I am really hoping for the best here so it's been a while since I've done a livestream off a cell phone because the last couple of times that I did it I had problems with well the YouTube app on Android being a gigantic steaming pile of garbage and kicking me off the stream even though I had an excellent connection so I grabbed the iPhone 10 R that's been sitting in my phone charger thing ever since I was supposed to review it because dbrand did send one over for me to review and they were like hey yeah you know we skimmed two dogs so like it'd be great if you could mention us in your review while I didn't review it and so I didn't mention you but hey I've been sitting in doubt it's a little awkward anyway so I apologize for the kind of potato quality event stop so I'm actually that bad though so all right here's the situation for the first time since I started my journey as a full time youtuber I've had a lot of people ask me over the years like - you're crazy why do you guys need so many people to make videos why do you have the Zelda's the facility that you build right you did why do you do all these things and the answer is actually pretty simple it's because instead of just trying to build a YouTube channel my goal since I started has been to build a real business you know it's like Pinocchio right and I actually I said this a lot of times maybe you're not stupid I want to be a real company so so one of my goals is because I mean obviously you guys have probably seen a lot of the news articles videos think all kinds of things talking about youtuber burnout and you know for my part like I've kind of stayed silent on the whole thing because I don't want I don't want there to be a perception while there's a guy on the roof over there just like walking around on the roof in our complex anyway sorry sorry sorry off-topic um you know I don't want to want to contribute to a perception that I am complaining about my job because the reality of it is that I have the best job on the face of the earth it's the coolest thing ever I I love technology I love just playing with it all day and making videos about it for you guys I think it's so cool that whenever we upload a video thousands tens of thousands millions of people watch it it's it's the most amazing feeling ever so I I don't I don't want to complain about it and I don't want people to feel like I'm complaining about it the issue is just that when you go six years without ever actually taking a vacation it is pretty exhausting and to be clear I have taken time out where I'm not actually in the office the key difference is that in order to do that because I don't know if you guys have noticed this but in the last I believe it's been about eight years the Linus tech tips YouTube channel has not missed one day of upload and now there have been situations where we didn't upload this day but we uploaded to the next day but on average we have never missed a day and that's because anytime I've tried to get out of the office in the past I've just had to work double-time for the week prior or the week after I get back in order to make up for the difference but this time this time we are doing something well we're doing something really risky actually because I have a fantastic team here but I think you guys have probably seen many examples over the years of youtubers trying to you know swap themselves out on their channels in order to I don't know save some time for themselves or I mean really usually that's the main reason you would do that so I have a great team but there's a huge risk in allowing your great team however great they are to host videos on the channel and that is exactly the plan so every week at Linus media group we make six LTT episodes one when show so that's up to seven and then sometimes an extra LTTE so some of you have noticed this but on Fridays a lot of the time there will be a live stream or there'll be like a sponsored video the idea is that there's always the six that we feel are standout and then if there's something that we're like okay there's a sponsor obligation for this but like people might not like it that much we try to make that an extra video that week so then there's so there's my on show so that's seven then there's two two three episodes of tech quickie so that's nine to ten and then there's three episodes of tech linked so now we're up to 12 to 13 so I did bank some tech quickie that's done that's taken care of no one will have to deal with that but I have challenged my team here in their new space yeah we actually moved there's gonna be a vlog coming soon by the way it's kind of hilarious I think because we actually moved so Lloyd are our clothing designer Nick is in the pink office no just fantastic I love that he was so tilted Yvonne's & Mild office Colton's in the little office over there where John used to say anyway they're all over there and then the writing team is actually over here now so I challenged them in our Monday morning meeting to keep up to do six ltte videos while I was gone in spite of the fact that I will be completely gone Riley what's up how's it going so you're you I think your plan is to actually host some of the videos while I'm gone is that correct that's right I've done a little bit of that before but I'm really nervous really I mean a little bit and these guys are scarier these guys are the viewers yeah oh I see okay so what's what's your video playing long gone well I'm making firm paced uh-huh-huh as you can see here I have some looking up some tips and it's gonna be very interesting I've never done anything like this before I think the last time that I mixed chemicals in a real fashion was probably grade 11 so that's probably is gonna it's been a while so your baby so sorry you're making thermal paste thermal paste for a CPU you know it goes on top of that I know what thermal paste cooler yeah so what control do you want to know what I'm doing it with spoiler I'd love to hear I'd love to hear a couple of the concepts well obviously obviously toothpaste is in there yeah well okay that's what you have to do that's a pretty famous kind of alternative thermal paste but there are some materials