1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:08,200
this the pre live stream live stream this is not the real live stream I'm

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:11,400
just getting everything going right now making sure Firefox is my default

3
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:17,840
browser which is a very important thing to do because Firefox is pretty much the

4
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:21,960
bomb I also need to actually open up the Twitch TV chat so that I can sort of

5
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:27,439
monitor what you guys are doing over there set up some monitor ators

6
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:31,720
t.tv Linus Tech I also made the YouTube video a

7
00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:36,360
little bit early this week so I screwed up and it said the live stream is now

8
00:00:34,079 --> 00:00:39,440
and so if anyone actually follows this over here from YouTube then they'll be

9
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:44,039
really disappointed if there's no live stream and I didn't want anyone from

10
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:48,840
YouTube to be disappointed tonight and I don't want anyone from

11
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:54,879

23
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:42,759
segment so what the hey right I mean if

24
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:48,920
you're going to take advice from a guidance counselor then you might as well take advice from

25
00:01:46,719 --> 00:01:52,079
me not that there's anything wrong with being a guidance counselor it's just

26
00:01:50,439 --> 00:01:54,719
like I don't think anyone goes to their guidance counselor's office and they're

27
00:01:53,439 --> 00:01:59,479
like yeah I really want to be a guidance counselor how do you be just like you um

28
00:01:57,719 --> 00:02:04,119
I just I just don't think it happens I mean it might I could be totally wrong I

29
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:09,399
mean shout out to all the guidance counselors in the audience thank you for

30
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:12,840
guiding us I mean I was having a funny conversation with someone um this must

31
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:20,080
have been about it must have been about two days ago and basically I was

32
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:22,480
marveling at the job that I have

33
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:26,120
because uh it wasn't that long ago that YouTube didn't exist I mean I graduated

34
00:02:24,519 --> 00:02:33,000
from high school in 2004 which basically means that YouTube

35
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:37,360
didn't exist yet and I had actually completely forgotten that there was no

36
00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:42,040
YouTube when I was still in school so how could any guidance counselor have

37
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:45,519
told me that I could you know what I'm going to turn off the audio monitoring

38
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:50,080
here because it's driving me crazy I can hear this echo in my head um so I was

39
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:53,280
marveling that no guidance counselor could have ever told me oh yeah you know

40
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:58,080
what you can uh you can be like a YouTube guy as like a job and that can

41
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:03,200
be part of your job or it can be your whole job or it can be can be anything

42
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:07,519
and AO you are right on time because we are just starting actually in five

43
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:11,000

44
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:13,920

45
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,360
going to talk about and then I actually don't talk about it for like 15 minutes

46
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:21,959

47
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,959

00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:08,400
get as many emails from myself as I get from anyone else so I need to tell the

56
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:12,439
story oh crap I don't even remember what story I was telling anymore tell the

57
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:16,400
story about guidance counselors counselors I don't remember

58
00:04:14,799 --> 00:04:20,959
how to spell counselors but it's not autocorrecting me so let's assume that

59
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:25,000
that's right all right sweet so I need to see who all is in the chat here so I

60

can see if I have any moderators tonight oh I've got fuzzy otter balls sweet and

61
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:34,720
I have four moderators what do you guys think is four moderators enough for

62
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:38,880
tonight we had some spam last week and that was pretty obnoxious and I do like

63
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:44,479
to have the chat on fast mode I do prefer that uh need more need more how

64
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:48,840
to be mod this guy is a moderator in the

65
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:52,320
future all right Evo you can be oh no you can't be a moderator I don't even

66
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:56,080

67
00:04:53,880 --> 00:05:00,120
moving too fast it's moving too fast how do I freeze it do you guys hey fuzzy

68
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:03,240
otter balls you guys need other than fast mode and slow mode you need a

69
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:07,160
freeze button so I can just freeze it for a sec unless you have that and I

70
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:11,759

00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:20,120
um okay try try and hit someone here I'm

73
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:23,960
not even getting the option you know what four should be enough four should

74
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:28,720
be enough how many people do we have watching the stream so far wow we've got 500 people watching and the show hasn't

75
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:32,199
even started yet I should do this pre-show thing more often because

76
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,919
apparently you guys will watch even when I'm not doing any kind of a live show I

77
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,280
should just not do a live show at all I should just do a live stream about how

78
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:42,880
I'm not doing a live show tonight maybe that'll be next week can I get some can

79
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:47,440
I get some votes for that idea what do you guys think pretty good pretty cool

80
00:05:45,759 --> 00:05:51,160
all right let me move this uh let's move this twitch Chat thing here I'm going to

81
00:05:49,039 --> 00:05:54,400
move the uh the live stream monitoring thing so that I don't have to look at it

82
00:05:53,160 --> 00:06:02,120
I'm just going to keep it open in the corner there so I can make sure it's actually working so guys I have made

83
00:05:58,319 --> 00:06:03,639
some serious serious upgrades to my

84
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:07,960
setup tonight and I want to tell you all about it in the two minutes leading up

85
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:13,440
to our live stream so number one is I have replaced the headset I was using

86
00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:15,639
before that ancient ass steel series or

87
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:19,800
rather steel series no Sennheiser one I have replaced that with a steel series

88
00:06:17,479 --> 00:06:24,039
7h which I love and the mic is awesome and the headphones are awesome and I

89
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:30,120
have also changed I have found that the best sound card solution is the Zonar u3

90
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:34,039
so this is a little USB sound card that's fantastic I know the audio is

91
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:38,639
cracking I touched the uh I touched the mic if there's some weirdness going on

92
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:43,680
that's why I have I have the cap like propped under it here so that it won't

93
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:49,440
Foo bar itself also I have stopped using my power line connection and I have run

94
00:06:47,039 --> 00:06:54,960
an Ethernet cable from all the way upstairs like through that door over

95
00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:56,840
there upstairs to my switch and I have a

96
00:06:54,960 --> 00:07:01,479
full gigabit connection down here this time so no more Wireless no more power

97
00:06:59,879 --> 00:07:06,120
line I'm in the kitchen so there's a lot of powerful devices going on around here

98
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:09,840
that are that are like they're lined and their power and they're interfering with

99
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:16,680
my powerline network it's just not working for me I'm getting like three and a half megabytes per second um

100
00:07:13,879 --> 00:07:20,560
overall and plus it's recording my live stream that I'm doing here to my Nas at

101
00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:26,960
the same time as I'm streaming it so I think I just don't have the network bandwidth for it so having that gigabit

102
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:29,680
pipe is going to make things so much

103
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:33,280
better and Madness XL says Linus please read this and I did but I didn't see the

104
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:37,440
point because you didn't actually say anything but I think you would see I

105
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:41,680
don't H this is weird uh the mic quality is really not

106
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:47,199
that great yeah I know I know it's not that great but it's better than before

107
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,639
which is important actually we've got my

108
00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:52,639
gear is on its way if you guys are following me on Twitter then you'll

109
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:56,800
probably already know this but uh if you're not following me on Twitter you

110
00:07:53,840 --> 00:08:01,720
should follow me at Linus Tech um that's an at sign like you know Twitter thing

111
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:05,199
at I'm new to Twitter so it's sorry to it's sort of confusing to me like when

112
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,919
I'm reading tweets I'm like something something at Linus Tech but what they

113
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:11,919
actually mean is just something something lineus Tech and it just blows

114
00:08:10,039 --> 00:08:17,879
my mind but uh yeah if you follow me on Twitter then you already know I just

115
00:08:13,319 --> 00:08:22,599
spent 13 Grand yes that's one three with

116
00:08:17,879 --> 00:08:22,599
three more zeros after it on New

117
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:31,640
Gear like yeah it hurts me I I actually got my shipping notification yesterday

118
00:08:29,199 --> 00:08:36,640
so I bought myself an fs700 yes that is an

119

stands um so we are talking some serious

127
00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:15,160
serious upgrading in terms of the quality around here because right now I

128
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:18,560
am using a webcam and I am using this

129
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:20,680
microphone I'm using this sound card and

130
00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:25,079
I'll also be using a desktop to capture all of the all of the video and all of

131
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:29,880
the audio in the future which is I mean I love this MSI notebook I really do

132
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:34,720
it's just it's a notebook and I I heart my my my desktop

133
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:39,320
experience uh the curry was amazing by the way you must follow me on Twitter

134
00:09:37,079 --> 00:09:44,079
whatever your name is I missed it the it's the chat is moving so fast that I

135
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:50,000
can't even do it but uh yes the curry is excellent the uh oh yes see that right

136
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:54,920
there that is where the coconut rice lives see that's my tiger rice cooker

137
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:59,800
and that right there that is where the curry is and you are like so not having

138
00:09:57,079 --> 00:10:03,680
any I am I am so I am so keeping that Curry for myself I'm going to have Curry

139
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:07,480
for breakfast tomorrow it's going to be outstanding and I'm going to I'm going

140
00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:13,360
to I'm going to it's going to hurt me all day you guys are telling me to slow down

141
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:18,480
are you telling me to why don't I stream on my PC that's a fantastic question so

142
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:22,800
I have a new baby at home um he is 5 months old now and he is sleeping this

143
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:28,000
time of night um I know I've been asked quite a few times to adjust the timing

144
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:31,480
of my live streams so that I do them earlier in the day for people who live

145
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:34,839
on the east coast but the problem is that I just got home from work an hour

146
00:10:32,959 --> 00:10:38,880
and a half ago and I knew that I had to figure out this microphone and I had to

147
00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:43,200
figure out that Ethernet cable so if I committed to a start time of 8:00 or 7

148
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:47,760
o'clock my time or anything like that then I would have had a real problem

149
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:52,720
because I wouldn't have made it in time so there you go that's the that's

150
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:56,839
pretty much the deal um you know what I'm I'm going to pause for a second here

151
00:10:54,680 --> 00:11:00,320
I want to check YouTube really quick just to make sure that my link is

152
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:04,880
correct I mean we've got a fair number of people watching the live stream

153
00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:07,399
already but you know it just it never

154
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:12,279
hurts I mean I know I know what community made me big and I I love I

155
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:16,040
love twitch and I love that you know people are following me me on Twitch and

156
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:20,920
that's that's really cool stuff yep he says murder link is fail it looks like I

157
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:27,600
put the wrong Link in my video I do that kind of thing www.

158
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:32,200
twitch oh okay hold on no the link is fine what's he talking about link is

159
00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:36,639
fail I'll show you a fail link I'll copy and paste it back in just in case I

160
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:40,600
screwed it up the first time there we go all right but yeah so I I hope that some

161
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:44,839
of you twitchers are are starting to follow along here and I know that I need

162
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:50,120
to do more like gaming Hardware type of Q&A otherwise there's zero justification

163
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:53,519
for having me on this website whatsoever but uh there's just so much stuff that

164
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:58,000
people are asking that's not really that related to that I will be taking

165
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:02,560
questions on Twitter tonight by the way guys I know that not all of you like

166
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:06,959
Twitter and um yeah there's just not a whole lot I

167
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:10,839
can do about that because Twitter is one of the most convenient ways for me to

168
00:12:08,639 --> 00:12:15,519
manage incoming questions because I can control how quickly they come in whereas

169
00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:23,680
the twitch chat is is pretty difficult for me to uh for me to for me to monitor

170
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:26,720
I mean stuff's coming in so so fast um

171
00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:27,639
milova army says you have an sv650 I do

172
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:34,199
I have an sv650s and I am super duper disappointed

173
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:38,360
because my insurance ran out today so today was my last day to ride it and I

174
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:43,959
wasn't able to ride it because I was too tired this morning and uh it's not safe

175
00:12:41,199 --> 00:12:43,959
to ride if you're

176
00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:49,800
tired yeah so that that again yeah that

177
00:12:48,279 --> 00:12:53,399
was that was super disappointing to me and I I'm having a hard time signing

178
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:56,600
into Twitter over here so I'm going to have to go find myself a browser where

179
00:12:55,040 --> 00:13:03,959
I'm already signed into to Twitter and I'll I'll try using that one uh

180
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:08,160
uh maybe if I hadn't talked so much during the part of this pre-live stream

181
00:13:06,519 --> 00:13:13,880
thing where I wasn't supposed to be talking so much maybe if I hadn't done that I would

182
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:19,000
be ready by the time the live stream was actually rolling let's see oh okay good

183
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:23,199
good good good good I think it's open in Firefox okay let's put where's my

184
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:30,240
where's my Firefox where's my Firefox where's my Twitter come

185
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:31,880
on need my Twitter there we go yes

186
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:36,000
I have Twitter now I was going to have Twitter open in uh in Safari just to

187
00:13:34,639 --> 00:13:40,079
troll you guys and I was going to see if anyone noticed but uh it looks like

188
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:44,399
we're just going to stick with good old good old Firefox pretty much the best

189
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:47,399
browser ever um it crashes on me all the time but it's still better than

190
00:13:45,399 --> 00:13:52,079
everything else so that should tell you what I think of pretty much everything

191
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,880
else there is out there uh show us your

192
00:13:52,079 --> 00:13:59,600
baby my baby's in one of the videos that I've done so far

193
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:01,040
and um yeah he's I think he's cute I

194
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:04,880
tweet pictures of him every once in a while I think I was saying something about Twitter yes I'll be taking

195
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:09,440
questions predominantly on Twitter predominantly like this so that that

196
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:12,440
will be the main way of us of us handling questions here

197
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:19,440
tonight okay so let's kick this off let's start with my thing about guidance

198
00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:22,839
counselors so I was I was marveling to to a friend that actually two things I

199
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:26,800
was marveling to a friend about that thing I talked about last week where um

200
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:30,880
kids today aren't going to know how to get anywhere because they're just going to rely on GPS for everything and we

201
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:34,920
were talking about just how fast the world's changing and I mean it's it's

202
00:14:33,279 --> 00:14:37,800
crazy but it's almost been 10 years since I was in high school and I don't

203
00:14:36,399 --> 00:14:44,160
really I don't really feel that much older but here I am I've been at a job

204
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:46,320
like in a career for six seven years now

205
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:51,839
um I have a baby I'm married I've bought a house so life is life is kind of just

206
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:57,720
going like this right and uh so yeah so YouTube didn't start till 2004 and I

207
00:14:54,399 --> 00:15:00,399
graduated in 2004 which basically means

208
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:02,759
that um when I sat down and I was talking to my guidance counselor we

209
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:09,560
talked about a lot of things we talked about you know at the time I wanted to be a teacher or um you know I wanted to

210
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:13,480
get like a science degree and then I wanted to just kind of figure out what I

211
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:17,639
could do with that and I think the challenge that a lot of people who get

212
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:22,720
Science degrees run into is that they discover that really lab work um

213
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:25,240
continuing education I can't hear you people are saying they can't hear me

214
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:29,079
everyone else says it's fine so we're going to go with it's fine um lab work

215
00:15:27,639 --> 00:15:33,199
they go with continuing education they get their master's degree and or they or

