2013-06-06
Linus tech tips coverage of Computex 2013 is powered by Western Digital our trusted gaming gear partner is Corsair Vengeance and our trusted retail partner is NCI XCOM okay so okay come on help me out with this okay so 13th unlocking okay 13 is missing and then four is unlucky for is me 14 body half 14 then you know it's kind of ridiculous it's like the place my parents live they have no 13th floor no floors with four in them but then it goes up to 40 floors so they have 40 41 42 psyche you don't just get to make up new rules so our room here at the Sherwood is awesome check this out there's like a place to sit that okay know the place to sit makes no sense but it's like I don't know you could if you have like a really small person then you'd have like in it maybe it's like a dog bed well you're like a romantic thing I'm antegrade like have a couple sit well the beds over there they brought what the romance and we've got our closet so that's where the safe is including a romantic housecoat please don't open the veins bitch got it okay toilets aren't for toilets huge the bathroom is huge so this is this is sort of different because oh another romantic house good so oh whoa okay so you could have two people showering in this bathroom at the same time but one of them would be expected to kind of do this and then the other one would be expected to go in the actual stand-up shower so it has both a bath and a shower and an additional shower for the bath but only one sink mind you so you wouldn't get sort of too many too many sort of people in here at the same time although one person could be on the heated can so there's power save functionality seat heat and seat sensor and then there's a control panel on the left Oh control panel yeah there we go okay so what happens you press the thing and get me on it yeah be on it for it to work yeah it has sensors it has sensors well but if you like what you I guess it's probably pretty powerful I don't want you using it as like a drinking fountain yeah because it can squirt over the seat oh okay here we go so next we've got to clean beds which is much better than our arrangement at CES where we had to have four people sharing to clean beds now we have two people sharing to clean beds which is awesome I'm sharing a room with b-roll got a TV but our little cabinet here with presumably ludicrous of expense and I yes Pringles I'm almost afraid to touch them just because probably poison um and then old enough poison but don't be expensive and Oh our breakfast menu which is brilliant because our breakfast is covered for us every day except the days of the Computex show so we're like well we're here for Computex they're like oh well then you get breakfast on this one day here's our desk here is our window here is B rolls chair yes my chair woo this is actually a super super comfy chair and that's pretty much it that's our room it's actually super super nice so those buttheads left the hotel without us because we're running behind them and they didn't give us the note in the hotel so we have no idea where they are now taijuan cellular corp but like I don't know we're in the spot now great so a loss so apparently this store is closed but forever thank you like forever III don't know he was just like out there gone so okay how can a hotel not have that updated already I don't know and parently that's where they said it's like a diesel so then they must be just wondering you have got to be kidding me this is a great start have I told you how great will start this is so here we are in Taipei it's uh yep and everything is closed we're trying to buy some cards well it's gone out we don't really know how things work here it's like really confusing oh okay and yeah apparently he went the other way we should do the samething lady not we got to similan and why because I think it's the only sword it's gonna be open and it's really really humid so we won't drink yeah rule number one stay hydrated ah you got something like egg things going on here and looks like you kind of make your own sort of delicious things and we got some like hot dogs this is this is really that different seafood wrap so our seaweed wraps in cellar doors yeah yeah all look good 7-eleven this is new well we got another note at him we are in our room we assumed you would stay here long so we've been on I've got these chase how long were we walked like away from 7-eleven where's there where's their room 14 911 oh hi did you guys find SIM cards no we could do it did you like how the the directions were to a place that the guy told us is like gone what yeah so so we went down there then we're like oh well they're from North America maybe they gravitated towards the 7-eleven after someone who's actually less adventurous than me can you walk me through the foreign delicacies that you have on your plate here I have a what they call backing over here back in yakking and welcome fun yeah these socks so T so T attentions patatas okay haggis Wow cool these look can you explain to me why you did this well I thought I would clean up this mess because the guy who did it - sorry did you say slick nice and - it's like why would you put sausages in miso soup now that I think this video record will prove that it was you okay so we're heading for the second tallest building in the world I got Jason from WD who is of course taking pictures with someone else's cell phone other than mine hello thanks man give me point to get the building oh just it's playing video right now cool so yeah we're gonna head up there which will be pretty exciting the highest I've ever been is Hotel in Vegas which was not the Sun cool I guess if I say the highest I've ever been is at a hotel in Vegas that could be interpreted a little the wrong way but Oh Taipei 101 it's like the only building taller than you uh how do we get there I'm assuming you up yeah we have to talk about this okay up as opposed to down it's like how are your ears doing in the world's fastest elevator directions I can see the thing tracking I'm quickly reminded 1,000 liters per minute that is quite big ass Wow my ears popped like multiple times on the way up here oh it's probably fine there is bigger this was pretty cool I guess McGill holy crap it's cool because how the building is built it comes out on an angle so when you look over it feels like you're actually leaning over the edge because it comes in that is very disorienting I mean that right there must be like what a 30-story building and it this is just makes it look stupid you can see everywhere sorry can you tell me can you tell me how normal this is this vibration we're feeling right now okay so so the staff here on Taipei 101 is very reassuring everyone seems to be kind of heading for the elevator over there Wow okay we can go there's like people running around with like messages and stuff it's funny cuz we were just in there talking about how to damper made it so we couldn't feel anything changing original experiment - please be patient and wait for our next instruction we thank you for understanding WD wants to go down I think we're going down so we're going down 89 flights of stairs no no we're not going down any stairs yeah you know what's crazy is that's my first time we've had but with four or five birthplace and then Hoover in my life that's the first time I've ever actually felt that way yeah I have always slept through them or something imagine our biggest building Taipei that is an awesome oh we're down on the lower level of BI damper observatory oh I wish we've been looking at the damper when our timing was almost perfect yeah yeah he'll be after the aftershock is coming for sure right yes so that should be good I'm just gonna hide behind this dude it's funny because if you get him from the right angle he looks really unhappy yeah 6x is oh it's like oh yeah we're not allowed to move the fastest elevator in the world is broken is it broken or they're not letting us walk down either we're basically stalking to say this tell me how you feel about traveling all the way around the world I'm totally emailing your mom and telling her there was an earthquake that is uh yeah slurps licks mom is already super mad at me for letting him go halfway around the world so uh the fact that we were 101 stories up during an earthquake is gonna really throw her you know she follows me on Twitter I think we don't have to know it's gonna kill she's weekly mean about me that's true so here that's just the same fine good vibe right now so that was a 6.5 earthquake and this is the line to go down so I have her I think we're a bit early we should buy some jewelry so the entire team is getting a haircut so that we look nice and slick for tomorrow we have no idea what's going on but Albert from WV here is guiding us through the process and the role he's Albert is his new favorite person as they've been talking shop about cameras and lenses and stuff I barely even understood the whole time they were talking so chairs and a refreshing beverage so it's a paper cup but it comes in a nice little plastic holder of the witness I hope it's not for making sure the temperatures just right not to picking lettuce how you want it ah hole headed which shape no not not shape just shorter just it on uh you know what whatever whatever they think it should about the Joe the G probably by tieguanyin good plan but I need them to show me how to have you know about it style it properly after this is a diesel get abused eyebrow shape over up over at the shoulder yeah let me get out of the way I have you know how to censor stuff sorry yep yeah there's nothing you can do right now because there's a straightedge like I did to his face and I was touching it oh she's gonna do it yeah chance yeah yeah I I've never felt this we had John there ever was
