00:00:24.500 --> 00:00:32.660 I I I I listened back and I had a lot of people say that your little jazz interludes and everything were 00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:33.200 Yeah. 00:00:33.760 --> 00:00:35.440 Like chef's kiss. 00:00:35.440 --> 00:00:38.239 So really, really nice job with that buddy. 00:00:38.239 --> 00:00:40.320 You did a hell of a job given the circumstances. 00:00:40.480 --> 00:00:40.960 Thank you. 00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:42.079 Thank you so much. 00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:48.920 Yeah, that uh so yeah that edit was uh something else, I'll tell you that. 00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:50.680 Uh yeah. 00:00:50.680 --> 00:00:51.559 Yeah, yeah. 00:00:51.559 --> 00:00:56.760 So I mean usually I have a routine, like you know, we record on Thursdays most nights. 00:00:56.100 --> 00:00:59.300 And I usually edit the podcast like Sunday morning. 00:00:59.300 --> 00:01:02.660 I get up, I, you know, make my coffee, and I sit down. 00:01:02.660 --> 00:01:07.540 And that was this is the first episode where I had to like take a break. 00:01:09.720 --> 00:01:10.200 Okay. 00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:10.600 Okay. 00:01:10.600 --> 00:01:10.840 Okay. 00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:16.360 Usually I know what I have, right? 00:01:16.360 --> 00:01:18.280 Like the episode, everything's there. 00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:19.560 It's it's fine. 00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:22.520 Uh, you know, the I know what the audio quad is gonna be like 00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:30.080 So I had to sit down and like I had like just so many clips and I'm like, okay, what what the hell do I have and what can I use? 00:01:30.820 --> 00:01:35.300 And then I st I pulled together like uh like I w I I thought about it. 00:01:35.300 --> 00:01:37.380 I'm like, okay, I think I know what I'm gonna do. 00:01:37.380 --> 00:01:42.420 I'm just gonna do like honestly what I thought of was if you ever watch Shut Up and Sit Down 00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.600 And they have like an oopsie and they'd be like detectively difficult. 00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:51.920 For some reason like that came into my head, like, okay, I need I need like a little breaker in between these things. 00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:53.280 So I had to find some like open stuff. 00:01:54.880 --> 00:01:55.600 It was perfect. 00:01:55.600 --> 00:01:57.200 It was it was it was perfect. 00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:58.479 Everything about it was perfect. 00:01:58.479 --> 00:01:59.600 You did a great job. 00:01:59.600 --> 00:02:04.960 I mean I we I think we both knew that it was gonna be hell for you to piece that together, but 00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:08.160 Given the circumstances, dude, you you absolutely crushed it. 00:02:08.160 --> 00:02:10.960 So tell everybody what we're using here. 00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:13.840 We're using a website called Riverside. 00:02:14.020 --> 00:02:14.340 Okay. 00:02:14.340 --> 00:02:15.780 Now how did you find this? 00:02:15.780 --> 00:02:21.379 So I started doing some research after Lip Sin shit the bed about like what other 00:02:21.820 --> 00:02:30.380 uh applic what other like tools are like this browser-based like recording and riverside just kept coming up over and over again is is really good. 00:02:30.380 --> 00:02:32.780 You can tell it's really good because it's black. 00:02:32.660 --> 00:02:37.140 Uh the w the website is it's you know it's bit it's all dark mode all the time. 00:02:37.140 --> 00:02:39.780 Uh and they had like a Black Friday sale. 00:02:39.780 --> 00:02:42.980 I'm still we're still on a trial of the pro version. 00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:44.680 Uh and I'm like, you know what, just screw it. 00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:47.160 Like if it doesn't work, then I'm not on anything. 00:02:47.160 --> 00:02:48.840 And if it does work, yeah. 00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:53.800 And plus also apparently uh the more we record, the more it trains their AI on our voices. 