WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.080
audience on Facebook, my grandmother.

00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:07.560
Why does Facebook get early shows?

00:00:07.560 --> 00:00:10.600
Are we early on Twitch too? Yeah. Yeah.

00:00:10.600 --> 00:00:14.240
So it's Float Plain, Facebook, and Twitch.

00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:18.040
Get the stream early. Why? Riley's trying to wrap his brain around this.

00:00:18.040 --> 00:00:21.200
Because my grandmother watches on Facebook, Riley.

00:00:21.200 --> 00:00:24.360
No, I'm kidding. Hi, Grandma Linus. Yeah.

00:00:24.360 --> 00:00:29.240
Well, for some reason, everyone calls her Grandma Linus.

00:00:29.240 --> 00:00:32.960
I'm sorry, we're live right now. Oh, yeah. Hi. Hey, Floaters.

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.

00:00:37.480 --> 00:00:40.600
Do not do a sponsor read. Do not do an ad? They hate those.

00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:44.720
Speaking of hating those. I.

00:00:44.720 --> 00:00:48.760
Here's something you won't hate. My hat.

00:00:48.760 --> 00:00:52.960
Yeah, brought to you by hats.com. I have no idea what hats.com is.

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.

00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.280
That'd be a great fishing hat. That really would be a great fishing hat.

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.

00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.640
Fishing hat, and it just like has a QR code on the front.

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.

00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:20.960
Just like a fishing hat style hat. Is that as funny as I think it is?

00:01:20.960 --> 00:01:25.240
Why haven't we made that already? I'm just checking down. Just check.

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.

00:01:29.960 --> 00:01:33.320
Andy, basically, if I'm not looking at you,

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,

00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.680
then assume that he might respond it. So oh my god, Riley.

00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:46.480
Can't get me. This is why we don't let him on LTT.

00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:48.920
Can't get me. What? Andy, what is your number one?

00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:55.920
All right, cool. Flow Plane Chat loves the fishing hat.

00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:02.080
Yeah, that's fair. Birthday fish hat. Dang.

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.

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.

00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:17.640
I guess that's what we settled on. Double Swing 16.

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.

00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:25.480
This one just disconnected. And it was being really leggy before.

00:02:25.480 --> 00:02:29.480
Can we pair a different controller? OK, that would be great.

00:02:29.480 --> 00:02:33.640
Because it was like, I'd click, and it would be like,

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.

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.

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.

00:02:45.760 --> 00:02:49.000
Do I only really need it for the intro? Nice.

00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:50.400
I knew they were here somewhere.

00:02:54.720 --> 00:02:57.760
Ah, got a remote.

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

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

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.

00:03:14.200 --> 00:03:14.840
Bluetooth.

00:03:18.600 --> 00:03:22.240
Well, no, that's problematic for its own reasons.

00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:28.240
Do you see the blurred out things? Well, occasionally it kind of dangles down, like,

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

00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:37.680
to them as they, like, dangle there. It's a dual shot.

00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:43.440
You never can tell what those redditors are going to do.

00:03:49.880 --> 00:03:55.480
Should I forget it? Yeah, we could be. All right.

00:03:55.480 --> 00:03:58.760
OK. All right, Dlinus, try that.

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.

00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:08.480
Oh, God, I got it, I got it. Thanks, Andy.

00:04:08.480 --> 00:04:11.600
OK, oh, she's so responsive. Look at that.

00:04:11.600 --> 00:04:15.400
Look at that. All right, we doing this thing? Let's do this thing!

00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:18.920
See, you're going to get so many headshots with that prompter. So many headshots.

00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:22.120
Oh, yeah, because it's low-latency, I get it. Hit markers.

00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:31.120
OK, perfect. Dan, did you hear that?

00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.320
Oh, yeah. Does it sound like Call of Duty hit markers? They do. Just like them.

00:04:34.320 --> 00:04:37.480
Thank you. Thank you, Riley. Thank you.

00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:41.080
It's a good thing you're here. I got all the tech tips.

00:04:41.080 --> 00:04:44.720
Who are my other co-hosts? Are they in, like, in the same room?

00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.880
You don't need any one else.

00:04:47.880 --> 00:04:49.740
I got all the tech tips you need. Ah!

00:04:55.080 --> 00:04:59.480
All right, cool. Oliver says at least buy us dinner first.

00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:04.280
What? Well, about your mouth sounds.

00:05:04.280 --> 00:05:08.640
What? You should be so lucky. OK, all the mouth sounds you need.

00:05:08.640 --> 00:05:12.080
OK, let's do this thing. I'm pushing it.

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.

00:05:17.400 --> 00:05:20.840
Who else?

00:05:20.840 --> 00:05:25.080
Oh, right. I was going to put the hat on. How's my hair?

00:05:25.080 --> 00:05:29.600
Beautiful. Are you going to be wearing a hat anyway? Here.

00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:33.000
I'm going to take it off after. It's your birthday, Linus.

00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:36.200
Just wing it. Whatever goes.

00:05:36.200 --> 00:05:41.000
This isn't 16 candles. I said 16 candles.

00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:45.400
This is bull spit. This is eight candles.

00:05:45.400 --> 00:05:49.160
Oh, is it eight, though? Times two.

00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:52.160
Because it's a double sweet 16 birthday.

00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:58.240
I love playing the diva character. But enough people in our audience take it seriously.

00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:02.560
And then I don't really get to do it anymore. Wait, it's a character?

00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:05.400
Wait. What are you talking about, Linus?

00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.080
OK. He was hitting me minutes ago.

00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:16.600
OK, I'm punching it. I'm punching it.

00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.840
It's the stream, not you, Riley.

00:06:20.840 --> 00:06:23.700
Not when we're live. OK.

00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:30.480
OK. OK. Oh, quiet, that's it.

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.

00:06:38.400 --> 00:06:43.320
Do you need 30 seconds? They can't even.

00:06:43.320 --> 00:06:46.840
Yvonne can confirm. I've got 30 seconds. All right.

00:06:46.840 --> 00:06:49.040
What? I can give you 30 seconds. I don't even.

00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:57.840
No, all right, here we go. Yvonne, get out of the way.

00:06:57.840 --> 00:07:01.840
OK, all right, all right, I'm punching it. I'm punching it.

00:07:01.840 --> 00:07:05.600
Punch it, shall we? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, except me.

00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:08.200
Because we actually have some. OK, hold on, I hit it, I hit it.

00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:13.400
We're doing a parsec.

00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:16.180
OK.

00:07:36.880 --> 00:07:43.520
And we're live. We are celebrating 16 years as a channel.

00:07:43.880 --> 00:07:51.600
And 16 million subscribers, and we're doing it the best way

00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:56.480
we know how by building computers with some generous help

00:07:56.480 --> 00:08:01.280
from our sponsor, Java. And from many of your favorite hardware manufacturers,

00:08:01.280 --> 00:08:04.440
we are building 16 gaming PCs that we're

00:08:04.440 --> 00:08:09.080
going to sell on Java for an amazing price of just $1,600

00:08:09.080 --> 00:08:12.680
each, and we will be donating the profits to charity.

00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:15.720
We're also going to be looking back at 16 years of memories,

00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.840
testing my recollection with some pricing challenges.

00:08:18.840 --> 00:08:24.160
Oh, no. And we're going to do it all in just four hours.

00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:27.240
Oh my god, we barely started and we're already

00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:31.960
like an hour behind, actually. OK, what am I supposed to be doing next?

00:08:31.960 --> 00:08:36.720
Ah, yes, when in doubt, segue to our sponsor.

00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:40.720
Java is the number one gaming marketplace to buy and sell gaming gear and get

00:08:40.760 --> 00:08:45.760
awesome custom PCs at the best prices. With Black Friday, just days away,

00:08:45.760 --> 00:08:49.960
what better time to buy a new custom gaming computer than now

00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:53.920
on Java.gg. Java's PC Finder can help you find the perfect PC

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

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.

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,

00:09:08.640 --> 00:09:12.360
including my fellow Canadian patriots. Also, the buyer may need to pay duties,

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

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.

00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:23.200
And I think the building that I'm supposed to get to

00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:26.240
is over here with my co-host Riley.

00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:30.720
Welcome Linus to my build station.

00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:34.480
We've got two different base builds. One is AMD, one is Intel.

00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:38.240
We're going to be building eight of each of them, two at a time.

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.

00:09:44.560 --> 00:09:48.680
The exact GPUs are going to be the one thing that varies.

00:09:48.680 --> 00:09:51.800
Java sent over a dozen GPUs for us,

00:09:51.800 --> 00:09:55.200
and Jordan over there is going to be interrupting us

00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:58.880
with some memories from each of our 16 years

00:09:58.880 --> 00:10:05.160
as a channel as we go. So without further ado, why don't we get started?

00:10:05.160 --> 00:10:08.720
Which one do you want to do Riley? I don't know.

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.

00:10:12.560 --> 00:10:15.840
I did build some at LCT, but I was going to say since NCIX,

00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:19.560
but no, it's been. Are these custom stickers?

00:10:19.560 --> 00:10:24.040
That's so cool. Double Suite 16. Are we putting them on the computers?

00:10:24.040 --> 00:10:29.360
That is so cool too. 32 stream.

00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:32.800
Because it's double Suite 16. I get it Riley.

00:10:32.800 --> 00:10:35.800
Thank you.

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.

00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:42.400
We could just do it if you want. We only have half an hour.

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?

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?

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.

00:10:56.160 --> 00:11:00.360
No pressure on me. OK, well, hey, while I get the motherboard and CPU

00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:04.080
and stuff built up, why don't we do your first little memory

00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:10.000
thing, Jordan? All righty then. Well, let's talk about the first memory

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:15.120
from our first year, which was November 2008 to 2009.

00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:18.760
What video do you think got the most views in that time?

00:11:18.760 --> 00:11:22.240
2008 to 2009? Yeah.

00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:27.080
Brother, I probably couldn't tell you a single video

00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:30.560
that we uploaded in 2008 to 2009.

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.

00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:42.200
I'm going to say it was an unboxing, which

00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:45.520
is, I know, a very bold guess, you know,

00:11:45.520 --> 00:11:49.200
that's pretty much everything we uploaded on the channel was unboxings at that time.

00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:52.600
It was just all unboxing. I'm going to say it was an unboxing.

00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:56.880
And is the question, which one got the most views

00:11:56.880 --> 00:12:00.920
during that time frame? Or which one got? During that year. During, oh.

00:12:00.920 --> 00:12:04.040
During the first year of LTC's existence. During the first year.

00:12:04.040 --> 00:12:08.440
Yeah, I went by each individual year.

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.

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.

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.

00:12:19.880 --> 00:12:23.840
I'm going to say it was an unboxing. Oh, I'm torn.

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.

00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:31.200
OK. Do you think it was a motherboard or a case?

00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:35.280
In 2008 to 2009? Yes. Big year for motherboards.

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.

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.

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

00:12:50.040 --> 00:12:53.120
that I got for university. Nice. OK.

00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:56.640
But I installed wine on it. OK. I was kind of a dork.

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?

00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:06.720
Huh? A little bit of both. I'm in second year university sitting at home,

00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:10.600
swilling, burning the midnight wine oil, studying.

00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:14.240
Yes. Economics.

00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:18.040
Is that what you studied? No. I was just trying to think of something

00:13:18.040 --> 00:13:22.880
that you might study in university. Right. Got it. What did you study in university?

00:13:22.880 --> 00:13:27.200
I actually don't know the answer. I got a psychology degree.

00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:31.880
How's that working out for you? Great. I've learned so much about you.

00:13:31.880 --> 00:13:35.120
Oh. You know what? That's kind of fun.

00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:38.560
I said in the what if like to work, did you watch it?

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

00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:47.640
shut down and or none of those people worked here anymore,

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.

00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:55.160
I did say that I have a psychology degree.

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

00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:03.800
and psychological profile or something to that degree. OK. Could you talk for?

00:14:03.800 --> 00:14:07.920
Nope. Not right now. Is that like an ethical thing?

00:14:07.920 --> 00:14:12.200
Like you're not allowed to? No, of course. It's the doctor-patient confidentiality.

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.

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.

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.

00:14:29.400 --> 00:14:33.920
Not even close. Not, not. Well, OK. Are you even the real Linus?

00:14:33.920 --> 00:14:37.160
I've got a camera right here. It's OK. Oh, he's got a camera.

00:14:37.160 --> 00:14:40.520
This big thing right here is called a camera.

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.

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.

00:14:52.880 --> 00:14:55.880
So Dan, are you just flipping between all the things?

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.

00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:04.320
Stop. He's got the video on the screen.

00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:08.120
Get out of here. This guy. This guy's like an old timey.

00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:11.120
What are you doing here, man? Come on.

00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:14.960
Oh, man. OK, all right. So not even close.

00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:19.600
Not even close. OK, well, I saw it's a GPU. Yep.

00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:25.160
Man. Maybe this will help you. It's got 25,000 views in that year.

00:15:25.160 --> 00:15:30.120
25,000 views? It's actually had more views this month

00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:31.680
than it did in the first month it was out.

00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:41.320
Wow. What was even the hotness back then?

00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:44.800
What if I break something here? Do I take this off? Don't do that.

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.

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

00:15:53.800 --> 00:15:57.280
because it prevents the hold down on the ILM

00:15:57.280 --> 00:16:00.680
from actually coming all the way up.

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.

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,

00:16:09.880 --> 00:16:14.440
it had the pins where the opposite way. Yeah, yeah. It was not LGA.

00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:18.520
The other one. PGA. Yeah? Yeah, you didn't get the old.

00:16:18.520 --> 00:16:21.880
No. That's right, though, right? PGA?

00:16:21.880 --> 00:16:25.160
Yeah, what the? I'm all about tech news now.

00:16:25.160 --> 00:16:29.200
I'm all about just talking about platforms and Google and antitrust.

00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:34.000
Yeah, it's LandGridAway. Man, I am off today.

00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:38.120
I have now tripped over my own tongue. Like four times already on the stream.

00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:42.040
LandGolf Association. LandGridArray.

00:16:42.040 --> 00:16:46.040
As opposed to the much more difficult Seagolf or PinGrid

00:16:46.040 --> 00:16:51.800
Array, those are the two options. Man, these are nice machines for $1,600.

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.

00:16:56.160 --> 00:17:01.600
It looks like we've got 32 gigs of DDR5 memory.

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,

00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:12.720
these would be costing hundreds of dollars more. And because of the generosity of our partners

00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:16.320
who provided the vast majority of the parts for them, here's your RAM, Riley.

00:17:16.320 --> 00:17:20.760
Oh, thank you. Yeah, we just kind of randomly moved the parts around.

00:17:20.760 --> 00:17:24.320
Because of the generosity of our partners who provided all these parts, when

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

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,

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.

00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:45.920
And when we talk about profits from the computers, it's the recrypto mining, right?

00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:49.400
What? Oh, man. What year do you think it is?

00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:52.560
It's been a while. Look, I'm building PCs. It's taking me back.

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,

00:17:57.120 --> 00:18:01.120
but we are headed into another crypto boom.

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.

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.

00:18:09.280 --> 00:18:13.160
We actually have a video coming on the main channel very soon.

00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:17.240
How do you use 9-channel? Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa.

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,

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.

00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:32.120
Like, on the one hand, you've got, according to the rumors,

00:18:32.120 --> 00:18:36.960
NVIDIA's 50 series coming. But on the other hand, according to the rumors,

00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:40.800
and also, you know, NVIDIA's pattern of behavior. Intel.

00:18:40.800 --> 00:18:44.000
Oh, sorry. No, you go, you go, you go, you go. I have so many thoughts.

00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:50.200
50 series isn't going to be cheap. And also, that could be exacerbated

00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:53.360
by the incoming US administration's plans

00:18:53.360 --> 00:18:58.240
to put some serious tariffs on basically all goods coming

00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:02.160
from, well, pretty much anywhere.

00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:05.360
I've caught up to you, by the way. You've caught up to me.

00:19:05.360 --> 00:19:10.080
I thought you were ahead the whole time. No. No, that won't be the case.

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.

00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:19.000
Well, no. I just thought you were mentioned to NVIDIA's cards coming up.

00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:22.600
Just this. Allegedly. Maybe. We don't know anything.

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.

00:19:30.080 --> 00:19:33.080
I did see those rumors. Yeah.

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

00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:44.280
division? Jeez, Louise. Like, if Battle Mage does not absolutely crush it,

00:19:44.320 --> 00:19:48.520
and move some serious numbers, are they just going to pack the whole thing up?

00:19:48.520 --> 00:19:51.720
Yeah. Well, I mean, I thought that they were packing this thing up

00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:55.240
already, because there were previous rumors talking about how they were like, OK,

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.

00:19:59.920 --> 00:20:03.640
Yeah, that wasn't even just a rumor. That was the CEO directly.

00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:06.960
You were just saying, we're not really going to focus on it. Yeah.

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

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

00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:22.200
anytime soon. Now that we've seen Battle Mage integrated into what

00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:28.640
has been a, I mean, by Intel's recent standards,

00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:32.840
successful launch, the integrated GPUs on Lunar Lake

00:20:32.840 --> 00:20:36.400
are part of what makes those processors a compelling option

00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:43.720
against AMD's own. So I don't think that Intel's GPU architecture unit

00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:47.440
is going to go anywhere, but it does seem kind of unlikely

00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:52.640
if these Battle Mage discrete GPUs don't absolutely crush it.

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.

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,

00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:04.880
oh, I missed this. Yeah, this was just this week, just on the weekend,

00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:08.120
actually, the ARC B580.

00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:13.680
So not the top one that they do, which was the A770,

00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:17.920
or the A750. 50, this is the A580.

00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:21.800
So this is the B580, the successor to their lowest one.

00:21:21.800 --> 00:21:25.440
I think it was one of the lowest.

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?

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?

00:21:34.600 --> 00:21:38.400
Oh, yeah, right. I should try and guess that video, then.

00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:41.080
OK, GPU 2008, 2009.

00:21:44.320 --> 00:21:48.640
This is post-8800 GTS. This is pre-98.

00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:51.640
Is this 8800 GT?

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.

00:21:58.520 --> 00:22:02.880
Is that too much? A little bit more. No, all right, fine. Can you just?

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.

00:22:06.360 --> 00:22:10.040
Show me the video. Dan's got the thumbnail there.

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.

00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:19.120
Oh, yeah. A computer screen, a computer tower. Hang on a second.

00:22:19.120 --> 00:22:23.520
We'll fix that. It's not a screen. It's quite opaque.

00:22:23.520 --> 00:22:27.040
Oh, it's an XFX.

00:22:27.040 --> 00:22:34.040
So that would be a 9800 GTX.

00:22:34.080 --> 00:22:40.520
5870. A 5870. Had they already made the switch to Radeon only?

00:22:40.520 --> 00:22:45.240
I'm not sure. No kidding. You're a fake tech tipper.

00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:49.880
Even I knew that. I totally forgot when XFX made the decision.

00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:54.560
I wonder all these years later, if they regret that move

00:22:54.560 --> 00:23:01.920
or not, because the old school among you will remember that like EVGA and BFG,

00:23:01.920 --> 00:23:05.600
XFX was actually NVIDIA exclusive

00:23:05.600 --> 00:23:13.680
before they went AMD exclusive. They are, to my knowledge, the one exclusive NVIDIA board

00:23:13.680 --> 00:23:19.040
partner who has ever just gone completely the other way

00:23:19.040 --> 00:23:23.600
and gone AMD or, well, Radeon exclusive.

00:23:23.600 --> 00:23:28.880
I think Gainword may have been NVIDIA exclusive at some point.

00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:33.320
Don't quote me on that one. In fact, don't anybody quote me on anything

00:23:33.320 --> 00:23:38.280
because I'm going to get my cheat sheet or, as I call them,

00:23:38.280 --> 00:23:42.960
Le Chat, the cat, the chat. I'm going to bring the chat up and see

00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:46.880
if you guys can remember anything that I'm forgetting here.

00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:51.200
Here we go. First time float planer, love the show. OK, great.

00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:57.200
I don't think that's working. We've had some intranet issues today,

00:23:57.240 --> 00:24:02.160
which is why the stream started an hour behind schedule.

00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:09.120
Oh, man. This is really taxing my brain here.

00:24:09.120 --> 00:24:12.560
It's been a while. Really? I don't do this anymore.

00:24:12.560 --> 00:24:16.080
Yeah, I guess that kind of makes sense. I stopped writing LTT videos because I really

00:24:16.080 --> 00:24:19.480
wanted to make tech longer than you let me to my surprise.

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.

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.

00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:31.840
But we'll have to see. Take longers. Take longers.

00:24:31.840 --> 00:24:34.920
I think that was that joke. It was made a number of times.

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.

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.

00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:48.160
Sorry, Riley. No, it was good.

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

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.

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.

00:25:00.840 --> 00:25:05.080
So I have a quick question for you, Jordan. Yes, sir.

00:25:05.080 --> 00:25:12.280
Not that I'm implying anything about my current co-host or anything of that nature.

00:25:12.280 --> 00:25:16.320
But how much help am I expecting to have, like, completing these PCs?

00:25:16.320 --> 00:25:19.680
Like, do most of the co-hosts. I'm helping you right now. You really are.

00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:23.440
Do most of the co-hosts know how to build computers?

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.

00:25:27.120 --> 00:25:31.080
Let's put that away. I just care about quality over quantity, OK?

00:25:31.080 --> 00:25:36.600
Take longers, right there. You have a mix of a veteran and somewhat less veteran help.

00:25:36.600 --> 00:25:40.600
Got it. Just so that we can sort of gear me up and prepare me

00:25:40.600 --> 00:25:44.720
for what's going to be happening today, who's my most veteran co-builder?

00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:47.760
Jeez, Linus. Don't say Riley.

00:25:47.760 --> 00:25:52.280
Don't say Riley. I'm honestly probably on the upper level side, right?

00:25:52.280 --> 00:25:55.840
I'll give it to Jake. Jake, OK. So Jake's my most veteran builder.

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

00:26:00.840 --> 00:26:04.960
built his fair share of computers. OK. And who's my least veteran builder today?

00:26:08.320 --> 00:26:11.920
Please say Riley. Please say Riley. No, not Riley. Not Riley.

00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:16.200
OK, OK. I built, I mean, this is why it is so funny,

00:26:16.200 --> 00:26:20.480
because I feel like I built, particularly at NCIX,

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.

00:26:24.520 --> 00:26:29.240
We'll find out later. I feel like close to 100 over the years.

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.

00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:37.640
I was the guy. At NCIX at that time. At a certain time.

00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:42.040
Yeah. Chris was there. Yep.

00:26:42.040 --> 00:26:45.040
And other people. Actually, you know what?

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,

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

00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:57.320
have like a CPU opt or like a secondary CPU fan header.

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

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.

00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:11.000
So because I just stabbed my finger.

00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:15.280
It's not bleeding. I don't have to fill out the form. Nobody saw it.

00:27:15.280 --> 00:27:20.480
So I just did it again. Wow, that RGB header is really sharp.

00:27:20.480 --> 00:27:23.680
We're using this as evidence. I just stabbed two of my fingers.

00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:27.280
We're off to a really good start here. Well, don't show them the wound.

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?

00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:36.920
Yeah. You could buy a system with Linus blood in it.

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.

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.

00:27:43.720 --> 00:27:47.400
Don't worry, Riley. You're doing a great job. Your instincts.

00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:51.320
Oh, no, you're right. I have kicked in. Your PC building muscle memory.

00:27:51.360 --> 00:27:54.560
Double-checking things before you get too far in. Has taken over.

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

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.

00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:05.360
Honestly, you're a little slow. I mean, the fact that I'm like.

00:28:05.360 --> 00:28:08.440
Can you just? Hey, he's got 11 minutes left.

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.

00:28:12.840 --> 00:28:17.360
And we have to stay on schedule today. Like, we don't really have a choice,

00:28:17.360 --> 00:28:20.880
because other hosts are coming in.

00:28:21.080 --> 00:28:27.240
They're coming in hot, Riley. They're coming in. Yeah, but I'm stressed.

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.

00:28:32.360 --> 00:28:35.440
If I don't finish this, or wait, yep.

00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:38.440
Yeah, I don't think you do. Are there stakes?

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

00:28:43.800 --> 00:28:47.240
get like crapier, unfinished PC? Like, is that the idea?

00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:51.760
Like, do we get stakes at the end? Who brought out this anti-static strap?

00:28:51.760 --> 00:28:55.160
It came with the pad. It came with the pad.

00:28:55.160 --> 00:28:59.200
Oh, it came with the mod mat that were, hey, are we ever launching this thing?

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.

00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:06.280
Oh. We'll talk to him later.

00:29:06.280 --> 00:29:11.480
Right, the internet problems. Yeah. Guys, it has been an actual adventure today.

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

00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:20.640
problems? Well.

00:29:20.640 --> 00:29:24.400
Legitimate question, though. I mean, I'm sure that every tech problem could be solved

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.

00:29:28.560 --> 00:29:32.080
Like, there's metal and screwdrivers. If you grind it up fine enough, you

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

00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:38.840
or like toothpaste or something. I think you could make that work.

00:29:38.840 --> 00:29:42.040
As Alex Clark did. It was like pretty bad tech advice.

00:29:42.040 --> 00:29:45.200
Well, look, if people wanted good tech advice,

00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:50.160
then they can go watch Toasty Bros. OK? This is, we're an entertainment channel.

00:29:50.160 --> 00:29:54.800
Purely an entertainment channel. I get such a kick out of that, right?

00:29:54.800 --> 00:30:00.240
Because I get about for, I think for every,

00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:05.720
LTT is just entertainment. For every one of those messages that I see,

00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:09.120
I get a message or an email at my inbox

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.

00:30:15.120 --> 00:30:18.920
And I'm like a system admin now or I just finished my,

00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:22.480
I just finished my degree in Compsi or whatever else.

00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:26.360
I think that people, I think that people underestimate

00:30:26.360 --> 00:30:30.360
how hard our writing team, people like Jordan work

00:30:30.360 --> 00:30:34.760
to make sure that the content, yes, is entertaining because that matters.

00:30:34.760 --> 00:30:39.800
I mean, think back to your teachers, right? If you had an entertaining teacher in school,

00:30:39.800 --> 00:30:42.800
were you like, oh yeah, but it's like just entertainment.

00:30:42.840 --> 00:30:46.760
No, the best ones will entertain you while also teaching you something.

00:30:46.760 --> 00:30:49.920
Do we get absolutely everything right and are we absolutely perfect?

00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:53.080
And do we go into the greatest depth on every subject? No.

00:30:54.080 --> 00:30:56.320
That's what you go to TechLinked for.

00:30:57.320 --> 00:31:01.160
Subscribe today. Yeah, subscribe to TechLinked.

00:31:01.160 --> 00:31:04.440
That's where you'll get the deepest, the deepest depth.

00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:07.280
The deepest, yeah, analysis, expert.

00:31:08.120 --> 00:31:13.760
All right. But, but we do go out of our way

00:31:13.760 --> 00:31:17.520
to bury, to bury knowledge nuggets, you know?

00:31:17.520 --> 00:31:21.400
In between all of our, in between all of our cars, okay?

00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:25.960
And mansions, okay? We also want to deliver on knowledge.

00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:29.160
Knowledge. Is he still culturally relevant?

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.

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?

00:31:40.040 --> 00:31:44.080
Knowledge. Knowledge. I don't think he has a New York accent,

00:31:44.080 --> 00:31:47.760
but I did it for a second. Okay, Riley. Let's have some fun.

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.

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.

00:31:54.760 --> 00:31:58.760
Don't I put, can you do some accents for me? No.

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.

00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:05.400
Let's have, let's have fun. Andrew, Andrew, can you do it for a second?

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.

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?

00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:16.560
No, no, no, no, no. No, not with Andrew. No. Okay.

00:32:16.560 --> 00:32:20.640
Come on, Riley. Riley, can you do it? No, no. Riley has an Irish accent.

00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:23.720
I couldn't, I couldn't possibly. There's no way.

00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:26.920
Don't, don't make me do it, Linus. I won't.

00:32:26.920 --> 00:32:29.920
No, no, it doesn't matter what I think. It matters what you think.

00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:33.800
How invariant it's over, Riley. I can't deal with it.

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.

00:32:38.600 --> 00:32:43.240
I've revealed it, yeah. Yeah. But I, I, I have one Irish accent.

00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:46.720
I don't know like the different, you know? So.

00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:50.800
You don't. All right. There's someone in the middle, I don't know.

00:32:50.800 --> 00:32:53.160
I have one Irish accent. You don't even have that.

00:32:54.840 --> 00:32:58.120
I'm sorry. Thanks, Andrew. I'm so sorry to put you both on the spot.

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.

00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:05.040
I didn't know that part comes off.

00:33:06.920 --> 00:33:09.920
Why don't we shout out our first donor company here?

00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:13.800
Oh, let's do that. Let's shout out our first donor company.

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.

00:33:17.160 --> 00:33:20.640
It's right on the screen here for you. Oh, it's right on the screen.

00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:25.120
Kingston. There you go. Kingston sent over eight of their,

00:33:25.120 --> 00:33:28.920
what are they, NV3s? NV3, two terabyte. Of the two terabyte.

00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:32.160
Yep. They sent over 16.

00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:36.200
Nope, eight. They sent over eight of their two terabyte SSDs

00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:41.060
for these machines. That is all completely free of charge,

00:33:41.060 --> 00:33:44.080
which means that when we go and we donate the profits

00:33:44.080 --> 00:33:47.240
from these machines to, oh boy, this is kind of scary.

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

00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:58.000
will be part of that donation. Now, my understanding is that we have not actually settled

00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:01.320
on an exact charity. Is that correct?

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.

00:34:05.880 --> 00:34:09.480
You know what? It seems like a good time,

00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:13.880
a good time to donate to the local food bank. Well, things being challenging

00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:17.200
and this being a particularly challenging time of year.

00:34:17.200 --> 00:34:20.440
So hopefully we can get that processed pretty quickly

00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:23.480
and help make a few people's Christmas

00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:27.800
a little bit more merry. Is that magnetic? That's the plan for now.

00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:31.340
Is which magnetic? This little doohickey here. Corsair.

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

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.

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.

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

00:34:50.760 --> 00:34:54.080
on LTT Store. Yeah, we're getting to clock out a lot too.

00:34:54.080 --> 00:34:57.520
Are any people picking up merch messages? Yeah, there's quite a few coming in.

00:34:57.520 --> 00:35:01.080
All right, hit me, Dan. Sure, I love the magnetic cable management idea,

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?

00:35:05.680 --> 00:35:10.000
Has anyone tried to copy or undercut you to your customers?

00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:14.000
That's a really good question. So the thing about our magnetic cable management

00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:17.560
is that a majority of the cost

00:35:17.560 --> 00:35:24.360
is in the neodymium magnets. So neodymium is, you know, a commodity material,

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

00:35:29.600 --> 00:35:32.720
or what currency you buy in or sell in.

00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:39.440
And so in terms of undercutting, right, you could try to undercut us on the neodymium

00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:43.720
by just taking less margin. But I can tell you that, you know,

00:35:43.720 --> 00:35:46.720
if you're an Amazon marketplace seller, for instance,

00:35:46.720 --> 00:35:51.040
you're probably gonna be spending about what our margin is on that product,

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.

00:35:57.040 --> 00:36:01.640
And if you're sort of, you know, running your own marketplace or whatever else,

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

00:36:06.680 --> 00:36:10.080
because the reality of it is is once you are,

00:36:10.080 --> 00:36:17.240
once you're working with injection molding, plastics are functionally very little cost

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,

00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:26.120
wood surfaces or whatever else. Like those are literally pennies.

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,

00:36:33.240 --> 00:36:38.480
it's gonna be pretty hard to undercut us without significantly harming the quality.

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

00:36:45.040 --> 00:36:48.640
and they hold stuff really, really well.

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,

00:36:53.960 --> 00:36:58.040
but with less magnet in it, then you would just have a worse product.

00:36:58.040 --> 00:37:01.280
So will someone make a worse product at a lower price?

00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:06.000
Probably, but I don't really have any interest in competing in that space.

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.

00:37:11.560 --> 00:37:15.560
So, no, I'm not really worried. On the round ones.

00:37:15.560 --> 00:37:20.480
Riley! Mine is, Riley! Listen, for crying out loud, Riley, it's a charity.

00:37:20.920 --> 00:37:24.520
Yeah, you're gonna dent the glass panel.

00:37:25.720 --> 00:37:30.120
Dent it. Two minute warning. You could dent it? Two minutes? Two minutes?

00:37:30.120 --> 00:37:34.320
Geez, you know, I was actually feeling pretty good because I was pretty close to you.

00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:37.760
We got our case out at the same time

00:37:37.760 --> 00:37:41.720
and I had my mother, I mean, you were talking the whole time.

00:37:41.720 --> 00:37:46.240
What else is new, you know what I mean? Geez, wow.

00:37:46.240 --> 00:37:49.520
Wow, Riley, thank you for that. What a guy.

00:37:49.520 --> 00:37:53.080
And now I'm just way behind it, just like, geez. Don't worry, Riley.

00:37:53.080 --> 00:37:56.120
I think that you are doing absolutely...

00:37:56.120 --> 00:38:00.200
What are you doing? Oh, geez, Rick, I gotta put the screws in the...

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.

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.

00:38:07.200 --> 00:38:10.200
They go in the case, through a hole in the motherboard.

00:38:10.200 --> 00:38:14.480
Through the... You know, so it's attached like a motherboard should be.

00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:17.880
Yeah, right. That's what you usually do.

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

00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:31.040
because even I who build a lot of computers like now...

00:38:31.040 --> 00:38:35.320
Oh, I didn't put the shield in. You didn't put the IO shield in.

00:38:35.320 --> 00:38:38.800
Classy. It's always the... Oh, no. At least I checked.

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...

00:38:44.200 --> 00:38:48.320
All the screws. All the motherboard screws. You're getting stressed because why?

00:38:48.320 --> 00:38:52.960
Because even I who build computers on a fairly regular basis still,

00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:56.040
not exactly finishing these in half an hour.

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...

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.

00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:10.480
No, in the I Love... In the I Love Building computers stream

00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:13.760
where I was actually trying to build them as fast as possible,

00:39:13.760 --> 00:39:17.480
I think I got down to about eight or nine minutes, I want to say.

00:39:17.480 --> 00:39:21.200
What? 17? Is that...

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,

00:39:25.040 --> 00:39:29.160
but in order to make this happen. You know what? I can do it though.

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.

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.

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.

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.

00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:49.520
Yeah, you can have a head start, Mark. Go for it.

00:39:49.520 --> 00:39:52.520
I'll be over there in a minute. You just give me,

00:39:52.520 --> 00:39:56.640
well maybe a slightly more than a minute. Oh man, so Jordan,

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.

00:40:01.240 --> 00:40:04.960
Okay, if I can finish this one in 35 minutes,

00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:09.640
uh-huh, right, then if I can finish the next one in 25 minutes,

00:40:09.640 --> 00:40:12.680
I'll be caught up after just two PCs.

00:40:12.680 --> 00:40:16.840
And then, if I could finish the next one in 23 minutes,

00:40:17.760 --> 00:40:20.840
I'll be two minutes ahead, which would be incredible.

00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:24.960
And if I could finish the next one in 19 minutes,

00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:28.600
then I would be slightly more ahead.

00:40:28.600 --> 00:40:35.360
You're one minute behind already. Jordan, Jordan, Jordan, Jordan, look, look Jordan.

00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:40.280
Sir? Sir? Sir, this is a Wendy's.

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?

00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:50.160
Supposed to be built in junior freaking cheeseburgers. We're not sponsored by Wendy's.

00:40:50.160 --> 00:40:53.920
Don't get late to them. What, oh, is it?

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?

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.

00:41:01.880 --> 00:41:05.560
Because I feel like you and I may have mixed up a bunch of our stuff.

00:41:05.560 --> 00:41:09.600
No. And because these are systems that are going to actual people

00:41:09.600 --> 00:41:13.000
who are gonna actually use them at some point actually, you know?

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

00:41:18.400 --> 00:41:24.080
included with them and what not. You know, we didn't cross pollinate our deals here.

00:41:24.080 --> 00:41:27.480
Are you sure? Yeah, what do you mean? How is that possible?

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,

00:41:31.880 --> 00:41:34.960
get a little cheated there. Can't believe.

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.

00:41:38.760 --> 00:41:42.600
I've got this, you know what? I've got this totally under control

00:41:42.600 --> 00:41:46.600
and I am no longer stressed at all because of math.

00:41:46.600 --> 00:41:50.040
I did the math earlier and if I can build each computer

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.

00:41:55.000 --> 00:41:59.880
That's why I'm not stressed. Oh my goodness, this case just tripped me out.

00:41:59.880 --> 00:42:03.320
I went to lift it up and there was no,

00:42:03.320 --> 00:42:07.100
there was no anything there. It's starting.

00:42:07.100 --> 00:42:11.660
That's much better. My hallucination is starting. Oh no. You're an AI Linus.

00:42:11.660 --> 00:42:14.860
This isn't real. If I was an AI, I would probably,

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.

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.

00:42:28.300 --> 00:42:30.820
Just in case. Just in case.

00:42:31.780 --> 00:42:35.580
Three lights over. Now they're just in the case. This guy's a father.

00:42:40.660 --> 00:42:41.780
That's content.

00:42:44.020 --> 00:42:48.660
Puns like those? That's content. Okay, Jorah, hey Jordan, which GPU is me?

00:42:48.660 --> 00:42:52.300
Whichever you like. Whichever I like. Those are both from Java.

00:42:52.300 --> 00:42:55.540
I can have whatever I like. Please, please.

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.

00:42:59.620 --> 00:43:03.740
What, what a little faster? Like it a little faster. Hey, thanks for stressing about

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.

00:43:07.780 --> 00:43:11.940
Yeah, you're four minutes over now. And I'm more done than Riley.

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.

00:43:17.620 --> 00:43:20.940
You think I'm not gonna catch up to Mark in like the first two minutes?

00:43:20.940 --> 00:43:24.140
Look at him. He's got a manual out for how to install a CPU.

00:43:27.580 --> 00:43:30.340
Not with you, it's not. Don't. Wow.

00:43:32.340 --> 00:43:35.220
If you're slower than Linus, you don't get to have any cake. Okay, so.

00:43:36.380 --> 00:43:40.100
I'm off now, right? All right, yeah, I think you're off.

00:43:41.860 --> 00:43:45.100
No, no, I'm still gonna finish mine regardless, Mark. What?

00:43:45.100 --> 00:43:50.060
Yeah, you're good, Riley. Huh? You're good. So our skilled team of procurement professionals

00:43:50.060 --> 00:43:53.260
are going to be finishing up any PCs that don't get finished.

00:43:53.260 --> 00:43:58.100
You're gonna, or is it Reese? Reese, are you? Okay, mix of logistics and procurement.

00:43:58.100 --> 00:44:02.300
You know, the people who do the real work who are skilled regardless.

00:44:02.300 --> 00:44:05.300
Who aren't just pretty faces. They're also pretty faces.

00:44:05.300 --> 00:44:08.700
Everyone's a pretty face. Okay, I'm just gonna leave this.

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.

00:44:15.340 --> 00:44:18.700
It's a concept PC. Riley.

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.

00:44:23.140 --> 00:44:26.200
It transforms into a caterpillar.

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.

00:44:30.580 --> 00:44:34.060
Great work, Riley. Wow, that makes me feel so great.

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

00:44:37.820 --> 00:44:43.500
on this bad boy. And I'm gonna figure out how it's oriented.

00:44:43.500 --> 00:44:48.700
And then, do I have to post them? Is that when the stopwatch stops?

00:44:48.700 --> 00:44:52.580
Okay. Well, the stopwatch never stops. So, you know, never, buddy.

00:44:52.580 --> 00:44:54.660
See you later, Riley. Thanks for dropping in.

00:44:55.780 --> 00:45:01.180
Happy birthday, me. It's a weird thing to bring up when someone's leaving.

00:45:01.220 --> 00:45:05.140
Happy 32 years. Dan, stall them.

00:45:05.140 --> 00:45:08.860
Hit me with a merch message. Yeah, sure, sure, sure, sure.

00:45:08.860 --> 00:45:12.620
Hi, Linus. What do you think is the next big tech change you're excited for?

00:45:12.620 --> 00:45:16.540
I'm hoping for a drastic leap in battery tech sometime soon.

00:45:17.500 --> 00:45:21.500
Man, doesn't battery technology feel almost like

00:45:21.500 --> 00:45:26.060
carbon nanotubes at this point? I wish Riley was here so we could talk about

00:45:26.060 --> 00:45:29.300
carbon nanotubes. You know where it's... Yeah, tubes, what?

00:45:29.300 --> 00:45:33.620
Hey, he's back. What? I'm sure Mark knows about carbon nanotubes.

