we up to like total

3495
04:05:50,740 --> 04:05:54,740
6000 or something? this is 10th year yet

3496
04:05:54,740 --> 04:05:58,740
the number of times these days that I

3497
04:05:58,740 --> 04:06:02,740
someone will send me a clip or a gif or a link to a video

3498
04:06:02,740 --> 04:06:06,740
and I watch it and I go

3499
04:06:06,740 --> 04:06:10,740
I have no recollection of this that's because we were sending you around the world

3500
04:06:10,740 --> 04:06:14,740
like on a moment's notice dude I didn't sleep

3501
04:06:14,740 --> 04:06:18,740
those were crazy years it's a miracle I can remember

3502
04:06:18,740 --> 04:06:22,740
any of what was happening do you remember the time you went to the New York auto show?

3503
04:06:22,740 --> 04:06:26,740
I do I remember that very vividly

3504
04:06:26,740 --> 04:06:30,740
I literally found out right as we were going to the airport

3505
04:06:30,740 --> 04:06:34,740
at CES which is a very challenging week

3506
04:06:34,740 --> 04:06:38,740
at the best of times and back when I used to make that many videos during CES

3507
04:06:38,740 --> 04:06:42,740
it was crazy I was basically walking dead during CES

3508
04:06:42,740 --> 04:06:46,740
so I I got an offer from Ford

3509
04:06:46,740 --> 04:06:50,740
to come do some sponsored content for them at the New York auto show

3510
04:06:50,740 --> 04:06:54,740
I'm struggling with this fan what am I doing?

3511
04:06:54,740 --> 04:06:58,740
I'm on the other way the other way

3512
04:06:58,740 --> 04:07:02,740
yeah yeah okay and then you just stretch it

3513
04:07:02,740 --> 04:07:06,740
and then there's ponder and over ponder and oh yeah yeah

3514
04:07:06,740 --> 04:07:10,740
I'll just have that so they wanted me to come down there

3515
04:07:10,740 --> 04:07:14,740
to go to New York and do some sponsored content

3516
04:07:14,740 --> 04:07:18,740
and they go now and I kind of go

3517
04:07:18,740 --> 04:07:22,740
what? so we waffled and waffled

3518
04:07:22,740 --> 04:07:26,740
and things were tough back then basically

3519
04:07:26,740 --> 04:07:30,740
every opportunity that came in I was looking at it going okay well how much salaries

3520
04:07:30,740 --> 04:07:34,740
does it cover and it was just

3521
04:07:34,740 --> 04:07:38,740
Instagram I think they didn't even post it

3522
04:07:38,740 --> 04:07:42,740
no no that's a whole other thing we posted our stuff

3523
04:07:42,740 --> 04:07:46,740
but it was just like a couple Instagram posts we didn't even have that many followers on Instagram

3524
04:07:46,740 --> 04:07:50,740
I was like are you sure you don't want a YouTube video or something

3525
04:07:50,740 --> 04:07:54,740
no no Instagram so anyway

3526
04:07:54,740 --> 04:07:58,740
we didn't even notice what I'm using oh chat noticed

3527
04:07:58,740 --> 04:08:02,740
birch messages noticed we can talk a little bit later about how

3528
04:08:02,740 --> 04:08:06,740
that is not happening yet you're in your last minute here Linus

3529
04:08:06,740 --> 04:08:10,740
so maybe you don't have updates but it's like we're working on it

3530
04:08:10,740 --> 04:08:14,740
okay well we can talk about that later but anyway so they want us to go and do this

3531
04:08:14,740 --> 04:08:18,740
and it turned out that the way the trip

3532
04:08:18,740 --> 04:08:22,740
had to work was for me to

3533
04:08:22,740 --> 04:08:26,740
and in Vancouver I ate one meal

3534
04:08:26,740 --> 04:08:30,740
with my family and then I stayed

3535
04:08:30,740 --> 04:08:34,740
at the airport for a couple hours and boarded my flight to New York

3536
04:08:34,740 --> 04:08:38,740
you didn't even leave the airport no I never left the airport there was no point

3537
04:08:38,740 --> 04:08:42,740
it was so so stupid

3538
04:08:42,740 --> 04:08:46,740
but hey I met hey you're welcome

3539
04:08:46,740 --> 04:08:50,740
the video we're talking about is actually a travel video what?

3540
04:08:50,740 --> 04:08:54,740
with that many views? 6.4 million in the first year

3541
04:08:54,740 --> 04:08:58,740
traveling and building traveling and building

3542
04:08:58,740 --> 04:09:02,740
was that strange parts vlog let's go

3543
04:09:02,740 --> 04:09:06,740
strange parts vlog that was a banger

3544
04:09:06,740 --> 04:09:10,740
that was a banger video I don't know why it was a banger video I was in such rough shape

3545
04:09:10,740 --> 04:09:14,740
I was over there for a thing for one plus and I arranged

3546
04:09:14,740 --> 04:09:18,740
literally introduced myself to Scotty

3547
04:09:18,740 --> 04:09:22,740
I had never interacted with before and only knew from talking about his

3548
04:09:22,740 --> 04:09:26,740
wild iPhone experiments on the WAN Show so introduced myself to Scotty

3549
04:09:26,740 --> 04:09:30,740
invited myself to do a collab with him we coordinated

3550
04:09:30,740 --> 04:09:34,740
at time to get together and basically

3551
04:09:34,740 --> 04:09:38,740
I came up with this concept for the build which was that I was gonna

3552
04:09:38,740 --> 04:09:42,740
try to build a PC in China using all like you know brands I'd never heard of

3553
04:09:42,740 --> 04:09:46,740
and then I got over there and I saw a lot of comments on the video

3554
04:09:46,740 --> 04:09:50,740
like such a jerk to Scotty the truth is that I was just really stressed out

3555
04:09:50,740 --> 04:09:54,740
because what I realized part way into the build

3556
04:09:54,740 --> 04:09:58,740
was that there were no weird brands or anything it was just all the same stuff

3557
04:09:58,740 --> 04:10:02,740
so I was just building a PC

3558
04:10:02,740 --> 04:10:06,740
building a computer and it ended up taking all day

3559
04:10:06,740 --> 04:10:10,740
because I wasted a bunch of time trying to find like a unique

3560
04:10:10,740 --> 04:10:14,740
angle to the build or something and there ultimately wasn't one

3561
04:10:14,740 --> 04:10:18,740
that I could actually tell at the end of the video that I'm like in a public square

3562
04:10:18,740 --> 04:10:22,740
at night finishing building the computer because the mall

3563
04:10:22,740 --> 04:10:26,740
was like closed I just don't want to screw it up

3564
04:10:26,740 --> 04:10:30,740
whoops thanks um here

3565
04:10:30,740 --> 04:10:34,740
anyway the point is yeah Scotty was

3566
04:10:34,740 --> 04:10:38,740
an amazing host we had a lot of fun

3567
04:10:38,740 --> 04:10:42,740
and we can't do this yet because there's no way that these 8 pins

3568
04:10:42,740 --> 04:10:46,740
are going to get plugged in if you put it all the way in first

3569
04:10:46,740 --> 04:10:50,740
it's better to do this now more you know

3570
04:10:50,740 --> 04:10:54,740
yeah I was just super stressed because I really

3571
04:10:54,740 --> 04:10:58,740
needed to get a video done I didn't want to go all the way there and like

3572
04:10:58,740 --> 04:11:00,740
waste his time and not even like do a video together

3573
04:11:02,740 --> 04:11:06,740
and I just didn't think I didn't think there was going to be a video

3574
04:11:06,740 --> 04:11:10,740
and then it became the biggest video this year and then it became the biggest video this year

3575
04:11:10,740 --> 04:11:14,740
it's hilarious who can even tell sometimes

3576
04:11:14,740 --> 04:11:18,740
what's going to resonate with people there was another collab I was supposed to do

3577
04:11:18,740 --> 04:11:22,740
while I was over there that I am ultimately really glad that I didn't do

3578
04:11:22,740 --> 04:11:26,740
but yeah Scotty the Scotty collab was pretty great

3579
04:11:26,740 --> 04:11:30,740
a lot of fun well sort of fun it was fun when it was over

3580
04:11:30,740 --> 04:11:34,740
and you guys liked it that was the fun part everything else was actually not really fun

3581
04:11:34,740 --> 04:11:38,740
about making that video oh I would plug in your

3582
04:11:38,740 --> 04:11:42,740
sorry I would plug in your CPU cooler too alright where is it

3583
04:11:42,740 --> 04:11:46,740
ouch sorry sometimes my elbow does that

3584
04:11:46,740 --> 04:11:50,740
so your next one was not a build okay

3585
04:11:50,740 --> 04:11:54,740
was this 2018-19 2018-19

3586
04:11:54,740 --> 04:11:58,740
7.3 million views recency

3587
04:11:58,740 --> 04:12:02,740
18-19 more of a review I would say

3588
04:12:02,740 --> 04:12:06,740
a review that got 7 million views what kind of review gets 7 million views

3589
04:12:06,740 --> 04:12:10,740
you tell me you made it I mean

3590
04:12:10,740 --> 04:12:14,740
had to be a video right um

3591
04:12:14,740 --> 04:12:18,740
had to be like some kind of like really like wacky product

3592
04:12:18,740 --> 04:12:22,740
18 well so November 18 and November 19 were talking

3593
04:12:22,740 --> 04:12:26,740
yes this was from December 2018

3594
04:12:26,740 --> 04:12:30,740
December 2018 oh shoot

3595
04:12:30,740 --> 04:12:34,740
review review

3596
04:12:34,740 --> 04:12:38,740
you're over your time by the way if you want to see the tires we can move on to the next one

3597
04:12:38,740 --> 04:12:42,740
oh sorry no let's not let him

3598
04:12:42,740 --> 04:12:46,740
escape before he tells us more about the transparent screwdriver that's true yeah

3599
04:12:46,740 --> 04:12:50,740
you know what I give up I don't even know what the point of me trying to

3600
04:12:50,740 --> 04:12:54,740
guess these is because I have been in 2080 tie

3601
04:12:54,740 --> 04:12:58,740
that's the Walmart gaming pc Walmart gaming pc

3602
04:12:58,740 --> 04:13:02,740
what's that that long ago end of 2018

3603
04:13:02,740 --> 04:13:06,740
what you might be getting old

3604
04:13:06,740 --> 04:13:10,740
oh man that was six years ago

3605
04:13:10,740 --> 04:13:14,740
yep okay I can tell you the next year already I'm pretty sure that was the wish

3606
04:13:14,740 --> 04:13:18,740
you're correct wish pc okay okay I'm back on

3607
04:13:18,740 --> 04:13:22,740
what's the next one I'm back on track after the wish pc

3608
04:13:22,740 --> 04:13:26,740
am I supposed to keep just leave it you can keep going until he's done

3609
04:13:26,740 --> 04:13:30,740
and then you go over and build the next victim

3610
04:13:32,740 --> 04:13:36,740
nope it's not happening no sneeze I guess I don't get a sneeze

3611
04:13:36,740 --> 04:13:40,740
no sneeze for you was it ROG rig reboot

3612
04:13:40,740 --> 04:13:44,740
no but it is like an upgrade kind of thing

3613
04:13:44,740 --> 04:13:48,740
an upgrade was it the first extreme upgrade oh

3614
04:13:48,740 --> 04:13:52,740
yeah and was it an Intel extreme upgrade yep

3615
04:13:52,740 --> 04:13:56,740
Dennis yeah okay Dennis is Intel

3616
04:13:56,740 --> 04:14:00,740
I'm not going to screw anything more up dude that has like 9 million views or something stupid like that

3617
04:14:00,740 --> 04:14:04,740
or does it? no I don't think it does that's 6.6 I think it was the first year

3618
04:14:04,740 --> 04:14:08,740
6 million in the first year that's crazy okay hold on Nick before you go away

3619
04:14:08,740 --> 04:14:12,740
show us the screwdriver you were building with and explain yourself

3620
04:14:12,740 --> 04:14:16,740
what's going on here sir this is our clear transparent

3621
04:14:16,740 --> 04:14:20,740
screwdriver for LTTstore.com well I mean it's a lot of

3622
04:14:20,740 --> 04:14:24,740
sunk dollars if we don't actually make it so we've had

3623
04:14:24,740 --> 04:14:28,740
a lot of challenges making this clear plastic work

3624
04:14:28,740 --> 04:14:32,740
we started with a different type of clear plastic got further in development and then realized

3625
04:14:32,740 --> 04:14:36,740
that it wasn't going to be suitable for all of the scenarios that we needed to be suitable for so instead

3626
04:14:36,740 --> 04:14:40,740
of just being like screw it it'll be fine we decided nope we have to go back