00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:58.200 speak as us and say silly things. 00:02:58.200 --> 00:03:00.200 So I'm looking forward to that. 00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:02.920 Hmm. 00:03:02.920 --> 00:03:04.440 I don't know how I feel about that. 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:09.040 Okay, but I mean how I mean like we're okay, fine. 00:03:09.040 --> 00:03:12.000 That's this the it's the future we it's the future we got. 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:13.760 Yep, exactly. 00:03:13.760 --> 00:03:15.440 Oh right. 00:03:15.440 --> 00:03:18.160 So uh given that um 00:03:19.020 --> 00:03:21.900 I didn't look at the doc until today. 00:03:21.900 --> 00:03:22.540 Okay. 00:03:23.099 --> 00:03:25.900 So tell me what this follow-up is. 00:03:25.900 --> 00:03:26.540 Okay. 00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:28.840 So obviously last week we talked about terminal. 00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:29.879 So I got I got it right here. 00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:30.599 I got it. 00:03:31.959 --> 00:03:34.200 Oh wow, that's way smaller than I realized. 00:03:34.200 --> 00:03:34.760 Yeah. 00:03:34.480 --> 00:03:34.720 Yeah. 00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:38.879 For those of you who don't know, Riverside also does video, so apparently I'm also recording video for this. 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:44.480 I don't know what I'm gonna do with it, but we can see each other, which is probably bad for an audio podcast, but here it is. 00:03:44.480 --> 00:03:44.640 Uh 00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:55.360 So we talked about that, and I got I got an email from uh Ryan at Terminal. 00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:58.560 He at looking on their website, he's their founder. 00:03:58.560 --> 00:03:58.880 Um 00:03:59.720 --> 00:04:02.760 And he said, like, hey Paul, I'm Ryan from Terminal. 00:04:02.760 --> 00:04:03.799 The Terminal team. 00:04:03.799 --> 00:04:07.560 Someone linked me your episode, which I enjoyed listening to. 00:04:08.040 --> 00:04:11.879 The worst possible episode to start listening to, by the way. 00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:12.680 Yeah. 00:04:14.060 --> 00:04:22.060 And basically he said like, hey, like the summary is like, hey, like, I'm glad you did that thing, but like we made a better version. 00:04:23.380 --> 00:04:24.740 Oh get cucked, fucker. 00:04:25.060 --> 00:04:26.020 Yeah, I did. 00:04:26.420 --> 00:04:31.380 Like they uh they have they have an uh I'll put I'll put a a link in the show notes here. 00:04:31.380 --> 00:04:32.020 Uh 00:04:32.340 --> 00:04:33.780 So they're like their documentation. 00:04:33.780 --> 00:04:34.660 They have an app. 00:04:34.660 --> 00:04:37.780 It's in uh still in test flight. 00:04:37.780 --> 00:04:44.020 But I joined the test flight, downloaded it, and it's called like curminal calendar sync. 00:04:44.039 --> 00:04:44.599 I think it's a good one. 00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:46.520 Terminal companion for iOS. 00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:47.560 Yeah, yeah, that's what it is. 00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:48.120 Yeah. 00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:52.280 And uh I use I I downloaded and I gave it a try. 00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:57.240 And I switched over and I'm using that instead of my my stupid little thing now. 00:04:57.880 --> 00:05:00.600 I emailed back and said, like, hey, like, thanks for listening. 00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:01.480 I appreciate it. 00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:02.600 The app works great. 00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:03.560 I'm using it. 00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:04.600 Ta-da. 00:05:05.100 --> 00:05:07.580 So that's the second time we've talked about a product on here. 00:05:07.580 --> 00:05:07.900 Yes. 00:05:07.900 --> 00:05:11.820 Now it's been a few years, but we talked about that calculator and they reached out to us. 00:05:11.820 --> 00:05:12.380 Yes. 00:05:12.380 --> 00:05:16.460 And then uh somehow through their scouring of 00:05:16.740 --> 00:05:19.700 I would I assume is just like press, right? 