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

00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:11,360
trusted gaming gear partner is Corsair Vengeance and our trusted retail partner

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:15,519
is ncx.com. So B-roll and I had to stay in a little

4
00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:18,960
bit this morning to edit. And while we stayed in, we heard this huge crackling

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:23,199
noise. I wasn't really sure what it was, but I was getting dressed so I wasn't too focused on it. We heard another huge

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:28,640
crackling noise. So I went to go look at the window and it's raining like crazy.

7
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:33,280
And ever since it started raining, I've been feeling homesick. And that's

8
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:38,480
probably the weirdest thing ever when rain is what makes you miss home. It's

9
00:00:36,239 --> 00:00:42,960
cuz we live in BC, so it's raining all the time. And now it's raining like

10
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:48,079
crazy. And it feels like I'm in BC except for when everything looks like

11
00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:51,039
minus the rain. So yeah. So we're in

12
00:00:48,079 --> 00:00:55,360
Taiwan, as many of you know. And no matter how much $1,000 feels like in new

13
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:59,760
Taiwanese dollars, it's actually not that much. So, we had about three grand

14
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:04,239
and B-roll and I blew through it really, really quickly on food and taxi rides.

15
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:07,840
I'm a little bit shooken up cuz we just went to Family Mart to use their ATM. I

16
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,960
put my card in, withdraw some more money so that we could actually get around cuz

17
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:14,000
we want to go see Ducky today, which I was pretty excited about. And it gave me

18
00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:18,080
the money, gave me the receipt, and did not give me my card.

19
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:22,400
I was like, I'm in a foreign country. I can't speak the language. anguage. I wish I could, but I can't speak the

20
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:26,400
language and there's my cards jammed inside of an ATM. So, I did two or three

21
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:30,240
fake transactions that I knew wouldn't work because I used the wrong options.

22
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:34,320
And then eventually, it was like, "Retchieve your card." And shot my card out, even though it said that three or

23
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:39,520
four times after doing fake transactions. Finally, it actually spat my card out.

24
00:01:37,759 --> 00:01:42,880
So, that was freaky. Still a little bit shooken up, but we're going to keep

25
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:50,799
going. We got to get go see Ducky. So, we'll catch you guys later. They have the lightest lightest

26
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:54,520
the the best brown from that era,

27
00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:54,520
you know the

28
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:07,040
And then this picture over here is actually can't really tell, but it's

29
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:13,120
actually just on my hat because it's all weird. But I

30
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:16,640
like my Canada because no one else has it in Canada. We're from Canada. So I

31
00:02:14,959 --> 00:02:20,080
can if people are there's not that many people that they're talking about

32
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:24,800
Canada. I miss you Canada. I miss you Canada.

33
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:29,200
Oh, I miss you so much Canada. Where have

34
00:02:26,959 --> 00:02:32,400
you been? I've been so long. It's been so long. It's been It's been so long. I

35
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:39,040
miss you so much. That thing is so cool. Like it's literally a sphere

36
00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:45,160
carved out of logs. Awesome. Awesome.

37
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,160
Bye.

38
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:51,440
What just happened? I don't know. I have no idea. It was kind of cool.

39
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:54,720
Slick is totally signing his autograph to this lady. No, but actually, he's

40
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:59,040
probably just writing down our contact information. But what just happened was

41
00:02:56,640 --> 00:03:06,159
these three girls over here asked to take a picture with him. Why? I'm not

42
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:10,080
completely sure. And then our nice

43
00:03:06,159 --> 00:03:12,239
hostess here for our next Yoku remote

44
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:19,920
video also asked to take a picture with him. Again, I think it's just that Slick

45
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:22,800
is that famous in Taipei. Or maybe it's

46
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:25,760
just that he's super awesome. Who knows? All right, so we're here and I've been

47
00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:28,800
to many conventions in my life because of how much I've gone to packs and land

48
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:32,319
parties and stuff where they give you these lanyards. And you'll notice if you

49
00:03:30,799 --> 00:03:37,760
look around, I don't know how much you're going to be able to pick it up right now, but most people have them

50
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:41,040
hanging around their neck. All of those people are noobs. I'm here to tell you

51
00:03:39,519 --> 00:03:45,440
guys a secret. What you do is you take your lanyard, you go to your belt loop,

52
00:03:43,519 --> 00:03:50,959
put it through the first belt loop, put through the second belt loop, grab your

53
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:52,799
lanyard, put it through here. Boom.