00:45:33.620 --> 00:45:37.420
Nanomachines. Yeah, it feels like carbon nanotubes, you know,

00:45:37.420 --> 00:45:40.740
where every other week, we're hearing about some huge advancement

00:45:40.740 --> 00:45:44.060
that's going to absolutely revolutionize the entire world.

00:45:44.060 --> 00:45:48.500
And week after week, it just stays mostly relevant

00:45:48.500 --> 00:45:53.500
to the lab and not really applicable to the real world.

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

00:45:59.780 --> 00:46:03.220
are extremely promising. Like you got companies that claim

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.

00:46:09.300 --> 00:46:13.900
I just want to touch it, you know, I want to see it.

00:46:13.900 --> 00:46:17.020
I do think that better battery technology

00:46:17.020 --> 00:46:21.380
will change everything. Like, oh man, this is something that drove me crazy

00:46:21.380 --> 00:46:26.540
when I had this realization. I pulled my old iPhone 6 out of my nightstand drawer

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

00:46:31.980 --> 00:46:35.460
and I couldn't find my USB-C adapter.

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,

00:46:40.060 --> 00:46:43.580
this is really thin. Like that's really cool.

00:46:43.580 --> 00:46:49.700
Man, they've gotten chunky. You know, if Apple could put that same capacity battery

00:46:49.700 --> 00:46:53.140
in a slim form factor again, you know they would because they're Apple

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

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.

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.

00:47:07.940 --> 00:47:11.020
Okay, you know what? Not bad.

00:47:11.020 --> 00:47:15.940
I am about to just absolutely clown on this noob.

00:47:15.940 --> 00:47:19.260
Wait, where's my PC? Dear, where the heck is my stuff?

00:47:19.260 --> 00:47:22.860
Oh, it's way up there. Mark, you're taking up the whole,

00:47:22.860 --> 00:47:26.380
you're taking up the whole table here, brother. What's the, what?

00:47:28.780 --> 00:47:31.500
Hey, look, look, I got AI RAM.

00:47:33.180 --> 00:47:37.900
That's probably A1, AMD system one, I assume, right?

00:47:37.900 --> 00:47:42.060
Not AI. I'm gonna go with that it's AMD system one.

00:47:42.060 --> 00:47:45.260
Okay, Jordan. Yeah, buddy. What am I supposed to be doing?

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,

00:47:48.740 --> 00:47:51.860
this is our double sweet 16 stream.

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.

00:47:56.420 --> 00:47:59.420
What? No, we have to do year two. All right, year two.

00:47:59.420 --> 00:48:02.420
Okay, year two. Well, hold on, I gotta update the people. I gotta update the people.

00:48:02.420 --> 00:48:06.020
I gotta get, I gotta get Mark's tower out of my way.

00:48:06.020 --> 00:48:09.620
Apparently I'm supposed to, supposed to do everything around here.

00:48:09.620 --> 00:48:14.420
I'm supposed to compete with like a tiny sliver of table over here.

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

00:48:20.820 --> 00:48:28.340
and also 16 million subscribers by building 16 PCs in the most chaotic way possible

00:48:28.340 --> 00:48:34.020
for charity. Where is my motherboard? How did it, how did my motherboard end up?

00:48:34.020 --> 00:48:39.860
I have no idea how that. Were you stashing my stuff to slow me down?

00:48:39.860 --> 00:48:42.940
No, it was in my way. Did you guys see him?

00:48:42.940 --> 00:48:46.260
Where's, where's Chad? Chad's gonna, Chad's gonna out you.

00:48:46.260 --> 00:48:50.500
Did he do that? He didn't see it.

00:48:50.500 --> 00:48:54.980
He was cleverly off camera. Why you yum yum?

00:48:54.980 --> 00:48:58.700
I saw nothing. I saw nothing.

00:48:58.700 --> 00:49:02.900
Nothing happened. Stop gaslighting your employee.

00:49:02.900 --> 00:49:06.340
That's right. There you go. I don't believe. Gaslighting isn't real.

00:49:06.340 --> 00:49:10.660
I did nothing wrong. I don't believe you. I don't believe you.

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,

00:49:15.780 --> 00:49:20.540
I would have realized if my computer was supposed to be like that.

00:49:20.540 --> 00:49:24.060
Okay. Okay, you're two. Let's do this thing.

00:49:24.060 --> 00:49:28.740
All right, you're two. So November 2009, 2010.

00:49:28.740 --> 00:49:35.860
You were a wee baby. And this video got 110,000 views that year.

00:49:35.860 --> 00:49:37.460
110,000 views.

00:49:40.300 --> 00:49:43.900
2000, 2009, 2010? Yeah.

00:49:43.900 --> 00:49:47.620
So mostly 2010, cause it's November to November. What?

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

00:49:51.300 --> 00:49:57.540
trying to answer these questions, because we unbox random stuff back then.

00:49:58.860 --> 00:50:03.860
Like I would, I would unbox a portable hard drive, you know?

00:50:03.860 --> 00:50:08.860
I would unbox a coupon code for a game

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.

00:50:16.420 --> 00:50:23.900
Right? Like I, I have no idea which video is performed well.

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,

00:50:28.660 --> 00:50:32.540
but he wants me to tell you which ones performed well out of the gate.

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.

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.

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.

00:50:45.540 --> 00:50:49.300
I'm trying to sell these amazing PCs that we're building

00:50:49.300 --> 00:50:52.300
at java.gg. Okay.

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.

00:50:56.440 --> 00:51:00.220
And how dare you? How dare you?

00:51:00.220 --> 00:51:03.500
How dare you question my motives today?

00:51:03.500 --> 00:51:06.900
Mr. Jordan Block. Yeah.

00:51:06.900 --> 00:51:10.020
To say, to say to me

00:51:11.780 --> 00:51:15.220
that I might be stalling for time. Never.

00:51:15.220 --> 00:51:16.280
Why I find it,

00:51:18.780 --> 00:51:19.780
I find it to be,

00:51:22.500 --> 00:51:25.100
I find it to be unconscionable

00:51:25.980 --> 00:51:29.300
to say that I might be stalling for time.

00:51:29.300 --> 00:51:31.540
You mark, you want to hit him for me? Unconscionable.

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?

00:51:37.700 --> 00:51:41.980
You have effectively hidden nothing. You have achieved exactly nothing.

00:51:41.980 --> 00:51:46.000
And also I saw you do it. I saw you do it this time.

00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:49.400
You will have absolutely no one on your side now.

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

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.

00:51:55.840 --> 00:51:58.680
I saw nothing. I saw nothing.

00:51:59.600 --> 00:52:04.440
No. No. You saw, you saw everything.

00:52:05.680 --> 00:52:10.080
He actually did it. He actually, he put the RAM a different place, what?

00:52:10.080 --> 00:52:12.280
No, it's in his computer. Where'd he put the RAM?

00:52:13.840 --> 00:52:17.360
Mark. Mark, you only get one kit of RAM.

00:52:17.360 --> 00:52:20.920
There's four RAM slots? Yeah, there's four RAM slots, but this is AMD.

00:52:20.920 --> 00:52:23.480
So two of the RAM slots are mostly decorative.

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,

00:52:29.680 --> 00:52:32.440
you don't use them. At least my CPU isn't decorative.

00:52:33.520 --> 00:52:36.560
My CPU is not decorative. My CPU is right here.

00:52:36.560 --> 00:52:38.080
Oh, I was making an Intel joke.

00:52:40.240 --> 00:52:43.960
So how about that year two video? Dang, dang.

00:52:43.960 --> 00:52:46.600
Now hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

00:52:50.680 --> 00:52:56.840
We don't need light because Mark casts all the shade all by himself.

00:52:58.760 --> 00:53:02.440
Also, I think I've created a serious problem for myself.

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,

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.

00:53:13.320 --> 00:53:17.200
Room. Okay, secure.

00:53:17.200 --> 00:53:20.560
What does it, what does it say on there, Andy? Oh, that's right.

00:53:20.560 --> 00:53:23.200
That one's, I am very short.com. Yeah, I remember now.

00:53:24.200 --> 00:53:27.560
Oh boy. Okay.

00:53:27.560 --> 00:53:31.120
Well, I am in a flow now. And what you guys may have noticed

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,

00:53:37.640 --> 00:53:41.600
which I have made excellent progress on. And this time around,

00:53:41.640 --> 00:53:45.360
I have pulled out all the things that I need ahead of time. Whoopsie doodles.

00:53:45.360 --> 00:53:48.960
Oh. Like wires and thermal paste and IO shields

00:53:48.960 --> 00:53:52.240
and all that stuff. I bet he doesn't even have his IO shield.

00:53:53.200 --> 00:53:56.360
Look at him. He does.

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?

00:54:01.720 --> 00:54:05.800
The last PC that I built? Yeah, did you end up building that NAS? Oh yeah.

00:54:05.800 --> 00:54:09.920
Yeah. What kind of machine did you go for? Andy.

00:54:09.920 --> 00:54:13.760
Oh, okay. It's a B550.

00:54:14.800 --> 00:54:16.080
It was quite a while ago.

00:54:18.680 --> 00:54:21.600
And it works. No one saw that, right?

00:54:23.400 --> 00:54:26.560
The plastic bottom on the bottom micro.

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.

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?

00:54:34.240 --> 00:54:37.840
Are you still super into like VHS captures? Is that like a side hustle still?

00:54:37.960 --> 00:54:42.320
Yeah, I learned all about the Doomsday project.

00:54:42.320 --> 00:54:45.480
The Doomsday people did it. Oh, okay.

00:54:45.480 --> 00:54:48.560
You're gonna have to tell me about it because I have to confess

00:54:48.560 --> 00:54:51.640
that while I find the topic interesting,

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.

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,

00:55:06.240 --> 00:55:12.440
posted it on X, and they told me,

00:55:12.440 --> 00:55:16.760
or somebody DM'd me and was like, hey, there's this better thing

00:55:16.760 --> 00:55:24.320
that like can capture your footage at like the original tape quality.

00:55:24.960 --> 00:55:28.080
Yeah, but like way better in terms of like,

00:55:28.080 --> 00:55:31.640
instead of going through your RCA output.

00:55:31.640 --> 00:55:35.200
Oh, okay. Oh, like you can pull the internal tape quality

00:55:35.520 --> 00:55:39.360
kind of like with like consoles where you can like pull the original quality

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.

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

00:55:48.240 --> 00:55:53.240
and get more detail, which is amazing.

00:55:53.560 --> 00:55:57.360
I'm not good with soldering, so Dan, Mr. Dan, help me out with that.

00:55:57.360 --> 00:56:00.560
Yeah, that was a lot of fun. Yeah. It was pretty interesting.

00:56:00.560 --> 00:56:03.560
I have never seen, you know, like the snow on the VHS.

00:56:03.560 --> 00:56:07.080
Oh, yeah. I've never seen it perfectly pixel perfect.

00:56:07.080 --> 00:56:10.560
Like all of the squares, like you can see the brushes going over the,

00:56:10.560 --> 00:56:14.760
well, the heads going over the tape. Cause it's all magnetic. Incredible.

00:56:14.760 --> 00:56:18.440
Yeah. I was, I was floored. Okay, that's pretty cool.

00:56:18.440 --> 00:56:21.560
Is this a new thing? Yeah. Like 2018.

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.

00:56:27.920 --> 00:56:31.960
Yeah. It's all magnetic. You can basically do it with anything

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,

00:56:41.040 --> 00:56:45.640
it exists. So this is the end game. Once you capture it like this,

00:56:45.640 --> 00:56:49.000
there is absolutely no point in continuing

00:56:49.000 --> 00:56:52.040
to hold onto your original media in hopes that a better capture method

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

00:56:55.160 --> 00:57:00.120
multiple times in my life. So, we'll see.

00:57:00.120 --> 00:57:03.560
Right. I'm very impressed with it though.

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

00:57:07.720 --> 00:57:11.160
often or is it mostly a hobby or like?

00:57:11.160 --> 00:57:14.560
Oh, right now it's mostly a hobby.

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.

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

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,

00:57:32.520 --> 00:57:40.040
well, an inside consultant, because the truth is he's probably forgotten

00:57:40.280 --> 00:57:45.760
more about analog capture than I ever knew. Like I always found it interesting.

00:57:45.760 --> 00:57:49.160
Like my first real GPU was actually one of those

00:57:49.160 --> 00:57:52.360
all-in-wonder ones that had the TV tuner on it

00:57:52.360 --> 00:57:58.000
because I loved the idea of being able to get video into the PC.

00:57:58.000 --> 00:58:01.400
Like if you can take video out of the PC,

00:58:01.400 --> 00:58:04.640
surely you should be able to get video into the PC,

00:58:04.640 --> 00:58:10.480
but as it turns out, video capture and encoding is half black magic.

00:58:12.040 --> 00:58:16.040
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:58:16.040 --> 00:58:18.920
Half black magic and half science.

00:58:21.760 --> 00:58:25.840
It's all science, I know. I know, but black magic. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:58:25.840 --> 00:58:29.920
Black magic design. Yeah. Yeah. You know, a company that makes capture.

00:58:29.920 --> 00:58:34.000
I'm more of an AJA guy myself. Which is fair, which is fair and valid.

00:58:34.000 --> 00:58:37.080
I'm just, that's just not a joke. It's not funny.

00:58:37.080 --> 00:58:40.520
Yeah, no, I know. I mean, mine wasn't funny either, wasn't it?

00:58:43.280 --> 00:58:47.280
How many minutes? 11. 11 minutes? No problem, no problem, brother,

00:58:47.280 --> 00:58:50.760
because I couldn't help noticing a little thing.

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,

00:58:56.940 --> 00:59:00.340
he probably doesn't even have his I.O. shield.

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.

00:59:08.860 --> 00:59:12.620
That's two for two. Who needs an I.O. shield?

00:59:12.620 --> 00:59:13.460
Look at that.

00:59:15.660 --> 00:59:18.660
No, we need it. Nice, you do. What do you need it for?

00:59:18.660 --> 00:59:22.980
What does it do? He absolutely pulled it out and showed it to me.

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

00:59:27.300 --> 00:59:32.420
Mac guy PC building error. Wow, wow, wow.

00:59:32.420 --> 00:59:35.580
I've seen lots these days that have it just built in. Yeah, yep.

00:59:35.580 --> 00:59:38.660
Also, I still don't know what it's for.

00:59:38.660 --> 00:59:43.620
Grounding. Dust, grounding? I actually think it's more to do with RF, Dan.

00:59:43.620 --> 00:59:48.660
Oh, that would make sense, yeah. I think it's to make the entire chassis enclosed

00:59:48.660 --> 00:59:52.980
and safe or whatever. So, the reality of it is it doesn't,

00:59:52.980 --> 00:59:56.540
you're not still putting in screws. What screwdriver are you using?

00:59:56.540 --> 00:59:58.180
What is going on over here?

01:00:00.220 --> 01:00:04.380
You can, I can't. What? Are you taking it out of the motherboard

01:00:04.380 --> 01:00:07.540
or are you leaving it in? Oh, my goodness. What's happening?

01:00:07.540 --> 01:00:10.420
It's a screwdriver. How many have we done?

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

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.

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.

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?

01:00:30.940 --> 01:00:33.940
Oh, yeah, buddy. Oh, man. Oh, yeah, buddy.

01:00:33.940 --> 01:00:38.940
So, I have in, what am I at, like 12 minutes here,

01:00:39.540 --> 01:00:42.820
closed the gap and pulled into the lead.

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.

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.

01:00:54.380 --> 01:00:57.780
You know, I didn't have a screwdriver. I mean.

01:00:57.780 --> 01:01:01.540
For the first little bit. I mean, that sounds like a skill issue to me.

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.

01:01:05.540 --> 01:01:07.460
Screwdrivers run like milk and honey.

01:01:09.500 --> 01:01:14.180
I'm a video editor. We don't edit videos with screwdrivers.

01:01:14.180 --> 01:01:18.260
I mean, if you did, I'd be pretty impressed. Whoa.

01:01:18.260 --> 01:01:21.580
That would make for a fun short. Yeah. I should pitch that to Artie.

01:01:21.580 --> 01:01:23.540
Like, okay, here, Artie, hear me out.

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.

01:01:29.940 --> 01:01:34.900
LTT like Edward Scissor's hands, but we just like zap strap a bunch of screwdrivers

01:01:34.900 --> 01:01:38.940
to all their fingers. I'm into it. Screwdriver hands.

01:01:40.500 --> 01:01:43.820
Shoot. I actually missed something on my last machine.

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.

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?

01:01:56.500 --> 01:02:02.380
Sure. Where the devil is my front audio connector on this case?

01:02:02.380 --> 01:02:05.700
Are these all the same case? Yep. Okay.

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.

01:02:11.580 --> 01:02:14.780
Linus. This is my front panel audio. Yes, sir.

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.

01:02:18.140 --> 01:02:23.060
It goes in here. It's funny how many things I kind of take for granted

01:02:23.060 --> 01:02:26.140
as an old school builder that people

01:02:26.140 --> 01:02:29.820
who didn't really build back in the day. Yeah, I built back in the day.

01:02:29.820 --> 01:02:35.380
Won't know. Or may have forgotten. I rebuilt my G5 Power Mac.

01:02:35.380 --> 01:02:39.660
Okay. That doesn't count. Yeah, that doesn't really count. Oh, here it is.

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?

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

01:02:49.260 --> 01:02:54.260
who contributed 16 of their, these are NHD 15s, hey?

01:02:54.260 --> 01:02:59.700
Yeah. Yeah, 16 of their NHD 15 Chromax black coolers.

01:02:59.700 --> 01:03:03.540
You can check these out here. These are a great cooler for cooling.

01:03:03.540 --> 01:03:07.100
Well, basically anything.

01:03:07.100 --> 01:03:10.140
And that means that when we are donating

01:03:10.140 --> 01:03:15.540
the profits of these machines, which we are selling at jawa.gg,

01:03:15.540 --> 01:03:20.900
when we're donating the profits, the entire value of those coolers gets to be donated

01:03:20.900 --> 01:03:25.260
rather than contributing to our costs. So thank you very much Noctua.

01:03:25.260 --> 01:03:29.500
We were actually blown away by the generosity of our partners

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

01:03:35.180 --> 01:03:39.620
almost everything comped by someone. They were all extremely excited

01:03:39.620 --> 01:03:43.300
to help contribute to this. And it's just, it's heartwarming,

01:03:43.300 --> 01:03:46.500
especially this time of year. So massive shout out to Noctua.

01:03:46.500 --> 01:03:50.260
And then I think I've got another one. I also want to shout out Gskill

01:03:50.260 --> 01:03:53.500
who sent over eight of their Flarex 5 memory kits.

01:03:53.500 --> 01:03:56.620
These are a perfect pairing for our AMD systems.

01:03:56.620 --> 01:04:01.620
They are DDR5 6000 and the exact CL rating.

01:04:02.340 --> 01:04:06.500
I'm going to guess 30 because Gskill, Gskill ain't no fool.

01:04:06.500 --> 01:04:11.280
Yeah, there you go. So they're DDR5 6000 CL 30, 32 gig kits.

01:04:11.280 --> 01:04:16.120
They sent over eight of these to make sure that our systems would have enough memory

01:04:16.120 --> 01:04:19.480
and enough high speed memory that you're going to be playing the latest games.

01:04:19.480 --> 01:04:23.720
Let's go. What else we got here? That's your five minute warning.

01:04:23.720 --> 01:04:27.840
Five minute warning, huh. I don't even need five more minutes to finish this PC.

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.

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.

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.

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

01:04:44.600 --> 01:04:48.800
while also replying to merge messages. Wow. Easy.

01:04:48.800 --> 01:04:52.520
Hey, DLL, it's just DL and M now.

01:04:52.520 --> 01:04:57.400
What is the worst computer parts company? My personal pick has to be HP.

01:04:58.320 --> 01:05:03.320
Oh, see, I could get behind the HP pick

01:05:03.720 --> 01:05:08.080
if we consider a printer, a computer parts,

01:05:08.080 --> 01:05:12.680
because I am not a fan of some of the incredibly

01:05:12.680 --> 01:05:17.000
anti-consumer things that they pull with respect to their printers.

01:05:17.000 --> 01:05:22.000
However, if I have to narrow it down to computer parts,

01:05:22.600 --> 01:05:28.800
HP does have that case. But I wouldn't really classify them

01:05:28.800 --> 01:05:34.320
as a computer parts company. I would say they're more of a finished goods company.

01:05:34.320 --> 01:05:37.160
So if I've got to pick a computer parts company,

01:05:38.920 --> 01:05:42.640
am I allowed to pick ones that don't exist anymore? Is that an option?

01:05:42.640 --> 01:05:46.720
Because some of them don't exist for good reason.

01:05:46.720 --> 01:05:47.560
OCC.

01:05:50.200 --> 01:05:56.160
Dan, you spoiled the answer. Sorry, I actually have a personal vendetta about them.

01:05:56.160 --> 01:06:03.000
I guess that's unrelated. You and everyone has a personal vendetta against OCC.

01:06:03.000 --> 01:06:06.120
OCC was the one that I was gonna pick.

01:06:06.120 --> 01:06:11.120
Sorry. To give you some idea of how shady this company was,

01:06:11.120 --> 01:06:16.120
they marketed a product that used what they called

01:06:17.520 --> 01:06:19.720
UTT dies.

01:06:21.600 --> 01:06:25.000
And these UTT memory dies,

01:06:25.000 --> 01:06:28.160
the way that OCC marketed them

01:06:28.160 --> 01:06:32.920
was that compared to the really desirable dies at the time,

01:06:32.920 --> 01:06:38.400
so things like in the lower capacity DDR days, like WinBond BH5, or later on,

01:06:38.400 --> 01:06:42.040
you had Samsung TCCDs, for instance,

01:06:42.040 --> 01:06:45.400
the way that they marketed these UTT dies

01:06:45.400 --> 01:06:49.020
was that, man, they were flipping fast.

01:06:49.020 --> 01:06:52.840
All you had to do was pump enormous amounts

01:06:52.840 --> 01:06:57.560
of voltage through them and you could get them to go wicked fast.

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.

01:07:06.240 --> 01:07:11.240
So UTT was code for untested.

01:07:12.280 --> 01:07:15.720
So basically, instead of actually binning them

01:07:15.720 --> 01:07:19.440
and making sure that they could run at the speed that they were selling them at,

01:07:19.440 --> 01:07:23.840
they just marketed as a bullet point,

01:07:23.840 --> 01:07:27.680
like on the product page, that these were untested dies

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

01:07:33.360 --> 01:07:35.760
and that was their product.

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.

01:07:41.240 --> 01:07:45.440
Do you? Yeah, I bought one of their- Does it involve an agility SSD?

01:07:45.440 --> 01:07:49.240
Yeah, I bought one because you recommended me one

01:07:49.240 --> 01:07:54.080
on NCIX Tech Tips years ago. Okay, so in fairness to me,

01:07:54.080 --> 01:07:58.360
agility SSDs were a crazy good value

01:07:58.360 --> 01:08:02.920
and I have a theory that they were using

01:08:02.920 --> 01:08:06.480
similarly unvalidated NAND flash,

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,

01:08:12.440 --> 01:08:16.960
but it sort of came out later that that may have been the case.

01:08:16.960 --> 01:08:23.320
So I did not know. Did your agility SSD live by any chance?

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.

01:08:28.760 --> 01:08:33.760
I mean, that's the thing about random untested hardware.

01:08:33.760 --> 01:08:37.320
Hey, speaking of that, OCC doesn't exist anymore,

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,

01:08:42.960 --> 01:08:49.040
particularly DDR4. So there's two competing low-cost approaches

01:08:49.080 --> 01:08:52.200
to DDR4 memory, which is still relevant

01:08:52.200 --> 01:08:55.640
because you still got AM4 out there using DDR4.

01:08:55.640 --> 01:08:59.400
You still got LGA1700, older Gen Intel CPUs

01:08:59.400 --> 01:09:06.280
that are using DDR4. And also some of the non-Western CPU platforms

01:09:08.800 --> 01:09:15.280
are using DDR4 as well. And there's this competition

01:09:15.280 --> 01:09:18.480
between the folks that are taking harvested dies

01:09:18.480 --> 01:09:21.840
off of old memory modules

01:09:21.840 --> 01:09:27.360
and remanufacturing them into new modules. So these would be like South Korean dies

01:09:27.360 --> 01:09:32.360
and the Chinese fabs that are building brand new DDR4

01:09:32.960 --> 01:09:36.280
at super, super cut-rate prices.

01:09:37.240 --> 01:09:40.280
I wasn't going anywhere with this. I just thought it was really interesting.

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.

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.

01:09:50.720 --> 01:09:55.400
And basically it's gonna mean that you're gonna be getting a fantastic

01:09:55.400 --> 01:09:58.680
1440P gaming experience out of this thing.

01:09:58.680 --> 01:10:04.000
And in slightly older titles, you could even drive these systems at 4K.

01:10:04.000 --> 01:10:07.960
So these are really nice little systems, 7800X3D.

01:10:07.960 --> 01:10:11.920
This was sent over by Jawa, by the way, who is our sponsor for the stream

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.

01:10:17.680 --> 01:10:20.880
I'm just gonna go ahead. Yeah, but remember last time,

01:10:20.880 --> 01:10:25.280
I was like eight minutes over time and I am just about done.

01:10:25.280 --> 01:10:28.560
I already got my GPU in. Whoa, when did he get all?

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.

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.

01:10:35.360 --> 01:10:39.120
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is the IO shield in properly? It's in. Wow.

01:10:39.120 --> 01:10:42.920
Really? I even got the little Wi-Fi antenna's in.

01:10:42.920 --> 01:10:46.600
It's amazing what having an actual screwdriver will do for you. There's no kidding.

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.

01:10:50.240 --> 01:10:53.440
I use wired Ethernet like a child. You know what? Got them.

01:10:53.440 --> 01:10:57.760
Roasted. Well, you don't have a power supply though.

01:10:57.760 --> 01:11:00.360
Do you not have a power supply? Mark?

01:11:01.720 --> 01:11:05.440
Well placed hand. Yeah, the head is very clutched there. Shut up.

01:11:05.440 --> 01:11:06.520
What's in the box?

01:11:08.520 --> 01:11:13.160
This is even with him trying to sabotage me. Look, the cables were inside the case.

01:11:13.160 --> 01:11:19.120
I didn't know those. Unlike Mark, my completed PC here is actually completed.

01:11:21.040 --> 01:11:24.080
Okay, we're gonna do a quick post test. Do I have an HDMI cable yet?

01:11:25.440 --> 01:11:29.880
To demonstrate my confidence that I have made up ground here,

01:11:29.880 --> 01:11:33.360
I'm gonna go ahead and put my side panel on,

01:11:33.360 --> 01:11:39.320
which I know is bad jubies, but I am extremely confident.

01:11:39.320 --> 01:11:42.680
There you go. What a gorgeous little machine.

01:11:43.840 --> 01:11:47.640
HDMI? Oh, you go Jordan. Oh, wait. Okay, yeah.

01:11:47.640 --> 01:11:51.840
So do I have a power cable here? Did we think of that?

01:11:51.840 --> 01:11:55.640
Yep, it's here. Oh, okay, so not here. It's over there.

01:11:55.640 --> 01:12:00.760
That's fine. That's fine. That's close enough. Mark, you put all your stuff.

01:12:00.760 --> 01:12:04.240
Is the plan to put these on? Yeah. Oh, cool.

01:12:04.240 --> 01:12:07.880
Do I get to pick where it goes? Yeah. Ooh.

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.

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?

01:12:18.320 --> 01:12:19.160
Yeah, sure.

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.

01:12:28.160 --> 01:12:31.720
Plastic on plastic. I'm thinking right here. All right, here. Okay, hit me, Dan.

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

01:12:37.360 --> 01:12:39.760
with how many times it slides under the radar?

01:12:41.120 --> 01:12:46.960
You know what? I think the one for me has to be buying secondhand gear.

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

01:12:55.640 --> 01:12:59.600
probably heard at some point, it amazes me

01:12:59.600 --> 01:13:04.600
how often I see people buy something brand new

01:13:04.600 --> 01:13:09.600
for reasons that, just for reasons that I cannot,

01:13:12.440 --> 01:13:18.800
that I cannot understand. There are times when buying brand new makes a ton of sense,

01:13:18.800 --> 01:13:22.760
but I would say that for most people,

01:13:22.760 --> 01:13:28.040
unless your budget is quite high, there are at least some parts that you should

01:13:28.040 --> 01:13:31.720
at least explore, getting something secondhand.

01:13:31.720 --> 01:13:36.440
It does take more work. And maybe part of it is just me being in my,

01:13:36.440 --> 01:13:39.760
my hobbyist mindset and being like, well, what?

01:13:39.760 --> 01:13:44.440
What? Like, deal hunting isn't like the best part

01:13:44.440 --> 01:13:48.560
of building a new PC. You just want to go to a store

01:13:48.560 --> 01:13:52.080
and walk away with everything you need. What?

01:13:52.080 --> 01:13:55.760
That's crazy, right? I do think part of it is just me being sort of

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.

01:14:02.760 --> 01:14:07.440
How few people are open to picking up a used something.

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

01:14:13.880 --> 01:14:17.480
equipment secondhand versus buying a brand new sound bar.

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,

01:14:22.520 --> 01:14:26.440
AV receiver and speaker coming into my house. It's probably dirty.

01:14:26.440 --> 01:14:28.760
And I'm just like, bro,

01:14:29.760 --> 01:14:33.200
you ain't got any like lights all wipes left over

01:14:33.200 --> 01:14:36.720
from the pandemic. You can't, you got, you got no disinfectant.

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.

01:14:42.440 --> 01:14:49.120
All right. Here we go. Oh, we got any, you got any lights?

01:14:49.760 --> 01:14:53.640
Hey, there we go. Let's go. Also for bonus points,

01:14:53.640 --> 01:14:56.840
I'm removing the peels from these. There we go.

01:14:59.000 --> 01:15:02.040
You're five and a half behind. Oh man. You're doing okay.

01:15:02.040 --> 01:15:05.080
I'm doing great. Better than okay.

01:15:05.080 --> 01:15:08.520
No, no, okay. And this thing's going to post. You just watch.

01:15:08.520 --> 01:15:11.960
She's got all her power things plugged in.

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.

01:15:15.480 --> 01:15:18.920
Hey, let's go. All right. I'm onto my next system. See you later, Mark.

01:15:18.920 --> 01:15:22.360
Thanks for tuning in to the sweet 16 stream. Thanks for playing. Good effort.

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?

01:15:26.280 --> 01:15:28.680
The thing today is I'm going to build them until I get good at it.

01:15:29.320 --> 01:15:32.680
He's getting better. I'm getting better. I'm improving. All right.

01:15:32.680 --> 01:15:36.720
So this time I've got 24 minutes and speaking of no competition.

01:15:36.720 --> 01:15:40.440
What do you mean? I am up against the one.

01:15:40.440 --> 01:15:44.560
You just dropped my stuff. Why are you even using that stuff?

01:15:44.560 --> 01:15:47.840
Uh-oh. Wait, Dennis, what are you doing?

01:15:47.840 --> 01:15:53.520
I'm taking the plate off. You're currently unbuilding it.

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.

01:15:58.000 --> 01:16:01.120
What is happening here? Is it your screws? They're all over the...

01:16:01.120 --> 01:16:04.360
I'm looking at the instruction. They're all over the floor.

01:16:04.360 --> 01:16:08.120
My goodness. Well, I think I'm going to win.

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.

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?

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.

01:16:18.800 --> 01:16:22.560
No one told me it's a competition. Come on. Come on. Let's go.

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.

01:16:26.880 --> 01:16:31.680
What's the paste thing? You don't need to worry about paste yet.

01:16:31.680 --> 01:16:35.000
You need to get that CPU in the socket first. All right, all right, all right.

01:16:35.000 --> 01:16:38.360
I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what. And stop. No, no.

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.

01:16:42.120 --> 01:16:46.040
Okay, so that's... No, stop. Just wait. Oh, okay.

01:16:46.040 --> 01:16:48.400
Well, here's the thing.

01:16:49.320 --> 01:16:52.240
Oh, sorry. There's a little prompt open on the thing. I need to...

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.

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.

01:17:05.440 --> 01:17:09.280
All right. How much over were you the first time?

01:17:09.280 --> 01:17:12.280
I don't remember. I thought that that's why I have an official timekeeper,

01:17:12.280 --> 01:17:16.040
Jordan. I don't want stuff going on over here. Okay, maybe someone in the chat.

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.

01:17:20.120 --> 01:17:23.200
So I was at more like 23. More like 23.

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.

01:17:28.640 --> 01:17:33.120
No, I'm not. He took off the CPU cooler mounting brackets.

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.

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.

01:17:40.160 --> 01:17:42.360
And then you proceed to tell me the thing you unbuilt.

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.

01:17:50.560 --> 01:17:53.560
Jeez. I mean, in fairness, we don't really

01:17:53.560 --> 01:17:57.960
build computers very often anymore. So. Exactly. Yeah, you're not really, yeah.

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?

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.

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.

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.

01:18:18.400 --> 01:18:21.960
You've done enough paste in your life. No, wait, no.

01:18:21.960 --> 01:18:25.160
Tell you what, Dennis. Why don't you move your RAM first?

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,

01:18:32.720 --> 01:18:38.080
it doesn't have to kind of be on my way, like in the way, right?

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.

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.

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.

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.

01:18:56.240 --> 01:19:01.360
Why? Those two are the most electrically stable.

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?

01:19:07.240 --> 01:19:10.840
The first and third? Yeah. Oh my goodness. Click these on.

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

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.

01:19:19.160 --> 01:19:22.120
How come they're not the same? Here, I bet you watched this video.

01:19:23.000 --> 01:19:27.360
Yeah, it's really complicated and it has to do with like,

01:19:27.360 --> 01:19:32.240
like, like the signals effectively like, like bouncing back and causing some kind of interference

01:19:32.240 --> 01:19:33.720
on it's, it's,

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.

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.

01:19:46.280 --> 01:19:50.920
Well, okay, hey, I bet you watched that, that Taiwan computer video, right?

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.

01:20:00.680 --> 01:20:04.240
Sorry. Well, at any rate. Wow.

01:20:04.240 --> 01:20:08.440
Yeah, it is. There it is. You know, it's a really funny thing.

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

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.

01:20:21.520 --> 01:20:24.840
This is what I think I'll say about this guy.

01:20:27.880 --> 01:20:33.080
Anyway, in that video, one of the things that I critiqued about the build

01:20:33.080 --> 01:20:38.080
was that the builder opted to use two lower capacity kits

01:20:38.280 --> 01:20:44.280
instead of one higher capacity kit. And the reason that I criticized that was that

01:20:44.320 --> 01:20:47.920
if you run two kits, they're stuck running at a lower speed.

01:20:50.560 --> 01:20:55.920
They're not really listening. So instead of running at like 6,000 or 6,400

01:20:55.920 --> 01:20:59.600
megatransmitters per second, it runs at like 5,200,

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.

01:21:03.920 --> 01:21:07.440
Yeah, well, one number much bigger than the other number. Yes.

01:21:07.440 --> 01:21:10.920
Yes. So it runs at lower number.

01:21:10.920 --> 01:21:14.160
And slower RAM, right, could be bad, right?

01:21:14.200 --> 01:21:16.720
Yeah. Probably. Maybe.

01:21:17.800 --> 01:21:19.760
Might be fine, but could be bad.

01:21:21.440 --> 01:21:25.240
Okay. Okay, Jordan. I'll finish that video. I'll finish that video.

01:21:25.240 --> 01:21:31.040
Hit me with my guess. With your what? Hit me with my guess thing.

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.

01:21:36.280 --> 01:21:40.280
We're having a lot of fun today to celebrate 16 years of LTT

01:21:40.280 --> 01:21:45.700
and 16 million subscribers. We're building 16 PCs for charity.

01:21:45.700 --> 01:21:49.260
And when we build each pair of eight PCs,

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.

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.

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?

01:22:02.940 --> 01:22:06.460
I want number two still, Dan. Yeah. The card thing?

01:22:06.460 --> 01:22:10.460
Okay. Yes. Oh my gosh. So put the thumbnail up, don't listen to him.

01:22:10.460 --> 01:22:14.260
Which video from that year? All right, that's our most viewed. Okay.

01:22:14.260 --> 01:22:17.660
So 2009 to 2010, November to November.

01:22:17.660 --> 01:22:21.420
Yep. Here's your thumbnail. Oh, I got a thumbnail now.

01:22:21.420 --> 01:22:25.220
Okay. What's the thumbnail? Wait, we already did that one.

01:22:25.220 --> 01:22:28.820
It looks very similar. You said that was number two.

01:22:28.820 --> 01:22:32.780
Dennis. Yeah, number two. 2009? This one is labeled as number two.

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.

01:22:37.220 --> 01:22:40.820
I never finished it. No, no, they look very similar.

01:22:40.820 --> 01:22:44.820
Really? Yes. Another XFX GPU? You are correct.

01:22:44.820 --> 01:22:48.940
Oh. This was the HD 5770.

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.

01:22:56.700 --> 01:22:59.740
Apparently. I didn't remember that at all.

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.

01:23:04.220 --> 01:23:08.540
And yes, Dennis, that was a thumbnail back then, okay? Because I don't even...

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?

01:23:11.900 --> 01:23:15.020
Did YouTube support? That's a real thumbnail. It's custom thumbnails yet?

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?

01:23:19.660 --> 01:23:25.380
Yeah. Oh, okay. So it's not entirely my fault that they looked the best.

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.

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.

01:23:35.340 --> 01:23:38.780
And I'm just gonna have to try to remember what it was.

01:23:38.780 --> 01:23:42.380
I want to say, I want to say it was a...

01:23:42.380 --> 01:23:47.140
Oh God, how did you take that? A 560 Ti.

01:23:47.140 --> 01:23:50.140
You're pretty close. I want to say it was a 560 Ti

01:23:50.140 --> 01:23:53.220
and it was a special Duke Nukem Forever edition card

01:23:53.220 --> 01:23:59.260
because that was back before anyone knew what an absolute turd sandwich Duke Nukem Forever

01:23:59.260 --> 01:24:04.180
was gonna be. Yeah. Was it a 560 Ti?

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.

01:24:13.340 --> 01:24:17.060
You were doing a giveaway apparently back then. Oh, cool.

01:24:17.060 --> 01:24:21.540
Dude, I wish that I had archived all the giveaway entries

01:24:21.540 --> 01:24:25.260
for some of the contests that we did back in the day. Yeah.

01:24:25.260 --> 01:24:29.700
Some of them were so funny. And the thing is, you treat YouTube

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.

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,

01:24:42.820 --> 01:24:46.100
even if I could find it, most of them were pulled down over the years

01:24:46.100 --> 01:24:50.140
and it's sad because some of them were so creative

01:24:50.140 --> 01:24:55.100
and so funny. There was this really cute one where they did stop motion

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

01:25:02.340 --> 01:25:06.500
and like someone was attacking the city or something

01:25:06.500 --> 01:25:10.060
and like, I don't know, it was really cool

01:25:10.060 --> 01:25:15.340
and the community was smaller, was hyper-hyper-engaged at that time.

01:25:15.340 --> 01:25:18.580
It was a lot of fun. It was a really fun time on YouTube.

01:25:18.580 --> 01:25:21.900
All right, let's do one more here. Okay, okay, one more guessing game.

01:25:21.900 --> 01:25:25.860
Oh, gosh. You wanna fire up number four there, Dan? Boop.

01:25:25.860 --> 01:25:29.540
Okay, what year is this? This is 2011-2012. Oh, Peridae Ar Drone.

01:25:29.540 --> 01:25:34.820
Yep. Peridae Ar Drone. So this one had 820,000 views in the first year.

01:25:34.820 --> 01:25:39.700
This, I think, was the closest thing to like a viral hit

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.

01:25:47.060 --> 01:25:50.500
I did like a range test in the NCIX parking lots.

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

01:25:55.300 --> 01:25:59.060
like tried to fly them at each other and have them hit in midair,

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

01:26:05.700 --> 01:26:10.180
to the success of that first video. Oh.

01:26:10.180 --> 01:26:15.340
All right, time to get this thing in a case. Okay, that was like neat somehow.

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.

01:26:19.700 --> 01:26:23.060
You take that off here? No, you get more of them.

01:26:23.060 --> 01:26:27.300
So you put them on just like this. Okay, and everyone does it a little different.

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.

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.

01:26:35.460 --> 01:26:38.860
That's the safest way. What do you think, Jordan?

01:26:38.860 --> 01:26:43.180
Who's gonna be the first of my co-hosts to actually finish their PC?

01:26:43.180 --> 01:26:46.220
Don't want to finish? It'll be the next one.

01:26:46.220 --> 01:26:49.660
I finished. Not on time yet though. Who was it?

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?

01:26:54.220 --> 01:26:57.500
Riley. Did he finish? Riley did not finish.

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?

01:27:03.460 --> 01:27:07.420
I mean, mine have worked, but sure. Can you just work before we sell it?

01:27:07.420 --> 01:27:10.700
People are actually buying these. We're selling this on Jawa.