00:05:19.700 --> 00:05:21.780 Just looking for any mention of what they have. 00:05:22.180 --> 00:05:24.580 Someone's got a Google alert set up, I'm sure. 00:05:24.580 --> 00:05:25.380 Yeah, something. 00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.000 He didn't offer you anything for free though, huh? 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:30.880 No, no, no. 00:05:31.760 --> 00:05:32.720 No lame. 00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:34.960 No, but what are you gonna do? 00:05:34.960 --> 00:05:35.280 Okay 00:05:35.840 --> 00:05:37.840 Uh I'll tell you what you're gonna do. 00:05:37.840 --> 00:05:39.120 You're gonna stop using terminal. 00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:42.320 You're gonna say, you didn't give me anything for free, Ryan from Terminal. 00:05:42.320 --> 00:05:44.400 Yeah, dickhead. 00:05:44.420 --> 00:05:44.820 Oh. 00:05:45.060 --> 00:05:48.660 Yeah, so that thing's actually kind flush that back up on the screen again. 00:05:48.980 --> 00:05:50.980 That's way smaller than I realized. 00:05:50.980 --> 00:05:52.740 It's kind of cute though. 00:05:52.340 --> 00:05:52.900 Mm-hmm. 00:05:52.900 --> 00:05:53.380 Yeah. 00:05:54.020 --> 00:05:55.700 Approximately one pole wide. 00:05:55.700 --> 00:05:56.820 Yeah, it is, exactly. 00:05:56.820 --> 00:05:57.140 Yeah. 00:05:58.340 --> 00:06:00.420 One point two five paw foreheads. 00:06:01.060 --> 00:06:01.860 Okay. 00:06:03.300 --> 00:06:04.340 Okay. 00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.720 Uh now this next one, I'm completely perplexed. 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:08.960 I don't know why on the earth you need this. 00:06:09.200 --> 00:06:14.480 Okay, so if you don't know, USB C is a hellscape. 00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:19.840 Uh you have no idea what you're in for with my topic. 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:21.599 So so 00:06:23.380 --> 00:06:29.699 The USB-C connector supports so many different things, right? 00:06:29.699 --> 00:06:32.259 There's USB-C power delivery, which is 00:06:32.620 --> 00:06:36.460 technically USB two speeds, but like fast charging. 00:06:36.460 --> 00:06:47.259 There's USB like three, there's USB four, five, all different like like your cable could have different capacities for charging, for data transfer. 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:48.560 And I've been looking so there's this little device. 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:50.960 I have a previous version of this. 00:06:50.960 --> 00:06:54.080 Yeah, yeah, I was gonna say like my my synapse just started firing there. 00:06:54.080 --> 00:06:55.919 Like you bought like a circuit board. 00:06:55.660 --> 00:06:56.460 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:06:56.540 --> 00:06:56.780 Right. 00:06:57.580 --> 00:07:00.700 So this is basically the next iteration of the device. 00:07:01.500 --> 00:07:02.140 It's got a screen. 00:07:02.140 --> 00:07:02.780 Yeah, it's got a screen. 00:07:02.940 --> 00:07:04.620 I'm gonna plug I'm gonna show I'm gonna show it to you here. 00:07:04.620 --> 00:07:06.620 So it's uh it's got a little screen. 00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:07.800 It's hard it's kind of hard to see. 00:07:08.200 --> 00:07:09.320 It's not a very good screen. 00:07:09.320 --> 00:07:09.720 Yeah. 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:15.640 But you you you power it with the USB and then and then you plug in hold on I I'm not prepared for 00:07:15.780 --> 00:07:17.460 I was I wasn't prepared for video. 00:07:17.460 --> 00:07:19.060 I have another USB cable here. 00:07:19.060 --> 00:07:20.180 So you see this one right here? 00:07:20.420 --> 00:07:21.620 It's a nice braided cable. 00:07:22.980 --> 00:07:24.740 And and you take this thing. 00:07:24.740 --> 00:07:28.580 It's called the BLE Caber Q. 00:07:28.500 --> 00:07:31.220 They need a marketing department that name's horrible. 00:07:31.220 --> 00:07:32.340 Blacker Q. 00:07:32.340 --> 00:07:34.820 Blacker Bla Bla Blacker Blacker Q. 00:07:34.820 --> 00:07:36.820 Yep, and then you plug. 00:07:36.840 --> 00:07:44.360 the USB C cable into each end and then it does some testing, it's measuring, and then it tells you exactly 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:48.320 Well this one that that's obviously wrong is the charging power zero watts. 