Linus Tech Tips coverage of Computex 2013 is powered by Western Digital. Our

00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:10.360
trusted gaming gear partner is Corsair Vengeance and our trusted retail partner

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:15.920
is ncx.com. Okay, so okay, come on. Help me

00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:21.520
out with this. Okay, so 13's unlucky. Okay, 13 is missing. And then four is

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.

00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:30.480
It's like the place my parents live. They have no 13th floor, no floors with

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

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

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

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

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.

00:00:53.120 --> 00:00:58.559
I think it's like a romantic thing. romantic where you'd like have a couple

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

00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:08.400
closet. So that's where the safe is including a romantic house

00:01:06.119 --> 00:01:13.920
coat. Oh, please don't open the main switch. Got it. Okay. Toilets aren't The

00:01:10.880 --> 00:01:15.439
toilet's huge. The bathroom's huge. So

00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:21.040
this is this is sort of different because Oh, another romantic house coat.

00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:25.759
So Oh, whoa. Okay. So, you could have two people showering in this bathroom at

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

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

00:01:31.759 --> 00:01:38.640
bath and a shower and an additional shower for the bath, but only one sink,

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

00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:49.640
here at the same time. Although, one person could be on the heated can. So,

00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:56.399
there's power save functionality, seat heat, and seat

00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:58.320
sensor. And then, uh, there's a control

00:01:56.399 --> 00:02:06.759
panel on the left. Oh, control panel. Yeah, there we go. Okay.

00:02:00.759 --> 00:02:06.759
So, what happens if we press the thing?

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

00:02:10.399 --> 00:02:17.040
sensors. It has sensors. Well, what if you like what if you I guess it's

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

00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.599
the seat.

00:02:24.760 --> 00:02:33.280
Oh, okay. Here we go. So, next we've got two

00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:38.160
queen beds, which is much better than our arrangement at CES where we had to

00:02:36.160 --> 00:02:41.280
have four people sharing two queen beds. Now we have two people sharing two queen

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

00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:51.280
little cabinet here with the presumably ludicrously expensive Ah, yes. Pringles.

00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:56.640
I'm almost afraid to touch them just because they'll probably be poisoned.

00:02:54.239 --> 00:03:01.040
Um, and then well, no, not poisoned, but they'll be expensive. And oh, oh, our

00:02:58.720 --> 00:03:05.840
breakfast menu, which is brilliant because uh our breakfast is covered for

00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:08.959
us every day except the days of the Computex show. So, we're like, well,

00:03:07.519 --> 00:03:12.480
we're here for Computex. They're like, "Oh, well then you get breakfast on this

00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:19.519
one day." Oh, okay. That makes sense. Here's our desk. Here is our window.

00:03:15.760 --> 00:03:22.800
Here is B-roll's chair.

00:03:19.519 --> 00:03:25.840
And this is my chair. Boom. This is

00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:27.920
actually a super super comfy chair. And

00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:32.319
uh that's pretty much it. That's our room. It's actually super super nice.

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:36.840
So, uh, those butttheads left the hotel

00:03:35.040 --> 00:03:40.959
without us cuz we're running behind them.

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

00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:54.640
now. We're supposed to be finding Taiwan Cellular Corp, but

00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:57.920
like I don't know. We're in the spot now

00:03:54.640 --> 00:03:57.920
and it's not here.

00:03:59.200 --> 00:04:02.200
Yeah.

00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:10.560
Great. So, we're lost. Yeah, basically.

00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:16.799
Okay. Oh, so apparently this store is closed

00:04:13.920 --> 00:04:20.560
like forever. Thank you. Like forever. I I I don't know. He was

00:04:18.799 --> 00:04:24.320
just like, "Yeah, they're gone." So, okay. How can a hotel not have that

00:04:22.320 --> 00:04:28.320
updated already? I don't know. And apparently that's where they send Slick

00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:32.960
and Diesel. So then they must be just wandering.