01:27:10.700 --> 01:27:15.620
Yeah. It might already be sold. Yeah, actually, yeah, can you tell?

01:27:15.620 --> 01:27:19.500
Has anyone bought any of the system, Jordan? I'll see if I can find out.

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.

01:27:25.300 --> 01:27:29.660
You guys can go check it out at LTTstore.com.

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?

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.

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.

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.

01:27:48.260 --> 01:27:51.740
It's not done yet. We've sold five of the AMD builds.

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.

01:27:56.660 --> 01:28:01.660
Yeah. Okay, cool. One of those. Well, in fairness to the Intel builds,

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.

01:28:06.660 --> 01:28:09.300
Merch message? Yeah, hit me, Dan. Sure.

01:28:11.140 --> 01:28:14.540
Hold on. Wait for Janice. Are you okay, bud?

01:28:16.300 --> 01:28:19.420
Janice? Why did you put the cable on? I think you broke Janice.

01:28:19.420 --> 01:28:22.620
Hold on, the cable's freezing down, right? Oh yeah.

01:28:22.620 --> 01:28:25.820
Yeah, you want the cable on that fan facing towards the bottom.

01:28:25.820 --> 01:28:28.500
Nice. It gives it a bit of a cleaner look. Yeah.

01:28:29.500 --> 01:28:34.540
All right, hit me, Dan. Figure this is the best time to get an LTT screwdriver.

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?

01:28:40.180 --> 01:28:45.540
Man, I'm gonna call out so hard. One of my elementary school friends.

01:28:45.540 --> 01:28:49.740
You guys remember, oh man, what were they called?

01:28:49.740 --> 01:28:54.580
I was at MDG? The ones that had the computer for a dollar a day?

01:28:54.580 --> 01:28:58.340
Yeah. Was that MDG? I think so. Or was it someone else?

01:28:59.020 --> 01:29:04.020
I can't remember anymore, but he bought a Pentium 3 PC.

01:29:04.620 --> 01:29:08.380
For himself, he bought it with his own money, sort of,

01:29:08.380 --> 01:29:13.300
because like me, he was in grade six or seven or whatever.

01:29:13.300 --> 01:29:16.420
And like me, he didn't have any money.

01:29:16.420 --> 01:29:20.500
So what he actually did was he got his parents

01:29:20.500 --> 01:29:24.900
to sign on for him to finance a computer.

01:29:24.980 --> 01:29:29.340
And I will tell you the same thing that I told him back then.

01:29:31.140 --> 01:29:34.180
That is like the dumbest shit ever.

01:29:34.180 --> 01:29:38.220
Don't do that. They're still around offering those deals.

01:29:38.220 --> 01:29:42.860
They're still doing it, wow. Okay, so the thing about technology

01:29:42.860 --> 01:29:46.380
is that it depreciates so fast

01:29:46.380 --> 01:29:50.180
that if there's an affordability issue,

01:29:50.180 --> 01:29:53.700
you are far better off just waiting around

01:29:53.700 --> 01:29:57.260
for the affordability to reach your savings

01:29:57.260 --> 01:30:01.420
than you are financing something because the interest is a killer.

01:30:01.420 --> 01:30:05.340
Now, I would say it's actually less true today

01:30:05.340 --> 01:30:09.460
than it used to be. Electronics don't move nearly

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,

01:30:14.900 --> 01:30:17.140
he could have had a way faster P4

01:30:18.100 --> 01:30:21.860
for all the money that he spent. Can I help you? Are you?

01:30:22.620 --> 01:30:25.620
You're carrying screws. Oh, okay. Any hoop.

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,

01:30:31.100 --> 01:30:34.620
especially if you can get a reasonable financing rate

01:30:34.620 --> 01:30:39.060
and if there's some reason for it. Like with the incoming tariffs,

01:30:39.060 --> 01:30:44.740
we have a video coming soon that is sort of discussing is now like a time

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

01:30:50.180 --> 01:30:55.860
because it may very well be. But in general, in general, I am very opposed.

01:30:56.700 --> 01:30:59.980
I'm very opposed to using financing to buy something

01:30:59.980 --> 01:31:03.260
that depreciates so quickly.

01:31:03.260 --> 01:31:06.940
Okay, there are other exceptions because you could look at a car

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

01:31:11.100 --> 01:31:15.500
that depreciates so quickly? And I mean, well, for one thing, no, I don't.

01:31:15.500 --> 01:31:19.180
I did not buy any of my early cars with financing.

01:31:19.820 --> 01:31:23.620
I bought cheap crappy cars for as little money as possible.

01:31:23.620 --> 01:31:28.540
So I'm not a huge fan of that, but there are reasons to buy something.

01:31:28.540 --> 01:31:32.300
If the money you can make from having it

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.

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,

01:31:41.260 --> 01:31:45.060
finance the car, right? Like I'm not gonna, no one's gonna give you

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

01:31:50.300 --> 01:31:55.380
and you need to finance it in order to more effectively do that work,

01:31:55.380 --> 01:31:58.380
that's such a totally different conversation

01:31:58.380 --> 01:32:01.380
than if you're like financing a gaming PC.

01:32:01.380 --> 01:32:06.380
This day and age, you straight up, under no circumstances,

01:32:07.300 --> 01:32:12.940
should you be financing a gaming PC because you can get a capable gaming PC

01:32:12.940 --> 01:32:16.180
that'll tide you over for like nothing,

01:32:16.180 --> 01:32:22.120
like next to nothing. You'll pay more in interest on that financed computer

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

01:32:29.140 --> 01:32:32.800
while you wait to be able to afford something new and something nicer.

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

01:32:39.980 --> 01:32:43.980
that are simply not available on older hardware, and that's a totally different calculation

01:32:43.980 --> 01:32:47.540
and I'm a lot more on board. Does that all kind of shine in sparkle?

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.

01:32:52.060 --> 01:32:55.620
I think it's the correct answer. Dan, I literally talked for a little. Question, question.

01:32:55.620 --> 01:32:59.300
Did I say Dan, Dennis? Yeah, I'm Dan. Is this the wrong one?

01:32:59.300 --> 01:33:03.500
It's so short. I can't screw this one in. I have that problem too.

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?

01:33:08.940 --> 01:33:10.380
Three for three, how?

01:33:13.340 --> 01:33:14.180
Oh my God.

01:33:16.700 --> 01:33:20.140
So I only have to buy this half B.O.P.C. and bill themself.

01:33:21.020 --> 01:33:23.740
No, Dennis, you have to take the motherboard out again.

01:33:24.820 --> 01:33:27.820
Dennis, you have to take it all apart. Yeah, also why are you here?

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?

01:33:32.940 --> 01:33:36.020
You missed me. I have no room to work.

01:33:36.020 --> 01:33:39.460
I thought you were supposed to put the PC down to put the motherboard, no?

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.

01:33:45.940 --> 01:33:50.180
Like I have my stuff down here on the floor

01:33:50.180 --> 01:33:57.260
because I have no room to work. Dennis, you have literally like 85% of this table

01:33:57.380 --> 01:34:02.180
dedicated to your stuff and overflowing onto the floor.

01:34:02.180 --> 01:34:06.420
Look at this, Andy. He's also taking up space on the floor.

01:34:06.420 --> 01:34:11.780
That's ridiculous. Okay, Dan, do you wanna hit me with a merge message?

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.

01:34:16.260 --> 01:34:18.460
Yeah, we've already done 200.

01:34:19.540 --> 01:34:23.620
I'm not exaggerating. Let's see, what do we have that's fun here?

01:34:23.620 --> 01:34:25.260
When are we getting LTT sandals?

01:34:27.060 --> 01:34:31.780
I'm sure we get this a lot. He only curated that to bother me.

01:34:31.780 --> 01:34:35.500
I know he knows better. Is that a contentious issue? I actually don't.

01:34:35.500 --> 01:34:40.180
Oh, you didn't know. Okay, so I would love to do an LTT sandal.

01:34:40.180 --> 01:34:43.820
But the challenge is that in order to do a sandal,

01:34:43.820 --> 01:34:47.540
you're not just doing one mold. You have to do a left foot mold.

01:34:47.540 --> 01:34:52.660
You have to do a right foot mold. These are probably relatively complex molds, right?

01:34:52.660 --> 01:34:58.380
These are, I mean, if you're gonna have a couple different colors on the sole,

01:34:58.380 --> 01:35:03.260
then you're gonna have at least a couple stages. So they're reasonably complex molds.

01:35:03.540 --> 01:35:09.940
I don't understand. Also, you're gonna need, let's see,

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

01:35:15.460 --> 01:35:20.260
to find in a range of sandals? Like eight to 12 and all the half?

01:35:20.260 --> 01:35:23.660
At least, at least eight sizes.

01:35:23.660 --> 01:35:27.120
So now I'm on the hook for 16 molds, minimum.

01:35:28.340 --> 01:35:32.180
Good number. Then what else do I have to deal with?

01:35:32.180 --> 01:35:36.300
Oh yeah, minimum order quantities. In order to make that mold cost to make any sense,

01:35:36.300 --> 01:35:40.240
I'm stocking thousands and thousands and thousands

01:35:40.240 --> 01:35:41.460
of these sandals.

01:35:43.940 --> 01:35:47.740
Man, that even assumes that like, we don't know anything about making shoes.

01:35:47.740 --> 01:35:51.020
So could we even, would it even be comfortable? Would it even be any good?

01:35:51.020 --> 01:35:54.740
It's just, it's a huge gamble. It's a huge bet.

01:35:55.780 --> 01:35:59.980
And for what? I don't, you know, I think it's funny.

01:35:59.980 --> 01:36:04.100
You know, I would be the first person to be like,

01:36:05.300 --> 01:36:08.340
you know, yeah, let's make a mean product, I love it.

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.

01:36:14.540 --> 01:36:21.820
I love that stuff. But this is like, huh, this is like a six figure joke

01:36:21.980 --> 01:36:25.780
at this point. You know, you start making sandals because like,

01:36:25.780 --> 01:36:31.140
her and her Linus love socks and sandals, right? That's not, that's not responsible,

01:36:31.140 --> 01:36:33.340
that's not responsible businessmanship.

01:36:35.860 --> 01:36:38.900
Whoever prepped this machine,

01:36:41.780 --> 01:36:45.820
may have overlooked something.

01:36:45.820 --> 01:36:50.580
I will figure it out though. Basically all of my eight pin connectors

01:36:50.580 --> 01:36:55.420
on my power supply are taken up and they shouldn't be.

01:36:55.420 --> 01:36:58.620
So that's fine. Lee, you're so fast.

01:36:58.620 --> 01:37:04.060
It's getting faster. You sound like my wife. One is going to the fan distribution.

01:37:04.060 --> 01:37:07.380
Yeah, but it's, I can use a six pin for that.

01:37:07.380 --> 01:37:11.340
I think, unless those six pins are not, well,

01:37:12.540 --> 01:37:16.340
what? Good to tell you. So the other builds that I've seen so far

01:37:16.340 --> 01:37:19.940
didn't have both eight pin power cables going up to the CPU.

01:37:19.940 --> 01:37:23.940
And I think that may be why I have an extra here.

01:37:23.940 --> 01:37:29.780
Oh, okay. Yeah. I don't think we have enough to do both.

01:37:29.780 --> 01:37:34.260
Yep, that's the problem. So I need to salvage one of those back

01:37:34.260 --> 01:37:35.900
and use it for,

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

01:37:41.420 --> 01:37:45.220
and use it for nothing. I'm just out of connectors on the power supply.

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?

01:37:49.820 --> 01:37:52.740
What am I up against here? I have no idea.

01:37:53.660 --> 01:37:57.300
How many does Linus have to do? He has to do eight himself.

01:37:57.300 --> 01:38:00.660
Okay. We've got two hours left. I can build eight. There's got another four.

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.

01:38:04.300 --> 01:38:07.300
Dude, what a problem. You're doing okay.

01:38:07.300 --> 01:38:13.360
This is not a problem. Easy. I mean, it definitely isn't helping

01:38:13.360 --> 01:38:17.220
when I have to unbuild things, but I got this. So Jordan, what are my times?

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.

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.

01:38:24.900 --> 01:38:28.020
It's not working for me. It's still not working. We'll figure it out.

01:38:28.020 --> 01:38:31.540
Don't worry. Apparently I've got, I opened my phone

01:38:31.540 --> 01:38:35.180
and I have a thousand angry messages from Sean and Jake

01:38:35.180 --> 01:38:38.220
because somebody told me to plug something in. And then I did that

01:38:38.220 --> 01:38:42.820
and I was absolutely not supposed to do that. Nice. Oh, this is not easy.

01:38:42.820 --> 01:38:46.300
Nice. Sorry, everyone at the company. Well, don't worry.

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

01:38:51.540 --> 01:38:56.420
because I can tell you as a web video production company,

01:38:56.420 --> 01:39:00.840
internet, pretty important to our daily operations.

01:39:00.840 --> 01:39:05.220
Yep. Cool. So Jordan is sitting over there with no internet.

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

01:39:09.740 --> 01:39:12.740
for the stream. Why do you still not have internet? Is that my fault?

01:39:12.740 --> 01:39:16.660
I don't know. I think it's probably my fault. Oh, it's a pie.

01:39:16.660 --> 01:39:20.540
What? I'll blame Dan. You see why we like Dennis?

01:39:20.540 --> 01:39:24.180
What he lacks is knowledge and skill. He makes up for an enthusiasm.

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.

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

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

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

01:39:42.460 --> 01:39:46.340
on sponsor spots. So he does like creatives,

01:39:46.340 --> 01:39:50.300
what do we call them? CSP, creative sponsor.

01:39:51.140 --> 01:39:56.180
Creative sponsor productions. So the idea is to make our sponsor spots

01:39:56.180 --> 01:40:00.140
so watchable. Yeah, so entertaining and engaging

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,

01:40:03.540 --> 01:40:06.540
abandon the video a lot less during them.

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.

01:40:10.020 --> 01:40:13.300
On a win show, I mean every week on a win show

01:40:13.300 --> 01:40:18.220
that's the regular stuff. And on LTT videos,

01:40:18.220 --> 01:40:21.940
he used to be on TechLink and now mostly just on LTT stuff.

01:40:21.940 --> 01:40:25.860
Got it. Some of them are pretty funny.

01:40:25.860 --> 01:40:30.380
There's a Vessi spot. Is that Vessi spot with the like stolen sandals?

01:40:30.380 --> 01:40:35.060
Is that up already? Yeah, that one's up in end of September.

01:40:35.060 --> 01:40:37.420
That one performed very well. All right, cool.

01:40:39.980 --> 01:40:44.860
All right, Jordan, are we all caught up on those guest the video things?

01:40:44.860 --> 01:40:47.860
Oh, we're two years behind. Okay, hit me with another then.

01:40:47.860 --> 01:40:50.860
Number six? Yeah. Yeah.

01:40:50.860 --> 01:40:53.900
Do we show the- Or no, number five actually.

01:40:53.900 --> 01:40:57.260
Don't show this one. Don't show it? No.

01:40:57.260 --> 01:41:01.780
Okay, what year was it then? This was 2012, 2013.

01:41:01.780 --> 01:41:04.860
And you'll be shocked to learn it was an unboxing.

01:41:04.860 --> 01:41:08.020
Oh, so hot. 2012, 2013.

01:41:08.020 --> 01:41:11.820
Well, that's gotta be the fire truck. Yeah. Let's see.

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.

01:41:17.500 --> 01:41:21.460
Wow. So I can tell the story behind that. 1.1 million.

01:41:21.460 --> 01:41:26.460
One of our other product managers, one of our junior product managers

01:41:26.460 --> 01:41:30.820
was handling Arctic cooling, right? You know, like freezer series coolers,

01:41:30.820 --> 01:41:35.300
like that silencer series coolers they had, I think back for GPUs back in the day.

01:41:35.300 --> 01:41:39.340
So they were handling Arctic cooling. What do we got here? Is this another 7800 XT?

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.

01:41:45.860 --> 01:41:49.020
So Arctic cooling decided that, well, hey,

01:41:49.020 --> 01:41:53.380
like, I mean, if we can source like coolers from China

01:41:53.380 --> 01:41:56.860
or wherever and we can throw our brand on those

01:41:56.860 --> 01:42:02.780
and sell them or, you know, whatever. Like if we can handle the logistics of sourcing

01:42:02.780 --> 01:42:06.140
and merchandising and marketing and selling, you know,

01:42:06.140 --> 01:42:11.140
coolers, then why not remote control vehicles?

01:42:12.140 --> 01:42:16.900
And they, so they released a tugboat,

01:42:16.900 --> 01:42:23.620
a tank and a fire truck. And as a favor, the junior product manager was like,

01:42:23.620 --> 01:42:28.620
hey, look, I brought in a bunch of these stupid things.

01:42:29.060 --> 01:42:33.740
They're not selling. Can you help me deal with this?

01:42:33.740 --> 01:42:37.420
Can you make a video? Can you like help me get rid of these stupid things?

01:42:37.420 --> 01:42:41.820
And as it turned out, so I, so I said, okay.

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,

01:42:47.740 --> 01:42:52.740
the tank and the boat actually both got a fair number of views.

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,

01:42:59.180 --> 01:43:02.260
although it did take a while,

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,

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.

01:43:10.260 --> 01:43:14.540
Like I remember NCIX brought in like Zojirushi rice cookers.

01:43:14.540 --> 01:43:17.980
And every time I talk about Zojirushi, people who know are like,

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.

01:43:21.660 --> 01:43:27.740
It was crazy. So we had a heck of a time selling those remote control vehicles,

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.

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?

01:43:35.700 --> 01:43:38.180
What was my time for that one? Am I making up time here?

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?

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.

01:43:49.020 --> 01:43:50.420
One and a second from Dennis.

01:43:52.260 --> 01:43:54.940
Too late. You're the one. Okay, here we go.

01:43:55.780 --> 01:43:59.460
Yeah. Wait, you're going to form a head start?

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

01:44:02.860 --> 01:44:05.700
if you quiet down and start building. Yeah, okay.

01:44:06.540 --> 01:44:10.460
Okay. We'll get you a mic in a sec. Yeah.

01:44:10.460 --> 01:44:13.780
All right. My fans are spinning.

01:44:13.780 --> 01:44:17.260
My RGB is lit. Let's go.

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

01:44:22.100 --> 01:44:26.100
and nothing's plugged in. You got, you got nothing plugged in, brother, but...

01:44:27.180 --> 01:44:30.540
Oh, that's not good. That's not an ideal noise.

01:44:31.420 --> 01:44:35.100
Oh! That was not good.

01:44:35.140 --> 01:44:36.820
That was actually kind of bad.

01:44:38.660 --> 01:44:42.060
I just mangled this cable.

01:44:42.060 --> 01:44:45.260
You're posted. Oh, but the system works?

01:44:45.260 --> 01:44:47.940
Yeah. Yay! Nice.

01:44:51.140 --> 01:44:54.460
Wow, that... Well, it's a good thing it's a...

01:44:54.460 --> 01:44:57.460
Well, it's a good thing it's a Snapdragon PC

01:44:57.460 --> 01:44:59.460
and I don't need to charge it very often.

01:45:01.660 --> 01:45:04.740
All right, hey, computer's fixed. Okay.

01:45:05.500 --> 01:45:08.500
I am gonna move on. Which side am I on?

01:45:08.500 --> 01:45:12.140
Am I this side? Am I just like... Yeah, you're done. You're done.

01:45:12.140 --> 01:45:15.900
You're done. Thank you. Whoever's buying this...

01:45:15.900 --> 01:45:19.100
Thanks for coming out. You can't even learn how to build a PC at home.

01:45:22.100 --> 01:45:22.940
Yeah.

01:45:25.740 --> 01:45:26.820
All right.

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.

01:45:37.940 --> 01:45:41.060
We're celebrating 16 years of LCT.

01:45:41.060 --> 01:45:44.100
We're celebrating 16 million subscribers

01:45:44.100 --> 01:45:47.420
and we're bringing in, well, eight.

01:45:47.420 --> 01:45:50.820
Eight members of our team to co-build PCs with me

01:45:50.820 --> 01:45:55.460
that we are going to be selling for charity on java.gg.

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?

01:46:01.580 --> 01:46:05.680
Sure. Is that the next one? We have the right ones there.

01:46:05.680 --> 01:46:12.320
Okay, so I wanted to shout out MSI, who sent over eight motherboards and eight SSDs.

01:46:12.320 --> 01:46:15.920
They sent over all of the B650 gaming plus Wi-Fi boards

01:46:15.920 --> 01:46:19.760
that we're using for our AMD builds. Thank you very much MSI.

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,

01:46:24.640 --> 01:46:29.400
which I think from our conversations so far is probably gonna be a local food bank.

01:46:29.400 --> 01:46:32.680
It just seems like the right time of year to be... Oh, that sounds lovely.

01:46:32.680 --> 01:46:38.280
Yeah, contributing to the food bank. And so that means $1,600 times 16 PCs.

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.

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

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.

01:46:52.880 --> 01:46:57.000
So far, those have not been going great, but...

01:46:57.000 --> 01:47:00.800
Well, this is just gonna be boring then. How can I make this terrible?

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.

01:47:05.280 --> 01:47:08.840
We don't need the shock collar. What about two?

01:47:08.840 --> 01:47:14.280
I mean, need is one thing. Want, well, that's a different word.

01:47:14.280 --> 01:47:18.680
Anyway, I also wanted to shout out Corsair, who sent over eight cases.

01:47:18.680 --> 01:47:22.680
So all of the AMD PC cases were provided by Corsair.

01:47:22.680 --> 01:47:26.320
We ended up paying for almost nothing out of this stuff,

01:47:26.320 --> 01:47:30.360
which is super cool. Yeah, and our sponsor Jawah sent over all the GPUs.

01:47:30.400 --> 01:47:33.600
So that's why those are mismatched, because Jawah's a...

01:47:33.600 --> 01:47:37.160
Right, they're used. They're a marketplace. Oh, cool. Yeah, very cool.

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.

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,

01:47:47.640 --> 01:47:50.800
then it... You are indeed. Let's make that go on.

01:47:50.800 --> 01:47:53.800
It ain't happening, sir. Wait, we're supposed to be racing, right?

01:47:53.800 --> 01:47:57.120
I mean, yeah, we can race. I mean, are we at the same point?

01:47:57.120 --> 01:48:01.040
Like, kind of... Oh, there's already an SSD in there. This is so cheaty.

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,

01:48:04.840 --> 01:48:09.320
the hardest possible PC build. It's just meant to be, like,

01:48:09.320 --> 01:48:12.960
a friendly PC building challenge. It's like friendly, but, like,

01:48:12.960 --> 01:48:16.360
I want to destroy you kind of thing, right? What?

01:48:16.360 --> 01:48:19.800
Why you gotta be like that, Jake? Well, I'm not even trying that hard.

01:48:19.800 --> 01:48:23.480
You're just going so slow. I figure I have to go slow to, like,

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?

01:48:30.360 --> 01:48:34.000
Whoa. Oh, Dan's not there. What?

01:48:34.000 --> 01:48:37.360
Oh. Whoa. Oh, wow. Where'd Dan go?

01:48:37.360 --> 01:48:40.840
Okay, well, cool. We'll find a Dan. We'll find a Dan later.

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?

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...

01:48:48.240 --> 01:48:52.280
Oh, better Dan. Yeah. Better Dan? That's what I call him.

01:48:52.280 --> 01:48:55.840
Only Dan's. Only Dan's. Dan's.com.

01:48:55.840 --> 01:48:59.440
Shit. Dan, see that? Don't say that domain. It's probably a thing.

01:48:59.440 --> 01:49:02.920
Yeah, it's probably a thing. Like all mustached men with a lot of body hair.

01:49:02.920 --> 01:49:05.320
No, stop it. Stop it. Please.

01:49:06.960 --> 01:49:10.120
Please, sir. It's okay. That's why we can't have nice things.

01:49:10.120 --> 01:49:13.680
Yeah. That's why we can't have onlydans.com. Oh, my God.

01:49:14.920 --> 01:49:18.880
I ate it here. You're going to give me so much traffic.

01:49:18.880 --> 01:49:22.120
Too bad you're stuck. Yeah. Forever.

01:49:22.120 --> 01:49:25.320
Hey, Linus, did you ever give out hot chocolate to people in line at NCIX?

01:49:25.320 --> 01:49:28.280
Could quit Lumboxing Day, sir. Probably.

01:49:28.480 --> 01:49:33.160
Oh, I remember NCIX used to do like weird things like that.

01:49:33.160 --> 01:49:38.160
Dude, our boxing day and like grand opening day events,

01:49:38.440 --> 01:49:42.320
they were events. Kind of cool, actually. They were actually fun.

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.

01:49:47.640 --> 01:49:51.280
And like it was, it was, man,

01:49:51.280 --> 01:49:54.400
when NCIX was firing on all cylinders,

01:49:54.400 --> 01:49:58.480
it was actually a pretty cool company overall and a pretty cool place to work.

01:49:58.480 --> 01:50:01.600
Now, not everyone had the same experience I did.

01:50:02.840 --> 01:50:08.080
I got to acknowledge that. I was told multiple times by multiple people

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.

01:50:15.360 --> 01:50:18.840
But I will say that, dang it, that's the second time I've done that.

01:50:18.840 --> 01:50:22.080
It's the second time today I've tried to put it on with the thing.

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?

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,

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.

01:50:35.040 --> 01:50:39.880
Oh, man. It's actually kind of fun to,

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.

01:50:44.360 --> 01:50:51.560
I was 15, actually. For like 26 more days, I was 15 at the time.

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.

01:50:55.200 --> 01:50:58.360
I think so. Yeah, you can start at 14. In BC.

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

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.

01:51:06.520 --> 01:51:11.160
Oh, definitely. Problem child. 100%.

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.

01:51:14.560 --> 01:51:17.680
I think it was Luke that made the,

01:51:17.680 --> 01:51:22.280
Luke is the reason that I got hired because they gave me this just like

01:51:22.280 --> 01:51:25.400
very poopy pre-production small form factor case

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

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.

01:51:35.320 --> 01:51:38.920
No, we specifically built it. We rebuilt it every time. Oh, yeah.

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,

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.

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.

01:51:50.080 --> 01:51:54.280
Not intentionally. And then Luke, I guess, was like, yeah, we should hire that guy.

01:51:54.280 --> 01:51:57.640
That is pretty cool. I mean, we didn't hire him as a writer initially.

01:51:57.640 --> 01:52:01.160
No, well, those didn't exist back then. Yeah, oh, well, they kind of did.

01:52:01.160 --> 01:52:05.600
Like Luke and John. Luke and John were kind of writers at that time.

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.

01:52:09.280 --> 01:52:12.800
Yeah, otherwise known as Linus' personal assistant.

01:52:12.800 --> 01:52:16.360
He did mostly just do whatever I needed done

01:52:16.360 --> 01:52:20.000
because I didn't have time. Well, I never got to organize the warehouse

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,

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.

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.

01:52:34.600 --> 01:52:38.960
Jake deal with sticky note. Deal with this. Can you, can you deal with this?

01:52:38.960 --> 01:52:42.360
And that's it. What is this? I don't know.

01:52:42.360 --> 01:52:45.960
What do I need to deal with? Huh? Those are all minor details.

01:52:45.960 --> 01:52:49.640
Those are all minor details. So like half of my hours would be finding him

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

01:52:53.360 --> 01:52:58.040
and never actually cleaning anything up. Yeah, so I mean, that's why,

01:52:58.040 --> 01:53:01.720
that's why he got fired from that position because he never actually cleaned the warehouse.

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

01:53:08.000 --> 01:53:09.720
for like four years.

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.

01:53:19.200 --> 01:53:23.800
Yeah, that's, that's fair. We didn't really have like clear,

01:53:23.800 --> 01:53:28.120
like clear like positions in the company, really.

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.

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.

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.

01:53:43.920 --> 01:53:47.280
I don't even remember the time before we had snacks.

01:53:47.320 --> 01:53:51.040
Yeah, dude, snacks were such a game changer for me.

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

01:53:56.480 --> 01:54:00.320
becomes a little bit feral, especially him.

01:54:01.160 --> 01:54:05.800
It happened recently because, I was told because of the, the strikes.

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.

01:54:13.000 --> 01:54:16.560
And it's like, look at them. No, everything's fine.

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.

01:54:22.160 --> 01:54:25.400
That wasn't me that dropped that laptop. You remember that, right? That was me.

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.

01:54:29.520 --> 01:54:33.200
It's not, it's not good. It's not great.

01:54:33.200 --> 01:54:36.200
Did you just take my screwdriver? No, you didn't. I thought about it.

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

01:54:40.760 --> 01:54:44.520
and I heard a screwdriver move. That was all the information I had.

01:54:45.520 --> 01:54:49.880
Knowing me, that's a reasonable substance. I've been hanging around with this guy

01:54:49.880 --> 01:54:54.280
for a minute or two, so I've seen pretty likely.

01:54:54.280 --> 01:54:58.640
The only screwdriver that I will ever steal from you is that clear one.

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?

01:55:03.560 --> 01:55:08.720
No. I just like to look at it sometimes and feel a sense of accomplishment.

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.

01:55:12.320 --> 01:55:13.880
Ooh, cable manage this.

01:55:16.320 --> 01:55:19.160
I gotta fix this. Here, can I, yeah, thanks.

01:55:20.120 --> 01:55:24.880
Seriously? Yeah. How does this happen every single time?

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.

01:55:29.160 --> 01:55:31.480
We both have the same size computer.

01:55:33.520 --> 01:55:36.760
The computer takes up the same amount of space. The person doesn't.

01:55:36.760 --> 01:55:42.360
Jake looks bigger. What? Jake looks bigger, is that what you said?

01:55:42.360 --> 01:55:45.680
Hey Jordan, how are we doing for time?

01:55:45.680 --> 01:55:49.600
No, no, I mean each machine. Each machine, what's our,

01:55:49.600 --> 01:55:52.480
how's our time trending on a per machine basis?

01:55:54.480 --> 01:55:58.200
You have 13 minutes left. No, no, I know, but how are we tracking?

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

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.

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.

01:56:11.560 --> 01:56:16.240
I will come do tech support for you. Okay. Jake, do you still use the 7900XTX?

01:56:16.240 --> 01:56:19.840
I do, actually. Casper Explorer on full plane was asking.

01:56:19.840 --> 01:56:23.800
It's actually been really solid. Okay, tech support, bye.

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,

01:56:30.160 --> 01:56:34.200
like in terms of stability, but it wasn't the graphics card's fault.

01:56:34.200 --> 01:56:38.280
It was pretty much in, it ended up being an audio issue

01:56:38.280 --> 01:56:41.720
that was causing it. You were telling me about this. Yeah, oh boy.

01:56:41.720 --> 01:56:48.400
So the new Call of Duty Black Ops 6 seemed to make this problem substantially worse.

01:56:48.400 --> 01:56:51.640
And I'm not really sure why, but apparently other people have experienced

01:56:51.640 --> 01:56:55.480
weird audio issues with it. Anyways, the game would crash.

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

01:57:00.480 --> 01:57:05.480
before the end of the game. And then my whole everything would just pause

01:57:05.480 --> 01:57:10.680
and I could still hear. But then you'd hear like a peek in the audio

01:57:10.680 --> 01:57:13.800
and then the game would resume. And the last thing that I would think,

01:57:13.800 --> 01:57:17.600
the last thing I'd think, if my audio is the only thing that's working,

01:57:17.600 --> 01:57:23.080
is that the issue is my sound hardware. Yeah, yeah, and it was, actually.

01:57:23.080 --> 01:57:25.240
So how'd you diagnose that again? The audio.

01:57:26.680 --> 01:57:31.600
I reinstalled Windows after like, trying literally everything I possibly could

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

01:57:38.340 --> 01:57:41.740
because it has like a default Windows driver that it uses

01:57:41.740 --> 01:57:47.020
when you don't have the drivers. Everything was fine, installed the audio interface drivers,

01:57:47.020 --> 01:57:50.300
and then everything went to crap immediately after. I was like, it's gotta be that.

01:57:50.300 --> 01:57:56.020
Uninstalled them, it stopped crashing. So I bought a new audio interface.

01:57:56.020 --> 01:57:59.060
Which one are you using now? It's a Mo2M4.

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,

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.

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.

01:58:11.900 --> 01:58:16.780
Like, Audigee ZX reviews, you know what I'm saying?

01:58:16.780 --> 01:58:21.100
Nobody really looks at that anymore. The thing with like cheap audio interfaces

01:58:21.100 --> 01:58:25.740
is so many of them are built just with the nearly the exact same hardware.

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,

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

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.

01:58:41.500 --> 01:58:45.340
Yeah. I was investigating some Mo2 stuff for my own setup.

01:58:46.460 --> 01:58:49.980
And any driver issues since then? No. Okay, so confirm.

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.

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?

01:59:01.060 --> 01:59:02.900
Here, let me untrinkle this.

01:59:05.020 --> 01:59:08.420
It was a ART.

01:59:08.420 --> 01:59:11.780
Oh, you bought the cheap stuff. Voice channel. It's not that cheap.

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.

01:59:15.540 --> 01:59:20.460
It had like DSR, EQ. Never mind. Noise gate, compressor, all built in.

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.

01:59:24.340 --> 01:59:28.260
Yeah, yeah, that's nice. And it had, it also has an interface in it.

01:59:28.260 --> 01:59:31.980
That's why I originally got it, because it was everything in one.

01:59:31.980 --> 01:59:35.300
Right. And then. But as it turns out,

01:59:35.300 --> 01:59:40.300
all in ones can sometimes be more trouble than they're worth.

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.

01:59:45.260 --> 01:59:48.820
No Andy, I got nothing. I got absolutely nothing for that.

01:59:48.820 --> 01:59:51.860
Dan, do you want to hit me with a merge message though? Yeah, sure.

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.

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.

02:00:00.940 --> 02:00:04.700
So I don't know if I can actually reach them all. I think I can.

02:00:04.700 --> 02:00:08.220
Nice. I got one here that's more of a comment first. Sure, hit me, Dan.

02:00:08.220 --> 02:00:10.820
Thank you Linus, for all you've done for short people representation.

02:00:12.100 --> 02:00:15.820
And then another one here from Philip. Reasonable. Will CPU pillows make a return?

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.

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,

02:00:25.860 --> 02:00:29.260
but I think someone floated the idea

02:00:29.260 --> 02:00:33.540
of bringing back the CPU pillow to get rid of some alpaca wool.

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.

02:00:38.380 --> 02:00:41.980
So like, I don't know. It's appreciated. Good investment.

02:00:41.980 --> 02:00:44.980
I thought you weren't big on the whole investing in stonks thing.

02:00:44.980 --> 02:00:49.620
Well, alpaca wool is hardly a stonk. I mean, it's stonk.

02:00:49.620 --> 02:00:52.700
It's stonk, like we have it in stock,

02:00:52.700 --> 02:00:56.940
but it's not like stonks. Is alpaca wool a registered security?

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?

02:01:02.620 --> 02:01:06.340
I guess it has to be listed on a stonk exchange. Yeah, I would think so.

02:01:06.340 --> 02:01:10.300
Is there a website called stonks exchange? All right, don't look it up, please.

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.

02:01:14.620 --> 02:01:19.460
Yeah. Man, it's kind of crazy how sort of scary

02:01:19.460 --> 02:01:23.100
the internet has gotten. Like, I don't know, you might be too young for this,

02:01:23.140 --> 02:01:27.180
but we used to use the term surf the web.

02:01:28.260 --> 02:01:31.500
Like, we would, we would- I'm too young to have heard that term.

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.

02:01:37.540 --> 02:01:41.380
What? Like, you surf the web, you're gonna find some stuff, dude.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

02:02:01.740 --> 02:02:05.420
and probably not everything was trying to steal your personal data.

02:02:05.420 --> 02:02:09.100
And it wasn't just core websites. Like, you'd get inundated with ads and stuff.

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.

02:02:13.260 --> 02:02:17.300
Oh, okay. I mean, like, you could surf the web, you know?

02:02:17.300 --> 02:02:22.300
And probably not everything was like a catastrophe.

02:02:22.540 --> 02:02:26.500
You know, like every site you go to is just trying to fish you.

02:02:27.660 --> 02:02:31.740
I don't know, it just feels like, it feels like the internet is as dangerous,

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?

02:02:36.620 --> 02:02:40.500
I scratched the side panel, but no one's gonna know

02:02:40.500 --> 02:02:45.500
because I'm gonna pull out a super awesome move here

02:02:45.500 --> 02:02:48.500
and no one will ever notice. No one will know.

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?

02:02:52.860 --> 02:02:57.100
Where the scratch was. Beautiful. Is there meant to only be one CPU power connector?

02:02:57.100 --> 02:03:01.380
Yes. Why? Because otherwise we don't have enough PCIe connectors

02:03:01.380 --> 02:03:04.460
on the power supply to plug in the RGB interface thing.

02:03:04.460 --> 02:03:07.820
The RGB interface, that's fine, you don't need it. What are you trading with?

02:03:07.820 --> 02:03:11.100
PCIe power. Oh, okay, sure. You can do your Java, we're gonna have a moment.

02:03:11.100 --> 02:03:14.320
Oh, okay, hey, Java mid-spot, look at that.

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.

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?

02:03:25.160 --> 02:03:28.920
And Dan's doing that. Oh. Or do I go over there? Yeah.

02:03:28.920 --> 02:03:33.380
Oh, cool, I go over there. Okay. So we just punch in a price range

02:03:33.380 --> 02:03:37.360
and let's go with verified sellers, apparently.

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

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.

02:03:44.960 --> 02:03:48.200
I am currently looking for verified sellers.

02:03:48.200 --> 02:03:51.320
Okay, can you just filter by verified sellers?

02:03:51.320 --> 02:03:54.360
Here, we'll sort by. The link I gave you had that already on there.

02:03:54.360 --> 02:03:57.840
Oh, you gave me another link, is this not a different link?

02:03:57.840 --> 02:04:02.560
Cool. Oh, that's not okay. This is a smooth production today.

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.

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.

02:04:13.480 --> 02:04:14.320
All right, one sec.

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.

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.

02:04:27.080 --> 02:04:30.560
He sure does. Good gravy, what is this interface?

02:04:30.560 --> 02:04:33.560
There we go, verified sellers. Okay, cool, verified, oh wait.

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.

02:04:37.520 --> 02:04:44.480
Okay, here's a pro gamer PC. 1200KF, RTX 478Ti, 32KTi, this is actually pretty competitive.

02:04:46.600 --> 02:04:51.040
That's pretty nice. I think we have, oh yeah, I know we also have

02:04:51.040 --> 02:04:53.000
a 750 watt power supply.

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.

02:04:58.400 --> 02:05:03.400
I'd say our GPU is, we've got a 7800XT,

02:05:03.920 --> 02:05:06.440
so we're probably reasonably close to this,

02:05:07.160 --> 02:05:10.560
so if I had the choice, I might actually prefer the 478Ti Super.

02:05:11.480 --> 02:05:16.120
We've got, I think we've probably got a slightly nicer case.

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.

02:05:20.200 --> 02:05:23.400
The one is 11 Pro. Cool, okay, that's a nice little machine.

02:05:23.400 --> 02:05:26.520
What else we got here? It's got RGB and everything.

02:05:29.280 --> 02:05:33.280
Here, let's, that one looks cool. Sure, yeah, let's look at that one.

02:05:33.280 --> 02:05:36.520
It's got orange. It's got the same GPU as us.

02:05:36.520 --> 02:05:39.640
We've got a slightly better CPU, a little bit more SSD storage.

02:05:39.640 --> 02:05:43.160
We have two terabytes, but they've also got 32 gigs of RAM.

02:05:43.160 --> 02:05:45.360
There's some pretty decent deals on here.

02:05:46.840 --> 02:05:49.480
Not bad. Neat. All right, cool.

02:05:50.640 --> 02:05:55.340
So my notes say it may look like we're underpricing our builds a little,

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.

02:05:59.960 --> 02:06:03.160
But the only way we were able to do that

02:06:03.160 --> 02:06:06.880
was that the brands that provided these parts for us,

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,

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.

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.

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

02:06:24.960 --> 02:06:28.320
to our local food bank in time for the holiday season.

02:06:28.320 --> 02:06:31.560
Pretty cool little project.

02:06:31.560 --> 02:06:34.640
And a lot of fun today. How's your system going, Jake?

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?

02:06:41.920 --> 02:06:46.080
What happened? Yeah, exactly. Did you put the IO shield plate in?

02:06:46.080 --> 02:06:49.080
Oh yeah, did Jake put an IO shield in? Of course I put it in.

02:06:49.080 --> 02:06:54.560
You are the first. Are you joking? You are the first of our non-Linus builders

02:06:54.560 --> 02:06:59.900
to put in an IO shield. I have built a few computers in my day.

02:06:59.940 --> 02:07:03.660
All of the other ones left out the IO shield. Where the devil is my GPU?