3627
04:14:40,740 --> 04:14:44,740
to the drawing board and make it work we've had some small

3628
04:14:44,740 --> 04:14:48,740
difficulties with getting it across the line I'm trying to even see where the imperfection

3629
04:14:48,740 --> 04:14:52,740
here we go there it is so if you can zoom in on that Andy

3630
04:14:52,740 --> 04:14:56,740
that little mark there is the reason

3631
04:14:56,740 --> 04:15:00,740
that the clear screwdriver is not on the market today Kyle has another thing

3632
04:15:00,740 --> 04:15:04,740
that he doesn't like about it too I can show them oh ok

3633
04:15:04,740 --> 04:15:08,740
so basically we're having some challenges with the

3634
04:15:08,740 --> 04:15:12,740
mold flow of the plastics within the molds that we use today because there

3635
04:15:12,740 --> 04:15:16,740
are crossover molds between what we use in our regular ABS nylon

3636
04:15:16,740 --> 04:15:20,740
blend for the black and all the other college of screwdrivers that we make

3637
04:15:20,740 --> 04:15:24,740
as well as this clear and it's required quite a bit of

3638
04:15:24,740 --> 04:15:28,740
mold development to actually make that work we are very very close

3639
04:15:28,740 --> 04:15:32,740
that line is caused by the plastic separating and then coming together

3640
04:15:32,740 --> 04:15:36,740
well it's that it starts to cool a little bit as it's coming together so you see

3641
04:15:36,740 --> 04:15:40,740
that seam whereas if it's total molten plastic it'll just meld together

3642
04:15:40,740 --> 04:15:44,740
if it's coming together and cooling at the same time then you get what they call a weld line

3643
04:15:44,740 --> 04:15:48,740
which is where the two two pass the plastic meet together

3644
04:15:48,740 --> 04:15:52,740
small things but that's the level of detail we want to go to

3645
04:15:52,740 --> 04:15:56,740
and that's the level of detail that we understand

3646
04:15:56,740 --> 04:16:00,740
that our customers have come to

3647
04:16:00,740 --> 04:16:04,740
expect from us for better or for worse and honestly

3648
04:16:04,740 --> 04:16:08,740
sometimes it's a big part of the reason that you guys don't get more products that you would

3649
04:16:08,740 --> 04:16:12,740
probably mostly really like because we just look at it and we go like

3650
04:16:12,740 --> 04:16:16,740
well if we can't do it great then we're just

3651
04:16:16,740 --> 04:16:20,740
not going to do it we're getting better at our product development timelines

3652
04:16:20,740 --> 04:16:24,740
we're getting better at tracking the process throughout we're getting better at planning these things

3653
04:16:24,740 --> 04:16:28,740
and I think as you come into 2025, 2026

3654
04:16:28,740 --> 04:16:32,740
especially in the 2027 it's going to be like a very well-oiled machine

3655
04:16:32,740 --> 04:16:36,740
it's just taking us some time to get there the business has grown in a really uneven way

3656
04:16:36,740 --> 04:16:40,740
like for a while we were a water bottle company and then we were

3657
04:16:40,740 --> 04:16:44,740
a desk pad company first we were a t-shirt company

3658
04:16:44,740 --> 04:16:48,740
and then we weren't sure what we were doing and then we basically took

3659
04:16:48,740 --> 04:16:52,740
more, bed it on black and bed it hard on

3660
04:16:52,740 --> 04:16:56,740
on the screwdriver and the backpack and then we had all this revenue

3661
04:16:56,740 --> 04:17:00,740
like we had an incredible year

3662
04:17:00,740 --> 04:17:04,740
like the kind of year that you have as a company and just go well there's no point trying to beat this

3663
04:17:06,740 --> 04:17:10,740
and then we were just kind of trying to figure out, yeah trying to figure out

3664
04:17:10,740 --> 04:17:14,740
okay well like no seriously okay we can't just we can't just ride these

3665
04:17:14,740 --> 04:17:18,740
products forever how do we what's the next step?

3666
04:17:18,740 --> 04:17:22,740
Investing in new people, investing in new processes investing in new equipment

3667
04:17:22,740 --> 04:17:26,740
like there's a whole reason that we have let's call it low six figures

3668
04:17:26,740 --> 04:17:30,740
of prototyping equipment that the engineering team uses between

3669
04:17:30,740 --> 04:17:34,740
SLS printers, SLA printers ton of standard printers

3670
04:17:34,740 --> 04:17:38,740
don't forget about old Tatiana's toys she was just here

3671
04:17:38,740 --> 04:17:42,740
we have our own injection molder that we are learning to use we have

3672
04:17:42,740 --> 04:17:46,740
what is it called? MMM like the super precise

3673
04:17:46,740 --> 04:17:50,740
measurement tool that we bought that thing is super cool

3674
04:17:50,740 --> 04:17:54,740
we should probably do another video about maybe a Floatplane exclusive

3675
04:17:54,740 --> 04:17:58,740
yeah but yeah we have a lot of really cool stuff

3676
04:17:58,740 --> 04:18:02,740
that allows us to get better at our product development now and we're working on processes that will make us

3677
04:18:02,740 --> 04:18:06,740
better as a product development company and just want to deliver the best we can

3678
04:18:06,740 --> 04:18:10,740
for you guys and the best way to support that you know what I'm going on?

3679
04:18:10,740 --> 04:18:14,740
here comes the pitch, yeah I'm trying to plug something in what we're going on is to buy some Black Friday stuff

3680
04:18:14,740 --> 04:18:18,740
yeah because if we sell them on Black Friday

3681
04:18:18,740 --> 04:18:22,740
actually the best way to support that is to wait until Black Friday is over and buy stuff at regular

3682
04:18:22,740 --> 04:18:26,740
yeah I'm kidding I'm kidding I'm kidding

3683
04:18:26,740 --> 04:18:30,740
sure but if you want to get a good deal and support that

3684
04:18:30,740 --> 04:18:34,740
then you should buy it on Black Friday yes and those who are asking

3685
04:18:34,740 --> 04:18:38,740
yes we have mod mats coming soon

3686
04:18:38,740 --> 04:18:42,740
they should be out next month we have precision bit sets

3687
04:18:42,740 --> 04:18:46,740
coming back soon that was just

3688
04:18:46,740 --> 04:18:50,740
well beyond any expectation that we could ever have when we launched with that

3689
04:18:50,740 --> 04:18:54,740
I think we had assumed hey probably half the people

3690
04:18:54,740 --> 04:18:58,740
are going to want to buy a bit set because most everybody is going to have a bit set

3691
04:18:58,740 --> 04:19:02,740
and they just want to have like a cool driver that's an upgrade with the hybrid ceramic bearing

3692
04:19:02,740 --> 04:19:06,740
and the bit storage is so cool and like that's cool and then you were all like

3693
04:19:06,740 --> 04:19:10,740
give me the bit set too okay now we don't have anymore

3694
04:19:10,740 --> 04:19:14,740
so it takes time and when you're making

3695
04:19:14,740 --> 04:19:18,740
your own products but like actually making your own products

3696
04:19:18,740 --> 04:19:22,740
you can't just like it'll be ready in a week

3697
04:19:22,740 --> 04:19:26,740
it'll be ready in 60 days

3698
04:19:26,740 --> 04:19:30,740
because here's the thing dude I am 7 for 7 today

3699
04:19:30,740 --> 04:19:34,740
let's go 7 Linus is 1 pc

3700
04:19:34,740 --> 04:19:38,740
and at the volume 3333

3701
04:19:38,740 --> 04:19:42,740
I was giving this guy a hard time about not having

3702
04:19:42,740 --> 04:19:46,740
bit sets for the regular screwdriver and I was like

3703
04:19:46,740 --> 04:19:50,740
come on how can it take that long to get this there was a particular one

3704
04:19:50,740 --> 04:19:54,740
and Nick's like okay well let me put it this way

3705
04:19:54,740 --> 04:19:58,740
every pack is 12

3706
04:19:58,740 --> 04:20:02,740
every pack is 12 bits so you want to order 20,000 packs

3707
04:20:02,740 --> 04:20:06,740
so that's a quarter million

3708
04:20:06,740 --> 04:20:10,740
a quarter million things

3709
04:20:10,740 --> 04:20:14,740
whatever the point is just like to make this is nothing

3710
04:20:14,740 --> 04:20:18,740
to make it a quarter million times like you can't

3711
04:20:20,740 --> 04:20:24,740
we're in a really weird in between

3712
04:20:24,740 --> 04:20:28,740
where we're too small to like have our own factory

3713
04:20:28,740 --> 04:20:32,740
but we're too big to necessarily just like

3714
04:20:32,740 --> 04:20:36,740
you know have someone be like oh yeah I'll slip you in between my other orders

3715
04:20:36,740 --> 04:20:40,740
and to be fair most of the companies that you would think are big enough to have their own factory

3716
04:20:40,740 --> 04:20:44,740
likely don't they just have better negotiating power

3717
04:20:44,740 --> 04:20:48,740
stronger relationships preferential treatment online time

3718
04:20:48,740 --> 04:20:52,740
effectively having their own they own their own production to some extent

3719
04:20:52,740 --> 04:20:56,740
yes but we're getting better we've made a lot of changes

3720
04:20:56,740 --> 04:21:00,740
over the last year and a half and bringing in new people who have a lot of expertise in ways that we didn't

3721
04:21:00,740 --> 04:21:04,740
before and just takes time we're getting better we're implementing these

3722
04:21:04,740 --> 04:21:08,740
alright good progress you actually did not too bad thanks big dog middle of the road

3723
04:21:08,740 --> 04:21:12,740
well we got distracted talking about you know Suzuki XL7

3724
04:21:12,740 --> 04:21:16,740
Bidness alright time for my last build partner

3725
04:21:16,740 --> 04:21:20,740
hi are you going to carry this last one because I'm tired

3726
04:21:20,740 --> 04:21:24,740
I don't know about that I don't think I've built enough computers to carry this

3727
04:21:24,740 --> 04:21:28,740
I can carry you what are you doing over here

3728
04:21:28,740 --> 04:21:32,740
put your CPU on the motherboard before you put the motherboard in the case

3729
04:21:32,740 --> 04:21:36,740
because it's going to be well I mean yeah actually

3730
04:21:36,740 --> 04:21:40,740
you know what whatever you'd like I like your hair it looks nice

3731
04:21:42,740 --> 04:21:46,740
Linus should we start banging off some merch messages here we're going to have to get through

3732
04:21:46,740 --> 04:21:50,740
let me get completely caught up on Jordan stuff and then absolutely let's

3733
04:21:50,740 --> 04:21:54,740
get some merch messages going I think this is all Yvonne stuff

3734
04:21:54,740 --> 04:21:58,740
I'm finally on the last system before I do that

3735
04:21:58,740 --> 04:22:02,740
I took this bit away what screwdriver did I take this bit out of

3736
04:22:02,740 --> 04:22:06,740
it was already on the table it might be from mine that Yvonne has

3737
04:22:06,740 --> 04:22:10,740
okay well it's wait what

3738
04:22:10,740 --> 04:22:14,740
is it a small hex? it's no

3739
04:22:14,740 --> 04:22:16,740
it's a Phillips one

3740
04:22:20,740 --> 04:22:24,740
burn everyone else has played enough to say nothing

3741
04:22:24,740 --> 04:22:28,740
but no not my wife no it's fine

3742
04:22:28,740 --> 04:22:32,740
probably had it coming we have an honest and open relationship

3743
04:22:32,740 --> 04:22:36,740
yes yes no matter what

3744
04:22:40,740 --> 04:22:42,740
interesting

3745
04:22:46,740 --> 04:22:48,740
I mean this is good to know

3746
04:22:50,740 --> 04:22:54,740
what's up one percent I don't think it'll matter if you don't

3747
04:22:54,740 --> 04:22:58,740
even wear deodorant that's a very good point

3748
04:22:58,740 --> 04:23:02,740
I'll be lucky to be getting any from people who have to

3749
04:23:02,740 --> 04:23:06,740
contractually actually that isn't in the marriage contract

3750
04:23:06,740 --> 04:23:10,740
is it? no it's not rats they really should fix that

3751
04:23:12,740 --> 04:23:16,740
okay what are we talking about alright Jordan you were going to hit me with some more

3752
04:23:16,740 --> 04:23:20,740
guess which was the number 4 video you got three left here

3753
04:23:20,740 --> 04:23:24,740
you got to remember these ones it's pretty recent

3754
04:23:24,740 --> 04:23:28,740
so we have 2021 and 22 yeah

3755
04:23:28,740 --> 04:23:32,740
6.4 million views from February of 22

3756
04:23:34,740 --> 04:23:38,740
February of 22 that's all you're giving me?