that you would think are good but then they actually need a little bit of modification in order to work properly so I found a recipe for tooth paste mixed with Vaseline there is a recipe for silicon grease and diamond powder and we're learning again diamond powder we're even there's also mustard is it is this potions class like tin severus snape hook you up with a wish I would love to have Snape as my thermal paste instructor okay so so that's your plan for your video and then if if one of our team members who's like not necessarily that comfortable in front of the camera has something hmm are you gonna do the script review process and like or something yeah I guess so I mean I might you might end up getting a call Linus on your oh I kind of assumed I kind of assumed I would get at least one call yeah well know try not to still has my phone this one's supposed to be me and somebody else maybe oh really yeah oh who are you gonna do with oh okay okay Anthony's wearing headphones so it'll be Alex ouch dang things my god fun so it's gonna be not Anthony Anthony alright oh wait is that wait oh yeah yeah no that's not embargoed okay yeah so we're a little late on our GTX 1160 excuse me sixteen sixty okay honestly that was not even on purpose they should have called it the eleven sixty it's so stupid that they didn't anyway Anthony's working on all the graphs for our 1160 video really interesting approach that he's created actually for how we evaluate value in our reviews now so it used to be that in a graphics card review we would take whatever the cost of the graphics card is let's say $200 or $300 or whatever and we would divide that by no we would take the FPS we divide that by the dollars the graphics card costs and then that would give us FPS per dollar a value measure the problem with FPS per dollar is that it doesn't account for the cost of the entire system so what we've started doing and this was Anthony's initiative is breaking out the value of a graphics card as an upgrade so as a standalone component compared to the value of a graphics card as part of a total system where we'll actually look at different total system price points and figure out if that graphics card would make any sense at those different price points because the thing is once you even if a gtx 1050 is the best FPS per dollar if you were spending two grand or three thousand dollars on your computer it would be such a bottleneck that and it would be such a small part of the overall budget that you have that if you were to spend twice as much on something in order to get you know 20% or 30% more FPS your overall system might only be 10% more expensive or 5% more expensive but be 20 or 30% faster so so it's just a different way of looking at value and it's it's made the graphs and charts a little bit more confusing but hopefully you guys can follow along with us here so we'll talk about doesn't make sense as an upgrade component versus doesn't make sense as like part of a $500 or 1000 or 1500 dollar system anyway Anthony you also have a project while I'm gone delia I do you I think I have to - yeah well I think you said that one you were kind of thinking that you're gonna do yourself any well which one was that that was the node or ways to build guide oh yeah so I don't know I mean you guys can let us know it's been a long time since we've done a build guide actually did you pitch it to me I think so right yeah so Anthony pitched to me he was like yo we haven't done a build guide in literally a year I was like oh oops because this item scrapyard wars build guides are the things that people walk up to me at trade shows or on the street and I'm like - been love your content your build guide you taught me how to you taught me how to build a computer and for me that's awesome and then I've basically taken a year off from the thing that people get most amped about and so I'm like oh yeah that's a good idea Anthony so the concept for it is the no dollar wasted build guide so every component contributes to performance in some way so I kind of thought given it's been a long time since we've done a build guide I should probably host it regardless of vacation so maybe I should do it when I get back but you guys can let me know in the comments if you'd like to see someone else from the team host it yeah that would be pretty tough what else did you have planned for him done which angle are you gonna take on it first I think I'm gonna take the most powerful the most powerful Anglos powerful Mac the most powerful back I mean we could also just do a video that's like a guide of how to do it yeah rather than go right into the like the wow factor stuff we could just do more like a tutorial or like I don't know okay you know what yeah it's it's kind of up to you we could also just do the wow factor one and then do a tutorial as a follow up how do it to gamers one CPU was an interesting one because that one we had the wow factor payoff but we actually structured the video itself more like a tutorial yeah so that one I don't know I'm kind of I'm kind of flexible on it whatever you're most comfortable with because Anthony may end up hosting it or he may hand off to someone else to co-host or he may handle off to someone else to host entirely but he's gonna be working with the rest of the team you guys can let him know in the comments below what approach you'd like to see him take oh sorry yet something you say yeah I was actually going to say that we could possibly also do the Linux gaming update well we've been planning on doing that but it kind of fell off our radar during the last content meeting oh that's true actually we could do that um that's that's a great idea too we're not actually out of ideas it has never actually happened there's too many things to do and not enough time yeah I think a proton update would make a ton of sense yeah cuz it's very it's becoming very mature now cool I mean very mature I think is like you mean in like Linux terms right most games that don't have anti-cheat okay so like thanks Jake speaking of old games nothing actually I've given up on segways actually making any sense whatsoever at this point you know that part of