WEBVTT

00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:08.200
this the pre live stream live stream this is not the real live stream I'm

00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:11.400
just getting everything going right now making sure Firefox is my default

00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:17.840
browser which is a very important thing to do because Firefox is pretty much the

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

00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:27.439
monitor what you guys are doing over there set up some monitor ators

00:00:25.400 --> 00:00:31.720
t.tv Linus Tech I also made the YouTube video a

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

00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:39.440
and so if anyone actually follows this over here from YouTube then they'll be

00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:44.039
really disappointed if there's no live stream and I didn't want anyone from

00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:48.840
YouTube to be disappointed tonight and I don't want anyone from

00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:54.879
from twitch to be disappointed either there's a red dot holy crap look at the

00:00:51.559 --> 00:00:58.280

00:00:54.879 --> 00:01:00.519

00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:18.000
thing in the corner yeah we don't have any topics yet

00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:23.560
so I'm I'm just here kind of chilling for

00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:26.200
now uh I do have some topics for tonight

00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:31.360

that okay topics for tonight someone wanted me to do a lonus career tips

00:01:38.320 --> 00:01:42.759
segment so what the hey right I mean if

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

00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:52.079
me not that there's anything wrong with being a guidance counselor it's just

00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:54.719
like I don't think anyone goes to their guidance counselor's office and they're

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

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

00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:09.399
mean shout out to all the guidance counselors in the audience thank you for

00:02:06.880 --> 00:02:12.840
guiding us I mean I was having a funny conversation with someone um this must

00:02:11.720 --> 00:02:20.080
have been about it must have been about two days ago and basically I was

00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:22.480
marveling at the job that I have

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

00:02:24.519 --> 00:02:33.000
from high school in 2004 which basically means that YouTube

00:02:30.640 --> 00:02:37.360
didn't exist yet and I had actually completely forgotten that there was no

00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:42.040
YouTube when I was still in school so how could any guidance counselor have

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

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

00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:53.280
marveling that no guidance counselor could have ever told me oh yeah you know

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

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

00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:07.519
and AO you are right on time because we are just starting actually in five

00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:11.000
minutes this is just the the pre-show so maybe you know what maybe I'll do that

00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:13.920
story later I'm G to be like the radio where I pre-announce what stuff I'm

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

00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:21.959
and I make you guys sit through commercials let's do like uh let's do an

00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:21.959
iPhone

00:03:22.920 --> 00:03:27.840
commercial I don't remember the Apple music

00:03:45.239 --> 00:03:51.879
chat as well let me just hold on ah first first wait first let me just make

00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:55.439
a note in my topics for tonight email thread that I started to myself I mean

00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:58.720
who emails themselves do you guys email yourself are you like uh grocery

00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:03.480
shopping and you're like oh that's a great idea and you just send myself an email I do it all the time I actually

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

00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:12.439
story oh crap I don't even remember what story I was telling anymore tell the

00:04:10.640 --> 00:04:16.400
story about guidance counselors counselors I don't remember

00:04:14.799 --> 00:04:20.959
how to spell counselors but it's not autocorrecting me so let's assume that

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

00:04:23.280 --> 00:04:31.120
can see if I have any moderators tonight oh I've got fuzzy otter balls sweet and

00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:34.720
I have four moderators what do you guys think is four moderators enough for

00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:38.880
tonight we had some spam last week and that was pretty obnoxious and I do like

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

00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:48.840
to be mod this guy is a moderator in the

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

00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:56.080
see the option here couple more mods wouldn't hurt all right L okay it's

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

00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:03.240
otter balls you guys need other than fast mode and slow mode you need a

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

00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:11.759
just don't see it yeah I don't see that so yeah fuzzy otter balls great idea

00:05:09.840 --> 00:05:17.360
free of charge freeze mode

00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:20.120
um okay try try and hit someone here I'm

00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:23.960
not even getting the option you know what four should be enough four should

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

00:05:27.080 --> 00:05:32.199
even started yet I should do this pre-show thing more often because

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

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

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

00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:47.440
I get some votes for that idea what do you guys think pretty good pretty cool

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

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

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

00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:03.639
some serious serious upgrades to my

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

00:06:05.520 --> 00:06:13.440
to our live stream so number one is I have replaced the headset I was using

00:06:10.280 --> 00:06:15.639
before that ancient ass steel series or

00:06:13.440 --> 00:06:19.800
rather steel series no Sennheiser one I have replaced that with a steel series

00:06:17.479 --> 00:06:24.039
7h which I love and the mic is awesome and the headphones are awesome and I

00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:30.120
have also changed I have found that the best sound card solution is the Zonar u3

00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:34.039
so this is a little USB sound card that's fantastic I know the audio is

00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:38.639
cracking I touched the uh I touched the mic if there's some weirdness going on

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

00:06:41.080 --> 00:06:49.440
Foo bar itself also I have stopped using my power line connection and I have run

00:06:47.039 --> 00:06:54.960
an Ethernet cable from all the way upstairs like through that door over

00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:56.840
there upstairs to my switch and I have a

00:06:54.960 --> 00:07:01.479
full gigabit connection down here this time so no more Wireless no more power

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

00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:09.840
that are that are like they're lined and their power and they're interfering with

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

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

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

00:07:23.400 --> 00:07:29.680
pipe is going to make things so much

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

00:07:31.400 --> 00:07:37.440
point because you didn't actually say anything but I think you would see I

00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:41.680
don't H this is weird uh the mic quality is really not

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

00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:48.639
which is important actually we've got my

00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:52.639
gear is on its way if you guys are following me on Twitter then you'll

00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:56.800
probably already know this but uh if you're not following me on Twitter you

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

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

00:08:03.080 --> 00:08:07.919
I'm reading tweets I'm like something something at Linus Tech but what they

00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:11.919
actually mean is just something something lineus Tech and it just blows

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

00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:22.599
spent 13 Grand yes that's one three with

00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:22.599
three more zeros after it on New

00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:31.640
Gear like yeah it hurts me I I actually got my shipping notification yesterday

00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:36.640
so I bought myself an fs700 yes that is an

00:08:33.760 --> 00:08:42.000
$8500 camera with the kit lens I bought myself a new shotgun mic I

00:08:39.880 --> 00:08:48.440
bought myself two two HDMI capture cards so we are

00:08:45.959 --> 00:08:51.000
going to be doing an a roll and a b roll in future unboxings we're going to have

00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:55.720
two rolls um I bought myself a new tripod a

00:08:54.360 --> 00:09:01.399
new head for the tripod uh what else did I get I got new

00:08:58.160 --> 00:09:03.720
lights I got keynot flows it cost me

00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:08.560
three grand for two of these things two kits with

00:09:04.920 --> 00:09:10.440
stands um so we are talking some serious

00:09:08.560 --> 00:09:15.160
serious upgrading in terms of the quality around here because right now I

00:09:12.040 --> 00:09:18.560
am using a webcam and I am using this

00:09:15.160 --> 00:09:20.680
microphone I'm using this sound card and

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

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

00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:34.720
it's just it's a notebook and I I heart my my my desktop

00:09:32.640 --> 00:09:39.320
experience uh the curry was amazing by the way you must follow me on Twitter

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

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

00:09:47.880 --> 00:09:54.920
there that is where the coconut rice lives see that's my tiger rice cooker

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:47.760
o'clock my time or anything like that then I would have had a real problem

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

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

00:10:54.680 --> 00:11:00.320
I want to check YouTube really quick just to make sure that my link is

00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:04.880
correct I mean we've got a fair number of people watching the live stream

00:11:01.680 --> 00:11:07.399
already but you know it just it never

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

00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:16.040
love twitch and I love that you know people are following me me on Twitch and

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

00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:27.600
put the wrong Link in my video I do that kind of thing www.

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

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

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

00:11:38.920 --> 00:11:44.839
of you twitchers are are starting to follow along here and I know that I need

00:11:42.800 --> 00:11:50.120
to do more like gaming Hardware type of Q&A otherwise there's zero justification

00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:53.519
for having me on this website whatsoever but uh there's just so much stuff that

00:11:51.920 --> 00:11:58.000
people are asking that's not really that related to that I will be taking

00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:02.560
questions on Twitter tonight by the way guys I know that not all of you like

00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:06.959
Twitter and um yeah there's just not a whole lot I

00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:10.839
can do about that because Twitter is one of the most convenient ways for me to

00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:15.519
manage incoming questions because I can control how quickly they come in whereas

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

00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:26.720
I mean stuff's coming in so so fast um

00:12:23.680 --> 00:12:27.639
milova army says you have an sv650 I do

00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:34.199
I have an sv650s and I am super duper disappointed

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

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

00:12:41.199 --> 00:12:43.959
to ride if you're

00:12:44.680 --> 00:12:49.800
tired yeah so that that again yeah that

00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:53.399
was that was super disappointing to me and I I'm having a hard time signing

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:30.240
where's my Firefox where's my Firefox where's my Twitter come

00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:31.880
on need my Twitter there we go yes

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

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

00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:44.399
we're just going to stick with good old good old Firefox pretty much the best

00:13:41.920 --> 00:13:47.399
browser ever um it crashes on me all the time but it's still better than

00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:52.079
everything else so that should tell you what I think of pretty much everything

00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:53.880
else there is out there uh show us your

00:13:52.079 --> 00:13:59.600
baby my baby's in one of the videos that I've done so far

00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:01.040
and um yeah he's I think he's cute I

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

00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:09.440
questions predominantly on Twitter predominantly like this so that that

00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:12.440
will be the main way of us of us handling questions here

00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:19.440
tonight okay so let's kick this off let's start with my thing about guidance

