WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.799 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 00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:15.519 is ncx.com. So B-roll and I had to stay in a little 00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:18.960 bit this morning to edit. And while we stayed in, we heard this huge crackling 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 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. 00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:33.280 And ever since it started raining, I've been feeling homesick. And that's 00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:38.480 probably the weirdest thing ever when rain is what makes you miss home. It's 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 00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:48.079 crazy. And it feels like I'm in BC except for when everything looks like 00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:51.039 minus the rain. So yeah. So we're in 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 00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:59.760 Taiwanese dollars, it's actually not that much. So, we had about three grand 00:00:57.760 --> 00:01:04.239 and B-roll and I blew through it really, really quickly on food and taxi rides. 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 00:01:06.240 --> 00:01:10.960 put my card in, withdraw some more money so that we could actually get around cuz 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 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:18.080 the money, gave me the receipt, and did not give me my card. 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 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 00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:30.240 fake transactions that I knew wouldn't work because I used the wrong options. 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 00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:39.520 four times after doing fake transactions. Finally, it actually spat my card out. 00:01:37.759 --> 00:01:42.880 So, that was freaky. Still a little bit shooken up, but we're going to keep 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 00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:54.520 the the best brown from that era, 00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:54.520 you know the 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:07.040 And then this picture over here is actually can't really tell, but it's 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:13.120 actually just on my hat because it's all weird. But I 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 00:02:14.959 --> 00:02:20.080 can if people are there's not that many people that they're talking about 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:24.800 Canada. I miss you Canada. I miss you Canada. 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:29.200 Oh, I miss you so much Canada. Where have 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 00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:39.040 miss you so much. That thing is so cool. Like it's literally a sphere 00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:45.160 carved out of logs. Awesome. Awesome. 00:02:42.160 --> 00:02:45.160 Bye. 00:02:45.920 --> 00:02:51.440 What just happened? I don't know. I have no idea. It was kind of cool. 00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:54.720 Slick is totally signing his autograph to this lady. No, but actually, he's 00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:59.040 probably just writing down our contact information. But what just happened was 00:02:56.640 --> 00:03:06.159 these three girls over here asked to take a picture with him. Why? I'm not 00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:10.080 completely sure. And then our nice 00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:12.239 hostess here for our next Yoku remote 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 00:03:15.040 --> 00:03:22.800 is that famous in Taipei. Or maybe it's 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 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 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:32.319 parties and stuff where they give you these lanyards. And you'll notice if you 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 00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:41.040 hanging around their neck. All of those people are noobs. I'm here to tell you 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, 00:03:43.519 --> 00:03:50.959 put it through the first belt loop, put through the second belt loop, grab your 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:52.799 lanyard, put it through here. Boom. 00:03:50.959 --> 00:03:56.080 Instantly pro. I learned that from my brother after going to PAX for quite a 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? 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. 00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:13.040 And guess what happened? What happens? Like, so they give 10% off to people that are 00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:15.920 going to copy decks. And as a pro, I 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 00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:23.840 like to put a disclaimer before I go through the rest of the thing. This was 00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:26.800 very high above the table and almost chest height for most of the people that 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:30.560 were serving me. Just putting that out there. But I didn't get the discount 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. 00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:39.919 Ah, so maybe you should wear it this way cuz trade shows. 00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:43.840 No. No. So it started raining randomly and we 00:04:42.080 --> 00:04:48.400 walked by someone giving out these bags and I thought I would give B-roll's 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. 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 00:04:55.440 --> 00:05:00.400 having getting soaked and then almost breaking, we thought we'd give our 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 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. 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. 00:05:13.520 --> 00:05:19.440 Oh god, you have a key. Yes. 00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:23.919 Just a I had a moment of terror there. Yes, I had moments over there. 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 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 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 00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:37.759 cuz I knew he had noise cancelling headphones on." They have a door. That's 00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:44.000 so cool. That is really cool. Not everything here is slick sized. 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:49.440 Uh it feels weird walking through here. Is your hair actually touching? 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 00:05:52.880 --> 00:05:58.880 Albert from WD. Hi, everybody. He has the freaking coolest car that 00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:04.639 we've seen the whole time we're here. Please just Yeah.

So, I'm going to get you to explain how you got 00:06:07.039 --> 00:06:13.600 this like shiny silver finish with like 00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:19.919 the matte black and like how Oh, this thing's awesome. So basically this is um 00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:23.280 a a vinyl wrap uh which treated to have 00:06:19.919 --> 00:06:26.560 that chrome effect. Uh the matte black 00:06:23.280 --> 00:06:29.680 is also a stretchable vinyl. Um it's 00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:31.840 very popular now here in Asia and other 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:37.600 part of the world that people like to do a little you know character into their 00:06:34.400 --> 00:06:42.720 car or personal personalization to it. 00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:46.400 Uh I did it because I think it's cool. 00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:48.639 I hope you guys agree. And um you really 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 00:06:51.039 --> 00:06:56.880 lot of people's scares. The way people drive here, I'd be so 00:06:54.720 --> 00:07:03.039 afraid to have anything nice on the road. Well, fortunately, we are it seems 00:07:00.479 --> 00:07:07.840 chaotic, but there's certain rules and order in in a place. You just you just 00:07:05.840 --> 00:07:14.639 have to be here to know that. And um once you get used to it 00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:16.720 Yeah. Yeah. Sure. Minus.