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

00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:38.440
start this is?

00:04:38.960 --> 00:04:46.720
So here we are in Taipei. It's

00:04:42.479 --> 00:04:49.120
6:55. Yep. And everything is closed.

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

00:04:51.440 --> 00:04:58.160
how things work here. No, it's like really confusing.

00:04:55.440 --> 00:05:02.360
Oh, he beat us pretty. Okay. And yeah, apparently he went the other way.

00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:09.680
Okay, we should go to 7-Eleven now. We go to 7-Eleven. Why? Because I

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

00:05:14.960 --> 00:05:18.919
number one, stay hydrated.

00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:27.280
Where we are, folks. Um, we got some like egg things going on here. And it

00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:31.440
looks like you kind of make your own uh sort of delicious thing. We got some

00:05:28.960 --> 00:05:36.000
like hot dogs. This is This isn't really that

00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:41.400
different. Seafood wraps or seaweed wraps of some sort. Yeah. Yep. All look

00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:45.960
good, actually. 7-Eleven. So, this is new. Well, we got

00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:51.919
another note. We are in our room. We assumed you

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

00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:01.479
like away from 7-Eleven? Where's their Where's their room? 1401.

00:06:10.080 --> 00:06:15.360
Hello. Hi. Hi. Did you guys find SIM

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

00:06:17.280 --> 00:06:24.479
to a place that the guy told us is like gone? What? Yeah.

00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:28.560
So So we went down there, then we're like, "Oh, well, they're from North

00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:33.919
America. Maybe they gravitated towards the 7-Eleven." You did? I

00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:37.280
knew someone who's actually less adventurous than me. Can you walk me

00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:43.759
through the uh foreign delicacies that you have on your plate here?

00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:47.440
Uh I have uh what they call back over

00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:51.800
here. Backan. Yeah. Back. And waffla.

00:06:47.440 --> 00:06:56.240
Yeah. Uhhuh. And what were

00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:57.840
these? Sauti. Sauti. Patas. Potatoes.

00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:05.210
Okay. And this was salagas. Wow. Cool. Diesel,

00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:08.260
can you explain to me why you did this?

00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:18.240
Well, I thought I would clean up this mess because the guy who did it Linus.

00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:20.960
Uh, sorry. Did you say slick? No, I said

00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:26.800
Linus. Slick. Why would you put sausages in miso soup? You did. Yeah, that I

00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:30.680
think this video record will prove that uh it was you.

00:07:35.599 --> 00:07:42.880
Okay, so we're heading for the second tallest building in the world. I got

00:07:39.440 --> 00:07:44.880
Jason from WD who is of course uh taking

00:07:42.880 --> 00:07:50.319
pictures with someone else's cell phone other than mine. Hello. Thanks, man. Can

00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:55.199
you want to get the building? Take you. Oh, gotcha. Just playing video right

00:07:52.960 --> 00:08:01.039
now. Cool. So, yeah, we're going to head up there, which will be pretty exciting.

00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:07.280
The highest I've ever been is uh hotel in Vegas, which was not this high.

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

00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:17.960
could be interpreted sort of the wrong way, but Oh, Taipei 101. Slick. The only

00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:17.960
building taller than you.

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

00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:27.000
building. Up as opposed to down.

00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:34.399
Slick. How are your ears doing in the world's fastest elevator?

00:08:34.800 --> 00:08:46.519
I can't see the thing tracking how quickly we're going there.

00:08:39.479 --> 00:08:46.519
1,000 m per minute. That is quite the uh

00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:55.120
My ears popped like multiple times on the way up here.

00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:57.760
Is that healthy? Oh, it's probably fine.

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.

00:09:00.640 --> 00:09:06.320
Holy crap. It's cool because how the building's built, it comes out on an

00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:11.680
angle. So when you look over, it feels like you're actually leaning over the

00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:15.200
edge because it comes in. That is very

00:09:11.680 --> 00:09:18.560
disorienting. I mean, that right there

00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:20.440
must be like what a 30story building.

