So Justine's in town, she's visiting and my writers actually came up with a
0:06
really special challenge for us. They have given us each a PC and a Mac to
0:13
determine once and for all which one is truly the easiest to use, but with a
0:19
twist. Why am I on the PC side? My name is over here. You get the PC and I get the
0:25
Mac. What were they thinking? Here we go, and there's a pen? There's a pen! Why do I get the
0:33
gummed up mouse pad? Look at this thing, it's like, I want to believe these are
0:40
food stains. Wow, we've got, we've got pens. So in these
0:46
envelopes are our challenges. I believe it is ten tasks that we have to complete
0:53
using, let's just say our non-preferred
0:57
platform.
0:57
Yeah, I mean, it's not like I've never used Windows. I basically open up
1:01
Fortnite, I'll open up Overwatch, I'll open up Minecraft or Diablo, and then I
1:05
close them and I go on my merry way.
1:07
So I wish you luck.
1:09
You too.
1:10
Today's video is brought to you by Savage Jerky. Savage Jerky is made with
1:15
the best ingredients. I recommend the maple buffalo bacon flavor. Oh, I really
1:19
do. Use code LTT and save 10% at the link below.
1:23
So, I mean, this isn't one of the challenges, so can you coach me through
1:35
this? Do I have to do this?
1:35
Do I do the green one or the yellow one?
1:37
That one.
1:37
The yellow one?
1:38
Yes.
1:39
And it'll just go away? I don't have to look at it anymore?
1:41
You're done.
1:42
I don't think I'm going to win this challenge.
1:45
I mean, I don't know what these challenges are. I mean, honestly, I, do we just open
1:51
them and see?
1:52
I mean, look at this mouse.
1:54
Okay, so recently I found out that, you know, people aren't really a big fan of the
1:59
Magic Mouse.
2:00
You found this out recently?
2:01
Yes.
2:01
Have you ever Googled, lady?
2:03
But I love it! Especially for me.
2:05
Especially for Final Cut. Like, I use that to scrub through my timeline. I use it for
2:09
everything. I even travel with one.
2:11
The only thing that I don't like is that you have to charge it at the bottom.
2:17
How have they not fixed that yet?
2:20
I don't know.
2:21
That was, like, immediately a meme.
2:23
It's a problem.
2:24
And knowing Apple, they would have some kind of over-engineered solution, like a, like
2:29
a f***ing levitating f***ing thing you put it on so that you can, you can plug a thing.
2:34
But they haven't even done that.
2:35
I would buy it.
2:36
I would buy it.
2:37
I would probably buy five.
2:38
Did someone lick these?
2:39
Who seals envelopes anymore?
2:40
Uh, I don't know.
2:41
These are just, these are just prop envelopes.
2:42
Oh, wow.
2:43
There's something in them.
2:44
Oh, there is something.
2:45
Ooh!
2:46
There's a USB key.
2:47
This is so elaborate.
2:48
Look at this.
2:49
I thought you said there were 10.
2:50
There's 18.
2:51
Is this a race?
2:52
Are we allowed to Google things?
2:54
Shut up.
2:55
No.
2:56
This is, like, really scary.
2:57
I don't know.
2:58
I don't know.
2:59
I don't know.
3:00
I don't know.
3:01
I don't know.
3:02
I don't know.
3:04
I don't know.
3:05
I don't know.
3:06
I don't know.
3:07
I don't know.
3:08
I don't know.
3:09
I don't know.
3:10
I don't know.
3:11
I don't know.
3:12
I don't know.
3:13
I don't know.
3:14
This is a really scary version of Survivor.
3:15
This is actually really stressful.
3:16
This is!
3:17
Okay.
3:19
Oh, I'm sweating.
3:20
Is it hot in here?
3:21
Wait, are we starting now?
3:22
Okay.
3:23
Go, I guess.
3:24
Okay!
3:27
Okay.
3:28
Oh, gosh.
3:29
I hate safari.
3:30
Safari is a piece of garbage.
3:31
Um, I'm just, Slack desktop.
3:32
No.
3:33
Oh, boy.
3:34
Oh, crap.
3:35
I'm doing it wrong already.
3:36
There's a, there's a thing.
3:38
There's the App Store.
3:39
You're Googling!
3:40
No.
3:41
That doesn't count.
3:42
Okay, hold on.
3:43
So.
3:44
Yes!
3:44
I just get it.
3:47
It says download and install Slack desktop from the web.
