Two-byte brownies. Is this actually part of the upgrade?
No, just for you. They're not really two-byte.
No. Mmm.
They're cut. I do need one more, though.
It's not going to work, you know. Float-plane extras are just us eating brownies.
I'm going to dig around. I'm going to find everything. Wow. That's a pretty good Wii game collection, too.
I love it. It goes further. It's two layers.
Wow. This is awesome. Definitely not bootleg, this one.
No, that one was just a real slow copy. We have a lot of extras because...
You have two copies of Wii Fit. How fit do you need to be?
Not fit at all, because we don't have the sensor bar here.
We don't have the board anymore. This was my Wii, which I have still the memory card in here for the GameCube games,
but I also homebrewed it. So I had the occasional N64 game on there,
which doesn't matter anymore because of the Nintendo Switch online.
But it's just... Oh, you have to good service Nintendo Switch online.
It feels more right doing it the broken way than doing it the paid way.
There we go. Now we're into action. Dex, baby.
Yeah. You're the only one person I've ever met who actually daily drove this.
Yeah. Because I had an HP NV when I started the university,
go through six years of the university, and then by the end of that, it was just an high five.
Wasn't Envious anymore? No. I was Envious of everyone else.
You know how rich some people are in business school? I would just pull up the file that I would need on the one side,
and I would type out my document for school,
and then I'd have the browser, which we can just launch Chrome on this side.
I almost feel like this would have been a better intro. The Dex user?
He's literally using his phone as his PC.
We've got to save this guy. I mean, it works!
It works. Like, look how long it's going. Like, I got full 60 Hertz.
Yeah. Like, you can't. You can't totally knock it.
When you're desperate, you're desperate. Yeah. And the point of entry was a phone I already had,
and then a monitor I picked up that was just a display unit,
so I even got a deal on that. You know what? I've changed my mind.
I don't even feel bad for you anymore. I don't even think you need a computer. This is great.
Stolen. Merch requested.
Please tell me. That you've at least prepped for this, though.
Did you watch the last build guide you'll ever need? Yeah.
Really? I had to scrub through it to get to the parts that I needed, but for the most part, I tried to take as many notes as possible.
Well then, it shouldn't be a problem.
Do you have the LTT screwdriver? I do.
Yes! I have so many family members wanting this.
Oh, he's talking, not me. Oh, sorry. Do you have a gun?
Since we announced this, I've hyped this up so much for my family members,
so I have about four people waiting to get on the pre-order list.
They have notifications signed up, and everybody else is just in the weeds waiting for it,
so I'm incredibly excited for these.
Well, you can use it today. Oh, okay. Yay. This one's actually final.
This is final ratchet. V3.
I don't understand this. Yeah. This is engineering speak.
It's like doctor writing. Should we put down like a desk pad for safety?
For safety? I don't know. Are you planning to get hurt? I don't know.
Like, are you worried about this or the surface of your desk?
Because this is fine. Okay. I don't believe that you actually did watch the ultimate physical thing,
because then you would know that this goes on top of the box.
I do know that. I'm just scared in general. Do you see how big my fingers are?
Like, this is going to go so wrong. I don't think your fingers are that big.
While you work on SSD and RAM, we've got a 1TB P5 Plus along with 32GB of Crucial Ballistics.
Too bad they don't do ballistics anymore. Right. It was so upsetting.
3,600 megatransit per second. Good stuff. Good pairing.
It's funny. I actually, this is from the office,
because I had a kit of RAM that I got from the Christmas party,
but the one problem was said kit of RAM. Oh my gosh, I need that jerry knife.
The one problem with that was that it was four sticks,
and I wanted ITX all the way. So I don't want to get half the RAM that I won.
So we just kind of just did a mutual little switcheroo.
A stealeroo. iPad Pro is one of those things that I feel like a lot of the people who buy them
don't really have a great justification for needing them,
but for the people who do need them, man, is it ever a cool machine.
Dbrand says, you've got to go over here and Dbrand says,
Dbrand says you need to go to dbrand.com slash how.
Dbrand says you've got to go to their website to see the
Dbrand says you've got to go to their website for the installation instructions.
Instructions? What am I doing? I wasn't even in the right hole.
Oh no. I'm not taking that bait.
Have you managed to install anything yet? Nope.
Are you serious? What are you even doing? I'm putting this back on because I missed the hole.
Don't. Nope.
I'm going to have this whole other computer built by the time you get that computer started.
First of all, that computer comes pre-built, which was also an, oh right, I was kind of thinking like, oh,
should I just go easy and just go pre-built? And then I realized- You'd be the first Intel Extreme Tech Upgrade to just do a pre-built PC.
And then I was thinking about something like, no, because there are actually cases that I've had my eye on since like watching you guys.
I'd kind of love that because then we could just
plop it on and then be done with the day. And then take an early lunch and call it a day.
Right. I think the best thing I can say about the record sound quality is that I can't really tell the difference.
Which is a good sign because sometimes they do get scratched,
they do get indented, or they just have a ton of grime on them.
Yeah. I do have a cleaning kit in here to help prevent that.
Kroof has a much better one, which he's invited me over to to clean these up.
And now we do- Record cleaning party. It really is.
Yeah, yeah. Bring them all, put them in a tote bag, and-
I mean, look, the reality of it is my hobbies are no less stupid.
I mean, that's beat saber. I literally have a launcher for those like model rocket things that you like paint and
start to go to the park with my kids and- What happens when they crash?
You lose them. That's a zero sum hobby.
That's worse than more hammer. Well, one thing that's good about it is when I die, my kids won't have to get rid of my crap
because I'll have lost it already. You know, as a society, that's like a huge problem we have right now is like the boomers and all
the crap that they accumulated and us having nowhere to put it the next generation.
I mean, your record collection is wonderful though. No one will ever be taking it to the thrift store when you're dead.
Hopefully. This got a little awkward.
I am convinced that this whole record thing is a fad and we'll go away.
So that's the thing. Our parents' records are still surviving from the 70s and such.
Yes, but you can only make it one generation.
How many people collect gramophone recordings?
We had one in the family. So technically speaking, we, uh, okay, it exists.
Look, my point is collectibles are like this.
Okay, they've got their brand new value. They go like this when they're just kind of everywhere and old and crappy.
And then they see a resurgence when that generation that owned them as kids has money
and can go and try and relive that nostalgia. And they go and they like skyrocket.
And then those people start to have other priorities in their life.
Eventually they start to die and their kids don't care unless their parents were like super into it.
And then you might see another little hump, but that's it. That's the curve.
You got your value. You got your decline. You got your skyrocket. You got your steep decline.
You got maybe a dead cat bounce and then you're done.
I'm sorry. Essentially a rug pull. Yes.
Eventually everything is worthless.
Sorry, I'm being a bit of a downer.
You know what? No, Matt, your Guardians of the Galaxy awesome mix volume one is probably going to be worth
10 grand for your great grandkids.
And with hyperinflation, like we're experiencing right now,
10 grand might even be worth like a chocolate bar.
I've got better ones that I hope will see some better value in the future.
We've got the Green Day album. Green Day is a classic.
Ever heard of these old guys? No, I haven't. Sorry.
I'm kidding. Kidding, obviously.
Hey Matt.
Yeah. Say hi Flo Plain. Hi Flo Plain.