54
00:03:50,959 --> 00:03:56,080
Instantly pro. I learned that from my brother after going to PAX for quite a

55
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,840
few years and being a noob the entire time. Now I'm a pro. How you guys know?

56
00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:06,480
You go to Lanner Convention, that's how you do it to this like boutiquey bakery for lunch.

57
00:04:04,879 --> 00:04:13,040
And guess what happened? What happens? Like, so they give 10% off to people that are

58
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:15,920
going to copy decks. And as a pro, I

59
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:19,519
wear my tag down here. As a noob, B-roll wears his on his chest. Now, I would

60
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:23,840
like to put a disclaimer before I go through the rest of the thing. This was

61
00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:26,800
very high above the table and almost chest height for most of the people that

62
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:30,560
were serving me. Just putting that out there. But I didn't get the discount

63
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:36,080
because I didn't realize how much compex cuz they were only looking for it around your neck.

64
00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:39,919
Ah, so maybe you should wear it this way cuz trade shows.

65
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:43,840
No. No. So it started raining randomly and we

66
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:48,400
walked by someone giving out these bags and I thought I would give B-roll's

67
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:52,880
camera a hat because uh I guess you can't see but it's raining like crazy.

68
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:58,000
And as we have very not that long ago, we had a lot of problems with our FS700

69
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:00,400
having getting soaked and then almost breaking, we thought we'd give our

70
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:04,080
camera a hat and I thought it was hilarious. So, I just want to show you guys. Works well. It does work well

71
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:10,400
when in need. Yep. Okay, so I noticed something. Wait for it. Wait for it. Wait for it.

72
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:15,600
I don't know if you guys can hear that, but this hotel actually has a door knob.

73
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:19,440
Oh god, you have a key. Yes.

74
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:23,919
Just a I had a moment of terror there. Yes, I had moments over there.

75
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:27,039
Oh man. Okay, so he has a doororknob. I I knocked on his door and he didn't hear

76
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,560
me and then I knocked on his door really really hard and I was like, "Oh man, I'm

77
00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:34,400
surprised like someone hasn't thought of a better way for this just in case someone has headphones on or something

78
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,759
cuz I knew he had noise cancelling headphones on." They have a door. That's

79
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:44,000
so cool. That is really cool. Not everything here is slick sized.

80
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,440
Uh it feels weird walking through here. Is your hair actually touching?

81
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:54,320
I don't know. No, I don't think so. That's awesome. This is part of our travel blog here. This is

82
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:58,880
Albert from WD. Hi, everybody. He has the freaking coolest car that

83
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:04,639
we've seen the whole time we're here. Please just Yeah. You know what? I think

84
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:10,800
it kind of speaks for itself. So, I'm going to get you to explain how you got

85
00:06:07,039 --> 00:06:13,600
this like shiny silver finish with like

86
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:19,919
the matte black and like how Oh, this thing's awesome. So basically this is um

87
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:23,280
a a vinyl wrap uh which treated to have

88
00:06:19,919 --> 00:06:26,560
that chrome effect. Uh the matte black

89
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:29,680
is also a stretchable vinyl. Um it's

90
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:31,840
very popular now here in Asia and other

91
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:37,600
part of the world that people like to do a little you know character into their

92
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:42,720
car or personal personalization to it.

93
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:46,400
Uh I did it because I think it's cool.