3:49
From the web.
3:50
Oh.
3:51
So wait a minute.
3:52
Why do I need an Apple password just to install an app?
3:56
Okay, I'm installing Slack now.
3:58
I don't know where it's going.
3:59
I need to start.
4:00
This launch pad has a thing here.
4:06
Okay, well, I guess I'll.
4:08
How do I right click?
4:09
Hold on, I think I have to turn on right click.
4:11
I remember this.
4:14
Is there a USB on this?
4:17
This monitor?
4:18
Did you guys not do that?
4:20
Did I shut it off?
4:21
I shut it off!
4:25
Oh my God, did I?
4:26
Wait.
4:29
I allowed to give her a hint.
4:31
To turn it off.
4:32
No hints.
4:33
I wanted to give you a hint too, but I didn't want to.
4:40
Move a file from a flash drive to the desktop.
4:42
See now, I do know that the USB drives
4:46
are on the back of the iMac.
4:47
Yeah.
4:48
Because it's an all-in-one.
4:49
I thought that we had that too.
4:50
Title.
4:51
Document.
4:52
No, oh crap.
4:53
Why did a spotlight search for document
4:56
open the keyboard options?
5:00
Now, Windows search, not great.
5:03
Spotlight, generally better.
5:05
That was not a good showing.
5:06
Not a good look for it.
5:08
Hey, no cheating.
5:10
Well, no, seeing that you're using WordPad
5:13
isn't gonna help me.
5:16
Sheets, is that what?
5:17
No, it's not called sheets.
5:19
Keynote, yeah, yeah.
5:20
Essentials.
5:21
Oh my, why can't you click essentials
5:23
and have it show you other essentials?
5:25
How is that?
5:26
Pages!
5:27
Pages.
5:29
Isn't it already?
5:30
And why do I have to install that?
5:31
See, even, you heard it.
5:34
I didn't say it.
5:37
It was already installed.
5:39
Why is that not installed?
5:40
I didn't read my directions.
5:42
I have to say this.
5:45
Do you guys print PDFs or no?
5:48
Is that not a thing?
5:49
Do you guys not do that?
5:50
Like you go into print and you can click,
5:52
oh, print as PDF and it prints it out as a PDF on.
5:55
Do you guys not do that?
5:57
I'm just, I'm just.
6:00
Okay, maybe this.
6:01
Welcome to pages.
6:02
No, no, no.
6:03
Just open, create a document.
6:04
Thank you.
6:05
Other format.
6:07
Okay.
6:08
Add a title.
6:10
There's no PDF option.
6:13
Insert.
6:14
What do you mean by title?
6:16
Do you mean like a header?
6:17
Yeah.
6:20
Okay, but there's no option to save this as a PDF.
6:21
Insert a page number.
6:23
How do you just do a header?
6:25
Rich text.
6:26
Like there's a, look, there's a header control thing.
6:28
You can control how big it is.
6:35
Okay, there's no option to save this as a PDF.
6:37
I'm very upset.
6:38
Create a new section.
6:40
Nice.
6:41
This is to make a PDF on a Mac.
6:41
Holy crap.
6:42
When you click text, it creates a text box.
6:45
Do you know how easy it is to make a PDF on a Mac?
6:48
Super easy.
6:49
Do you know that in Word,
6:50
you can just right click on text
6:51
and you can change all the properties you want about it?
6:54
This is, see, the problem is not
6:55
that you can't enable right click on a Mac.
6:57
You can.
6:58
It's just, it's not designed for it.
7:00
So nothing useful happens when you right click.
7:02
That's why Mac people don't think
7:04
that right click is important.
7:05
We control click?
7:07
Control freaks.
7:10
I can probably make a PDF line, but not this.
7:12
This is bad.
7:13
I'm looking at.
7:14
I can't save this as a PDF.
7:16
I'm typing a paragraph right now about-
7:18
I'm so mad.
7:19
My wonderful experience using the Macintosh.
7:23
That's right, I'm gonna call it a Macintosh.
7:25
I'm gonna do that on purpose.
7:26
How is picture not under insert?
7:31
Right click.
7:31
My friend Linus renamed.
7:32
Right click, rename.
7:38
I just am really upset
7:39
that this won't export as a stupid PDF.
7:42
Like I'm stuck on this.
7:43
James can suck it.
7:45
But I did.
7:46
There we go.
7:47
I renamed it.