00:14:16.680 --> 00:14:22.839
counselors so I was I was marveling to to a friend that actually two things I

00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:26.800
was marveling to a friend about that thing I talked about last week where um

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

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

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

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

00:14:40.800 --> 00:14:46.320
like in a career for six seven years now

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

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

00:14:54.399 --> 00:15:00.399
graduated in 2004 which basically means

00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:02.759
that um when I sat down and I was talking to my guidance counselor we

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

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

00:15:11.680 --> 00:15:17.639
could do with that and I think the challenge that a lot of people who get

00:15:14.880 --> 00:15:22.720
Science degrees run into is that they discover that really lab work um

00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:25.240
continuing education I can't hear you people are saying they can't hear me

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

00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:33.199
they go with continuing education they get their master's degree and or they or

00:15:31.160 --> 00:15:37.800
they go all the way to get their PHD and then they become professors which is

00:15:34.920 --> 00:15:42.120
basically just teacher again and um I wasn't really very good at school and uh

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

00:15:45.680 --> 00:15:51.959
talking to him we're talking about being a teacher so really the only options

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

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

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

00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:09.560
you know like a Paris Hilton where they're a a socialite like that's their

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

00:16:13.319 --> 00:16:21.240
um eight years ago I guess that anyone could have advised me that this would

00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:24.639
exist I mean never mind the the new setup I'm getting which is going to

00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:29.120
allow us to do a fairly high production value live show on a weekly basis or

00:16:27.319 --> 00:16:35.279
more than weekly basis or whatever we end up doing the ability to broadcast

00:16:32.800 --> 00:16:40.959
basically almost I mean what then would have been TV grade quality stuff on an

00:16:38.920 --> 00:16:45.279
on a com on a consumer internet connection uh from your house with like

00:16:43.839 --> 00:16:50.160
I mean really in the grand scheme of things yes I just spent $133,000 on

00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:55.880
equipment that's nothing compared to what that would have cost 10 years ago

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

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

00:17:01.160 --> 00:17:05.880
a kid uh living on the island you had uh

00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:09.720
you had a couple choices when you graduated high school you were going to

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

00:17:11.600 --> 00:17:18.240
40 years everything is so different now

00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:22.679
totally totally different um so yeah I think that's uh I think that's pretty

00:17:20.199 --> 00:17:26.400
cool so speaking of guidance counselors my first topic tonight is uh people

00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:30.559
someone asked I forget who requested this on Twitter but someone asked me to

00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:34.880
do something online as career tips talk about the various careers and jobs that

00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:37.880
are available in computers and it now I'm not going to talk about programming

00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:41.880
I'm not going to talk about any of the professional stuff because I believe the

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

00:17:43.760 --> 00:17:50.440
retail sales rep um as a retail sales rep you know what you can actually do

00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:56.000
okay especially if you're knowledgeable I mean what I the approach I always took

00:17:52.760 --> 00:17:58.080
was yeah I upsold people I always upsell

00:17:56.000 --> 00:18:02.440
people because I actually genuinely believe no nobody should buy a TN

00:17:59.919 --> 00:18:07.240
monitor I genuinely believe nobody should buy a video card for less than

00:18:03.919 --> 00:18:10.039
$100 or like $89.99 when it's on promo

00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:14.320
because the stuff that is under those under those price points is not good

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

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

00:18:22.919 --> 00:18:28.799
the cars and in your free time you come into the dealership and you drive all

00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:33.120
the cars so that you are knowledgeable you're educated and you can inform

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

00:18:35.280 --> 00:18:41.200
actually did better than I did for my first year after I transferred to head

00:18:38.840 --> 00:18:44.280
office um the other one is Tech work Tech work is really challenging though

00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:49.280
because there's a variety of different things available I mean is there anyone

00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:51.960
in the audience who is a Best Buy Geek

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

00:18:53.640 --> 00:19:00.720
anyone out there is a Best Buy Geek Squad member and tell us is it tough

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

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

00:19:12.280 --> 00:19:18.440
putting up like flyers everywhere and getting people to come and uh and bring

00:19:16.120 --> 00:19:21.200
their computers to you for for for fixing and you know what you can

00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:24.520
actually make a pretty good hourly rate but it's really hard to find clients if

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

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

00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:41.200
and the stories he tells I'm just

00:19:36.600 --> 00:19:43.120
like what I mean he he one of the other

00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:48.039
texts there actually advised the customer I forget the context of it but

00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:49.799
advised a customer if he was going to if

00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:53.159
he wanted to remove the screen on his laptop I don't even remember why the

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

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

00:19:58.760 --> 00:20:03.320
kind of ludicrous stuff that goes on there and then if you're one of the

00:20:01.840 --> 00:20:07.280
mobile guys then you're then you're mobile so so basically if you're

00:20:05.280 --> 00:20:10.520
freelance and you can get enough clients yeah you can do okay whereas if you join

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

00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:18.000
ton of commission um something like NCI is somewhere in the middle where you

00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:22.320
have enough clients you do get a decent Commission on everything you do and you

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

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

00:20:27.919 --> 00:20:33.280
Tom's Hardware hardocp whatever sites you like whatever forums go to Hardware

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

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

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

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

00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:55.720
want me doing Tech because I was really good at sales I was always selling like

00:20:53.159 --> 00:20:59.080
these massive systems that had like dual graphics cards and stuff cuz I I

00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:03.080
believed in this stuff I was like yeah stuff's cool you should totally buy it

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

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

00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:15.039
store manager um for store manager I'd say it's a totally different skill set

00:21:13.279 --> 00:21:19.080
because you don't actually necessarily need to know anything about the

00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:22.640
technology a good manager can manage anything I believe that's true the same

00:21:20.919 --> 00:21:26.840
way that I believe a good salesman can sell anything however the overlap

00:21:24.919 --> 00:21:31.440
between good salespeople like salespeople by nature and and guys who

00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:35.279
are super into technology Enthusiast guys is actually not that big I mean

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

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

00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:47.919
I think we all know the answer to that

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

00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:56.720
be that true Enthusiast who's really really trying to learn and really trying

00:21:53.200 --> 00:22:00.000
to be passionate I mean I never uh I

00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:04.679
never took a course for computer stuff I

00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:06.679
just read and read and read all day all

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

00:22:09.760 --> 00:22:15.679
review so even if I hadn't laid hands on a current generation motherboard I could

00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:19.960
tell you how to overclock it I could tell you what CPUs were optimized for it

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

00:22:21.320 --> 00:22:26.039
ever going to succeed okay moving right along uh

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

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

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

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

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

00:22:42.520 --> 00:22:47.720
couple bucks and I always tell these people the same thing and I I feel bad

00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:53.039
because it's bad news and I don't like giving people bad news

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

00:22:54.880 --> 00:23:02.360
guys know this or if you understand this but in the IT industry on a board

00:22:59.320 --> 00:23:03.720
there's no profit so the best discount

00:23:02.360 --> 00:23:07.279
like the best deal you're going to get from whatever store you're working with

00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:12.520
is probably a couple perc off and when we're talking something that costs $200

00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:15.520
we're talking like $5 maybe $10 if

00:23:12.520 --> 00:23:19.520
you're really persistent off of off off

00:23:15.520 --> 00:23:21.200
of a sticker price okay so then how much

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

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

00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:34.200
have One support issue with that PC that

00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:36.679
50 bucks is gone it's gone you just have

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

00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:46.880
there's no money in assembling it because you know guys like HP or those

00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:49.679
those those those big box guys are just you know building these things on

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

00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:59.279
like an IB power who are assembling the PCS with a production system behind it

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

00:24:01.919 --> 00:24:06.799
the recommendation I give to these people is if you're still in high school

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

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

00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:18.000
helping people you're letting people come to you and you're just kind of

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

00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:24.840
a couple bucks for Consulting with them and helping them get better value out of

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

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

00:24:31.960 --> 00:24:37.960
Edition your computer costs $2,000 that is a terrible value you

00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:42.200
shouldn't be buying an extreme addition unless your computer costs $5,000

00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:46.159
otherwise the balance is completely out of whack it's not right you need to be

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:25:08.919 --> 00:25:15.080
well again it's not going to work without super hard work and researching

00:25:13.159 --> 00:25:19.320
everything you have to be sure because One support call will cost you anything

00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:24.440
you could have possibly made on that transaction um oh yeah this was this was

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

00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:32.200
second so let's um let's let's put up

00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:33.880
like I don't know the Twitter feed or

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

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

00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:47.799
the ARM see the ARM behind me it's me calm down just a sec

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

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

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

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

00:26:28.600 --> 00:26:34.840
Windows Vista backpack so just deal with

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

00:26:37.320 --> 00:26:43.919
really not that different all right so number one I have a tablet in my bag

00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:47.720
tablets are handy because if you need to be looking something up or doing

00:26:46.360 --> 00:26:51.919
something other than the computer you're working on you can't rely on the

00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:54.720
computer you're working on in order to you know uh give you instructions for

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

00:26:58.360 --> 00:27:04.760
get help because no one can remember absolutely everything so uh so a tablet

00:27:03.159 --> 00:27:07.919
is huge because that way you can be referring to that while you uh while

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

00:27:11.320 --> 00:27:17.080
like super bogged down and slow uh okay

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

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

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

00:27:26.120 --> 00:27:32.320
media conference and uh so I I had to wear my riding boots okay

00:27:30.760 --> 00:27:37.559
I keep a camera in mind that's not necessarily necessary for you however I

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

00:27:39.159 --> 00:27:44.799
is I always take a before and after picture never hurts to have a proper

