    When you realize they could have just chained the cables still rolled up on the spools and done it on one spot instead of running around, it would have been easier, less annoying to the neighbours and more flexible in terms of actual swapping devices/testing and of course, there would be fewer variables like someone randomly driving across the cables. HOWEVER, LTT always goes the extra mile (or 150m in this case) to make us entertained!

      I feel bad for being that person, but if they're using optical cables it makes a difference if it's spooled or unspooled. A piece of optical fiber will have a higher latency and a higher loss if it is spooled up. But I doubt this would make a huge difference in that situation. In that case adding individual pieces of cables that have to convert from electrical to optical has a way bigger impact, than the length of optical fiber between the two converters.
      That's just a generalization though, it depends on the wavelength, the specific fiber and fiber mode configuration and on the power and speed of your converters. But when you have to worry about these things you're out of the, "gonna run a cable through the parking lot"-zone anyway.

    Fibre always blows my mind, a few years back I had to validate 100km capable TSOP SFPs that could do tx and Rx over a single fibre stand, it was crazy cool.

    I bought my sytem from NZXT Build, it arrived broken. Both the 3080ti and the motherboard were damaged in shipping because the USB header cable was pressed against the GPU and it tore the port on the board. They repaired it and shipped another unit in about 10 days (real days not business days). This being prior to your video.

    Oh damn, I just started working for Corning Inc, what a crazy coincidence that im seeing them come up on my favorite studio's videos

    I hope they realize they could’ve used all the spools in the same building for testing purposes.

      Yea they didn't have to move at all, could have just plugged them all inside

      They did it, so they could show new office space

      Yeah but that wouldn’t make as good of a CZcams video

      i'm sure they did. it just wouldn't have made for good content. Showmanship.

    I wanted to make a game where I take a shot every time Linus drops something. But I wanna avoid a alcohol coma.

    Just a thought, they could have coiled the wire in one place of any length and tested it without having to go anywhere.

    I wanna see the network solution between the two buildings, namely putting a couple dishes up and sending it wireless.
    Why pay for two leased lines?

    • @straphyr
      @straphyr Před 2 lety +2

      Do both. And have bidirectional dishes on both. Then have redundancy. That'd be my plan anyway. They're starting up a tech lab thing, why tf would they want to deal with potential outages due to weather or other avoidable issues? The cost of another fiber line likely pales in comparison to their expected labor costs for the new hires.

      As long as they have line of sight, that feels like an easy Ubiquiti sponsorship opportunity right there

    I really love the colour changing jacket. We need more of that

  • @yaseen157
    @yaseen157 Před 2 lety

    I love that they didn't have to actually travel that distance. They could have laid that wire out in a room, but this is true commitment!

  • @nermanus
    @nermanus Před 2 lety +20

    When they tried to connect that GPU in such an ungodly manner, they made the multiverse collide and that's why the jacket color changed, those were actually multiple Colins.