00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:49.520 It's not perfect. 00:07:49.520 --> 00:07:50.720 It's not perfect. 00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:53.440 For 106 euros? 00:07:53.440 --> 00:07:54.560 Yeah, yeah. 00:07:55.039 --> 00:08:00.159 Uh yeah, so it supports 40 gigabit data transfer speeds and it shows you right there on the little thing. 00:08:00.159 --> 00:08:05.120 And you can go through and see like exactly what pins it supports and all the different like protocols. 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:08.080 Like this is this is a USB-C4 cable. 00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:10.240 Uh it also supports alternate mode. 00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:11.120 I'm not sure what that is. 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:12.240 There's a book. 00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:16.320 And so yeah, you plug a USB-C cable and it tells you exactly what to expect from it. 00:08:16.320 --> 00:08:22.960 So whether it's a high capacity data cable, whether it's like uh used for like fast charging. 00:08:22.420 --> 00:08:26.740 And it's pretty you can find these on uh Amazon every once in a while. 00:08:26.900 --> 00:08:28.900 They have a store there, but they kind of sell out. 00:08:28.900 --> 00:08:31.860 And I got I actually got this on sale. 00:08:31.860 --> 00:08:32.500 Uh 00:08:33.479 --> 00:08:35.000 Yeah, and it's just a cute little thing. 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.479 It's a little, it's a I think it's handmade. 00:08:37.479 --> 00:08:39.240 Uh yeah, and it's just cute. 00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:42.840 You you could you could, you know, test your test your USB-C cables. 00:08:44.300 --> 00:08:49.500 If you're worried about you if you're using the right cable for the right thing like me, it's a great it's a great investment. 00:08:49.500 --> 00:08:52.620 Oops, I'm just knocking shit off my desk now. 00:08:52.620 --> 00:08:54.140 Yeah, yeah. 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:54.960 See? 00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:56.640 We're cute. 00:08:56.640 --> 00:08:57.200 It's cute. 00:08:57.680 --> 00:09:01.600 We're pretty tolerant about how we spend our money and we don't judge. 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:03.920 We we listen and we understand. 00:09:04.740 --> 00:09:07.779 You really needed this to test your USB-C cables. 00:09:07.779 --> 00:09:08.660 Yeah, I did. 00:09:08.660 --> 00:09:09.860 Really needed this, Paul. 00:09:09.860 --> 00:09:10.740 You already had one. 00:09:11.699 --> 00:09:14.339 But this one, this one comes with a cute little case. 00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:19.880 Now how often will you be taking it out of that case now that you've tested your cables? 00:09:19.880 --> 00:09:24.120 Um whenever I get a new cable or I forget. 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:27.400 So Drew Drew Drew, you do not understand. 00:09:27.400 --> 00:09:36.280 Uh I have so one of the things I did like uh probably a couple months ago, you can't see it, it's off camera here, but I have this big white dresser back here. 00:09:36.280 --> 00:09:37.960 It's at four drawers. 00:09:37.860 --> 00:09:41.380 And it was just full of absolute sh like shame. 00:09:41.620 --> 00:09:42.420 The longest thing. 00:09:42.660 --> 00:09:44.100 Yeah, that's that's over there. 00:09:44.100 --> 00:09:45.220 That's over there on my shelf. 00:09:45.220 --> 00:09:45.540 Yeah. 00:09:45.540 --> 00:09:46.100 Okay. 00:09:46.100 --> 00:09:50.580 So I bought some like plastic plastic totes. 00:09:50.259 --> 00:09:59.620 And I took everything out of there and I I sorted everything out and I m made the decision like how many VGA cables does Paul need? 00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:01.600 Uh the answer is zero. 00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:02.880 Zero. 00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:05.040 But I had like four or five. 00:10:05.040 --> 00:10:05.759 Hmm. 00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:12.480 I went through and I threw everything away and I sorted everything. 