216
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:37,800
they go all the way to get their PHD and then they become professors which is

217
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:42,120
basically just teacher again and um I wasn't really very good at school and uh

218
00:15:40,519 --> 00:15:47,079
anyway so okay so we're talking to right we're talking to the guidance counselor I'm all over the place tonight so I'm

219
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:51,959
talking to him we're talking about being a teacher so really the only options

220
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:56,160
back then if you wanted to be like U like you know a TV star or something I

221
00:15:53,560 --> 00:16:01,480
mean reality TV was was around but it was very very limited um wasn't like it

222
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:04,720
is today there's no such thing as a Kim Kardashian there wasn't someone who was

223
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:09,560
you know like a Paris Hilton where they're a a socialite like that's their

224
00:16:06,959 --> 00:16:15,839
that's their job description um so there was no way you know 8 nine 10 years ago

225
00:16:13,319 --> 00:16:21,240
um eight years ago I guess that anyone could have advised me that this would

226
00:16:18,519 --> 00:16:24,639
exist I mean never mind the the new setup I'm getting which is going to

227
00:16:22,519 --> 00:16:29,120
allow us to do a fairly high production value live show on a weekly basis or

228
00:16:27,319 --> 00:16:35,279
more than weekly basis or whatever we end up doing the ability to broadcast

229
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:40,959
basically almost I mean what then would have been TV grade quality stuff on an

230
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:45,279
on a com on a consumer internet connection uh from your house with like

231
00:16:43,839 --> 00:16:50,160
I mean really in the grand scheme of things yes I just spent $133,000 on

232
00:16:47,399 --> 00:16:55,880
equipment that's nothing compared to what that would have cost 10 years ago

233
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:59,240
nothing and uh so so yeah no one's been a chance I mean these these careers are

234
00:16:57,959 --> 00:17:04,480
just popping up I was talking to my friend's dad he was like yeah when I was

235
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:05,880
a kid uh living on the island you had uh

236
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:09,720
you had a couple choices when you graduated high school you were going to

237
00:17:07,559 --> 00:17:12,640
work in the mill for 40 years or you were going to work uh on the boats for

238
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:18,240
40 years everything is so different now

239
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:22,679
totally totally different um so yeah I think that's uh I think that's pretty

240
00:17:20,199 --> 00:17:26,400
cool so speaking of guidance counselors my first topic tonight is uh people

241
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:30,559
someone asked I forget who requested this on Twitter but someone asked me to

242
00:17:28,559 --> 00:17:34,880
do something online as career tips talk about the various careers and jobs that

243
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:37,880
are available in computers and it now I'm not going to talk about programming

244
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:41,880
I'm not going to talk about any of the professional stuff because I believe the

245
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:46,200
context he was asking this in was along the lines of what I do so I started as a

246
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:50,440
retail sales rep um as a retail sales rep you know what you can actually do

247
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:56,000
okay especially if you're knowledgeable I mean what I the approach I always took

248
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:58,080
was yeah I upsold people I always upsell

249
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:02,440
people because I actually genuinely believe no nobody should buy a TN

250
00:17:59,919 --> 00:18:07,240
monitor I genuinely believe nobody should buy a video card for less than

251
00:18:03,919 --> 00:18:10,039
$100 or like $89.99 when it's on promo

252
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:14,320
because the stuff that is under those under those price points is not good

253
00:18:12,159 --> 00:18:20,720
they're not going to be happy with it um so if you are truly enthusiastic I think

254
00:18:17,799 --> 00:18:25,280
that sales is easy I think that if you are really a car Enthusiast and you love

255
00:18:22,919 --> 00:18:28,799
the cars and in your free time you come into the dealership and you drive all

256
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:33,120
the cars so that you are knowledgeable you're educated and you can inform

257
00:18:30,919 --> 00:18:37,240
customers then you can actually do okay I mean as a retail sales rep at NC I

258
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:41,200
actually did better than I did for my first year after I transferred to head

259
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:44,280
office um the other one is Tech work Tech work is really challenging though

260
00:18:42,799 --> 00:18:49,280
because there's a variety of different things available I mean is there anyone

261
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:51,960
in the audience who is a Best Buy Geek

262
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:55,159
Squad member I'm going to wait I'm going to wait for the leg I'm going to see if

263
00:18:53,640 --> 00:19:00,720
anyone out there is a Best Buy Geek Squad member and tell us is it tough

264
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:09,080
no no me killer killer clown says says he is so there's there's a couple

265
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:14,080
different kinds of actually there's a lot of different ways you can do Tech you can do freelance so you can try

266
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:18,440
putting up like flyers everywhere and getting people to come and uh and bring

267
00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:21,200
their computers to you for for for fixing and you know what you can

268
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:24,520
actually make a pretty good hourly rate but it's really hard to find clients if

269
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:30,799
you go to a bigger chain like someone like a Best Buy you can end up working in the store where you you get people

270
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:36,600
bringing in things like I mean honestly slick used to work at Best Buy as a tech

271
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:41,200
and the stories he tells I'm just

272
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:43,120
like what I mean he he one of the other

273
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:48,039
texts there actually advised the customer I forget the context of it but

274
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:49,799
advised a customer if he was going to if

275
00:19:48,039 --> 00:19:53,159
he wanted to remove the screen on his laptop I don't even remember why the

276
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:56,280
customer wanted to do this but if he was going to do that he could just saw it

277
00:19:54,520 --> 00:20:00,440
off and then there'd be a way to connect it and that's the kind of that's the

278
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:03,320
kind of ludicrous stuff that goes on there and then if you're one of the

279
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:07,280
mobile guys then you're then you're mobile so so basically if you're

280
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:10,520
freelance and you can get enough clients yeah you can do okay whereas if you join

281
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:15,080
one of those bigger chains they're going to try and pay you an hourly rate they're going to try and not give you a

282
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:18,000
ton of commission um something like NCI is somewhere in the middle where you

283
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:22,320
have enough clients you do get a decent Commission on everything you do and you

284
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:25,840
can make a decent living at it but if you're not willing to teach yourself it

285
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:30,159
comes down to the same thing as sales if you're not willing to read an antech

286
00:20:27,919 --> 00:20:33,280
Tom's Hardware hardocp whatever sites you like whatever forums go to Hardware

287
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:38,480
connects if you're not willing to do it every day and help people and learn and

288
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:41,720
see what works and see what doesn't work then you'll be a total failure at it

289
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:47,880
back up the mic from my mouth okay there you go you guys good you cool um right

290
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:51,440
so so I did some sales I did a very small amount of tech they they didn't

291
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:55,720
want me doing Tech because I was really good at sales I was always selling like

292
00:20:53,159 --> 00:20:59,080
these massive systems that had like dual graphics cards and stuff cuz I I

293
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:03,080
believed in this stuff I was like yeah stuff's cool you should totally buy it

294
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:06,280
so that I can build it for you and play with it before I give it to you I mean

295
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:11,480
that was that was the kind of guy I was right so um right so I mean you can

296
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:15,039
store manager um for store manager I'd say it's a totally different skill set

297
00:21:13,279 --> 00:21:19,080
because you don't actually necessarily need to know anything about the

298
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:22,640
technology a good manager can manage anything I believe that's true the same

299
00:21:20,919 --> 00:21:26,840
way that I believe a good salesman can sell anything however the overlap

300
00:21:24,919 --> 00:21:31,440
between good salespeople like salespeople by nature and and guys who

301
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:35,279
are super into technology Enthusiast guys is actually not that big I mean

302
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:40,520
correct me if I'm wrong here guys but aren't we mostly a little bit introverted we mostly like to to be at

303
00:21:38,799 --> 00:21:45,240
home on a Friday night I mean it's Friday night you guys are watching me so

304
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:47,919
I think we all know the answer to that

305
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:51,919
um so the way to succeed I think from that sales role or that Tech role is to

306
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:56,720
be that true Enthusiast who's really really trying to learn and really trying

307
00:21:53,200 --> 00:22:00,000
to be passionate I mean I never uh I

308
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:04,679
never took a course for computer stuff I

309
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:06,679
just read and read and read all day all

310
00:22:04,679 --> 00:22:12,480
night I'd be up till who knows in the morning uh reading every forum and every

311
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:15,679
review so even if I hadn't laid hands on a current generation motherboard I could

312
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:19,960
tell you how to overclock it I could tell you what CPUs were optimized for it

313
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,360
I could tell you what RAM Works what RAM doesn't work that's the only way you're

314
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:26,039
ever going to succeed okay moving right along uh

315
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:29,640
people who want to do this on the side you know I have a lot of people whether

316
00:22:27,919 --> 00:22:33,559
it's posting on on the NCI Forum or whether it's messaging me they tell me

317
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:37,679
lonus I want to like build computers for people and uh you know I want to like

318
00:22:35,559 --> 00:22:40,720
buy the parts at the local store and you know get a relationship with them so I

319
00:22:39,279 --> 00:22:43,960
get a good deal and then I want to build it for someone and then I want to make a

320
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:47,720
couple bucks and I always tell these people the same thing and I I feel bad

321
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:53,039
because it's bad news and I don't like giving people bad news

322
00:22:50,559 --> 00:22:56,799
but the reality of it is there is no money in it I mean I don't know if you

323
00:22:54,880 --> 00:23:02,360
guys know this or if you understand this but in the IT industry on a board

324
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,720
there's no profit so the best discount

325
00:23:02,360 --> 00:23:07,279
like the best deal you're going to get from whatever store you're working with

326
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:12,520
is probably a couple perc off and when we're talking something that costs $200

327
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:15,520
we're talking like $5 maybe $10 if

328
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:19,520
you're really persistent off of off off

329
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:21,200
of a sticker price okay so then how much

330
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:25,400
can you charge someone to assemble a PC for them I mean usually uh I mean NC

331
00:23:23,919 --> 00:23:31,200
charges 50 bucks and they throw in a one-year warranty let me tell you if you

332
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:34,200
have One support issue with that PC that

333
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:36,679
50 bucks is gone it's gone you just have

334
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:41,840
to be sure that everything you sell is going to not come back um so yes okay so

335
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:46,880
there's no money in assembling it because you know guys like HP or those

336
00:23:44,039 --> 00:23:49,679
those those those big box guys are just you know building these things on

337
00:23:47,919 --> 00:23:54,679
assembly lines like this how you going to compete with that and then you got stores like an NC or you've got guys

338
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:59,279
like an IB power who are assembling the PCS with a production system behind it

339
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:03,440
so that it costs them very little to do um so there's no money there either the

340
00:24:01,919 --> 00:24:06,799
the recommendation I give to these people is if you're still in high school

341
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:11,200
and you're just looking to like make five bucks on the side or 10 bucks here

342
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:14,640
and there and you're looking to uh do it as a hobby where you're you know you're

343
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:18,000
helping people you're letting people come to you and you're just kind of

344
00:24:16,559 --> 00:24:21,640
being like yeah you know hey let me let me assemble it for you I'll you can take

345
00:24:19,799 --> 00:24:24,840
a couple bucks for Consulting with them and helping them get better value out of

346
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:30,320
the system I mean that was one of the things I always love doing people would bring me these computers and they'd be

347
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:34,000
like spending $2,000 and I'd look at it and I'd go you're buying an extreme

348
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:37,960
Edition your computer costs $2,000 that is a terrible value you

349
00:24:36,559 --> 00:24:42,200
shouldn't be buying an extreme addition unless your computer costs $5,000

350
00:24:40,039 --> 00:24:46,159
otherwise the balance is completely out of whack it's not right you need to be

351
00:24:44,360 --> 00:24:49,360
spending Less on your CPU and you need to you need to amp up your graphics card

352
00:24:48,159 --> 00:24:53,880
performance in order to make a more balanced rig so I'd go I'd do a couple

353
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:57,600
things sometimes I'd get them the same performance and I'd lower the price by a

354
00:24:55,559 --> 00:25:01,880
little bit or other times I'd go look you're spending this much money let me

355
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:05,720
help you let me get you 20% 30% better performance and uh so if you're able to

356
00:25:04,279 --> 00:25:10,720
do that as someone who's doing this on the side then that's one of the ways that you can distinguish yourself as

357
00:25:08,919 --> 00:25:15,080
well again it's not going to work without super hard work and researching

358
00:25:13,159 --> 00:25:19,320
everything you have to be sure because One support call will cost you anything

359
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:24,440
you could have possibly made on that transaction um oh yeah this was this was

360
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:29,039
an idea I had oh crap you know what I'm totally going to bail on you guys for a

361
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:32,200
second so let's um let's let's put up

362
00:25:29,039 --> 00:25:33,880
like I don't know the Twitter feed or

363
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:37,640
something I'll be back in like one moment and there's no one behind you why

364
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:43,240
do people keep asking me this it's a window crying out loud see it's me see

365
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:47,799
the ARM see the ARM behind me it's me calm down just a sec

366
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,360
okay so for those of you who do want to do a little bit of tech work on the side

367
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:21,480
you know don't let me be too discouraging because if you're doing it for the fun then you can always do

368
00:26:19,039 --> 00:26:25,640
things for fun all right so I wanted to do a little thing called what to keep in

369
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:32,000
your Tech bag and I thought I'd bring out my own backpack yes that is a

370
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:34,840
Windows Vista backpack so just deal with

371
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:39,600
it I happened to like Windows Vista I think it's good I think Windows 7 is

372
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:43,919
really not that different all right so number one I have a tablet in my bag

373
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:47,720
tablets are handy because if you need to be looking something up or doing

374
00:26:46,360 --> 00:26:51,919
something other than the computer you're working on you can't rely on the

375
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:54,720
computer you're working on in order to you know uh give you instructions for

376
00:26:53,520 --> 00:27:00,520
something I mean if even if you're working on a computer for someone don't be afraid to just Google it and uh and

377
00:26:58,360 --> 00:27:04,760
get help because no one can remember absolutely everything so uh so a tablet

378
00:27:03,159 --> 00:27:07,919
is huge because that way you can be referring to that while you uh while

379
00:27:06,919 --> 00:27:14,880
you're doing something else on the computer even if it's rebooting or even if it has like serious problems and it's

380
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:17,080
like super bogged down and slow uh okay

381
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:20,640
let's go into the other bag here what else we got in here oh okay these are my

382
00:27:18,799 --> 00:27:24,480
shoes don't worry about that that's that's not normally in there I had my

383
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:28,679
shoes in my bag because I was uh I was riding my bike to that to that social

384
00:27:26,120 --> 00:27:32,320
media conference and uh so I I had to wear my riding boots okay

385
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:37,559
I keep a camera in mind that's not necessarily necessary for you however I

386
00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:40,559
mean something kind of cool that uh that I used to do when I was painting houses

387
00:27:39,159 --> 00:27:44,799
is I always take a before and after picture never hurts to have a proper

388
00:27:42,360 --> 00:27:49,840
camera on you lots of lots of folks you know are big into oh yeah my phone's got