7:48
$85 for PDF expert.
7:52
PDF to word free has one star though.
7:55
And that's from the same company.
7:58
This is unfair.
7:59
It's not letting me save this as a PDF.
8:02
It makes me very-
8:04
I'm not ahead of you.
8:05
I know we're on-
8:06
Just to be very clear.
8:07
We're on the same step.
8:09
Do you know how to do this on here?
8:11
Yes.
8:11
Really?
8:12
Of course.
8:13
Yeah, but it's not, am I doing the wrong thing?
8:16
Why is it not here?
8:17
Shouldn't I be able to print it to file?
8:21
Right?
8:23
Right?
8:28
This is so ridiculous.
8:31
This is, there's no option.
8:32
Export to PDF.
8:34
Wait, don't you think that should be,
8:37
there's not an option to do it on here.
8:39
Yeah, baby.
8:40
I'm even gonna set it to best image quality.
8:44
James can suck it to the desktop.
8:47
Bam.
8:48
PDF, baby.
8:50
Yeah, but like you can't do that on here.
8:51
Okay, can I see this?
8:53
Can I see this first?
8:54
Hold on.
8:55
No, no, no.
8:56
Let me see this for a second here.
8:57
I would throw my computer across the room
8:59
and say I don't need a freaking PDF at that point.
9:05
We might have to let this one slide.
9:09
How is this not working?
9:11
I am asking myself the same thing,
9:13
but how was your PDF experience over there?
9:18
Well, eventually, once I figured out how to use it,
9:20
it was relatively fine.
9:24
Hmm, okay.
9:25
Well, why don't we just give Justine a pass
9:27
on that one?
9:28
Yeah, okay.
9:28
Okay, so now we have to download a picture
9:30
of ourselves from the web.
9:31
I am actually sweating right now.
9:32
Me too.
9:35
Okay, oh boy.
9:36
What picture will we choose?
9:38
How about a picture of me holding up my book
9:40
in front of a Mac?
9:42
Wait, do I need to save the screenshot?
9:42
Take a screenshot?
9:44
Oh.
9:45
Oh, you're in trouble.
9:49
You're in trouble.
9:52
Okay, I need to force-
9:53
It's probably like command option,
9:56
some stupid demented, wait.
9:59
Did I just get this?
10:01
Hold on.
10:02
Hey, technically, that's a screenshot.
10:04
Is it? Wait, what did you do?
10:05
What did you push?
10:06
Command P.
10:07
No, that's-
10:08
That's a screenshot.
10:09
Save as PDF?
10:11
Mother .
10:14
That's a screenshot.
10:15
I'm counting it.
10:16
Save, bam, screenshot.
10:18
It's a, oh, it's 14 pages.
10:20
That's definitely not a screenshot.
10:22
That's a screenshot.
10:23
That is not a screenshot.
10:23
That is a screenshot.
10:24
That is not a screen, that is a screen.
10:26
You're printing from a program.
10:28
So?
10:29
No, that's not a screenshot.
10:30
And that's not the right screenshot command.
10:32
Judge, is that a screenshot?
10:33
That's not a screenshot.
10:34
Look at it, look at it.
10:35
He printed in an application.
10:37
He printed out all the processes into a PDF.
10:39
Not a screenshot.
10:41
That is not a screenshot.
10:42
Oh, you're only able to do this
10:44
because of the one particular thing I asked you
10:46
to screenshot.
10:47
And if I had asked you to screenshot something else,
10:48
it wouldn't work?
10:49
Would not have worked.
10:51
So?
10:52
Nope.
10:53
Take a screenshot of your current CPU.
10:54
Is that my current CPU usage?
10:57
Well, I mean-
10:58
I'm going on to the next step.
11:00
Oh my goodness.
11:02
But that's not, that's not fair though.
11:03
Put your document-
11:04
While you're in there.
11:05
Picture view.
11:06
For stop the text editor.
11:08
Do a photo.
11:09
I'm counting it.
11:10
You know what?
11:10
We'll let the viewers be the judge.
11:11
We will.
11:12
Was that a screenshot?
11:13
Yay or nay?
11:14
Definitely was not, guys.
11:16
Don't let him, don't let him lie to you.
11:18
For stop the text editor program.
11:19
What is it even called?
11:22
Okay, put your compressed folder on the flash drive.
11:25
Woo, woo.
11:27
And of course it made a copy of it because it's garbage.
11:30
I'm shutting down my computer.