3757
04:23:38,740 --> 04:23:40,740
there's a brand in the title

3758
04:23:42,740 --> 04:23:46,740
oh maybe it's another all something build

3759
04:23:46,740 --> 04:23:50,740
one of them did like

3760
04:23:50,740 --> 04:23:54,740
crazy numbers is it the all ROG build? no sir

3761
04:23:54,740 --> 04:23:58,740
all aorist build? no is it a stream?

3762
04:23:58,740 --> 04:24:02,740
no I don't know then I don't know

3763
04:24:02,740 --> 04:24:06,740
I'm so I'm so fried it's about a GPU

3764
04:24:06,740 --> 04:24:08,740
it's about a GPU

3765
04:24:10,740 --> 04:24:14,740
oh I thought Dan was giving me a hint he's just showing me a live feed

3766
04:24:14,740 --> 04:24:18,740
of myself right now okay

3767
04:24:20,740 --> 04:24:24,740
about a GPU can I interrupt your train of thought

3768
04:24:24,740 --> 04:24:28,740
I mean sure there's barely a train at this point

3769
04:24:28,740 --> 04:24:32,740
what kind of build is this is this the kind of build where we're putting in

3770
04:24:32,740 --> 04:24:36,740
every single screw or like

3771
04:24:36,740 --> 04:24:40,740
look I've been through all of them with him so I just need to know

3772
04:24:40,740 --> 04:24:44,740
someone bought it for 1600 US dollars

3773
04:24:44,740 --> 04:24:48,740
I'm putting in every screw it is actually going to ship to an actual customer

3774
04:24:48,740 --> 04:24:52,740
okay and what's cool is the parts were actually donated

3775
04:24:52,740 --> 04:24:56,740
I think our last shout out is

3776
04:24:56,740 --> 04:25:00,740
for thermal take and colorful thermal take sent over 8 cases

3777
04:25:00,740 --> 04:25:04,740
and colorful sent over a couple of GPUs

3778
04:25:04,740 --> 04:25:08,740
which were the colorful GPUs? they were the last couple 7800's you had

3779
04:25:08,740 --> 04:25:12,740
the last couple 7800's so 7800 XTs

3780
04:25:12,740 --> 04:25:16,740
everyone who contributed parts because we told everyone hey we're

3781
04:25:16,740 --> 04:25:20,740
going to be donating the profits so if we had to buy

3782
04:25:20,740 --> 04:25:24,740
all the stuff ourselves then it was going to be a lot less and our partners

3783
04:25:24,740 --> 04:25:28,740
leapt into action and provided us with almost every single part you guys have seen today

3784
04:25:28,740 --> 04:25:32,740
whether they're from our hardware partners or java.gg

3785
04:25:32,740 --> 04:25:36,740
so we are going to be donating over 20,000

3786
04:25:36,740 --> 04:25:40,740
I believe that's US dollars that's correct

3787
04:25:40,740 --> 04:25:44,740
US dollars to one of our local food banks which is pretty exciting

3788
04:25:46,740 --> 04:25:50,740
what was I talking about? final clue, NVIDIA video card

3789
04:25:50,740 --> 04:25:54,740
NVIDIA oh

3790
04:25:54,740 --> 04:25:58,740
was it the 3090 the 8K gaming the sponsored video

3791
04:25:58,740 --> 04:26:02,740
nope give them a thumbnail Dan

3792
04:26:02,740 --> 04:26:06,740
number 14 oh the mining GPU

3793
04:26:06,740 --> 04:26:10,740
no wait that wasn't the mining one the one now? A100

3794
04:26:10,740 --> 04:26:14,740
yeah yeah yeah what was the title it was like

3795
04:26:14,740 --> 04:26:18,740
NVIDIA wouldn't send me their fastest GPU that was a good title

3796
04:26:18,740 --> 04:26:22,740
stroke of absolute brilliance that title

3797
04:26:22,740 --> 04:26:26,740
honestly sometimes that matters more than the content of the video in terms of getting views on the platform

3798
04:26:26,740 --> 04:26:28,740
if you just have like

3799
04:26:30,740 --> 04:26:34,740
your next one is real clickbaity okay it's real clickbaity wow that really narrows it down

3800
04:26:34,740 --> 04:26:38,740
yeah really right 4223

3801
04:26:38,740 --> 04:26:42,740
from May of 23

3802
04:26:42,740 --> 04:26:46,740
6.8 million views in the first year 6.8 million clickbaity

3803
04:26:46,740 --> 04:26:50,740
huh and a pretty static video

3804
04:26:50,740 --> 04:26:54,740
if I remember right static video oh electro boom club

3805
04:26:54,740 --> 04:26:58,740
oh that's a good plot but no can static kill your PC is that it

3806
04:26:58,740 --> 04:27:02,740
not static in that way static is not moving not moving

3807
04:27:02,740 --> 04:27:06,740
do you want any ideas no I don't I mean I can't even get this

3808
04:27:06,740 --> 04:27:10,740
screw in what's going on yeah that's usually my job

3809
04:27:10,740 --> 04:27:14,740
to put together computers to put together computers why

3810
04:27:14,740 --> 04:27:18,740
why what were you thinking Dan what were you thinking Dan

3811
04:27:18,740 --> 04:27:20,740
I'm not paid to think I'm sorry sir

3812
04:27:22,740 --> 04:27:26,740
you're doing a very good job oh you cross threaded it

3813
04:27:26,740 --> 04:27:30,740
oh it's the wrong screw what okay so this is actually

3814
04:27:30,740 --> 04:27:34,740
such a common error for novice builders

3815
04:27:34,740 --> 04:27:38,740
there's two threadings there's m3 and there's

3816
04:27:38,740 --> 04:27:42,740
632 and depending on the manufacturer and sometimes even depending

3817
04:27:42,740 --> 04:27:46,740
on the case within their lineup you'll they'll use

3818
04:27:46,740 --> 04:27:50,740
a different threading for the motherboard standoffs it's the one screw in the PC

3819
04:27:50,740 --> 04:27:54,740
that is not standard okay but why did all these ones go in because you used

3820
04:27:54,740 --> 04:27:58,740
different screws you used m3 screws they look exactly the same they don't

3821
04:27:58,740 --> 04:28:02,740
why are you taking those ones out if they have to come out because now that you've cross

3822
04:28:02,740 --> 04:28:06,740
threaded it it is stuck in the standoff and when

3823
04:28:06,740 --> 04:28:10,740
you tried to unscrew it you unscrewed the standoff

3824
04:28:10,740 --> 04:28:14,740
underneath so the whole thing has to come apart now I can smell myself

3825
04:28:14,740 --> 04:28:18,740
now is it these ones I'm glad that it's

3826
04:28:18,740 --> 04:28:22,740
I'm glad that it's you because why do I always get shot

3827
04:28:22,740 --> 04:28:24,740
well no I

3828
04:28:26,740 --> 04:28:30,740
I mean yeah considering how open things are why is it

3829
04:28:32,740 --> 04:28:36,740
sorry um no I'm just

3830
04:28:36,740 --> 04:28:40,740
saying because you know I would never because I don't have to hide anything from you because we know we're honest

3831
04:28:40,740 --> 04:28:44,740
and honest and open and it's just it's less

3832
04:28:44,740 --> 04:28:48,740
embarrassing you've seen me at my worst already there we go so we just got to

3833
04:28:48,740 --> 04:28:52,740
get that undone okay so I'll show you the difference now okay please

3834
04:28:52,740 --> 04:28:56,740
oh one of these was also wrong so I don't know what happened there

3835
04:28:56,740 --> 04:29:00,740
but see how one is a button head okay so

3836
04:29:00,740 --> 04:29:04,740
you got a button head screw well there was one of them in this pack yeah one of them is a

3837
04:29:04,740 --> 04:29:08,740
button head with a little like circular okay order thing

3838
04:29:08,740 --> 04:29:12,740
and see how the threading is different yep I see that yeah so you want these m3

3839
04:29:12,740 --> 04:29:16,740
threaded ones for this particular case if you've been building one of the systems earlier

3840
04:29:16,740 --> 04:29:20,740
you would have been using 632 for the motherboard tray because the

3841
04:29:20,740 --> 04:29:24,740
industry just didn't think it was necessary to standardize

3842
04:29:24,740 --> 04:29:28,740
that I mean honestly it's a miracle that they can agree on as many things as they

3843
04:29:28,740 --> 04:29:32,740
do agree on okay wait and before

3844
04:29:32,740 --> 04:29:36,740
you put that back down did I have the right ones coming out the right

3845
04:29:36,740 --> 04:29:40,740
the right cables and stuff the ones that connect to the motherboard

3846
04:29:40,740 --> 04:29:44,740
that's a good question I I love the way you're thinking

3847
04:29:44,740 --> 04:29:48,740
you know about like having the right things you know pre-run and everything

3848
04:29:48,740 --> 04:29:52,740
I don't know if you've got them right but I love that you're trying to get them

3849
04:29:52,740 --> 04:29:56,740
right that's pretty cool most

3850
04:29:56,740 --> 04:30:00,740
inexperienced builders do not consider those sorts of things

3851
04:30:00,740 --> 04:30:04,740
but Poryvon builds computers with me so she knows that

3852
04:30:04,740 --> 04:30:08,740
if we don't sort of run it the way that I'm just takes extra long

3853
04:30:08,740 --> 04:30:12,740
to redo everything yes that thing

3854
04:30:12,740 --> 04:30:16,740
she said that I can't push back

3855
04:30:16,740 --> 04:30:20,740
on I know this should stay back there's a couple that you're missing

3856
04:30:20,740 --> 04:30:24,740
down at the bottom but it doesn't matter oh we're just going to take off this peel

3857
04:30:24,740 --> 04:30:28,740
this is a little easier to get off now am I just building both of these computers

3858
04:30:28,740 --> 04:30:32,740
is that what's happening you can just direct me just tell me what to do

3859
04:30:32,740 --> 04:30:36,740
well I can put this in now okay so I'm using the one that has

3860
04:30:36,740 --> 04:30:40,740
the ridge or the rim around it yeah it's that kind of job

3861
04:30:42,740 --> 04:30:46,740
she doesn't know what things are I don't know what you're talking about

3862
04:30:46,740 --> 04:30:50,740
get away with all sorts of stuff Dan help me

3863
04:30:50,740 --> 04:30:52,740
absolutely not

3864
04:30:54,740 --> 04:30:58,740
it was honestly one of the things I liked so much about her

3865
04:30:58,740 --> 04:31:02,740
she was like a private school kid and um

3866
04:31:02,740 --> 04:31:06,740
was very nice that has some seriously

3867
04:31:06,740 --> 04:31:10,740
negative connotations there I just mean you didn't have

3868
04:31:10,740 --> 04:31:14,740
you know I mean beyond the

3869
04:31:14,740 --> 04:31:18,740
a lot of experience in the world private school kids it can go a number of different ways

3870
04:31:18,740 --> 04:31:22,740
that's true that's true she wasn't the skanky kind of private school kid

3871
04:31:22,740 --> 04:31:26,740
thanks I thought that's what you were trying to avoid

3872
04:31:26,740 --> 04:31:30,740
who brought me a bucket of standoffs I do not need this

3873
04:31:30,740 --> 04:31:34,740
I thought you might have destroyed one of them no no it's fine thanks Dan

3874
04:31:34,740 --> 04:31:38,740
that also implies that I was a rich spoiled brat

3875
04:31:38,740 --> 04:31:42,740
oh not a rich not a rich private school kid

3876
04:31:42,740 --> 04:31:46,740
we both grew up not privileged

3877
04:31:46,740 --> 04:31:50,740
I remember when I was young my parents used to

3878
04:31:50,740 --> 04:31:54,740
we used to share a home with my cousins and we didn't have washing machines or dryers

3879
04:31:54,740 --> 04:31:58,740
and we used to wash our clothes in the bathtub and hang them out to dry

3880
04:31:58,740 --> 04:32:02,740
I feel like that taught us a lot about how to work hard yep

3881
04:32:02,740 --> 04:32:06,740
don't forget that you slept in the car while your parents did their nighttime paper route

3882
04:32:06,740 --> 04:32:10,740
yep this one time we were in the car

3883
04:32:10,740 --> 04:32:14,740
and my sister and I were like oh wouldn't it be fun to see what it does if we release the emergency brake

3884
04:32:14,740 --> 04:32:18,740
on a hill so I think we were 10 and we were rolling down the hill

3885
04:32:18,740 --> 04:32:22,740
that was terrifying yeah

3886
04:32:22,740 --> 04:32:24,740
I don't know if we slept in the car again after that

3887
04:32:26,740 --> 04:32:30,740
um yeah I knew

3888
04:32:30,740 --> 04:32:34,740
what were we talking about Jordan do we have any