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

00:27:47.080 --> 00:27:56.000
like eight megapixels and blah blah blah but the reality of it is image quality

00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:58.640
okay image quality is about light it's

00:27:56.000 --> 00:28:03.279
simple physics the more surface area on the sensor and the

00:28:00.840 --> 00:28:07.840
bigger the Optics the better the image it's not about megapixels so you can

00:28:05.640 --> 00:28:13.799
take that to the bank all right putting aside my camera

00:28:11.320 --> 00:28:18.120
what else we got in here okay I always keep a couple spare components in this

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

00:28:20.120 --> 00:28:25.559
of RAM um you know like a crappy video

00:28:23.120 --> 00:28:30.200
card a crappy Nick you should always have a crappy inter uh Network work hard

00:28:28.679 --> 00:28:34.120
because you never know when you're going to run into some stupid issue where

00:28:32.600 --> 00:28:39.080
you're trying to download like an antivirus and their Nick is dead and

00:28:37.760 --> 00:28:44.120
they don't have another computer you can't download new drivers um total

00:28:42.159 --> 00:28:46.720
total disaster you always want to make sure that you're connected and that's

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

00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:55.000
spare Hardware maybe you don't keep it in your backpack but keep it somewhere

00:28:51.840 --> 00:28:57.240
close by uh ah yes if you guys watch my

00:28:55.000 --> 00:29:01.640
show you'll know the iconic screwdriver always have a screwdriver driver always

00:28:59.360 --> 00:29:07.679
have ah this in the end of my screwdriver I keep five things I know

00:29:05.039 --> 00:29:12.760
there are exactly five I have a slote head okay I have a standard Robertson

00:29:11.080 --> 00:29:16.720
this comes in handy all the time not for computers mind you I have a really

00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:20.760
skinny Phillips head and it's not focusing on this but whatever you get

00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:26.880
the point I have a really wide Phillips head okay so more torque for uh for

00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:30.120
strip screws stuff like that and I keep

00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:32.200
a very strong needle I keep a needle in

00:29:30.120 --> 00:29:36.480
here because needles are useful for all kinds of stuff whether it's you know

00:29:34.320 --> 00:29:40.600
pulling pins out of a Molex connector or whether it's just like poking at

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

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

00:29:46.720 --> 00:29:53.080
very important um and then of course my standard phillips head which is the one

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

00:29:54.679 --> 00:30:00.600
this is a Snap-On ratcheting screwdriver it costs about 100 bucks ailable in a

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

00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:09.159
$100 for a screwdriver CU I'm totally cheap but um whatever needl noose pliers

00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:14.320
if you don't have needlenose pliers in your Tech bag then you suck give up

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

00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:24.159
here we go okay cut offs these are great for

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

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

00:30:28.840 --> 00:30:34.279
store okay this is not related this is my battery case for my iPhone that

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

00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:43.159
later I hate micro USB micro USB is the stupidest connector that ever existed

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

00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:50.279
about that later okay what else we got in here I always keep an extra SLI

00:30:48.399 --> 00:30:54.720
Bridge because you never know you might be working on a high-end computer you

00:30:52.080 --> 00:31:00.159
might I have seen defective SLI Bridges cause all kinds of weird crap ah adapter

00:30:58.440 --> 00:31:04.559
if you don't keep adapters in your Tech bag you suck because you will never

00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:10.240
succeed if you don't have adapters where's my DVI to VGA

00:31:07.760 --> 00:31:14.559
adapter okay apparently I suck because I don't think I have it right now but

00:31:12.360 --> 00:31:18.880
normally I have a DVI to VGA adapter I have a mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter

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

00:31:20.360 --> 00:31:25.960
HDMI to DVI adapter get the kind that

00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:31.399
has the analog pinouts even though they don't do anything because otherwise

00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:35.480
DVI cables will not plug into it so there's ones that don't have those

00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:39.720
analog pins holes even though they're not connected to anything and you

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

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

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

00:31:49.799 --> 00:31:57.080
somewhere and screw something in very very very handy I keep a three-way SLI

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

00:31:58.799 --> 00:32:04.120
encounter that more often than most card reader always have a card reader always

00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:07.559
always always uh I have an adapter here because

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

00:32:11.399 --> 00:32:16.320
plugging in more fans than you otherwise have another card reader this one does

00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:21.600
compact flash as well those are both usb3 card readers because I'm a baller

00:32:18.760 --> 00:32:25.320
uh more SLI Bridges this is this is not necessary but different lengths of SLI

00:32:23.840 --> 00:32:29.399
Bridges might come in handy this is yet another screwdriver this one has torqus

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

00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:36.919
you ever have to remove um modern video cards some of them are using stupid

00:32:35.159 --> 00:32:40.200
torque screws because manufacturers apparently don't want you removing the

00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:43.880
stock heat sinks um so yeah you should have that Allen Keys always have Allen

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

00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:53.000
good one Molex teda power adapter keep

00:32:50.600 --> 00:32:56.840
these on you at all times because you never know when someone's going to give

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

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

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

00:33:08.399 --> 00:33:15.240
extra SATA connectors on their power supply and you're like

00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:19.039
no keep one of these on you very important actually you should probably

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

00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:24.840
have in here I always keep a couple of water cooling barbs on me because I

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

00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:33.480
different things here we go okay I always have a bunch of SD cards on me

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

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

00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:47.600
same crap this is all my benchmarking utilities all my diagnostic utilities um

00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:50.440
this one doesn't work in usb3 ports anymore for some reason so this is kind

00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:54.799
of my replacement for that one I'm in transition right now though I'm in

00:33:52.080 --> 00:33:57.919
transition um and never trust a USB drive always make sure that you have it

00:33:56.480 --> 00:34:01.960
set to sync when you plug it into your master computer this guy right here is

00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:04.960
cool because it has a variety of different Windows operating systems on

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

00:34:06.600 --> 00:34:12.839
channel so I keep them in folders you just pull everything out into the folder

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

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

00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:23.720
you have a USB drive with all the relevant Windows os's already in there

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

00:34:25.760 --> 00:34:31.760
motherboard standoff screwdriver so it's kind looks kind of like a jeweler

00:34:29.159 --> 00:34:36.040
screwdriver super super handy you want one of

00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:37.800
these okay um I have a badminton racket

00:34:36.040 --> 00:34:41.159
grip but that might not be relevant to everyone and I think that pretty much oh

00:34:39.720 --> 00:34:44.119
yes business cards make sure you always have business cards in your bag because

00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:48.240
if you don't have business cards and you suck because no one will remember you

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

00:34:50.599 --> 00:34:54.760
nerd food is fast nerd food always carry a

00:34:55.240 --> 00:35:02.320
fork so there that is my segment on what

00:34:59.040 --> 00:35:03.880
is in my bag um and my bag is extremely

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

once he did it once so what a good boy see say hi everyone do you guys want to

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

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

00:35:54.680 --> 00:36:00.119
he has what's kind of a a weird spider

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

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

00:36:06.359 --> 00:36:13.920
Aesthetics but I think it makes him more beautiful because he's my little man and

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

00:36:16.319 --> 00:36:23.400

you can get down now uh where where we going with that it's been 30 minutes

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

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

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

00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:07.440
so you guys can actually see what the hey we're talking about no trusty video

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

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

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

00:37:18.920 --> 00:37:26.400
few people that need 16 gigs today gamers are not one set of those people

00:37:24.040 --> 00:37:31.160
people who do 3D rendering people who do video editing with After Effects they

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

00:37:33.839 --> 00:37:40.440
rendering machine that diesel has said that we really need more RAM in so we're

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

00:37:43.680 --> 00:37:50.880
everything uh okay moving right along

00:37:46.800 --> 00:37:52.760
Linus GTX 590 or 680 if a 590 is cheaper

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

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

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

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

00:38:06.880 --> 00:38:13.280
590 bear that in mind but heat is an

00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:15.480
issue especially in the summer lus your

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

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

00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:31.520
could be could be to do with anything I yeah I don't know

00:38:28.160 --> 00:38:33.760
all right hi Linus I know you say any

00:38:31.520 --> 00:38:37.640
sound card is better than none but is there any sub $100 value sound card

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

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

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

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

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

00:38:58.359 --> 00:39:03.560
for yeah there it is the dgx if you're

00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:07.040
going to use headphones you want a dgx if you're not going to use headphones

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

00:39:09.520 --> 00:39:16.839
so don't worry too much about it uh jarus what is your opinion of

00:39:14.760 --> 00:39:19.960
braided cables sold by manufacturers for their modular power supplies are they

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

00:39:22.480 --> 00:39:27.880
you want the aesthetic of the of the

00:39:25.480 --> 00:39:31.520
aftermarket cables I mean that's pretty much it this is a purely aesthetic thing

00:39:29.599 --> 00:39:35.200
there is no performance benefit to it whatsoever if anything if I think you're

00:39:33.640 --> 00:39:40.160
talking about those individually sleeve cables if anything individually sleeved

00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:44.319
cables are are less effective for your

00:39:40.160 --> 00:39:47.119
airf flow um than than a massively just

00:39:44.319 --> 00:39:50.680
single sleeved uh single sleeved Bunch because it actually splits it up and

00:39:48.319 --> 00:39:54.960
makes the cables more bulky so I personally like the look I'm I'm double

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

00:39:56.760 --> 00:40:01.800
with one sleeve and uh to me it's it has a value but not

00:40:00.640 --> 00:40:08.280
to everyone Donald oh man Donald my PSU

00:40:06.400 --> 00:40:13.079
popped what are the chance my other components got overloaded you know what

00:40:10.640 --> 00:40:17.079
these days less likely especially guys like Gigabyte build a lot of fail safes