00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:19.160 So like I have like I have like a bin of like USB-C cables, like a one with like lightning and like other chargers. 00:10:19.160 --> 00:10:22.200 And what I have I have different color t cable ties. 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:32.200 And I went through and based off of what type of USB-C cable it is, I put a different cable tie on it. 00:10:32.640 --> 00:10:35.120 Paul, we are not young men. 00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.520 We're not we're not young men. 00:10:37.520 --> 00:10:45.280 Did you leave documentation for your for your spouse if you pass away with with a different cow or cable ties mean? 00:10:45.560 --> 00:10:46.040 No. 00:10:46.040 --> 00:10:46.280 Okay. 00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:50.680 We're we're we're approaching an age where we might want to start thinking about that. 00:10:51.880 --> 00:10:53.480 I'll be dead, that's her problem. 00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:54.920 She's just gonna take it all and throw it away. 00:10:54.920 --> 00:10:55.400 I don't need to do that. 00:10:55.560 --> 00:10:56.680 Yeah, she's just she's just gonna plug it. 00:10:56.680 --> 00:10:58.760 She's just gonna plug it all in and it's fine 00:10:58.280 --> 00:10:58.840 Mm-hmm. 00:10:58.840 --> 00:10:59.480 Okay. 00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:02.120 Uh so did you get a screen protector? 00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:03.720 I see there's all kinds of options here. 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:09.640 Yeah, I bought the one with the kit with camps with the screen protector and the case and like a a cable and stuff. 00:11:09.640 --> 00:11:13.160 So yeah, yeah, I bought I bought the I bought the fancy one. 00:11:12.940 --> 00:11:13.580 Uh for sure. 00:11:13.820 --> 00:11:14.460 Of course for sure. 00:11:14.940 --> 00:11:15.820 Of course I did. 00:11:15.820 --> 00:11:21.660 I believe that's bec mostly because I wanted to buy it off Amazon because like I didn't want to ship it from overseas. 00:11:21.660 --> 00:11:24.300 And uh it was the only one they had in stock at the time. 00:11:24.300 --> 00:11:24.620 So 00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:25.959 I gotcha. 00:11:25.959 --> 00:11:26.759 I gotcha. 00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:39.399 This is um but it's nice if you're if you're anal like if you're broken in a particular way that I am broken and you really care about your USB-C cables, it's a great investment. 00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:43.080 It's got and and it's got a little app you connect with via Bluetooth. 00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:45.080 Uh of course. 00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:45.720 Yeah. 00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:46.840 Of course it does. 00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:48.840 Oh, I can't hear you anymore. 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:49.880 Wait, what? 00:11:49.880 --> 00:11:50.280 Uh-oh. 00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:51.480 Nope. 00:11:52.520 --> 00:11:56.840 Uh it's lighting up on my screen. 00:11:56.840 -->

We're back in business. 00:14:08.740 --> 00:14:09.620 We're back in business. 00:14:09.620 --> 00:14:10.420 What was it? 00:14:10.420 --> 00:14:12.260 I have no idea. 00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:15.240 Yeah, I mean my so my little background was lighting up. 00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:19.399 Um it wouldn't let me change input sources while we're recording, which was interesting. 00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:19.880 Yeah. 00:14:19.880 --> 00:14:23.000 But uh You actually sound a lot better now. 00:14:22.920 --> 00:14:24.199 Uh and I think I know why. 00:14:24.199 --> 00:14:26.120 I think it was using