the joke by the way shout out to Salvador thank you sorry I'm just and also not so good youtuber I that's the name that's the name I thought you were just talking to yourself no no no see okay I get so much flak for supposedly the way that I'm like abusive to my staff or whatever the kind of crap they give me you wouldn't even you wouldn't even believe it it would make your it would make your hair curl what are you working currently or for next week uh why not both okay so currently fix the teleprompter this is super boring I don't know where I put it I'm trying to fix this stupid thing that you've David broke I guess oh here it is so this teleprompter which makes our world go round has broken in two places actually so this little springy sproinging thing just popped out of there so we're gonna hard mount something in there and then the whole bracket just completely snapped off so that's what I'm spending my time doing it's fixing the progression oh it's 3d printing right now wow I'm gonna have to go wide Kent whatever you know what trust us it's 3d printing there's a there's a feet of it downstairs and then we're figuring out the new office layout which is oh yeah they're Bor yeah I was supposed to look through that with you oh yeah that looks fine okay and then there's that this is cool so this is the monster lab oh is this gonna be ready for me to do something with today or no okay you can see the zap straps on that vrm cooler oh wow very non-standard okay and that's yeah so this is a passive case that's designed to have aftermarket components installed in it instead of being just prefab like the Compu lab err top which we checked out before here that coil one yeah well that's just part of the reality of silent cases you make the fans quiet enough or take them off or take them off and you just end up hearing an electrical noise Wow electronics are loud yeah but for next week this is a really exciting thing we're gonna see how much better it is to cool a computer with a sync with your sync so we're gonna our sink into this water clean loop and see what kind of temperatures we get and if there was any doubt that he's my protege [Laughter] I don't like compare it to a standard water clean loop it's already in here yeah I think we're gonna measure how much water we're wasting okay yeah I mean I guess the results would vary based on where you live yeah and you know what what you could also you could also fine-tune it to like you could try to fine-tune the amount of water you're wasting you have a little valve and you don't always have to use it so say you start gaming you run over to the bathroom you flip the switch you're like alright I'm good to go drop my temps 10 degrees oh lordy okay is that gonna be like a vlog or is just like scripted with lots of graphs so like with me and Alex I think okay hey you're gonna have time next week alright so I guess I'm making time for that I think alex is gonna be pretty in demand cuz like are you planning to actually host anything yourself oh maybe cuz I know you've already been tapped as a sidekick for two projects from other people it's like he's a great sidekick I have to say I can work on next week like I have it's not the popular air talk you just said that and it messed me up what's the little guy desk mini the eight could that tiny eight core that's like kind of like it's it's like a PC Mac Mini it is sweet yeah it's it's pretty cool but we're also gonna compare to the Mac Mini yeah probably gonna do good I don't know the lust was kind of loud but also like this big at least they got cooled correctly I'm like you know Apple computers which they just are like yeah well they're designed to thermal throttle like right but that doesn't make it correct that just means that you did that but the Mac Mini has 10-gig which is also um yeah I know what else you got planned for next week um other thing the Alienware area 51 M arrived today oh did it finally get here yeah oh cool that thing is BA yeah I am really stoked to like well we've already taken it apart but like take it apart again yeah well you didn't get to take it no uh it's a lot of work to take apart I mean you were there yeah there's a lot of screws that looked like hell on wheels to put back together yeah Raymond said that he's not putting it back together for us this time okay so we can't just like put all the parts in a bucket and ship it back Koby so just just to like just to demonstrate to him that if we tell him he's putting it back together that he is putting it back together that would be so rude it is amazing that we have any friends left in the industry whatsoever but like how many views that video like realistically the ROI is pretty good on them putting that back together yeah exactly I mean how much is the technician who's tasked with putting it together paid anyway you know actually was it right I think so yeah okay so it was it was pretty expensive then he's kind of important over there all right then what are you working on right now so we did a tour of triumph this week so I'm kind of going through the footage and making it make sense for the editor it's like you look at this and you're like what the heck science right yep I would do that or like let's see like right here is a three hundred thousand watt power supply and over you mean yes both it's 1 mega watt 1 mega watt 1 million 1 million watts so this is one of the things that people don't realize you know back to my point about luminous what do you have like a giant writing death and stuff in order to make our videos as accurate and as good as we can we actually have a lot more processes now than we used to so now we have the writer go through and make sure that all the b-roll corresponds to the actual thing we're talking about even when we're tackling much more complex projects than we used to so for those wondering a triumph is a local particle accelerator here at the University of British Columbia so yeah they have the largest cyclotron in the world and soon to be the most powerful electron accelerator so like it's like a yearly bowling real low science stuff and it was I mean we we you know I I think I passed my 100 level chem course so