389
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:56,000
like eight megapixels and blah blah blah but the reality of it is image quality

390
00:27:52,799 --> 00:27:58,640
okay image quality is about light it's

391
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:03,279
simple physics the more surface area on the sensor and the

392
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:07,840
bigger the Optics the better the image it's not about megapixels so you can

393
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:13,799
take that to the bank all right putting aside my camera

394
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:18,120
what else we got in here okay I always keep a couple spare components in this

395
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:23,120
case I've got more than enough but uh you know I'll always keep a stick or two

396
00:28:20,120 --> 00:28:25,559
of RAM um you know like a crappy video

397
00:28:23,120 --> 00:28:30,200
card a crappy Nick you should always have a crappy inter uh Network work hard

398
00:28:28,679 --> 00:28:34,120
because you never know when you're going to run into some stupid issue where

399
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:39,080
you're trying to download like an antivirus and their Nick is dead and

400
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:44,120
they don't have another computer you can't download new drivers um total

401
00:28:42,159 --> 00:28:46,720
total disaster you always want to make sure that you're connected and that's

402
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:49,559
one of the things that the tablet will help with as well so a little bit of

403
00:28:48,279 --> 00:28:55,000
spare Hardware maybe you don't keep it in your backpack but keep it somewhere

404
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:57,240
close by uh ah yes if you guys watch my

405
00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:01,640
show you'll know the iconic screwdriver always have a screwdriver driver always

406
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:07,679
have ah this in the end of my screwdriver I keep five things I know

407
00:29:05,039 --> 00:29:12,760
there are exactly five I have a slote head okay I have a standard Robertson

408
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:16,720
this comes in handy all the time not for computers mind you I have a really

409
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:20,760
skinny Phillips head and it's not focusing on this but whatever you get

410
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:26,880
the point I have a really wide Phillips head okay so more torque for uh for

411
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:30,120
strip screws stuff like that and I keep

412
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:32,200
a very strong needle I keep a needle in

413
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:36,480
here because needles are useful for all kinds of stuff whether it's you know

414
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:40,600
pulling pins out of a Molex connector or whether it's just like poking at

415
00:29:38,399 --> 00:29:43,880
something to get some dust out of it you know like maybe there's some Gunk stuck

416
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:49,000
in a connector you got to get it out of there always keep a needle on you very

417
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:53,080
very important um and then of course my standard phillips head which is the one

418
00:29:50,399 --> 00:29:56,440
that I keep loaded at all times and I get asked a lot what screwdriver is this

419
00:29:54,679 --> 00:30:00,600
this is a Snap-On ratcheting screwdriver it costs about 100 bucks ailable in a

420
00:29:58,519 --> 00:30:03,880
wide variety of colors I didn't pay $100 for it it was a gift I would never pay

421
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:09,159
$100 for a screwdriver CU I'm totally cheap but um whatever needl noose pliers

422
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:14,320
if you don't have needlenose pliers in your Tech bag then you suck give up

423
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:18,919
don't bother anymore uh the same goes for uh where are my uh where are they y

424
00:30:17,279 --> 00:30:24,159
here we go okay cut offs these are great for

425
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:27,640
cutting off zip ties you need to have these you must have these if you don't

426
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:31,120
have these you suck get get them they're cheap you can get them at the dollar

427
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:34,279
store okay this is not related this is my battery case for my iPhone that

428
00:30:32,519 --> 00:30:38,799
doesn't work anymore because you know what I'm I'm putting that in as a topic

429
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:43,159
later I hate micro USB micro USB is the stupidest connector that ever existed

430
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:46,480
micro USB I hate it I'm putting that in as a topic right now we're going to talk

431
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:50,279
about that later okay what else we got in here I always keep an extra SLI

432
00:30:48,399 --> 00:30:54,720
Bridge because you never know you might be working on a high-end computer you

433
00:30:52,080 --> 00:31:00,159
might I have seen defective SLI Bridges cause all kinds of weird crap ah adapter

434
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:04,559
if you don't keep adapters in your Tech bag you suck because you will never

435
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:10,240
succeed if you don't have adapters where's my DVI to VGA

436
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:14,559
adapter okay apparently I suck because I don't think I have it right now but

437
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:18,880
normally I have a DVI to VGA adapter I have a mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter

438
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:23,799
I have an HDMI to DVI adapter if you want to get yourself the best kind of

439
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:25,960
HDMI to DVI adapter get the kind that

440
00:31:23,799 --> 00:31:31,399
has the analog pinouts even though they don't do anything because otherwise

441
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:35,480
DVI cables will not plug into it so there's ones that don't have those

442
00:31:33,039 --> 00:31:39,720
analog pins holes even though they're not connected to anything and you

443
00:31:36,919 --> 00:31:44,120
physically can't plug it in stupid it's ridiculous um right always have a set of

444
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:48,399
Jeweler screwdrivers because you never know when those are going to come in handy to get in somewhere tight I mean

445
00:31:46,799 --> 00:31:52,120
even just a standard phillips head one just if you have to like kind of get in

446
00:31:49,799 --> 00:31:57,080
somewhere and screw something in very very very handy I keep a three-way SLI

447
00:31:55,120 --> 00:32:00,399
bridge but not everyone not everyone's going to run into that all the time I I

448
00:31:58,799 --> 00:32:04,120
encounter that more often than most card reader always have a card reader always

449
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:07,559
always always uh I have an adapter here because

450
00:32:06,559 --> 00:32:13,279
you never know when one of these will come in handy this is a single three pin to dual three pin adapter it's great for

451
00:32:11,399 --> 00:32:16,320
plugging in more fans than you otherwise have another card reader this one does

452
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:21,600
compact flash as well those are both usb3 card readers because I'm a baller

453
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:25,320
uh more SLI Bridges this is this is not necessary but different lengths of SLI

454
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:29,399
Bridges might come in handy this is yet another screwdriver this one has torqus

455
00:32:27,039 --> 00:32:33,880
though um if you do any water cooling you might run into a need for Torx if

456
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:36,919
you ever have to remove um modern video cards some of them are using stupid

457
00:32:35,159 --> 00:32:40,200
torque screws because manufacturers apparently don't want you removing the

458
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:43,880
stock heat sinks um so yeah you should have that Allen Keys always have Allen

459
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:50,600
Keys you never know when an allen key is going to come in handy aha this is a

460
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:53,000
good one Molex teda power adapter keep

461
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:56,840
these on you at all times because you never know when someone's going to give

462
00:32:54,639 --> 00:33:00,440
you a simple simple job like install a hard drive for me you show up at the job

463
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:04,360
you're like yeah cool I'll install a hard drive for you no big deal and you're you're laughing to yourself

464
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:10,159
because you're like yeah it's gonna take like five minutes and then they don't have any

465
00:33:08,399 --> 00:33:15,240
extra SATA connectors on their power supply and you're like

466
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:19,039
no keep one of these on you very important actually you should probably

467
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:22,080
also have a dual MOX to PCIe adapter as well that's one of the things I don't

468
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:24,840
have in here I always keep a couple of water cooling barbs on me because I

469
00:33:23,519 --> 00:33:30,360
never know when I'm going to be one short I always keep aha this is a cple

470
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:33,480
different things here we go okay I always have a bunch of SD cards on me

471
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:38,080
but I'm like a YouTuber so that's more relevant for me than it is for you uh

472
00:33:35,919 --> 00:33:42,320
and I always keep a variety of USBS on me okay so these two have mostly the

473
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:47,600
same crap this is all my benchmarking utilities all my diagnostic utilities um

474
00:33:45,799 --> 00:33:50,440
this one doesn't work in usb3 ports anymore for some reason so this is kind

475
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:54,799
of my replacement for that one I'm in transition right now though I'm in

476
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:57,919
transition um and never trust a USB drive always make sure that you have it

477
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:01,960
set to sync when you plug it into your master computer this guy right here is

478
00:34:00,279 --> 00:34:04,960
cool because it has a variety of different Windows operating systems on

479
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:08,720
it just pull them off the disc I did a guide on this on the NCI Tech tips

480
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:12,839
channel so I keep them in folders you just pull everything out into the folder

481
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:15,520
put it into the rout you install off USB it's really really fast so if you ever

482
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:19,320
have to reformat an OS you're going to save yourself at least half an hour if

483
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:23,720
you have a USB drive with all the relevant Windows os's already in there

484
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:28,159
ah this is a specific tool you need to get yourselves one of these this is a

485
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:31,760
motherboard standoff screwdriver so it's kind looks kind of like a jeweler

486
00:34:29,159 --> 00:34:36,040
screwdriver super super handy you want one of

487
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:37,800
these okay um I have a badminton racket

488
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:41,159
grip but that might not be relevant to everyone and I think that pretty much oh

489
00:34:39,720 --> 00:34:44,119
yes business cards make sure you always have business cards in your bag because

490
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:48,240
if you don't have business cards and you suck because no one will remember you

491
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:52,679
unless you like show up in a clown hat oh yes and remember the best kind of

492
00:34:50,599 --> 00:34:54,760
nerd food is fast nerd food always carry a

493
00:34:55,240 --> 00:35:02,320
fork so there that is my segment on what

494
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:03,880
is in my bag um and my bag is extremely

495
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:14,000
deep this bag can hold anything oh look rumble's visiting us come here sweetheart come here baby oh there he

496
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:16,440
goes say hi everybody say hi say hi say

497
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:22,200
hi to everyone you're not going to say hi can you yell at them can you show

498
00:35:19,240 --> 00:35:25,680
them how you yell hey there you go

499
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:32,839
sweetheart can you show them how you talk come here Rumble

500
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:44,200
Rumble can you talk for them he's not going to talk for you well he did it

501
00:35:41,599 --> 00:35:47,839
once he did it once so what a good boy see say hi everyone do you guys want to

502
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:52,200
know what I think is the most beautiful thing about this cat it's the imperfections that make them special if

503
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:57,720
you guys are watching an HD you'll be able to see that in this eye right here

504
00:35:54,680 --> 00:36:00,119
he has what's kind of a a weird spider

505
00:35:57,720 --> 00:36:04,920
web thing going on it crosses his pupil vet says it's fine and it's he's fine

506
00:36:02,119 --> 00:36:08,440
and it doesn't hurt him and it's uh and uh you know you can remove it for

507
00:36:06,359 --> 00:36:13,920
Aesthetics but I think it makes him more beautiful because he's my little man and

508
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:18,160
maybe he'll visit with us for a little bit all right so why don't we do a

509
00:36:16,319 --> 00:36:23,400
little bit of Q&A for a bit I know we're half an hour into the show and uh L this

510
00:36:21,359 --> 00:36:29,440
uses fake meow it's not very effective excellent love that um

511
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:34,960
oh I think I bet you guys can hear him purring he's uh see he's he he'll grab

512
00:36:32,359 --> 00:36:38,800
my he'll grab my ARM here show them how you grab my

513
00:36:36,079 --> 00:36:45,800
hand there you go see see him grab my hand so cute my sweetheart okay actually

514
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:49,720
you can get down now uh where where we going with that it's been 30 minutes

515
00:36:48,240 --> 00:36:52,920
yeah it's been 30 minutes I know right so let's do yeah let's do some Q&A I

516
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:57,119
haven't been any Q&A yet so we're going to head over to Twitter and uh see if we

517
00:36:55,800 --> 00:37:03,200
can see if we can chat things up a little bit here let get this zoomed in a little bit

518
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:07,440
so you guys can actually see what the hey we're talking about no trusty video

519
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:10,920
card in my bag no I don't have a video card in my bag although normally I would

520
00:37:09,319 --> 00:37:16,680
I don't do nearly as much Tech work as I used to all right slanted pillow asks I

521
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:21,440
want to upgrade my RAM eight or 16 gig when is 16 gigs needed there are very

522
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:26,400
few people that need 16 gigs today gamers are not one set of those people

523
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:31,160
people who do 3D rendering people who do video editing with After Effects they

524
00:37:28,839 --> 00:37:36,560
need 16 gigs so actually this RAM that's in my backpack here is to upgrade the

525
00:37:33,839 --> 00:37:40,440
rendering machine that diesel has said that we really need more RAM in so we're

526
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:46,800
going to throw 32 gigs of RAM at the problem and see if that takes care of

527
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:50,880
everything uh okay moving right along

528
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:52,760
Linus GTX 590 or 680 if a 590 is cheaper

529
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:56,800
I'm personally going for a 590 but the reason is that I already have a water

530
00:37:54,280 --> 00:38:00,960
block for it if I was going to choose between the two and they were similar in

531
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:05,480
price I would go with the 680 it is much more power efficient and it kicks out a

532
00:38:02,599 --> 00:38:10,280
lot less heat into your room um so yeah performance is going to be better on the

533
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:13,280
590 bear that in mind but heat is an

534
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:15,480
issue especially in the summer lus your

535
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:22,079
sound is worse it is not everyone else says it's better who says that Ethan sck

536
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:25,920
I'm sorry I'm sorry Ethan but you're doing it wrong actually I don't know it

537
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:31,520
could be could be to do with anything I yeah I don't know

538
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:33,760
all right hi Linus I know you say any

539
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:37,640
sound card is better than none but is there any sub $100 value sound card

540
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:42,240
you'd recommend you know what actually there is let's go ahead let's go to full

541
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:47,280
screen here and we're going to go nci.com because that's the place I work

542
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:51,800
and we're going to search for ASUS Zonar this is how I shop for sound cards I put

543
00:38:49,079 --> 00:38:55,520
in ASUS Zonar and then I find the price I want to go for I find the one that

544
00:38:53,960 --> 00:39:01,480
falls in that price and has a headphone amp and then I buy it so let's search

545
00:38:58,359 --> 00:39:03,560
for yeah there it is the dgx if you're

546
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:07,040
going to use headphones you want a dgx if you're not going to use headphones

547
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:11,960
you want something like a D1 it doesn't matter neas Zonar is a good sound card

548
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:16,839
so don't worry too much about it uh jarus what is your opinion of

549
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:19,960
braided cables sold by manufacturers for their modular power supplies are they

550
00:39:18,319 --> 00:39:25,480
worth it absolutely not they're not worth it at all they're worth it only if

551
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:27,880
you want the aesthetic of the of the

552
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:31,520
aftermarket cables I mean that's pretty much it this is a purely aesthetic thing

553
00:39:29,599 --> 00:39:35,200
there is no performance benefit to it whatsoever if anything if I think you're

554
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:40,160
talking about those individually sleeve cables if anything individually sleeved

555
00:39:37,079 --> 00:39:44,319
cables are are less effective for your

556
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:47,119
airf flow um than than a massively just

557
00:39:44,319 --> 00:39:50,680
single sleeved uh single sleeved Bunch because it actually splits it up and

558
00:39:48,319 --> 00:39:54,960
makes the cables more bulky so I personally like the look I'm I'm double

559
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:58,119
sleeving my CBL so I'm not doing every individual wire but I'm doing every two