00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:21.880
into their motherboards to keep surges from spreading too far but it could have

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

00:40:23.680 --> 00:40:30.760
what happens if the uh if the magic Blue Smoke Gets released from your Hardware

00:40:28.400 --> 00:40:30.760
then you'll

00:40:31.520 --> 00:40:36.880
know Tim which is better for radiators

00:40:35.079 --> 00:40:42.599
if you only have room for one set of fans push or pull for performance it

00:40:40.359 --> 00:40:46.760
actually doesn't make a difference um for performance it's pretty much

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

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

00:40:54.760 --> 00:41:00.119
pushing this way the dust accumulates

00:40:57.920 --> 00:41:04.560
under the blades of the fan on the radiator fins it's very hard to clean

00:41:02.720 --> 00:41:08.960
especially if you get any buildup if you're pulling air through the radiator

00:41:06.720 --> 00:41:12.880
dust accumulates on the fins here still but you can easily just kind of grab it

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

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

00:41:20.079 --> 00:41:29.200
questions on Twitter right now however I do keep an eye on the twitch chat so

00:41:24.480 --> 00:41:30.760
every once in a while I uh I I do stuff

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

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

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

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

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

00:41:51.000 --> 00:41:56.800
on Twitter just stop stop watching right now go follow slick PC on Twitter

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

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

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

00:42:10.240 --> 00:42:15.440
7970 gigz Edition better than the 680 no

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

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

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

00:42:29.160 --> 00:42:36.240
multim monitor experience go with the 7970 figure out I mean what's your plan

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

00:42:38.119 --> 00:42:43.359
you don't then don't then don't all

00:42:44.040 --> 00:42:53.040
right Josh Josh hey what is the best HDMI and

00:42:49.160 --> 00:42:57.920
what do you think I think the best HDMI

00:42:53.040 --> 00:42:59.280
is um the HDMI that is like

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

00:43:01.440 --> 00:43:08.480
um HDMI HDMI is good actually I don't

00:43:05.440 --> 00:43:09.800
really like HDMI I'm a big fan of DVI

00:43:08.480 --> 00:43:15.920
because it carries more bandwidth than HDMI although HDMI 1.4 whatever I think

00:43:13.839 --> 00:43:20.160
it's 1.4 compliant devices with the faster processing chip are finally

00:43:17.640 --> 00:43:24.720
caught up to DVI um I mean DisplayPort is the way of the future HDMI is

00:43:22.280 --> 00:43:30.480
honestly holding back things like 4K I mean 4K is supported at 24 FPS s which

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

00:43:33.520 --> 00:43:40.319
of compressed thing with HDMI it's not truly fast enough for really anything

00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:44.359
these days um although I did discover some really cool HDMI cables recently

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

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

00:43:49.319 --> 00:43:56.160
kind of amazing because they have everything and it's uh it's this stuff

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

00:43:57.920 --> 00:44:05.680
long HDMI cables that are thin and redm

00:44:01.440 --> 00:44:08.400
allows you to have a 28 AWG wire and up

00:44:05.680 --> 00:44:14.079
to a 60ft cable for like 75 bucks which is absolutely outstanding um I'm super

00:44:11.880 --> 00:44:19.319
super impressed with with that whole idea and uh so I'll be using that for

00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:22.960
for my camera as I'm like as I have someone floating around with the camera

00:44:20.599 --> 00:44:27.079
taking b roll footage during an unboxing I'm going to have that long wire running

00:44:25.240 --> 00:44:30.200
without the weight on the HDMI connection that would cause it to break

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

00:44:33.800 --> 00:44:41.839
so yeah I'm super super excited about that uh Matthew says mini USB are slow

00:44:39.119 --> 00:44:45.640
and crappy yes they are I hate them actually they're not slow they're just

00:44:43.160 --> 00:44:49.599
USB but but they're crappy I hate them they break they suck all right I

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

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

00:44:57.599 --> 00:45:05.079
much smaller and hey I'm saving this rent for later you guys are killing me

00:45:02.200 --> 00:45:09.720
here um Adrian says is SSD of different brands really differs a lot in terms of

00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:14.040
durability I just bought a hyperx 3K is it durable compared to Intel uh the

00:45:11.720 --> 00:45:18.359
answer would be probably not Intel doesn't really spec out what PE cycle

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

00:45:20.640 --> 00:45:27.599
which basically means that drive will inherently last about 66% longer than

00:45:25.599 --> 00:45:31.800
the drive you just bought and a regular hyperx drive not the 3K will actually

00:45:29.640 --> 00:45:37.400
last longer as well however even with a 3K PE cycle um with the intelligence of

00:45:35.280 --> 00:45:42.760
the of the wear leveling algorithms in modern ssds you really don't have to

00:45:39.440 --> 00:45:46.559
worry about it that much I mean it's um

00:45:42.760 --> 00:45:49.960
by the time your SSD dies due to the

00:45:46.559 --> 00:45:52.440
flash degrading 120 gigs will be

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

00:45:54.599 --> 00:46:03.240
years from now or like it'll be like five years ago being concerned about

00:45:59.040 --> 00:46:05.800
like your your 250 gig hard drive I mean

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

00:46:07.520 --> 00:46:12.440
that flood but for a while there you could buy hard drives for like 40 bucks

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

00:46:16.880 --> 00:46:19.880
worthless

00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:27.720
um oh test tester says what was that camera test tester should follow me with

00:46:26.440 --> 00:46:32.079
a real Twitter account and then maybe I'll answer his question actually no I'm

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

00:46:33.480 --> 00:46:39.359
for years for my video blog um my

00:46:37.079 --> 00:46:43.160
original one was actually awesome and didn't have a big fat scratch on the

00:46:41.040 --> 00:46:47.960
lens and when that one died because I spilled chicken soup on it I had to

00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:52.760
replace it and the sx1 I was gone and Canon didn't have a direct replacement

00:46:49.720 --> 00:46:54.400
that was able to take great 1080p video

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

00:46:56.400 --> 00:47:02.040
complaints that I get from you guys about the autofocus there's nothing I

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

00:47:03.920 --> 00:47:09.280
Twitter and then I I can't answer

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

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

00:47:14.520 --> 00:47:19.240
Twitter um so yeah sx1 is new camera

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

00:47:21.760 --> 00:47:28.920
right uh I painted houses yes I did paint houses I painted houses for two

00:47:25.240 --> 00:47:31.319
summers with student Works

00:47:28.920 --> 00:47:36.800
painting all right moving right along moving right along moving right along oh

00:47:34.960 --> 00:47:43.119
who wants a shout out Jerry Guan wants a shout out hi Jerry oh my goodness it's

00:47:41.200 --> 00:47:47.599
Jerry oh sorry I was thinking of Seinfeld Jerry

00:47:44.760 --> 00:47:52.240
Guan huh no I'm just kidding yeah shout out to Jerry Guan okay lonus is NCIX

00:47:50.920 --> 00:47:56.839
ever going International funny you should ask because NC is already in the

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

00:47:59.920 --> 00:48:05.839
any kind of future expansion honestly I'm like the YouTube guy I'm a product

00:48:04.040 --> 00:48:09.480
manager I'm a category manager so I'm not exactly like you know like peon

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

00:48:12.599 --> 00:48:18.680
that kind of stuff when's the next personal rig

00:48:15.839 --> 00:48:23.160
update honestly here's the problem right now I'm working on dremeling I get home

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

00:48:25.599 --> 00:48:31.160
35,000 p.m. in my garage my wife will

00:48:28.720 --> 00:48:34.920
kill me she will absolutely destroy me so this weekend I'm hoping to find some

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

00:48:36.520 --> 00:48:43.920
actually post post an update so I'm super excited about that uh Gabriel says

00:48:41.640 --> 00:48:49.319
does NCI ship custom computers to the us the answer is yes but not really you

00:48:46.359 --> 00:48:54.200
have to jump through some hoops email PC that is PC

00:48:52.680 --> 00:48:59.640
nci.com and the Crazy Russian or Brian the gamer

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

00:49:01.799 --> 00:49:09.400
they will they'll make sure that you can buy a

00:49:05.079 --> 00:49:11.920
PC all right Juan solo Juan solo that's

00:49:09.400 --> 00:49:17.839
awesome that is just awesome ju solo Oh man uh do you think

00:49:16.160 --> 00:49:22.319
College University is necessary for a job in it I would say it's not necessary

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

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

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

00:49:35.000 --> 00:49:40.440
do I mean you want to be a programmer um you should probably get some education

00:49:38.319 --> 00:49:44.079
unless you're really good at being self-educated uh if you want to be like

00:49:42.160 --> 00:49:47.839
a technician or whatever else no totally not necessary but it really depends what

00:49:46.760 --> 00:49:52.520
you're talking about I mean do you want to be a motherboard engineer then like

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

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

00:49:58.079 --> 00:50:02.720
about smuggling or like he's going to tell me about smuggling and I was going

00:50:01.359 --> 00:50:07.799
to be like amazed I was going to talk about like the Kastle

00:50:04.520 --> 00:50:07.799
run now I'm

00:50:12.520 --> 00:50:18.839
disappointed all right let's see if we got any more questions Michael wants to

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

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

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

00:50:30.640 --> 00:50:37.480
going to censor any of this stuff so let's go I actually sort my music

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

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

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

00:50:48.599 --> 00:50:53.520
we've got some Abba all right we've got

00:50:51.720 --> 00:50:57.640
Adam Gregory who was like a one- hit wonder got some Ace of Base um what

00:50:56.240 --> 00:51:03.000
other terrible stuff do we have in here Alanis Moret Alanis Moret is a Canadian