you know we try but the thing is we we spent a lot of time Alex actually spent an entire day with like probably about a dozen of some of the smartest people in the country it was crazy learning about this stuff and you know trying to put it all in terms that are somewhat understandable for and then we had it all verified by them so we're hoping that's gonna be a really good video we're really excited about it yeah this one's definitely higher level than normal like I normally go for like what would you say like great 8th level like you can probably understand it this one like you probably need grade 12 physics to get it okay but try try it yeah do it click it anyway please I am blurr says can you compare the Mac Mini to the highest spec s10 plus using Samsung Dex probably not for your video on the desk Mini but that's kind of an interesting concept personally I'm not expecting it to be anything special though it's still a snapdragon or Exynos processor and yeah they're faster than last gen but it's not they're not twice as fast and finally laser James what are you working on right now Rancho oh that makes sense are we doing adaptive controller today yeah if you ever review the script with me okay cool ready cool um what do you have going on next week well we recently reviewed LG and Dells new monitors that are also 49 inch super ultra wide monitors but rather than being 1080p like this one there 1440p so we just did a video reviewing them and the next week when you're gone I'm gonna do a video about a setup that has 349 inch 32 by 9 monitors so like the ultimate surround setup kind of thing like a Hobbit's would you say 180 degrees setup what the hell kind of desk are you gonna use for that I don't know it's probably not do it in your office oh well thank you are you gonna leave it there we're gonna change the locks you go away for you go away for one week one week that's all I ask okay that sounds pretty good so actually it was one of James's recent videos that gave me the confidence to go away and expect these guys to be able to hold down the fort by themselves without me because James actually hosted what was what was it again the chemos economic it's not here yeah who knows where that is it was a it's like urgh anomic keyboard that has to split modules and you can move them as a mouse as well so James hosted it and all the indicators that we would normally look at like the communities like to dislike ratio comments retention like all that stuff actually was fine and I was like not abused though I didn't get it didn't get a ton of use but like all right honestly I was half tempted to make today's stream about some of the algorithmic changes that as far as I can tell there's really no denying that YouTube is making right now that are again like I don't like complaining back to what I said at the beginning of the stream you know by and large I consider myself lucky to have the coolest job in the universe but right now YouTube is making some algorithmic changes that are that are really hurting as far as I can tell okay I don't actually have confirmation from them they never confirm anything like that but as far as I can tell they are doing significant damage not to our new content all of our new stuff is still doing really well but to our back catalogue so we have videos that would typically do two hundred three hundred views a day just because like people would stumble across oh you know he this radiator with your gaming system and it'll heat your room you know like we did a video about that a while back and it would do like actually that one more but like hundreds of views a day and then viewership on these older videos is dropping down to half a quarter a third of what it used to be so it's it's really weird we've got some theories about why why why they're making these changes but right now it looks like we're kind of collateral damage the good news is that again all our new stuff is doing fine so we'll just see how that goes I suppose uh-oh that's so nice hold on a second who said that Ipek said your hair is looking nice today thank you it's look it is looking great thank you I think I'm about two weeks out from my haircut I'm trying a new product that Alex introduced me to so I remember I remember you telling me that no matter what under any circumstances hair gel is always the wrong answer but I got one compliment today how many did you get was that your mom no that wasn't my mom my mom doesn't watch any of our stuff also mike says that my hair looks good I mean it's all relative compared to what though so rude anyway but what dick there's a dick butt on my door what the hell oh it's like a hook why did you put this here uh okay wait are you guys guys anyone going for lunch hey where you going no Joe can't go to mucha get that mucho all right sorry guys I gotta go get that Mootoo burrito so anyway there's the there's the thank you very much for this Jake it's quite it's quite strong and hard you know it's strong and hard I think I could probably hang a jacket on it you know yeah I'm gonna well hold on first I have to jack it on so Jack it on and Jack it off nice love it All Right see you guys wish us all luck oh well I am blur the new wind jacket makes my butt look amazing but dennis is way hotter thank you I think how do I turn this off iOS iOS is a hell of a drug wow I really actually do not know how to turn this off cancel no lock the phone how do you know it won't keep going and like keep the live stream of it yeah you don't even know Reilly you're just you're just trolling Wow I I actually cannot figure out how to turn this off it doesn't have a button stop stream button where's the stop stream button close the app are you are you guys serious right now swipe up from the bottom there's a tech tip for you oh wait brain Hans brought to you by Pei a private Internet access go check it out at the link in the video description oh no this is actually really important guys if you don't have pil ready they're raising their prices on Monday so guys legitimately don't get it now it's gonna be way more expensive so go yeah it's like 10 bucks a month now Wow yeah but not yet but go go go go go anyways yes