560
00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:01,800
with one sleeve and uh to me it's it has a value but not

561
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:08,280
to everyone Donald oh man Donald my PSU

562
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:13,079
popped what are the chance my other components got overloaded you know what

563
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:17,079
these days less likely especially guys like Gigabyte build a lot of fail safes

564
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:21,880
into their motherboards to keep surges from spreading too far but it could have

565
00:40:20,119 --> 00:40:25,880
happened the only way to know for sure plug in a new power supply and find out

566
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:30,760
what happens if the uh if the magic Blue Smoke Gets released from your Hardware

567
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,760
then you'll

568
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:36,880
know Tim which is better for radiators

569
00:40:35,079 --> 00:40:42,599
if you only have room for one set of fans push or pull for performance it

570
00:40:40,359 --> 00:40:46,760
actually doesn't make a difference um for performance it's pretty much

571
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:52,560
identical it's been tested time and time again um however I always use pull if I

572
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:57,920
can and the reason for that is if you have a radiator here and you have fans

573
00:40:54,760 --> 00:41:00,119
pushing this way the dust accumulates

574
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:04,560
under the blades of the fan on the radiator fins it's very hard to clean

575
00:41:02,720 --> 00:41:08,960
especially if you get any buildup if you're pulling air through the radiator

576
00:41:06,720 --> 00:41:12,880
dust accumulates on the fins here still but you can easily just kind of grab it

577
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:17,440
and take a Dust Bunny and throw it away or you can just blow on it and it'll all

578
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:22,280
come free so that's the reason why I use pull that Tech guy I am only answering

579
00:41:20,079 --> 00:41:29,200
questions on Twitter right now however I do keep an eye on the twitch chat so

580
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:30,760
every once in a while I uh I I do stuff

581
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:36,800
uh lonus I tweeted at you in like the pre-show does that mean you'll never read it ever um honestly probably not I

582
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:39,800
I only really do I can only do so many questions I mean you guys tweet a lot of

583
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:42,800
stuff at me and I'm not going to talk too much about how much stuff you guys

584
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:48,880
tweet at me because that will waste the time that I can spend answering questions slick no way Slick's tweeting

585
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:53,680
at me that's the real slick by the way if you guys aren't following at slick PC

586
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:56,800
on Twitter just stop stop watching right now go follow slick PC on Twitter

587
00:41:55,880 --> 00:42:02,640
because he's going to be tweeting all kinds of cool cool stuff he's got some really neat pictures of a modded Cosmos

588
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:06,599
2 that his brother's working on very cool stuff so he I don't know that's

589
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:14,040
just a response to someone else so that's uh all right Mr DJ here is the

590
00:42:10,240 --> 00:42:15,440
7970 gigz Edition better than the 680 no

591
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:20,200
um neither of them are really better than the other especially once you overclock both of them to the max

592
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:26,319
they're very very close to each other 7970 and GTX 680 if you want 3D Vision

593
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:31,319
if you want fiz X go with the NVIDIA card if you don't if you want the better

594
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:36,240
multim monitor experience go with the 7970 figure out I mean what's your plan

595
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:40,119
in the future what are you going to do if you want multim monitor go radon if

596
00:42:38,119 --> 00:42:43,359
you don't then don't then don't all

597
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:53,040
right Josh Josh hey what is the best HDMI and

598
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:57,920
what do you think I think the best HDMI

599
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:59,280
is um the HDMI that is like

600
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:02,960
actually you know what I don't I'm sorry I don't know how to answer that question

601
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:08,480
um HDMI HDMI is good actually I don't

602
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:09,800
really like HDMI I'm a big fan of DVI

603
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:15,920
because it carries more bandwidth than HDMI although HDMI 1.4 whatever I think

604
00:43:13,839 --> 00:43:20,160
it's 1.4 compliant devices with the faster processing chip are finally

605
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:24,720
caught up to DVI um I mean DisplayPort is the way of the future HDMI is

606
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:30,480
honestly holding back things like 4K I mean 4K is supported at 24 FPS s which

607
00:43:27,839 --> 00:43:36,240
just sucks um it's holding back things like 3D cuz 3D is all like a ghetto sort

608
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:40,319
of compressed thing with HDMI it's not truly fast enough for really anything

609
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:44,359
these days um although I did discover some really cool HDMI cables recently

610
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:47,599
check this out check this out so you know what we're just going to make this

611
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:51,160
big here so I was on mono price if you guys don't know mono price mono price is

612
00:43:49,319 --> 00:43:56,160
kind of amazing because they have everything and it's uh it's this stuff

613
00:43:53,760 --> 00:44:01,440
so I need no no this stuff this stuff it's called red mirre so I need some

614
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:05,680
long HDMI cables that are thin and redm

615
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:08,400
allows you to have a 28 AWG wire and up

616
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:14,079
to a 60ft cable for like 75 bucks which is absolutely outstanding um I'm super

617
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:19,319
super impressed with with that whole idea and uh so I'll be using that for

618
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:22,960
for my camera as I'm like as I have someone floating around with the camera

619
00:44:20,599 --> 00:44:27,079
taking b roll footage during an unboxing I'm going to have that long wire running

620
00:44:25,240 --> 00:44:30,200
without the weight on the HDMI connection that would cause it to break

621
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:36,000
so uh I think that's really cool that seems like kind of a newer neerish thing

622
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:41,839
so yeah I'm super super excited about that uh Matthew says mini USB are slow

623
00:44:39,119 --> 00:44:45,640
and crappy yes they are I hate them actually they're not slow they're just

624
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:49,599
USB but but they're crappy I hate them they break they suck all right I

625
00:44:48,599 --> 00:44:56,040
accidentally clicked the thing I don't want to do that I want to just scroll down scroll down air what has micro USB

626
00:44:54,359 --> 00:44:59,960
ever done to you it breaks and it sucks it's not as good as min and it's not

627
00:44:57,599 --> 00:45:05,079
much smaller and hey I'm saving this rent for later you guys are killing me

628
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:09,720
here um Adrian says is SSD of different brands really differs a lot in terms of

629
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:14,040
durability I just bought a hyperx 3K is it durable compared to Intel uh the

630
00:45:11,720 --> 00:45:18,359
answer would be probably not Intel doesn't really spec out what PE cycle

631
00:45:16,319 --> 00:45:22,240
chips they're using for their drives I know on the 520s they're using 5K PE

632
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:27,599
which basically means that drive will inherently last about 66% longer than

633
00:45:25,599 --> 00:45:31,800
the drive you just bought and a regular hyperx drive not the 3K will actually

634
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:37,400
last longer as well however even with a 3K PE cycle um with the intelligence of

635
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:42,760
the of the wear leveling algorithms in modern ssds you really don't have to

636
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:46,559
worry about it that much I mean it's um

637
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:49,960
by the time your SSD dies due to the

638
00:45:46,559 --> 00:45:52,440
flash degrading 120 gigs will be

639
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:56,680
absolutely laughable it'll be stupid it'll be like it'll be like sort of 5

640
00:45:54,599 --> 00:46:03,240
years from now or like it'll be like five years ago being concerned about

641
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:05,800
like your your 250 gig hard drive I mean

642
00:46:03,240 --> 00:46:09,000
now you can buy a 500 gig hard drive for I mean okay less less so now because of

643
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:12,440
that flood but for a while there you could buy hard drives for like 40 bucks

644
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:19,880
um so yeah you're investing a lot in your SSD now but by the time it ever matters it'll be totally

645
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,880
worthless

646
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:27,720
um oh test tester says what was that camera test tester should follow me with

647
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:32,079
a real Twitter account and then maybe I'll answer his question actually no I'm

648
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:37,079
just messing with you it's an sx1 is this is the camera that I've been using

649
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:39,359
for years for my video blog um my

650
00:46:37,079 --> 00:46:43,160
original one was actually awesome and didn't have a big fat scratch on the

651
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:47,960
lens and when that one died because I spilled chicken soup on it I had to

652
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:52,760
replace it and the sx1 I was gone and Canon didn't have a direct replacement

653
00:46:49,720 --> 00:46:54,400
that was able to take great 1080p video

654
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:57,839
so I bought a used one that came with a scratch on the lens hence all the

655
00:46:56,400 --> 00:47:02,040
complaints that I get from you guys about the autofocus there's nothing I

656
00:46:59,839 --> 00:47:06,960
can do until my new camera arrives so I'm sorry and yes some of you hate

657
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:09,280
Twitter and then I I can't answer

658
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:12,760
questions for you I'm Sorry Devil Z I know I know I I I love you and

659
00:47:11,319 --> 00:47:17,520
everything and I I do want to talk to you but you're you're going to need

660
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:19,240
Twitter um so yeah sx1 is new camera

661
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:23,800
coming so don't worry about it we we're going to get this taken care of all

662
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:28,920
right uh I painted houses yes I did paint houses I painted houses for two

663
00:47:25,240 --> 00:47:31,319

00:47:54,640 --> 00:48:02,319
US which is sort of international to can Canada um as for what's going on with

670
00:47:59,920 --> 00:48:05,839
any kind of future expansion honestly I'm like the YouTube guy I'm a product

671
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:09,480
manager I'm a category manager so I'm not exactly like you know like peon

672
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:13,839
level here like I used to be a retail sales guy but I still can't comment on

673
00:48:12,599 --> 00:48:18,680
that kind of stuff when's the next personal rig

674
00:48:15,839 --> 00:48:23,160
update honestly here's the problem right now I'm working on dremeling I get home

675
00:48:21,119 --> 00:48:28,720
at around the baby's bedtime every day which means if I turn on a drel at

676
00:48:25,599 --> 00:48:31,160
35,000 p.m. in my garage my wife will

677
00:48:28,720 --> 00:48:34,920
kill me she will absolutely destroy me so this weekend I'm hoping to find some

678
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:38,800
time while he's awake to dremel out the CPU cutout and then I'll be able to

679
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:43,920
actually post post an update so I'm super excited about that uh Gabriel says

680
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:49,319
does NCI ship custom computers to the us the answer is yes but not really you

681
00:48:46,359 --> 00:48:54,200
have to jump through some hoops email PC that is PC

682
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:59,640
nci.com and the Crazy Russian or Brian the gamer

683
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:03,000
will take care of you and they will they will get that sorted out for you okay

684
00:49:01,799 --> 00:49:09,400
they will they'll make sure that you can buy a

685
00:49:05,079 --> 00:49:11,920
PC all right Juan solo Juan solo that's

686
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:17,839
awesome that is just awesome ju solo Oh man uh do you think

687
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:22,319
College University is necessary for a job in it I would say it's not necessary

688
00:49:20,359 --> 00:49:26,920
I'd say it's highly recommended I do not have a university or a college degree um

689
00:49:24,559 --> 00:49:32,119
I'm doing all right but I have busted my tail it's not as easy um or maybe it is

690
00:49:30,720 --> 00:49:37,119
I don't know I mean I never tried the other way so it depends what you want to

691
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:40,440
do I mean you want to be a programmer um you should probably get some education

692
00:49:38,319 --> 00:49:44,079
unless you're really good at being self-educated uh if you want to be like

693
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:47,839
a technician or whatever else no totally not necessary but it really depends what

694
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:52,520
you're talking about I mean do you want to be a motherboard engineer then like

695
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:55,880
yeah then you're going to need school so it's a very vague question I'm sorry

696
00:49:53,960 --> 00:50:00,040
Juan I just I saw your name and I was like oh my goodness he's going to ask me

697
00:49:58,079 --> 00:50:02,720
about smuggling or like he's going to tell me about smuggling and I was going

698
00:50:01,359 --> 00:50:07,799
to be like amazed I was going to talk about like the Kastle

699
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,799
run now I'm

700
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:18,839
disappointed all right let's see if we got any more questions Michael wants to

701
00:50:16,720 --> 00:50:23,960
know what sort of Music are you into you know what just for lws let's have a look

702
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:27,680
at what's in my music library all right so I'm going to I'm going to pull this

703
00:50:25,240 --> 00:50:32,640
over here we are totally going to just go to my music folder we are not even

704
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:37,480
going to censor any of this stuff so let's go I actually sort my music

705
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:42,040
according to folders still I I am I am actually that demented so let's go with

706
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:44,839
uh let's go with medium icon so you guys can actually see what we're dealing with

707
00:50:43,240 --> 00:50:51,720
here so we've got some oh yeah we've got some terrible 90s like trance stuff uh

708
00:50:48,599 --> 00:50:53,520
we've got some Abba all right we've got

709
00:50:51,720 --> 00:50:57,640
Adam Gregory who was like a one- hit wonder got some Ace of Base um what

710
00:50:56,240 --> 00:51:03,000
other terrible stuff do we have in here Alanis Moret Alanis Moret is a Canadian

711
00:51:00,559 --> 00:51:06,760
hero uh yes I have one Justin Bieber song in here what else we got we got

712
00:51:05,119 --> 00:51:12,000
some Bare Naked Ladies Bare Naked Ladies is good stuff Canadians Canadians all I

713
00:51:09,359 --> 00:51:16,359
got some Backstreet Boys in here so my my music collection is probably one of

714
00:51:13,799 --> 00:51:23,319
the most eclectic music collections you will ever encounter I listen to almost

715
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:24,680
everything um got some chumba WBA some

716
00:51:23,319 --> 00:51:27,140
little bit of Coldplay some Carry Underwood See I'm going to I'm going to

717
00:51:26,319 --> 00:51:32,679
I'm going to make you guys

718
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:42,400
suff yeah yeah so uh so yeah that's uh

719
00:51:41,079 --> 00:51:46,640
that's that's that's all done now don't worry we're not going to I'm not going to do this to you anymore so basically

720
00:51:45,119 --> 00:51:50,400
you made the mistake of asking me what kind of music I listen to and I made you

721
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:55,319
suffer so I think what you discovered is that you no longer want to

722
00:51:52,440 --> 00:52:00,839
know okay and no don't don't un don't unsub because of my music taste come on

723
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:02,119
guys come on and sorry I didn't know

724
00:52:00,839 --> 00:52:06,799
that that was really loud I'm really sorry I'm really sorry I I I haven't

725
00:52:04,319 --> 00:52:11,839
tested that feature before however however I want you guys to oh no no I

726
00:52:09,119 --> 00:52:16,839
want you guys to note this okay so we're going to search for some kind of uh some

727
00:52:14,559 --> 00:52:22,640
kind of lonus video on Youtube hold on I'm GNA switch my view here so we're

728
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:25,359
going to search for like um lonus um lus

729
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:29,760
I don't know something um tech there that's a good keyword I should bring up

730
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:34,960
something all right let's go with this video the one where I like Hulk lift

731
00:52:31,599 --> 00:52:38,680
this case so check this out check this

732
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:40,000
out have you ever had Deja Deja and I

733
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:46,040
want you guys to tell me if the sound level the headphone jack is

734
00:52:43,079 --> 00:52:51,839
going is it working do you have sound good stuff so the Scout is more

