00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,720
Linus Tech Tips coverage of Computex 2013 is powered by Western Digital. Our

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:10,360
trusted gaming gear partner is Corsair Vengeance and our trusted retail partner

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:15,920
is ncx.com. Okay, so okay, come on. Help me

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:21,520
out with this. Okay, so 13's unlucky. Okay, 13 is missing. And then four is

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:25,279
unlucky. Four is 14. Why do you have 14 then? You know, it's kind of ridiculous.

6
00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:30,480
It's like the place my parents live. They have no 13th floor, no floors with

7
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:37,040
four in them, but then it goes up to 40 floors. So they have 40, 41, 42. It's

8
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:42,079
like you don't just get to make up new rules. So our room here at the Sherwood

9
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:46,879
is awesome. Check this out. There's like a place to sit that it. Okay. No, the

10
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:51,360
place to sit makes no sense, but it's like I don't know. You could if you had

11
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:54,559
like a really small person, then you'd have like an maybe it's like a dog bed.

12
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:58,559
I think it's like a romantic thing. romantic where you'd like have a couple

13
00:00:56,399 --> 00:01:03,280
sit well the bed's over there if they want the romance. Uh then we've got our

14
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:08,400
closet. So that's where the safe is including a romantic house

15
00:01:06,119 --> 00:01:13,920
coat. Oh, please don't open the main switch. Got it. Okay. Toilets aren't The

16
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:15,439
toilet's huge. The bathroom's huge. So

17
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:21,040
this is this is sort of different because Oh, another romantic house coat.

18
00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:25,759
So Oh, whoa. Okay. So, you could have two people showering in this bathroom at

19
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:30,080
the same time, but one of them would be expected to kind of do this and then the

20
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:34,079
other one would be expected to go in the actual standup shower. So, it has both a

21
00:01:31,759 --> 00:01:38,640
bath and a shower and an additional shower for the bath, but only one sink,

22
00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:43,280
mind you. So, you you wouldn't get sort of too many too many sort of people in

23
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:49,640
here at the same time. Although, one person could be on the heated can. So,

24
00:01:47,439 --> 00:01:56,399
there's power save functionality, seat heat, and seat

25
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,320
sensor. And then, uh, there's a control

26
00:01:56,399 --> 00:02:06,759
panel on the left. Oh, control panel. Yeah, there we go. Okay.

27
00:02:00,759 --> 00:02:06,759
So, what happens if we press the thing?

28
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:12,879
I think you have to be on it. You have to be on it for it to work. Yeah, it has

29
00:02:10,399 --> 00:02:17,040
sensors. It has sensors. Well, what if you like what if you I guess it's

30
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:23,599
probably pretty powerful. They don't want you using it as like a drinking fountain. Yeah, cuz it can squirt over

31
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,599
the seat.

32
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:33,280
Oh, okay. Here we go. So, next we've got two

33
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:38,160
queen beds, which is much better than our arrangement at CES where we had to

34
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:41,280
have four people sharing two queen beds. Now we have two people sharing two queen

35
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:46,319
beds, which is awesome. I'm sharing a room with B-roll. Got our TV. Got our

36
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:51,280
little cabinet here with the presumably ludicrously expensive Ah, yes. Pringles.

37
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:56,640
I'm almost afraid to touch them just because they'll probably be poisoned.

38
00:02:54,239 --> 00:03:01,040
Um, and then well, no, not poisoned, but they'll be expensive. And oh, oh, our

39
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:05,840
breakfast menu, which is brilliant because uh our breakfast is covered for

40
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,959
us every day except the days of the Computex show. So, we're like, well,

41
00:03:07,519 --> 00:03:12,480
we're here for Computex. They're like, "Oh, well then you get breakfast on this

42
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:19,519
one day." Oh, okay. That makes sense. Here's our desk. Here is our window.

43
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:22,800
Here is B-roll's chair.

44
00:03:19,519 --> 00:03:25,840
And this is my chair. Boom. This is

45
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,920
actually a super super comfy chair. And

46
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:32,319
uh that's pretty much it. That's our room. It's actually super super nice.

47
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:36,840
So, uh, those butttheads left the hotel

48
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:40,959
without us cuz we're running behind them.

49
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:45,080
And they didn't give us the note at the hotel, so we have no idea where they are

50
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:54,640
now. We're supposed to be finding Taiwan Cellular Corp, but

51
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:57,920
like I don't know. We're in the spot now

52
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,920
and it's not here.

53
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,200
Yeah.

54
00:04:05,319 --> 00:04:10,560
Great. So, we're lost. Yeah, basically.

55
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:16,799
Okay. Oh, so apparently this store is closed

56
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:20,560
like forever. Thank you. Like forever. I I I don't know. He was

57
00:04:18,799 --> 00:04:24,320
just like, "Yeah, they're gone." So, okay. How can a hotel not have that

58
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:28,320
updated already? I don't know. And apparently that's where they send Slick

59
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:32,960
and Diesel. So then they must be just wandering.