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

00:51:05.119 --> 00:51:12.000
some Bare Naked Ladies Bare Naked Ladies is good stuff Canadians Canadians all I

00:51:09.359 --> 00:51:16.359
got some Backstreet Boys in here so my my music collection is probably one of

00:51:13.799 --> 00:51:23.319
the most eclectic music collections you will ever encounter I listen to almost

00:51:19.520 --> 00:51:24.680
everything um got some chumba WBA some

00:51:23.319 --> 00:51:27.140
little bit of Coldplay some Carry Underwood See I'm going to I'm going to

00:51:26.319 --> 00:51:32.679
I'm going to make you guys

00:51:37.640 --> 00:51:42.400
suff yeah yeah so uh so yeah that's uh

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

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

00:51:48.280 --> 00:51:55.319
suffer so I think what you discovered is that you no longer want to

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

00:51:57.760 --> 00:52:02.119
guys come on and sorry I didn't know

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

00:52:04.319 --> 00:52:11.839
tested that feature before however however I want you guys to oh no no I

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

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

00:52:18.520 --> 00:52:25.359
going to search for like um lonus um lus

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

00:52:27.680 --> 00:52:34.960
something all right let's go with this video the one where I like Hulk lift

00:52:31.599 --> 00:52:38.680
this case so check this out check this

00:52:34.960 --> 00:52:40.000
out have you ever had Deja Deja and I

00:52:38.680 --> 00:52:46.040
want you guys to tell me if the sound level the headphone jack is

00:52:43.079 --> 00:52:51.839
going is it working do you have sound good stuff so the Scout is more

00:52:49.160 --> 00:52:55.760
along the with a rubber coating on the outside it's actually great you can

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

00:52:59.559 --> 00:53:06.520
uh like on Theos 2 which have those those

00:53:03.520 --> 00:53:08.559
beautifuls running down both sides of

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

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

00:53:17.240 --> 00:53:22.640
you're unboxing it you might find had

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

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

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

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

00:53:37.480 --> 00:53:44.240
weights the only exercise that I have done in the last sort of two to three

00:53:41.880 --> 00:53:49.880
years is playing badminton so what you guys will notice is that here I'll see

00:53:47.559 --> 00:53:54.720
if I can show this to you my right ARM right here is significantly wider

00:53:52.839 --> 00:53:59.559
especially here in the forearm say I'll Flex them both then my left ARM and

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:54:23.839 --> 00:54:32.119
sedentary and not do anything but um yeah it's it's important it's really

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:54:55.880 --> 00:55:02.680
those question C questions like um you

00:55:00.079 --> 00:55:05.960
know if you saw a fellow employee shoplifting something trivial like

00:55:04.520 --> 00:55:11.799
something small like five bucks or something and uh they were a close

00:55:08.160 --> 00:55:13.799
friend of yours would you a say nothing

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

00:55:16.280 --> 00:55:21.720
supervisor and I answered honestly I would do B I wouldn't take it straight

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

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

00:55:28.400 --> 00:55:36.119
opposed to filling in the obvious answer that they wanted to hear and um without

00:55:34.079 --> 00:55:41.079
even taking long enough for anyone to review my application it rejected it and

00:55:39.280 --> 00:55:44.920
so what I realized and it was totally unrealistic stuff like you'd have to be

00:55:42.640 --> 00:55:51.760
some kind of like like unbelievable like straight arrow um

00:55:50.000 --> 00:55:55.760
to to actually answer all these questions the way they wanted to hear it

00:55:53.960 --> 00:56:00.440
and so what I realized is that Future Shops hiring policy at that time

00:55:58.720 --> 00:56:06.680
prevented anyone honest from actually working there like if you were if you

00:56:02.480 --> 00:56:09.160
were honest filling out the survey then

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

00:56:11.119 --> 00:56:16.079
right time so um yeah I I never

00:56:14.359 --> 00:56:19.039
reapplied not only did it not only did it reject my application but they told

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

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

00:56:26.960 --> 00:56:32.280
who knows things could have been totally different what if this was Future Shop

00:56:30.160 --> 00:56:36.680
Tech tips I mean we were we were like this close to this being Future Shop

00:56:33.960 --> 00:56:40.760
Tech tips and uh and it would be about like Monster

00:56:38.480 --> 00:56:45.680
Cables no I would never do that don't worry guys I know better than

00:56:42.640 --> 00:56:47.760
that okay Lewis asks me if you were to

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

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

00:56:53.760 --> 00:56:59.280
stressful I work super hard I work long hours

00:56:56.799 --> 00:57:02.960
if I was going to choose another job I would be a technician again I would

00:57:00.960 --> 00:57:08.400
assemble PCS again because I actually still enjoy it and it's just not

00:57:05.680 --> 00:57:11.640
stressful and um yeah yeah that's probably what I

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:57:36.359 --> 00:57:44.079
it forget it I'm not going to try uh Joshua says what do you think

00:57:40.440 --> 00:57:47.200
about Opera um I can't really sing it

00:57:44.079 --> 00:57:49.119
but I I I mean I guess if it was playing

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

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

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

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

00:58:03.039 --> 00:58:10.720
logins that are in all of them so it's just very convenient that

00:58:06.799 --> 00:58:13.359
way okay moving right along

00:58:10.720 --> 00:58:18.119
then lus please answer how does overclocking affect product lifetime I

00:58:15.960 --> 00:58:21.000
would postulate that unless you're going really extreme and you're like trying to

00:58:19.640 --> 00:58:24.720
break stuff so if you're staying reasonable you're staying within sort of

00:58:22.760 --> 00:58:27.280
the community's generally accepted guidelines for how much voltage you

00:58:25.960 --> 00:58:30.200
should should push through how much heat you should be outputting um how high you

00:58:29.359 --> 00:58:35.720
should go probably not enough that it matters

00:58:33.359 --> 00:58:39.839
however I have had a CPU die outright an overclocked CPU I have had CPUs degrade

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

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

00:58:46.799 --> 00:58:52.760
changing my Hardware before it ever mattered so I just sell it and then I

00:58:51.160 --> 00:58:56.520
just say yeah it overclocks to this much and your mileage may vary and then I

00:58:54.200 --> 00:59:00.520
don't worry too much about it put Twitter up please oh sorry guys

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

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

00:59:07.319 --> 00:59:14.720
is awesome it's lighter than the Vulcan it sounds better than anything else out

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

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

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

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

00:59:31.880 --> 00:59:35.599
upstairs in order to wear them for this live

00:59:36.079 --> 00:59:39.079
stream

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

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

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

00:59:51.400 --> 00:59:57.319
from his kitchen with technology that would have cost tens maybe hundreds

00:59:56.039 --> 01:00:01.680
hundreds of thousands of dollars 10 years ago 20 years

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

01:00:03.119 --> 01:00:08.440
the new oh my goodness 395 new interactions okay you know what we're

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

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

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

01:00:21.119 --> 01:00:27.280
thought this was a really really good question from whoever I forget but he he

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

01:00:29.319 --> 01:00:34.559
stream uh the odds of getting through to me are actually a lot better um chat

01:00:33.160 --> 01:00:42.720
room shout outs says ghost the capitalist ghost the capitalist shout

01:00:36.480 --> 01:00:44.680
out to you yay yay um right so used hard

01:00:42.720 --> 01:00:47.559
drives used hard drives are an interesting one so there's a couple

01:00:45.799 --> 01:00:52.400
things number one is that hard drives generally fail within the first like 30

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

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

01:00:58.720 --> 01:01:05.000
and then they'll start to drop off gradually um so used hard drives

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

01:01:07.599 --> 01:01:13.839
buying this from um how much have they been using it is has this been sitting

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

01:01:15.799 --> 01:01:20.799
jostled it hasn't been bumped had um so

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

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

01:01:26.520 --> 01:01:32.280
number three is it's still under warranty because if you're buying a used

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

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

01:01:38.599 --> 01:01:42.960
said that his work or his boss or something like that buys a lot of use

01:01:41.640 --> 01:01:47.119
hard drives and doesn't really worry about it and my Approach there is I've

01:01:45.359 --> 01:01:51.359
used lots of used hard drives and referb hard drives in my Windows Home Server V1

01:01:49.480 --> 01:01:56.680
if you're doing regular and I mean regular frequent very frequent backups

01:01:55.039 --> 01:02:01.839
then I actually don't inherently have a problem with using something like a used

01:01:58.440 --> 01:02:03.319
hard drive um if you're if it's got to

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

01:02:05.760 --> 01:02:12.000
carefully dead hard drive um but yeah if it's been shipped carefully or you're

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

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

01:02:20.520 --> 01:02:27.839
buy something like a used CPU um or any passive component so

01:02:25.920 --> 01:02:32.039
motherboard with no active cooling where you know that there's not much to wear

01:02:29.200 --> 01:02:37.640
out other than the pwm um I would shy away from things like Ed power supplies

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

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

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

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

01:02:52.760 --> 01:02:57.119
the serial number not to the owner so um

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

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

01:03:05.760 --> 01:03:12.119
like most video cards like motherboards sometimes um are going to actually ask

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

01:03:14.599 --> 01:03:21.520
anytime you're buying something

01:03:17.599 --> 01:03:23.559
used all right so let's talk about why I

01:03:21.520 --> 01:03:28.160
hate micro USB and why it's the worst connection that ever existed this Con

01:03:25.760 --> 01:03:32.799
connection is better than micro USB because it doesn't break so what's the

01:03:30.160 --> 01:03:39.359
key difference between my iPhone 4 and my wife Samsung Galaxy S this is the