735
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:55,760
along the with a rubber coating on the outside it's actually great you can

736
00:52:54,440 --> 00:53:02,359
easily carry your system around like this especially stronger than me it's not quite like the

737
00:52:59,559 --> 00:53:06,520
uh like on Theos 2 which have those those

738
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:08,559
beautifuls running down both sides of

739
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:14,599
the top of it but I mean this is a more Val and it has a rubberized on it

740
00:53:11,839 --> 00:53:20,880
impr this is L handle is a really handy thing to have for your face because if

741
00:53:17,240 --> 00:53:22,640
you're unboxing it you might find had

742
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:27,440
there we go had the case actually been full of a system I would not at all have

743
00:53:25,599 --> 00:53:31,920
been able to do that so it's only because the case is pretty light and and

744
00:53:29,720 --> 00:53:35,040
it was empty that I was able to do that I was able to do anything like that so

745
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:40,000
here let's uh let's bring me back let's bring me back uh no I do not lift

746
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:44,240
weights the only exercise that I have done in the last sort of two to three

747
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:49,880
years is playing badminton so what you guys will notice is that here I'll see

748
00:53:47,559 --> 00:53:54,720
if I can show this to you my right ARM right here is significantly wider

749
00:53:52,839 --> 00:53:59,559
especially here in the forearm say I'll Flex them both then my left ARM and

750
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:05,280
that's not for the reason you think it is that's because of badminton um and

751
00:54:02,559 --> 00:54:08,240
actually now I uh now I'm swimming so I've been if you guys are subscribed to

752
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:12,880
my Twitter or following me on Twitter I always forget the terminology if you're following me on Twitter then you know

753
00:54:11,079 --> 00:54:17,079
that I've been swimming in the mornings uh about three times a week and I'm

754
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:21,160
trying to get some endurance back some cardio so it's uh it's tough I mean it's

755
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:26,160
hard when you have a desk job because you just it's so easy to be totally

756
00:54:23,839 --> 00:54:32,119
sedentary and not do anything but um yeah it's it's important it's really

757
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:36,240
important uh Pascal says I worked at Future Shop as a sales rep awful job I'm

758
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:40,880
sorry to hear that man I actually appli you oh oh wow funny story okay we're GNA

759
00:54:38,559 --> 00:54:44,480
go off on a tangent here Future Shop so I applied to Future Shop when I was uh

760
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:48,799
when I was about I don't know 16 uh this is before I was working at NC before I'd

761
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:53,960
ever really had a real job and uh they had an online job in job interview like

762
00:54:51,440 --> 00:55:00,079
an online application that you fill out and um it it's got all those it's got

763
00:54:55,880 --> 00:55:02,680
those question C questions like um you

764
00:55:00,079 --> 00:55:05,960
know if you saw a fellow employee shoplifting something trivial like

765
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:11,799
something small like five bucks or something and uh they were a close

766
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:13,799
friend of yours would you a say nothing

767
00:55:11,799 --> 00:55:18,760
B talk to them quietly and ask them to put it back or C report it to a

768
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:21,720
supervisor and I answered honestly I would do B I wouldn't take it straight

769
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:25,960
to the supervisor i' talked to them first i' be like hey man that's not cool

770
00:55:24,039 --> 00:55:31,160
and um so what I real what I did is I answered Ed the survey honestly as

771
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:36,119
opposed to filling in the obvious answer that they wanted to hear and um without

772
00:55:34,079 --> 00:55:41,079
even taking long enough for anyone to review my application it rejected it and

773
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:44,920
so what I realized and it was totally unrealistic stuff like you'd have to be

774
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:51,760
some kind of like like unbelievable like straight arrow um

775
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:55,760
to to actually answer all these questions the way they wanted to hear it

776
00:55:53,960 --> 00:56:00,440
and so what I realized is that Future Shops hiring policy at that time

777
00:55:58,720 --> 00:56:06,680
prevented anyone honest from actually working there like if you were if you

778
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:09,160
were honest filling out the survey then

779
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:14,359
they wouldn't hire you period you had to you had to be like willing to lie at the

780
00:56:11,119 --> 00:56:16,079
right time so um yeah I I never

781
00:56:14,359 --> 00:56:19,039
reapplied not only did it not only did it reject my application but they told

782
00:56:17,559 --> 00:56:25,319
me I couldn't reapply for like three or six months or something like that I was like 6 months I'm 16 man that's going to

783
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:28,280
be forever from now so I uh so I never ended up getting going there I mean hey

784
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:32,280
who knows things could have been totally different what if this was Future Shop

785
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:36,680
Tech tips I mean we were we were like this close to this being Future Shop

786
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:40,760
Tech tips and uh and it would be about like Monster

787
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:45,680
Cables no I would never do that don't worry guys I know better than

788
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:47,760
that okay Lewis asks me if you were to

789
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:51,839
choose another job in the tech industry what would it be you know what I've I've

790
00:56:49,839 --> 00:56:55,720
actually thought about this because I like my job I love my job but it's super

791
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:59,280
stressful I work super hard I work long hours

792
00:56:56,799 --> 00:57:02,960
if I was going to choose another job I would be a technician again I would

793
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:08,400
assemble PCS again because I actually still enjoy it and it's just not

794
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:11,640
stressful and um yeah yeah that's probably what I

795
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:15,359
would do I mean other than that I think I have the best job in the world I uh I

796
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:19,480
get to be a product manager I get to boss around the Russian all day and uh

797
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:25,760
and I get to make videos for you guys which is which is great it's fun so

798
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:31,240
let's go ahead and move down Pascal says yes I am Tech in small Comp Shop and yes

799
00:57:28,359 --> 00:57:34,960
he's hard I'm just assuming that you know oh no oh no he's probably French

800
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:38,119
okay uh let's see if I can pull out a French accent yeah I probably can't do

801
00:57:36,359 --> 00:57:44,079
it forget it I'm not going to try uh Joshua says what do you think

802
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:47,200
about Opera um I can't really sing it

803
00:57:44,079 --> 00:57:49,119
but I I I mean I guess if it was playing

804
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:52,880
like and I was in a casino or something and it was just kind of playing like I

805
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:56,720
wouldn't leave because of it and I know that you mean the browser um I believe

806
00:57:54,559 --> 00:58:00,440
it or not I have opera on my computer I very rarely use it the only reason I

807
00:57:58,319 --> 00:58:04,839
have five browsers is so that I can keep track of sort of five different sets of

808
00:58:03,039 --> 00:58:10,720
logins that are in all of them so it's just very convenient that

809
00:58:06,799 --> 00:58:13,359
way okay moving right along

810
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:18,119
then lus please answer how does overclocking affect product lifetime I

811
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:21,000
would postulate that unless you're going really extreme and you're like trying to

812
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:24,720
break stuff so if you're staying reasonable you're staying within sort of

813
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:27,280
the community's generally accepted guidelines for how much voltage you

814
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:30,200
should should push through how much heat you should be outputting um how high you

815
00:58:29,359 --> 00:58:35,720
should go probably not enough that it matters

816
00:58:33,359 --> 00:58:39,839
however I have had a CPU die outright an overclocked CPU I have had CPUs degrade

817
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:43,480
on me to the point where they wouldn't overclock as high as they used to but

818
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:48,319
it's never really been relevant for me I mean I've always been I've always been

819
00:58:46,799 --> 00:58:52,760
changing my Hardware before it ever mattered so I just sell it and then I

820
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:56,520
just say yeah it overclocks to this much and your mileage may vary and then I

821
00:58:54,200 --> 00:59:00,520
don't worry too much about it put Twitter up please oh sorry guys

822
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:03,720
totally forgot about that there you go how can I wear the 7h I have one it's

823
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:09,559
literally put a dent in my head it's so heavy ah no way Shane I love the 7h 7h

824
00:59:07,319 --> 00:59:14,720
is awesome it's lighter than the Vulcan it sounds better than anything else out

825
00:59:11,799 --> 00:59:19,920
there like byy a long shot nope nope I love the 7h 7h headset buy one today

826
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:24,880
product placement for steel actually no they I mean they did give me this headset I did not pay for this headset

827
00:59:22,559 --> 00:59:30,400
but I do love it it's my favorite I got rid of my HD 555 from Sennheiser that I

828
00:59:27,839 --> 00:59:33,359
did pay for in exchange for these I had to pull these off of my personal rig

829
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:35,599
upstairs in order to wear them for this live

830
00:59:36,079 --> 00:59:39,079
stream

831
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:45,599
okay yeah see this kind of stuff Mike you got it you got it bang on here the

832
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:49,039
speed that life changes is over 9,000 come to think of it I'm watching a

833
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:53,760
person over a thousand miles away talk at me live and I'm going to add to that

834
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:57,319
from his kitchen with technology that would have cost tens maybe hundreds

835
00:59:56,039 --> 01:00:01,680
hundreds of thousands of dollars 10 years ago 20 years

836
00:59:59,559 --> 01:00:05,960
ago all right you know what let's go ahead and let's catch up with some of

837
01:00:03,119 --> 01:00:08,440
the new oh my goodness 395 new interactions okay you know what we're

838
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:12,799
not going to touch Twitter for a little bit I I love that you guys are are

839
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:18,760
adding me on Twitter and that you're tweeting at me and this is all really good stuff but I can only do so much so

840
01:00:16,599 --> 01:00:22,839
we're going to move on to our next topic of the night which is used hard drives I

841
01:00:21,119 --> 01:00:27,280
thought this was a really really good question from whoever I forget but he he

842
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:30,799
tweet tweet at me and this was earlier if if you tweet at me not during a live

843
01:00:29,319 --> 01:00:34,559
stream uh the odds of getting through to me are actually a lot better um chat

844
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:42,720
room shout outs says ghost the capitalist ghost the capitalist shout

845
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:44,680
out to you yay yay um right so used hard

846
01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:47,559
drives used hard drives are an interesting one so there's a couple

847
01:00:45,799 --> 01:00:52,400
things number one is that hard drives generally fail within the first like 30

848
01:00:49,799 --> 01:00:56,480
days or after the first couple years that's pretty much how it how it goes so

849
01:00:54,400 --> 01:01:00,599
so if they're going to die they'll die right away or they'll wait a good while

850
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:05,000
and then they'll start to drop off gradually um so used hard drives

851
01:01:03,799 --> 01:01:09,440
generally speaking if I was going to buy a used hard drive I'd look at a couple different things I'd look at who am I

852
01:01:07,599 --> 01:01:13,839
buying this from um how much have they been using it is has this been sitting

853
01:01:11,039 --> 01:01:19,200
in a NZ and has barely been used it hasn't been moved around it hasn't been

854
01:01:15,799 --> 01:01:20,799
jostled it hasn't been bumped had um so

855
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:23,480
how old is it how old is it you can always know the manufacturing data of a

856
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:28,240
hard drive just by looking at the sticker on the top of it they all say um

857
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:32,280
number three is it's still under warranty because if you're buying a used

858
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:35,720
hard drive um that's not still under warranty that means it's at least a year

859
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:40,240
old okay what have they been using it for why are they getting rid of it um he

860
01:01:38,599 --> 01:01:42,960
said that his work or his boss or something like that buys a lot of use

861
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:47,119
hard drives and doesn't really worry about it and my Approach there is I've

862
01:01:45,359 --> 01:01:51,359
used lots of used hard drives and referb hard drives in my Windows Home Server V1

863
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:56,680
if you're doing regular and I mean regular frequent very frequent backups

864
01:01:55,039 --> 01:02:01,839
then I actually don't inherently have a problem with using something like a used

865
01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:03,319
hard drive um if you're if it's got to

866
01:02:01,839 --> 01:02:08,599
oh yeah it's got to be shipped carefully that's another huge factor with hard drives you don't ship a hard drive

867
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:12,000
carefully dead hard drive um but yeah if it's been shipped carefully or you're

868
01:02:10,319 --> 01:02:17,240
picking it up if it hasn't been used that heavily if it still has warranty I

869
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:22,440
think it's probably fine I wouldn't buy a used hard drive as readily as I would

870
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:27,839
buy something like a used CPU um or any passive component so

871
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:32,039
motherboard with no active cooling where you know that there's not much to wear

872
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:37,640
out other than the pwm um I would shy away from things like Ed power supplies

873
01:02:35,319 --> 01:02:41,400
um video cards are a tough one because if they've overvolted the heck out of it

874
01:02:39,119 --> 01:02:46,000
and if the fans weren out yeah it can it can go but some some guys like EVGA this

875
01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:50,920
is one of their big advantages I know I talk a lot about the big three but EVGA

876
01:02:48,319 --> 01:02:56,160
is a big deal for video cards so they have a Global Warranty that is tied to

877
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:57,119
the serial number not to the owner so um

878
01:02:56,160 --> 01:03:02,920
that's a really good one if you're going to buy a video card yeah make sure is the warranty transferable so um some

879
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:08,440
guys like hard drives they don't care who bought it they're not going to ask you for an invoice whereas some things

880
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:12,119
like most video cards like motherboards sometimes um are going to actually ask

881
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:17,599
you to produce an original invoice and if you can't it's not going to be under warranty so that's something to consider

882
01:03:14,599 --> 01:03:21,520
anytime you're buying something

883
01:03:17,599 --> 01:03:23,559
used all right so let's talk about why I

884
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:28,160
hate micro USB and why it's the worst connection that ever existed this Con

885
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:32,799
connection is better than micro USB because it doesn't break so what's the

886
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:39,359
key difference between my iPhone 4 and my wife Samsung Galaxy S this is the

887
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:41,079
version one it's vibrant um my connector

888
01:03:39,359 --> 01:03:46,920
still works every time when I want to charge my phone or back it up or pull

889
01:03:44,119 --> 01:03:52,000
data off of it hers does not because micro USB is a big fat piece of crap

890
01:03:49,079 --> 01:03:57,279
because if you at any point let's see if I have a micro USB cable here it's so

891
01:03:54,119 --> 01:04:00,240
stupid I hate it um if at any point you

892
01:03:57,279 --> 01:04:05,440
accidentally you know wiggle a micro USB cable the pins are so small and they're

893
01:04:03,079 --> 01:04:10,880
so close together that it is incredibly easy for them to break off the piece in

894
01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:12,480
the middle of the actual um female end

895
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:16,839
that that makes contact with the pins or bend it so it won't make contact anymore

896
01:04:14,359 --> 01:04:21,039
it is so easy to break it off it is so easy to it's oh it's just fragile and

897
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:25,319
the thing that kills me most about it is that compared to mini be remember mini

898
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:28,960
be the one that used to be on every camera ever and it's kind of still on

899
01:04:27,119 --> 01:04:34,720
every camera but used to be just everything see Min how much bigger than

900
01:04:32,279 --> 01:04:39,559
micro USB is that like how much bigger is it this is this is a 100 times better

901
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:43,720
this is a 100 times more robust I mean I hate mini HDMI too I especially hate