02:07:03.660 --> 02:07:07.220
Every computer in my household that it is possible

02:07:07.220 --> 02:07:09.260
to miss it on, it is missing.

02:07:10.340 --> 02:07:13.860
Jake, did you take my GPU? I didn't take your GPU.

02:07:13.860 --> 02:07:18.060
Did someone take my GPU? I actually don't think I have it. What? Oh.

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.

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?

02:07:27.260 --> 02:07:30.700
Or wait, Jordan, are there any things on your list I'm supposed to do?

02:07:30.700 --> 02:07:33.740
Well, probably. Well, probably. All right, we'll give them a minute.

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?

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?

02:07:42.300 --> 02:07:46.900
A power plug, maybe. Well, yeah, thanks. Hi Linus, just got married in October

02:07:46.900 --> 02:07:50.140
and leaving soon for a three week honeymoon in Hawaii.

02:07:50.140 --> 02:07:53.980
Wow, congrats. Any vacation tips for making this trip extramemorable?

02:07:53.980 --> 02:07:57.220
We haven't gone on a trip like this since 2016.

02:07:57.220 --> 02:08:00.980
I mean, I can tell you right now, given that it's been a minute,

02:08:00.980 --> 02:08:05.260
it's probably gonna be pretty darn memorable.

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?

02:08:09.380 --> 02:08:13.280
Yeah. This is very much, this is very much personal taste.

02:08:13.280 --> 02:08:17.300
But I find the pictures that I actually look back on

02:08:17.300 --> 02:08:20.540
most fondly are not the posed ones.

02:08:21.740 --> 02:08:25.260
Yes, hand it, oh, buy a disposable camera

02:08:25.260 --> 02:08:28.300
and then just take some silly photos.

02:08:29.140 --> 02:08:32.540
Don't overthink the photos, the ones of actual memories for sure

02:08:32.540 --> 02:08:36.660
are definitely better than the posed ones. Like looking back at just like,

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,

02:08:43.900 --> 02:08:46.080
just like chilling or like,

02:08:47.460 --> 02:08:51.820
I don't know, just like the picture of everyone walking down the street, you know?

02:08:51.820 --> 02:08:54.820
You don't have to be in front of a famous landmark.

02:08:55.220 --> 02:08:59.800
And for me anyway, I find the most meaningful memories

02:08:59.800 --> 02:09:03.140
are the ones where it was, you know, nobody really posed.

02:09:03.140 --> 02:09:06.980
You may be just like, make a noise to, you know, get the younglings' attention.

02:09:06.980 --> 02:09:11.140
But other than that, it's just in the moment,

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,

02:09:16.940 --> 02:09:19.020
just like short little video clips.

02:09:20.860 --> 02:09:23.100
You know, just a couple minute video of like,

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.

02:09:32.260 --> 02:09:35.300
And those have been a lot of fun to go back in

02:09:35.300 --> 02:09:38.340
and watch as well. Yeah, put it on outside of the plastic. Seriously?

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?

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?

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?

02:09:50.540 --> 02:09:53.060
What, you peel that? Yeah. That has nothing to do with shipping.

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?

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,

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.

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.

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.

02:10:11.700 --> 02:10:15.060
I'm putting it over here. Got him. What did you do? Did you steal something?

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.

02:10:19.340 --> 02:10:23.100
Oh my goodness. Where can I test this thing? You can plug it in over there.

02:10:24.620 --> 02:10:27.700
Dan, are we working on getting the times for all the systems?

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?

02:10:31.220 --> 02:10:36.020
It's on the ground. Jordan, do you want to, like...

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.

02:10:40.860 --> 02:10:44.580
What? Chat, help. Chat. Oh, what?

02:10:44.580 --> 02:10:47.940
I can still win this? You got time. Go, go, go, go, go. Let's go.

02:10:48.060 --> 02:10:51.820
Speed GPU install. Here we go. Why did I put the side panel back on?

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.

02:10:56.180 --> 02:10:58.380
All I got to do is put these two screws in.

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

02:11:07.260 --> 02:11:11.860
than getting them done quickly because they will be going to some of you

02:11:11.860 --> 02:11:15.340
who are buying them, you know, quality first. But any who?

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.

02:11:19.740 --> 02:11:22.820
Yeah, those ones are from Colorful. Oh, Colorful sent it.

02:11:22.820 --> 02:11:26.820
Oh, that's nice of them. Okay. Hey, look at that.

02:11:26.820 --> 02:11:29.860
And a side panel.

02:11:30.980 --> 02:11:34.220
Oh, we got a power supply in place. The race is on.

02:11:34.220 --> 02:11:38.020
And a front panel. Who can grab the cables first? Cables grabbed.

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.

02:11:42.020 --> 02:11:45.180
Chat is not helping. I think that's kind of a cheat, personally.

02:11:45.180 --> 02:11:48.260
What did you say? Chat is not helping? I think they said at least five.

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.

02:11:51.740 --> 02:11:55.420
You've caught up. You have 30 seconds left. Pencil's down. Let's go.

02:11:55.420 --> 02:12:00.740
Good work. Let's go. How many more? You know, Jake, couldn't help noticing

02:12:00.740 --> 02:12:04.500
that my computer was done.

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

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.

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.

02:12:17.380 --> 02:12:18.220
Here we go.

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,

02:12:25.900 --> 02:12:29.340
let's see if Jake can guess the next yearly.

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.

02:12:33.580 --> 02:12:37.580
Nice. Oh, there's a specific memory.

02:12:37.580 --> 02:12:41.060
So 2013, 2014, what do you think was the most viewed video

02:12:41.060 --> 02:12:44.060
in that year from November to November?

02:12:44.060 --> 02:12:47.100
2013, I have no idea. Were you alive then?

02:12:47.100 --> 02:12:51.500
No. I'm still not alive.

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.

02:12:54.740 --> 02:12:59.620
I made a terrible mistake. And so did Jake.

02:12:59.620 --> 02:13:04.620
So we may have to see who can fix it first to determine who

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.

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.

02:13:15.220 --> 02:13:18.620
I forgot to bend up the tab.

02:13:18.620 --> 02:13:20.340
Oh, honey, that's awful.

02:13:22.980 --> 02:13:27.060
Who in there? How many of you unplugged my computer?

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.

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.

02:13:37.740 --> 02:13:42.740
And so Jake's taking the trial.

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.

02:13:48.380 --> 02:13:52.660
You speak for yourself there, mister. Jake's is much worse.

02:13:52.660 --> 02:13:56.260
There's nothing wrong with mine. Mine's great.

02:13:56.260 --> 02:14:00.020
I need a not stubby screwdriver. Great.

02:14:00.020 --> 02:14:03.740
Do you just have a knife stuffed in there? There's nothing. Relax, Dan.

02:14:03.740 --> 02:14:09.540
Everything's going to be OK, buddy. Oh, boy. Where did you get a knife?

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.

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.

02:14:17.060 --> 02:14:20.220
Linus already got blood on a couple of the other ones, so that's totally fine.

02:14:20.220 --> 02:14:24.180
All right. We're good. Only kind of sharp. Did you mangle it?

02:14:24.180 --> 02:14:27.300
No. That's not the proper way to do that. Look at the thing.

02:14:27.300 --> 02:14:30.300
It's mint. Listen, sir. That's not the proper way to do that.

02:14:30.300 --> 02:14:34.460
I work on BMWs all the time. That's all I do is mangle.

02:14:34.460 --> 02:14:38.140
It's not mangling it if you unmangle it after nobody notices it.

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.

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.

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.

02:14:48.540 --> 02:14:53.900
And then we're just going to go like that. Bend it back a little bit.

02:14:53.900 --> 02:14:57.340
If you're plugging in a cable, it should be fine. Yeah.

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

02:15:20.380 --> 02:15:23.860
Back some more. Because I'm doing things properly.

02:15:23.860 --> 02:15:27.020
Actually bending it. Actually bending it. There you go. Properly.

02:15:27.020 --> 02:15:30.740
Listen to this cope. We're in our safety humidity when we need them.

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.

02:15:33.740 --> 02:15:37.580
Oh my goodness. What? Cut to your friends, not to your face.

02:15:37.620 --> 02:15:40.740
Towards your friends, not to your face. Is that what you said, Dan?

02:15:40.740 --> 02:15:44.300
Yeah. That's the thing Dan would say, all right? Yeah, certainly.

02:15:44.300 --> 02:15:47.580
Well, anyways, you guys are pretty good. She's manned. That's fine.

02:15:47.580 --> 02:15:51.940
I mean, it did that by itself. So are you still doing this?

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

02:15:55.540 --> 02:15:58.660
so that I could. Oh, it ended up back in the port again. It did not.

02:15:58.660 --> 02:16:03.260
I'm just kidding. What a guy.

02:16:03.260 --> 02:16:07.540
That look. All right.

02:16:07.540 --> 02:16:11.540
What's next? What does chat think? Who had the better method?

02:16:11.540 --> 02:16:14.620
Who wins, chat? Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.

02:16:14.620 --> 02:16:17.980
Chat usually sides against me just for the lulls,

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.

02:16:22.180 --> 02:16:25.540
Remember, these are computers that people are actually paying money for.

02:16:25.540 --> 02:16:30.980
Jake, Jake, Jake. They're almost as plain as. Knife, blindness, Jake.

02:16:30.980 --> 02:16:34.780
Jake, knife. I like knife. OK, they like the knife. I like the knife.

02:16:34.780 --> 02:16:39.980
OK. Vote kick knife. I don't know.

02:16:39.980 --> 02:16:44.340
Perfect. All right. Thanks, everybody. Appreciate your support out there.

02:16:44.340 --> 02:16:48.060
Here, Andy. All right. Thanks, Jake. Thanks for popping in.

02:16:48.060 --> 02:16:51.340
Bye. Thanks for being the first one to actually build a functioning computer.

02:16:51.340 --> 02:16:54.660
Yeah, it did work. Well, I mean, it might crash, announce it.

02:16:54.660 --> 02:16:57.780
Yeah, it still could. I mean, we did boot it up once with a thing

02:16:57.780 --> 02:17:02.260
shorting out the DisplayPort port. Where do you want this? On the table.

02:17:02.260 --> 02:17:05.340
This one. Over here. Oh, you want on that table.

02:17:05.340 --> 02:17:09.540
That was the idea, yeah. Hey, did we ever figure out that most viewed video?

02:17:09.540 --> 02:17:13.620
No. Did Jake take a guess? No. He chickened out. I don't have anything.

02:17:13.620 --> 02:17:16.940
Like, there's nothing in my brain that the answer, the field,

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.

02:17:21.020 --> 02:17:24.660
Linus, do you have a guess? What was the year again?

02:17:24.660 --> 02:17:29.700
I think 1314. 1314.

02:17:29.700 --> 02:17:36.300
I'm going to say, yeah, I'm going to say over 10 years.

02:17:36.300 --> 02:17:39.460
480 GTX on Boston. No.

02:17:39.460 --> 02:17:43.180
No. OK, well, it was more similar to the previous year.

02:17:43.180 --> 02:17:46.780
OK, give me a thumbnail. Give me a thumbnail then.

02:17:46.780 --> 02:17:50.100
Oh, boy, it probably says the product name. Oh, no way.

02:17:50.100 --> 02:17:55.260
Really? Yep. It was the Arctic hobby excavator?

02:17:55.260 --> 02:17:58.660
Are you kidding? I didn't even remember there was an excavator.

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.

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.

02:18:07.820 --> 02:18:11.620
That's hilarious. Why were you doing, like, toys like this?

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

02:18:15.420 --> 02:18:18.780
by the second explanation. But I barely listened to it.

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.

02:18:29.540 --> 02:18:36.740
Oh, shh, dude. I ended up being absolutely stoked on how that turned out.

02:18:36.740 --> 02:18:39.740
Should I be cable managing this real quicker? Did you not?

02:18:39.740 --> 02:18:42.900
I mean, I did. I mean, it's in there. So are you even done?

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.

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?

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

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

02:18:59.740 --> 02:19:04.620
thing called quality control. As known as he had prior knowledge, insider trading.

02:19:04.620 --> 02:19:08.500
Just saying. Oh, it's not prior knowledge to know that those things can go

02:19:08.500 --> 02:19:11.820
in there. Does my computer still work? Maybe.

02:19:11.820 --> 02:19:15.380
I'm just wondering. Life gang. Hey, look at that.

02:19:15.380 --> 02:19:18.980
It does. That's awesome.

02:19:18.980 --> 02:19:22.100
I can show you what happened to the cable, if you guys would like.

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

02:19:27.060 --> 02:19:32.220
of this test cart. And when that happened, it landed on my cable.

02:19:32.220 --> 02:19:36.780
It's a USB-C cable, but it's an INI, not an Audi.

02:19:36.780 --> 02:19:39.820
Here's what used to be in it.

02:19:39.820 --> 02:19:43.660
TMI. There you go. That's a bummer. I liked this cable.

02:19:43.660 --> 02:19:47.020
Sorry, what'd you say? You're good. Hey, nice. I posted. OK.

02:19:47.060 --> 02:19:52.460
So I'm going to move on to my next adventure.

02:19:52.460 --> 02:19:55.500
See you later, Jake. See you. Thanks for playing.

02:19:55.500 --> 02:19:58.580
OK, who's next? Your next adventure is cake break.

02:19:58.580 --> 02:20:02.180
Cake break? Oh. Wait, do we get cake? We get cake.

02:20:02.180 --> 02:20:06.260
Yay. Nice. I haven't left yet. I stayed for the cake.

02:20:06.260 --> 02:20:10.140
Should I have chat? Maybe I can check my mic, if you want.

02:20:10.140 --> 02:20:15.540
How you guys doing? All right, I'm no longer connected to my Wi-Fi,

02:20:15.540 --> 02:20:19.500
so chat is no longer updating. Sick. Hey, Dan.

02:20:19.500 --> 02:20:22.780
Hey, Dan. Yeah. Do you want to hit me with a merge message?

02:20:22.780 --> 02:20:28.020
Yeah, I've got loads here for you. All right. Hey, LDRJ.

02:20:28.020 --> 02:20:31.700
Happy birthday, LTT. What personal achievement throughout LTT's life

02:20:31.700 --> 02:20:35.180
are you most proud of?

02:20:35.180 --> 02:20:45.020
Personal achievement. That's a tough one, right? Because you'd have to go personal achievement.

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

02:20:50.380 --> 02:20:55.140
to find anything that I did completely by myself. Well, I know it's your mic.

02:20:55.140 --> 02:20:58.580
Oh, is it because of this pendant I'm wearing? Yeah, I think so.

02:20:58.580 --> 02:21:01.660
It's protecting us. Is it blocking all the 5G?

02:21:01.660 --> 02:21:06.660
Yeah. OK, in all seriousness, though, is my mic good?

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

02:21:09.940 --> 02:21:13.540
to find things that I personally achieved completely on my own.

02:21:13.540 --> 02:21:17.140
And then I was thinking, no, even back really far,

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.

02:21:22.500 --> 02:21:28.020
So I don't know, if I had to pick something,

02:21:28.020 --> 02:21:33.060
I'd say being a real company, where people pay their bills

02:21:33.060 --> 02:21:39.340
and feed their families and have snackies in the kitchen.

02:21:39.340 --> 02:21:42.580
Yeah, we have free snackies. Most of the time, most of the time,

02:21:42.580 --> 02:21:46.980
all the good stuff goes pretty fast. But there's almost always something there

02:21:46.980 --> 02:21:50.140
if you're desperate enough.

02:21:50.140 --> 02:21:56.100
That would be a really interesting data point

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

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

02:22:12.980 --> 02:22:17.380
index of quality. That would be a very interesting metric.

02:22:17.380 --> 02:22:23.060
Anyway, am I supposed to open this? All right, we've got a cake break.

02:22:23.060 --> 02:22:26.100
Has anyone partake? Oh, wow.

02:22:26.100 --> 02:22:30.300
That's cute. They are bombs.

02:22:33.740 --> 02:22:36.740
I'm going to go with balloons. All right, yes, good.

02:22:36.740 --> 02:22:43.020
You're upside down. In fairness to me, it was going this way.

02:22:43.020 --> 02:22:44.540
They kind of look like bombs.

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?

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

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.

02:22:59.100 --> 02:23:03.540
Oh, really? Oh, that's fun. All right, Happy Sweet 16 LTT.

02:23:03.540 --> 02:23:12.700
Let's go. All right, so should I just be awful and do this?

02:23:12.700 --> 02:23:15.200
Whatever you want for your piece, you go nuts. Nice.

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.

02:23:24.500 --> 02:23:29.460
People get extremely angry when I eat on stream.

02:23:29.460 --> 02:23:33.540
Yeah, yeah, get in here. All right, I'm here.

02:23:33.540 --> 02:23:36.980
You used my knife for your cake.

02:23:36.980 --> 02:23:40.060
What was the cake knife? Mine now. It's a computer knife.

02:23:40.060 --> 02:23:45.380
You can have it. This knife is probably expensive places.

02:23:45.380 --> 02:23:49.620
Well, Beth's watched it. Oh, you did? Yeah. Oh, nice. It's our prop knife.

02:23:49.620 --> 02:23:53.220
It actually lives on the kitchen here. We used to have a little magnetic knife thing,

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.

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?

02:24:00.700 --> 02:24:04.940
Yep. I got to switch your mic pack battery, Linus.

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.

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.

02:24:11.300 --> 02:24:15.660
He seriously just cut that. Wow. Damn, I've got one here.

02:24:15.660 --> 02:24:19.380
Yeah, a swab Linus is packed for me. Yep. Please, so we can eat some cake.

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.

02:24:22.580 --> 02:24:25.620
Totally reasonable. What is the problem?

02:24:25.620 --> 02:24:30.060
One person's going to get a little angled piece. That's fine.

02:24:30.060 --> 02:24:33.540
Listen, you have lost your knife for this, so just relax.

02:24:33.540 --> 02:24:35.340
Are you trying to do the chocolate magic trick?

02:24:38.340 --> 02:24:42.340
Yes. Dude, this isn't.

02:24:42.340 --> 02:24:47.060
We're not doing this here. I am, right now, actively, see?

02:24:47.060 --> 02:24:50.140
And lovely.

02:24:50.140 --> 02:24:53.060
See you later. All right, see you later, Andy. Hi, second, Andy.

02:24:56.060 --> 02:24:59.100
It's over there.

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?

02:25:03.980 --> 02:25:07.140
Oh, my goodness.

02:25:07.140 --> 02:25:11.780
This is dangerous. Yeah, the knife is just kind of hanging off of it.

02:25:11.780 --> 02:25:15.140
Oh! Let's put that out here. Yeah, yeah, we'll take it out there.

02:25:15.140 --> 02:25:18.500
We'll take it out there. Take it outside. Will other people have cake?

02:25:18.500 --> 02:25:21.940
Yeah. Let them eat cake. OK, Marie.

02:25:22.140 --> 02:25:22.640
OK.

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.

02:25:31.860 --> 02:25:36.740
See you later, Andy. See what he ends up doing? There you go, they're back.

02:25:36.740 --> 02:25:41.020
All right, cool. Oh, man.

02:25:41.020 --> 02:25:44.100
Wow, this has been quite the stream today.

02:25:44.100 --> 02:25:47.580
Oh, look. We're going to get another competently built PC.

02:25:47.580 --> 02:25:51.100
It's John from the lab. Thank goodness.

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.

02:25:55.980 --> 02:25:59.100
shield on. And then our fourth guest builder put the I.O.

02:25:59.100 --> 02:26:03.420
shield on, but had the tab sticking into the DisplayPort port.

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.

02:26:08.300 --> 02:26:12.900
So I'm still giving myself a 75% passing grade here

02:26:12.900 --> 02:26:15.940
for building PCs. That's fair. All right.

02:26:15.940 --> 02:26:21.420
So clock's running. We've got half an hour. I think you can.

02:26:21.420 --> 02:26:25.420
John, do you think you can build a computer in half an hour? Absolutely not.

02:26:25.420 --> 02:26:29.860
Yeah, for sure. But you asked him to build a test bench.

02:26:29.860 --> 02:26:33.580
Oh. He just slaps them in there.

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.

02:26:37.780 --> 02:26:40.980
Cases don't exist. He gets confused.

02:26:40.980 --> 02:26:45.780
He's all like, mama. He just doesn't get.

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.

02:26:52.340 --> 02:26:57.260
Tell us something about John that the audience is unlikely to know.

02:26:57.260 --> 02:27:02.580
I did archery competitively for 13 years.

02:27:02.580 --> 02:27:08.340
OK. I also did not know that. So is that like, do you bring that up

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.

02:27:14.900 --> 02:27:18.380
Got it. Excellent. Why?

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.

02:27:25.700 --> 02:27:30.580
Started as when we were on vacation in Mexico one year.

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.

02:27:38.740 --> 02:27:44.220
So it was a bad time. And then for my birthday the next year,

02:27:44.260 --> 02:27:47.540
my parents actually took me to an archery club.

02:27:47.540 --> 02:27:50.660
And then since then I was enamored by it.

02:27:50.660 --> 02:27:55.540
You were just hooked. Yeah. Yeah, and then nowadays if it shoots,

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

02:28:00.660 --> 02:28:04.900
a little bit, why archery? That was like my favorite thing at summer camp.

02:28:04.900 --> 02:28:10.060
That was my favorite station. And we had this little sporting goods store.

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

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

02:28:19.660 --> 02:28:23.100
it's called anymore. But there's this little sporting goods store in Ladner

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.

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.

02:28:38.660 --> 02:28:40.940
And I couldn't tell you why.

02:28:41.900 --> 02:28:46.980
They weren't elegant. I just loved the, I loved drawing it back.

02:28:46.980 --> 02:28:50.380
Now, the thing that everyone's going to need to know here

02:28:50.380 --> 02:28:53.860
is what's your archery style?

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?

02:28:58.500 --> 02:29:04.180
That would be pretty dope. I mean, it would be pretty hard with a bow.

02:29:04.180 --> 02:29:08.580
You could do it. You just set up a rig? Yeah.

02:29:08.580 --> 02:29:12.020
So do you have the cool glasses and stuff? Or are you just like it?

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.

02:29:17.100 --> 02:29:20.140
It was a compound bow. And typically.

02:29:20.140 --> 02:29:23.340
So you don't knock it on the side. It goes through the thing? Yeah.

02:29:23.340 --> 02:29:28.500
So what about the feathers, though? So the way that it has a drop rest,

02:29:28.500 --> 02:29:32.020
most competition bows for compounds have drop rest.

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.

02:29:36.820 --> 02:29:41.580
So normally, an arrow rests on a rest of some sort that's

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?

02:29:45.660 --> 02:29:48.660
Yeah, exactly. Don't settle for the rest.

02:29:48.660 --> 02:29:53.700
Settle for the best rest. Sorry.

02:29:53.700 --> 02:29:56.940
OK. So normally, you've got to have some kind of rest.

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.

02:30:01.460 --> 02:30:04.620
And as you draw back, it lifts up.

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

02:30:09.460 --> 02:30:12.660
anything as it's flying. What? Yeah.

02:30:12.660 --> 02:30:15.660
But then wouldn't it like go down? No.

02:30:15.660 --> 02:30:19.140
Because the arrow is already mid-flight.

02:30:19.140 --> 02:30:23.300
Huh. OK. Sure.

02:30:23.300 --> 02:30:26.700
And that's good. Yeah.

02:30:26.700 --> 02:30:31.180
Because then you don't have anything potentially influencing the flight path.

02:30:31.220 --> 02:30:31.940
I see.

02:30:35.380 --> 02:30:39.340
Oh, OK. I'm having a very hard time wrapping my brain around why,

02:30:39.340 --> 02:30:42.860
how it would not kind of start to go down a little bit.

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.

02:30:49.380 --> 02:30:51.700
So when did you stop competing?

02:30:55.780 --> 02:30:59.980
You're with that a day and I think it was 22?

02:30:59.980 --> 02:31:04.380
Oh, OK. So like quite recently then.

02:31:04.380 --> 02:31:08.580
I wish I was that young still. Oh, 22 years old.

02:31:08.580 --> 02:31:11.660
Yeah, yeah. I thought you meant 2022.

02:31:11.660 --> 02:31:16.780
All right, never mind. OK, fair enough. Hey, it's blue on 1700, right?

02:31:16.780 --> 02:31:20.100
I think so. I think so too. We're both going with I think so.

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.

02:31:26.620 --> 02:31:30.660
See how it goes. Pretty sure it's blue.

02:31:30.660 --> 02:31:34.540
Pretty sure it's blue. There are color-coded standoffs

02:31:34.540 --> 02:31:38.260
for our AT&T Pistons Clues. I don't. You don't have a booklet?

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.

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

02:31:49.260 --> 02:31:54.180
real quick here. Intel sent over eight CPUs for our builds.

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.

02:31:58.020 --> 02:32:02.380
We've got Core i7-14700KF processors.

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.

02:32:06.100 --> 02:32:09.620
And this gives us like 20 cores or something stupid like that.

02:32:09.620 --> 02:32:15.540
Hopefully, the BIOS is up to do on these. A lot of flipping on the packaging.

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?

02:32:20.340 --> 02:32:25.940
Oh, god, don't. Yeah, John. The product lineups have gotten so complicated.

02:32:25.980 --> 02:32:30.260
And there's a barcode over top of my sticker.

02:32:30.260 --> 02:32:33.460
They used to say how many cores they have on them. They don't anymore.

02:32:33.460 --> 02:32:38.940
That's weird. Dan, help me. Is it 20 cores on a 14700KF?

02:32:38.940 --> 02:32:41.940
Oh, chat. Chat's there for me.

02:32:41.940 --> 02:32:45.620
Yeah, I think it's 1420.

02:32:45.620 --> 02:32:49.780
Chat says no. All right, how many cores is it? Hit me, chat.

02:32:49.780 --> 02:32:53.300
Hit me, chat. It's on the prompter. Oh, nice.

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.

02:32:59.340 --> 02:33:02.540
Mm, Intel builds.

02:33:02.540 --> 02:33:06.980
Hey, there we go. 20 cores. 20 cores, 28 threads.

02:33:06.980 --> 02:33:10.020
That's the one. That's what I said, right? Did I say 20? Totally.

02:33:10.020 --> 02:33:12.020
Yes. All right, sick.

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.

02:33:19.700 --> 02:33:23.940
Got all the little specs. So anyway, Intel sent these over so that when

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.

02:33:29.740 --> 02:33:32.740
So it's going to be going to one of our local food banks,

02:33:32.740 --> 02:33:35.980
which is a pretty important thing to contribute to this time

02:33:35.980 --> 02:33:40.220
of year. All right, Jordan, hit me with a challenge,

02:33:40.220 --> 02:33:43.100
or you can throw it down for a merge message, or whatever you'd like.

02:33:46.780 --> 02:33:51.780
Ooh, a price challenge. This is such an organized stream.

02:33:51.780 --> 02:33:55.180
We're celebrating 16 years of streaming challenges.

02:33:55.180 --> 02:33:59.860
All right, I'm good. You think we would have figured it out by now?

02:33:59.860 --> 02:34:03.540
No, maybe after 32.

02:34:03.540 --> 02:34:08.260
So let's do a pricing challenge. OK. What was the price of that firestruck?

02:34:10.780 --> 02:34:15.220
They weren't cheap. I remember them being, you know,

02:34:15.260 --> 02:34:18.340
not completely ridiculous, unreasonable,

02:34:18.340 --> 02:34:23.140
but certainly not cheap. RC.

02:34:23.140 --> 02:34:26.140
Wasn't it like $1,200 or something like that?

02:34:26.140 --> 02:34:30.140
No. No way. Well, that would have been way back in the day.

02:34:30.140 --> 02:34:34.140
I'm going to say that the RC firetruck was 2012.

02:34:34.140 --> 02:34:40.140
In 2012, I'm going to say it was $330.

02:34:40.140 --> 02:34:46.060
That's some of the good guess. You're high. How dare you, 270?

02:34:46.060 --> 02:34:49.060
The price I found on an archive page from NCIX

02:34:49.060 --> 02:34:52.060
was $99 Canadian. Wow.

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.

02:34:56.060 --> 02:34:59.060
All right. I promise you. All right.

02:34:59.060 --> 02:35:03.060
I promise you. I believe you. Now, our videos weren't sophisticated enough back then

02:35:03.060 --> 02:35:06.060
to have so much as a, like, print screen,

02:35:06.060 --> 02:35:10.980
screenshot of the product page. So we're not going to be able to go back

02:35:10.980 --> 02:35:13.980
and look at what it cost when it was first launched.

02:35:13.980 --> 02:35:16.980
But there's no way that it was $99.

02:35:16.980 --> 02:35:20.980
That would have been a sick value for $100. It was actually interesting going back

02:35:20.980 --> 02:35:23.980
because I found a video of you talking about why we will never

02:35:23.980 --> 02:35:26.980
talk about prices in our videos. Oh, really?

02:35:26.980 --> 02:35:29.980
Yeah. Because you wanted them to be evergreen.

02:35:29.980 --> 02:35:32.980
Yes. We gave up on that at a certain point.

02:35:32.980 --> 02:35:35.980
Yes. It turns out that when you review a product,

02:35:36.900 --> 02:35:39.900
people, for the most part, want you to talk about the value of it.

02:35:39.900 --> 02:35:42.900
And we particularly ran into trouble with that

02:35:42.900 --> 02:35:45.900
during the great GPU pricening

02:35:46.900 --> 02:35:50.900
during the COVID lockdowns and the crypto mining boom

02:35:50.900 --> 02:35:55.900
because we tried to kind of... This was before your time, John.

02:35:55.900 --> 02:35:58.900
But we tried to kind of review a GPU

02:35:58.900 --> 02:36:01.900
in the context of, like,

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

02:36:07.820 --> 02:36:12.820
and its relative pricing against what relatively speaking existed

02:36:12.820 --> 02:36:16.820
rather than kind of get into that everything's a terrible value

02:36:16.820 --> 02:36:20.820
and absolutely nothing makes any sense and everything is horrible.

02:36:20.820 --> 02:36:23.820
You're talking about the landscape today is just perfect.

02:36:23.820 --> 02:36:27.820
Well... It's funny because people talk far less

02:36:27.820 --> 02:36:31.820
about how bad it is right now. It's because it's normalized.

02:36:31.820 --> 02:36:36.740
But it's not that much better. As far as I can tell,

02:36:36.740 --> 02:36:40.740
the GPU manufacturers, I mean, especially NVIDIA,

02:36:40.740 --> 02:36:44.740
because being the market leader, they kind of set the curve.

02:36:44.740 --> 02:36:48.740
They basically saw, hmm, so they'll pay that much.

02:36:48.740 --> 02:36:52.740
And we're like, okay, well, we have effectively

02:36:52.740 --> 02:36:56.740
a semi-monopoly in this space,

02:36:56.740 --> 02:37:00.740
in this discrete gaming GPU space. Well, I guess these are already installed.

02:37:00.740 --> 02:37:04.740
Yes, they're already installed. They don't have a relative whatsoever

02:37:04.740 --> 02:37:08.740
to ever adjust pricing back down. So things did come down a little.

02:37:08.740 --> 02:37:12.740
But we are nowhere near. And you don't have to go back that far.

02:37:12.740 --> 02:37:16.740
We are nowhere near what, you know, the reasonable pricing

02:37:16.740 --> 02:37:20.740
we saw for 30 series was. It's kind of wild, actually.

02:37:20.740 --> 02:37:24.740
How we've all just kind of gone, okay,

02:37:24.740 --> 02:37:28.740
well, I guess that's what GPU costs now.

02:37:28.740 --> 02:37:32.740
Yeah. Not a fan, to be honest with you.

02:37:32.740 --> 02:37:36.740
Yeah, like gaming, well, gaming still is accessible.

02:37:36.740 --> 02:37:40.740
I mean, part of that is thanks to IGPUs.

02:37:40.740 --> 02:37:44.740
Thanks to companies like our sponsor, Jawa.gg, who makes it easy

02:37:44.740 --> 02:37:48.740
to buy second-hand GPUs. But

02:37:48.740 --> 02:37:52.740
brand new GPUs, like brand new current-gen GPUs are

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?

02:37:56.740 --> 02:38:00.740
Yeah, sure. I've got a bunch here I want to do a couple. Sure.

02:38:00.740 --> 02:38:04.740
Hey Linus, finally getting my hands on the screwdriver. What will be

02:38:04.740 --> 02:38:08.740
the next episode of Wacky Water Cooling Solutions with Alex and Linus?

02:38:08.740 --> 02:38:12.740
Truly my favorite series on the channel. Ooh, Wacky Water Cooling

02:38:12.740 --> 02:38:14.740
with Alex and Linus. What do we have planned?

02:38:16.740 --> 02:38:20.740
I know that we want to do something in the office,

02:38:20.740 --> 02:38:24.740
like some kind of some kind of whole room water cooling of some sort,

02:38:24.740 --> 02:38:28.740
but I've kind of talked about this on Wandshow.

02:38:28.740 --> 02:38:32.740
Our office situation here may

02:38:32.740 --> 02:38:36.740
change at some point, and so I don't think we're looking to do anything

02:38:36.740 --> 02:38:40.740
big to this building right now.

02:38:40.740 --> 02:38:44.740
That depends, because we may just not be able to find anything.

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...

02:38:48.740 --> 02:38:52.740
Yeah, okay, that's funny. Look, I'm like what?

02:38:52.740 --> 02:38:56.740
I mentioned to him when we started. Yeah, hey, three people who had afford

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.

02:39:00.740 --> 02:39:04.740
We're on our Intel platforms now, and they have an integrated diode shield.

02:39:04.740 --> 02:39:08.740
There you go, so everything's fine. Anyway, Wacky Water Cooling Solutions,

02:39:10.740 --> 02:39:14.740
I want to get one of those water-cooled air conditioners.

02:39:16.740 --> 02:39:20.740
And yeah, but that might be a Linus and Jake thing, because that'll probably be

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.

02:39:24.740 --> 02:39:28.740
I had a leak this weekend. Actually, I might have

02:39:28.740 --> 02:39:32.740
a picture of what happened on my phone. Ugh, here, let me see

02:39:32.740 --> 02:39:36.740
if I have a picture. It was not good though, and this

02:39:36.740 --> 02:39:40.740
jerk, I messaged him on the weekend.

02:39:40.740 --> 02:39:44.740
I'm like, yeah, that thing that you helped me build is

02:39:44.740 --> 02:39:48.740
leaking all over the place. I was helpful.

02:39:48.740 --> 02:39:52.740
And you were like, lol. Well, it was funny.

02:39:52.740 --> 02:39:56.740
You were like holding it with your finger. It was ridiculous.

02:39:56.740 --> 02:40:00.740
Okay, John, I send him this, and his response is

02:40:00.740 --> 02:40:04.740
lol, because Just put a bucket under it.

02:40:04.740 --> 02:40:08.740
No, because it would drain the whole loop. So?

02:40:08.740 --> 02:40:12.740
So the fitting on there just snapped off. No, no, no, no. You snapped it off.

02:40:12.740 --> 02:40:16.740
No, I didn't. Dude, it did not just explode itself.

02:40:16.740 --> 02:40:20.740
No, it did. Jake, I showed your stepdad what happened

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

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

02:40:28.740 --> 02:40:32.740
clear plastic. And if you look at it, most of the,

02:40:32.740 --> 02:40:36.740
most of where it's severed is shiny. Like a

02:40:36.740 --> 02:40:40.740
crack, like a sudden break. And then there's like 20% of it

02:40:40.740 --> 02:40:44.740
where it sheared off. Where I went to tighten it, because I thought

02:40:44.740 --> 02:40:48.740
it was just loose, because it was like with spewing water. So I went to

02:40:48.740 --> 02:40:52.740
tighten it, and the whole thing just immediately came off. I barely touched it.

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

02:40:56.740 --> 02:41:00.740
we installed it, and the valve was straight. So I think something like fell off that

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.

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

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?

02:41:12.740 --> 02:41:16.740
It is, yes. That's how I add screen recording to the live stream.

02:41:16.740 --> 02:41:20.740
Seriously? Okay, that's going to be trash quality.

02:41:20.740 --> 02:41:24.740
Okay. So with that said,

02:41:24.740 --> 02:41:28.740
so with that said, until the end of the day, December 2nd.

02:41:28.740 --> 02:41:32.740
That's all you need? Sure. Update for your Linux.

02:41:32.740 --> 02:41:36.740
That's how we do it? I know what video that's for.

02:41:36.740 --> 02:41:40.740
I know what video that's for. We are finally announcing

02:41:40.740 --> 02:41:44.740
the product that the NAS software

02:41:44.740 --> 02:41:48.740
that I made my second Hey, this really needs to exist, and I guess

02:41:48.740 --> 02:41:52.740
if I don't fund it, nobody else will. My second tech investment

02:41:52.740 --> 02:41:56.740
into a NAS software and there's going to be some kind of special

02:41:56.740 --> 02:42:00.740
offer that is only available for a limited time. I guess that's the new

02:42:00.740 --> 02:42:04.740
time window for it. Very cool. Very, very, very

02:42:04.740 --> 02:42:08.740
very cool. I have a sales update for you. Oh, sales update.

02:42:08.740 --> 02:42:12.740
We are sold out. We're sold out of what? Out of our Java computers.

02:42:12.740 --> 02:42:16.740
Wait, all these computers are gone? Yep. Oh. You better get them done. Does that mean

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

02:42:20.740 --> 02:42:24.740
got the money, what does it matter, right? Thanks because I became a camera person.

02:42:24.740 --> 02:42:28.740
You became a camera person? Oh, we sold out all of them? Yeah.

02:42:28.740 --> 02:42:32.740
He's that powerful. Yeah, that's the power of John.

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

02:42:36.740 --> 02:42:40.740
in shortage. Look at that mug. I want to buy a computer.

02:42:42.740 --> 02:42:46.740
Oh, that's fantastic. Thank you guys so much. So that means

02:42:46.740 --> 02:42:50.740
that we are contributing like, what does it work out to?

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

02:42:54.740 --> 02:42:58.740
22,000, 23,000, probably US to local food banks.

02:42:58.740 --> 02:43:02.740
That's awesome. Thank you so much, you guys. Super cool. Every time

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.

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

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

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.

02:43:18.740 --> 02:43:22.740
Oh, wow. To go back and do this one again, I think

02:43:22.740 --> 02:43:26.740
I might put the cooler in after the fact because

02:43:26.740 --> 02:43:30.740
this is not as roomy a case as the first one we were working in.

02:43:30.740 --> 02:43:34.740
It's definitely nice that it's really compact, but it is not

02:43:34.740 --> 02:43:38.740
the roomiest. I also may have found one other small challenge.

02:43:38.740 --> 02:43:42.740
Mine are bigger. Well, I mean, I

02:43:42.740 --> 02:43:46.740
can work in it. Yes, that is my superpower. But it's

02:43:46.740 --> 02:43:50.740
a little trickier to work in. Also, I may have noticed one small problem

02:43:50.740 --> 02:43:54.740
because we're using higher profile memory. Yeah, I was concerned

02:43:54.740 --> 02:43:58.740
about that too. I think this fan is not going to be

02:43:58.740 --> 02:44:02.740
inside the computer. We might be able to put it on

02:44:02.740 --> 02:44:06.740
the reverse side. I think we can get away with the one fan

02:44:06.740 --> 02:44:10.740
on the NHD-15 on this thing. This is only a 14700.

02:44:10.740 --> 02:44:14.740
I Okay, hold on.

02:44:14.740 --> 02:44:18.740
You know what we could do is we could just pull from our inventory

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.

02:44:22.740 --> 02:44:26.740
That's what we did in the Keras machine. Okay. Yeah, let's do that.

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

02:44:30.740 --> 02:44:34.740
to replace that 140 millimeter fan with a 120? All right. Okay, that should be fine.

02:44:34.740 --> 02:44:38.740
Have we shown it out to our contributors for this? Oh, no, I haven't.

02:44:38.740 --> 02:44:42.740
ASUS sent over eight mother boards

02:44:42.740 --> 02:44:46.740
and two GPUs. So the Z790 plus Wi-Fi

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

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

02:44:54.740 --> 02:44:58.740
partners who provided stuff for the stream today were so generous, it means that

02:44:58.740 --> 02:45:02.740
pretty much the entire retail value of these machines

02:45:02.740 --> 02:45:06.740
that people are paying is going to be going to the food bank.

02:45:06.740 --> 02:45:10.740
So that's super exciting. We set out to do this with the goal

02:45:10.740 --> 02:45:14.740
of contributing all of the profits for the builds and it turned out that

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.

02:45:18.740 --> 02:45:22.740
So then it's pure profit. So it's pure donation.

02:45:22.740 --> 02:45:26.740
This is pretty cool. And 16 people are going to get

02:45:26.740 --> 02:45:30.740
sick deal on a computer. I can't believe how fast these sold.

02:45:30.740 --> 02:45:34.740
Now can you imagine if we were a retailer just like building computers

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.