60
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:38,440
You have got to be kidding me. This is a great start. Have I told you how great a

61
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,440
start this is?

62
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:46,720
So here we are in Taipei. It's

63
00:04:42,479 --> 00:04:49,120
6:55. Yep. And everything is closed.

64
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:53,440
We're trying to buy SIM cards. Oh, there's a card. We We don't really know

65
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:58,160
how things work here. No, it's like really confusing.

66
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:02,360
Oh, he beat us pretty. Okay. And yeah, apparently he went the other way.

67
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:09,680
Okay, we should go to 7-Eleven now. We go to 7-Eleven. Why? Because I

68
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:18,919
think it's the only store that's going to be open and it's really, really humid, so we want drinks. Yeah. Rule

69
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,919
number one, stay hydrated.

70
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:27,280
Where we are, folks. Um, we got some like egg things going on here. And it

71
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:31,440
looks like you kind of make your own uh sort of delicious thing. We got some

72
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:36,000
like hot dogs. This is This isn't really that

73
00:05:33,639 --> 00:05:41,400
different. Seafood wraps or seaweed wraps of some sort. Yeah. Yep. All look

74
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:45,960
good, actually. 7-Eleven. So, this is new. Well, we got

75
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:51,919
another note. We are in our room. We assumed you

76
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:57,440
would stay here lol. So, we've been on a a wild goose chase. How long we walked

77
00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:01,479
like away from 7-Eleven? Where's their Where's their room? 1401.

78
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:15,360
Hello. Hi. Hi. Did you guys find SIM

79
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:19,680
cards? No, we couldn't get in. Did Did you like how the uh the directions were

80
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:24,479
to a place that the guy told us is like gone? What? Yeah.

81
00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:28,560
So So we went down there, then we're like, "Oh, well, they're from North

82
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:33,919
America. Maybe they gravitated towards the 7-Eleven." You did? I

83
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:37,280
knew someone who's actually less adventurous than me. Can you walk me

84
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:43,759
through the uh foreign delicacies that you have on your plate here?

85
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:47,440
Uh I have uh what they call back over

86
00:06:43,759 --> 00:06:51,800
here. Backan. Yeah. Back. And waffla.

87
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:56,240
Yeah. Uhhuh. And what were

88
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:57,840
these? Sauti. Sauti. Patas. Potatoes.

89
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:05,210
Okay. And this was salagas. Wow. Cool. Diesel,

90
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:08,260
can you explain to me why you did this?

91
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:18,240
Well, I thought I would clean up this mess because the guy who did it Linus.

92
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:20,960
Uh, sorry. Did you say slick? No, I said

93
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:26,800
Linus. Slick. Why would you put sausages in miso soup? You did. Yeah, that I

94
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:30,680
think this video record will prove that uh it was you.

95
00:07:35,599 --> 00:07:42,880
Okay, so we're heading for the second tallest building in the world. I got

96
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:44,880
Jason from WD who is of course uh taking

97
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:50,319
pictures with someone else's cell phone other than mine. Hello. Thanks, man. Can

98
00:07:48,639 --> 00:07:55,199
you want to get the building? Take you. Oh, gotcha. Just playing video right

99
00:07:52,960 --> 00:08:01,039
now. Cool. So, yeah, we're going to head up there, which will be pretty exciting.

100
00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:07,280
The highest I've ever been is uh hotel in Vegas, which was not this high.

101
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:10,720
Cool. I guess if I say the highest I've ever been is at a hotel in Vegas, that

102
00:08:08,879 --> 00:08:17,960
could be interpreted sort of the wrong way, but Oh, Taipei 101. Slick. The only

103
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,960
building taller than you.

104
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:27,000
Uh, how do we get there? I'm assuming go up. Going up a tall building. Tall

105
00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:27,000
building. Up as opposed to down.

106
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:34,399
Slick. How are your ears doing in the world's fastest elevator?

107
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:46,519
I can't see the thing tracking how quickly we're going there.

108
00:08:39,479 --> 00:08:46,519
1,000 m per minute. That is quite the uh

109
00:08:47,279 --> 00:08:55,120
My ears popped like multiple times on the way up here.

110
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:57,760
Is that healthy? Oh, it's probably fine.

111
00:08:55,120 --> 00:09:03,279
So, there is bigger not that big. It's pretty cool, I guess. Yeah. No big deal.

112
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:06,320
Holy crap. It's cool because how the building's built, it comes out on an

113
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:11,680
angle. So when you look over, it feels like you're actually leaning over the

114
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:15,200
edge because it comes in. That is very

115
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:18,560
disorienting. I mean, that right there

116
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:20,440
must be like what a 30story building.

117
00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:21,959
And this is just makes it look

118
00:09:21,959 --> 00:09:27,440
stupid. You can see

119
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:31,279
everywhere. Sorry. Can Can you tell me can you tell me how normal this is? this

120
00:09:29,519 --> 00:09:37,519
vibration we're feeling right now. This is my first time.

121
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:39,600
Okay. So, so the staff here on Taipei

122
00:09:37,519 --> 00:09:44,600
101 is very reassuring. Everyone seems to be kind of heading for the elevator

123
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,600
over there.