902
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:48,000
micro HDMI but no actually I think mini HDMI is the worst I hate fragile

903
01:04:45,359 --> 01:04:52,839
connectors so I don't have anything against um I don't have anything against

904
01:04:51,079 --> 01:04:56,720
micro USB in particular but I hate fragile connectors in fact I hate HDMI

905
01:04:54,880 --> 01:05:04,079
too compar comp to DVI compared to DisplayPort these are locking connectors every connector should lock

906
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:09,920
every connector should be durable I I really

907
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:12,920
just I mean come on my uh my my grandpa

908
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:14,400
has a has a Blackberry playbook that uh

909
01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:19,039
he bought a while ago and you can make all the jokes you want about how it was useless the day he got it but it's

910
01:05:17,039 --> 01:05:25,240
useless now because he can no longer charge it and it's like just over a year

911
01:05:20,839 --> 01:05:27,559
old just stupid just just horrible um

912
01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:32,279
Mini Is Not Fragile ghost the capitalist well it's fragile but it's not nearly as

913
01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:33,720
fragile as micro uh Keen Pro asks what

914
01:05:32,279 --> 01:05:42,000
phone do I have I'm going to let the rest of you in the chat answer that for him because I think most of you probably

915
01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:42,000
know let's go and do some more Twitter

916
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:51,119
questions there we go okay 40 400 and something new updates

917
01:05:50,119 --> 01:05:56,920
oh yeah

918
01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:59,319
okay Peter great question question Peter

919
01:05:56,920 --> 01:06:04,240
why do you like the tj07 more than the tj1 couple reasons Peter number one the

920
01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:07,240
tj11 is really big it's really big it's heavier than the tj07 although it's

921
01:06:05,839 --> 01:06:11,839
really light for such a big case because of it's all aluminum construction uh

922
01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:15,720
number two is it'll look kind of empty I'm not planning to use an xlx

923
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:19,520
motherboard so it'll just have like that emptiness factor I don't like that I

924
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:24,839
prefer to I prefer to have a build that's all goes together I want an ATX

925
01:06:22,599 --> 01:06:29,039
board I want an ATX case I want an ATX power supply I mean to me it's like

926
01:06:26,839 --> 01:06:31,760
using an sfx power supply and putting it in like a mid tower case and using like

927
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:36,160
an adapter it's just going to look stupid um I saw one guy installed an ITX

928
01:06:34,319 --> 01:06:40,039
board in his Corsair 800d I mean that's an extreme example but it's like the

929
01:06:37,599 --> 01:06:44,440
most ridiculous thing ever um I like the plainness of the tj07 the tjl 11 I

930
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:47,400
originally hated it when I first saw the pictures cuz I thought the front was

931
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:51,720
plastic I thought it was like plastic and cheap the whole thing is metal it's

932
01:06:49,319 --> 01:06:56,920
a beautiful case it is amazingly well constructed but I like the plainness I

933
01:06:54,200 --> 01:07:00,480
like the flat front on the tj07 I like the flat top I just like the I like the

934
01:06:59,079 --> 01:07:05,960
plainness I like the sleekness um also my tj7 is a gift from

935
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:11,480
my wife my wife bought it for me it was one of the first major purchases that

936
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:13,039
she made um for me for my birthday and

937
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:16,480
uh was also one of the first things I bought when I first started at NCI so it

938
01:07:14,839 --> 01:07:23,079
was a long time ago now so I'm pretty attached to the uh to the tj07 um I also

939
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:28,680
my tj7 is is baller because it's one of the old ones new TJ o7s the unibody

940
01:07:26,359 --> 01:07:34,559
curve that's so smooth on mine is actually a little bit sort of it's it's

941
01:07:33,319 --> 01:07:39,680
I mean what would we call it we'd call it like um it's not quite a perfectly

942
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:43,079
smooth curve it's got some sort of lines to it and the reason is that the new

943
01:07:41,559 --> 01:07:48,119
manufacturing process they take the sheet they score it a couple times and

944
01:07:46,279 --> 01:07:53,240
then they bend it whereas they used to just bend the solid sheet of aluminum so

945
01:07:51,079 --> 01:07:57,760
I have like the older baller tj7 and I feel exclusive about it so so that

946
01:07:55,720 --> 01:08:01,680
that's another reason how much can I bench press not a whole lot let me tell

947
01:07:59,599 --> 01:08:07,559
you that because my left ARM is weak as crap I can only do about I think I can

948
01:08:04,279 --> 01:08:10,039
do about 35 push-ups in one go and I

949
01:08:07,559 --> 01:08:14,079
only weigh like 140 pounds so that should give you some idea like I yeah

950
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:17,400
really can't uh really can't do it um obsidian Matthew elus are you thinking

951
01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:23,239
of getting the iPhone 5 believe it or not I'm not really a phone guy I I

952
01:08:20,159 --> 01:08:25,120
actually had um a flip phone until work

953
01:08:23,239 --> 01:08:29,000
issued me a Blackberry and it was one of those blackberries with like you know

954
01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:33,080
the the wheel on the side and like the screen and like the keyboard under it

955
01:08:30,719 --> 01:08:36,359
it's like an 8300 or something like that and I used that until work issued me an

956
01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:42,960
iPhone 4 I don't um I don't I don't buy phones

957
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:47,600
I'm not a phone guy I'm uh I think that any computer that's smaller than the

958
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:50,799
Torso of a grown man is probably not uh not that great although phones are

959
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:56,719
getting phones are getting better phones are getting cool and all of that but I just I know I have to get into phones

960
01:08:54,679 --> 01:09:00,480
more I mean I I I like learning about new operating systems like Android and

961
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:05,000
and iOS it's been it's been eye opening I use my phone more than I ever thought

962
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:06,679
I would but I'm still not super like I'm

963
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:11,279
not like foaming at the mouth waiting for the oh my goodness it's the next

964
01:09:08,759 --> 01:09:15,440
iPhone or it's the next Android phone I'm just I'm not that uh I'm far more

965
01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:19,080
excited about a new flagship video card for

966
01:09:16,799 --> 01:09:24,799
example okay let's move right along Sue Dion

967
01:09:22,759 --> 01:09:27,960
says how many satellites are currently in orbit

968
01:09:26,239 --> 01:09:30,880
um suion I'm going to show you a really cool site and I know you're just

969
01:09:29,319 --> 01:09:37,719
trolling me I totally know you're just trolling me but it's called let me

970
01:09:33,239 --> 01:09:42,000
Google that for you and uh I I I would

971
01:09:37,719 --> 01:09:44,440
use it but I think you get the point

972
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:47,480
Sue Rumble muffin says there are rumors going around that ASUS is making offers

973
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:52,000
to buy ASRock how do you think this will impact the motherboard Market I don't know if you know this but ASRock

974
01:09:50,199 --> 01:09:57,159
originally split off from ASUS I believe they're still both owned by pegatron but

975
01:09:54,640 --> 01:10:02,560
I could be wrong wrong I don't remember exactly the an the what was going on but

976
01:09:59,480 --> 01:10:04,520
those companies are they're separate but

977
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:07,120
they're like like they're separate they're here but they're like there

978
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:11,880
there's connections between those companies so I I wouldn't think I

979
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:11,880
wouldn't overthink it too

980
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:21,560
much Gabriel says lonus I posted a rig a while ago can you look at it and give me

981
01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:26,120
the line of seal of approval you know what Gabriel I am pretty busy I have a

982
01:10:24,480 --> 01:10:30,520
hard time looking at at every system that people send to me um especially

983
01:10:28,159 --> 01:10:34,880
because at least 75% of the people that I advise about their systems end up

984
01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:37,239
arguing with me about why they chose what they chose or didn't choose what

985
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:41,120
they chose you know what I don't care because I looked at your system I told

986
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:44,920
you how you're going to get 20% more performance for 5% more money or

987
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:49,199
whatever else um and I just don't have time to debate it but what you can do is

988
01:10:47,159 --> 01:10:54,040
you can email PC nc.com and the Russian or Brian will

989
01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:59,640
totally look at that for you and they are as as good configuring PCS as me if

990
01:10:57,159 --> 01:11:04,199
not better so don't worry too much about that they will they will get you taken

991
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:06,320
care of like no problem Jacob yes at

992
01:11:04,199 --> 01:11:12,560
some point I will do the Hackintosh I am still waiting for ASUS to send me a p8

993
01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:15,000
z77 dasi or whatever their z77 it export

994
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:19,640
is I don't have one yet as soon as I have it I will get to work on that I

995
01:11:17,719 --> 01:11:25,960
promise dagge larak says

996
01:11:22,679 --> 01:11:28,199
Linus okay

997
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:32,120
uh reflex says you know ASL I do my mother is uh my mother's heart of

998
01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:37,480
hearing she's a teacher of the deaf um I had a deaf Foster brother growing up so

999
01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:40,239
I'm really rusty um I used to be pretty

1000
01:11:37,480 --> 01:11:43,800
conversant um whereas these days it's pretty tough for me I mean it's kind of

1001
01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:49,440
like French where I used to be able to communicate in French but now I mean uh

1002
01:11:47,199 --> 01:11:53,800
uh yeah it's it's it's pretty tough I'm kind of an English English speaking only

1003
01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:57,840
guy these days I mean I can still I can still finger spell you know like I know

1004
01:11:55,440 --> 01:12:03,679
my name sign just like hockey with an L sort of cheeseball but um that's pretty

1005
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:09,159
much all I got at this point Nicholas clucher says lonus you

1006
01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:13,920
started as a Salesman how did you end up in the head office instead of store

1007
01:12:11,440 --> 01:12:18,800
management um well actually it's funny story because I went and talked to the

1008
01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:21,920
president of the company because I had a really awkward conversation that I had

1009
01:12:20,639 --> 01:12:25,679
to have with him because I just started at ncx and I was like I had this

1010
01:12:24,080 --> 01:12:31,040
contract where I have to paint houses this summer can you give me the summer

1011
01:12:28,239 --> 01:12:37,560
off can you hold a job here for me um while I while I do this and I think that

1012
01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:40,440
that's part of what made him um that's

1013
01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:43,280
part of what got me his attention was that I came in to talked to him about

1014
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:47,760
this I think he looked at my numbers and what he liked about what I was selling

1015
01:12:45,639 --> 01:12:50,320
was I was always selling systems I was selling more systems than any other

1016
01:12:49,159 --> 01:12:54,120
sales guy in the company and I was working like three days a week um and I

1017
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:58,320
was always selling these high-end systems because I'm really pass about it

1018
01:12:56,400 --> 01:13:04,719
and so he said to me look not only am I going to hold you a job here but I am

1019
01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:08,159
going to have you come and work at head

1020
01:13:04,719 --> 01:13:10,120
office when you come back and so I

1021
01:13:08,159 --> 01:13:13,560
started out uh configuring the PCS on the website and from there I moved into

1022
01:13:11,960 --> 01:13:18,199
product management with water cooling and then from there I moved into more important product management and now I'm

1023
01:13:16,639 --> 01:13:21,239
a category manager and then I started doing videos somewhere along the line

1024
01:13:19,679 --> 01:13:24,199
and that's uh that's pretty much how it went so there was a lot of there was a

1025
01:13:22,679 --> 01:13:31,920
lot of luck involved I mean it wasn't like uh it wasn't like you know oh I you

1026
01:13:27,040 --> 01:13:35,040
know um I found like a magical sort of

1027
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:37,280
Toothpick and then I fought the mighty

1028
01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:40,560
uh pint-sized dragon and I slayed him and I you know stabbed him in the foot

1029
01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:44,280
and it turned out that that was where his heart was and I was like oh I

1030
01:13:42,440 --> 01:13:49,360
conquered the Beast and then I put him in this jar and like it wasn't anything

1031
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:52,560
like that it was uh there was some luck involved I think I think with success

1032
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:57,199
there's always a little bit of a little bit of luck involved LD form says wish

1045
01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:54,120
over my chin because I pressed it so hard against my tongue that it mashed my

1046
01:14:52,400 --> 01:15:00,239
tongue on my chin it's disgusting it's disgusting I don't don't do

1047
01:14:55,960 --> 01:15:02,520
that okay moving right

1048
01:15:00,239 --> 01:15:07,239
along uh Mark wants to know will we be doing multicam in the future yes we

1049
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:10,800
will lonus I have a copy of windows8 from University I'm on the offense about

1050
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:16,239
upgrading I'm planning to upgrade I think that the only way to move is

1051
01:15:13,480 --> 01:15:20,120
forward so I'm going to try it and uh I'm going to make make myself like it

1052
01:15:18,239 --> 01:15:24,440
because it's not going away um lonus are you going to upgrade

1053
01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:28,520
your 926 Ai and your rig to the new successor I am not planning to do that

1054
01:15:26,880 --> 01:15:33,000
um adaptech has a really cool new card coming that I'm pretty excited about um

1055
01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:37,159
and my 9260 is honestly fast enough for me it's good enough for about two

1056
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:40,880
gigabytes per second reads which is uh I mean I've only got SATA 2 ssds on there

1057
01:15:39,159 --> 01:15:44,199
now I could still get more performance out of that card just by upgrading the

1058
01:15:42,239 --> 01:15:48,199
ssds instead so I'm going stick with that uh stick with that card for now I

1059
01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:51,440
really like it it's reliable I've got a I've got like a special custom heat sink

1060
01:15:50,159 --> 01:15:56,960
I made for the battery so that it doesn't overheat so everything's just kind of working the way I like it

1061
01:15:55,480 --> 01:16:02,159
Joe wants to know if it's possible to liquid cool and overclock an SSD let me

1062
01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:06,080
tell you Joe that is the most fantastic Twitter profile picture that I think I

1063
01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:11,080
have ever seen look at this look at this burger look at this guy I mean the

1064
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:15,199
Burger's so big it makes this huge black guy looks small that is that is

1065
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:21,440
fantastic Joe is that you tell me Joe if that is you I need to

1066
01:16:19,199 --> 01:16:26,120
know you have to tweet you have to tweet me later or something because that is

1067
01:16:23,080 --> 01:16:28,520
just fantastic that burger is amazing

1068
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:31,760
so back to uh back back to Twitter I guess oh I guess we're up at the top now

1069
01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:37,199
or maybe we're not I don't know what's going on let's go back to connect there we go let's get connected with each

1070
01:16:35,360 --> 01:16:43,360
other yo not like in a weird way just in like

1071
01:16:40,440 --> 01:16:47,320
a good way Mike Canadians go to McDonald's also lonus did you hear about

1072
01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:52,400
New York City Banning the sale of Big Gulp siiz drinks you know what this isn't something I was planning to talk

1073
01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:57,600
about tonight but huge soft drinks are going to kill

1074
01:16:55,480 --> 01:17:01,520
you I I I know that I don't have a channel called lus health tips and I'm

1075
01:16:59,440 --> 01:17:05,639
not necessarily the most healthy guy in the world but I was uh we were at the