02:45:38.740 --> 02:45:42.740
We should just be becoming peace.

02:45:42.740 --> 02:45:46.740
Linus build tips. LCIX.com

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.

02:45:54.740 --> 02:45:58.740
And then it's no problem. That would really save a lot of money

02:45:58.740 --> 02:46:02.740
in the long run. Oh, I'm changing that sign in my office.

02:46:02.740 --> 02:46:06.740
You know, I have actually tried to buy LCIX.com several times.

02:46:06.740 --> 02:46:10.740
I make about a yearly offer every year or so.

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

02:46:14.740 --> 02:46:18.740
between me and the current owner on the value of it.

02:46:18.740 --> 02:46:22.740
So until we can bridge that gulf

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

02:46:26.740 --> 02:46:30.740
and I don't think anyone else is lined up to buy it.

02:46:30.740 --> 02:46:34.740
So time's on my side. Yeah, hit me, Dan.

02:46:34.740 --> 02:46:38.740
Hey everyone, I have a question. With my area having no services

02:46:38.740 --> 02:46:42.740
to build or repair PCs and a lack of ways for people

02:46:42.740 --> 02:46:46.740
to get good support for their techniques, any tips on starting

02:46:46.740 --> 02:46:50.740
to provide that myself? I think that if we learn to

02:46:50.740 --> 02:46:54.740
anything from that Facebook

02:46:54.740 --> 02:46:58.740
PC video a little while ago where we hired random people on Facebook

02:46:58.740 --> 02:47:02.740
to build PCs for us, I think what we learned from that

02:47:02.740 --> 02:47:06.740
is that there is a shockingly active marketplace of both buyers

02:47:06.740 --> 02:47:10.740
and sellers for tech goods and services on these kinds

02:47:10.740 --> 02:47:14.740
of marketplaces. And if you were going to set up

02:47:14.740 --> 02:47:18.740
something like that and pursue a business like that for yourself, the best

02:47:18.740 --> 02:47:22.740
thing to do would be to keep your overhead extremely low, market yourself

02:47:22.740 --> 02:47:26.740
on social platforms, take it slow, build up a

02:47:26.740 --> 02:47:30.740
client base, build up referrals. Small businesses never,

02:47:30.740 --> 02:47:34.740
never underestimate the importance of referrals as a small business

02:47:34.740 --> 02:47:38.740
and don't quit your day job immediately. The cool thing about

02:47:38.740 --> 02:47:42.740
tech support and tech jobs is most people don't

02:47:42.740 --> 02:47:46.740
expect service while you wait for

02:47:46.740 --> 02:47:50.740
service removal or reformatting a system or anything like that.

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

02:47:54.740 --> 02:47:58.740
any reason why you couldn't build something like that up.

02:47:58.740 --> 02:48:02.740
I think that it's, I mean I did make money when I was younger

02:48:02.740 --> 02:48:06.740
building machines for people. I think it's probably a little more

02:48:06.740 --> 02:48:10.740
challenging these days. There's really not a lot of margin in the

02:48:10.740 --> 02:48:14.740
just like piece together parts and build a PC

02:48:14.740 --> 02:48:18.740
business, but there's also ways that you can be creative and help stretch

02:48:18.740 --> 02:48:22.740
a dollar for your clients. We ran into

02:48:22.740 --> 02:48:26.740
our builder codename, The Professional

02:48:26.740 --> 02:48:30.740
who had some interesting corners that they cut. They were very up front

02:48:30.740 --> 02:48:34.740
with us about it, but using like an engineering sample

02:48:34.740 --> 02:48:38.740
CPU, I wasn't a fan of the power supply they used, but using an engineering

02:48:38.740 --> 02:48:42.740
sample CPU and some other creative techniques, they managed to

02:48:42.740 --> 02:48:46.740
put together a very performant PC for the price.

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

02:48:50.740 --> 02:48:54.740
literally were doing it for fun and were not making any money on it.

02:48:54.740 --> 02:48:58.740
So I believe The Professional did end up outperforming the other person

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.

02:49:02.740 --> 02:49:06.740
So if you're creative, if you find

02:49:06.740 --> 02:49:10.740
good deals, there's

02:49:10.740 --> 02:49:14.740
a lot of good that can be done, helping people get a bargain.

02:49:14.740 --> 02:49:18.740
I came across a Reddit post, I think it was last week, where an elderly

02:49:18.740 --> 02:49:22.740
relative accidentally bought like a 12 year old

02:49:22.740 --> 02:49:26.740
computer for way too much money, way more than it was worth.

02:49:26.740 --> 02:49:30.740
I hate it when stuff like that happens. I hate it when stuff like that happens

02:49:30.740 --> 02:49:34.740
and I hate how preventable it is because I've been saying for years

02:49:34.740 --> 02:49:38.740
that that's a big problem that I have with this like

02:49:38.740 --> 02:49:42.740
i7 branding. Let's move away from any kind of

02:49:42.740 --> 02:49:44.740
meaningful specs. Don't worry, we're ultra now.

02:49:46.740 --> 02:49:50.740
I think it's just going to get more and more confusing as time goes on.

02:49:50.740 --> 02:49:54.740
And so what I was going to say was, I think there's a lot

02:49:54.740 --> 02:49:58.740
of room to do good by

02:49:58.740 --> 02:50:02.740
finding the bargains that are out there

02:50:02.740 --> 02:50:06.740
on, you know, older hardware that is still perfectly serviceable

02:50:06.740 --> 02:50:10.740
and keeping machines keeping machines

02:50:10.740 --> 02:50:14.740
on the battlefield or call of duty

02:50:14.740 --> 02:50:16.740
as it were.

02:50:18.740 --> 02:50:22.740
Alright Dan, hit me. In classic line of Sebastian fashion

02:50:22.740 --> 02:50:26.740
my painters messed up the plan to eggshell finish.

02:50:26.740 --> 02:50:30.740
What am I leaving on the table for having matte finish walls?

02:50:30.740 --> 02:50:34.740
Scrubbability. Eggshell basically just means

02:50:34.740 --> 02:50:38.740
there's a little bit more resin in the paint and it has a bit more

02:50:38.740 --> 02:50:42.740
of a glossy, durable finish.

02:50:42.740 --> 02:50:46.740
And so that means that when it comes time to wash it, you're less likely

02:50:46.740 --> 02:50:50.740
to leave marks that are going to look kind of stupid.

02:50:50.740 --> 02:50:54.740
It's not going to no indoor paint

02:50:54.740 --> 02:50:58.740
unless you're in like a I don't know, like a

02:50:58.740 --> 02:51:02.740
kitchen with a ton of moisture or something like that.

02:51:02.740 --> 02:51:06.740
So no indoor paint is likely to actually like

02:51:06.740 --> 02:51:10.740
flake off the wall unless you Unless you live in my house.

02:51:10.740 --> 02:51:14.740
What happens in your house? The previous owners did a terrible job

02:51:14.740 --> 02:51:18.740
with the paint and they put water based over top of oil

02:51:18.740 --> 02:51:22.740
based. That is a problem.

02:51:22.740 --> 02:51:26.740
And you don't worry, you can prevent that. All you got to go do is

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.

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

02:51:34.740 --> 02:51:38.740
and then you rub it in a discrete spot on the wall. I mean theoretically

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

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

02:51:46.740 --> 02:51:50.740
oil based and you just make sure that you paint on whatever matches

02:51:50.740 --> 02:51:54.740
what was already there if you want the best chance of adhesion. So in general

02:51:54.740 --> 02:51:58.740
indoors, there's not much risk of like the elements causing your paint to break down.

02:51:58.740 --> 02:52:02.740
But it just means that the nice

02:52:02.740 --> 02:52:06.740
finish won't last for very long. Matt will look better for like

02:52:06.740 --> 02:52:10.740
45 minutes. And then after that, it will look worse.

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.

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

02:52:18.740 --> 02:52:22.740
Matt hides imperfections much better. Can you paint in a previous life?

02:52:22.740 --> 02:52:26.740
I had to paint my house. Oh, okay.

02:52:26.740 --> 02:52:30.740
Let me get covered in spit. Sorry

02:52:30.740 --> 02:52:34.740
my watch was talking to me. So one of the other reasons for the ceiling

02:52:34.740 --> 02:52:38.740
is they have these long uninterrupted

02:52:38.740 --> 02:52:42.740
spaces and it's really hard to apply drywall perfectly.

02:52:42.740 --> 02:52:46.740
That's one of the reasons that stipple or popcorn ceiling exists

02:52:46.740 --> 02:52:50.740
is because it helps to mask any errors in the ceiling drywalling.

02:52:50.740 --> 02:52:54.740
But what also helps mask it is Matt paint is far less likely

02:52:54.740 --> 02:52:58.740
to draw the eye to a bump or imperfection.

02:52:58.740 --> 02:53:02.740
What is going on right now? Wait, who put this in here?

02:53:02.740 --> 02:53:06.740
Whoever pre-wired this put the power supply end at the top.

02:53:06.740 --> 02:53:10.740
I was wondering why this 8-pin wasn't going in.

02:53:10.740 --> 02:53:14.740
Amateurs. Alright, that's fine.

02:53:16.740 --> 02:53:20.740
In fairness to them it has been

02:53:20.740 --> 02:53:24.740
overall helpful to have a lot of things pre-applied.

02:53:24.740 --> 02:53:28.740
Dan, hit me with a merge message. Sure thing.

02:53:28.740 --> 02:53:32.740
Just swapped over to an AMD system. Does AMD take advantage of dual channel memory?

02:53:32.740 --> 02:53:36.740
Thinking of swapping out my B450 Mark II for one with four RAM slots

02:53:36.740 --> 02:53:40.740
but if it's not going to make a big difference I'll skip.

02:53:40.740 --> 02:53:44.740
So your two slots are already dual channel.

02:53:44.740 --> 02:53:48.740
Your four slots is just going to allow you

02:53:48.740 --> 02:53:52.740
to put two dims

02:53:52.740 --> 02:53:56.740
sorry cable tie up

02:53:56.740 --> 02:54:00.740
is going to allow you to do two dims per one of your channels.

02:54:00.740 --> 02:54:04.740
AMD does support two dims per channel on their consumer platforms

02:54:04.740 --> 02:54:08.740
but not at the same speed as if you only run one dim per channel.

02:54:08.740 --> 02:54:12.740
So I would say

02:54:12.740 --> 02:54:16.740
personally I would prefer to just

02:54:16.740 --> 02:54:20.740
use one dim per channel on modern platform because

02:54:20.740 --> 02:54:24.740
the speed difference is something that is probably going to be

02:54:24.740 --> 02:54:28.740
more noticeable than the difference of having more memory

02:54:28.740 --> 02:54:32.740
unless you know that you absolutely need more memory in which case

02:54:32.740 --> 02:54:36.740
having more memory is more better. So basically

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

02:54:40.740 --> 02:54:44.740
probably you aren't going to get a performance benefit from it anyway.

02:54:44.740 --> 02:54:48.740
We've only got two minutes left

02:54:48.740 --> 02:54:52.740
because you started drilling me on archery.

02:54:52.740 --> 02:54:56.740
Well you didn't have to answer

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.

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.

02:55:04.740 --> 02:55:08.740
Is this GPU in? No. I had to restart my motherboard

02:55:08.740 --> 02:55:12.740
because I cross-threaded a screw. Oh no!

02:55:12.740 --> 02:55:16.740
I think we're pretty close there Jordan. Mr. He's been on task.

02:55:18.740 --> 02:55:22.740
Man! I'm just polite okay. There's so much RGB in here.

02:55:22.740 --> 02:55:26.740
I don't want to deal with this. What even is all of this?

02:55:26.740 --> 02:55:28.740
Welcome to Thermaltake.

02:55:30.740 --> 02:55:34.740
I don't want RGB. I just want an easy build.

02:55:34.740 --> 02:55:36.740
Why is edition? Don't plug it in.

02:55:38.740 --> 02:55:42.740
That's what we did for Brad's computer. It was too bright.

02:55:42.740 --> 02:55:46.740
I'm going to plug it in. I thought he liked the RGB.

02:55:46.740 --> 02:55:50.740
I plugged in his EK fans and they were on like rainbow mode the entire time.

02:55:50.740 --> 02:55:54.740
Oh no! I didn't set to orange. I'll pass on this. Yeah, probably.

02:55:54.740 --> 02:55:58.740
Yeah. I don't know.

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.

02:56:02.740 --> 02:56:06.740
Sure. Hi DLM. I work at media marked

02:56:06.740 --> 02:56:10.740
the best buy of Europe. Why do you think these big box

02:56:10.740 --> 02:56:14.740
tech shops don't sell many individual PC parts? My store basically only

02:56:14.740 --> 02:56:16.740
sells SSDs and thermal paste.

02:56:20.740 --> 02:56:24.740
Yeah, I know the answer to that. There's no margin in it.

02:56:24.740 --> 02:56:28.740
Finished systems, you're going to be supported not just

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

02:56:32.740 --> 02:56:36.740
SPA or SPF or MDF programs that are attached

02:56:36.740 --> 02:56:40.740
to them. So that's where you're actually making money

02:56:40.740 --> 02:56:44.740
in the PC industry is through marketing programs when you're a large retailer.

02:56:44.740 --> 02:56:48.740
And on a motherboard you might make

02:56:48.740 --> 02:56:52.740
8 or 9 points, 10 points on a CPU

02:56:52.740 --> 02:56:56.740
like especially a popular high run rate model

02:56:56.740 --> 02:57:00.740
you're maybe making like 5 points. I mean Micro Center famously sells

02:57:00.740 --> 02:57:04.740
so many of their CPUs at a loss, right?

02:57:04.740 --> 02:57:08.740
So a lot of retailers just kind of look at that industry

02:57:08.740 --> 02:57:12.740
and they kind of go, why? Like

02:57:12.740 --> 02:57:16.740
why am I bothering with this when I can sell I can sell TVs

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

02:57:20.740 --> 02:57:24.740
I can sell laptops, I can sell

02:57:24.740 --> 02:57:28.740
a lot of categories have really

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.

02:57:32.740 --> 02:57:36.740
The point is just there's other there's other categories that

02:57:36.740 --> 02:57:40.740
at least have some profit left in them and PC parts is not

02:57:40.740 --> 02:57:44.740
not a lucrative not a lucrative business

02:57:44.740 --> 02:57:48.740
officially behind your next challenger is here

02:57:48.740 --> 02:57:52.740
my next challenger is here okay that's fine

02:57:52.740 --> 02:57:56.740
I am close I am a lot closer than it

02:57:56.740 --> 02:58:00.740
probably looks or I am a lot farther than it probably looks

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

02:58:04.740 --> 02:58:08.740
to plug these cables into this power supply with this little room

02:58:08.740 --> 02:58:12.740
I am certainly going to do my best to do it

02:58:12.740 --> 02:58:16.740
oh you did the opposite way you fool

02:58:16.740 --> 02:58:20.740
I know I know

02:58:20.740 --> 02:58:24.740
I did not do a very smart thing here oh no

02:58:24.740 --> 02:58:28.740
oh no we are NVIDIA on this one

02:58:28.740 --> 02:58:32.740
oh no I have to get all the way to the other end

02:58:32.740 --> 02:58:36.740
also did whoever wire this up wire it backwards

02:58:36.740 --> 02:58:40.740
no they didn't okay I oh man can I do this

02:58:40.740 --> 02:58:44.740
can I plug one of these 12 pin connectors in

02:58:44.740 --> 02:58:46.740
all the way in there

02:58:48.740 --> 02:58:52.740
what is that sound is that showing up on the mic

02:58:52.740 --> 02:58:56.740
yes sounds like my neighbors are doing it

02:58:56.740 --> 02:59:00.740
during the ridiculous

02:59:00.740 --> 02:59:04.740
nope I cannot do this

02:59:04.740 --> 02:59:08.740
my small hands power does have limits I am going to have to

02:59:08.740 --> 02:59:12.740
undo this power supply and plug in the modular cables and put it back in

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

02:59:16.740 --> 02:59:20.740
he's got to re-set because it's Intel 3

02:59:20.740 --> 02:59:24.740
yeah this is a very different system with different quarks

02:59:24.740 --> 02:59:28.740
one of four not five of eight

02:59:28.740 --> 02:59:32.740
has anyone at any point here figured out what our times are for the machines

02:59:32.740 --> 02:59:36.740
it is very important to me and I cannot stress this enough

02:59:36.740 --> 02:59:40.740
that we figure this out at some point literally no one

02:59:40.740 --> 02:59:44.740
no I need to know how much each system took as anyone

02:59:44.740 --> 02:59:48.740
watching at home able to go back and get

02:59:48.740 --> 02:59:52.740
get us the times the in and out times for each machine

02:59:52.740 --> 02:59:56.740
thank you it would mean so much to me

02:59:56.740 --> 03:00:00.740
the entire title of the video is building PCs until I get good at it

03:00:00.740 --> 03:00:04.740
but we can't quantify it until we know how long they take to build

03:00:04.740 --> 03:00:08.740
I will go through everything now thank you so much

03:00:08.740 --> 03:00:12.740
hey Dan maybe put that on pause could I get a merge message

03:00:12.740 --> 03:00:16.740
you don't have to complain about it then do you think PC electronics are

03:00:16.740 --> 03:00:20.740
sturdier than that of a decade or more ago example

03:00:20.740 --> 03:00:24.740
they had multiple g-force 8800 GTXs and the cards only ever

03:00:24.740 --> 03:00:28.740
lasted just past their warranty and even the motherboard suffered issues

03:00:28.740 --> 03:00:32.740
no not even a little bit

03:00:32.740 --> 03:00:36.740
man the tolerances are so tight these days

03:00:36.740 --> 03:00:40.740
things are things run hotter

03:00:40.740 --> 03:00:44.740
by spec these days I don't think I've seen

03:00:44.740 --> 03:00:48.740
I don't think I've seen anything to indicate that the electronics

03:00:48.740 --> 03:00:52.740
manufactured today are more robust

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

03:00:56.740 --> 03:01:00.740
to electrolytic capacitors that would be a big problem

03:01:00.740 --> 03:01:04.740
for the longevity of our electronics but I think all other things being

03:01:04.740 --> 03:01:08.740
equal man like John you've probably

03:01:08.740 --> 03:01:12.740
dug a PCB out of some

03:01:12.740 --> 03:01:16.740
radio from the 1970s you look at the size of the traces

03:01:16.740 --> 03:01:20.740
on those boards they couldn't they couldn't fail

03:01:20.740 --> 03:01:24.740
like it's they were built like tanks except for they were

03:01:24.740 --> 03:01:28.740
very terrible tanks okay I've got some times

03:01:28.740 --> 03:01:32.740
yeah so we have great tanks that are

03:01:32.740 --> 03:01:36.740
finicky as all heck these days I guess if that's if we're continuing

03:01:36.740 --> 03:01:40.740
John's analogies thanks flowplane chat I've got times for you Linus

03:01:40.740 --> 03:01:44.740
we've got times okay what are our times

03:01:44.740 --> 03:01:47.740
PC 1 37 and a half minutes okay PC 2

03:01:47.740 --> 03:01:50.740
27 minutes PC 3 28 minutes

03:01:50.740 --> 03:01:53.740
PC 4 35 minutes

03:01:53.740 --> 03:01:57.740
really yeah oh wow I'm all over the place

03:01:57.740 --> 03:02:01.740
interesting where are we now Jordan like what is this one

03:02:01.740 --> 03:02:04.740
this is number something

03:02:04.740 --> 03:02:06.740
36 what's the timer say

03:02:07.740 --> 03:02:10.740
oh he's been building it for six minutes nope

03:02:10.740 --> 03:02:13.740
36 minutes it doesn't count up

03:02:13.740 --> 03:02:16.740
no oh it just resets immediately

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

03:02:20.740 --> 03:02:23.740
oh my goodness this is um cool I can keep track of that now

03:02:23.740 --> 03:02:27.740
okay sorry this is the most challenging build so far

03:02:27.740 --> 03:02:30.740
I am challenged right now

03:02:32.740 --> 03:02:36.740
okay I think

03:02:36.740 --> 03:02:39.740
I have built this computer

03:02:40.740 --> 03:02:42.740
I

03:02:43.740 --> 03:02:46.740
but will it post am almost certain

03:02:46.740 --> 03:02:49.740
that the RGB is not hooked up

03:02:49.740 --> 03:02:53.740
correctly dang it

03:02:53.740 --> 03:02:57.740
no I don't think they wired together all the RGB for us John

03:02:57.740 --> 03:03:01.740
mine looked pretty clean I mean

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

03:03:06.740 --> 03:03:10.740
oh god these are those stupid ones that you have to bend off

03:03:10.740 --> 03:03:15.740
what the graphics card area

03:03:15.740 --> 03:03:19.740
oh yes

03:03:19.740 --> 03:03:23.740
the other case I don't want to be down too much on the case

03:03:23.740 --> 03:03:26.740
because they generously provided it for the stream

03:03:26.740 --> 03:03:29.740
and it's for charity which is really good

03:03:29.740 --> 03:03:32.740
but I

03:03:32.740 --> 03:03:36.740
will say that I appreciated

03:03:36.740 --> 03:03:39.740
some of the nice tabs

03:03:39.740 --> 03:03:42.740
that our other case had

03:03:42.740 --> 03:03:45.740
okay let's see

03:03:45.740 --> 03:03:49.740
let's see if my system works oh after I put a GPU in it

03:03:49.740 --> 03:03:53.740
dang, dang, nab it these can be a little scary

03:03:53.740 --> 03:03:57.740
I think for my second oh no this is nice this motherboard

03:03:57.740 --> 03:04:01.740
has this area of the PCB quite clear but if you look right here

03:04:01.740 --> 03:04:05.740
there's some surface mount components here and when you bend these out

03:04:05.740 --> 03:04:09.740
you can knock these off don't ask me how I know

03:04:09.740 --> 03:04:13.740
alright what do we got for GPUs here I got an RTX 4070 Super

03:04:13.740 --> 03:04:16.740
oh that's nice to see mine's white

03:04:16.740 --> 03:04:20.740
alright we've gone well your doesn't match

03:04:20.740 --> 03:04:24.740
the visual aesthetic there but hey that's fine

03:04:24.740 --> 03:04:27.740
it'll output frames just the same

03:04:27.740 --> 03:04:31.740
it is a bold choice or generate them it's just an absolute kill case

03:04:31.740 --> 03:04:35.740
that is the other option does the GPU generate the frames

03:04:35.740 --> 03:04:38.740
or is that done on the CPU and the GPU just purchases us

03:04:38.740 --> 03:04:41.740
I'm calling it the GPU I'm saying it's generated on the GPU

03:04:41.740 --> 03:04:44.740
alright Dan do you want to hit me with a merge message sure

03:04:44.740 --> 03:04:47.740
do you think the big difference between AMD and NVIDIA is just software

03:04:47.740 --> 03:04:51.740
CUDA, DLSS, etc or are NVIDIA GPUs better even

03:04:51.740 --> 03:04:55.740
without those things taken into account if anything I would say that

03:04:55.740 --> 03:04:58.740
price for price AMD GPUs are

03:04:58.740 --> 03:05:02.740
better a lot of

03:05:02.740 --> 03:05:06.740
a lot of the engineering of a GPU these days

03:05:06.740 --> 03:05:10.740
is pretty well understood those folks at both team red and team green

03:05:10.740 --> 03:05:14.740
have been doing things for a very very very long time

03:05:16.740 --> 03:05:20.740
and I think that we have seen generation by generation

03:05:20.740 --> 03:05:24.740
that on paper AMD will have a lot

03:05:24.740 --> 03:05:28.740
more performance in theory

03:05:28.740 --> 03:05:32.740
but NVIDIA finds a way to

03:05:32.740 --> 03:05:36.740
be very very competitive in terms of real world performance

03:05:36.740 --> 03:05:40.740
it's also gotten extremely complicated to measure because

03:05:40.740 --> 03:05:44.740
now we can't just look at memory bandwidth

03:05:44.740 --> 03:05:48.740
and how many shaders it has or whatever else

03:05:48.740 --> 03:05:52.740
you can't just look at raw specs because especially NVIDIA

03:05:52.740 --> 03:05:56.740
has included like

03:05:56.740 --> 03:06:00.740
essentially assist

03:06:00.740 --> 03:06:04.740
co-processors on their GPUs that do things like

03:06:04.740 --> 03:06:08.740
help with AI accelerated upscaling so

03:06:08.740 --> 03:06:12.740
I would say AMD

03:06:12.740 --> 03:06:16.740
generally builds a stronger GPU for the price

03:06:16.740 --> 03:06:20.740
but not out of the goodness of their heart it's because

03:06:20.740 --> 03:06:24.740
in order to compete they kind of have to throw more

03:06:24.740 --> 03:06:28.740
at the problem would be my assessment

03:06:28.740 --> 03:06:32.740
let's see if we manage to build a functioning computer here any luck

03:06:32.740 --> 03:06:36.740
any dice oh my goodness

03:06:36.740 --> 03:06:40.740
am I I'm 10 minutes over time on this one

03:06:40.740 --> 03:06:44.740
yeah good gravy

03:06:44.740 --> 03:06:48.740
okay and I'm supposed to talk about LTT Store I think it's posted

03:06:48.740 --> 03:06:52.740
hey did it post 40

03:06:52.740 --> 03:06:56.740
40 minutes 30 seconds okay I have a new guest

03:06:56.740 --> 03:07:00.740
hey how's it going Tatiana from creator rear house wow you are making

03:07:00.740 --> 03:07:04.740
progress which is good no good job

03:07:04.740 --> 03:07:08.740
you're doing everything right so far so that's better than Dennis

03:07:08.740 --> 03:07:12.740
here's a mic for you oh she doesn't have a mic

03:07:12.740 --> 03:07:16.740
well okay cool we'll talk in a minute okay

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

03:07:20.740 --> 03:07:24.740
oh my god yes it's for our viewers yeah okay

03:07:24.740 --> 03:07:28.740
that makes sense we had our merch meeting this morning

03:07:28.740 --> 03:07:32.740
and I was like well you know like Mark for example

03:07:32.740 --> 03:07:36.740
you know showed up and like totally done up all nice

03:07:36.740 --> 03:07:40.740
and you know you ask but I

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

03:07:44.740 --> 03:07:48.740
my bounds so I just was like okay yeah her hair looks nice today

03:07:48.740 --> 03:07:52.740
I didn't say anything but this makes way more sense now

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

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

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

03:08:04.740 --> 03:08:08.740
yeah so I'm the raw materials product

03:08:08.740 --> 03:08:12.740
developer here at creator rear house so I work on a lot of fashion products

03:08:12.740 --> 03:08:16.740
to make sure that everything is tested and that we have excellent fabrics

03:08:16.740 --> 03:08:20.740
that are tried and true and stand the test of time sorry

03:08:20.740 --> 03:08:24.740
and sometimes I work on some engineering products and I also help around with photography

03:08:24.740 --> 03:08:28.740
and everything else in order to make creator rear house what it is

03:08:28.740 --> 03:08:32.740
so one of her first challenges that is now finally coming to market

03:08:32.740 --> 03:08:36.740
I think sometime in the next couple months

03:08:36.740 --> 03:08:40.740
yeah yeah was our mod mat

03:08:40.740 --> 03:08:44.740
so I I

03:08:44.740 --> 03:08:48.740
gave her a very difficult task I basically said

03:08:48.740 --> 03:08:52.740
yeah needs to be price competitive because I think one of the problems

03:08:52.740 --> 03:08:56.740
with the existing mod mats on the market is that they're so expensive that unless

03:08:56.740 --> 03:09:00.740
you're building computers regularly or commercially

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

03:09:04.740 --> 03:09:08.740
or building computers can't really absorb that much cost

03:09:08.740 --> 03:09:12.740
in the cost of their machine I don't think that really makes sense

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

03:09:16.740 --> 03:09:20.740
but do you remember all the things that I was like

03:09:20.740 --> 03:09:24.740
they need to be class leading let's see for fun because

03:09:24.740 --> 03:09:28.740
I'm having you do it because I don't remember well it had to be

03:09:28.740 --> 03:09:32.740
very easy to oh sorry it had to be very easy to clean

03:09:32.740 --> 03:09:36.740
it had to make sure that no screws would fall off

03:09:36.740 --> 03:09:40.740
so the tribology and the wear would be really good in order to capture

03:09:40.740 --> 03:09:44.740
that kind of friction you're gonna have to define words like tribology she always

03:09:44.740 --> 03:09:48.740
does this she just dropped some technical ass term in the middle

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

03:09:52.740 --> 03:09:56.740
of or really yeah explain oh okay um well it's

03:09:56.740 --> 03:10:00.740
the study of wear and friction okay so especially when you're talking about

03:10:00.740 --> 03:10:04.740
sorry for example bearings or when you're looking at gaskets and stuff

03:10:04.740 --> 03:10:08.740
you want to make sure that there's enough lubricant so wear means it's that

03:10:08.740 --> 03:10:12.740
the actual texture on it allows for more friction

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

03:10:16.740 --> 03:10:20.740
we had a adequate amount of friction applied and then looking at

03:10:20.740 --> 03:10:24.740
doing not only internal testing but also third-party testing

03:10:24.740 --> 03:10:28.740
I did a ton in regards to picking the blend of

03:10:28.740 --> 03:10:32.740
rubbers and even the fillers so it actually uses a

03:10:32.740 --> 03:10:36.740
conductive carbon black in order to make sure that the top

03:10:36.740 --> 03:10:40.740
is dissipated and that the bottom is conductive that's so cool

03:10:40.740 --> 03:10:44.740
I always forget that like a lot of the people we work with are nerds too

03:10:44.740 --> 03:10:48.740
and CW has some really cool specialties almost all of them

03:10:48.740 --> 03:10:52.740
I know it's awesome so cool it's just types of

03:10:52.740 --> 03:10:56.740
nerd to dumb it's great yeah we're very excited

03:10:56.740 --> 03:11:00.740
about this product she ended up hitting some stretch targets it is

03:11:00.740 --> 03:11:04.740
extremely burn resistant so you're still going to be able to

03:11:04.740 --> 03:11:08.740
market if you try really hard don't expect to be using a blowtorch

03:11:08.740 --> 03:11:12.740
over top of it and hitting it full blast and having it not mar at all

03:11:12.740 --> 03:11:16.740
or whatever the case may be but it is up there with any other

03:11:16.740 --> 03:11:20.740
any other product on the market in terms of heat resistance

03:11:20.740 --> 03:11:24.740
and we also managed to find an outstanding print

03:11:24.740 --> 03:11:28.740
process that gives it a really vibrant but still extremely

03:11:28.740 --> 03:11:32.740
clear clear print so that was

03:11:32.740 --> 03:11:36.740
that was one of Tatiana's early tasks that she has managed

03:11:36.740 --> 03:11:40.740
to bring all the way to market now it will be launching fairly soon

03:11:40.740 --> 03:11:44.740
and then there's another one that we're going to have to discuss

03:11:44.740 --> 03:11:48.740
because it wasn't nearly as much of a success and has been an ongoing

03:11:48.740 --> 03:11:52.740
pain point and actually has actually put some strain on our relationship

03:11:52.740 --> 03:11:56.740
because I asked Tatiana to solve once and for

03:11:56.740 --> 03:12:00.740
all the fact that we don't have socks and she promised

03:12:00.740 --> 03:12:04.740
do you remember that she was young and naive then

03:12:04.740 --> 03:12:08.740
yes I was she promised to find

03:12:08.740 --> 03:12:12.740
a sock blend and a sock what is it it's not a weave

03:12:12.740 --> 03:12:16.740
is it what's the technical the knit and a sock knit

03:12:16.740 --> 03:12:20.740
that would meet my exacting standards and the only reason

03:12:20.740 --> 03:12:24.740
I actually bring it up is because I think we're finally

03:12:24.740 --> 03:12:28.740
getting close hopefully how many

03:12:28.740 --> 03:12:32.740
samples have you have you brought to

03:12:32.740 --> 03:12:36.740
my god a ridiculous amount of samples

03:12:36.740 --> 03:12:40.740
ridiculous amount of samples but I don't ask

03:12:40.740 --> 03:12:44.740
for much I ask for comfort durability breathability

03:12:44.740 --> 03:12:48.740
quick drying I want it to look nice

03:12:48.740 --> 03:12:52.740
I mean really affordable

03:12:52.740 --> 03:12:56.740
yeah yeah right that's what everyone wants

03:12:56.740 --> 03:13:00.740
I'm asking for no more than what our customer wants

03:13:00.740 --> 03:13:04.740
which is the world at a good price

03:13:04.740 --> 03:13:08.740
oh man yeah no it's kind of wild

03:13:08.740 --> 03:13:12.740
the different rabbit holes that you've ended up okay give me

03:13:12.740 --> 03:13:16.740
another rabbit hole that you ended up down during your time here

03:13:16.740 --> 03:13:20.740
that you did not expect that I did not expect

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

03:13:24.740 --> 03:13:28.740
the different changing materials that we do such as

03:13:28.740 --> 03:13:32.740
we're doing some that change when you apply water to it

03:13:32.740 --> 03:13:36.740
and it reveals something or even some heat changing

03:13:36.740 --> 03:13:40.740
one so when you touch it it'll actually phase change essentially

03:13:40.740 --> 03:13:44.740
into a different color I know okay but

03:13:44.740 --> 03:13:48.740
Nick it wasn't me it was not

03:13:48.740 --> 03:13:52.740
me for a change hey you know what I did talk about

03:13:52.740 --> 03:13:56.740
the zip-off shorts that I was like oh would anyone

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

03:14:00.740 --> 03:14:04.740
everyone in the comments wanted it so I got schooled a little bit

03:14:04.740 --> 03:14:08.740
and it might be coming out soon so you know

03:14:08.740 --> 03:14:12.740
seriously gonna do zip-off shorts that would be amazing I actually

03:14:12.740 --> 03:14:16.740
love those they're so practical but what do you do with the legs

03:14:16.740 --> 03:14:20.740
are you doing mix like different color ways or do you do mix and match

03:14:20.740 --> 03:14:24.740
okay I revealed so much already I gotta stop

03:14:26.740 --> 03:14:30.740
I should at least clarify what she's talking about with the

03:14:30.740 --> 03:14:34.740
the water reveal so I'm

03:14:34.740 --> 03:14:38.740
personally extremely excited about this one I mean

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

03:14:42.740 --> 03:14:46.740
let's hear it and I was like it was either that or

03:14:46.740 --> 03:14:50.740
something along those lines it's something so cool

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

03:14:54.740 --> 03:14:58.740
wet it like reveals a hidden picture essentially

03:14:58.740 --> 03:15:02.740
so how does that work so essentially it's a

03:15:02.740 --> 03:15:06.740
clear resist that's applied onto the fabric so therefore wherever

03:15:06.740 --> 03:15:10.740
the resist is it's going to not

03:15:10.740 --> 03:15:14.740
wet or absorb the into the fabric thus

03:15:14.740 --> 03:15:18.740
not changing the color therefore you're going to see the print

03:15:18.740 --> 03:15:22.740
when the parts do get wet and the other parts resist it

03:15:22.740 --> 03:15:26.740
hopefully that makes sense I think that's a good explanation

03:15:26.740 --> 03:15:30.740
what I don't understand necessarily is

03:15:30.740 --> 03:15:34.740
oh that like wouldn't the

03:15:34.740 --> 03:15:38.740
wouldn't the water creep in from the side like under the resist

03:15:38.740 --> 03:15:42.740
or does the resist soak into the fabric so that it just

03:15:42.740 --> 03:15:46.740
um well resists essentially okay

03:15:46.740 --> 03:15:50.740
so that's how it works anyway we're doing a bathing suit yes

03:15:50.740 --> 03:15:54.740
and it is so cool because

03:15:54.740 --> 03:15:58.740
when it gets wet so it just looks like a solid color

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

03:16:02.740 --> 03:16:06.740
wet what did we settle on for the pattern do you remember

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

03:16:10.740 --> 03:16:12.740
to reveal but

03:16:14.740 --> 03:16:18.740
you are officially the leatiest team member now

03:16:18.740 --> 03:16:22.740
jeez I can't you know what just go for it do you remember

03:16:22.740 --> 03:16:26.740
what either of them are because it actually is escaping me right of course the

03:16:26.740 --> 03:16:30.740
the redisaurus and the circuit print okay that's right okay so we're going to

03:16:30.740 --> 03:16:34.740
have we're going to have a common version of the swim trunks

03:16:34.740 --> 03:16:38.740
and then we're also going to have a like a special like a shiny

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

03:16:42.740 --> 03:16:46.740
trunks and you will either get like a circuit inspired print

03:16:46.740 --> 03:16:50.740
kind of like our old like water cooling inspired

03:16:50.740 --> 03:16:54.740
print that we had on our old swim shorts or is it

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

03:16:58.740 --> 03:17:02.740
but there are some odds 5% is it 5% nice

03:17:02.740 --> 03:17:06.740
okay so there's a 5% chance that when they get

03:17:06.740 --> 03:17:10.740
wet they will instead reveal bread sources

03:17:10.740 --> 03:17:14.740
so so excited about that product and then

03:17:14.740 --> 03:17:18.740
the the temperature change one is like

03:17:18.740 --> 03:17:22.740
it's like I wouldn't describe it as a puffy jacket

03:17:22.740 --> 03:17:26.740
it is a puffy jacket it's a little puffy but it's not like

03:17:26.740 --> 03:17:30.740
like a puffer jacket I don't think kind of how would you describe

03:17:30.740 --> 03:17:34.740
it kind of is okay well I would say that

03:17:34.740 --> 03:17:38.740
it's not like your average down jacket

03:17:38.740 --> 03:17:42.740
but it is going to be a kind of like a coach's jacket

03:17:42.740 --> 03:17:46.740
so it's going to be a like a polyester fill

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

03:17:50.740 --> 03:17:54.740
the fall or spring months anyway the part

03:17:54.740 --> 03:17:58.740
that's really exciting about that one is what do you call like a

03:17:58.740 --> 03:18:02.740
thermochromic? yeah, thermochromic so we found a thermochromic material

03:18:02.740 --> 03:18:06.740
that initially they kind of tried to talk me out of

03:18:06.740 --> 03:18:10.740
but you were in my camp for this one right? oh yeah I love it

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

03:18:14.740 --> 03:18:18.740
was that it takes your body heat and it changes color

03:18:18.740 --> 03:18:22.740
but the challenge with that is that if you have any internal pocketing for instance

03:18:22.740 --> 03:18:26.740
you end up with more

03:18:26.740 --> 03:18:30.740
thermal insulation between your body and the jacket right

03:18:30.740 --> 03:18:34.740
because insulation is insulation it works both ways it's kind of

03:18:34.740 --> 03:18:38.740
doing what it's supposed to do if it keeps your body heat in

03:18:38.740 --> 03:18:42.740
away from the surface where it can be dissipated to the surrounding air

03:18:42.740 --> 03:18:46.740
so because anywhere with extra layers

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

03:18:50.740 --> 03:18:54.740
is not going to transfer heat as well and is going to end up kind of

03:18:54.740 --> 03:18:58.740
looking kind of patchy they kind of tried to talk me out of it

03:18:58.740 --> 03:19:02.740
and honestly I just think it adds to the coolness of the look

03:19:02.740 --> 03:19:06.740
it's very cool so essentially how it works is that

03:19:06.740 --> 03:19:10.740
once heat is applied the change structure

03:19:10.740 --> 03:19:14.740
becomes more flat thus allowing more

03:19:14.740 --> 03:19:18.740
light to pass through making it more transparent so then you can see the base color

03:19:18.740 --> 03:19:22.740
so cool so we're

03:19:22.740 --> 03:19:26.740
Tatiana has been a big part of us experimenting with

03:19:26.740 --> 03:19:30.740
like new materials in particular

03:19:30.740 --> 03:19:34.740
because that's kind of her bread and butter but she also does more

03:19:34.740 --> 03:19:38.740
just like run-of-the-mill stuff as well

03:19:38.740 --> 03:19:42.740
for instance we were working on a t-shirt that we're calling the Zuck

03:19:42.740 --> 03:19:46.740
and the reason is that it's modeled after the t-shirt

03:19:46.740 --> 03:19:50.740
that Mark Zuckerberg famously wore for years and years and years before he got a stylist

03:19:52.740 --> 03:19:56.740
and one of the things that's a big challenge is getting

03:19:56.740 --> 03:20:00.740
the hand feel right to match the kind of

03:20:00.740 --> 03:20:04.740
the quality and the the drape of a

03:20:04.740 --> 03:20:08.740
really expensive material because it legitimately is like he wears $400 shirts

03:20:08.740 --> 03:20:12.740
I don't think I think it could be done for less than $400

03:20:12.740 --> 03:20:16.740
which becomes Tatiana's problem

03:20:18.740 --> 03:20:22.740
so I forget where I was going with this right so one of the things that

03:20:22.740 --> 03:20:26.740
Tatiana did recently was cut up a $400 t-shirt

03:20:26.740 --> 03:20:30.740
in order to have the fabric tested

03:20:30.740 --> 03:20:34.740
because she's really struggling with this PC I'm sorry

03:20:34.740 --> 03:20:38.740
I wanted to ask I'm going to put your bracket

03:20:38.740 --> 03:20:42.740
on the right way and then this is the first time I'm doing this

03:20:42.740 --> 03:20:46.740
have you ever built a computer before? you are doing amazing

03:20:46.740 --> 03:20:50.740
I appreciate it you're probably lying

03:20:50.740 --> 03:20:54.740
you have the RAM in the correct slots you got the CPU in without busting anything

03:20:54.740 --> 03:20:58.740
as far as I can tell you have the correct standoffs

03:20:58.740 --> 03:21:02.740
the correct spacers for your CPU cooler mount

03:21:02.740 --> 03:21:06.740
you're actually doing outstanding all things considered

03:21:08.740 --> 03:21:12.740
you need some help obviously but all things considered

03:21:12.740 --> 03:21:16.740
this is great okay so you're going to want to tighten

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

03:21:20.740 --> 03:21:24.740
anyway the point is we're trying to

03:21:24.740 --> 03:21:28.740
match it she has this special little machine

03:21:28.740 --> 03:21:32.740
I guess it's technically a machine anything's a machine that does work

03:21:32.740 --> 03:21:36.740
so she has this special little machine that cuts like a perfect circle

03:21:36.740 --> 03:21:40.740
out of a garment or out of a fabric so that you can measure the exact

03:21:40.740 --> 03:21:44.740
weight of it which is in what like grams per

03:21:44.740 --> 03:21:48.740
square something or GSM cutter

03:21:48.740 --> 03:21:52.740
grams per square meter there you go so by finding that out

03:21:52.740 --> 03:21:56.740
we are basically able to oh

03:21:58.740 --> 03:22:02.740
this is whoops

03:22:02.740 --> 03:22:06.740
oh man this this machine is a lot harder to build

03:22:06.740 --> 03:22:10.740
in but I'm going to gosh darn it I'm going to do

03:22:10.740 --> 03:22:14.740
my best here let's take that off

03:22:14.740 --> 03:22:18.740
part of figuring out why something is good I wouldn't go as far as

03:22:18.740 --> 03:22:22.740
to say reverse engineering because we're not necessarily targeting

03:22:22.740 --> 03:22:26.740
the exact same composition or the exact same source because

03:22:26.740 --> 03:22:30.740
if we were to target the exact same source it would probably cost just as much

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

03:22:34.740 --> 03:22:38.740
Solatano I believe but I'm not quite sure but a small town in Italy

03:22:38.740 --> 03:22:42.740
where everyone is like it's a generational knitters

03:22:42.740 --> 03:22:46.740
and weavers and everything is able to be traced back however

03:22:46.740 --> 03:22:50.740
we are looking at the options that we do have and using other European mills

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

03:22:54.740 --> 03:22:58.740
reasonable price point for our consumers yeah there you go that thing

03:22:58.740 --> 03:23:02.740
that thing she said okay managed to

03:23:02.740 --> 03:23:06.740
get the eight pins plugged in which is going to save me some time later

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

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

03:23:14.740 --> 03:23:18.740
you know what I can do it

03:23:18.740 --> 03:23:22.740
I can do this I think Tatiana is going to do her best

03:23:22.740 --> 03:23:26.740
I'm going to do my best yes that is all

03:23:26.740 --> 03:23:30.740
that anyone can ask of you um

03:23:30.740 --> 03:23:34.740
kind of lost now can I help you yes please no problem

03:23:34.740 --> 03:23:38.740
you are going to want to go ahead and put some thermal goop on there

03:23:38.740 --> 03:23:42.740
let's see how she does let's see how she does

03:23:42.740 --> 03:23:46.740
because I think as part of designing or helping with the design of the mod mat

03:23:46.740 --> 03:23:50.740
she's probably had to look at like thermal goop patterns

03:23:50.740 --> 03:23:54.740
you know what that is a good guess okay that's a good enough guess

03:23:54.740 --> 03:23:58.740
that um whether what you did is necessary or not

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

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

03:24:06.740 --> 03:24:10.740
that's free did it I guess yep you know what that's uh

03:24:10.740 --> 03:24:14.740
totally valid and you're going to get away with one on that

03:24:14.740 --> 03:24:18.740
okay what I need to do because I'm actually trying to get

03:24:18.740 --> 03:24:22.740
this computer done in a shorter time than the last one I built

03:24:22.740 --> 03:24:26.740
is I need to pre run a couple of these things that don't fit through this gap

03:24:26.740 --> 03:24:30.740
once I put the power supply in so let's get our front panel audio in here

03:24:30.740 --> 03:24:34.740
Dan do you want to hit me with a merge message absolutely

03:24:34.740 --> 03:24:38.740
I just got a visitor here oh you have a visitor oh hey look

at LMG.gg I was supposed to say deals

03:26:10.740 --> 03:26:14.740
but I let's go

03:26:14.740 --> 03:26:18.740
alright help him buy hair

03:26:18.740 --> 03:26:22.740
wow can you send me to turkey?

