what's up guys Kyle here with awesomesauce news earlier this week I asked you all to send in some questions for a new Q&A segment that I would be doing called answer me dammit so first one how is the HTTP see that you built almost a year ago holding up and he changes upgrades since then or in the near future if you guys aren't familiar I built an HTTP sea about a year ago and it was mainly just for the living room here at my place I've got two roommates that I live with and we weren't really interested in getting cable so I opted for an HTTP sea solution and so far it's been working out really great I haven't really done a thing to it since then but I do have some plans in the future maybe to upgrade the GPU it's currently got a 650 Ti in there I'm sorry 650 Ti boost so not too bad at all but I might upgrade it to something a little bit more current maybe something like a 760 or maybe even wait for a mid tier Maxwell GPU in the future so I can do a little bit more gaming on it later on if I got a 256 gig vertex for and I wanted to rate it at raid zero with a Samsung 840 256 gigabyte could I raid them at all in raid zero the answer is yes you can theoretically do it you can raid any two drives the issue there is that your read/write performance is actually limited by your slowest drive so if you have one drive that supports read writes up to 500 megabytes per second and another one that supports read writes up to 400 megabytes per second your theoretical throughput would be something closer to 800 as opposed to a thousand megabytes per second just because you're limited by the slowest drive so bear that in mind also I've heard some heard some rumors online and I'm not sure if this is true or not because I haven't really tested it myself to confirm or deny either way but I've heard that if your two SSDs don't have the same controller you might run into some issues because of the internal algorithms when when trimming for example that also might cause some instability as well so my suggestion to you would be to either use them completely separately and don't raid them or sell both of them and get one heart one SSD your throughput won't be as much but at the same time you only have one drive and it reduces your risk of losing all your data because obviously in raid 0 if one drive dies they're both dead so do a little bit more research yourself and make the best decision that works for you what did you want to do earlier in your life when I was younger my grandpa used to make toys officially he worked for like companies like Tommy and Mattel he would come home sometimes and have toys that he had actually signed and me and me being a young kid thought it was amazing and I started to get creative and started to make my own toys so I would just walk walk around the house just collect random things and tape them together and MacGyver like random toys and I would show them like look do you think do you think someone will mass-produce this Cup strapped to a spoon with a ball on it it was kind of an obsession of mine as a kid always like oh yeah I want to be a toymaker when I grew up like my grandpa as I got older I realized that in order to do that you kind of had to go to school and particularly be good at math and I don't even math so I can't be an engineer and I was like yeah I don't think that's gonna happen also by the time you're like 1516 the idea of making toys doesn't really appeal to you like it did when you were seven so I guess there's that how can I join a company like Newegg NCIX or other retailer I love technology and want to have a job where I have fun doing it also I'm a first year undergrad what classes should I take this is kind of a tricky one because everybody on my team at Newegg right now has found their way into that company a completely different way so there's no one formula or strategy my suggestion would be to work on your craft whatever trades that you like work for free do internships if you can as far as what classes you should take I mean only you can can know that whatever appeals to you the most what I would advise is make a lot of connections talk to people in your classes that seem interesting or that seem knowledgeable and make connections because honestly networking is a huge benefit one of the biggest benefits I think of going to college in the first place is meeting all the people that will someday be working at these awesome companies that you want a job at and so you know whatever if you helped a guy on a project and you know you had a beer with him what one day after class maybe five years down the line he'll remember you when he's got a job at Google and you're looking for work there's overclocking your CPU or GPU void your warranty is there a hardware switch that's tripped when you do overclock your hardware in other words will the manufacturer know that you overclocked when you return it as far as I know overclocking does not void your warranty and there is no way for a manufacturer to tell if you've overclock the CPU or GPU the only way that they would be able to tell is if you tried it and they obviously saw some burn marks then clearly you've been tampering with it and probably abusing it more than you should be and in that case I think your warranty would be void other than that as long as you're overclocking within safe and reasonable parameters and you're not you know putting in one point seven volts for your unlocked ksq Haswell processor I think you're gonna be alright alright guys now we're gonna switch gears a little bit here and we're gonna do a flash round of questions I'm gonna have Aaron in the back ask me some questions I'm just gonna say the first thing that comes to my mind you guys ready 3 2 1 go which program do you use to edit your videos Adobe Premiere Pro cs6 if you could ask killer any question what would it be why you no paint good if I said I love you would you say it back Oh Aaron what's so sweet of you no seriously this is a question I know I know that's just I wasn't ready for it you know can we can we maybe talk about this after the shoot oh my god I'm wondering what major you enrolled in school to get the job you have now multimedia production management do you like burritos mate do I what's your ethnicity half white half Thai are you ever going to make t-shirts for your channel that we can buy yes but first I would like to know would you buy one alright ladies and gentlemen that is gonna wrap it up for this first ever episode of answer me dammit thank you all so much for watching I'm Cal with awesome saws news please feel free to leave your thoughts and comments about this first episode down below let me know what changes or improvements you'd like to see on future episodes thank y'all for watching and until next time I'll see you in the next video you