1076
01:17:04,239 --> 01:17:11,520
nurse's place we were getting immunizations for the baby and um I was

1077
01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:16,480
I was sort of marveling at uh I mean I'm a huge iced tea guy I love iced tea it's

1078
01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:23,159
just the best thing ever and if you guys don't live in Canada if you live in the US what you don't know is that in oh

1079
01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:28,880
come on lus racist I said he's a black guy I'm a white guy it's not

1080
01:17:25,480 --> 01:17:32,239
racist geez I didn't say he was fat I

1081
01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:34,040
said he was big he is big anyway so we

1082
01:17:32,239 --> 01:17:38,040
were at the uh we were at the nurses the nurse's office to get some immunizations

1083
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:43,159
for the baby and uh they had a chart on the wall showing like how much sugar is

1084
01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:46,120
in crap and uh it reminded me of this time that I was down in the US and I

1085
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:50,159
ordered iced tea I'd never really gone to the states and I'd never really gone

1086
01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:53,480
to a restaurant there before and I ordered nice tea at Red Rob and I took

1087
01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:57,760
one sip of it and I just about spit it all over the table because I realized it

1088
01:17:55,080 --> 01:18:01,960
wasn't sweetened and um what what I realized about about the okay first of

1089
01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:09,159
all the sugar sugar will kill you because it turns into fat okay so there's that and then second of all is I

1090
01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:12,600
remember how much sugar I ended up putting from the table they had like

1091
01:18:10,480 --> 01:18:16,120
sugar packets I remember how much sugar I ended up putting into the iced tea to

1092
01:18:14,239 --> 01:18:20,560
make it even remotely palatable and being absolutely disgusted at how much

1093
01:18:19,239 --> 01:18:25,280
sugar I was putting in this drink because you don't think about it when it's mixed into something but pop iced

1094
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:31,199
tea that stuff will kill you the best thing to

1095
01:18:28,639 --> 01:18:36,280
drink right there water so I'm I almost drink only water

1096
01:18:34,560 --> 01:18:39,679
the times I drink iced tea I drink iced tea when I go to a restaurant I treat

1097
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:43,560
myself but I try not to keep it in the house because that stuff will kill me

1098
01:18:41,719 --> 01:18:47,639
and I try to realize that uh Performance Studios what editor

1099
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:51,159
do you use to edit your videos I personally use Sony Vegas movie studio

1100
01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:56,159
because I'm cheap and I don't know how to use anything else um uh what's his

1101
01:18:53,719 --> 01:19:02,120
name diesel brought brought his copy of uh of CS6 that he's been using to help

1102
01:18:58,719 --> 01:19:03,719
us and uh yeah it's pretty cool based on

1103
01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:08,280
what he's been doing lately I mean I don't know okay okay you know what we're gonna we're going to go we're going to

1104
01:19:06,080 --> 01:19:13,760
go on a Youtube Adventure here guys and I'm going to show you the latest edition

1105
01:19:10,120 --> 01:19:16,280
of netlink weekly which is actually

1106
01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:21,000
amazing um and I'm like super happy with it I didn't I didn't ask him to do this

1107
01:19:18,199 --> 01:19:25,719
at all but he just did a fantastic job of the editing on this one so we had a

1108
01:19:22,639 --> 01:19:28,760
street fighter Showdown between me and

1109
01:19:25,719 --> 01:19:31,080
Tom the artist and uh he added like the

1110
01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:34,400
coolest effect that I that I totally I mean I told him be creative about this

1111
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:38,400
stuff you know have fun but I didn't think he'd be this creative and I didn't think he'd have this much fun I was I

1112
01:19:37,040 --> 01:19:43,880
was super super impressed with this I'm going to turn on the sound I'm going to stop talking for a minute here was

1113
01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:47,400
pretty even for me and Tom and uh here we go so I I really I don't even know

1114
01:19:45,960 --> 01:19:50,239
what button kicks here you guys like that you guys like those heads and

1115
01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:54,280
health bars down there does that even work oh no I I did damage okay don't do

1116
01:19:52,199 --> 01:19:58,800
that he knows Combos and stuff that's not fair I don't know combos they just

1117
01:19:55,880 --> 01:20:03,120
know how to do it a du no the office knows if I just kick long story I'm to

1118
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:08,880
figure out how to turn the audio off here yeah long story short I kicked Tom's butt in spite of the fact that

1119
01:20:06,679 --> 01:20:12,600
that was his copy of Street Fighter 4 I've played Street Fighter 4 a grand

1120
01:20:10,480 --> 01:20:15,920
total of about like one hour before in my life when I sat down and kind of

1121
01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:20,920
played it for a bit I have never once played a game on a PlayStation 3 before

1122
01:20:18,159 --> 01:20:26,639
that I'm totally not a console guy but I uh yeah yeah I uh I I I I did myself

1123
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:30,239
proud I did myself proud in that Street Fighter match there so I I don't

1124
01:20:28,679 --> 01:20:36,719
remember how we got on this topic but let's go ahead and move right along

1125
01:20:32,320 --> 01:20:40,040
here okay moving on down moving on down

1126
01:20:36,719 --> 01:20:43,120
moving on down what's your favorite case

1127
01:20:40,040 --> 01:20:45,520
tj07 Dan says I have to wake up at 7 A.M

1128
01:20:43,120 --> 01:20:47,120
tomorrow for school that sucks Dan I remember

1129
01:20:47,120 --> 01:20:53,440
school getting up early sucks but like stay in school it's

1130
01:20:51,159 --> 01:20:57,920
important and stuff okay okay let's see let's view

1131
01:20:56,800 --> 01:21:02,360
this conversation I don't know where this came

1132
01:20:59,880 --> 01:21:05,600
from oh I think so I think I'm getting I think I'm getting burned for not

1133
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:10,040
thinking that girl gamers exist I found this uh I found this evidently girl

1134
01:21:07,840 --> 01:21:16,360
gamer oh no oh that that is the that is the one she did reply to my tweet here

1135
01:21:12,280 --> 01:21:20,040
oh yeah okay so we are oh I just saw

1136
01:21:16,360 --> 01:21:23,400
this tweet during my live stream my

1137
01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:24,960
audience says hi you guys say hi right

1138
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:30,400
you guys say hi to the girl gamer who did an unboxing of a video card I was

1139
01:21:27,320 --> 01:21:31,760
like woo amateur unboxings very cool oh

1140
01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:37,280
someone apparently knows who this is I've never heard of her before but uh

1141
01:21:34,600 --> 01:21:40,719
people don't say people don't say hi well you know what too bad I'm saying hi

1142
01:21:38,639 --> 01:21:46,400
on behalf of you guys because I'll just force you to be somewhat polite uh how

1143
01:21:43,440 --> 01:21:51,719
do I turn this off close this go away and go away no no no okay you know what

1144
01:21:49,520 --> 01:21:55,400
let's just scroll down there we go all right how long till a replacement for

1145
01:21:53,320 --> 01:21:58,800
DDR3 actually they've just finalized the ddr4 spec however I don't think it

1146
01:21:57,440 --> 01:22:04,880
matters that much I don't know if you guys remember this but the upgrade and

1147
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:06,719
performance going from ddr2 to DDR3 was

1148
01:22:04,880 --> 01:22:10,840
very very minuscule as soon as we moved to an integrated memory controller on

1149
01:22:08,679 --> 01:22:16,080
most of the modern well every modern CPU on the desktop from AMD and Intel um it

1150
01:22:13,560 --> 01:22:19,960
stopped really mattering that much uh what the speed of the memory is because

1151
01:22:17,880 --> 01:22:25,320
the latency goes up as we increase the frequency um and we just don't need more

1152
01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:29,400
bandwidth on the desktop I mean if you guys need any evidence of this go and

1153
01:22:27,440 --> 01:22:35,679
look at some of the writeups that have been done about LGA 2011 where they take

1154
01:22:33,560 --> 01:22:39,440
uh they they actually run every for two one two three and four channels of

1155
01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:43,600
memory on the platform because it's fully capable of running in dual Channel

1156
01:22:41,360 --> 01:22:49,639
and what's discovered a lot of the time is that dual channel is just as good as

1157
01:22:47,400 --> 01:22:53,440
quad channel in some cases where latency is more important and quad channels

1158
01:22:51,639 --> 01:22:57,639
better where you need more bandwidth but these are very very small margins of

1159
01:22:55,320 --> 01:23:02,159
Victory on both sides uh the only time you really run into trouble is when

1160
01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:04,159
you're running single channel so yeah

1161
01:23:02,159 --> 01:23:09,840
there you go I I mean it's coming but I don't know how relevant it is Peter

1162
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:14,120
wants to know what is the story behind cameraman's Apple prowess also it seems

1163
01:23:12,679 --> 01:23:18,800
slick and Diesel don't mind being on camera anymore so cameraman is an Apple

1164
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:23,880
guy cameraman is the one who convinced me to get an iPhone 4 cameraman um edits

1165
01:23:21,760 --> 01:23:26,679
all his videos on a Mac back in the day when uh when we were doing like old

1166
01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:32,719
school Tech tipss you know what let's pull up let's pull up some old school Tech tips for you guys so here we're

1167
01:23:30,360 --> 01:23:38,679
gonna go to Let's uh let's let's change our view here let's do this let's go to

1168
01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:41,880

go here we go okay so first of all there's that NC commercial that I had

1172
01:23:51,800 --> 01:23:58,320
nothing to do with um where's where where's that ah where's that one there's

1173
01:23:56,520 --> 01:24:02,920
a particular one I'm looking for here guys cameraman did all these like

1174
01:24:00,320 --> 01:24:04,920
awesome awesome like cheeseball effects this is right around the time we got our

1175

01:24:07,679 --> 01:24:15,520
going to watch this with me hold on I'm going to switch this to full screen I'm going to put that on oh yeah 720p like

1177
01:24:13,440 --> 01:24:21,800
it's uh I don't know whatever year that was long time

1178
01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:23,960
ago hi welcome to NC Tech tips today

1179
01:24:21,800 --> 01:24:28,880
we'll be covering a very special uh new platform launch from AMD so it's called

1180
01:24:26,639 --> 01:24:33,560
the dragon platform and it features the Phenom 2 processor demo system here and

1181
01:24:31,480 --> 01:24:40,040
we're going to put on our investigation caps to open it up and see what's inside

1182
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:44,719
and whoa whoa okay okay hold on hold on let me let me get this close see how fun

1183
01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:49,320
is that cameraman did all of that on a Mac so so Apple can't be uh Apple can't

1184
01:24:47,320 --> 01:24:54,040
be all bad right am I right I'm not right but you know

1185
01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:58,880
cameraman would have us believe that I'm right so let's go ahead and uh keep keep

1186
01:24:56,239 --> 01:24:58,880
moving down

1187
01:24:59,679 --> 01:25:05,000
here scrolling down looking at some

1188
01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:08,400
questions John wants to know how hard do you think it is to run a business solely

1189
01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:12,400
on custom systems how would I do it John it's probably not doable there's two

1190
01:25:10,440 --> 01:25:18,080
guys in the US doing it right now IB power and cyber power they are

1191
01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:22,679
both basically it's saturated there's no room for really anyone else um to make a

1192
01:25:20,480 --> 01:25:28,440
real living to have like a significant company I mean okay there's smaller guys

1193
01:25:25,280 --> 01:25:30,480
like a falcon or uh you know whatever

1194
01:25:28,440 --> 01:25:34,480
whatever those guys but these are this is a very Niche niche market and the

1195
01:25:32,960 --> 01:25:38,679
reason that people buy from them is they're a longtime trusted brand they've

1196
01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:45,560
been around forever as a new startup it would be I'm going to say impossible um

1197
01:25:42,199 --> 01:25:45,560
it's not a business that I would

1198
01:25:45,639 --> 01:25:50,719
start Ryan says I may be a little off

1199
01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:55,840
topic here absolutely not Ryan questions about power supplies are 100 well just

1200
01:25:53,560 --> 01:25:59,840
100% people say more than 100% tick me off because there's no such thing unless

1201
01:25:57,400 --> 01:26:03,920
we're talking about growth so lus I may be a little off topic here but my

1202
01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:07,199
Corsair TX750 V2 died on me and I'm going to buy a seic platinum 60 what do

1203
01:26:05,679 --> 01:26:13,520
you think I think that's a fantastic idea seic power supplies are the

1204
01:26:11,040 --> 01:26:18,280
Chisel David says did that guy from last week who you offered to build this PC

1205
01:26:14,960 --> 01:26:19,880
for ,000 ever respond he did respond he

1206
01:26:18,280 --> 01:26:23,520
seemed like he was going to do it but I I talked him out of it because it makes

1207
01:26:21,320 --> 01:26:30,000
no sense to give someone $1,000 to assemble a PC for

1208
01:26:26,040 --> 01:26:31,320
you all right moving right along would

1209
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:34,920
you say a sound card is necessary for games like BF3 a sound card is necessary

1210
01:26:33,239 --> 01:26:40,440
for life you should have a sound card because it makes everything sound

1211
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:46,400
better oh this is the this is the saddest thing that I've that I've seen

1212
01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:47,280
today kpk TDS says lonus you are loved

1213
01:26:46,400 --> 01:26:53,440
by thousands thank you I'm completely alone

1214
01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:58,719
what do you recommend me first of all let's find out how alone he

1215
01:26:55,760 --> 01:27:06,480
is hold on oh my goodness he is actually

1216
01:27:02,880 --> 01:27:08,199
completely alone he has zero followers

1217
01:27:06,480 --> 01:27:15,159

1231
01:28:03,560 --> 01:28:08,719

1232
01:28:07,239 --> 01:28:12,600
are tuned into this live stream the people who watch Tech tips on YouTube

1233
01:28:10,719 --> 01:28:16,960
are generally A Cut Above the Rest of the internet garbage and the re what I

1234
01:28:15,320 --> 01:28:20,639
base this on is the quality of the comments on my videos the quality of the

1235
01:28:19,199 --> 01:28:24,520
chat that we have going on here the quality of the conversations it's good

1236
01:28:22,679 --> 01:28:28,760
stuff and they're good people so now they are going to talk to you or they

1237
01:28:26,360 --> 01:28:33,000
might not and uh let's move right along

1238
01:28:30,280 --> 01:28:38,360
okay uh Charlie what do I think of the tj07 based murder box I love it I think

1239
01:28:36,280 --> 01:28:43,639
it's expensive I think if you want as good a case as you can pretty much get

1240
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:48,920
um Charles is the man he's B he uh he started up in Vancouver I actually uh I

1241
01:28:45,840 --> 01:28:52,080
saved his butt once on one of his first

1242
01:28:48,920 --> 01:28:55,440
murder boxes um he had a bill that he

1243
01:28:52,080 --> 01:28:57,119
had to get done G3 eight fittings were

1244
01:28:55,440 --> 01:29:01,280
really hard to come by and I had a beautiful pair of them I don't remember