01:03:35.440 --> 01:03:41.079
version one it's vibrant um my connector

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

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

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

01:03:54.119 --> 01:04:00.240
stupid I hate it um if at any point you

01:03:57.279 --> 01:04:05.440
accidentally you know wiggle a micro USB cable the pins are so small and they're

01:04:03.079 --> 01:04:10.880
so close together that it is incredibly easy for them to break off the piece in

01:04:07.880 --> 01:04:12.480
the middle of the actual um female end

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

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

01:04:19.200 --> 01:04:25.319
the thing that kills me most about it is that compared to mini be remember mini

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

01:04:27.119 --> 01:04:34.720
every camera but used to be just everything see Min how much bigger than

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

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

01:04:41.920 --> 01:04:48.000
micro HDMI but no actually I think mini HDMI is the worst I hate fragile

01:04:45.359 --> 01:04:52.839
connectors so I don't have anything against um I don't have anything against

01:04:51.079 --> 01:04:56.720
micro USB in particular but I hate fragile connectors in fact I hate HDMI

01:04:54.880 --> 01:05:04.079
too compar comp to DVI compared to DisplayPort these are locking connectors every connector should lock

01:05:01.160 --> 01:05:09.920
every connector should be durable I I really

01:05:06.160 --> 01:05:12.920
just I mean come on my uh my my grandpa

01:05:09.920 --> 01:05:14.400
has a has a Blackberry playbook that uh

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

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

01:05:20.839 --> 01:05:27.559
old just stupid just just horrible um

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

01:05:29.240 --> 01:05:33.720
fragile as micro uh Keen Pro asks what

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

01:05:37.760 --> 01:05:42.000
know let's go and do some more Twitter

01:05:43.200 --> 01:05:51.119
questions there we go okay 40 400 and something new updates

01:05:50.119 --> 01:05:56.920
oh yeah

01:05:53.760 --> 01:05:59.319
okay Peter great question question Peter

01:05:56.920 --> 01:06:04.240
why do you like the tj07 more than the tj1 couple reasons Peter number one the

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

01:06:05.839 --> 01:06:11.839
really light for such a big case because of it's all aluminum construction uh

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

01:06:13.760 --> 01:06:19.520
motherboard so it'll just have like that emptiness factor I don't like that I

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

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

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

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

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

01:06:37.599 --> 01:06:44.440
most ridiculous thing ever um I like the plainness of the tj07 the tjl 11 I

01:06:42.880 --> 01:06:47.400
originally hated it when I first saw the pictures cuz I thought the front was

01:06:45.960 --> 01:06:51.720
plastic I thought it was like plastic and cheap the whole thing is metal it's

01:06:49.319 --> 01:06:56.920
a beautiful case it is amazingly well constructed but I like the plainness I

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

01:06:59.079 --> 01:07:05.960
plainness I like the sleekness um also my tj7 is a gift from

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

01:07:08.480 --> 01:07:13.039
she made um for me for my birthday and

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:07:41.559 --> 01:07:48.119
manufacturing process they take the sheet they score it a couple times and

01:07:46.279 --> 01:07:53.240
then they bend it whereas they used to just bend the solid sheet of aluminum so

01:07:51.079 --> 01:07:57.760
I have like the older baller tj7 and I feel exclusive about it so so that

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

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

01:08:04.279 --> 01:08:10.039
do about 35 push-ups in one go and I

01:08:07.559 --> 01:08:14.079
only weigh like 140 pounds so that should give you some idea like I yeah

01:08:11.960 --> 01:08:17.400
really can't uh really can't do it um obsidian Matthew elus are you thinking

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

01:08:20.159 --> 01:08:25.120
actually had um a flip phone until work

01:08:23.239 --> 01:08:29.000
issued me a Blackberry and it was one of those blackberries with like you know

01:08:27.040 --> 01:08:33.080
the the wheel on the side and like the screen and like the keyboard under it

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

01:08:35.560 --> 01:08:42.960
iPhone 4 I don't um I don't I don't buy phones

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

01:08:44.920 --> 01:08:50.799
Torso of a grown man is probably not uh not that great although phones are

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

01:08:54.679 --> 01:09:00.480
more I mean I I I like learning about new operating systems like Android and

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

01:09:01.880 --> 01:09:06.679
I would but I'm still not super like I'm

01:09:05.000 --> 01:09:11.279
not like foaming at the mouth waiting for the oh my goodness it's the next

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

01:09:13.080 --> 01:09:19.080
excited about a new flagship video card for

01:09:16.799 --> 01:09:24.799
example okay let's move right along Sue Dion

01:09:22.759 --> 01:09:27.960
says how many satellites are currently in orbit

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

01:09:29.319 --> 01:09:37.719
trolling me I totally know you're just trolling me but it's called let me

01:09:33.239 --> 01:09:42.000
Google that for you and uh I I I would

01:09:37.719 --> 01:09:44.440
use it but I think you get the point

01:09:42.000 --> 01:09:47.480
Sue Rumble muffin says there are rumors going around that ASUS is making offers

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

01:09:50.199 --> 01:09:57.159
originally split off from ASUS I believe they're still both owned by pegatron but

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

01:09:59.480 --> 01:10:04.520
those companies are they're separate but

01:10:02.560 --> 01:10:07.120
they're like like they're separate they're here but they're like there

01:10:05.760 --> 01:10:11.880
there's connections between those companies so I I wouldn't think I

01:10:09.000 --> 01:10:11.880
wouldn't overthink it too

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

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

01:10:24.480 --> 01:10:30.520
hard time looking at at every system that people send to me um especially

01:10:28.159 --> 01:10:34.880
because at least 75% of the people that I advise about their systems end up

01:10:32.080 --> 01:10:37.239
arguing with me about why they chose what they chose or didn't choose what

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

01:10:39.400 --> 01:10:44.920
you how you're going to get 20% more performance for 5% more money or

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

01:10:47.159 --> 01:10:54.040
you can email PC nc.com and the Russian or Brian will

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

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

01:11:01.000 --> 01:11:06.320
care of like no problem Jacob yes at

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

01:11:08.320 --> 01:11:15.000
z77 dasi or whatever their z77 it export

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

01:11:17.719 --> 01:11:25.960
promise dagge larak says

01:11:22.679 --> 01:11:28.199
Linus okay

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

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

01:11:34.320 --> 01:11:40.239
I'm really rusty um I used to be pretty

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

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

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

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

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

01:12:00.960 --> 01:12:09.159
much all I got at this point Nicholas clucher says lonus you

01:12:06.320 --> 01:12:13.920
started as a Salesman how did you end up in the head office instead of store

01:12:11.440 --> 01:12:18.800
management um well actually it's funny story because I went and talked to the

01:12:16.320 --> 01:12:21.920
president of the company because I had a really awkward conversation that I had

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

01:12:24.080 --> 01:12:31.040
contract where I have to paint houses this summer can you give me the summer

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

01:12:33.520 --> 01:12:40.440
that's part of what made him um that's

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

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

01:12:45.639 --> 01:12:50.320
was I was always selling systems I was selling more systems than any other

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

01:12:53.000 --> 01:12:58.320
was always selling these high-end systems because I'm really pass about it

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

01:13:01.080 --> 01:13:08.159
going to have you come and work at head

01:13:04.719 --> 01:13:10.120
office when you come back and so I

01:13:08.159 --> 01:13:13.560
started out uh configuring the PCS on the website and from there I moved into

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

01:13:16.639 --> 01:13:21.239
a category manager and then I started doing videos somewhere along the line

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

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

01:13:27.040 --> 01:13:35.040
know um I found like a magical sort of

01:13:31.920 --> 01:13:37.280
Toothpick and then I fought the mighty

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

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

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

01:13:47.600 --> 01:13:52.560
like that it was uh there was some luck involved I think I think with success

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

01:13:55.320 --> 01:14:00.280
me good night your stream keeps me up it's 1:00 a.m. I am not going to wish

01:13:58.920 --> 01:14:05.639
you good night because you should stick around and watch the rest of the stream it's only 25 more

01:14:03.239 --> 01:14:09.320
minutes and it's fun right are we having fun is this a good stream you guys

01:14:07.040 --> 01:14:13.639
enjoying it you guys cool all right good and know there's no

01:14:11.679 --> 01:14:18.080
cookies in it it's actually oh that's disgusting it's really oh look at this

01:14:16.199 --> 01:14:21.199
it's really old I had no idea I thought it was flour it's old ketchup packets

01:14:20.440 --> 01:14:25.719
from McDonald's and uh like old sweet and

01:14:24.199 --> 01:14:30.440
sour packets see look at that that one has some sauce on the top right there dare me to lick

01:14:28.920 --> 01:14:35.440
it should I lick it come on I going to see what you guys

01:14:32.800 --> 01:14:35.440
say should I lick

01:14:39.000 --> 01:14:44.000
it oh disgusting okay oh I can still

01:14:42.719 --> 01:14:50.080
taste it oh oh awful and I've got spit all

01:14:48.520 --> 01:14:54.120
over my chin because I pressed it so hard against my tongue that it mashed my

01:14:52.400 --> 01:15:00.239
tongue on my chin it's disgusting it's disgusting I don't don't do

01:14:55.960 --> 01:15:02.520
that okay moving right

01:15:00.239 --> 01:15:07.239
along uh Mark wants to know will we be doing multicam in the future yes we

01:15:05.000 --> 01:15:10.800
will lonus I have a copy of windows8 from University I'm on the offense about

01:15:08.840 --> 01:15:16.239
upgrading I'm planning to upgrade I think that the only way to move is

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

01:15:18.239 --> 01:15:24.440
because it's not going away um lonus are you going to upgrade