03:26:22.740 --> 03:26:26.740
send you to turkey, is that a thing? no hair transplant

03:26:26.740 --> 03:26:30.740
they all go to turkey because it's cheaper

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

03:26:34.740 --> 03:26:38.740
you never seen that before? no that's like a thing

03:26:38.740 --> 03:26:42.740
I've never had to look into it I've never looked

03:26:42.740 --> 03:26:46.740
I don't care no I know

03:26:46.740 --> 03:26:50.740
this is getting so much worse obviously you don't care

03:26:50.740 --> 03:26:54.740
no no that's not what I meant

03:26:54.740 --> 03:26:58.740
keep the hole deeper oh my goodness

03:26:58.740 --> 03:27:02.740
okay Nick can I do something for you?

03:27:02.740 --> 03:27:06.740
are you visiting for a reason? can you check the call list here?

03:27:06.740 --> 03:27:10.740
oh you're next oh good okay well

03:27:10.740 --> 03:27:14.740
because Linus is taking so long on the computer sorry Nick

03:27:14.740 --> 03:27:18.740
you're gonna want to take this fan off and then you need to screw down

03:27:18.740 --> 03:27:22.740
through here to screw this to the plate there because right now it's just

03:27:22.740 --> 03:27:26.740
like that and also just it doesn't matter

03:27:26.740 --> 03:27:30.740
but it would mean a lot to me if you'd have the Noctua upright

03:27:30.740 --> 03:27:34.740
okay yeah no problem it doesn't matter it doesn't affect performance

03:27:34.740 --> 03:27:38.740
it's one of those things yeah

03:27:38.740 --> 03:27:42.740
just decide you please this punch if you could do that

03:27:42.740 --> 03:27:46.740
I should do a what now? leak some more stuff

03:27:46.740 --> 03:27:50.740
Tatiana leaked all the stuff yeah that's okay

03:27:50.740 --> 03:27:54.740
I'm gonna touch you on a tail oh wow

03:27:54.740 --> 03:27:58.740
for now we've done a lot of screwdrivers

03:27:58.740 --> 03:28:02.740
let's go oh man okay what else am I supposed to be doing

03:28:02.740 --> 03:28:06.740
do you have any other things for me or anything or like

03:28:06.740 --> 03:28:10.740
do we have a guessing game thing? we can guess some stuff

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

03:28:14.740 --> 03:28:18.740
why because you're so behind yes

03:28:18.740 --> 03:28:22.740
oh okay hi from Switzerland thanks for all of the great content

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

03:28:26.740 --> 03:28:30.740
why would they we share this love for tech

03:28:30.740 --> 03:28:34.740
thanks to y'all we wonder what your utility bills look like

03:28:36.740 --> 03:28:40.740
how do I say this without sounding completely

03:28:40.740 --> 03:28:44.740
like deranged levels of out of touch

03:28:44.740 --> 03:28:48.740
I have no idea I have not looked

03:28:48.740 --> 03:28:52.740
at a utility bill in my adult life I got a message Cito

03:28:52.740 --> 03:28:54.740
yeah Cito would know

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

03:29:00.740 --> 03:29:04.740
so I legitimately have never I've never so much as seen one

03:29:06.740 --> 03:29:10.740
I don't know probably not good

03:29:10.740 --> 03:29:14.740
because we have people who work from home

03:29:14.740 --> 03:29:18.740
and they cannot possibly be expected to

03:29:18.740 --> 03:29:22.740
like put their computer to sleep only when they need

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

03:29:26.740 --> 03:29:30.740
and stuff so basically all like 100 machines in this building

03:29:30.740 --> 03:29:34.740
are just on all the time

03:29:34.740 --> 03:29:38.740
just like our idle power consumption is probably ridiculous

03:29:38.740 --> 03:29:42.740
Cito is getting it for us yeah I don't know what to

03:29:42.740 --> 03:29:46.740
I don't know what to tell you guys other than that it's probably horrible

03:29:46.740 --> 03:29:50.740
and that is in spite of us being in a part of the world

03:29:50.740 --> 03:29:54.740
that has very very

03:29:54.740 --> 03:29:58.740
favorable energy costs I mean we've been calculating pi

03:29:58.740 --> 03:30:00.740
24-7

03:30:02.740 --> 03:30:06.740
don't worry about it we've been doing nothing

03:30:06.740 --> 03:30:10.740
to nobody there's no pi only cake

03:30:10.740 --> 03:30:14.740
any who let's change the subject really quick here Dan

03:30:14.740 --> 03:30:18.740
sorry which ones am I supposed to screw down oh yeah yeah yeah

03:30:18.740 --> 03:30:22.740
okay so you gotta start by taking that fan off okay sorry I feel so bad

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

03:30:26.740 --> 03:30:30.740
thank you okay so you pull this back here

03:30:30.740 --> 03:30:34.740
you weren't looking where you were pull this back here

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

03:30:38.740 --> 03:30:42.740
um I feel so bad no no you're doing great

03:30:42.740 --> 03:30:46.740
this is the more challenging of the two computers

03:30:46.740 --> 03:30:50.740
so you would have had probably an easier time if you'd done the other one

03:30:50.740 --> 03:30:54.740
they really threw you to the wolves on this one great I love it

03:30:54.740 --> 03:30:58.740
oh I okay there you go

03:30:58.740 --> 03:31:02.740
there you go no I'm kidding I'm kidding it's right

03:31:02.740 --> 03:31:06.740
no no it was right it was right I'm just being supremely unhelpful

03:31:06.740 --> 03:31:10.740
why are you doing this to me I don't know you probably

03:31:10.740 --> 03:31:14.740
had it coming for something let's look back in time for a second

03:31:14.740 --> 03:31:18.740
I always do probably something let me think

03:31:18.740 --> 03:31:22.740
well okay maybe maybe how you failed me for the last time

03:31:22.740 --> 03:31:26.740
commander when it comes to socks no I'm ill serious this though

03:31:26.740 --> 03:31:30.740
the latest sample is very promising very very promising

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

03:31:34.740 --> 03:31:38.740
couldn't do is shed really didn't ask for much

03:31:40.740 --> 03:31:44.740
tell us another cool project you've already leaked everything that's upcoming

03:31:44.740 --> 03:31:48.740
so what was something that you did in the past other than this

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

03:31:54.740 --> 03:31:58.740
oh yeah that hoodie is doing really well the super soft hoodie on the store

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

03:32:02.740 --> 03:32:06.740
so I mean I do everything in regards to testing

03:32:06.740 --> 03:32:10.740
to make sure that it has a really good dimensional stability wash

03:32:10.740 --> 03:32:14.740
I do everything in regards to color fastness to make sure that you don't see

03:32:14.740 --> 03:32:18.740
any color transfer when you wear it stuff like that

03:32:18.740 --> 03:32:22.740
even for a lot of the reorders making sure that it is relatively the same

03:32:22.740 --> 03:32:26.740
so a lot of the testing that I do also mimics is trying

03:32:26.740 --> 03:32:30.740
it's best to mimic the real world environments that it's in so

03:32:30.740 --> 03:32:34.740
pilling we do as much as we can while also being very very soft

03:32:34.740 --> 03:32:38.740
oh that's a fun one so I had you mimic

03:32:38.740 --> 03:32:42.740
the sound that I made when I first saw

03:32:44.740 --> 03:32:48.740
what was it I think the oh yeah the water color change

03:32:48.740 --> 03:32:52.740
materials can you tell us the sound you made when you saw

03:32:52.740 --> 03:32:56.740
the me get validated by Project Farm

03:32:56.740 --> 03:33:00.740
with his washing methodology for our t-shirt

03:33:00.740 --> 03:33:04.740
oh my god the whole fashion team we were all just like

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

03:33:08.740 --> 03:33:12.740
just randomly on a high heat and you were just like are you kidding me

03:33:14.740 --> 03:33:18.740
see I've told them for years

03:33:18.740 --> 03:33:22.740
one of the things that I'm always riding the fashion team about is

03:33:22.740 --> 03:33:26.740
what's shrink

03:33:26.740 --> 03:33:30.740
shrinkage dimensional stability to wash yeah and they're always

03:33:30.740 --> 03:33:34.740
like well it's not really a problem if people

03:33:34.740 --> 03:33:38.740
take care of their garments properly and I'm like they won't you have to

03:33:38.740 --> 03:33:42.740
understand our customer is not going to and so I'm always getting

03:33:42.740 --> 03:33:46.740
this push back on like well as long as we provide really clear

03:33:46.740 --> 03:33:50.740
as long as we provide really clear care instructions then it should be fine

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

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

03:33:58.740 --> 03:34:02.740
when Todd did his test and uploaded his video I immediately

03:34:02.740 --> 03:34:06.740
cc'd the entire fashion team and I was like

03:34:06.740 --> 03:34:10.740
see we have to be ready for that

03:34:10.740 --> 03:34:14.740
everything that we did led us up to this moment when we were the

03:34:14.740 --> 03:34:18.740
highest overall rated t-shirt in Todd's test and if we

03:34:18.740 --> 03:34:22.740
hadn't if we hadn't had our super low shrinkage

03:34:22.740 --> 03:34:26.740
we wouldn't have won it's true

03:34:26.740 --> 03:34:30.740
all right I've got a monthly power bill here for you

03:34:30.740 --> 03:34:34.740
oh no do you want to take a guess uh

03:34:34.740 --> 03:34:37.740
man I feel like this is going to be like Lucille

03:34:37.740 --> 03:34:40.740
Lucille Bluff guessing at the price of it

03:34:40.740 --> 03:34:44.740
how much could power cost 1.2 million dollars yeah um

03:34:44.740 --> 03:34:48.740
I honestly just have absolutely no idea I'm going to say

03:34:54.740 --> 03:34:58.740
$2,800 a month uh okay you gotta

03:34:58.740 --> 03:35:02.740
go to Dan go to Dan get the it's just under five grand

03:35:02.740 --> 03:35:06.740
what but that also includes gas what what do you mean

03:35:06.740 --> 03:35:10.740
it includes gas what gas for the shop

03:35:10.740 --> 03:35:14.740
for the shop what gas do they use what gas

03:35:14.740 --> 03:35:18.740
oh like natural gas oh we use almost no

03:35:18.740 --> 03:35:22.740
natural gas we have that one radiant tube left and we hardly ever

03:35:22.740 --> 03:35:26.740
we hardly ever touch it because it's loud um well it's not loud

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

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

03:35:34.740 --> 03:35:38.740
really well we're in BC so like well absolutely it is

03:35:38.740 --> 03:35:42.740
a place that has very very inexpensive power relative

03:35:42.740 --> 03:35:46.740
to most of the world but uh and we have a lot of power hungry stuff

03:35:46.740 --> 03:35:50.740
five grand a month

03:35:50.740 --> 03:35:54.740
huh that's like a whole employee if we just

03:35:54.740 --> 03:35:58.740
didn't use any electricity we could hire like an assistant for Tatiana think of it

03:35:58.740 --> 03:36:02.740
what do you think should we stop using electricity we'll just switch to paper

03:36:02.740 --> 03:36:06.740
and pencil candlelight oh god candlelight yeah I'm down

03:36:06.740 --> 03:36:10.740
could you find us the best candles that have the optimal like light throw to

03:36:10.740 --> 03:36:14.740
oh yeah we would be measuring the luminescence we would be doing all

03:36:14.740 --> 03:36:18.740
that oh of course and I got like a 5500 kelvin candle

03:36:18.740 --> 03:36:22.740
like Andrew Andrew would kill us can we do that

03:36:22.740 --> 03:36:26.740
yeah we need like a lighter blue candle otherwise the lighting

03:36:26.740 --> 03:36:30.740
for the cameras that we'll have to charge outside are gonna be like pretty bad

03:36:30.740 --> 03:36:34.740
um alright how do I not know about this

03:36:34.740 --> 03:36:38.740
two minute warning I guess it kind of makes sense

03:36:38.740 --> 03:36:42.740
because I didn't I never asked anybody um actually that's not true

03:36:42.740 --> 03:36:46.740
I have asked Yvonne before but she wasn't sure either

03:36:46.740 --> 03:36:50.740
it's it's been uh it's been on the accounting team to sort

03:36:50.740 --> 03:36:54.740
these things out for quite some time now huh

03:36:54.740 --> 03:36:58.740
alright don't think about it

03:36:58.740 --> 03:37:02.740
that's probably the safest thing realistically

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

03:37:06.740 --> 03:37:08.740
we're building for charity isn't that cool

03:37:10.740 --> 03:37:14.740
I won't be paying my power bills with them we're gonna be feeding

03:37:14.740 --> 03:37:18.740
the the the the people there we're gonna be donating we our plan

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

03:37:22.740 --> 03:37:26.740
yet um Jordan just told me the plan is

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

03:37:30.740 --> 03:37:34.740
okay let's go ahead and get my power supply plugged in jeez

03:37:34.740 --> 03:37:38.740
I'm trying I'm trying my best you are very trying no I

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

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

03:37:46.740 --> 03:37:50.740
the point the point is um

03:37:50.740 --> 03:37:54.740
okay one minute oh shoot um okay you need to turn this fan around

03:37:54.740 --> 03:37:58.740
the other I do okay uh yeah um yeah

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

03:38:02.740 --> 03:38:06.740
need to um put the metal bracket on the other way

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

03:38:10.740 --> 03:38:14.740
considering that you have have had only half an hour you have made

03:38:14.740 --> 03:38:18.740
excellent progress for a first time builder so what made you volunteer for

03:38:18.740 --> 03:38:22.740
this if you've never built a computer before I told Jordan I was like

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

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

03:38:30.740 --> 03:38:34.740
and I'm like I do not do very good things under pressure

03:38:34.740 --> 03:38:38.740
everyone in the comments is probably saying who is this girl and why does

03:38:38.740 --> 03:38:42.740
she not know anything I'm really sorry no no she knows lots of stuff just

03:38:42.740 --> 03:38:46.740
not about this you're doing better than Dennis and that's okay

03:38:46.740 --> 03:38:50.740
um yeah yeah you've gotten less done but you've also gotten

03:38:50.740 --> 03:38:54.740
less done incorrectly okay so like he got more done

03:38:54.740 --> 03:38:58.740
but a lot of it was wrong I would say I would say doing

03:38:58.740 --> 03:39:02.740
less right is better than doing more wrong so this way in general

03:39:02.740 --> 03:39:06.740
like it's I don't know

03:39:06.740 --> 03:39:10.740
yeah it's better to do it's better to do a little bit right

03:39:10.740 --> 03:39:14.740
okay there should be some hot glue in the box to just kind of

03:39:14.740 --> 03:39:18.740
hot glue okay what are we talking about

03:39:18.740 --> 03:39:22.740
was I supposed to need hot glue for something I have not used any hot glue

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

03:39:28.740 --> 03:39:32.740
that may be what you call a joke oh is joke

03:39:34.740 --> 03:39:38.740
End your own time by the way I am doing

03:39:38.740 --> 03:39:42.740
I am almost done where did I put my screws

03:39:42.740 --> 03:39:46.740
for this power supply there they are one two three four

03:39:46.740 --> 03:39:50.740
okay so what was um I guess you don't

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

03:39:54.740 --> 03:39:58.740
was 40 minutes and 30 seconds dude I'm gonna be so far under

03:39:58.740 --> 03:40:02.740
that on this one I got this okay it's time for

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

03:40:06.740 --> 03:40:10.740
oh boar head starts I really shouldn't have let myself fall behind

03:40:10.740 --> 03:40:14.740
at the very beginning that that was my mistake today

03:40:14.740 --> 03:40:18.740
to be fair I did delay us an hour

03:40:18.740 --> 03:40:22.740
you did what now I delayed us an hour well no I mean

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

03:40:26.740 --> 03:40:30.740
in which case bad damn um might have been his fault

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

03:40:34.740 --> 03:40:38.740
okay I think it was my fault that the rest of the company was down

03:40:38.740 --> 03:40:42.740
for about too long okay cool

03:40:44.740 --> 03:40:46.740
oh man

03:40:48.740 --> 03:40:52.740
this whole time I had this concept of that I would have my laptop for chat

03:40:52.740 --> 03:40:56.740
and then I accidentally knocked my laptop off a desk earlier and then I haven't

03:40:56.740 --> 03:41:00.740
had I haven't had any any chat I've had no idea what's going

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

03:41:04.740 --> 03:41:08.740
it's been still entertaining after three or so hours um

03:41:08.740 --> 03:41:12.740
tell Tatiana she's doing a great job oh my god who is this girl

03:41:12.740 --> 03:41:16.740
and why can't she be on more lol get wrecked Dennis

03:41:16.740 --> 03:41:20.740
she is on more you just have to subscribe to Floatplane Tatiana has actually had

03:41:20.740 --> 03:41:24.740
uh you did a couple exclusives I think on Floatplane

03:41:24.740 --> 03:41:28.740
what was the one you did by yourself the oh the backpack the mining

03:41:28.740 --> 03:41:32.740
mining backpack I've done I've also done a deep dive

03:41:32.740 --> 03:41:36.740
into how we test for materials so that one I had also done

03:41:36.740 --> 03:41:40.740
if anyone wants to also see me say that you have to follow the care instructions

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

03:41:44.740 --> 03:41:48.740
well okay suits yourself do but if you want the longevity

03:41:48.740 --> 03:41:50.740
longevity of your clothes you probably should

03:41:52.740 --> 03:41:56.740
so if you want to get lectured by Tatiana if that's your thing

03:41:56.740 --> 03:42:00.740
then feel free to subscribe to Floatplane you were also

03:42:00.740 --> 03:42:04.740
heavily involved in the one where we we all tried out

03:42:04.740 --> 03:42:08.740
and talked about the $400 Zuckerberg t-shirt yeah the Brinello

03:42:08.740 --> 03:42:12.740
Cuccinelli yeah and then also the teeth boots if you've seen

03:43:36.740 --> 03:43:40.740
the tightest GPU fit that I have ever seen

03:43:40.740 --> 03:43:44.740

03:43:54.740 --> 03:43:58.740
friction fits between this GPU

03:43:58.740 --> 03:44:00.740
and the fan here

03:44:02.740 --> 03:44:06.740

03:44:54.740 --> 03:44:58.740
yeah I think you wear higher shoes than me

03:44:58.740 --> 03:45:02.740
well in general I've seen some high shoes

03:45:02.740 --> 03:45:06.740
someone just turn this on I haven't screwed the GPU in yet

03:45:08.740 --> 03:45:10.740
I mean she's probably fine

03:45:12.740 --> 03:45:16.740
oh man okay sure

03:45:16.740 --> 03:45:20.740
jeez we have fun here

03:45:22.740 --> 03:45:26.740
when did that become a super toxic thing to say

03:45:26.740 --> 03:45:30.740
was it always dude I am

03:45:30.740 --> 03:45:34.740
number 6 wait no

03:45:34.740 --> 03:45:38.740
wait yeah yes it's kind of turning into a blur

03:45:38.740 --> 03:45:42.740
not gonna lie all my RGB on

03:45:42.740 --> 03:45:46.740
okay yeah that one was quite a bit faster 36 minutes 30 seconds

03:45:46.740 --> 03:45:50.740
36 minutes all right go go go go go go go

03:45:50.740 --> 03:45:54.740
yeah I tried nice job

03:45:54.740 --> 03:45:58.740
all right good stuff merch messages

03:45:58.740 --> 03:46:02.740
wait did you take my did you take this

03:46:02.740 --> 03:46:06.740
no I just moved it I just moved it

03:46:06.740 --> 03:46:10.740
okay I'm sorry no I was just wondering where my screw tray went

03:46:10.740 --> 03:46:14.740
I was using the power supply packaging as a screw tray anyway all right thanks Tatiana

03:46:14.740 --> 03:46:18.740
okay bye all right

03:46:18.740 --> 03:46:22.740
it's Nick what a big dog

03:46:22.740 --> 03:46:26.740
so I saw some speculation there was no way

03:46:26.740 --> 03:46:30.740
that I could actually have been cruel enough

03:46:30.740 --> 03:46:34.740
to blindside you with that secret shopping LTTstore.com

03:46:34.740 --> 03:46:38.740
video there was no way I could have

03:46:38.740 --> 03:46:42.740
possibly been that cruel all fake totally fake

03:46:42.740 --> 03:46:46.740
what would you what would you have to say to that

03:46:46.740 --> 03:46:50.740
accusation he's crueler than you know

03:46:50.740 --> 03:46:54.740
no it was not the way I wanted to spend

03:46:54.740 --> 03:46:58.740
what was that a Friday afternoon I will say

03:46:58.740 --> 03:47:02.740
so thanks for that I think it turned out

03:47:02.740 --> 03:47:06.740
okay it wasn't perfect I thought that

03:47:06.740 --> 03:47:10.740
I thought that we came out looking overall like we have

03:47:10.740 --> 03:47:14.740
our heart in the right place and like we are

03:47:14.740 --> 03:47:18.740
improving and like we are committed

03:47:18.740 --> 03:47:22.740
to almost an unhealthy degree to transparency

03:47:22.740 --> 03:47:26.740
yep I think that is a fair assessment

03:47:26.740 --> 03:47:30.740
and based on how sales are going for the store this Black Friday Cyber Monday

03:47:30.740 --> 03:47:34.740
I'd say people overall have pretty high faith

03:47:34.740 --> 03:47:38.740
in the team and the store I agree

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

03:47:42.740 --> 03:47:46.740
secret shopping my own store I think is the title or something

03:47:46.740 --> 03:47:50.740
along those lines secret shop my store

03:47:50.740 --> 03:47:54.740
you can tell that it's burned into his memory I do a lot of videos

03:47:54.740 --> 03:47:58.740
I don't know I forget some of them but the point is that

03:47:58.740 --> 03:48:02.740
Nick got brought on to set had no idea what was going on

03:48:02.740 --> 03:48:06.740
don't look at the script don't look at the teleprompter

03:48:06.740 --> 03:48:10.740
and watch his team

03:48:10.740 --> 03:48:14.740
get an honest third party review from a handful

03:48:14.740 --> 03:48:18.740
of our community members who I think

03:48:18.740 --> 03:48:22.740
really took the task very seriously

03:48:22.740 --> 03:48:26.740
I think so I think there was even some feedback where people were like

03:48:26.740 --> 03:48:30.740
oh this person was too harsh and it's like no that was like their job

03:48:30.740 --> 03:48:34.740
they were supposed to be harsh they were harsh

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

03:48:38.740 --> 03:48:42.740
we went out of our way to choose members of the community

03:48:42.740 --> 03:48:46.740
that would have a strong voice if we were anything other than

03:48:46.740 --> 03:48:50.740
completely honest and transparent and

03:48:50.740 --> 03:48:54.740
high integrity about the whole situation because we could have easily

03:48:54.740 --> 03:48:58.740
secret shopped our store by just hiring someone to secret shop it

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

03:49:02.740 --> 03:49:04.740
but it wouldn't have been nearly as entertaining

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

03:49:10.740 --> 03:49:14.740
he was like you know what this would be stressful

03:49:14.740 --> 03:49:18.740
but I'm just having fun watching you squirm and I was like cool

03:49:18.740 --> 03:49:22.740
that feels good it was fun

03:49:24.740 --> 03:49:28.740
well the thing is I knew about the concept

03:49:28.740 --> 03:49:32.740
but I didn't actually know any of the results either so I was sitting there

03:49:32.740 --> 03:49:36.740
like super stressed as well

03:49:36.740 --> 03:49:40.740
but his reactions were just so funny

03:49:42.740 --> 03:49:46.740
I couldn't help it and it was so good we have fun here

03:49:48.740 --> 03:49:52.740
alright Jordan what am I supposed to be doing am I supposed to guess anything

03:49:52.740 --> 03:49:56.740
are we playing any guessing games well yeah hit me you gotta interrupt

03:49:56.740 --> 03:50:00.740
and let me know I'm sitting here stalling for time half the time

03:50:00.740 --> 03:50:04.740
I I built the last one in 27 minutes

03:50:06.740 --> 03:50:10.740
alright here we go don't worry about it

03:50:10.740 --> 03:50:14.740
who's counting you asked me to count

03:50:14.740 --> 03:50:18.740
alright let's get in your way back machine here 2014-2015

03:50:18.740 --> 03:50:22.740
what number is this number 7 Dan

03:50:22.740 --> 03:50:26.740
should I throw it up bless sure

03:50:26.740 --> 03:50:30.740
oh well that's kind of an easy one guess what video that was

03:50:30.740 --> 03:50:34.740
that was our 4k gaming PC build guide

03:50:34.740 --> 03:50:38.740
so that would have been our top viewed video that year

03:50:38.740 --> 03:50:42.740
2.1 million what year was it

03:50:42.740 --> 03:50:46.740
I've already forgotten 14-15

03:50:46.740 --> 03:50:50.740
so do you think you made that thumbnail or do you think I made that thumbnail

03:50:50.740 --> 03:50:54.740
can you put it back up again let me see it was madeinpaint.net

03:50:54.740 --> 03:50:58.740
and we had like a standard process I believe I did that one

03:50:58.740 --> 03:51:02.740
yeah okay yeah I'm pretty sure I did that one we didn't have

03:51:02.740 --> 03:51:06.740
like any actual people who know how to use photoshop or anything

03:51:06.740 --> 03:51:10.740
that's just like there's this oh man there's this

03:51:10.740 --> 03:51:14.740
site something vandermote and something where you can download a drop shadow plugin

03:51:14.740 --> 03:51:18.740
for paint.net and I just had like a standard

03:51:18.740 --> 03:51:22.740
offset and standard blur and I would just put text

03:51:22.740 --> 03:51:26.740
on top of a screen grab from the video which was like kind of

03:51:26.740 --> 03:51:30.740
fine because by then Brandon was working here and doing nice B

03:51:30.740 --> 03:51:34.740
roll for our videos and that was it that was our thumbnail design

03:51:34.740 --> 03:51:38.740
we actually continued to use that for the WAN Show up until

03:51:38.740 --> 03:51:42.740
I guess a number of months back I actually remade

03:51:42.740 --> 03:51:46.740
this exact paint.net look in photoshop

03:51:46.740 --> 03:51:50.740
amazing so that it could stay consistent nice

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

03:51:54.740 --> 03:51:58.740
manually every single thumbnail and the reason the WAN Show

03:51:58.740 --> 03:52:02.740
was done like that up until basically now

03:52:02.740 --> 03:52:06.740
because we never decided on a title and thumbnail concept

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

03:52:10.740 --> 03:52:14.740
other than me to be in office until

03:52:14.740 --> 03:52:18.740
now we have a producer for the show finally

03:52:18.740 --> 03:52:22.740
so it had to be something that I could do and

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

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

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

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

03:52:38.740 --> 03:52:42.740
there would be probably a bigger problem if you ever had to do it

03:52:42.740 --> 03:52:46.740
yeah probably it could come up though

03:52:46.740 --> 03:52:50.740
you never know are you looking at my homework?

03:52:50.740 --> 03:52:54.740
are you cheating? when do you think the last time I built a PC was

03:52:54.740 --> 03:52:58.740
like myself probably your gaming PC

03:52:58.740 --> 03:53:02.740
so what was that? oh good lord hold on

03:53:02.740 --> 03:53:06.740
well the last gaming PC that I built

03:53:06.740 --> 03:53:10.740
the gaming PC I have now is a 39

03:53:10.740 --> 03:53:14.740
50 60x

03:53:14.740 --> 03:53:18.740
3900x and I didn't build it

03:53:18.740 --> 03:53:22.740
but before that you had a fourth or 16 I had

03:53:22.740 --> 03:53:26.740
a third gen Intel

03:53:26.740 --> 03:53:30.740
was that for you or did you build that? I think Luke built that

03:53:30.740 --> 03:53:34.740
and so I think the last time I built a PC from start to finish

03:53:34.740 --> 03:53:38.740
was like second gen Intel okay so

03:53:38.740 --> 03:53:42.740
then this will be a great test because for many years

03:53:42.740 --> 03:53:46.740
Nick had to as part of his job watch all of our videos

03:53:46.740 --> 03:53:50.740
because he would review them for things like if I said

03:53:50.740 --> 03:53:54.740
some kind of joke that was too far over the line or you know whatever else

03:53:54.740 --> 03:53:58.740
he would come and be like

03:53:58.740 --> 03:54:02.740
you shouldn't say that how dare you question my authority

03:54:02.740 --> 03:54:06.740
okay mom how dare you question my authority

03:54:06.740 --> 03:54:10.740
anyway sorry go on I'm interrupting

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

03:54:14.740 --> 03:54:18.740
probably not that 4k one I think that predates you

03:54:18.740 --> 03:54:22.740
but as someone who has watched basically all the build guides how useful are they

03:54:22.740 --> 03:54:26.740
will he be a PC building expert

03:54:26.740 --> 03:54:30.740
should we do another should I put my RAM in the right slot?

03:54:30.740 --> 03:54:34.740
sure it is amazing what a draw

03:54:34.740 --> 03:54:38.740
like 4k was as a keyword

03:54:38.740 --> 03:54:42.740
like if I did 4k gaming PC if I did 4k gaming

03:54:42.740 --> 03:54:46.740
PC today yeah so you mean like

03:54:46.740 --> 03:54:50.740
a gaming PC you know it's

03:54:50.740 --> 03:54:54.740
no one cares build guides man build guides

03:54:54.740 --> 03:54:58.740
every once in a while those videos will perform

03:54:58.740 --> 03:55:02.740
like pretty good like I think the first person view one that we did

03:55:02.740 --> 03:55:06.740
recently is finally picking up

03:55:06.740 --> 03:55:10.740
but it started out as like the worst performer

03:55:10.740 --> 03:55:14.740
that we'd uploaded in months it's man it's really tough even the

03:55:14.740 --> 03:55:18.740
the last guide you'll ever need series it's a series now I guess

03:55:18.740 --> 03:55:22.740
cause we did that second one man that

03:55:22.740 --> 03:55:24.740
when we uploaded the updated one

03:55:26.740 --> 03:55:30.740
like no one was watching it it's tough because

03:55:30.740 --> 03:55:34.740
somehow we've gotta make it so that every video

03:55:34.740 --> 03:55:38.740
or at least as many videos as possible are appealing both

03:55:38.740 --> 03:55:42.740
to the folks who have been watching us since

03:55:42.740 --> 03:55:46.740
those videos that we're showing you guys

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

03:55:50.740 --> 03:55:54.740
that is an extremely difficult line

03:55:54.740 --> 03:55:58.740
to straddle making it accessible to newcomers

03:55:58.740 --> 03:56:02.740
and also not completely boring

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

03:56:06.740 --> 03:56:10.740
basic PC tutorials and stuff it's just that

03:56:10.740 --> 03:56:14.740
people give us a really hard time when we do like

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

03:56:18.740 --> 03:56:22.740
some people have never built LEGO before okay

03:56:22.740 --> 03:56:26.740
you talk a lot huh LEGO bricks don't cost $4,000

03:56:26.740 --> 03:56:30.740
here's my job some of them do

03:56:30.740 --> 03:56:34.740
that's a whole kit just like one brick

03:56:34.740 --> 03:56:38.740
that's fair alright Jordan do you want to give us another one

03:56:38.740 --> 03:56:42.740
you ran into some shoutouts here oh shoutouts right

03:56:42.740 --> 03:56:46.740
we've sent over 8 kits of RAM for our builds

03:56:46.740 --> 03:56:50.740
here oh no I'll steal mine what am I looking at here

03:56:50.740 --> 03:56:54.740
these are DDR5 kits 5,600 mega transfers per second

03:56:54.740 --> 03:56:58.740
CL36 16GB 2 so these are 32GB kits

03:56:58.740 --> 03:57:02.740
for our Intel based systems over here big shout out to them

03:57:02.740 --> 03:57:06.740
and everyone else who provided parts for the stream today they're a big part

03:57:06.740 --> 03:57:10.740
of why we're able to contribute so much to the local food bank

03:57:10.740 --> 03:57:14.740
we're donating the proceeds from these systems too we've already sold all the systems

03:57:14.740 --> 03:57:18.740
so if you're hoping to buy one I'm afraid it is too late

03:57:18.740 --> 03:57:22.740
but huge thank you to everyone who did buy one of the systems

03:57:22.740 --> 03:57:26.740
and huge thank you to everyone who provided hardware for them so I'm shouting out

03:57:26.740 --> 03:57:30.740
Patriot and also CSonic CSonic you know that those guys are always

03:57:30.740 --> 03:57:34.740
in when we're doing something cool something wild

03:57:34.740 --> 03:57:38.740
and CSonic didn't hesitate to send over 16 of their focus

03:57:38.740 --> 03:57:42.740
DX750 power supply is 80 plus gold certified

03:57:42.740 --> 03:57:46.740
modular interface got all the modern connectors

03:57:46.740 --> 03:57:50.740
for modern GPUs be they AMD be they NVIDIA

03:57:50.740 --> 03:57:54.740
and a great foundation for any gaming system

03:57:54.740 --> 03:57:58.740
thank you CSonic for sending all of those over

03:57:58.740 --> 03:58:02.740
alright let me get this out of my way get this out of my way

03:58:02.740 --> 03:58:06.740
Jordan do you have any other stuff that I'm behind on

03:58:06.740 --> 03:58:10.740
alright let's go 2015 2016 top video

03:58:10.740 --> 03:58:14.740
top video you might even be able to remember these ones

03:58:14.740 --> 03:58:18.740
now we're getting more modern I think I know what 2017 was

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

03:58:22.740 --> 03:58:26.740
I'm gonna say it was a silent PC build guide

03:58:26.740 --> 03:58:30.740
I don't think this was silent Jordan this one's 8

03:58:30.740 --> 03:58:34.740
do I get to see a thumbnail? have another guess

03:58:34.740 --> 03:58:38.740
it's not silent it's extremely not silent

03:58:38.740 --> 03:58:42.740
there is a build involved though extremely not silent

03:58:42.740 --> 03:58:46.740
many monies lots of monies

03:58:46.740 --> 03:58:50.740
oh I think I know what it is wait are we already up to

03:58:50.740 --> 03:58:54.740
seven gamers? that can't be right no

03:58:54.740 --> 03:58:58.740
extremely not silent I think I know what it is

03:58:58.740 --> 03:59:02.740
is it the first compensator? no that was later

03:59:02.740 --> 03:59:06.740
maybe that's a bit hyperbolic oh okay

03:59:06.740 --> 03:59:10.740
it's not a silent build not silent build but it's a build

03:59:10.740 --> 03:59:14.740
it's a build dude I do not know our back

03:59:14.740 --> 03:59:18.740
catalog as well as I maybe thought that I did

03:59:18.740 --> 03:59:22.740
yeah show me a thumbnail you were right

03:59:22.740 --> 03:59:26.740
wait it was seven gamers I thought that was 2017

03:59:26.740 --> 03:59:30.740
it was really quiet I knew it was January

03:59:30.740 --> 03:59:34.740
the 30,000 dollar gaming PC

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

03:59:38.740 --> 03:59:42.740
in 24 hours it was the first one to do that

03:59:42.740 --> 03:59:46.740
and you know what's funny as soon as that video was done

03:59:46.740 --> 03:59:50.740
it had to be at CES so I had to drive

03:59:50.740 --> 03:59:54.740
I forgot about that I had to drive the

03:59:54.740 --> 03:59:58.740
expletive work vehicle

03:59:58.740 --> 04:00:02.740
the XL7 I forgot about that

04:00:02.740 --> 04:00:06.740
it was so bad do you remember when I almost died on the coca-cola

04:00:06.740 --> 04:00:10.740
because I took that thing up when my grandpa died

04:00:10.740 --> 04:00:14.740
it was like funeral and it was white out and the headlights were misaligned

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

04:00:18.740 --> 04:00:22.740
was that I could see the barrier so I was

04:00:22.740 --> 04:00:26.740
three and a half hours white knuckle on the expletive coca-cola highway

04:00:26.740 --> 04:00:30.740
not a good highway in the winter

04:00:30.740 --> 04:00:34.740
headlamps going this way just like

04:00:34.740 --> 04:00:38.740
anyway, that's another story I think that was the year after or something

04:00:38.740 --> 04:00:42.740
but this time around I had to drive that thing

04:00:42.740 --> 04:00:46.740
with the seven gamers 1CPU with all seven monitors

04:00:46.740 --> 04:00:50.740
which all barely, barely fit tetrastyle into that Suzuki

04:00:50.740 --> 04:00:54.740
down four and a half hours or something

04:00:54.740 --> 04:00:58.740
to the middle of nowhere, Washington

04:00:58.740 --> 04:01:02.740
to, do you remember who brought it to CES for us

04:01:02.740 --> 04:01:06.740
wait someone did us like a huge

04:01:06.740 --> 04:01:10.740
solid do you remember who it was Kingston

04:01:10.740 --> 04:01:14.740
they were the ones who exhibited it oh, no it was bobbin rod

04:01:14.740 --> 04:01:18.740
so I had to drive it down to bobbin rod because they were driving to Vegas

04:01:18.740 --> 04:01:22.740
BS mods so like two days before CES I drive this thing down to Washington

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

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

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?