1245
01:28:58,960 --> 01:29:06,119
where I got them but we had none in stock at NC there was nothing local he

1246
01:29:03,320 --> 01:29:11,360
couldn't find anything and he called me up he said vinus do you have any g38

1247
01:29:09,560 --> 01:29:14,600
fittings I have to finish this system if I don't finish this system it's going to

1248
01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:18,880
be a big problem for me it's going to be weeks to get more g38 fittings and he

1249
01:29:17,040 --> 01:29:22,520
does not believe in using anything but the best so he was using a thermal chill

1250
01:29:20,639 --> 01:29:27,679
rad no questions they were not G1 quarter back in those days so I said

1251
01:29:24,760 --> 01:29:31,280
look Charles dude all I've got is these ones I'm saving these for my build these

1252
01:29:29,360 --> 01:29:35,360
are the nicest g38 fittings I've ever encountered I've never seen any like

1253
01:29:32,719 --> 01:29:39,760
them ever again but I was like look dude for you they're

1254
01:29:37,040 --> 01:29:43,280
yours didn't charge them for them just gave them to him and that's that's

1255
01:29:41,880 --> 01:29:47,280
really the only story I have about Charles but either way I like him I

1256
01:29:45,040 --> 01:29:54,960
liked him there that's the point I liked him enough to give up special fittings

1257
01:29:50,560 --> 01:29:56,560
and I'm I'm totally totally totally OCD

1258
01:29:54,960 --> 01:29:59,639
about things like water cooling fittings if I have like the perfect I mean

1259
01:29:58,040 --> 01:30:07,440
fittings all sucked back in those days we didn't have bits power um so

1260
01:30:03,400 --> 01:30:07,440
yeah I like Charles he's a good

1261
01:30:08,040 --> 01:30:15,360
guy moving further down further down

1262
01:30:13,840 --> 01:30:18,400
Maurice says how do I feel about the Aesthetics of the switch 810 and what do

1263
01:30:17,280 --> 01:30:24,560
I think about the features it includes for the price I think it's very plastic um I'm not much of a plastic guy so

1264
01:30:22,080 --> 01:30:28,880
there you go and I saw some asking in the chat about red versus brown switches

1265
01:30:26,480 --> 01:30:34,040
you know what I'm not a big red guy I love the k90 from corsera I love the

1266
01:30:31,840 --> 01:30:38,199
backlight I love the awesome aluminum base plate I do not love the red

1267
01:30:36,199 --> 01:30:41,280
switches and that's really really preventing me from using that keyboard

1268
01:30:39,800 --> 01:30:45,760
so I would go Browns over I'd go anything over Reds pretty

1269
01:30:43,600 --> 01:30:50,119
much uh Steve wants to know what I think of asrock's xfast RAM xfast land and

1270
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:54,000
xfast USB well xfast USB is pretty straightforward because I think it just

1271
01:30:51,119 --> 01:30:56,239
means USB 3 as for their xfast RAM and X fast

1272
01:31:00,960 --> 01:31:08,960
L yeah um kargo says go to Justin.tv

1273
01:31:06,199 --> 01:31:12,639
instead admins on Twitch TV are pretty abusive well you know what I know a

1274
01:31:10,560 --> 01:31:17,520
couple of admins over here in fact there was one watching at the start let me

1275
01:31:15,080 --> 01:31:22,440
have a look if he's still here oh no there's oh there's a different staff

1276
01:31:19,880 --> 01:31:25,239
Sinn I don't know who that is let's see if he's abusive I'm going to I'm going

1277
01:31:23,639 --> 01:31:30,360
to totally like say something mean about him I'm going to say like swin sinn's

1278
01:31:28,159 --> 01:31:35,360
dog has tourettes

1279
01:31:32,119 --> 01:31:38,440
bam oh it's John oh whatever whatever

1280
01:31:35,360 --> 01:31:41,159
John no one cares what you think anyway

1281
01:31:38,440 --> 01:31:46,000

1282
01:31:43,840 --> 01:31:50,679

1283
01:31:49,040 --> 01:31:56,040
logged in yeah yeah bam anyway okay moving

1284
01:31:53,920 --> 01:32:00,440
right along so uh twitch seems to want me on there so uh I'm not going to I'm

1285
01:31:58,320 --> 01:32:03,600
not going to I'm not going to defy them by moving over to Justin.tv because I

1286
01:32:02,280 --> 01:32:07,560
think they could follow me over there and and tell me to come back to Twitch

1287
01:32:05,679 --> 01:32:12,960
based on that they're somewhat Affiliated uh Queen bugle says how about

1288
01:32:10,239 --> 01:32:17,080
a tj07 unboxing great suggestion unfortunately I I mean I've talked about

1289
01:32:14,920 --> 01:32:22,800
the tj07 a lot I don't really have any handy to unbox so there's not a whole

1290
01:32:19,480 --> 01:32:26,360
lot I can do about that but uh but yeah

1291
01:32:22,800 --> 01:32:26,360
but yeah no good idea though good

1292
01:32:26,679 --> 01:32:31,600

have any of those other BS but I do have lights in my music

1294
01:32:33,040 --> 01:32:38,360
collection okay you know what I have another requested topic for tonight and

1295
01:32:37,040 --> 01:32:44,080
this is totally going to be boring for most of you so you can tune out if you want but someone asked me to talk about

1296
01:32:41,560 --> 01:32:47,199
my bike gear so I will be back in like one minute I'm just going to go grab my

1297
01:32:45,480 --> 01:32:50,600
bike gear and we're going to talk about we're going to talk about motorcycle

1298
01:32:48,560 --> 01:32:53,920
safety so I'll be back in like two seconds I have a pretty sweet helmet

1299
01:32:52,639 --> 01:32:58,040
though so you guys should definitely stick around and check it out

1300
01:33:52,159 --> 01:33:55,159
what

1301
01:34:05,960 --> 01:34:12,800
all right so if any of you guys are writers out there then you've probably heard the

1302
01:34:10,280 --> 01:34:15,679
phrase all the gear all the time I firmly believe that if you're thinking

1303
01:34:14,159 --> 01:34:21,920
about riding a motorcycle or if you're riding a motorcycle now and you're not doing this already that you need to make

1304
01:34:19,719 --> 01:34:26,800
sure part of your budget for learning to ride make sure you get a course unless

1305
01:34:24,360 --> 01:34:31,679
you have a super experienced rider to uh to train you and show you what to do um

1306
01:34:29,840 --> 01:34:36,560
and yeah basically yeah make sure you get a course and make sure you allocate

1307
01:34:33,440 --> 01:34:40,280
money for gear so this is my

1308
01:34:36,560 --> 01:34:42,600
rf100 is my sweet ass helmet um your

1309
01:34:40,280 --> 01:34:49,239
helmet should be the first thing you buy yes helmets are not that useful Beyond

1310
01:34:45,159 --> 01:34:51,920
about 60 70 km an hour even 50 um but if

1311
01:34:49,239 --> 01:34:57,600
you get into a pickle and you hit your head your intellect is your most

1312
01:34:54,639 --> 01:35:02,760
valuable possession you don't want to mess that up so uh I actually did an

1313
01:35:00,040 --> 01:35:07,320
unboxing video of this helmet way back when I got it so let's go ahead and uh

1314
01:35:05,080 --> 01:35:11,960
let's check that out here I bet there's not that many like showy helmet

1315
01:35:09,239 --> 01:35:17,440
unboxings on YouTube would there be showy helmet here there showy helmet

1316
01:35:17,520 --> 01:35:23,960
unboxing look at that hit number one

1317
01:35:20,760 --> 01:35:26,080
like a boss so here's me unboxing my

1318
01:35:23,960 --> 01:35:30,080
when I was like super excited I'd never ridden a motorcycle yet I got all my

1319
01:35:28,400 --> 01:35:34,320
gear from uh back then it was called new.com but now it's called

1320
01:35:31,679 --> 01:35:37,840
motorcyclegear.com pretty awesome so here I am like super excited about my

1321
01:35:36,159 --> 01:35:42,239
helmet so that's the same helmet I just showed you see see it looks the same uh

1322
01:35:40,520 --> 01:35:46,719
helmets are only good for about 5 years and rule number one of helmets never

1323
01:35:44,679 --> 01:35:51,679
ever whack them on anything always put them down on the ground where they'll be

1324
01:35:49,239 --> 01:35:56,000
safe and they won't fall because as soon as your helmet Falls and damages is the

1325
01:35:54,360 --> 01:36:00,239
uh the protective material inside it's totally useless okay so boots people

1326
01:35:58,760 --> 01:36:05,119
underestimate the importance of boots paid a couple hundred bucks for these they're rainproof in theory nothing's

1327
01:36:03,639 --> 01:36:10,719
rainproof when it comes to motorcycle gear something I discovered they have reflectors on the back totally useless

1328
01:36:08,360 --> 01:36:15,480
because my pants cover them anyway um but what I do like about these is

1329
01:36:12,560 --> 01:36:19,760
they're extremely ruggedly built very very thick on the top so that you don't

1330
01:36:17,360 --> 01:36:24,600
have any discomfort when you're shifting um and they have extra padding extra

1331
01:36:22,400 --> 01:36:27,800
armor built into things like the ankles so these things are important I was

1332
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:31,320
trying to explain to my mom who just is learning how to ride a motorcycle now

1333
01:36:29,639 --> 01:36:34,400
the importance of motorcycle boots and motorcycle gear in general and she said

1334
01:36:32,800 --> 01:36:38,760
oh no you'll just you know we'll wear hiking boots and you know two pairs of

1335
01:36:37,040 --> 01:36:42,159
jeans or what whatever whatever she thought she was going to be doing she

1336
01:36:40,119 --> 01:36:49,719
dropped the bike on the first day of training and uh and hurt her ankle I

1337
01:36:45,920 --> 01:36:52,560
said ma if you'd had proper riding boots

1338
01:36:49,719 --> 01:36:55,480
it's worth the money you wouldn't have had to deal with this boots are

1339
01:36:53,960 --> 01:37:01,000
expensive I paid a couple hundred for those but I think it's worth it pants

1340
01:36:59,239 --> 01:37:05,719
pants are important too so you got armor in the knees you got armor on the hips

1341
01:37:04,040 --> 01:37:10,679
um I actually spilled my bike once I spilled it on a on a wooden bridge um in

1342
01:37:08,080 --> 01:37:14,880
the rain and uh really unfortunate I wasn't going fast I was going like 8

1343
01:37:12,159 --> 01:37:19,239
kilometers an hour so I was I was 100% fine everything was okay but I was

1344
01:37:17,679 --> 01:37:24,199
thanked my lucky stars that I was wearing my pants and my jacket so I know

1345
01:37:22,239 --> 01:37:27,600
anyone's going to anyone who rides is going to see my textile gear and they're

1346
01:37:26,159 --> 01:37:31,600
going to be like lonus you have textile gear you suck get leather and you're

1347
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:38,159
right I should be wearing leather however I use my gear in all types of

1348
01:37:35,480 --> 01:37:42,360
weather so rain shine I'm out there on my bike um so really leather's not an

1349
01:37:40,520 --> 01:37:47,040
option for me it will get destroyed quick fast the way that I use my gear so

1350
01:37:45,119 --> 01:37:49,639
for a jacket most import couple important things so this is one of the

1351
01:37:48,280 --> 01:37:54,320
really cool tips that I picked up while I was shopping is you don't size a

1352
01:37:52,159 --> 01:37:58,119
motorcycle jacket the way you size a real jacket so you see when I put my

1353
01:37:56,159 --> 01:38:00,880
hands up like this my wrist is exposed the the the sleeve doesn't seem like the

1354
01:37:59,560 --> 01:38:05,800
right length that's for a really good reason that's because when I'm on my motorcycle and I'm pulling back on the

1355
01:38:04,119 --> 01:38:10,239
throttle with my other hand of course but I have to demo this if if the jacket

1356
01:38:08,400 --> 01:38:13,760
fit properly and the sleeve was up here it would be cutting off the circulation

1357
01:38:11,639 --> 01:38:17,360
on the back of my hand so that's why it always fits like this you always test

1358
01:38:15,480 --> 01:38:21,040
your motorcycle gear in a riding position see if it sits in the right

1359
01:38:19,080 --> 01:38:24,480
place see if you got all your Mobility find out if the armor is going to shift

1360
01:38:22,480 --> 01:38:28,320
so this one's got armor in elbows this one's got armor in the shoulders it's

1361
01:38:25,800 --> 01:38:32,000
got a back protector um usually get an aftermarket back protector I should

1362
01:38:29,760 --> 01:38:35,400
practice what I preach I don't have one but uh the ones that usually come in the

1363
01:38:33,679 --> 01:38:38,440
jackets kind of suck and this is about as waterproof as it gets for a

1364
01:38:36,760 --> 01:38:43,679
motorcycle jacket and it's not waterproof at all and then my gloves so

1365
01:38:40,639 --> 01:38:47,560
I wear Alpine Stars gloves these are sp

1366
01:38:43,679 --> 01:38:51,159
sp Stella sp8 yes these are ladies

1367
01:38:47,560 --> 01:38:53,920
gloves because I have small lady hands

1368
01:38:51,159 --> 01:38:57,000
but they fit me absolutely perfectly and the one thing where I splurged on

1369
01:38:55,320 --> 01:39:02,880
leather I spent over $100 doar on my gloves was gloves because leather gloves

1370
01:39:00,199 --> 01:39:06,320
are balling also textile gloves generally don't have armor built into

1371
01:39:04,719 --> 01:39:11,679
the back of them which is extremely important even in my small spill I fell

1372
01:39:09,119 --> 01:39:15,000
over whacked my hand on the back of the bridge had I not been wearing these

1373
01:39:13,560 --> 01:39:18,159
knuckle guards I don't know what would have happened but uh you can actually

1374
01:39:16,920 --> 01:39:22,679
see I don't actually I don't remember which hand it was yeah it was this one

1375
01:39:20,320 --> 01:39:28,520
cuz the knuckles are all scuffed up and and beat up from that one incident and

1376
01:39:25,360 --> 01:39:30,360
uh I I thanked every every decision that

1377
01:39:28,520 --> 01:39:33,960
I made about gear I was very thankful for it that day because my shoulder

1378
01:39:32,119 --> 01:39:38,520
didn't get bashed up my hip didn't get bashed up my knee was okay my ankle was

1379
01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:43,400
fine my hand was fine and my head never hit the ground but had it happened um I

1380
01:39:42,080 --> 01:39:49,679
would have been fine as well except I would have been out like 500 bucks I would have had to buy a new helmet so uh

1381
01:39:46,840 --> 01:39:52,480
yeah see they fit perfectly fingers right in the ends I have textile gloves

1382
01:39:51,239 --> 01:39:58,119
too when I'm riding in the ring so I just carry a couple carry an extra pair of gloves in the uh in the back of my

1383
01:39:55,560 --> 01:40:02,040
bike and that's pretty much it