3889
04:32:34,740 --> 04:32:38,740
just tell me which one it is I don't care anymore

3890
04:32:38,740 --> 04:32:42,740
you were stepping down what time

3891
04:32:42,740 --> 04:32:46,740
oh stepping down as CEO of the company

3892
04:32:46,740 --> 04:32:50,740
wait what I have no concept of time

3893
04:32:50,740 --> 04:32:54,740
that was May of 23 so not quite 2 years

3894
04:32:54,740 --> 04:32:58,740
still the final video then

3895
04:32:58,740 --> 04:33:02,740
was from December of last year yeah it's um

3896
04:33:02,740 --> 04:33:06,740
what was our oh wait what December of last year 8.5 million

3897
04:33:06,740 --> 04:33:10,740
what December of last year

3898
04:33:10,740 --> 04:33:14,740
8.5 million still good thank you

3899
04:33:14,740 --> 04:33:18,740
I don't even think we had any like 8.5 million mega bangers that recently

3900
04:33:18,740 --> 04:33:22,740
I don't even know just just tell me that was your TCL X11G

3901
04:33:22,740 --> 04:33:26,740
alright yeah the world's biggest TV

3902
04:33:26,740 --> 04:33:30,740
I still love that thing I ultimately even though the high sense has the edge

3903
04:33:30,740 --> 04:33:34,740
in some ways I ultimately kept the TCL the accounting was a little less

3904
04:33:34,740 --> 04:33:38,740
complicated fun fact by the way I just

3905
04:33:38,740 --> 04:33:42,740
just confirmed this with the planning committee

3906
04:33:42,740 --> 04:33:46,740
the high sense will be at the Christmas parties this year

3907
04:33:48,740 --> 04:33:52,740
the 110 inch TV is going to be at the Christmas party

3908
04:33:52,740 --> 04:33:56,740
that is not a small box to deal with seriously that's your reaction to that

3909
04:33:56,740 --> 04:34:00,740
where am I going to put 110 inch TV well I don't know don't you have a wall

3910
04:34:00,740 --> 04:34:04,740
I do have walls do you have a ceiling put it on the ceiling

3911
04:34:04,740 --> 04:34:08,740
110 inch TV let's go that would be pretty cool

3912
04:34:08,740 --> 04:34:12,740
Andy you going to put in any tickets you going to put in one and hope for the best

3913
04:34:12,740 --> 04:34:14,740
that's how I won the one massage chair last year

3914
04:34:16,740 --> 04:34:20,740
yeah and Andy won a crazy massage chair like I think that thing was worth as much

3915
04:34:20,740 --> 04:34:24,740
as a car something like that

3916
04:34:24,740 --> 04:34:28,740
dude if you win another like

3917
04:34:28,740 --> 04:34:32,740
ultimate grand prize with one stupid ticket people are going to call shenanigans

3918
04:34:32,740 --> 04:34:36,740
like there's no way there is no way

3919
04:34:36,740 --> 04:34:40,740
are you going to emcee the Christmas party this year or should I get cold to do it

3920
04:34:40,740 --> 04:34:44,740
oh I assumed I would be emcee but I guess technically there's no reason

3921
04:34:44,740 --> 04:34:48,740
that I have to be I don't know it's up to you

3922
04:34:48,740 --> 04:34:52,740
yeah I'll do it sure if he really wants to do it then that's fine

3923
04:34:52,740 --> 04:34:56,740
no I think everyone assumed you would do it but I just wanted to double check

3924
04:34:56,740 --> 04:35:00,740
yeah I'll do it am I missing a fan still

3925
04:35:00,740 --> 04:35:04,740
there it is how's your bills going

3926
04:35:04,740 --> 04:35:08,740
I did take the fan out because I couldn't get the

3927
04:35:08,740 --> 04:35:12,740
I couldn't get it in oh

3928
04:35:12,740 --> 04:35:16,740
now before I put it back yeah that's what I wanted to check

3929
04:35:16,740 --> 04:35:20,740
so this way in which way do you want the wires

3930
04:35:20,740 --> 04:35:24,740
I think the question is which way do you want the wires

3931
04:35:24,740 --> 04:35:28,740
I would go so that you have a little bit more slack

3932
04:35:28,740 --> 04:35:32,740
okay there you go see this is why I ask these things

3933
04:35:32,740 --> 04:35:36,740
I know I'm sorry

3934
04:35:36,740 --> 04:35:38,740
I'm super easy to be married to

3935
04:35:40,740 --> 04:35:44,740
I actually don't know how you work on this table it's really tall

3936
04:35:44,740 --> 04:35:48,740
I'm having a hard time really my own wife

3937
04:35:48,740 --> 04:35:52,740
my own wife with the short jokes I see how it is

3938
04:35:52,740 --> 04:35:56,740
I see how it is oh

3939
04:35:56,740 --> 04:36:00,740
I was like oh no I put the thermal compound away nope I was still holding it

3940
04:36:00,740 --> 04:36:04,740
let's put this on man this is

3941
04:36:04,740 --> 04:36:08,740
quite a bit more challenging you unlocked out

3942
04:36:08,740 --> 04:36:12,740
the one we were doing earlier the AMD bill was a little bit easier

3943
04:36:12,740 --> 04:36:16,740
what makes this one hard it's just a little tighter to work in

3944
04:36:16,740 --> 04:36:18,740
I mean you're like right in my way

3945
04:36:22,740 --> 04:36:26,740
I have less of the

3946
04:36:26,740 --> 04:36:28,740
I think you're okay with your left hand

3947
04:36:30,740 --> 04:36:34,740
not great but okay

3948
04:36:34,740 --> 04:36:38,740
I'm practicing practicing screwing

3949
04:36:42,740 --> 04:36:46,740
oh man how about submerged messages

3950
04:36:46,740 --> 04:36:50,740
that sounds like a good idea it's great working with Yvonne because

3951
04:36:50,740 --> 04:36:54,740
I can get it out of my system it's like

3952
04:36:54,740 --> 04:36:58,740
the things that I can't say to literally anyone else it's good

3953
04:36:58,740 --> 04:37:00,740
I can't make those jokes

3954
04:37:02,740 --> 04:37:06,740
oh man okay yeah Jordan is that all you have for like guessing games and stuff

3955
04:37:06,740 --> 04:37:10,740
are we on to Dan is he able to do some I mean realistically

3956
04:37:10,740 --> 04:37:14,740
most of the people having merge messages read probably left them like three hours ago

3957
04:37:14,740 --> 04:37:18,740
probably yeah we're gonna do those like top five or anything like that

3958
04:37:18,740 --> 04:37:22,740
are people still enjoying this are they still into it Dan

3959
04:37:22,740 --> 04:37:26,740
I think so yeah we still got some viewers

3960
04:37:26,740 --> 04:37:30,740
hey thanks for tuning in today you guys really appreciate you

3961
04:37:30,740 --> 04:37:34,740
alright hit me Dan hey LMG just moved out

3962
04:37:34,740 --> 04:37:38,740
and straight into the big city what advice would you give to a young person living in Vancouver

3963
04:37:38,740 --> 04:37:42,740
don't live in Vancouver I'm so sorry

3964
04:37:42,740 --> 04:37:46,740
is it too late move elsewhere

3965
04:37:46,740 --> 04:37:50,740
I mean there's a reason that Yvonne and I settled in Surrey and it's not because Surrey smells so good

3966
04:37:52,740 --> 04:37:56,740
don't take oh man see we're trying to get in good with the city of Surrey

3967
04:37:56,740 --> 04:38:00,740
right now okay if anyone from the city of Surrey is watching

3968
04:38:00,740 --> 04:38:04,740
our agricultural industry is important

3969
04:38:04,740 --> 04:38:08,740
agriculture is the backbone of a functioning society etc

3970
04:38:08,740 --> 04:38:12,740
it just doesn't smell good that's all that's all

3971
04:38:12,740 --> 04:38:16,740
man there was a day what was it a couple weeks ago when the business

3972
04:38:16,740 --> 04:38:20,740
business land upstairs was like uninhabitable it was

3973
04:38:20,740 --> 04:38:24,740
I don't know what kind of poop they were spreading in the fields nearby

3974
04:38:24,740 --> 04:38:28,740
but the animal that came out of was not healthy

3975
04:38:28,740 --> 04:38:32,740
not a healthy animal that being said

3976
04:38:32,740 --> 04:38:36,740
they said that the population in the city of Surrey is going to overtake Vancouver

3977
04:38:36,740 --> 04:38:40,740
in the next five years so they're working on making Surrey much more

3978
04:38:40,740 --> 04:38:44,740
of a city they want to call it Metro Surrey not Metro Vancouver

3979
04:38:44,740 --> 04:38:48,740
that's their goal that is

3980
04:38:48,740 --> 04:38:52,740
I'm paraphrasing that's ambitious

3981
04:38:52,740 --> 04:38:56,740
well I mean they've made a lot of progress have you seen Surrey Central

3982
04:38:56,740 --> 04:39:00,740
like when we moved in my parents used to live on the corner of King George

3983
04:39:00,740 --> 04:39:04,740
and there used to be I joked with Yvonne that if she didn't

3984
04:39:04,740 --> 04:39:08,740
put out then I'd have other options on my way home

3985
04:39:10,740 --> 04:39:14,740
oh that's a good joke now there's just so much more development

3986
04:39:14,740 --> 04:39:18,740
going in like the SFU is there I think the

3987
04:39:18,740 --> 04:39:22,740
which is a local university or college I always forget that people don't know

3988
04:39:22,740 --> 04:39:26,740
and then there's another university that's going in like the medical program is going in there

3989
04:39:26,740 --> 04:39:30,740
next to the hospital City Hall they've built this like crazy extravagant building

3990
04:39:30,740 --> 04:39:34,740
they've upgraded them all it's just completely different but traffic also sucks

3991
04:39:34,740 --> 04:39:38,740
call me when you have a hockey team I mean realistically that's

3992
04:39:38,740 --> 04:39:42,740
what makes a Canadian city a real city there's no parking

3993
04:39:42,740 --> 04:39:46,740
right take that Quebec City well okay wait wait come help me

3994
04:39:46,740 --> 04:39:50,740
just kidding I'm nothing against Quebec City I've only been there once

3995
04:39:50,740 --> 04:39:54,740
and I like drove that's too many times don't know anything about Quebec City where do these go

3996
04:39:54,740 --> 04:39:58,740
hi those go nowhere so this one

3997
04:39:58,740 --> 04:40:02,740
is she's trying to figure out RGB wiring which is it's a nightmare

3998
04:40:02,740 --> 04:40:06,740
so this one right here the female one is going to go into one of these

3999
04:40:06,740 --> 04:40:10,740
and then all the rest of them are going to daisy chain into this one

4000
04:40:10,740 --> 04:40:14,740
and then the very end one that has these metal contacts sticking off it you're going to make sure

4001
04:40:14,740 --> 04:40:18,740
it has one of these covers because otherwise if it accidentally touches any metal

4002
04:40:18,740 --> 04:40:22,740
it'll short and it'll maybe cause a fire okay wait so

4003
04:40:22,740 --> 04:40:26,740
why did you have this coming out the top because now it won't go down

4004
04:40:26,740 --> 04:40:30,740
I asked you what ones you wanted coming out and I think

4005
04:40:30,740 --> 04:40:34,740
oh no you put it in like that what do you mean in like that I didn't get that in there

4006
04:40:34,740 --> 04:40:38,740
I asked you oh I see

4007
04:40:40,740 --> 04:40:44,740
no you could probably take one of the ones down here plug it in here and then run the daisy chain up to here

4008
04:40:44,740 --> 04:40:48,740
and then just just jam this back here

4009
04:40:48,740 --> 04:40:52,740
or something it's hilarious yeah that'll work

4010
04:40:52,740 --> 04:40:56,740
just daisy chain to that one instead of from that one and then you're your G to G

4011
04:40:56,740 --> 04:41:00,740
you're fine everything's fine everything's good

4012
04:41:00,740 --> 04:41:04,740
oh I plugged in my power connectors but I haven't plugged in my fans yet

4013
04:41:04,740 --> 04:41:08,740
so I'm just going to go ahead and do that Dan hit me hi Linus I recently bought

4014
04:41:08,740 --> 04:41:12,740
a used reference 7900 XTX

4015
04:41:12,740 --> 04:41:16,740
and notice the V round temperatures reached 98 C while gaming

4016
04:41:16,740 --> 04:41:20,740
in 106 on Furmark should I be concerned I would get a little bit more ventilation

4017
04:41:20,740 --> 04:41:24,740
in your case theoretically it's not going to kill it probably

4018
04:41:24,740 --> 04:41:28,740
but I would I would probably get a little bit more ventilation in your case yeah