00:14:35.160 You think we can get our shit together? 00:14:35.160 --> 00:14:35.480 Oh 00:14:36.339 --> 00:14:36.740 All right. 00:14:36.740 --> 00:14:37.139 Perfect. 00:14:37.139 --> 00:14:40.339 Well, okay, good for you on your new toy. 00:14:40.339 --> 00:14:41.300 Yeah, yeah. 00:14:41.300 --> 00:14:41.699 All right. 00:14:41.699 --> 00:14:42.180 Here we go. 00:14:42.339 --> 00:14:43.139 Are we ready? 00:14:43.139 --> 00:14:44.819 Are we ready to take a trip? 00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:50.000 I feel like this segment also needs a a jingle, but you know. 00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:52.800 I I'm I I'm not I I don't hate it. 00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:53.880 I don't hate that idea. 00:14:53.880 --> 00:14:54.680 Okay, there we go. 00:14:54.680 --> 00:14:56.839 I'm gonna I'm gonna make AI make us a jingle. 00:14:56.839 --> 00:14:58.279 That's what I'm gonna do. 00:14:59.319 --> 00:15:04.839 Well, it's funny you mention AI because Drew's Computer Corner today is all about AI. 00:15:04.839 --> 00:15:07.240 Oh, fancy. 00:15:06.660 --> 00:15:19.220 So uh a couple episodes ago I talked about that KVM switch that I got for connecting to I could I could connect to my remote Linux machine, which I basically have 00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:22.920 you know, cannibalized every extra PC in my house. 00:15:22.920 --> 00:15:27.960 And I I basically built a Linux development machine. 00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:33.880 Um because one thing that I have discovered is that if you want to do any sort of generative AI locally 00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:37.840 You need Linux. 00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:38.400 Okay. 00:15:38.400 --> 00:15:39.520 You j you just need Linux. 00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:41.200 Why is that? 00:15:41.280 --> 00:15:48.960 Well, because a lot of like the Python libraries are natively compiled for Python and Linux versus Windows. 00:15:48.940 --> 00:15:52.140 Getting shit to Windows requires a lot of workarounds. 00:15:52.140 --> 00:15:54.220 It's it's just it's not great. 00:15:54.220 --> 00:15:57.180 Like I had it working on my Windows machine, but I was just like 00:15:57.640 --> 00:16:06.760 I was hitting some weird bugs and I spent a lot of time on like GitHub issues and reading about other people that had the problems and they're like, yeah, it's because you're using like this. 00:16:06.920 --> 00:16:11.560 Windows version versus the Linux version of this, like libgcc, etc. 00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:12.279 etc. 00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:15.240 So I just said fuck it, like I have extra stuff here. 00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:15.480 So 00:16:15.839 --> 00:16:22.959 You know, I threw Ubuntu on first and then I eventually went to Fedora for for reasons, because it's more close to Red Hat 00:16:23.740 --> 00:16:33.260 And then once you get like the NVIDIA drivers installed and everything, which interestingly enough, like they installed automatically on Ubuntu, but Fedora was a little bit more time in the console. 00:16:33.680 --> 00:16:35.040 But everything works. 00:16:35.040 --> 00:16:42.560 Like every workflow that I download for comfy UI, every model I download, everything just works better in Linux. 00:16:42.560 --> 00:16:42.720 And 00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:45.720 And hey, I'm not opposed to that. 00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:49.240 I mean, uh, a desktop Linux experience is not terrible. 00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:53.880 I've really become fond of the KDE plasma experience. 00:16:54.640 --> 00:17:04.160 But having said all that, um the KVM switch is good, but honestly, I need more native access to the computer. 00:17:04.180 --> 00:17:11.459 And what I don't want is I don't necessarily want to clutter up my office with multiple PC towers. 00:17:11.459 --> 00:17:13.940 So I made a decision. 00:17:13.740 --> 00:17:14.380 Mm-hmm. 00:17:14.380 --> 00:17:22.699 And the decision was to buy a rack and rack mount cases for my computers. 00:17:23.179 --> 00:17:24.380 Okay. 00:17:24.459 --> 00:17:25.100 Okay. 00:17:25.100 --> 00:17:25.980 Okay. 00:17:25.980 --> 00:17:29.419 Now this is a story in two parts. 00:17:29.419 --> 00:17:37.100 So I did a little research and essentially they make ATX compatible rack mount cases. 00:17:38.100 --> 00:17:39.780 I yeah, I agree. 00:17:39.860 --> 00:17:40.900 How many use are those? 