00:09:18.560 --> 00:09:21.959
And this is just makes it look

00:09:21.959 --> 00:09:27.440
stupid. You can see

00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:31.279
everywhere. Sorry. Can Can you tell me can you tell me how normal this is? this

00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:37.519
vibration we're feeling right now. This is my first time.

00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:39.600
Okay. So, so the staff here on Taipei

00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:44.600
101 is very reassuring. Everyone seems to be kind of heading for the elevator

00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:44.600
over there.

00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:56.800
Wow. Let's go. Okay, we can go.

00:09:55.040 --> 00:10:02.240
There's like people running around with like messages and stuff.

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

00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:07.640
we couldn't feel anything.

00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:18.360
All the elevators. We just earthquake inside.

00:10:15.760 --> 00:10:22.880
Please be patient and wait for our next instruction. We thank you for your

00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:27.040
understanding. to go down. WD wants to go down. I think

00:10:24.880 --> 00:10:31.480
we're going down. So, we're going down 89 flights of stairs.

00:10:32.800 --> 00:10:40.399
Nope. Nope. We're not going down any stairs.

00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:47.300
Really? Even even

00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:48.480
if we have earthquakes.

00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:53.360
Sure. You know what's crazy is that's my

00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:56.240
first time. We've had probably four or five earthquakes in Vancouver in my

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

00:10:59.760 --> 00:11:06.120
slept through them or something. Okay. All the buildings in Taipei.

00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:13.920
The biggest building in Taipei. That is awesome.

00:11:12.079 --> 00:11:18.079
Oh, we're down on the lower level of the damper observatory.

00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:23.120
Oh, I wish we'd been looking at the damper when uh our timing was almost

00:11:21.040 --> 00:11:26.800
perfect. Yeah. Yeah. No, the after the aftershock is coming for sure, right?

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

00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:35.120
funny because if you get him from the right angle, he looks really unhappy.

00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:38.800
See, check this out. It's

00:11:35.800 --> 00:11:41.279
like anything. Yeah, we're not allowed

00:11:38.800 --> 00:11:44.880
to move. Apparently broken. The fastest elevator in the world is

00:11:42.880 --> 00:11:48.040
broken. Is it broken or is they just not let us

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

00:11:52.880 --> 00:11:59.079
you feel about traveling all the way around the world. I'm totally emailing

00:11:56.079 --> 00:12:03.360
your mom and telling her there was an

00:11:59.079 --> 00:12:05.200
earthquake more. Yeah. Uh yeah, Slick

00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:09.600
Slick's mom is already super mad at me for letting him go halfway around the

00:12:06.880 --> 00:12:13.440
world. So, uh the fact that we were 101 stories up during an earthquake is going

00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:16.000
to really thrill her. You know, she follows me on Twitter. I think I just

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

00:12:17.920 --> 00:12:24.720
true. So, you're down. So, here. Let's just This I'm fine

00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:30.959
for now. So, that was a 6.5 earthquake and this

00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:33.040
is the line to go down.

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

00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:41.120
and So, the entire team is getting uh

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

00:12:43.839 --> 00:12:49.600
going on, but Albert from WD here is uh

00:12:47.040 --> 00:12:54.560
guiding us guiding us through the process. And uh B-roll, he's Albert is

00:12:52.880 --> 00:12:58.560
his new favorite person because they've been talking shop about cameras and

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

00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:08.560
while we wait for our haircut. So, we got some pretty stylish chairs and they

00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:12.959
brought a refreshing beverage. So, so it's a paper cup, but it comes in

00:13:11.040 --> 00:13:17.760
a nice little plastic holder. I don't know what it is. It's

00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:20.760
yellow. I hope it's not for like haircuts.

00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:28.279
Okay. We're making sure the temperature is just right for

00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:42.240
not not too picky. Lennis, how you want it? Um,

00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:45.120
which shaved? No, not not shaved.