4019
04:41:28,740 --> 04:41:32,740
hey Linus wanted to ask if you have any opinions

4020
04:41:32,740 --> 04:41:36,740
on the Vajaro Aero VR headset I still need to try it

4021
04:41:36,740 --> 04:41:40,740
they sent us one like a thousand years ago

4022
04:41:40,740 --> 04:41:44,740
and I it's been sitting there begging me to try it

4023
04:41:44,740 --> 04:41:48,740
along with a bunch of other cool VR stuff that I want to check out

4024
04:41:48,740 --> 04:41:52,740
I still have the wireless uh index adapter that I

4025
04:41:52,740 --> 04:41:56,740
I have spent several hours trying to get working and I got as far

4026
04:41:56,740 --> 04:42:00,740
as booking a consultation with their tech team to like

4027
04:42:00,740 --> 04:42:04,740
help me fix because I just could not figure it out

4028
04:42:04,740 --> 04:42:08,740
and then I had something catastrophic happen

4029
04:42:08,740 --> 04:42:12,740
oh my sister died and so I missed my appointment and then I just like

4030
04:42:12,740 --> 04:42:16,740
was not not into it for a bit

4031
04:42:16,740 --> 04:42:20,740
and I just put somewhere and so now that it's out of sight it's out of mind

4032
04:42:20,740 --> 04:42:24,740
so I need to do that and then once I have that done I want to check out the

4033
04:42:24,740 --> 04:42:28,740
Vajaro Vajaro Aero or whatever it is they also sent over one of their other ones

4034
04:42:28,740 --> 04:42:32,740
they look super cool but I've just been a little behind on my VR stuff

4035
04:42:32,740 --> 04:42:36,740
because the reality of it is usually these days when I have time

4036
04:42:36,740 --> 04:42:40,740
to use VR I just kind of want it to work and so I've just been

4037
04:42:40,740 --> 04:42:44,740
using my index because it just mostly

4038
04:42:44,740 --> 04:42:48,740
just works I think it's like

4039
04:42:48,740 --> 04:42:52,740
I think it's an aging thing I think I'm just like getting old and I just

4040
04:42:52,740 --> 04:42:56,740
want things to work when I uh

4041
04:42:56,740 --> 04:43:00,740
finally have a minute to sit down you know I don't know

4042
04:43:00,740 --> 04:43:04,740
do you feel the same way about it? yeah but I don't know if that's aging or being burnt out

4043
04:43:04,740 --> 04:43:08,740
or both oh we're talking about this really

4044
04:43:08,740 --> 04:43:12,740
live? she's been telling me I should take a sabbatical

4045
04:43:12,740 --> 04:43:16,740
for like years not a years long sabbatical

4046
04:43:16,740 --> 04:43:20,740
like she's been telling me that I should take a sabbatical what if you just took Mondays off

4047
04:43:20,740 --> 04:43:24,740
well see I tried that and then

4048
04:43:24,740 --> 04:43:28,740
just when you try and get out they suck you back in I hardly ever

4049
04:43:28,740 --> 04:43:32,740
actually get Monday off theoretically I have Mondays off

4050
04:43:32,740 --> 04:43:36,740
no I think it turned into a work from home turned into Mondays work from home

4051
04:43:36,740 --> 04:43:40,740
and then sometimes I I managed to have most of yesterday off

4052
04:43:40,740 --> 04:43:44,740
which was nice but I don't know it's just one of those things

4053
04:43:44,740 --> 04:43:48,740
like you hear Nick talking about what it was like back in those days

4054
04:43:48,740 --> 04:43:52,740
and it's just been go go go grow grow grow

4055
04:43:52,740 --> 04:43:56,740
all this time and she's right

4056
04:43:56,740 --> 04:44:00,740
you know that's the thing about your better half is

4057
04:44:00,740 --> 04:44:04,740
they tend to be right about things just I'm tired

4058
04:44:04,740 --> 04:44:08,740
but it doesn't feel like it's it doesn't feel like it's in a place where I can just

4059
04:44:08,740 --> 04:44:12,740
kind of like walk away and let it go autopilot for a while without

4060
04:44:12,740 --> 04:44:16,740
something screwing up catastrophically so it's hard to

4061
04:44:16,740 --> 04:44:20,740
speaking of screwing up catastrophically can you just make sure

4062
04:44:20,740 --> 04:44:24,740
I like that nice that was a pathetic high five though

4063
04:44:24,740 --> 04:44:28,740
okay this way yes that looks good

4064
04:44:28,740 --> 04:44:32,740
nice no we gotta push it down a little more

4065
04:44:32,740 --> 04:44:36,740
that things gotta hold down the other yeah there you go

4066
04:44:36,740 --> 04:44:40,740
sounds bad but it's good Linus have you ever dropped

4067
04:44:40,740 --> 04:44:44,740
one of your kids Christmas gifts I don't think so

4068
04:44:44,740 --> 04:44:48,740
have I ever like broken one of the kids Christmas presents

4069
04:44:48,740 --> 04:44:52,740
I mean I almost screwed up this I felt like I was screwing up assembling that trampoline

4070
04:44:52,740 --> 04:44:56,740
remember that yeah that was not the greatest

4071
04:44:56,740 --> 04:45:00,740
I don't know I don't know what I was thinking you didn't drop anything

4072
04:45:00,740 --> 04:45:04,740
was that Christmas it was wasn't it it was cold

4073
04:45:04,740 --> 04:45:08,740
I don't know why we were installing it during Christmas because we want because

4074
04:45:08,740 --> 04:45:12,740
no it was my stupid idea I wanted them to like wake up and see it in the morning

4075
04:45:12,740 --> 04:45:16,740
like magic magic Santa assembled a trampoline in our backyard

4076
04:45:16,740 --> 04:45:20,740
you never mind that it was December we're gonna jump on it for four months or whatever

4077
04:45:20,740 --> 04:45:24,740
but I don't know you know what I wouldn't undo it

4078
04:45:24,740 --> 04:45:28,740
I wouldn't undo it totally worth it I just remember us being so angry

4079
04:45:28,740 --> 04:45:32,740
I was so mad at Linus it was so cold

4080
04:45:32,740 --> 04:45:36,740
and it required so much strength because I think we just didn't know what we were doing

4081
04:45:36,740 --> 04:45:40,740
I think we hired somebody when we moved the trampoline to install it correctly

4082
04:45:40,740 --> 04:45:44,740
and he was so fast with one person he did it in like less than an hour

4083
04:45:44,740 --> 04:45:48,740
two of us like three hours to assemble it the first time

4084
04:45:48,740 --> 04:45:52,740
it's one of those spring free ones really nice really nice trampoline very happy with it

4085
04:45:52,740 --> 04:45:56,740
but not the easiest to install if you've never done it before

4086
04:45:58,740 --> 04:46:02,740
hit me Dan hello from Ireland

4087
04:46:02,740 --> 04:46:06,740
what software do you recommend for making cool ARGB

4088
04:46:06,740 --> 04:46:10,740
lighting patterns shout out to Borna from work for going in with me on

4089
04:46:10,740 --> 04:46:14,740
screwdriver shipping I don't know

4090
04:46:14,740 --> 04:46:18,740
I use signal RGB on my computer at work

4091
04:46:18,740 --> 04:46:22,740
because I have that NCIX sign PC so I just have like those really long strips

4092
04:46:22,740 --> 04:46:26,740
and signal RGB works for that and other than that

4093
04:46:26,740 --> 04:46:30,740
I have to confess that I don't give too many hoots about what my RGB

4094
04:46:30,740 --> 04:46:34,740
patterns look like so I have never really cared

4095
04:46:34,740 --> 04:46:38,740
that's where I'm at on that I'm very sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear

4096
04:46:38,740 --> 04:46:42,740
but congratulations on saving on shipping

4097
04:46:42,740 --> 04:46:46,740
hey LTT you talked about being too well known

4098
04:46:46,740 --> 04:46:50,740
to do scrapyard wars would going in another province

4099
04:46:50,740 --> 04:46:54,740
with a different language help with that like doing it in Montreal maybe

4100
04:46:54,740 --> 04:46:58,740
Ivan and I were talking about this just last night and she was kind of talking about

4101
04:46:58,740 --> 04:47:02,740
how it's impossible for me to go anywhere in Vancouver at this point without

4102
04:47:02,740 --> 04:47:06,740
well I shouldn't say anywhere if I went to like

4103
04:47:06,740 --> 04:47:10,740
I was about to say to like a crafting supplies store

4104
04:47:10,740 --> 04:47:14,740
but we totally got recognized at a crafting supplies store yesterday

4105
04:47:14,740 --> 04:47:18,740
obviously it was by a young awkward man

4106
04:47:18,740 --> 04:47:22,740
no offense I think he knew it was a little awkward

4107
04:47:22,740 --> 04:47:26,740
do you want black or grey surprise grey

4108
04:47:26,740 --> 04:47:30,740
you know our demographic basically

4109
04:47:30,740 --> 04:47:34,740
but like if we go somewhere where our demographic is not really present

4110
04:47:34,740 --> 04:47:38,740
then yeah there's a good chance that no one will recognize me but if I go somewhere

4111
04:47:38,740 --> 04:47:42,740
like an electronic store or whatever else then the odds are

4112
04:47:42,740 --> 04:47:46,740
extremely slim like it was a miracle that that guy in the Taiwan tech mall

4113
04:47:46,740 --> 04:47:50,740
I didn't know who I was he actually posted later that he totally watches

4114
04:47:50,740 --> 04:47:54,740
the channel he just like I don't know maybe he just

4115
04:47:54,740 --> 04:47:58,740
all white people look the same to him or something why would you be in Taiwan in his shop

4116
04:47:58,740 --> 04:48:02,740
in a billion years and you know what I totally have the same thing

4117
04:48:02,740 --> 04:48:06,740
where no matter how well I know someone if I see them in the wrong context

4118
04:48:06,740 --> 04:48:10,740
super important I've got nothing

4119
04:48:10,740 --> 04:48:14,740
like I literally when I was a kid I saw my teacher at the grocery

4120
04:48:14,740 --> 04:48:18,740
store once this is someone I spent six hours a day

4121
04:48:18,740 --> 04:48:22,740
with five days a week didn't recognize her took me like

4122
04:48:22,740 --> 04:48:26,740
a while to recognize her I've had

4123
04:48:26,740 --> 04:48:30,740
relatives that I've run into like just on the sidewalk

4124
04:48:30,740 --> 04:48:34,740
and I have not recognized them until they recognized me and like said something

4125
04:48:34,740 --> 04:48:38,740
like it's it's a hundred percent a thing for me so I

4126
04:48:38,740 --> 04:48:42,740
I 100% can relate I get it

4127
04:48:42,740 --> 04:48:46,740
but anyway we were talking about it and I

4128
04:48:46,740 --> 04:48:50,740
honestly don't think it was any better but I don't think it would be any better like what I brought up

4129
04:48:50,740 --> 04:48:54,740
to her was back when we went back to visit her

4130
04:48:54,740 --> 04:48:58,740
family in in Southeast Asia and this was

4131
04:48:58,740 --> 04:49:02,740
this was when our kid was

4132
04:49:02,740 --> 04:49:06,740
two so I try not to get too granular on the ages

4133
04:49:06,740 --> 04:49:10,740
so sometime in the mid 20s times

4134
04:49:10,740 --> 04:49:14,740
sometime back then I was in Malaysia

4135
04:49:14,740 --> 04:49:18,740
at a restaurant and buddy comes up and is like

4136
04:49:18,740 --> 04:49:22,740
oh your LTT you know can't get a selfie or whatever I don't think selfies were

4137
04:49:22,740 --> 04:49:26,740
as much of a thing yet but basically like oh I watch your videos you know

4138
04:49:26,740 --> 04:49:30,740
whatever and so like

4139
04:49:30,740 --> 04:49:34,740
how do I how do I say this like I'm not trying to brag or anything that's not

4140
04:49:34,740 --> 04:49:38,740
that's not the point but within the like young

4141
04:49:38,740 --> 04:49:42,740
man demographic I don't think it's going to make a difference

4142
04:49:44,740 --> 04:49:48,740
and like the thing about the thing about Quebec is that even though

4143
04:49:48,740 --> 04:49:52,740
it is a French speaking territory or whatever province

4144
04:49:52,740 --> 04:49:56,740
not territory that's technically a different thing here even though it's a French

4145
04:49:56,740 --> 04:50:00,740
speaking region a lot of people especially in the urban

4146
04:50:00,740 --> 04:50:04,740
centers where there'd be any good you know scrapyard warring a lot

4147
04:50:04,740 --> 04:50:08,740
of them speak English anyway and we'll watch English speaking content there is a really