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

01:15:26.880 --> 01:15:33.000
um adaptech has a really cool new card coming that I'm pretty excited about um

01:15:30.760 --> 01:15:37.159
and my 9260 is honestly fast enough for me it's good enough for about two

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

01:15:39.159 --> 01:15:44.199
now I could still get more performance out of that card just by upgrading the

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

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

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

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

01:15:59.560 --> 01:16:06.080
tell you Joe that is the most fantastic Twitter profile picture that I think I

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

01:16:08.560 --> 01:16:15.199
Burger's so big it makes this huge black guy looks small that is that is

01:16:13.280 --> 01:16:21.440
fantastic Joe is that you tell me Joe if that is you I need to

01:16:19.199 --> 01:16:26.120
know you have to tweet you have to tweet me later or something because that is

01:16:23.080 --> 01:16:28.520
just fantastic that burger is amazing

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

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

01:16:35.360 --> 01:16:43.360
other yo not like in a weird way just in like

01:16:40.440 --> 01:16:47.320
a good way Mike Canadians go to McDonald's also lonus did you hear about

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

01:16:49.920 --> 01:16:57.600
about tonight but huge soft drinks are going to kill

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

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

01:17:04.239 --> 01:17:11.520
nurse's place we were getting immunizations for the baby and um I was

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

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

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

01:17:25.480 --> 01:17:32.239
racist geez I didn't say he was fat I

01:17:28.880 --> 01:17:34.040
said he was big he is big anyway so we

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

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

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

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

01:17:48.080 --> 01:17:53.480
to a restaurant there before and I ordered nice tea at Red Rob and I took

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

01:17:55.080 --> 01:18:01.960
wasn't sweetened and um what what I realized about about the okay first of

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

01:18:06.520 --> 01:18:12.600
remember how much sugar I ended up putting from the table they had like

01:18:10.480 --> 01:18:16.120
sugar packets I remember how much sugar I ended up putting into the iced tea to

01:18:14.239 --> 01:18:20.560
make it even remotely palatable and being absolutely disgusted at how much

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

01:18:24.560 --> 01:18:31.199
tea that stuff will kill you the best thing to

01:18:28.639 --> 01:18:36.280
drink right there water so I'm I almost drink only water

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

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

01:18:41.719 --> 01:18:47.639
and I try to realize that uh Performance Studios what editor

01:18:46.120 --> 01:18:51.159
do you use to edit your videos I personally use Sony Vegas movie studio

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

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

01:18:58.719 --> 01:19:03.719
us and uh yeah it's pretty cool based on

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

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

01:19:10.120 --> 01:19:16.280
of netlink weekly which is actually

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

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

01:19:22.639 --> 01:19:28.760
street fighter Showdown between me and

01:19:25.719 --> 01:19:31.080
Tom the artist and uh he added like the

01:19:28.760 --> 01:19:34.400
coolest effect that I that I totally I mean I told him be creative about this

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

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

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

01:19:45.960 --> 01:19:50.239
what button kicks here you guys like that you guys like those heads and

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

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

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

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

01:20:06.679 --> 01:20:12.600
that was his copy of Street Fighter 4 I've played Street Fighter 4 a grand

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

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

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

01:20:24.320 --> 01:20:30.239
proud I did myself proud in that Street Fighter match there so I I don't

01:20:28.679 --> 01:20:36.719
remember how we got on this topic but let's go ahead and move right along

01:20:32.320 --> 01:20:40.040
here okay moving on down moving on down

01:20:36.719 --> 01:20:43.120
moving on down what's your favorite case

01:20:40.040 --> 01:20:45.520
tj07 Dan says I have to wake up at 7 A.M

01:20:43.120 --> 01:20:47.120
tomorrow for school that sucks Dan I remember

01:20:47.120 --> 01:20:53.440
school getting up early sucks but like stay in school it's

01:20:51.159 --> 01:20:57.920
important and stuff okay okay let's see let's view

01:20:56.800 --> 01:21:02.360
this conversation I don't know where this came

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

01:21:03.520 --> 01:21:10.040
thinking that girl gamers exist I found this uh I found this evidently girl

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

01:21:12.280 --> 01:21:20.040
oh yeah okay so we are oh I just saw

01:21:16.360 --> 01:21:23.400
this tweet during my live stream my

01:21:20.040 --> 01:21:24.960
audience says hi you guys say hi right

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

01:21:27.320 --> 01:21:31.760
like woo amateur unboxings very cool oh

01:21:30.400 --> 01:21:37.280
someone apparently knows who this is I've never heard of her before but uh

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

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

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

01:21:49.520 --> 01:21:55.400
let's just scroll down there we go all right how long till a replacement for

01:21:53.320 --> 01:21:58.800
DDR3 actually they've just finalized the ddr4 spec however I don't think it

01:21:57.440 --> 01:22:04.880
matters that much I don't know if you guys remember this but the upgrade and

01:22:00.600 --> 01:22:06.719
performance going from ddr2 to DDR3 was

01:22:04.880 --> 01:22:10.840
very very minuscule as soon as we moved to an integrated memory controller on

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

01:22:13.560 --> 01:22:19.960
stopped really mattering that much uh what the speed of the memory is because

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

01:22:23.840 --> 01:22:29.400
bandwidth on the desktop I mean if you guys need any evidence of this go and

01:22:27.440 --> 01:22:35.679
look at some of the writeups that have been done about LGA 2011 where they take

01:22:33.560 --> 01:22:39.440
uh they they actually run every for two one two three and four channels of

01:22:38.080 --> 01:22:43.600
memory on the platform because it's fully capable of running in dual Channel

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

01:22:47.400 --> 01:22:53.440
quad channel in some cases where latency is more important and quad channels

01:22:51.639 --> 01:22:57.639
better where you need more bandwidth but these are very very small margins of

01:22:55.320 --> 01:23:02.159
Victory on both sides uh the only time you really run into trouble is when

01:22:58.960 --> 01:23:04.159
you're running single channel so yeah

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

01:23:07.920 --> 01:23:14.120
wants to know what is the story behind cameraman's Apple prowess also it seems

01:23:12.679 --> 01:23:18.800
slick and Diesel don't mind being on camera anymore so cameraman is an Apple

01:23:17.000 --> 01:23:23.880
guy cameraman is the one who convinced me to get an iPhone 4 cameraman um edits

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

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

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

01:23:35.080 --> 01:23:41.880
youtube.com ncixcom Okay I'm G to pull

01:23:38.679 --> 01:23:43.000
out some classic classic stuff here guys

01:23:41.880 --> 01:23:50.000
you're gonna you're gonna love this or you're gonna hate it you know what get over it um so oldest to newest here we

01:23:47.719 --> 01:23:54.440
go here we go okay so first of all there's that NC commercial that I had

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

01:23:56.520 --> 01:24:02.920
a particular one I'm looking for here guys cameraman did all these like

01:24:00.320 --> 01:24:04.920
awesome awesome like cheeseball effects this is right around the time we got our

01:24:04.159 --> 01:24:08.760
new studio okay so you guys you guys are going to watch this with me you guys are

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

01:24:13.440 --> 01:24:21.800
it's uh I don't know whatever year that was long time

01:24:18.600 --> 01:24:23.960
ago hi welcome to NC Tech tips today

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

01:24:26.639 --> 01:24:33.560
the dragon platform and it features the Phenom 2 processor demo system here and

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

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

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

01:24:47.320 --> 01:24:54.040
be all bad right am I right I'm not right but you know

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

01:24:56.239 --> 01:24:58.880
moving down

01:24:59.679 --> 01:25:05.000
here scrolling down looking at some

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

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

01:25:10.440 --> 01:25:18.080
guys in the US doing it right now IB power and cyber power they are

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

01:25:20.480 --> 01:25:28.440
real living to have like a significant company I mean okay there's smaller guys

01:25:25.280 --> 01:25:30.480
like a falcon or uh you know whatever

01:25:28.440 --> 01:25:34.480
whatever those guys but these are this is a very Niche niche market and the

01:25:32.960 --> 01:25:38.679
reason that people buy from them is they're a longtime trusted brand they've

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

01:25:42.199 --> 01:25:45.560
it's not a business that I would

01:25:45.639 --> 01:25:50.719
start Ryan says I may be a little off

01:25:48.800 --> 01:25:55.840
topic here absolutely not Ryan questions about power supplies are 100 well just

01:25:53.560 --> 01:25:59.840
100% people say more than 100% tick me off because there's no such thing unless

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

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

01:26:05.679 --> 01:26:13.520
you think I think that's a fantastic idea seic power supplies are the

01:26:11.040 --> 01:26:18.280
Chisel David says did that guy from last week who you offered to build this PC

01:26:14.960 --> 01:26:19.880
for ,000 ever respond he did respond he

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

01:26:21.320 --> 01:26:30.000
no sense to give someone $1,000 to assemble a PC for

01:26:26.040 --> 01:26:31.320
you all right moving right along would

01:26:30.000 --> 01:26:34.920
you say a sound card is necessary for games like BF3 a sound card is necessary

01:26:33.239 --> 01:26:40.440
for life you should have a sound card because it makes everything sound

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

01:26:42.520 --> 01:26:47.280

100 followers on Twitter you have people to talk to I don't know if they're going

01:28:03.560 --> 01:28:08.719
to pay attention or not but I hope they will because I think that the people who

01:28:07.239 --> 01:28:12.600
are tuned into this live stream the people who watch Tech tips on YouTube

01:28:10.719 --> 01:28:16.960
are generally A Cut Above the Rest of the internet garbage and the re what I