04:01:34.740 --> 04:01:38.740
no, I got hassled on the way down because the guy was like

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

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

04:01:46.740 --> 04:01:50.740
and they somehow let me in so that was the thing

04:01:50.740 --> 04:01:54.740
I was very lucky, very many times so that was like a nine hour car trip

04:01:54.740 --> 04:01:58.740
why did it pull on you to do this again? I don't remember

04:01:58.740 --> 04:02:02.740
well, I was probably heading down to the show nobody else wanted to do it basically

04:02:02.740 --> 04:02:06.740
so I was like, alright should be fun

04:02:06.740 --> 04:02:10.740
that's just the stuff we did back in the day, man oh man

04:02:10.740 --> 04:02:14.740
I forgot about that stupid XL7 dude, what a

04:02:14.740 --> 04:02:18.740
so it was my parents SUV oh yeah, it was sketch

04:02:18.740 --> 04:02:22.740
it was a nice car at some point

04:02:22.740 --> 04:02:26.740
not when we had it it was not

04:02:26.740 --> 04:02:30.740
it was better than literally nothing which was what we had before that

04:02:30.740 --> 04:02:34.740
truly, it was better than what we had before do you remember how it hooked up

04:02:34.740 --> 04:02:38.740
to the running lights for our trailer that we had at the time?

04:02:38.740 --> 04:02:42.740
it just had that like yeah, just had that wire just like

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

04:02:46.740 --> 04:02:50.740
that it wouldn't have gone any more every time it was so bad

04:02:50.740 --> 04:02:54.740
I'm falling super behind we do things like so pro now

04:02:54.740 --> 04:02:58.740
2016-17 then 2016-2017

04:02:58.740 --> 04:03:02.740
I'm going to go with mineral, wait, no

04:03:02.740 --> 04:03:06.740
mineral oil PC was way before that that was 2015

04:03:06.740 --> 04:03:10.740
what is even time? I'm having a really hard time year's 2016-2017

04:03:10.740 --> 04:03:14.740
and I'll give you this, the video came out in August of 2017 in August

04:03:14.740 --> 04:03:18.740
2017, November to November yeah

04:03:20.740 --> 04:03:24.740
was it eight gamers? no, no that one didn't do that well

04:03:24.740 --> 04:03:28.740
really? that's why we haven't really continued the concept yeah, that's true

04:03:28.740 --> 04:03:32.740
this one got 5.6 million views in the first year was it the blowy matron?

04:03:32.740 --> 04:03:36.740
whoa no, this would

04:03:36.740 --> 04:03:40.740
this would have to be like a mega bang

04:03:40.740 --> 04:03:44.740
or video to do 5 million views why am I trying to like

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

04:03:48.740 --> 04:03:52.740
yeah, that one did pretty good but 5 million views in the first year

04:03:52.740 --> 04:03:56.740
2017 I don't even know

04:03:56.740 --> 04:04:00.740
I don't even know what it's a flat circle

04:04:00.740 --> 04:04:04.740
so number 9 then show me

04:04:04.740 --> 04:04:08.740
okay, what is it 16k gaming

04:04:08.740 --> 04:04:12.740
with all the monitors of course it was

04:04:12.740 --> 04:04:16.740
lol that is a

04:04:16.740 --> 04:04:20.740
banger thumbnail I don't even think it's that good of a video

04:04:20.740 --> 04:04:24.740
by today's standards it's kind of all over the place

04:04:24.740 --> 04:04:28.740
narratively it's not very information dense

04:04:28.740 --> 04:04:32.740
I'm not convinced that the whole higher and higher resolution

04:04:32.740 --> 04:04:36.740
gaming thing would have any legs today

04:04:36.740 --> 04:04:40.740
but yeah it's an absolute banger

04:04:40.740 --> 04:04:44.740
it goes to show you how the race to more k's

04:04:44.740 --> 04:04:48.740
mattered so much back then like people cared and were talking about it

04:04:48.740 --> 04:04:52.740
two of our top performer of the year videos

04:04:52.740 --> 04:04:56.740
have been gaming with some number of k's and in fact

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

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

04:05:04.740 --> 04:05:08.740
yeah the next year then

04:05:08.740 --> 04:05:12.740
is a build so 2017-18

04:05:12.740 --> 04:05:16.740
have we not kept up with these?

04:05:16.740 --> 04:05:20.740
oh my goodness next time just interrupt

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

04:05:24.740 --> 04:05:28.740
just talking yeah so 2017-18

04:05:28.740 --> 04:05:32.740
2017-2018 6.4 million views

04:05:32.740 --> 04:05:36.740
now we're getting into the modern era

04:05:36.740 --> 04:05:40.740
and I'll tell you it's a build it's a build

04:05:42.740 --> 04:05:46.740
this is tough because I um

04:05:46.740 --> 04:05:50.740
how many videos are we up to like total

04:05:50.740 --> 04:05:54.740
6000 or something? this is 10th year yet

04:05:54.740 --> 04:05:58.740
the number of times these days that I

04:05:58.740 --> 04:06:02.740
someone will send me a clip or a gif or a link to a video

04:06:02.740 --> 04:06:06.740
and I watch it and I go

04:06:06.740 --> 04:06:10.740
I have no recollection of this that's because we were sending you around the world

04:06:10.740 --> 04:06:14.740
like on a moment's notice dude I didn't sleep

04:06:14.740 --> 04:06:18.740
those were crazy years it's a miracle I can remember

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?

04:06:22.740 --> 04:06:26.740
I do I remember that very vividly

04:06:26.740 --> 04:06:30.740
I literally found out right as we were going to the airport

04:06:30.740 --> 04:06:34.740
at CES which is a very challenging week

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

04:06:38.740 --> 04:06:42.740
it was crazy I was basically walking dead during CES

04:06:42.740 --> 04:06:46.740
so I I got an offer from Ford

04:06:46.740 --> 04:06:50.740
to come do some sponsored content for them at the New York auto show

04:06:50.740 --> 04:06:54.740
I'm struggling with this fan what am I doing?

04:06:54.740 --> 04:06:58.740
I'm on the other way the other way

04:06:58.740 --> 04:07:02.740
yeah yeah okay and then you just stretch it

04:07:02.740 --> 04:07:06.740
and then there's ponder and over ponder and oh yeah yeah

04:07:06.740 --> 04:07:10.740
I'll just have that so they wanted me to come down there

04:07:10.740 --> 04:07:14.740
to go to New York and do some sponsored content

04:07:14.740 --> 04:07:18.740
and they go now and I kind of go

04:07:18.740 --> 04:07:22.740
what? so we waffled and waffled

04:07:22.740 --> 04:07:26.740
and things were tough back then basically

04:07:26.740 --> 04:07:30.740
every opportunity that came in I was looking at it going okay well how much salaries

04:07:30.740 --> 04:07:34.740
does it cover and it was just

04:07:34.740 --> 04:07:38.740
Instagram I think they didn't even post it

04:07:38.740 --> 04:07:42.740
no no that's a whole other thing we posted our stuff

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

04:07:46.740 --> 04:07:50.740
I was like are you sure you don't want a YouTube video or something

04:07:50.740 --> 04:07:54.740
no no Instagram so anyway

04:07:54.740 --> 04:07:58.740
we didn't even notice what I'm using oh chat noticed

04:07:58.740 --> 04:08:02.740
birch messages noticed we can talk a little bit later about how

04:08:02.740 --> 04:08:06.740
that is not happening yet you're in your last minute here Linus

04:08:06.740 --> 04:08:10.740
so maybe you don't have updates but it's like we're working on it

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

04:08:14.740 --> 04:08:18.740
and it turned out that the way the trip

04:08:18.740 --> 04:08:22.740
had to work was for me to

04:08:22.740 --> 04:08:26.740
and in Vancouver I ate one meal

04:08:26.740 --> 04:08:30.740
with my family and then I stayed

04:08:30.740 --> 04:08:34.740
at the airport for a couple hours and boarded my flight to New York

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

04:08:38.740 --> 04:08:42.740
it was so so stupid

04:08:42.740 --> 04:08:46.740
but hey I met hey you're welcome

04:08:46.740 --> 04:08:50.740
the video we're talking about is actually a travel video what?

04:08:50.740 --> 04:08:54.740
with that many views? 6.4 million in the first year

04:08:54.740 --> 04:08:58.740
traveling and building traveling and building

04:08:58.740 --> 04:09:02.740
was that strange parts vlog let's go

04:09:02.740 --> 04:09:06.740
strange parts vlog that was a banger

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

04:09:10.740 --> 04:09:14.740
I was over there for a thing for one plus and I arranged

04:09:14.740 --> 04:09:18.740
literally introduced myself to Scotty

04:09:18.740 --> 04:09:22.740
I had never interacted with before and only knew from talking about his

04:09:22.740 --> 04:09:26.740
wild iPhone experiments on the WAN Show so introduced myself to Scotty

04:09:26.740 --> 04:09:30.740
invited myself to do a collab with him we coordinated

04:09:30.740 --> 04:09:34.740
at time to get together and basically

04:09:34.740 --> 04:09:38.740
I came up with this concept for the build which was that I was gonna

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

04:09:42.740 --> 04:09:46.740
and then I got over there and I saw a lot of comments on the video

04:09:46.740 --> 04:09:50.740
like such a jerk to Scotty the truth is that I was just really stressed out

04:09:50.740 --> 04:09:54.740
because what I realized part way into the build

04:09:54.740 --> 04:09:58.740
was that there were no weird brands or anything it was just all the same stuff

04:09:58.740 --> 04:10:02.740
so I was just building a PC

04:10:02.740 --> 04:10:06.740
building a computer and it ended up taking all day

04:10:06.740 --> 04:10:10.740
because I wasted a bunch of time trying to find like a unique

04:10:10.740 --> 04:10:14.740
angle to the build or something and there ultimately wasn't one

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

04:10:18.740 --> 04:10:22.740
at night finishing building the computer because the mall

04:10:22.740 --> 04:10:26.740
was like closed I just don't want to screw it up

04:10:26.740 --> 04:10:30.740
whoops thanks um here

04:10:30.740 --> 04:10:34.740
anyway the point is yeah Scotty was

04:10:34.740 --> 04:10:38.740
an amazing host we had a lot of fun

04:10:38.740 --> 04:10:42.740
and we can't do this yet because there's no way that these 8 pins

04:10:42.740 --> 04:10:46.740
are going to get plugged in if you put it all the way in first

04:10:46.740 --> 04:10:50.740
it's better to do this now more you know

04:10:50.740 --> 04:10:54.740
yeah I was just super stressed because I really

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

04:10:58.740 --> 04:11:00.740
waste his time and not even like do a video together

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

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

04:11:10.740 --> 04:11:14.740
it's hilarious who can even tell sometimes

04:11:14.740 --> 04:11:18.740
what's going to resonate with people there was another collab I was supposed to do

04:11:18.740 --> 04:11:22.740
while I was over there that I am ultimately really glad that I didn't do

04:11:22.740 --> 04:11:26.740
but yeah Scotty the Scotty collab was pretty great

04:11:26.740 --> 04:11:30.740
a lot of fun well sort of fun it was fun when it was over

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

04:11:34.740 --> 04:11:38.740
about making that video oh I would plug in your

04:11:38.740 --> 04:11:42.740
sorry I would plug in your CPU cooler too alright where is it

04:11:42.740 --> 04:11:46.740
ouch sorry sometimes my elbow does that

04:11:46.740 --> 04:11:50.740
so your next one was not a build okay

04:11:50.740 --> 04:11:54.740
was this 2018-19 2018-19

04:11:54.740 --> 04:11:58.740
7.3 million views recency

04:11:58.740 --> 04:12:02.740
18-19 more of a review I would say

04:12:02.740 --> 04:12:06.740
a review that got 7 million views what kind of review gets 7 million views

04:12:06.740 --> 04:12:10.740
you tell me you made it I mean

04:12:10.740 --> 04:12:14.740
had to be a video right um

04:12:14.740 --> 04:12:18.740
had to be like some kind of like really like wacky product

04:12:18.740 --> 04:12:22.740
18 well so November 18 and November 19 were talking

04:12:22.740 --> 04:12:26.740
yes this was from December 2018

04:12:26.740 --> 04:12:30.740
December 2018 oh shoot

04:12:30.740 --> 04:12:34.740
review review

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

04:12:38.740 --> 04:12:42.740
oh sorry no let's not let him

04:12:42.740 --> 04:12:46.740
escape before he tells us more about the transparent screwdriver that's true yeah

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

04:12:50.740 --> 04:12:54.740
guess these is because I have been in 2080 tie

04:12:54.740 --> 04:12:58.740
that's the Walmart gaming pc Walmart gaming pc

04:12:58.740 --> 04:13:02.740
what's that that long ago end of 2018

04:13:02.740 --> 04:13:06.740
what you might be getting old

04:13:06.740 --> 04:13:10.740
oh man that was six years ago

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

04:13:14.740 --> 04:13:18.740
you're correct wish pc okay okay I'm back on

04:13:18.740 --> 04:13:22.740
what's the next one I'm back on track after the wish pc

04:13:22.740 --> 04:13:26.740
am I supposed to keep just leave it you can keep going until he's done

04:13:26.740 --> 04:13:30.740
and then you go over and build the next victim

04:13:32.740 --> 04:13:36.740
nope it's not happening no sneeze I guess I don't get a sneeze

04:13:36.740 --> 04:13:40.740
no sneeze for you was it ROG rig reboot

04:13:40.740 --> 04:13:44.740
no but it is like an upgrade kind of thing

04:13:44.740 --> 04:13:48.740
an upgrade was it the first extreme upgrade oh

04:13:48.740 --> 04:13:52.740
yeah and was it an Intel extreme upgrade yep

04:13:52.740 --> 04:13:56.740
Dennis yeah okay Dennis is Intel

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

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

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

04:14:08.740 --> 04:14:12.740
show us the screwdriver you were building with and explain yourself

04:14:12.740 --> 04:14:16.740
what's going on here sir this is our clear transparent

04:14:16.740 --> 04:14:20.740
screwdriver for LTTstore.com well I mean it's a lot of

04:14:20.740 --> 04:14:24.740
sunk dollars if we don't actually make it so we've had

04:14:24.740 --> 04:14:28.740
a lot of challenges making this clear plastic work

04:14:28.740 --> 04:14:32.740
we started with a different type of clear plastic got further in development and then realized

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

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

04:14:40.740 --> 04:14:44.740
to the drawing board and make it work we've had some small

04:14:44.740 --> 04:14:48.740
difficulties with getting it across the line I'm trying to even see where the imperfection

04:14:48.740 --> 04:14:52.740
here we go there it is so if you can zoom in on that Andy

04:14:52.740 --> 04:14:56.740
that little mark there is the reason

04:14:56.740 --> 04:15:00.740
that the clear screwdriver is not on the market today Kyle has another thing

04:15:00.740 --> 04:15:04.740
that he doesn't like about it too I can show them oh ok

04:15:04.740 --> 04:15:08.740
so basically we're having some challenges with the

04:15:08.740 --> 04:15:12.740
mold flow of the plastics within the molds that we use today because there

04:15:12.740 --> 04:15:16.740
are crossover molds between what we use in our regular ABS nylon

04:15:16.740 --> 04:15:20.740
blend for the black and all the other college of screwdrivers that we make

04:15:20.740 --> 04:15:24.740
as well as this clear and it's required quite a bit of

04:15:24.740 --> 04:15:28.740
mold development to actually make that work we are very very close

04:15:28.740 --> 04:15:32.740
that line is caused by the plastic separating and then coming together

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

04:15:36.740 --> 04:15:40.740
that seam whereas if it's total molten plastic it'll just meld together

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

04:15:44.740 --> 04:15:48.740
which is where the two two pass the plastic meet together

04:15:48.740 --> 04:15:52.740
small things but that's the level of detail we want to go to

04:15:52.740 --> 04:15:56.740
and that's the level of detail that we understand

04:15:56.740 --> 04:16:00.740
that our customers have come to

04:16:00.740 --> 04:16:04.740
expect from us for better or for worse and honestly

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

04:16:08.740 --> 04:16:12.740
probably mostly really like because we just look at it and we go like

04:16:12.740 --> 04:16:16.740
well if we can't do it great then we're just

04:16:16.740 --> 04:16:20.740
not going to do it we're getting better at our product development timelines

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

04:16:24.740 --> 04:16:28.740
and I think as you come into 2025, 2026

04:16:28.740 --> 04:16:32.740
especially in the 2027 it's going to be like a very well-oiled machine

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

04:16:36.740 --> 04:16:40.740
like for a while we were a water bottle company and then we were

04:16:40.740 --> 04:16:44.740
a desk pad company first we were a t-shirt company

04:16:44.740 --> 04:16:48.740
and then we weren't sure what we were doing and then we basically took

04:16:48.740 --> 04:16:52.740
more, bed it on black and bed it hard on

04:16:52.740 --> 04:16:56.740
on the screwdriver and the backpack and then we had all this revenue

04:16:56.740 --> 04:17:00.740
like we had an incredible year

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

04:17:06.740 --> 04:17:10.740
and then we were just kind of trying to figure out, yeah trying to figure out

04:17:10.740 --> 04:17:14.740
okay well like no seriously okay we can't just we can't just ride these

04:17:14.740 --> 04:17:18.740
products forever how do we what's the next step?

04:17:18.740 --> 04:17:22.740
Investing in new people, investing in new processes investing in new equipment

04:17:22.740 --> 04:17:26.740
like there's a whole reason that we have let's call it low six figures

04:17:26.740 --> 04:17:30.740
of prototyping equipment that the engineering team uses between

04:17:30.740 --> 04:17:34.740
SLS printers, SLA printers ton of standard printers

04:17:34.740 --> 04:17:38.740
don't forget about old Tatiana's toys she was just here

04:17:38.740 --> 04:17:42.740
we have our own injection molder that we are learning to use we have

04:17:42.740 --> 04:17:46.740
what is it called? MMM like the super precise

04:17:46.740 --> 04:17:50.740
measurement tool that we bought that thing is super cool

04:17:50.740 --> 04:17:54.740
we should probably do another video about maybe a Floatplane exclusive

04:17:54.740 --> 04:17:58.740
yeah but yeah we have a lot of really cool stuff

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

04:18:02.740 --> 04:18:06.740
better as a product development company and just want to deliver the best we can

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?

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

04:18:14.740 --> 04:18:18.740
yeah because if we sell them on Black Friday

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

04:18:22.740 --> 04:18:26.740
yeah I'm kidding I'm kidding I'm kidding

04:18:26.740 --> 04:18:30.740
sure but if you want to get a good deal and support that

04:18:30.740 --> 04:18:34.740
then you should buy it on Black Friday yes and those who are asking

04:18:34.740 --> 04:18:38.740
yes we have mod mats coming soon

04:18:38.740 --> 04:18:42.740
they should be out next month we have precision bit sets

04:18:42.740 --> 04:18:46.740
coming back soon that was just

04:18:46.740 --> 04:18:50.740
well beyond any expectation that we could ever have when we launched with that

04:18:50.740 --> 04:18:54.740
I think we had assumed hey probably half the people

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

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

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

04:19:06.740 --> 04:19:10.740
give me the bit set too okay now we don't have anymore

04:19:10.740 --> 04:19:14.740
so it takes time and when you're making

04:19:14.740 --> 04:19:18.740
your own products but like actually making your own products

04:19:18.740 --> 04:19:22.740
you can't just like it'll be ready in a week

04:19:22.740 --> 04:19:26.740
it'll be ready in 60 days

04:19:26.740 --> 04:19:30.740
because here's the thing dude I am 7 for 7 today

04:19:30.740 --> 04:19:34.740
let's go 7 Linus is 1 pc

04:19:34.740 --> 04:19:38.740
and at the volume 3333

04:19:38.740 --> 04:19:42.740
I was giving this guy a hard time about not having

04:19:42.740 --> 04:19:46.740
bit sets for the regular screwdriver and I was like

04:19:46.740 --> 04:19:50.740
come on how can it take that long to get this there was a particular one

04:19:50.740 --> 04:19:54.740
and Nick's like okay well let me put it this way

04:19:54.740 --> 04:19:58.740
every pack is 12

04:19:58.740 --> 04:20:02.740
every pack is 12 bits so you want to order 20,000 packs

04:20:02.740 --> 04:20:06.740
so that's a quarter million

04:20:06.740 --> 04:20:10.740
a quarter million things

04:20:10.740 --> 04:20:14.740
whatever the point is just like to make this is nothing

04:20:14.740 --> 04:20:18.740
to make it a quarter million times like you can't

04:20:20.740 --> 04:20:24.740
we're in a really weird in between

04:20:24.740 --> 04:20:28.740
where we're too small to like have our own factory

04:20:28.740 --> 04:20:32.740
but we're too big to necessarily just like

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

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

04:20:40.740 --> 04:20:44.740
likely don't they just have better negotiating power

04:20:44.740 --> 04:20:48.740
stronger relationships preferential treatment online time

04:20:48.740 --> 04:20:52.740
effectively having their own they own their own production to some extent

04:20:52.740 --> 04:20:56.740
yes but we're getting better we've made a lot of changes

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

04:21:00.740 --> 04:21:04.740
before and just takes time we're getting better we're implementing these

04:21:04.740 --> 04:21:08.740
alright good progress you actually did not too bad thanks big dog middle of the road

04:21:08.740 --> 04:21:12.740
well we got distracted talking about you know Suzuki XL7

04:21:12.740 --> 04:21:16.740
Bidness alright time for my last build partner

04:21:16.740 --> 04:21:20.740
hi are you going to carry this last one because I'm tired

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

04:21:24.740 --> 04:21:28.740
I can carry you what are you doing over here

04:21:28.740 --> 04:21:32.740
put your CPU on the motherboard before you put the motherboard in the case

04:21:32.740 --> 04:21:36.740
because it's going to be well I mean yeah actually

04:21:36.740 --> 04:21:40.740
you know what whatever you'd like I like your hair it looks nice

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

04:21:46.740 --> 04:21:50.740
let me get completely caught up on Jordan stuff and then absolutely let's

04:21:50.740 --> 04:21:54.740
get some merch messages going I think this is all Yvonne stuff

04:21:54.740 --> 04:21:58.740
I'm finally on the last system before I do that

04:21:58.740 --> 04:22:02.740
I took this bit away what screwdriver did I take this bit out of

04:22:02.740 --> 04:22:06.740
it was already on the table it might be from mine that Yvonne has

04:22:06.740 --> 04:22:10.740
okay well it's wait what

04:22:10.740 --> 04:22:14.740
is it a small hex? it's no

04:22:14.740 --> 04:22:16.740
it's a Phillips one

04:22:20.740 --> 04:22:24.740
burn everyone else has played enough to say nothing

04:22:24.740 --> 04:22:28.740
but no not my wife no it's fine

04:22:28.740 --> 04:22:32.740
probably had it coming we have an honest and open relationship

04:22:32.740 --> 04:22:36.740
yes yes no matter what

04:22:40.740 --> 04:22:42.740
interesting

04:22:46.740 --> 04:22:48.740
I mean this is good to know

04:22:50.740 --> 04:22:54.740
what's up one percent I don't think it'll matter if you don't

04:22:54.740 --> 04:22:58.740
even wear deodorant that's a very good point

04:22:58.740 --> 04:23:02.740
I'll be lucky to be getting any from people who have to

04:23:02.740 --> 04:23:06.740
contractually actually that isn't in the marriage contract

04:23:06.740 --> 04:23:10.740
is it? no it's not rats they really should fix that

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

04:23:16.740 --> 04:23:20.740
guess which was the number 4 video you got three left here

04:23:20.740 --> 04:23:24.740
you got to remember these ones it's pretty recent

04:23:24.740 --> 04:23:28.740
so we have 2021 and 22 yeah

04:23:28.740 --> 04:23:32.740
6.4 million views from February of 22

04:23:34.740 --> 04:23:38.740
February of 22 that's all you're giving me?

04:23:38.740 --> 04:23:40.740
there's a brand in the title

04:23:42.740 --> 04:23:46.740
oh maybe it's another all something build

04:23:46.740 --> 04:23:50.740
one of them did like

04:23:50.740 --> 04:23:54.740
crazy numbers is it the all ROG build? no sir

04:23:54.740 --> 04:23:58.740
all aorist build? no is it a stream?

04:23:58.740 --> 04:24:02.740
no I don't know then I don't know

04:24:02.740 --> 04:24:06.740
I'm so I'm so fried it's about a GPU

04:24:06.740 --> 04:24:08.740
it's about a GPU

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

04:24:14.740 --> 04:24:18.740
of myself right now okay

04:24:20.740 --> 04:24:24.740
about a GPU can I interrupt your train of thought

04:24:24.740 --> 04:24:28.740
I mean sure there's barely a train at this point

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

04:24:32.740 --> 04:24:36.740
every single screw or like

04:24:36.740 --> 04:24:40.740
look I've been through all of them with him so I just need to know

04:24:40.740 --> 04:24:44.740
someone bought it for 1600 US dollars

04:24:44.740 --> 04:24:48.740
I'm putting in every screw it is actually going to ship to an actual customer

04:24:48.740 --> 04:24:52.740
okay and what's cool is the parts were actually donated

04:24:52.740 --> 04:24:56.740
I think our last shout out is

04:24:56.740 --> 04:25:00.740
for thermal take and colorful thermal take sent over 8 cases

04:25:00.740 --> 04:25:04.740
and colorful sent over a couple of GPUs

04:25:04.740 --> 04:25:08.740
which were the colorful GPUs? they were the last couple 7800's you had

04:25:08.740 --> 04:25:12.740
the last couple 7800's so 7800 XTs

04:25:12.740 --> 04:25:16.740
everyone who contributed parts because we told everyone hey we're

04:25:16.740 --> 04:25:20.740
going to be donating the profits so if we had to buy

04:25:20.740 --> 04:25:24.740
all the stuff ourselves then it was going to be a lot less and our partners

04:25:24.740 --> 04:25:28.740
leapt into action and provided us with almost every single part you guys have seen today

04:25:28.740 --> 04:25:32.740
whether they're from our hardware partners or java.gg

04:25:32.740 --> 04:25:36.740
so we are going to be donating over 20,000

04:25:36.740 --> 04:25:40.740
I believe that's US dollars that's correct

04:25:40.740 --> 04:25:44.740
US dollars to one of our local food banks which is pretty exciting

04:25:46.740 --> 04:25:50.740
what was I talking about? final clue, NVIDIA video card

04:25:50.740 --> 04:25:54.740
NVIDIA oh

04:25:54.740 --> 04:25:58.740
was it the 3090 the 8K gaming the sponsored video

04:25:58.740 --> 04:26:02.740
nope give them a thumbnail Dan

04:26:02.740 --> 04:26:06.740
number 14 oh the mining GPU

04:26:06.740 --> 04:26:10.740
no wait that wasn't the mining one the one now? A100

04:26:10.740 --> 04:26:14.740
yeah yeah yeah what was the title it was like

04:26:14.740 --> 04:26:18.740
NVIDIA wouldn't send me their fastest GPU that was a good title

04:26:18.740 --> 04:26:22.740
stroke of absolute brilliance that title

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

04:26:26.740 --> 04:26:28.740
if you just have like

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

04:26:34.740 --> 04:26:38.740
yeah really right 4223

04:26:38.740 --> 04:26:42.740
from May of 23

04:26:42.740 --> 04:26:46.740
6.8 million views in the first year 6.8 million clickbaity

04:26:46.740 --> 04:26:50.740
huh and a pretty static video

04:26:50.740 --> 04:26:54.740
if I remember right static video oh electro boom club

04:26:54.740 --> 04:26:58.740
oh that's a good plot but no can static kill your PC is that it

04:26:58.740 --> 04:27:02.740
not static in that way static is not moving not moving

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

04:27:06.740 --> 04:27:10.740
screw in what's going on yeah that's usually my job

04:27:10.740 --> 04:27:14.740
to put together computers to put together computers why

04:27:14.740 --> 04:27:18.740
why what were you thinking Dan what were you thinking Dan

04:27:18.740 --> 04:27:20.740
I'm not paid to think I'm sorry sir

04:27:22.740 --> 04:27:26.740
you're doing a very good job oh you cross threaded it

04:27:26.740 --> 04:27:30.740
oh it's the wrong screw what okay so this is actually

04:27:30.740 --> 04:27:34.740
such a common error for novice builders

04:27:34.740 --> 04:27:38.740
there's two threadings there's m3 and there's

04:27:38.740 --> 04:27:42.740
632 and depending on the manufacturer and sometimes even depending

04:27:42.740 --> 04:27:46.740
on the case within their lineup you'll they'll use

04:27:46.740 --> 04:27:50.740
a different threading for the motherboard standoffs it's the one screw in the PC

04:27:50.740 --> 04:27:54.740
that is not standard okay but why did all these ones go in because you used

04:27:54.740 --> 04:27:58.740
different screws you used m3 screws they look exactly the same they don't

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

04:28:02.740 --> 04:28:06.740
threaded it it is stuck in the standoff and when

04:28:06.740 --> 04:28:10.740
you tried to unscrew it you unscrewed the standoff

04:28:10.740 --> 04:28:14.740
underneath so the whole thing has to come apart now I can smell myself

04:28:14.740 --> 04:28:18.740
now is it these ones I'm glad that it's

04:28:18.740 --> 04:28:22.740
I'm glad that it's you because why do I always get shot

04:28:22.740 --> 04:28:24.740
well no I

04:28:26.740 --> 04:28:30.740
I mean yeah considering how open things are why is it

04:28:32.740 --> 04:28:36.740
sorry um no I'm just

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

04:28:40.740 --> 04:28:44.740
and honest and open and it's just it's less

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

04:28:48.740 --> 04:28:52.740
get that undone okay so I'll show you the difference now okay please

04:28:52.740 --> 04:28:56.740
oh one of these was also wrong so I don't know what happened there

04:28:56.740 --> 04:29:00.740
but see how one is a button head okay so

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

04:29:04.740 --> 04:29:08.740
button head with a little like circular okay order thing

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

04:29:12.740 --> 04:29:16.740
threaded ones for this particular case if you've been building one of the systems earlier

04:29:16.740 --> 04:29:20.740
you would have been using 632 for the motherboard tray because the

04:29:20.740 --> 04:29:24.740
industry just didn't think it was necessary to standardize

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

04:29:28.740 --> 04:29:32.740
do agree on okay wait and before

04:29:32.740 --> 04:29:36.740
you put that back down did I have the right ones coming out the right

04:29:36.740 --> 04:29:40.740
the right cables and stuff the ones that connect to the motherboard

04:29:40.740 --> 04:29:44.740
that's a good question I I love the way you're thinking

04:29:44.740 --> 04:29:48.740
you know about like having the right things you know pre-run and everything

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

04:29:52.740 --> 04:29:56.740
right that's pretty cool most

04:29:56.740 --> 04:30:00.740
inexperienced builders do not consider those sorts of things

04:30:00.740 --> 04:30:04.740
but Poryvon builds computers with me so she knows that

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

04:30:08.740 --> 04:30:12.740
to redo everything yes that thing

04:30:12.740 --> 04:30:16.740
she said that I can't push back

04:30:16.740 --> 04:30:20.740
on I know this should stay back there's a couple that you're missing

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

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

04:30:28.740 --> 04:30:32.740
is that what's happening you can just direct me just tell me what to do

04:30:32.740 --> 04:30:36.740
well I can put this in now okay so I'm using the one that has

04:30:36.740 --> 04:30:40.740
the ridge or the rim around it yeah it's that kind of job

04:30:42.740 --> 04:30:46.740
she doesn't know what things are I don't know what you're talking about

04:30:46.740 --> 04:30:50.740
get away with all sorts of stuff Dan help me

04:30:50.740 --> 04:30:52.740
absolutely not

04:30:54.740 --> 04:30:58.740
it was honestly one of the things I liked so much about her

04:30:58.740 --> 04:31:02.740
she was like a private school kid and um

04:31:02.740 --> 04:31:06.740
was very nice that has some seriously

04:31:06.740 --> 04:31:10.740
negative connotations there I just mean you didn't have

04:31:10.740 --> 04:31:14.740
you know I mean beyond the

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

04:31:18.740 --> 04:31:22.740
that's true that's true she wasn't the skanky kind of private school kid

04:31:22.740 --> 04:31:26.740
thanks I thought that's what you were trying to avoid

04:31:26.740 --> 04:31:30.740
who brought me a bucket of standoffs I do not need this

04:31:30.740 --> 04:31:34.740
I thought you might have destroyed one of them no no it's fine thanks Dan

04:31:34.740 --> 04:31:38.740
that also implies that I was a rich spoiled brat

04:31:38.740 --> 04:31:42.740
oh not a rich not a rich private school kid

04:31:42.740 --> 04:31:46.740
we both grew up not privileged

04:31:46.740 --> 04:31:50.740
I remember when I was young my parents used to

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

04:31:54.740 --> 04:31:58.740
and we used to wash our clothes in the bathtub and hang them out to dry

04:31:58.740 --> 04:32:02.740
I feel like that taught us a lot about how to work hard yep

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

04:32:06.740 --> 04:32:10.740
yep this one time we were in the car

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

04:32:14.740 --> 04:32:18.740
on a hill so I think we were 10 and we were rolling down the hill

04:32:18.740 --> 04:32:22.740
that was terrifying yeah

04:32:22.740 --> 04:32:24.740
I don't know if we slept in the car again after that

04:32:26.740 --> 04:32:30.740
um yeah I knew

04:32:30.740 --> 04:32:34.740
what were we talking about Jordan do we have any

04:32:34.740 --> 04:32:38.740
just tell me which one it is I don't care anymore

04:32:38.740 --> 04:32:42.740
you were stepping down what time

04:32:42.740 --> 04:32:46.740
oh stepping down as CEO of the company

04:32:46.740 --> 04:32:50.740
wait what I have no concept of time

04:32:50.740 --> 04:32:54.740
that was May of 23 so not quite 2 years

04:32:54.740 --> 04:32:58.740
still the final video then

04:32:58.740 --> 04:33:02.740
was from December of last year yeah it's um

04:33:02.740 --> 04:33:06.740
what was our oh wait what December of last year 8.5 million

04:33:06.740 --> 04:33:10.740
what December of last year

04:33:10.740 --> 04:33:14.740
8.5 million still good thank you

04:33:14.740 --> 04:33:18.740
I don't even think we had any like 8.5 million mega bangers that recently

04:33:18.740 --> 04:33:22.740
I don't even know just just tell me that was your TCL X11G

04:33:22.740 --> 04:33:26.740
alright yeah the world's biggest TV

04:33:26.740 --> 04:33:30.740
I still love that thing I ultimately even though the high sense has the edge

04:33:30.740 --> 04:33:34.740
in some ways I ultimately kept the TCL the accounting was a little less

04:33:34.740 --> 04:33:38.740
complicated fun fact by the way I just

04:33:38.740 --> 04:33:42.740
just confirmed this with the planning committee

04:33:42.740 --> 04:33:46.740
the high sense will be at the Christmas parties this year

04:33:48.740 --> 04:33:52.740
the 110 inch TV is going to be at the Christmas party

04:33:52.740 --> 04:33:56.740
that is not a small box to deal with seriously that's your reaction to that

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

04:34:00.740 --> 04:34:04.740
I do have walls do you have a ceiling put it on the ceiling

04:34:04.740 --> 04:34:08.740
110 inch TV let's go that would be pretty cool

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

04:34:12.740 --> 04:34:14.740
that's how I won the one massage chair last year

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

04:34:20.740 --> 04:34:24.740
as a car something like that

04:34:24.740 --> 04:34:28.740
dude if you win another like

04:34:28.740 --> 04:34:32.740
ultimate grand prize with one stupid ticket people are going to call shenanigans

04:34:32.740 --> 04:34:36.740
like there's no way there is no way

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

04:34:40.740 --> 04:34:44.740
oh I assumed I would be emcee but I guess technically there's no reason

04:34:44.740 --> 04:34:48.740
that I have to be I don't know it's up to you

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

04:34:52.740 --> 04:34:56.740
no I think everyone assumed you would do it but I just wanted to double check

04:34:56.740 --> 04:35:00.740
yeah I'll do it am I missing a fan still

04:35:00.740 --> 04:35:04.740
there it is how's your bills going

04:35:04.740 --> 04:35:08.740
I did take the fan out because I couldn't get the

04:35:08.740 --> 04:35:12.740
I couldn't get it in oh

04:35:12.740 --> 04:35:16.740
now before I put it back yeah that's what I wanted to check

04:35:16.740 --> 04:35:20.740
so this way in which way do you want the wires

04:35:20.740 --> 04:35:24.740
I think the question is which way do you want the wires

04:35:24.740 --> 04:35:28.740
I would go so that you have a little bit more slack

04:35:28.740 --> 04:35:32.740
okay there you go see this is why I ask these things

04:35:32.740 --> 04:35:36.740
I know I'm sorry

04:35:36.740 --> 04:35:38.740
I'm super easy to be married to

04:35:40.740 --> 04:35:44.740
I actually don't know how you work on this table it's really tall

04:35:44.740 --> 04:35:48.740
I'm having a hard time really my own wife

04:35:48.740 --> 04:35:52.740
my own wife with the short jokes I see how it is

04:35:52.740 --> 04:35:56.740
I see how it is oh

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

04:36:00.740 --> 04:36:04.740
let's put this on man this is

04:36:04.740 --> 04:36:08.740
quite a bit more challenging you unlocked out

04:36:08.740 --> 04:36:12.740
the one we were doing earlier the AMD bill was a little bit easier

04:36:12.740 --> 04:36:16.740
what makes this one hard it's just a little tighter to work in

04:36:16.740 --> 04:36:18.740
I mean you're like right in my way

04:36:22.740 --> 04:36:26.740
I have less of the

04:36:26.740 --> 04:36:28.740
I think you're okay with your left hand

04:36:30.740 --> 04:36:34.740
not great but okay

04:36:34.740 --> 04:36:38.740
I'm practicing practicing screwing

04:36:42.740 --> 04:36:46.740
oh man how about submerged messages

04:36:46.740 --> 04:36:50.740
that sounds like a good idea it's great working with Yvonne because

04:36:50.740 --> 04:36:54.740
I can get it out of my system it's like

04:36:54.740 --> 04:36:58.740
the things that I can't say to literally anyone else it's good

04:36:58.740 --> 04:37:00.740
I can't make those jokes

04:37:02.740 --> 04:37:06.740
oh man okay yeah Jordan is that all you have for like guessing games and stuff

04:37:06.740 --> 04:37:10.740
are we on to Dan is he able to do some I mean realistically

04:37:10.740 --> 04:37:14.740
most of the people having merge messages read probably left them like three hours ago

04:37:14.740 --> 04:37:18.740
probably yeah we're gonna do those like top five or anything like that

04:37:18.740 --> 04:37:22.740
are people still enjoying this are they still into it Dan

04:37:22.740 --> 04:37:26.740
I think so yeah we still got some viewers

04:37:26.740 --> 04:37:30.740
hey thanks for tuning in today you guys really appreciate you

04:37:30.740 --> 04:37:34.740
alright hit me Dan hey LMG just moved out

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

04:37:38.740 --> 04:37:42.740
don't live in Vancouver I'm so sorry

04:37:42.740 --> 04:37:46.740
is it too late move elsewhere

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

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

04:37:56.740 --> 04:38:00.740
right now okay if anyone from the city of Surrey is watching

04:38:00.740 --> 04:38:04.740
our agricultural industry is important

04:38:04.740 --> 04:38:08.740
agriculture is the backbone of a functioning society etc

04:38:08.740 --> 04:38:12.740
it just doesn't smell good that's all that's all

04:38:12.740 --> 04:38:16.740
man there was a day what was it a couple weeks ago when the business

04:38:16.740 --> 04:38:20.740
business land upstairs was like uninhabitable it was

04:38:20.740 --> 04:38:24.740
I don't know what kind of poop they were spreading in the fields nearby