4148
04:50:08,740 --> 04:50:12,740
good francophone tech scene so they don't have to

4149
04:50:12,740 --> 04:50:16,740
watch English speaking content but a lot of them do and part of it is

4150
04:50:16,740 --> 04:50:20,740
improving their English so yeah I don't think it would help

4151
04:50:20,740 --> 04:50:24,740
cool idea though I'd be down to do it where we have to speak French

4152
04:50:24,740 --> 04:50:28,740
the whole time I'd be at such an advantage because the most French thing about Luke

4153
04:50:28,740 --> 04:50:32,740
is his last name that's it that's all he's got I don't think he speaks a word of French

4154
04:50:34,740 --> 04:50:38,740
hit me Dan sure I got about 11 to go

4155
04:50:38,740 --> 04:50:42,740
wow okay with the crowd strike breaking computers earlier this year and Microsoft

4156
04:50:42,740 --> 04:50:46,740
365 being offline for most of yesterday what software

4157
04:50:46,740 --> 04:50:50,740
if any could be used in the place of softwares of service

4158
04:50:50,740 --> 04:50:54,740
I don't know because a lot of the software

4159
04:50:54,740 --> 04:50:58,740
that we used to rely on instead of software as a service

4160
04:50:58,740 --> 04:51:02,740
has just been replaced it's been it was

4161
04:51:02,740 --> 04:51:06,740
software that was from these same companies who now

4162
04:51:06,740 --> 04:51:10,740
no longer offer a buy once cry once option it's extremely

4163
04:51:10,740 --> 04:51:14,740
frustrating and I don't know

4164
04:51:14,740 --> 04:51:18,740
not I don't know how to solve it I'm not I know how to solve

4165
04:51:18,740 --> 04:51:22,740
it they just need to like stop doing that but I'm not in a position where I have any power

4166
04:51:22,740 --> 04:51:26,740
to force anybody to do that I'm

4167
04:51:26,740 --> 04:51:30,740
I think it's something that I think it's something that

4168
04:51:30,740 --> 04:51:34,740
as an industry not as an industry as industries

4169
04:51:34,740 --> 04:51:38,740
whether it's like media industry or

4170
04:51:38,740 --> 04:51:42,740
oil and gas resource exploration industry or whatever as industries

4171
04:51:42,740 --> 04:51:46,740
we're gonna have to come together and figure out tools that we can use that are not

4172
04:51:46,740 --> 04:51:50,740
reliant on this stuff and we we haven't and I guess in a way

4173
04:51:50,740 --> 04:51:54,740
we kind of we kind of have ourselves to blame as well

4174
04:51:54,740 --> 04:51:58,740
if we if we allow these these these tool makers

4175
04:51:58,740 --> 04:52:02,740
these these software developers to sort of bend

4176
04:52:02,740 --> 04:52:06,740
us over a barrel like this and I guess that's kind of on us

4177
04:52:06,740 --> 04:52:10,740
at least to a degree come help me oh what's up there's no instruction manual so which way

4178
04:52:10,740 --> 04:52:14,740
do these go on oh sure oh it's down there

4179
04:52:14,740 --> 04:52:18,740
it just fell out oh yeah okay cool well first you're going to need the spacers

4180
04:52:18,740 --> 04:52:22,740
spacers you need the blue spacers so basically what you'll do is you'll

4181
04:52:22,740 --> 04:52:26,740
hold this on they used to come with adhesive on a lot of the aio

4182
04:52:26,740 --> 04:52:30,740
water cooling kits and stuff but they don't anymore so you'll hold this on

4183
04:52:30,740 --> 04:52:34,740
and then you'll put all your blue spacers on and then you'll put

4184
04:52:34,740 --> 04:52:38,740
these on like this right like

4185
04:52:38,740 --> 04:52:42,740
that okay and then like that on the other side so the curve out

4186
04:52:42,740 --> 04:52:46,740
and then do I put these blue washers on or screws or whatever

4187
04:52:46,740 --> 04:52:50,740
then you put the black screws on top okay so here why don't

4188
04:52:50,740 --> 04:52:54,740
you do one to completion because that'll hold the back plate in place

4189
04:52:54,740 --> 04:52:58,740
I'll just I'll hold this for you I mean it's not like I have to build a computer

4190
04:52:58,740 --> 04:53:02,740
to yeah I mean you can't leave till I'm done so

4191
04:53:02,740 --> 04:53:06,740
this actually I can we drop separately today

4192
04:53:08,740 --> 04:53:12,740
but I wouldn't that means I can leave

4193
04:53:12,740 --> 04:53:16,740
without you too yeah but you're not done on your computer

4194
04:53:18,740 --> 04:53:22,740
alright there you go there you go

4195
04:53:22,740 --> 04:53:26,740
yeah I think this is your other one here okay what am I what am I even working on

4196
04:53:26,740 --> 04:53:30,740
oh I gotta get my powers to play okay hit me Dan just got an s90d qto led

4197
04:53:30,740 --> 04:53:34,740
why did Samsung have to put the badonka donk and vase them out all the way

4198
04:53:34,740 --> 04:53:38,740
the bottom of the TV that's a funny thing

4199
04:53:38,740 --> 04:53:42,740
I've stopped making fun of it because I'm just used to it now I guess

4200
04:53:42,740 --> 04:53:46,740
but back when LG did their first few generations of OLEDs

4201
04:53:46,740 --> 04:53:50,740
it was right on the heels it was it was coming up into the brightness

4202
04:53:50,740 --> 04:53:54,740
war the brightness war hadn't really started yet and it was

4203
04:53:54,740 --> 04:53:58,740
it was right off the heels of the

4204
04:53:58,740 --> 04:54:02,740
I think we were in the midst of the number of K's war and we

4205
04:54:02,740 --> 04:54:06,740
were coming off of the thinness war and

4206
04:54:06,740 --> 04:54:10,740
LG would have this ridiculous marketing for their early OLEDs

4207
04:54:10,740 --> 04:54:14,740
boasting that they were just four millimeters thin or whatever

4208
04:54:14,740 --> 04:54:18,740
but it would be you know along the top

4209
04:54:18,740 --> 04:54:22,740
and then they'd have this giant caboose at the bottom so it's

4210
04:54:22,740 --> 04:54:26,740
not like you can get it any closer to the wall that is until they did their gallery series

4211
04:54:26,740 --> 04:54:30,740
I'm talking about the earlier ones and I remember making fun of it back then

4212
04:54:30,740 --> 04:54:34,740
and then I just kind of forgot about the ridiculousness of it

4213
04:54:34,740 --> 04:54:38,740
but no you're a hundred percent right it's hilarious

4214
04:54:38,740 --> 04:54:42,740
to kind of market your TV as that much thinner

4215
04:54:42,740 --> 04:54:46,740
when actually at the thickest point it's not really thinner at all and I don't have a solution

4216
04:54:46,740 --> 04:54:50,740
to that other than to say Samsung why are you so silly

4217
04:54:50,740 --> 04:54:54,740
that's all I got hey speaking of Samsung

4218
04:54:54,740 --> 04:54:58,740
dude this TV has turned so many heads

4219
04:54:58,740 --> 04:55:02,740
I was freaking out about this the other week so this is high senses

4220
04:55:02,740 --> 04:55:06,740
like kind of knockoff of the of the Samsung

4221
04:55:06,740 --> 04:55:10,740
frame what they call it Canvas it's the high sense canvas

4222
04:55:10,740 --> 04:55:14,740
this thing dude I want this thing so bad hey Von remember

4223
04:55:14,740 --> 04:55:18,740
in the living room how we had them put those recessed power outlets where

4224
04:55:18,740 --> 04:55:22,740
the previous owner had those like art illumination lights

4225
04:55:22,740 --> 04:55:26,740
I want to I want to get once these get a little cheaper

4226
04:55:26,740 --> 04:55:30,740
I want to get two of these and put them there because it's incredible dude you haven't seen this yet

4227
04:55:30,740 --> 04:55:34,740
I don't think but man they

4228
04:55:34,740 --> 04:55:38,740
nailed it they nailed the look I think we got this for a short so we never even

4229
04:55:38,740 --> 04:55:42,740
like made a full video about it or anything it has the has the magnetic

4230
04:55:42,740 --> 04:55:46,740
interchangeable things on it just like the Samsung frame one does

4231
04:55:46,740 --> 04:55:50,740
I don't actually know how to put the gallery on

4232
04:55:50,740 --> 04:55:54,740
yeah I assume somewhere in here something art mode there we go

4233
04:55:54,740 --> 04:55:58,740
okay man they nailed the finish they nailed

4234
04:55:58,740 --> 04:56:02,740
the illumination so Yvonne check this out

4235
04:56:02,740 --> 04:56:06,740
you should get you get her side does that not just look like a painting

4236
04:56:06,740 --> 04:56:10,740
yeah it does I don't like the frame but yeah it does

4237
04:56:10,740 --> 04:56:14,740
oh it's interchangeable okay but like shoot

4238
04:56:14,740 --> 04:56:18,740
sorry you distracted me and I dropped the screw dude it just looks like a painting

4239
04:56:18,740 --> 04:56:22,740
it's it's a wine it blew my mind

4240
04:56:22,740 --> 04:56:26,740
and like it is backlit and if if you catch it a light directly

4241
04:56:26,740 --> 04:56:30,740
it'll have glare on it and like stuff like it's still a TV but they just

4242
04:56:30,740 --> 04:56:34,740
and the viewing angles aren't perfect but compared to

4243
04:56:34,740 --> 04:56:38,740
everything else that I've seen they just nailed it

4244
04:56:38,740 --> 04:56:42,740
I don't know how to there we go

4245
04:56:42,740 --> 04:56:46,740
it's so good it is so good yeah it like really manages to

4246
04:56:46,740 --> 04:56:50,740
by being this flat and by doing a good job of I guess ambient light sensing or something I don't

4247
04:56:50,740 --> 04:56:54,740
know I don't even know I like I said I I didn't even work on a video for it or anything but

4248
04:56:54,740 --> 04:56:58,740
it just does a really good job of seeming like it's just

4249
04:56:58,740 --> 04:57:02,740
naturally lit I don't know it's really cool TV

4250
04:57:02,740 --> 04:57:06,740
and what's funny is like you don't think about this

4251
04:57:06,740 --> 04:57:10,740
until you go to actually shop for it but buying an art

4252
04:57:10,740 --> 04:57:14,740
you know like going to a gallery and buying art

4253
04:57:14,740 --> 04:57:18,740
is so expensive like it would actually cost

4254
04:57:18,740 --> 04:57:22,740
if we wanted to get like a good one or something

4255
04:57:22,740 --> 04:57:26,740
like it would actually cost as much if not more to buy a nice

4256
04:57:26,740 --> 04:57:30,740
frame and a nice art to put on the wall and compared to the TV I've just put a TV

4257
04:57:30,740 --> 04:57:34,740
in there and I can have whatever art I want even just the frame would probably cost as much as the TV

4258
04:57:34,740 --> 04:57:38,740
which I know is such a horrible like bonkers tech

4259
04:57:38,740 --> 04:57:42,740
bro way to think about it but I just I don't seem very practical to me

4260
04:57:42,740 --> 04:57:46,740
so yeah I want two of those actually which means

4261
04:57:46,740 --> 04:57:50,740
that we can put that Michael Buble thing downstairs instead of having it above

4262
04:57:50,740 --> 04:57:54,740
the piano and then we don't have to come up with anything else to put there sure you can do that

4263
04:57:54,740 --> 04:57:58,740
as long as you help me put this in oh okay

4264
04:57:58,740 --> 04:58:02,740
oh okay here's your problem this fan needs to come off

4265
04:58:02,740 --> 04:58:06,740
oh yeah they ship it with it on just to save space in the package and I guess to

4266
04:58:06,740 --> 04:58:10,740
like show you how it works because you're gonna have to put the other one on for yourself anyway

4267
04:58:10,740 --> 04:58:14,740
but it just goes like this there you go

4268
04:58:14,740 --> 04:58:18,740
and then you screw those see those screws that you can now see yeah yeah you screw those in

4269
04:58:18,740 --> 04:58:22,740
why doesn't this come with instructions hmm probably when

4270
04:58:22,740 --> 04:58:26,740
the systems were prepped someone misplaced them

4271
04:58:26,740 --> 04:58:30,740
story of my life why did someone

4272
04:58:30,740 --> 04:58:34,740
you know lose this I don't know

4273
04:58:34,740 --> 04:58:38,740
it's a really good question you know what the reality of it is people are for the most part

4274
04:58:38,740 --> 04:58:42,740
doing their best and you know stuff happens I mean

4275
04:58:42,740 --> 04:58:46,740
there's no way that I have perfectly kept track of every little piece of everything

