  • @Mel_Bat
    @Mel_Bat Před měsícem

    The computer that is just hardware in the PS 4 box reminds me of the fact that my dad's friend from uni had a TV built in a trash can. So, my dad studied in uni specialising in different kinds of engineering and a lot of students made money on the side by building TV (TV parts were quite easy to buy on the specialised hardware market near their dorms and buying individual parts and assembling them by your self was way cheaper than buying a TV in a shop). The most expensive part of TV was unexpectedly the shell, so my dad's friend built a TV for himself, because he bought extra parts in case some were faulty, but he didn't want to waste money on the shell (he was still just a broke uni student and building TVs didn't pay as much as you'd expect + there was an economical crisis at the time and food prices were astronomical), so he bought a trash can, cut out a hole for the display, put everything in and closed the lid. The TV looked unusual, but worked just fine
    Edit: Old smartphones being very small is what I miss the most about them as a person with small hands. Those were the only ones I could hold (and use) with only one hand

  • @SoooBUwU
    @SoooBUwU Před rokem +3

    3:58 i don't know how that happened, because i actually kept my Chromebook from 11th grade (about 3 years ago) and i've dropped it a lot, as well as played games with graphics that were clearly too much for it to handle, slammed it shut on multiple occasions because i have anger issues, have spilled milk on it, gotten crumbs and hair under the keys and the most damage it got was the frame around the screen is a little looser so it doesn't shut all the way and occasionally you can hear the fans grinding, but if i smack the side a little, it knocks the fans back in place (at least i think that's what happens, i mean, the grinding stops when i hit it, so i dunno).
    i mean, that looks like a Chromebook, so i dunno, maybe that one was made cheaper than mine.

    • @44R0Ndin
      @44R0Ndin Před rokem

      You know, for a moment or 5 I was interested in what Apple was doing with liquid cooling. Then I remembered it's Apple.
      Somehow, they make a business out of selling the cheapest, most proprietary and closed-source shit that is PURPOSEFULLY designed to not work with something unless it's an Apple product, at a premium price, and people just lap it up like it's water from the fountain of youth.
      I don't understand that. I have an Android tablet, and a PC that I put together myself (that is water cooled, both CPU and GPU).
      Going on 5 years later now, and they both still run just fine and still get software/security updates.
      With the PC, that's because I chose quality components all-around when building it. With the tablet, well to be honest I did buy an expensive flagship Samsung tablet, but it has a cover that's a keyboard, and a neat little pen thing (sort of like the Apple Pen) that recharges by induction charging FROM THE TABLET (so you don't have to stuff AAA's in your Apple Pen), and apparently it's supported by a lot of art programs or something, but I haven't gotten into that yet because I can't fucking afford any of them because they're all "software as a service" as a way to make more money and not because they're actually innovating.

      @44R0Ndin Před rokem

      I'm aiming to get a 4090 with my next PC (or whatever Nvidia comes out with after that, hopefully it costs the same as the 4090 or less but we both know that ain't happening).
      You know what the first thing I'm doing to it is? It's not putting it in the PC. I'm putting a waterblock on it.
      Water cooling is the only sane solution to cooling such a power hungry card. It's also great because you can put "the rest of the heatsink" SOMEWHERE ELSE that doesn't try to tear out the PCIe socket on the motherboard due simply to the weight of the GPU.
      I'll only be looking to use an active back plate if the GPU has VRAM chips on the back of it (like the 3090 did). Otherwise standard water block.

    I do love you Robin, but i'm kinda sad Lexi wasn't narrating this one. She explains the stuff, and oh boy she explains it well.
    Also yea, it's nice to have variety on who narrates which videos sometimes. Did enjoy this one but had to pause a lot to comprehend the images myself. And i don't like thinking, makes my head hurt..

      You do know that Lexi has her OWN channel, right? She covers the tech-centric subreddits a lot over there.

    I mean, technically it works. Does it function? Probably not, but it still works, just probably not as intended

    3:46 my Samsung TV has that same remote and almost ten years of use yet all the buttons still look fine, what did they do to that thing?
    Also, the adapter at 5:47 is a Micro SD to Memory Stick Pro Duo, those aren't so plentiful, and I think they've been out of production for quite a few years since they were never official.

      With the remote, I have 2 potential causes: Skin moisturizer, or hand sanitizer. Potentially both.
      You'd be surprised how deadly those two things are to a lot of kinds of plastics.