01:28:15.320 --> 01:28:20.639
base this on is the quality of the comments on my videos the quality of the

01:28:19.199 --> 01:28:24.520
chat that we have going on here the quality of the conversations it's good

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

01:28:26.360 --> 01:28:33.000
might not and uh let's move right along

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

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

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

01:28:45.840 --> 01:28:52.080
saved his butt once on one of his first

01:28:48.920 --> 01:28:55.440
murder boxes um he had a bill that he

01:28:52.080 --> 01:28:57.119
had to get done G3 eight fittings were

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

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

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

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

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

01:29:17.040 --> 01:29:22.520
does not believe in using anything but the best so he was using a thermal chill

01:29:20.639 --> 01:29:27.679
rad no questions they were not G1 quarter back in those days so I said

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

01:29:29.360 --> 01:29:35.360
are the nicest g38 fittings I've ever encountered I've never seen any like

01:29:32.719 --> 01:29:39.760
them ever again but I was like look dude for you they're

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

01:29:41.880 --> 01:29:47.280
really the only story I have about Charles but either way I like him I

01:29:45.040 --> 01:29:54.960
liked him there that's the point I liked him enough to give up special fittings

01:29:50.560 --> 01:29:56.560
and I'm I'm totally totally totally OCD

01:29:54.960 --> 01:29:59.639
about things like water cooling fittings if I have like the perfect I mean

01:29:58.040 --> 01:30:07.440
fittings all sucked back in those days we didn't have bits power um so

01:30:03.400 --> 01:30:07.440
yeah I like Charles he's a good

01:30:08.040 --> 01:30:15.360
guy moving further down further down

01:30:13.840 --> 01:30:18.400
Maurice says how do I feel about the Aesthetics of the switch 810 and what do

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

01:30:22.080 --> 01:30:28.880
there you go and I saw some asking in the chat about red versus brown switches

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

01:30:31.840 --> 01:30:38.199
backlight I love the awesome aluminum base plate I do not love the red

01:30:36.199 --> 01:30:41.280
switches and that's really really preventing me from using that keyboard

01:30:39.800 --> 01:30:45.760
so I would go Browns over I'd go anything over Reds pretty

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

01:30:48.000 --> 01:30:54.000
xfast USB well xfast USB is pretty straightforward because I think it just

01:30:51.119 --> 01:30:56.239
means USB 3 as for their xfast RAM and X fast

01:31:00.960 --> 01:31:08.960
L yeah um kargo says go to Justin.tv

01:31:06.199 --> 01:31:12.639
instead admins on Twitch TV are pretty abusive well you know what I know a

01:31:10.560 --> 01:31:17.520
couple of admins over here in fact there was one watching at the start let me

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

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

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

01:31:28.159 --> 01:31:35.360
dog has tourettes

01:31:32.119 --> 01:31:38.440
bam oh it's John oh whatever whatever

01:31:35.360 --> 01:31:41.159
John no one cares what you think anyway

01:31:38.440 --> 01:31:46.000
come on let's see you get abusive banned I'll ban you I'm gonna try and ban him I

01:31:43.840 --> 01:31:50.679
tried this once with fuzzy oh I can't even do it yeah oh it's cuz I'm not

01:31:49.040 --> 01:31:56.040
logged in yeah yeah bam anyway okay moving

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

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

01:32:02.280 --> 01:32:07.560
think they could follow me over there and and tell me to come back to Twitch

01:32:05.679 --> 01:32:12.960
based on that they're somewhat Affiliated uh Queen bugle says how about

01:32:10.239 --> 01:32:17.080
a tj07 unboxing great suggestion unfortunately I I mean I've talked about

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

01:32:19.480 --> 01:32:26.360
lot I can do about that but uh but yeah

01:32:22.800 --> 01:32:26.360
but yeah no good idea though good

01:32:26.679 --> 01:32:31.600
idea wait male no I have lights I don't

01:32:30.000 --> 01:32:34.960
have any of those other BS but I do have lights in my music

01:32:33.040 --> 01:32:38.360
collection okay you know what I have another requested topic for tonight and

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

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

01:32:45.480 --> 01:32:50.600
bike gear and we're going to talk about we're going to talk about motorcycle

01:32:48.560 --> 01:32:53.920
safety so I'll be back in like two seconds I have a pretty sweet helmet

01:32:52.639 --> 01:32:58.040
though so you guys should definitely stick around and check it out

01:33:52.159 --> 01:33:55.159
what

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

01:34:10.280 --> 01:34:15.679
phrase all the gear all the time I firmly believe that if you're thinking

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

01:34:19.719 --> 01:34:26.800
sure part of your budget for learning to ride make sure you get a course unless

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

01:34:29.840 --> 01:34:36.560
and yeah basically yeah make sure you get a course and make sure you allocate

01:34:33.440 --> 01:34:40.280
money for gear so this is my

01:34:36.560 --> 01:34:42.600
rf100 is my sweet ass helmet um your

01:34:40.280 --> 01:34:49.239
helmet should be the first thing you buy yes helmets are not that useful Beyond

01:34:45.159 --> 01:34:51.920
about 60 70 km an hour even 50 um but if

01:34:49.239 --> 01:34:57.600
you get into a pickle and you hit your head your intellect is your most

01:34:54.639 --> 01:35:02.760
valuable possession you don't want to mess that up so uh I actually did an

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

01:35:05.080 --> 01:35:11.960
let's check that out here I bet there's not that many like showy helmet

01:35:09.239 --> 01:35:17.440
unboxings on YouTube would there be showy helmet here there showy helmet

01:35:17.520 --> 01:35:23.960
unboxing look at that hit number one

01:35:20.760 --> 01:35:26.080
like a boss so here's me unboxing my

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

01:35:28.400 --> 01:35:34.320
gear from uh back then it was called new.com but now it's called

01:35:31.679 --> 01:35:37.840
motorcyclegear.com pretty awesome so here I am like super excited about my

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

01:35:40.520 --> 01:35:46.719
helmets are only good for about 5 years and rule number one of helmets never

01:35:44.679 --> 01:35:51.679
ever whack them on anything always put them down on the ground where they'll be

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

01:35:54.360 --> 01:36:00.239
uh the protective material inside it's totally useless okay so boots people

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

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

01:36:08.360 --> 01:36:15.480
because my pants cover them anyway um but what I do like about these is

01:36:12.560 --> 01:36:19.760
they're extremely ruggedly built very very thick on the top so that you don't

01:36:17.360 --> 01:36:24.600
have any discomfort when you're shifting um and they have extra padding extra

01:36:22.400 --> 01:36:27.800
armor built into things like the ankles so these things are important I was

01:36:26.000 --> 01:36:31.320
trying to explain to my mom who just is learning how to ride a motorcycle now

01:36:29.639 --> 01:36:34.400
the importance of motorcycle boots and motorcycle gear in general and she said

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

01:36:37.040 --> 01:36:42.159
jeans or what whatever whatever she thought she was going to be doing she

01:36:40.119 --> 01:36:49.719
dropped the bike on the first day of training and uh and hurt her ankle I

01:36:45.920 --> 01:36:52.560
said ma if you'd had proper riding boots

01:36:49.719 --> 01:36:55.480
it's worth the money you wouldn't have had to deal with this boots are

01:36:53.960 --> 01:37:01.000
expensive I paid a couple hundred for those but I think it's worth it pants

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

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

01:37:08.080 --> 01:37:14.880
the rain and uh really unfortunate I wasn't going fast I was going like 8

01:37:12.159 --> 01:37:19.239
kilometers an hour so I was I was 100% fine everything was okay but I was

01:37:17.679 --> 01:37:24.199
thanked my lucky stars that I was wearing my pants and my jacket so I know

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

01:37:26.159 --> 01:37:31.600
going to be like lonus you have textile gear you suck get leather and you're

01:37:30.000 --> 01:37:38.159
right I should be wearing leather however I use my gear in all types of

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

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

01:37:45.119 --> 01:37:49.639
for a jacket most import couple important things so this is one of the

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

01:37:52.159 --> 01:37:58.119
motorcycle jacket the way you size a real jacket so you see when I put my

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

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

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

01:38:08.400 --> 01:38:13.760
fit properly and the sleeve was up here it would be cutting off the circulation

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

01:38:15.480 --> 01:38:21.040
your motorcycle gear in a riding position see if it sits in the right

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

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

01:38:25.800 --> 01:38:32.000
got a back protector um usually get an aftermarket back protector I should

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

01:38:33.679 --> 01:38:38.440
jackets kind of suck and this is about as waterproof as it gets for a

01:38:36.760 --> 01:38:43.679
motorcycle jacket and it's not waterproof at all and then my gloves so

01:38:40.639 --> 01:38:47.560
I wear Alpine Stars gloves these are sp

01:38:43.679 --> 01:38:51.159
sp Stella sp8 yes these are ladies

01:38:47.560 --> 01:38:53.920
gloves because I have small lady hands

01:38:51.159 --> 01:38:57.000
but they fit me absolutely perfectly and the one thing where I splurged on

01:38:55.320 --> 01:39:02.880
leather I spent over $100 doar on my gloves was gloves because leather gloves

01:39:00.199 --> 01:39:06.320
are balling also textile gloves generally don't have armor built into

01:39:04.719 --> 01:39:11.679
the back of them which is extremely important even in my small spill I fell

01:39:09.119 --> 01:39:15.000
over whacked my hand on the back of the bridge had I not been wearing these

01:39:13.560 --> 01:39:18.159

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

01:39:20.320 --> 01:39:28.520

didn't get bashed up my hip didn't get bashed up my knee was okay my ankle was

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

01:39:42.080 --> 01:39:49.679