4276
04:58:46,740 --> 04:58:50,740
I've had out today so not gonna judge today not today

4277
04:58:50,740 --> 04:58:54,740
um and there was there were a lot of systems to prep

4278
04:58:54,740 --> 04:58:58,740
you look at poor Jordan over there look how tired he looks

4279
04:58:58,740 --> 04:59:02,740
do you think it's bad as Linus I said do you think it's bad as Linus

4280
04:59:02,740 --> 04:59:06,740
no he hasn't had to build new computers I can't hear you

4281
04:59:06,740 --> 04:59:10,740
can't hear you no he his hard work was like

4282
04:59:10,740 --> 04:59:14,740
yesterday yeah

4283
04:59:14,740 --> 04:59:18,740
I can't believe we got 16 computers built today

4284
04:59:18,740 --> 04:59:22,740
and we did not all of them happened on camera like Dennis made it like

4285
04:59:22,740 --> 04:59:26,740
40% of the way in Dan you think if you look through the door to your right Andy there's a whole bunch out there

4286
04:59:26,740 --> 04:59:28,740
yeah yeah Andy you should go check them out

4287
04:59:30,740 --> 04:59:34,740
here we go I think you mean to the left though

4288
04:59:36,740 --> 04:59:40,740
hey there they are so who actually like worked on them there you go

4289
04:59:40,740 --> 04:59:44,740
there's Reese Dylan and Josh and Reese and Justin

4290
04:59:44,740 --> 04:59:48,740
hey Justin maybe new guy

4291
04:59:48,740 --> 04:59:52,740
okay how bad were mine were mine okay

4292
04:59:52,740 --> 04:59:56,740
mine were okay alright nice

4293
04:59:58,740 --> 05:00:02,740
well that was the deal today is I had to build computers till I got good at it

4294
05:00:02,740 --> 05:00:06,740
so uh if Reese and Justin say I'm good at it then I guess I'm good at it

4295
05:00:06,740 --> 05:00:10,740
I guess I don't have to build computers anymore that's interesting how many computers do you think

4296
05:00:10,740 --> 05:00:14,740
a new person somebody who's never ever done it before would have to build to become an expert

4297
05:00:16,740 --> 05:00:20,740
see that's a tough question because it depends on what you want

4298
05:00:20,740 --> 05:00:24,740
to be an expert at and I know you just

4299
05:00:24,740 --> 05:00:26,740
said at building computers smart guy

4300
05:00:28,740 --> 05:00:32,740
but just because you are good at building say for example modern

4301
05:00:32,740 --> 05:00:36,740
computers that doesn't mean that you would be good at

4302
05:00:36,740 --> 05:00:40,740
if someone were to bring you an older machine that they needed

4303
05:00:40,740 --> 05:00:44,740
help fixing for example so like there are different

4304
05:00:44,740 --> 05:00:48,740
there are different eras of computer hardware that you could be

4305
05:00:48,740 --> 05:00:52,740
an expert at and just because you're an expert at one of them

4306
05:00:52,740 --> 05:00:56,740
doesn't mean you would know anything about others um and so

4307
05:00:56,740 --> 05:00:58,740
I think it's really hard to quantify because

4308
05:01:02,740 --> 05:01:06,740
oh shoot did I just pull that out like if you handed someone

4309
05:01:06,740 --> 05:01:10,740
from you know the the p4

4310
05:01:10,740 --> 05:01:14,740
era an RGB wiring hub an RGB hub

4311
05:01:14,740 --> 05:01:18,740
and a bunch of RGB wiring and stuff they'd be like this is ridiculous right but

4312
05:01:18,740 --> 05:01:22,740
if you were to hand someone who's only ever built modern computers

4313
05:01:22,740 --> 05:01:26,740
IDE hard drives and optical drives they'd be like

4314
05:01:26,740 --> 05:01:30,740
what do you mean you slave a master I'm having flashbacks move the jumpers around

4315
05:01:30,740 --> 05:01:34,740
on the thing and you got cable select so then it should just know

4316
05:01:34,740 --> 05:01:38,740
where you plug it on the cable but that doesn't always work especially if one of the drives

4317
05:01:38,740 --> 05:01:42,740
was pulled out of an old machine that did have the jumpers set and like it's a whole

4318
05:01:42,740 --> 05:01:46,740
it's a whole thing right um no so

4319
05:01:46,740 --> 05:01:50,740
it's not so much that I would say you have to build a quantity

4320
05:01:50,740 --> 05:01:54,740
of computers as that I would say you have to build

4321
05:01:54,740 --> 05:01:58,740
um a variety of computers like

4322
05:01:58,740 --> 05:02:02,740
once you've done it enough the odds that you've kind of seen

4323
05:02:02,740 --> 05:02:06,740
every curve ball increase but if you were to just build

4324
05:02:06,740 --> 05:02:10,740
500 of the same computer I would say you are

4325
05:02:10,740 --> 05:02:14,740
probably not an expert I would say you are um you are

4326
05:02:14,740 --> 05:02:18,740
probably a really speedy assembly line worker but you are not necessarily

4327
05:02:18,740 --> 05:02:22,740
an expert computer builder at all you have to troubleshoot you have to you have to fix

4328
05:02:22,740 --> 05:02:26,740
other people's broken stuff you'll learn so much faster fixing other people's nonsense then you

4329
05:02:26,740 --> 05:02:30,740
will just building things from scratch and building them properly in the first place

4330
05:02:30,740 --> 05:02:34,740
um you also get a lot faster uh if you

4331
05:02:34,740 --> 05:02:38,740
if you have to fix because then like the pressure's on because people need

4332
05:02:38,740 --> 05:02:42,740
their stuff back but it's a new computer you know people go from not having it

4333
05:02:42,740 --> 05:02:46,740
to oh I don't know not having it until they have it whereas if it's something that they're used to

4334
05:02:46,740 --> 05:02:50,740
using and they need back right away there's just a lot of uh alright so it's

4335
05:02:50,740 --> 05:02:54,740
a when show streaming machine and you need to go live you know there's

4336
05:02:54,740 --> 05:02:58,740
you'll learn a lot more shortcuts and stuff and I'd say knowing the right

4337
05:02:58,740 --> 05:03:02,740
shortcuts and avoiding the wrong shortcuts is a big part of being an expert

4338
05:03:02,740 --> 05:03:06,740
right um I don't know see I would hesitate to even call

4339
05:03:06,740 --> 05:03:10,740
myself fully an expert because there's

4340
05:03:10,740 --> 05:03:14,740
types of hardware that I have never touched like if you

4341
05:03:14,740 --> 05:03:18,740
put you put an old like dual processor

4342
05:03:18,740 --> 05:03:22,740
Mac in front of me there'd be I'd probably be able to stumble my way

4343
05:03:22,740 --> 05:03:26,740
through it but there'd be a lot of stuff that I'm not familiar with

4344
05:03:26,740 --> 05:03:30,740
alright let's plug this in I want to do a build with you where we'll have

4345
05:03:30,740 --> 05:03:34,740
like a old 486 with the jumpers on the motherboard to configure everything

4346
05:03:34,740 --> 05:03:38,740
486 is

4347
05:03:38,740 --> 05:03:42,740
before my time I only really got into the DIY

4348
05:03:42,740 --> 05:03:46,740
scene in the Athlon XP late Pentium 4 era like like Northwood

4349
05:03:48,740 --> 05:03:52,740
I know a little bit from before that but the stuff that I know from before that is

4350
05:03:52,740 --> 05:03:56,740
way before that because I went straight from having in my room

4351
05:03:56,740 --> 05:04:00,740
a Pentium 90 I believe it was

4352
05:04:00,740 --> 05:04:04,740
either a Pentium 90 or a Pentium 166 Pentium 1

4353
05:04:04,740 --> 05:04:08,740
I went straight from that to buying myself an Athlon XP2500 plus

4354
05:04:08,740 --> 05:04:12,740
I missed the entire

4355
05:04:12,740 --> 05:04:16,740
early gaming era early 3D gaming everything I went straight from

4356
05:04:16,740 --> 05:04:20,740
playing like chips challenge okay like ANO 1602

4357
05:04:20,740 --> 05:04:24,740
to high fighter okay to like

4358
05:04:24,740 --> 05:04:28,740
Warcraft 3 everything in between

4359
05:04:28,740 --> 05:04:32,740
okay I shouldn't say everything in between I played Warcraft 2 on our

4360
05:04:32,740 --> 05:04:36,740
family computer which was a Pentium 200 MMX and then we didn't upgrade

4361
05:04:36,740 --> 05:04:40,740
that until we got a P4

4362
05:04:40,740 --> 05:04:44,740
2.66 so both our family computer

4363
05:04:44,740 --> 05:04:48,740
went from P1 to P4 and from P1 and my personal computer

4364
05:04:48,740 --> 05:04:52,740
which was an inherited one I didn't have it for that whole time I got it later and I was just happy to have anything

4365
05:04:52,740 --> 05:04:56,740
I just wanted MSN messenger in my room

4366
05:04:56,740 --> 05:05:00,740
so I went from a P1 myself to an Athlon XP

4367
05:05:00,740 --> 05:05:02,740
which was essentially P4 equivalent

4368
05:05:04,740 --> 05:05:08,740
and just absolutely nothing in between so you hear people talking about how their childhood was like

4369
05:05:08,740 --> 05:05:12,740
Unreal Tournament or like Quake or whatever I didn't play Quake

4370
05:05:12,740 --> 05:05:16,740
until I was running it on like an Athlon 64

4371
05:05:16,740 --> 05:05:20,740
that was when I first played Quake 3 like a LAN or something

4372
05:05:20,740 --> 05:05:24,740
okay all my RGB is working let's see if my system works

4373
05:05:24,740 --> 05:05:28,740
alright hit me Dan Hello Linus I work in

4374
05:05:28,740 --> 05:05:32,740
security monitoring and I get constant encounter customers with faulty

4375
05:05:32,740 --> 05:05:36,740
sensors which lead to false positives in what way can we improve the

4376
05:05:36,740 --> 05:05:40,740
technology used in alarm systems well

4377
05:05:40,740 --> 05:05:44,740
one of the ways to improve it would be to stop costing it down

4378
05:05:44,740 --> 05:05:48,740
that was something that I was super insistent on when we built out our

4379
05:05:48,740 --> 05:05:52,740
new house was that I didn't want anything wireless

4380
05:05:52,740 --> 05:05:56,740
nothing wireless I don't I don't like wireless as much

4381
05:05:56,740 --> 05:06:00,740
as I like wires so even like motion sensors

4382
05:06:00,740 --> 05:06:04,740
and stuff like that all wired

4383
05:06:04,740 --> 05:06:08,740
and honestly it's not even just like a security issue

4384
05:06:08,740 --> 05:06:12,740
or reliability issue necessarily although those are definitely advantages

4385
05:06:12,740 --> 05:06:16,740
the big thing for me is I just don't want to change batteries because as soon as you have

4386
05:06:16,740 --> 05:06:20,740
the whole point of a smart home is that everything's like connected and so as soon as you put a battery in

4387
05:06:20,740 --> 05:06:24,740
something you're changing it once every year or two and if you have 50 things in your house

4388
05:06:24,740 --> 05:06:28,740
that means you're going and changing some stupid usually some like random

4389
05:06:28,740 --> 05:06:32,740
button cell battery like once every week once every other week and you're not going to get around to it

4390
05:06:32,740 --> 05:06:36,740
and then it's going to kind of pile up and then it's just it's just such a nightmare

4391
05:06:36,740 --> 05:06:40,740
I'm not really answering your question but the point is finding

4392
05:06:40,740 --> 05:06:44,740
wired or it's like security equipment these days

4393
05:06:44,740 --> 05:06:48,740
it's not easy nobody wires anything up anymore

4394
05:06:48,740 --> 05:06:52,740
and a big part of that is that it's a cost down thing even though the wireless sensors are probably more expensive

4395
05:06:52,740 --> 05:06:56,740
the labor on installing them is way less

4396
05:06:56,740 --> 05:07:00,740
and so I guess what I'm trying to say is until the industry decides like oh yeah

4397
05:07:00,740 --> 05:07:04,740
we're going to stop costing down and we're going to start focusing on reliability

4398
05:07:04,740 --> 05:07:08,740
you're not going to see any change and so since no industry

4399
05:07:08,740 --> 05:07:12,740
is ever focused on quality these days and is always focused on costing

4400
05:07:12,740 --> 05:07:16,740
down I just don't think it's ever going to change you've done really well actually this is a

4401
05:07:16,740 --> 05:07:20,740
really good progress you don't want to screw your power supply in yet because

4402
05:07:20,740 --> 05:07:24,740
yeah you have absolute wow with your hands you can almost do it