11:31
What?
11:35
Oh wait, let me stop my recording first
11:37
because it's gonna yell at me.
11:38
Oh, it's not the trash can anymore.
11:38
It's an eject thing.
11:40
Delete the document from the machine.
11:43
Hold on, trash.
11:45
Uninstall, delete Slack.
11:47
Hold on a second.
11:49
Where's the app store?
11:50
Did I do?
11:51
Oh shoot, I restarted instead of shut down.
11:53
I shut down instead of restarted.
11:54
Oh God.
11:55
I can still win this.
11:56
How do I find stuff that is installed?
11:59
I'll just search for it.
12:00
Slack.
12:02
Holy crap.
12:03
Uninstall next to it.
12:04
Doesn't give you the option to delete it.
12:05
Why does it not give you the option to delete it?
12:09
What is this?
12:11
Slack, right click.
12:12
Garbage, garbage, garbage.
12:14
No, yes, yes, garbage.
12:16
Hold on.
12:17
Uninstall, delete Slack.
12:18
Are you done?
12:19
Yes.
12:20
Damn it.
12:20
It's okay.
12:21
I got stuck on a stupid PDF.
12:22
I got, this was rigged.
12:23
This was absolutely rigged.
12:25
Turn off the computer.
12:28
Well, technically my computer restarted.
12:30
So we may still-
12:31
Wait, shut down.
12:33
But now I don't have a-
12:35
OBS is active.
12:36
Oh, uh, no, I don't want to exit OBS.
12:39
Uh, uh, uh, stop recording.
12:41
Um, and-
12:43
Shut down, shut down, shut down, shut down, shut down.
12:45
Oh, I canceled it!
12:46
No!
12:57
Painful.
12:58
In so many, so many ways.
13:02
This was so much harder than I was expecting.
13:06
This is the simplest shit.
13:08
I could not make a PDF.
13:09
And to be fair, it was rigged.
13:10
The PDF was rigged.
13:11
In fairness to you, as far as I know,
13:15
that should have worked.
13:16
It should have.
13:18
So where did you get hung up at?
13:20
Like, what was your difficult task?
13:21
I couldn't figure out how to, uh,
13:24
add a header to my document.
13:27
Okay, you know what?
13:28
We should fire the machines back up.
13:29
Let's do it.
13:30
Okay.
13:31
Let's chat about, let's chat about some things
13:32
that went wrong.
13:33
I don't know if I was doing this properly.
13:34
Okay.
13:35
But to take a screenshot-
13:37
Yeah.
13:37
I print, I printed the screen.
13:39
Yeah.
13:39
And then I went into paint.
13:40
Yep, yeah, that's-
13:41
And is that what people still do?
13:42
No.
13:43
Okay.
13:44
So now you use a snipping tool.
13:44
Is that a built-in thing?
13:49
Yeah.
13:49
And then you just click new,
13:52
and then you just drag it around whatever you want.
13:53
Oh, really?
13:54
Yeah.
13:55
So if you want the whole screen, sure, boom.
13:56
There you go.
13:57
Snipping tool.
13:58
And then you can highlight,
13:59
or you can-
14:00
Look at that.
14:00
Like, draw on it, or whatever.
14:02
And then you can send it to someone,
14:04
or save it, or whatever.
14:05
I'm still stuck in, uh, like 10, 15 years ago,
14:08
using paint.
14:09
Oh, I used, actually, ShareX.
14:11
It's a third-party program,
14:12
and what it does is you can create
14:14
all kinds of different
14:15
screen capture hotkeys,
14:16
and then you can have it save the file,
14:18
upload to Imgur, copy that Imgur link to your clipboard,
14:20
so you can just paste it and send it to someone.
14:21
Wow.
14:22
Or you can upload it to any other image service you want,
14:22
or you can not.
14:23
You can skip any of those steps,
14:24
and then you can have it either be a selection like that,
14:25
or just grab the whole screen, or even scroll,
14:27
like, down along my page and capture the whole thing.
14:28
That's really cool.
14:28
ShareX is really cool.
14:29
But where are you trying to add a header?
14:31
Nowhere here was it supposed to add a header.
14:33
I, he said add a title,
14:34
and I asked, do you mean in a header?
14:36
And he's like, yeah.
14:37
But, like, a title.
14:37
So he screwed me, too.
14:39
I might have thought you said heading.
14:42
I've got a heading for you, out the door.
14:46