124
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:56,800
Wow. Let's go. Okay, we can go.

125
00:09:55,040 --> 00:10:02,240
There's like people running around with like messages and stuff.

126
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:07,640
It's funny cuz we were just in there talking about how the damper made it so

127
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,640
we couldn't feel anything.

128
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:18,360
All the elevators. We just earthquake inside.

129
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:22,880
Please be patient and wait for our next instruction. We thank you for your

130
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:27,040
understanding. to go down. WD wants to go down. I think

131
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:31,480
we're going down. So, we're going down 89 flights of stairs.

132
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:40,399
Nope. Nope. We're not going down any stairs.

133
00:10:40,399 --> 00:10:47,300
Really? Even even

134
00:10:44,399 --> 00:10:48,480
if we have earthquakes.

135
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:53,360
Sure. You know what's crazy is that's my

136
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:56,240
first time. We've had probably four or five earthquakes in Vancouver in my

137
00:10:54,959 --> 00:11:02,079
life. That's the first time I've ever actually felt an earthquake. Felt an earthquake before. Yeah. I've always

138
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:06,120
slept through them or something. Okay. All the buildings in Taipei.

139
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:13,920
The biggest building in Taipei. That is awesome.

140
00:11:12,079 --> 00:11:18,079
Oh, we're down on the lower level of the damper observatory.

141
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:23,120
Oh, I wish we'd been looking at the damper when uh our timing was almost

142
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:26,800
perfect. Yeah. Yeah. No, the after the aftershock is coming for sure, right?

143
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:29,839
Yes. So, it should be good. I'm just going to hide behind this dude. It's

144
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:35,120
funny because if you get him from the right angle, he looks really unhappy.

145
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:38,800
See, check this out. It's

146
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:41,279
like anything. Yeah, we're not allowed

147
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:44,880
to move. Apparently broken. The fastest elevator in the world is

148
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:48,040
broken. Is it broken or is they just not let us

149
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:54,480
They're not letting us walk down either. So, we're basically stuck in this building. See that? I don't Tell me how

150
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:59,079
you feel about traveling all the way around the world. I'm totally emailing

151
00:11:56,079 --> 00:12:03,360
your mom and telling her there was an

152
00:11:59,079 --> 00:12:05,200
earthquake more. Yeah. Uh yeah, Slick

153
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:09,600
Slick's mom is already super mad at me for letting him go halfway around the

154
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:13,440
world. So, uh the fact that we were 101 stories up during an earthquake is going

155
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:16,000
to really thrill her. You know, she follows me on Twitter. I think I just

156
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:19,920
have to tweet. Who she's going to kill? She's going to kill you, not me. That's

157
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:24,720
true. So, you're down. So, here. Let's just This I'm fine

158
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:30,959
for now. So, that was a 6.5 earthquake and this

159
00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:33,040
is the line to go down.

160
00:12:30,959 --> 00:12:36,240
So, I think I think we're here for a bit. I think we should buy some jewelry

161
00:12:34,399 --> 00:12:41,120
and So, the entire team is getting uh

162
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:47,040
haircuts so that we look nice and slick for tomorrow. So, we have no idea what's

163
00:12:43,839 --> 00:12:49,600
going on, but Albert from WD here is uh

164
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:54,560
guiding us guiding us through the process. And uh B-roll, he's Albert is

165
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:58,560
his new favorite person because they've been talking shop about cameras and

166
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:03,279
lenses and stuff I barely even understood the whole time they were talking. So, we've been told to relax

167
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:08,560
while we wait for our haircut. So, we got some pretty stylish chairs and they

168
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:12,959
brought a refreshing beverage. So, so it's a paper cup, but it comes in

169
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:17,760
a nice little plastic holder. I don't know what it is. It's

170
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:20,760
yellow. I hope it's not for like haircuts.

171
00:13:22,279 --> 00:13:28,279
Okay. We're making sure the temperature is just right for

172
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:42,240
not not too picky. Lennis, how you want it? Um,

173
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:45,120
which shaved? No, not not shaved.

174
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:51,000
Just shorter in general. You know what? Whatever. Uh, whatever

175
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,000
they think is

176
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:58,160
But, but I need them to show me how to, you know, how to style it properly

177
00:13:55,680 --> 00:14:02,639
after. He's taking a video. Yeah. So, this is

178
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:06,000
Diesel getting his eyebrow shaped to look his best while we're uh while we're

179
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:12,480
at the show there. Yeah. Let me get out of the way so you can get a better angle.

180
00:14:08,639 --> 00:14:14,560
You know how to censor stuff. Sorry.

181
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:19,519
Yep. Yeah. There's nothing he can do right now cuz there's a straight edge

182
00:14:16,519 --> 00:14:21,680
like an inch from his face or touching

183
00:14:19,519 --> 00:14:25,440
it. She's really good with it. Yeah, she is. Yeah.

184
00:14:23,279 --> 00:14:29,720
No, I I barely even felt the straight edge on on