4403
05:07:24,740 --> 05:07:28,740
that's crazy check this out Andy she can actually

4404
05:07:28,740 --> 05:07:32,740
at least attempt to plug in the give these like skinny chicken little wrists

4405
05:07:32,740 --> 05:07:36,740
look at her wrists so she can actually get in there and plug in the

4406
05:07:36,740 --> 05:07:40,740
GPU with the power supply yeah you're tonight

4407
05:07:40,740 --> 05:07:44,740
just like look at this

4408
05:07:44,740 --> 05:07:48,740
that's crazy it's hard to tell but

4409
05:07:48,740 --> 05:07:52,740
yeah there you go no I can't get in there

4410
05:07:52,740 --> 05:07:56,740
well just no no you are just the power supply it's easier if you have the power supply unplugged

4411
05:07:56,740 --> 05:08:00,740
and you plug them all in and then put it in but that's okay you don't actually have to finish

4412
05:08:00,740 --> 05:08:04,740
I'm done mine which is when each one ends so are we only 17 minutes over time

4413
05:08:04,740 --> 05:08:08,740
oh yeah wow that's not bad considering we were like

4414
05:08:08,740 --> 05:08:12,740
17 minutes behind at the beginning on the first one and my last one

4415
05:08:12,740 --> 05:08:16,740
I believe should be good to go alright so I think

4416
05:08:16,740 --> 05:08:20,740
all that we have left is a couple more merch messages right Dan? that's right we got about

4417
05:08:20,740 --> 05:08:24,740
7 to go okay hit me Dan sure hello Linus what would you say is the most clever ringtone

4418
05:08:24,740 --> 05:08:28,740
message tone that you've had on your phone over the years I have the sound of the ping

4419
05:08:28,740 --> 05:08:32,740
from an M1 grand it's a head turner at work

4420
05:08:32,740 --> 05:08:36,740
I gotta be honest with you guys I haven't customized my ringtone since my

4421
05:08:36,740 --> 05:08:40,740
Samsung Jive I just don't care

4422
05:08:40,740 --> 05:08:44,740
I am running on both of my phones you will see

4423
05:08:44,740 --> 05:08:48,740
this is not a thing I make up I am running whatever

4424
05:08:48,740 --> 05:08:52,740
default wallpaper shipped on them

4425
05:08:52,740 --> 05:08:56,740
other than making sure that all of my icons are organized in groups and are where

4426
05:08:56,740 --> 05:09:00,740
I can find them quickly and easily when I have something to do my phone is not

4427
05:09:00,740 --> 05:09:04,740
an expression of my wallpaper is not an expression of myself

4428
05:09:04,740 --> 05:09:08,740
neither is my ringtone I think one of my favorites was actually

4429
05:09:08,740 --> 05:09:12,740
from a gentleman who used to work here Tyler

4430
05:09:12,740 --> 05:09:16,740
who unfortunately passed away way too early he was taken from us

4431
05:09:16,740 --> 05:09:20,740
and he had crazy frog as his ringtone which

4432
05:09:20,740 --> 05:09:24,740
every once in a while he would forget to mute when we were shooting and

4433
05:09:24,740 --> 05:09:28,740
I could never really be mad about it because it was so funny

4434
05:09:28,740 --> 05:09:32,740
bing bing da ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

4435
05:09:32,740 --> 05:09:36,740
hey oh shit quiet on set

4436
05:09:36,740 --> 05:09:38,740
that's good stuff good old Tyler

4437
05:09:40,740 --> 05:09:44,740
I have not been to Dreamhack Sweden Matthias

4438
05:09:44,740 --> 05:09:48,740
a dinos and land love the channels it's my gateway

4439
05:09:48,740 --> 05:09:52,740
to getting into tech can we get some behind the scenes videos of creator warehouse

4440
05:09:52,740 --> 05:09:56,740
processes and group things since we have Tatiana from CW

4441
05:09:56,740 --> 05:10:00,740
we got some stuff that is up on Floatplane right now oh you can also subscribe

4442
05:10:00,740 --> 05:10:04,740
on youtube members if you don't mind paying more for no reason

4443
05:10:04,740 --> 05:10:08,740
other than just that it's convenient because your credit card is already in the system

4444
05:10:08,740 --> 05:10:12,740
but otherwise go to LMG.gg that's the way to go

4445
05:10:12,740 --> 05:10:16,740
and yeah we have some stuff there and I think there's more coming what video during your 16 years

4446
05:10:16,740 --> 05:10:20,740
would you like to redo for any reason oh man I would imagine

4447
05:10:20,740 --> 05:10:24,740
if I were to go back and watch almost anything older than the last year or so I'd probably

4448
05:10:24,740 --> 05:10:28,740
see so many things that I would change about them

4449
05:10:28,740 --> 05:10:32,740
you know more detail here better production value there

4450
05:10:32,740 --> 05:10:36,740
fix my hair here you know like whatever

4451
05:10:36,740 --> 05:10:40,740
right like I like something that I like regret

4452
05:10:40,740 --> 05:10:44,740
I mean I'd say I probably said a lot of stuff on WAN Show that I

4453
05:10:44,740 --> 05:10:46,740
that hasn't held up I've

4454
05:10:48,740 --> 05:10:52,740
I would undo saying well no one will ever use crypto for like actual purchases back when

4455
05:10:52,740 --> 05:10:56,740
that guy bought that house that's one that I I like to bring up

4456
05:10:56,740 --> 05:10:58,740
a bad Linus don't make bold predictions like that

4457
05:11:00,740 --> 05:11:04,740
what else you got let's see thank you and the team for inspiring

4458
05:11:04,740 --> 05:11:08,740
to learn more about technology Linus what is a piece of advice you would give to your 22 year old self

4459
05:11:08,740 --> 05:11:10,740
marry that girl

4460
05:11:12,740 --> 05:11:14,740
good advice

4461
05:11:16,740 --> 05:11:20,740
really enjoyed the Equinix data center tour did you find anything there set up to be

4462
05:11:20,740 --> 05:11:24,740
applicable to how LTT manages servers and workstations

4463
05:11:24,740 --> 05:11:28,740
so going back to the last one I cannot emphasize enough the importance of finding

4464
05:11:28,740 --> 05:11:32,740
a partner that builds you up rather than that holds you

4465
05:11:32,740 --> 05:11:36,740
down so yeah that was the best advice I could give my

4466
05:11:36,740 --> 05:11:40,740
22 year old self I think

4467
05:11:40,740 --> 05:11:44,740
when did we get married how old even was I maybe 22

4468
05:11:44,740 --> 05:11:48,740
I already knew so 2011 minus

4469
05:11:48,740 --> 05:11:52,740
2006 who can even do math

4470
05:11:52,740 --> 05:11:56,740
I can't do mental math not this late in the day

4471
05:11:56,740 --> 05:12:00,740
yeah I've been live for four hours there's no way I'm doing mental math dance got it he's on it

4472
05:12:00,740 --> 05:12:04,740
he's not on it but he's going to be now that I've said that he's on it I don't think he was even listening

4473
05:12:04,740 --> 05:12:08,740
alright fine I'll do it he didn't even have his mic

4474
05:12:08,740 --> 05:12:12,740
hot when he was saying that it's been a long day for all of us

4475
05:12:12,740 --> 05:12:16,740
we were 25 okay yeah that would have been good advice for me at that age

4476
05:12:16,740 --> 05:12:20,740
anyway equinix um no there's like

4477
05:12:20,740 --> 05:12:24,740
there's definitely really cool stuff about their setup but everything that they do

4478
05:12:24,740 --> 05:12:28,740
is done properly and even if

4479
05:12:28,740 --> 05:12:32,740
we could afford to do things properly like they do

4480
05:12:32,740 --> 05:12:36,740
A that's no fun and B it doesn't necessarily make sense for us

4481
05:12:36,740 --> 05:12:40,740
like the number of people that I've seen come at me about

4482
05:12:40,740 --> 05:12:44,740
the fact that we don't have we still don't have a backup for the vault

4483
05:12:44,740 --> 05:12:48,740
there is no backup for the vault and the reason

4484
05:12:48,740 --> 05:12:52,740
is because we just don't need it that badly we need it

4485
05:12:52,740 --> 05:12:56,740
exactly as much as um

4486
05:12:56,740 --> 05:13:00,740
or like that our willingness to resource into it

4487
05:13:00,740 --> 05:13:04,740
is exactly equal to the effort that we put in

4488
05:13:04,740 --> 05:13:08,740
to make the most affordable

4489
05:13:08,740 --> 05:13:12,740
sensible possible mass storage box that we could

4490
05:13:12,740 --> 05:13:16,740
you know making cool content in mind and no more

4491
05:13:16,740 --> 05:13:20,740
we're not willing to spend money to retain that data it's all finished projects

4492
05:13:20,740 --> 05:13:24,740
shipped projects if we have it it's great it's actually convenient

4493
05:13:24,740 --> 05:13:28,740
and if we don't have it we will keep making videos without it

4494
05:13:28,740 --> 05:13:32,740
we'll download copies off of youtube I mean even flow plane has years and years and years

4495
05:13:32,740 --> 05:13:36,740
of archived video on it that we can download at full quality no problem

4496
05:13:36,740 --> 05:13:40,740
so it's very rare that we go back to an old project

4497
05:13:40,740 --> 05:13:44,740
that wasn't in the final cut almost I mean

4498
05:13:44,740 --> 05:13:48,740
I don't want to use the N word right I don't want to say never but almost

4499
05:13:48,740 --> 05:13:52,740
never there's no one from the editing team in here I don't think hey Nicole are you

4500
05:13:52,740 --> 05:13:56,740
here oh she's gone okay oh yeah

4501
05:13:56,740 --> 05:14:00,740
we're probably getting ready for badminton night let's go it's Tuesday

4502
05:14:00,740 --> 05:14:04,740
wait it's Tuesday wait what time does badminton night start Vaughn

4503
05:14:04,740 --> 05:14:08,740
it started already we're late oh balls

4504
05:14:08,740 --> 05:14:12,740
yeah I didn't realize how late it was cool what was I

4505
05:14:12,740 --> 05:14:16,740
what question was I answering why don't we have backups for the motherboard

4506
05:14:16,740 --> 05:14:20,740
oh yeah because we don't care I was gonna ask Nicole how often do you guys like use

4507
05:14:20,740 --> 05:14:22,740
that and she was gonna say never

4508
05:14:24,740 --> 05:14:28,740
it's come up a couple times but it's very rarely yeah okay and as you said

4509
05:14:28,740 --> 05:14:32,740
it's often not necessary yeah we don't really need that

4510
05:14:32,740 --> 05:14:36,740
honestly we would have backups if Linus cared

4511
05:14:36,740 --> 05:14:40,740
yeah but I'm not gonna I'm not gonna put money into something and then

4512
05:14:40,740 --> 05:14:44,740
I have people asking okay well like why did you guys bother to recover it when it failed

4513
05:14:44,740 --> 05:14:48,740
well because it's interesting it is actually yeah because it was really

4514
05:14:48,740 --> 05:14:52,740
interesting that was why Wendell contributed a not insignificant amount of time because

4515
05:14:52,740 --> 05:14:56,740
it was a really cool learning experience for what happens if you just allow a

4516
05:14:56,740 --> 05:15:00,740
gigantic ZFS server the rot

4517
05:15:00,740 --> 05:15:04,740
yeah we don't let it rot anymore so that's good we learned something

4518
05:15:04,740 --> 05:15:08,740
so that's cool but other than that yeah we're not willing to put any money into it

4519
05:15:08,740 --> 05:15:12,740
because it just doesn't matter that much we still replace drives and keep it up to date

4520
05:15:12,740 --> 05:15:16,740
like we do maintenance on it right yep but if we lost it it would have

4521
05:15:16,740 --> 05:15:20,740
zero impact on our business and at the end of the day it comes down to

4522
05:15:20,740 --> 05:15:24,740
dollars and cents when you're making investments into the business and it's doesn't make sense

4523
05:15:26,740 --> 05:15:30,740
that's all I got? alright well hey thank you guys so much

4524
05:15:30,740 --> 05:15:34,740
for tuning into suite 16 everyone who bought a system today

4525
05:15:34,740 --> 05:15:38,740
we're going to be making a really nice little charitable

4526
05:15:38,740 --> 05:15:42,740
contribution hopefully this week but maybe

4527
05:15:42,740 --> 05:15:46,740
next week well either way we want to get it done before the end of the year

4528
05:15:46,740 --> 05:15:50,740

4533
05:16:06,740 --> 05:16:10,740

05:16:10,740 --> 05:16:14,740
the ones that are turning Scroogeberry backwards I'm like I'm listening to you talk

4535
05:16:14,740 --> 05:16:18,740