94
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:48,639
I hope you guys agree. And um you really

95
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:52,160
need a lot of guts to drive this car on the road. Uh you got to get used to a

96
00:06:51,039 --> 00:06:56,880
lot of people's scares. The way people drive here, I'd be so

97
00:06:54,720 --> 00:07:03,039
afraid to have anything nice on the road. Well, fortunately, we are it seems

98
00:07:00,479 --> 00:07:07,840
chaotic, but there's certain rules and order in in a place. You just you just

99
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:14,639
have to be here to know that. And um once you get used to it

100
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:16,720
Yeah. Yeah. Sure. Minus. Yeah.

101
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:21,120
Feeling very authentic and Italian right now. We're at uh we're at a pasta

102
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:27,639
restaurant, which is of course, you know, very, you know, adventurous of us.

103
00:07:27,759 --> 00:07:36,599
Hey, Slick. Thumbs up for adventurous.

104
00:07:31,039 --> 00:07:36,599
There's like literally the size of

105
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:43,199
How many times has that happened today?

106
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:46,800
This is why I had the camera rolling. That's the second one for me.

107
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:50,000
Waiting for it to happen. Jeez.

108
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:54,080
I was I thought you were just filming the sushi thing. No, I know. I

109
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:57,199
No, I was waiting for I was waiting for you to walk into the door.

110
00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:00,720
Yeah, I was like, "Okay, it's pretty expensive sushi, I guess." Yeah.

111
00:07:59,599 --> 00:08:05,199
Are we are we going to see who it catches this time? Is that fine?

112
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:08,759
Well, I'm going out right away. First time last

113
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:17,440
Yeah. How's that, Quake?

114
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:21,759
That was uh refreshing. That was uh that was significantly more

115
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:24,879
than uh Taipei 101. I was a little bit tired. Now I'm

116
00:08:23,199 --> 00:08:29,199
completely awake. Okay. Not even going the right way.

117
00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:33,440
Yeah, that's the exit. Okay. No,

118
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:38,080
I was just going to head out cuz I didn't want to be in here.

119
00:08:34,959 --> 00:08:39,360
Should at least What is it? 15 minutes.

120
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,399
15 minutes for aftershocks. Uh, something like that.

121
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:48,480
You guys just going to leave? Yep.

122
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:53,040
Possibly explain why you're bailing on us early. Cuz I want to go to Korea early

123
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:56,320
so that you can like go to some Starcraft thing.

124
00:08:54,399 --> 00:09:00,480
Yes. But there's additional reasoning that I can't say because this will be a

125
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:02,720
public video. But I can say after I'm back.

126
00:09:01,839 --> 00:09:09,440
What? Yeah, I told you about the the box and

127
00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:10,320
the writing on the box.

128
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,839
You're confused. No, I'm not. See, you know what I'm talking about.

129
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:20,000
You're just letting everyone in the audience be confused. No, actually, I'm not. I have no idea

130
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:23,040
what you're talking about. Never mind.

131
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:27,519
Hello. That was weird.

132
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:32,320
I'm like the paparazzi of like the lamest person ever.

133
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,600
Well, apparently you're like, did you see the

134
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:39,080
every every lady here's favorite, but yeah, I did.

135
00:09:39,279 --> 00:09:46,320
That was fantastic. I'm leaving really early. I suspected you guys were up.

136
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:51,360
Yeah, I'm up. What? You're trying to get away without

137
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,360
like a tearful goodbye?

138
00:09:52,959 --> 00:09:56,160
I'm so sorry.

139
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:00,000
I'm going to tell all the ladies that are here that your beard is really sharp.

140
00:09:59,279 --> 00:10:07,680
Is it? Yeah. Well, I've never like hugged a dude with

141
00:10:03,839 --> 00:10:09,519
his like chin in my neck before. So, all

142
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:14,480
right. Well, have a good trip, sir. I will. I have to like try and navigate

143
00:10:11,839 --> 00:10:17,440
the Taipei airport by myself. So, Oh, yeah. Good luck with that.

144
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:20,480
That's why I'm going so early. be safe because I have to explain it to your mom

145
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:23,200
if you die. So, yeah, that'll be Yeah.

146
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:27,200
Okay. Good luck if that's a problem. See you.