04:38:24.740 --> 04:38:28.740
but the animal that came out of was not healthy

04:38:28.740 --> 04:38:32.740
not a healthy animal that being said

04:38:32.740 --> 04:38:36.740
they said that the population in the city of Surrey is going to overtake Vancouver

04:38:36.740 --> 04:38:40.740
in the next five years so they're working on making Surrey much more

04:38:40.740 --> 04:38:44.740
of a city they want to call it Metro Surrey not Metro Vancouver

04:38:44.740 --> 04:38:48.740
that's their goal that is

04:38:48.740 --> 04:38:52.740
I'm paraphrasing that's ambitious

04:38:52.740 --> 04:38:56.740
well I mean they've made a lot of progress have you seen Surrey Central

04:38:56.740 --> 04:39:00.740
like when we moved in my parents used to live on the corner of King George

04:39:00.740 --> 04:39:04.740
and there used to be I joked with Yvonne that if she didn't

04:39:04.740 --> 04:39:08.740
put out then I'd have other options on my way home

04:39:10.740 --> 04:39:14.740
oh that's a good joke now there's just so much more development

04:39:14.740 --> 04:39:18.740
going in like the SFU is there I think the

04:39:18.740 --> 04:39:22.740
which is a local university or college I always forget that people don't know

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

04:39:26.740 --> 04:39:30.740
next to the hospital City Hall they've built this like crazy extravagant building

04:39:30.740 --> 04:39:34.740
they've upgraded them all it's just completely different but traffic also sucks

04:39:34.740 --> 04:39:38.740
call me when you have a hockey team I mean realistically that's

04:39:38.740 --> 04:39:42.740
what makes a Canadian city a real city there's no parking

04:39:42.740 --> 04:39:46.740
right take that Quebec City well okay wait wait come help me

04:39:46.740 --> 04:39:50.740
just kidding I'm nothing against Quebec City I've only been there once

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

04:39:54.740 --> 04:39:58.740
hi those go nowhere so this one

04:39:58.740 --> 04:40:02.740
is she's trying to figure out RGB wiring which is it's a nightmare

04:40:02.740 --> 04:40:06.740
so this one right here the female one is going to go into one of these

04:40:06.740 --> 04:40:10.740
and then all the rest of them are going to daisy chain into this one

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

04:40:14.740 --> 04:40:18.740
it has one of these covers because otherwise if it accidentally touches any metal

04:40:18.740 --> 04:40:22.740
it'll short and it'll maybe cause a fire okay wait so

04:40:22.740 --> 04:40:26.740
why did you have this coming out the top because now it won't go down

04:40:26.740 --> 04:40:30.740
I asked you what ones you wanted coming out and I think

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

04:40:34.740 --> 04:40:38.740
I asked you oh I see

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

04:40:44.740 --> 04:40:48.740
and then just just jam this back here

04:40:48.740 --> 04:40:52.740
or something it's hilarious yeah that'll work

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

04:40:56.740 --> 04:41:00.740
you're fine everything's fine everything's good

04:41:00.740 --> 04:41:04.740
oh I plugged in my power connectors but I haven't plugged in my fans yet

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

04:41:08.740 --> 04:41:12.740
a used reference 7900 XTX

04:41:12.740 --> 04:41:16.740
and notice the V round temperatures reached 98 C while gaming

04:41:16.740 --> 04:41:20.740
in 106 on Furmark should I be concerned I would get a little bit more ventilation

04:41:20.740 --> 04:41:24.740
in your case theoretically it's not going to kill it probably

04:41:24.740 --> 04:41:28.740
but I would I would probably get a little bit more ventilation in your case yeah

04:41:28.740 --> 04:41:32.740
hey Linus wanted to ask if you have any opinions

04:41:32.740 --> 04:41:36.740
on the Vajaro Aero VR headset I still need to try it

04:41:36.740 --> 04:41:40.740
they sent us one like a thousand years ago

04:41:40.740 --> 04:41:44.740
and I it's been sitting there begging me to try it

04:41:44.740 --> 04:41:48.740
along with a bunch of other cool VR stuff that I want to check out

04:41:48.740 --> 04:41:52.740
I still have the wireless uh index adapter that I

04:41:52.740 --> 04:41:56.740
I have spent several hours trying to get working and I got as far

04:41:56.740 --> 04:42:00.740
as booking a consultation with their tech team to like

04:42:00.740 --> 04:42:04.740
help me fix because I just could not figure it out

04:42:04.740 --> 04:42:08.740
and then I had something catastrophic happen

04:42:08.740 --> 04:42:12.740
oh my sister died and so I missed my appointment and then I just like

04:42:12.740 --> 04:42:16.740
was not not into it for a bit

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

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

04:42:24.740 --> 04:42:28.740
Vajaro Vajaro Aero or whatever it is they also sent over one of their other ones

04:42:28.740 --> 04:42:32.740
they look super cool but I've just been a little behind on my VR stuff

04:42:32.740 --> 04:42:36.740
because the reality of it is usually these days when I have time

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

04:42:40.740 --> 04:42:44.740
using my index because it just mostly

04:42:44.740 --> 04:42:48.740
just works I think it's like

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

04:42:52.740 --> 04:42:56.740
want things to work when I uh

04:42:56.740 --> 04:43:00.740
finally have a minute to sit down you know I don't know

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

04:43:04.740 --> 04:43:08.740
or both oh we're talking about this really

04:43:08.740 --> 04:43:12.740
live? she's been telling me I should take a sabbatical

04:43:12.740 --> 04:43:16.740
for like years not a years long sabbatical

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

04:43:20.740 --> 04:43:24.740
well see I tried that and then

04:43:24.740 --> 04:43:28.740
just when you try and get out they suck you back in I hardly ever

04:43:28.740 --> 04:43:32.740
actually get Monday off theoretically I have Mondays off

04:43:32.740 --> 04:43:36.740
no I think it turned into a work from home turned into Mondays work from home

04:43:36.740 --> 04:43:40.740
and then sometimes I I managed to have most of yesterday off

04:43:40.740 --> 04:43:44.740
which was nice but I don't know it's just one of those things

04:43:44.740 --> 04:43:48.740
like you hear Nick talking about what it was like back in those days

04:43:48.740 --> 04:43:52.740
and it's just been go go go grow grow grow

04:43:52.740 --> 04:43:56.740
all this time and she's right

04:43:56.740 --> 04:44:00.740
you know that's the thing about your better half is

04:44:00.740 --> 04:44:04.740
they tend to be right about things just I'm tired

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

04:44:08.740 --> 04:44:12.740
kind of like walk away and let it go autopilot for a while without

04:44:12.740 --> 04:44:16.740
something screwing up catastrophically so it's hard to

04:44:16.740 --> 04:44:20.740
speaking of screwing up catastrophically can you just make sure

04:44:20.740 --> 04:44:24.740
I like that nice that was a pathetic high five though

04:44:24.740 --> 04:44:28.740
okay this way yes that looks good

04:44:28.740 --> 04:44:32.740
nice no we gotta push it down a little more

04:44:32.740 --> 04:44:36.740
that things gotta hold down the other yeah there you go

04:44:36.740 --> 04:44:40.740
sounds bad but it's good Linus have you ever dropped

04:44:40.740 --> 04:44:44.740
one of your kids Christmas gifts I don't think so

04:44:44.740 --> 04:44:48.740
have I ever like broken one of the kids Christmas presents

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

04:44:52.740 --> 04:44:56.740
remember that yeah that was not the greatest

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

04:45:00.740 --> 04:45:04.740
was that Christmas it was wasn't it it was cold

04:45:04.740 --> 04:45:08.740
I don't know why we were installing it during Christmas because we want because

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

04:45:12.740 --> 04:45:16.740
like magic magic Santa assembled a trampoline in our backyard

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

04:45:20.740 --> 04:45:24.740
but I don't know you know what I wouldn't undo it

04:45:24.740 --> 04:45:28.740
I wouldn't undo it totally worth it I just remember us being so angry

04:45:28.740 --> 04:45:32.740
I was so mad at Linus it was so cold

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

04:45:36.740 --> 04:45:40.740
I think we hired somebody when we moved the trampoline to install it correctly

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

04:45:44.740 --> 04:45:48.740
two of us like three hours to assemble it the first time

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

04:45:52.740 --> 04:45:56.740
but not the easiest to install if you've never done it before

04:45:58.740 --> 04:46:02.740
hit me Dan hello from Ireland

04:46:02.740 --> 04:46:06.740
what software do you recommend for making cool ARGB

04:46:06.740 --> 04:46:10.740
lighting patterns shout out to Borna from work for going in with me on

04:46:10.740 --> 04:46:14.740
screwdriver shipping I don't know

04:46:14.740 --> 04:46:18.740
I use signal RGB on my computer at work

04:46:18.740 --> 04:46:22.740
because I have that NCIX sign PC so I just have like those really long strips

04:46:22.740 --> 04:46:26.740
and signal RGB works for that and other than that

04:46:26.740 --> 04:46:30.740
I have to confess that I don't give too many hoots about what my RGB

04:46:30.740 --> 04:46:34.740
patterns look like so I have never really cared

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

04:46:38.740 --> 04:46:42.740
but congratulations on saving on shipping

04:46:42.740 --> 04:46:46.740
hey LTT you talked about being too well known

04:46:46.740 --> 04:46:50.740
to do scrapyard wars would going in another province

04:46:50.740 --> 04:46:54.740
with a different language help with that like doing it in Montreal maybe

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

04:46:58.740 --> 04:47:02.740
how it's impossible for me to go anywhere in Vancouver at this point without

04:47:02.740 --> 04:47:06.740
well I shouldn't say anywhere if I went to like

04:47:06.740 --> 04:47:10.740
I was about to say to like a crafting supplies store

04:47:10.740 --> 04:47:14.740
but we totally got recognized at a crafting supplies store yesterday

04:47:14.740 --> 04:47:18.740
obviously it was by a young awkward man

04:47:18.740 --> 04:47:22.740
no offense I think he knew it was a little awkward

04:47:22.740 --> 04:47:26.740
do you want black or grey surprise grey

04:47:26.740 --> 04:47:30.740
you know our demographic basically

04:47:30.740 --> 04:47:34.740
but like if we go somewhere where our demographic is not really present

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

04:47:38.740 --> 04:47:42.740
like an electronic store or whatever else then the odds are

04:47:42.740 --> 04:47:46.740
extremely slim like it was a miracle that that guy in the Taiwan tech mall

04:47:46.740 --> 04:47:50.740
I didn't know who I was he actually posted later that he totally watches

04:47:50.740 --> 04:47:54.740
the channel he just like I don't know maybe he just

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

04:47:58.740 --> 04:48:02.740
in a billion years and you know what I totally have the same thing

04:48:02.740 --> 04:48:06.740
where no matter how well I know someone if I see them in the wrong context

04:48:06.740 --> 04:48:10.740
super important I've got nothing

04:48:10.740 --> 04:48:14.740
like I literally when I was a kid I saw my teacher at the grocery

04:48:14.740 --> 04:48:18.740
store once this is someone I spent six hours a day

04:48:18.740 --> 04:48:22.740
with five days a week didn't recognize her took me like

04:48:22.740 --> 04:48:26.740
a while to recognize her I've had

04:48:26.740 --> 04:48:30.740
relatives that I've run into like just on the sidewalk

04:48:30.740 --> 04:48:34.740
and I have not recognized them until they recognized me and like said something

04:48:34.740 --> 04:48:38.740
like it's it's a hundred percent a thing for me so I

04:48:38.740 --> 04:48:42.740
I 100% can relate I get it

04:48:42.740 --> 04:48:46.740
but anyway we were talking about it and I

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

04:48:50.740 --> 04:48:54.740
to her was back when we went back to visit her

04:48:54.740 --> 04:48:58.740
family in in Southeast Asia and this was

04:48:58.740 --> 04:49:02.740
this was when our kid was

04:49:02.740 --> 04:49:06.740
two so I try not to get too granular on the ages

04:49:06.740 --> 04:49:10.740
so sometime in the mid 20s times

04:49:10.740 --> 04:49:14.740
sometime back then I was in Malaysia

04:49:14.740 --> 04:49:18.740
at a restaurant and buddy comes up and is like

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

04:49:22.740 --> 04:49:26.740
as much of a thing yet but basically like oh I watch your videos you know

04:49:26.740 --> 04:49:30.740
whatever and so like

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

04:49:34.740 --> 04:49:38.740
that's not the point but within the like young

04:49:38.740 --> 04:49:42.740
man demographic I don't think it's going to make a difference

04:49:44.740 --> 04:49:48.740
and like the thing about the thing about Quebec is that even though

04:49:48.740 --> 04:49:52.740
it is a French speaking territory or whatever province

04:49:52.740 --> 04:49:56.740
not territory that's technically a different thing here even though it's a French

04:49:56.740 --> 04:50:00.740
speaking region a lot of people especially in the urban

04:50:00.740 --> 04:50:04.740
centers where there'd be any good you know scrapyard warring a lot

04:50:04.740 --> 04:50:08.740
of them speak English anyway and we'll watch English speaking content there is a really

04:50:08.740 --> 04:50:12.740
good francophone tech scene so they don't have to

04:50:12.740 --> 04:50:16.740
watch English speaking content but a lot of them do and part of it is

04:50:16.740 --> 04:50:20.740
improving their English so yeah I don't think it would help

04:50:20.740 --> 04:50:24.740
cool idea though I'd be down to do it where we have to speak French

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

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

04:50:34.740 --> 04:50:38.740
hit me Dan sure I got about 11 to go

04:50:38.740 --> 04:50:42.740
wow okay with the crowd strike breaking computers earlier this year and Microsoft

04:50:42.740 --> 04:50:46.740
365 being offline for most of yesterday what software

04:50:46.740 --> 04:50:50.740
if any could be used in the place of softwares of service

04:50:50.740 --> 04:50:54.740
I don't know because a lot of the software

04:50:54.740 --> 04:50:58.740
that we used to rely on instead of software as a service

04:50:58.740 --> 04:51:02.740
has just been replaced it's been it was

04:51:02.740 --> 04:51:06.740
software that was from these same companies who now

04:51:06.740 --> 04:51:10.740
no longer offer a buy once cry once option it's extremely

04:51:10.740 --> 04:51:14.740
frustrating and I don't know

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

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

04:51:22.740 --> 04:51:26.740
to force anybody to do that I'm

04:51:26.740 --> 04:51:30.740
I think it's something that I think it's something that

04:51:30.740 --> 04:51:34.740
as an industry not as an industry as industries

04:51:34.740 --> 04:51:38.740
whether it's like media industry or

04:51:38.740 --> 04:51:42.740
oil and gas resource exploration industry or whatever as industries

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

04:51:46.740 --> 04:51:50.740
reliant on this stuff and we we haven't and I guess in a way

04:51:50.740 --> 04:51:54.740
we kind of we kind of have ourselves to blame as well

04:51:54.740 --> 04:51:58.740
if we if we allow these these these tool makers

04:51:58.740 --> 04:52:02.740
these these software developers to sort of bend

04:52:02.740 --> 04:52:06.740
us over a barrel like this and I guess that's kind of on us

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

04:52:10.740 --> 04:52:14.740
do these go on oh sure oh it's down there

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

04:52:18.740 --> 04:52:22.740
spacers you need the blue spacers so basically what you'll do is you'll

04:52:22.740 --> 04:52:26.740
hold this on they used to come with adhesive on a lot of the aio

04:52:26.740 --> 04:52:30.740
water cooling kits and stuff but they don't anymore so you'll hold this on

04:52:30.740 --> 04:52:34.740
and then you'll put all your blue spacers on and then you'll put

04:52:34.740 --> 04:52:38.740
these on like this right like

04:52:38.740 --> 04:52:42.740
that okay and then like that on the other side so the curve out

04:52:42.740 --> 04:52:46.740
and then do I put these blue washers on or screws or whatever

04:52:46.740 --> 04:52:50.740
then you put the black screws on top okay so here why don't

04:52:50.740 --> 04:52:54.740
you do one to completion because that'll hold the back plate in place

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

04:52:58.740 --> 04:53:02.740
to yeah I mean you can't leave till I'm done so

04:53:02.740 --> 04:53:06.740
this actually I can we drop separately today

04:53:08.740 --> 04:53:12.740
but I wouldn't that means I can leave

04:53:12.740 --> 04:53:16.740
without you too yeah but you're not done on your computer

04:53:18.740 --> 04:53:22.740
alright there you go there you go

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

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

04:53:30.740 --> 04:53:34.740
why did Samsung have to put the badonka donk and vase them out all the way

04:53:34.740 --> 04:53:38.740
the bottom of the TV that's a funny thing

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

04:53:42.740 --> 04:53:46.740
but back when LG did their first few generations of OLEDs

04:53:46.740 --> 04:53:50.740
it was right on the heels it was it was coming up into the brightness

04:53:50.740 --> 04:53:54.740
war the brightness war hadn't really started yet and it was

04:53:54.740 --> 04:53:58.740
it was right off the heels of the

04:53:58.740 --> 04:54:02.740
I think we were in the midst of the number of K's war and we

04:54:02.740 --> 04:54:06.740
were coming off of the thinness war and

04:54:06.740 --> 04:54:10.740
LG would have this ridiculous marketing for their early OLEDs

04:54:10.740 --> 04:54:14.740
boasting that they were just four millimeters thin or whatever

04:54:14.740 --> 04:54:18.740
but it would be you know along the top

04:54:18.740 --> 04:54:22.740
and then they'd have this giant caboose at the bottom so it's

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

04:54:26.740 --> 04:54:30.740
I'm talking about the earlier ones and I remember making fun of it back then

04:54:30.740 --> 04:54:34.740
and then I just kind of forgot about the ridiculousness of it

04:54:34.740 --> 04:54:38.740
but no you're a hundred percent right it's hilarious

04:54:38.740 --> 04:54:42.740
to kind of market your TV as that much thinner

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

04:54:46.740 --> 04:54:50.740
to that other than to say Samsung why are you so silly

04:54:50.740 --> 04:54:54.740
that's all I got hey speaking of Samsung

04:54:54.740 --> 04:54:58.740
dude this TV has turned so many heads

04:54:58.740 --> 04:55:02.740
I was freaking out about this the other week so this is high senses

04:55:02.740 --> 04:55:06.740
like kind of knockoff of the of the Samsung

04:55:06.740 --> 04:55:10.740
frame what they call it Canvas it's the high sense canvas

04:55:10.740 --> 04:55:14.740
this thing dude I want this thing so bad hey Von remember

04:55:14.740 --> 04:55:18.740
in the living room how we had them put those recessed power outlets where

04:55:18.740 --> 04:55:22.740
the previous owner had those like art illumination lights

04:55:22.740 --> 04:55:26.740
I want to I want to get once these get a little cheaper

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

04:55:30.740 --> 04:55:34.740
I don't think but man they

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

04:55:38.740 --> 04:55:42.740
like made a full video about it or anything it has the has the magnetic

04:55:42.740 --> 04:55:46.740
interchangeable things on it just like the Samsung frame one does

04:55:46.740 --> 04:55:50.740
I don't actually know how to put the gallery on

04:55:50.740 --> 04:55:54.740
yeah I assume somewhere in here something art mode there we go

04:55:54.740 --> 04:55:58.740
okay man they nailed the finish they nailed

04:55:58.740 --> 04:56:02.740
the illumination so Yvonne check this out

04:56:02.740 --> 04:56:06.740
you should get you get her side does that not just look like a painting

04:56:06.740 --> 04:56:10.740
yeah it does I don't like the frame but yeah it does

04:56:10.740 --> 04:56:14.740
oh it's interchangeable okay but like shoot

04:56:14.740 --> 04:56:18.740
sorry you distracted me and I dropped the screw dude it just looks like a painting

04:56:18.740 --> 04:56:22.740
it's it's a wine it blew my mind

04:56:22.740 --> 04:56:26.740
and like it is backlit and if if you catch it a light directly

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

04:56:30.740 --> 04:56:34.740
and the viewing angles aren't perfect but compared to

04:56:34.740 --> 04:56:38.740
everything else that I've seen they just nailed it

04:56:38.740 --> 04:56:42.740
I don't know how to there we go

04:56:42.740 --> 04:56:46.740
it's so good it is so good yeah it like really manages to

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

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

04:56:54.740 --> 04:56:58.740
it just does a really good job of seeming like it's just

04:56:58.740 --> 04:57:02.740
naturally lit I don't know it's really cool TV

04:57:02.740 --> 04:57:06.740
and what's funny is like you don't think about this

04:57:06.740 --> 04:57:10.740
until you go to actually shop for it but buying an art

04:57:10.740 --> 04:57:14.740
you know like going to a gallery and buying art

04:57:14.740 --> 04:57:18.740
is so expensive like it would actually cost

04:57:18.740 --> 04:57:22.740
if we wanted to get like a good one or something

04:57:22.740 --> 04:57:26.740
like it would actually cost as much if not more to buy a nice

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

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

04:57:34.740 --> 04:57:38.740
which I know is such a horrible like bonkers tech

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

04:57:42.740 --> 04:57:46.740
so yeah I want two of those actually which means

04:57:46.740 --> 04:57:50.740
that we can put that Michael Buble thing downstairs instead of having it above

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

04:57:54.740 --> 04:57:58.740
as long as you help me put this in oh okay

04:57:58.740 --> 04:58:02.740
oh okay here's your problem this fan needs to come off

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

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

04:58:10.740 --> 04:58:14.740
but it just goes like this there you go

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

04:58:18.740 --> 04:58:22.740
why doesn't this come with instructions hmm probably when

04:58:22.740 --> 04:58:26.740
the systems were prepped someone misplaced them

04:58:26.740 --> 04:58:30.740
story of my life why did someone

04:58:30.740 --> 04:58:34.740
you know lose this I don't know

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

04:58:38.740 --> 04:58:42.740
doing their best and you know stuff happens I mean

04:58:42.740 --> 04:58:46.740
there's no way that I have perfectly kept track of every little piece of everything

04:58:46.740 --> 04:58:50.740
I've had out today so not gonna judge today not today

04:58:50.740 --> 04:58:54.740
um and there was there were a lot of systems to prep

04:58:54.740 --> 04:58:58.740
you look at poor Jordan over there look how tired he looks

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

04:59:02.740 --> 04:59:06.740
no he hasn't had to build new computers I can't hear you

04:59:06.740 --> 04:59:10.740
can't hear you no he his hard work was like

04:59:10.740 --> 04:59:14.740
yesterday yeah

04:59:14.740 --> 04:59:18.740
I can't believe we got 16 computers built today

04:59:18.740 --> 04:59:22.740
and we did not all of them happened on camera like Dennis made it like

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

04:59:26.740 --> 04:59:28.740
yeah yeah Andy you should go check them out

04:59:30.740 --> 04:59:34.740
here we go I think you mean to the left though

04:59:36.740 --> 04:59:40.740
hey there they are so who actually like worked on them there you go

04:59:40.740 --> 04:59:44.740
there's Reese Dylan and Josh and Reese and Justin

04:59:44.740 --> 04:59:48.740
hey Justin maybe new guy

04:59:48.740 --> 04:59:52.740
okay how bad were mine were mine okay

04:59:52.740 --> 04:59:56.740
mine were okay alright nice

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

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

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

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

05:00:16.740 --> 05:00:20.740
see that's a tough question because it depends on what you want

05:00:20.740 --> 05:00:24.740
to be an expert at and I know you just

05:00:24.740 --> 05:00:26.740
said at building computers smart guy

05:00:28.740 --> 05:00:32.740
but just because you are good at building say for example modern

05:00:32.740 --> 05:00:36.740
computers that doesn't mean that you would be good at

05:00:36.740 --> 05:00:40.740
if someone were to bring you an older machine that they needed

05:00:40.740 --> 05:00:44.740
help fixing for example so like there are different

05:00:44.740 --> 05:00:48.740
there are different eras of computer hardware that you could be

05:00:48.740 --> 05:00:52.740
an expert at and just because you're an expert at one of them

05:00:52.740 --> 05:00:56.740
doesn't mean you would know anything about others um and so

05:00:56.740 --> 05:00:58.740
I think it's really hard to quantify because

05:01:02.740 --> 05:01:06.740
oh shoot did I just pull that out like if you handed someone

05:01:06.740 --> 05:01:10.740
from you know the the p4

05:01:10.740 --> 05:01:14.740
era an RGB wiring hub an RGB hub

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

05:01:18.740 --> 05:01:22.740
if you were to hand someone who's only ever built modern computers

05:01:22.740 --> 05:01:26.740
IDE hard drives and optical drives they'd be like

05:01:26.740 --> 05:01:30.740
what do you mean you slave a master I'm having flashbacks move the jumpers around

05:01:30.740 --> 05:01:34.740
on the thing and you got cable select so then it should just know

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

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

05:01:42.740 --> 05:01:46.740
it's a whole thing right um no so

05:01:46.740 --> 05:01:50.740
it's not so much that I would say you have to build a quantity

05:01:50.740 --> 05:01:54.740
of computers as that I would say you have to build

05:01:54.740 --> 05:01:58.740
um a variety of computers like

05:01:58.740 --> 05:02:02.740
once you've done it enough the odds that you've kind of seen

05:02:02.740 --> 05:02:06.740
every curve ball increase but if you were to just build

05:02:06.740 --> 05:02:10.740
500 of the same computer I would say you are

05:02:10.740 --> 05:02:14.740
probably not an expert I would say you are um you are

05:02:14.740 --> 05:02:18.740
probably a really speedy assembly line worker but you are not necessarily

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

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

05:02:26.740 --> 05:02:30.740
will just building things from scratch and building them properly in the first place

05:02:30.740 --> 05:02:34.740
um you also get a lot faster uh if you

05:02:34.740 --> 05:02:38.740
if you have to fix because then like the pressure's on because people need

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

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

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

05:02:50.740 --> 05:02:54.740
a when show streaming machine and you need to go live you know there's

05:02:54.740 --> 05:02:58.740
you'll learn a lot more shortcuts and stuff and I'd say knowing the right

05:02:58.740 --> 05:03:02.740
shortcuts and avoiding the wrong shortcuts is a big part of being an expert

05:03:02.740 --> 05:03:06.740
right um I don't know see I would hesitate to even call

05:03:06.740 --> 05:03:10.740
myself fully an expert because there's

05:03:10.740 --> 05:03:14.740
types of hardware that I have never touched like if you

05:03:14.740 --> 05:03:18.740
put you put an old like dual processor

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

05:03:22.740 --> 05:03:26.740
through it but there'd be a lot of stuff that I'm not familiar with

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

05:03:30.740 --> 05:03:34.740
like a old 486 with the jumpers on the motherboard to configure everything

05:03:34.740 --> 05:03:38.740
486 is

05:03:38.740 --> 05:03:42.740
before my time I only really got into the DIY

05:03:42.740 --> 05:03:46.740
scene in the Athlon XP late Pentium 4 era like like Northwood

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

05:03:52.740 --> 05:03:56.740
way before that because I went straight from having in my room

05:03:56.740 --> 05:04:00.740
a Pentium 90 I believe it was

05:04:00.740 --> 05:04:04.740
either a Pentium 90 or a Pentium 166 Pentium 1

05:04:04.740 --> 05:04:08.740
I went straight from that to buying myself an Athlon XP2500 plus

05:04:08.740 --> 05:04:12.740
I missed the entire

05:04:12.740 --> 05:04:16.740
early gaming era early 3D gaming everything I went straight from

05:04:16.740 --> 05:04:20.740
playing like chips challenge okay like ANO 1602

05:04:20.740 --> 05:04:24.740
to high fighter okay to like

05:04:24.740 --> 05:04:28.740
Warcraft 3 everything in between

05:04:28.740 --> 05:04:32.740
okay I shouldn't say everything in between I played Warcraft 2 on our

05:04:32.740 --> 05:04:36.740
family computer which was a Pentium 200 MMX and then we didn't upgrade

05:04:36.740 --> 05:04:40.740
that until we got a P4

05:04:40.740 --> 05:04:44.740
2.66 so both our family computer

05:04:44.740 --> 05:04:48.740
went from P1 to P4 and from P1 and my personal computer

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

05:04:52.740 --> 05:04:56.740
I just wanted MSN messenger in my room

05:04:56.740 --> 05:05:00.740
so I went from a P1 myself to an Athlon XP

05:05:00.740 --> 05:05:02.740
which was essentially P4 equivalent

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

05:05:08.740 --> 05:05:12.740
Unreal Tournament or like Quake or whatever I didn't play Quake

05:05:12.740 --> 05:05:16.740
until I was running it on like an Athlon 64

05:05:16.740 --> 05:05:20.740
that was when I first played Quake 3 like a LAN or something

05:05:20.740 --> 05:05:24.740
okay all my RGB is working let's see if my system works

05:05:24.740 --> 05:05:28.740
alright hit me Dan Hello Linus I work in

05:05:28.740 --> 05:05:32.740
security monitoring and I get constant encounter customers with faulty

05:05:32.740 --> 05:05:36.740
sensors which lead to false positives in what way can we improve the

05:05:36.740 --> 05:05:40.740
technology used in alarm systems well

05:05:40.740 --> 05:05:44.740
one of the ways to improve it would be to stop costing it down

05:05:44.740 --> 05:05:48.740
that was something that I was super insistent on when we built out our

05:05:48.740 --> 05:05:52.740
new house was that I didn't want anything wireless

05:05:52.740 --> 05:05:56.740
nothing wireless I don't I don't like wireless as much

05:05:56.740 --> 05:06:00.740
as I like wires so even like motion sensors

05:06:00.740 --> 05:06:04.740
and stuff like that all wired

05:06:04.740 --> 05:06:08.740
and honestly it's not even just like a security issue

05:06:08.740 --> 05:06:12.740
or reliability issue necessarily although those are definitely advantages

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

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

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

05:06:24.740 --> 05:06:28.740
that means you're going and changing some stupid usually some like random

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

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

05:06:36.740 --> 05:06:40.740
I'm not really answering your question but the point is finding

05:06:40.740 --> 05:06:44.740
wired or it's like security equipment these days

05:06:44.740 --> 05:06:48.740
it's not easy nobody wires anything up anymore

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

05:06:52.740 --> 05:06:56.740
the labor on installing them is way less

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

05:07:00.740 --> 05:07:04.740
we're going to stop costing down and we're going to start focusing on reliability

05:07:04.740 --> 05:07:08.740
you're not going to see any change and so since no industry

05:07:08.740 --> 05:07:12.740
is ever focused on quality these days and is always focused on costing

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

05:07:16.740 --> 05:07:20.740
really good progress you don't want to screw your power supply in yet because

05:07:20.740 --> 05:07:24.740
yeah you have absolute wow with your hands you can almost do it

05:07:24.740 --> 05:07:28.740
that's crazy check this out Andy she can actually

05:07:28.740 --> 05:07:32.740
at least attempt to plug in the give these like skinny chicken little wrists

05:07:32.740 --> 05:07:36.740
look at her wrists so she can actually get in there and plug in the

05:07:36.740 --> 05:07:40.740
GPU with the power supply yeah you're tonight

05:07:40.740 --> 05:07:44.740
just like look at this

05:07:44.740 --> 05:07:48.740
that's crazy it's hard to tell but

05:07:48.740 --> 05:07:52.740
yeah there you go no I can't get in there

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

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

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

05:08:04.740 --> 05:08:08.740
oh yeah wow that's not bad considering we were like

05:08:08.740 --> 05:08:12.740
17 minutes behind at the beginning on the first one and my last one

05:08:12.740 --> 05:08:16.740
I believe should be good to go alright so I think

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

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

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

05:08:28.740 --> 05:08:32.740
from an M1 grand it's a head turner at work

05:08:32.740 --> 05:08:36.740
I gotta be honest with you guys I haven't customized my ringtone since my

05:08:36.740 --> 05:08:40.740
Samsung Jive I just don't care

05:08:40.740 --> 05:08:44.740
I am running on both of my phones you will see

05:08:44.740 --> 05:08:48.740
this is not a thing I make up I am running whatever

05:08:48.740 --> 05:08:52.740
default wallpaper shipped on them

05:08:52.740 --> 05:08:56.740
other than making sure that all of my icons are organized in groups and are where

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

05:09:00.740 --> 05:09:04.740
an expression of my wallpaper is not an expression of myself

05:09:04.740 --> 05:09:08.740
neither is my ringtone I think one of my favorites was actually

05:09:08.740 --> 05:09:12.740
from a gentleman who used to work here Tyler

05:09:12.740 --> 05:09:16.740
who unfortunately passed away way too early he was taken from us

05:09:16.740 --> 05:09:20.740
and he had crazy frog as his ringtone which

05:09:20.740 --> 05:09:24.740
every once in a while he would forget to mute when we were shooting and

05:09:24.740 --> 05:09:28.740
I could never really be mad about it because it was so funny

05:09:28.740 --> 05:09:32.740
bing bing da ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

05:09:32.740 --> 05:09:36.740
hey oh shit quiet on set

05:09:36.740 --> 05:09:38.740
that's good stuff good old Tyler

05:09:40.740 --> 05:09:44.740
I have not been to Dreamhack Sweden Matthias

05:09:44.740 --> 05:09:48.740
a dinos and land love the channels it's my gateway

05:09:48.740 --> 05:09:52.740
to getting into tech can we get some behind the scenes videos of creator warehouse

05:09:52.740 --> 05:09:56.740
processes and group things since we have Tatiana from CW

05:09:56.740 --> 05:10:00.740
we got some stuff that is up on Floatplane right now oh you can also subscribe

05:10:00.740 --> 05:10:04.740
on youtube members if you don't mind paying more for no reason

05:10:04.740 --> 05:10:08.740
other than just that it's convenient because your credit card is already in the system

05:10:08.740 --> 05:10:12.740
but otherwise go to LMG.gg that's the way to go

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

05:10:16.740 --> 05:10:20.740
would you like to redo for any reason oh man I would imagine

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

05:10:24.740 --> 05:10:28.740
see so many things that I would change about them

05:10:28.740 --> 05:10:32.740
you know more detail here better production value there

05:10:32.740 --> 05:10:36.740
fix my hair here you know like whatever

05:10:36.740 --> 05:10:40.740
right like I like something that I like regret

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

05:10:44.740 --> 05:10:46.740
that hasn't held up I've

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

05:10:52.740 --> 05:10:56.740
that guy bought that house that's one that I I like to bring up

05:10:56.740 --> 05:10:58.740
a bad Linus don't make bold predictions like that

05:11:00.740 --> 05:11:04.740
what else you got let's see thank you and the team for inspiring

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

05:11:08.740 --> 05:11:10.740
marry that girl

05:11:12.740 --> 05:11:14.740
good advice

05:11:16.740 --> 05:11:20.740
really enjoyed the Equinix data center tour did you find anything there set up to be

05:11:20.740 --> 05:11:24.740
applicable to how LTT manages servers and workstations

05:11:24.740 --> 05:11:28.740
so going back to the last one I cannot emphasize enough the importance of finding

05:11:28.740 --> 05:11:32.740
a partner that builds you up rather than that holds you

05:11:32.740 --> 05:11:36.740
down so yeah that was the best advice I could give my

05:11:36.740 --> 05:11:40.740
22 year old self I think

05:11:40.740 --> 05:11:44.740
when did we get married how old even was I maybe 22

05:11:44.740 --> 05:11:48.740
I already knew so 2011 minus

05:11:48.740 --> 05:11:52.740
2006 who can even do math

05:11:52.740 --> 05:11:56.740
I can't do mental math not this late in the day

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

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

05:12:04.740 --> 05:12:08.740
alright fine I'll do it he didn't even have his mic

05:12:08.740 --> 05:12:12.740
hot when he was saying that it's been a long day for all of us

05:12:12.740 --> 05:12:16.740
we were 25 okay yeah that would have been good advice for me at that age

05:12:16.740 --> 05:12:20.740
anyway equinix um no there's like

05:12:20.740 --> 05:12:24.740
there's definitely really cool stuff about their setup but everything that they do

05:12:24.740 --> 05:12:28.740
is done properly and even if

05:12:28.740 --> 05:12:32.740
we could afford to do things properly like they do

05:12:32.740 --> 05:12:36.740
A that's no fun and B it doesn't necessarily make sense for us

05:12:36.740 --> 05:12:40.740
like the number of people that I've seen come at me about

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

05:12:44.740 --> 05:12:48.740
there is no backup for the vault and the reason

05:12:48.740 --> 05:12:52.740
is because we just don't need it that badly we need it

05:12:52.740 --> 05:12:56.740
exactly as much as um

05:12:56.740 --> 05:13:00.740
or like that our willingness to resource into it

05:13:00.740 --> 05:13:04.740
is exactly equal to the effort that we put in

05:13:04.740 --> 05:13:08.740
to make the most affordable

05:13:08.740 --> 05:13:12.740
sensible possible mass storage box that we could

05:13:12.740 --> 05:13:16.740
you know making cool content in mind and no more

05:13:16.740 --> 05:13:20.740
we're not willing to spend money to retain that data it's all finished projects

05:13:20.740 --> 05:13:24.740
shipped projects if we have it it's great it's actually convenient

05:13:24.740 --> 05:13:28.740
and if we don't have it we will keep making videos without it

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

05:13:32.740 --> 05:13:36.740
of archived video on it that we can download at full quality no problem

05:13:36.740 --> 05:13:40.740
so it's very rare that we go back to an old project

05:13:40.740 --> 05:13:44.740
that wasn't in the final cut almost I mean

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

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

05:13:52.740 --> 05:13:56.740
here oh she's gone okay oh yeah

05:13:56.740 --> 05:14:00.740
we're probably getting ready for badminton night let's go it's Tuesday

05:14:00.740 --> 05:14:04.740
wait it's Tuesday wait what time does badminton night start Vaughn

05:14:04.740 --> 05:14:08.740
it started already we're late oh balls

05:14:08.740 --> 05:14:12.740
yeah I didn't realize how late it was cool what was I

05:14:12.740 --> 05:14:16.740
what question was I answering why don't we have backups for the motherboard

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

05:14:20.740 --> 05:14:22.740
that and she was gonna say never

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

05:14:28.740 --> 05:14:32.740
it's often not necessary yeah we don't really need that

05:14:32.740 --> 05:14:36.740
honestly we would have backups if Linus cared

05:14:36.740 --> 05:14:40.740
yeah but I'm not gonna I'm not gonna put money into something and then

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

05:14:44.740 --> 05:14:48.740
well because it's interesting it is actually yeah because it was really

05:14:48.740 --> 05:14:52.740
interesting that was why Wendell contributed a not insignificant amount of time because

05:14:52.740 --> 05:14:56.740
it was a really cool learning experience for what happens if you just allow a

05:14:56.740 --> 05:15:00.740
gigantic ZFS server the rot

05:15:00.740 --> 05:15:04.740
yeah we don't let it rot anymore so that's good we learned something

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

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

05:15:12.740 --> 05:15:16.740
like we do maintenance on it right yep but if we lost it it would have

05:15:16.740 --> 05:15:20.740
zero impact on our business and at the end of the day it comes down to

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

05:15:26.740 --> 05:15:30.740
that's all I got? alright well hey thank you guys so much

05:15:30.740 --> 05:15:34.740
for tuning into suite 16 everyone who bought a system today

05:15:34.740 --> 05:15:38.740
we're going to be making a really nice little charitable

05:15:38.740 --> 05:15:42.740
contribution hopefully this week but maybe

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

05:15:46.740 --> 05:15:50.740
so that'll be going to one of our local food banks I think

05:15:50.740 --> 05:15:54.740
right Jordan? we'll update you guys on Wandshow

05:15:54.740 --> 05:15:58.740
we'll get that loop closed there massive thank you to all of the

05:15:58.740 --> 05:16:02.740
partners who sent over hardware for the stream today and Jawa.gg

05:16:02.740 --> 05:16:06.740
who sponsored the stream today big thanks to all the members of the team who came

05:16:06.740 --> 05:16:10.740
and embarrassed themselves the ones that don't know how to build computers

05:16:10.740 --> 05:16:14.740
the ones that are turning Scroogeberry backwards I'm like I'm listening to you talk

05:16:14.740 --> 05:16:18.740
I can't multitask thanks speaking to people who can't build

05:16:18.740 --> 05:16:22.740
computers you're doing great hey I'm trying yeah massive thanks

05:16:22.740 --> 05:16:24.740
to the production crew today who obviously

05:16:26.740 --> 05:16:30.740
worked hard and of course the most important members of our production crew

05:16:30.740 --> 05:16:34.740
our tireless camera operators who are not even going to be able to give

05:16:34.740 --> 05:16:38.740
me this camera because it's it's tied to them oh yeah

05:16:38.740 --> 05:16:42.740
there you go there's Andy and don't forget about second Andy and all the logistics

05:16:42.740 --> 05:16:46.740

okay see you guys again maybe we'll

05:16:54.740 --> 05:16:58.740
have to do another one we'll have to find some other things to build a bunch of computers they'll begin

05:16:58.740 --> 05:17:00.740
bye