00:17:40.900 --> 00:17:44.180 Because ATX power supplies are pretty pretty chonky. 00:17:44.180 --> 00:17:45.860 Well, I'm I'm glad you asked. 00:17:45.860 --> 00:17:47.060 So the one that I bought 00:17:47.620 --> 00:17:48.820 First. 00:17:49.940 --> 00:17:50.980 Here we go. 00:17:50.980 --> 00:17:52.100 Yeah, the one. 00:17:52.100 --> 00:17:53.940 Why can't I type in the Google Doc? 00:17:53.940 --> 00:17:54.660 What is happening? 00:17:54.660 --> 00:17:57.540 Yeah, the Google Doc's also acting weird for me. 00:17:57.540 --> 00:17:59.220 Okay, we're just gonna reload this page. 00:17:59.220 --> 00:17:59.700 Hold on. 00:17:59.700 --> 00:18:00.020 Yeah. 00:18:00.020 --> 00:18:00.660 Yeah 00:18:01.179 --> 00:18:02.460 Okay, there we go. 00:18:02.460 --> 00:18:03.419 Oh, nope. 00:18:03.419 --> 00:18:03.659 Nope. 00:18:03.740 --> 00:18:04.139 Nope. 00:18:04.139 --> 00:18:06.380 I can't I see your cursor. 00:18:06.380 --> 00:18:08.620 It won't let me I see your cursor. 00:18:08.620 --> 00:18:09.019 Mm-hmm. 00:18:10.380 --> 00:18:12.140 Oh, my cursor's there. 00:18:12.140 --> 00:18:13.340 What the fuck? 00:18:13.340 --> 00:18:14.380 Okay. 00:18:14.460 --> 00:18:15.900 We're good at this to everybody. 00:18:15.900 --> 00:18:16.940 We're really good at this, I promise. 00:18:17.180 --> 00:18:20.380 We're yeah, Drew's computer corner is somehow above 00:18:20.460 --> 00:18:21.420 your set idle. 00:18:21.580 --> 00:18:22.460 It got it got moved. 00:18:22.460 --> 00:18:22.940 It's okay. 00:18:22.940 --> 00:18:23.340 It's okay. 00:18:23.340 --> 00:18:23.580 Okay. 00:18:23.580 --> 00:18:24.060 Here we go. 00:18:24.060 --> 00:18:25.660 So originally I bought this. 00:18:25.660 --> 00:18:25.980 Okay. 00:18:25.980 --> 00:18:27.820 It's a power spec uh 00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:31.000 360 millimeter radiator. 00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:31.720 For you. 00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:34.519 4U chassis. 00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:41.320 Those of you who don't know, basically, 4U, the the U is like how tall it is and how many 00:18:41.460 --> 00:18:52.660 slots in the rack effectively it uses big yeah so so think about this though imagine that you have a modern ATX case and you tilt it ninety degrees 00:18:53.100 --> 00:18:55.419 It has to be that big, right? 00:18:55.419 --> 00:19:02.059 Because you have GPUs and power supplies and in my case radiators for liquid coolers. 00:19:02.059 --> 00:19:07.179 Now the premise here, and on the Micro Center website, you can't see it very well, but 00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:14.399 Essentially, when you crack this thing open, there's like a bracket in there that can hold a 360 mil radiator. 00:19:14.399 --> 00:19:18.960 And then, you know, you just basically throw the motherboard in there and throw everything in. 00:19:19.540 --> 00:19:24.260 The problem was my graphics card was too big for this. 00:19:24.260 --> 00:19:25.700 It's too tall. 00:19:25.700 --> 00:19:27.940 For you is not tall enough. 00:19:27.940 --> 00:19:29.620 It's too tall. 00:19:29.840 --> 00:19:30.799 Yeah, four. 00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:35.840 I had to go to a bigger five U case for this. 00:19:35.840 --> 00:19:37.440 Oh my goodness. 00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:38.720 So this is the one. 00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:41.120 That's like a quarter of a rat. 00:19:41.080 --> 00:19:42.120 Uh yeah. 00:19:42.120 --> 00:19:45.720 So this so this is the one that I that I wound up with. 00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:45.880 Okay. 00:19:46.039 --> 00:19:49.080 The Silverstone RM fifty two. 00:19:48.940 --> 00:19:50.380 Okay, RM52. 00:19:50.620 --> 00:19:55.260 Now on the Silverstone website there are far more pictures of this thing. 00:19:55.260 --> 00:19:55.820 Okay. 00:19:56.299 --> 00:19:59.500 But you can see that it's pretty substantial. 00:19:59.500 --> 00:20:00.460 It's big. 00:20:00.460 --> 00:20:01.820 It's pretty fucking big. 00:20:01.820 --> 00:20:03.659 But it's not heavy. 00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:04.840 Because it's kind of empty space. 00:20:04.840 --> 00:20:13.640 And what's interesting about it is again, it also has a bracket to hold up to a 360 millimeter radiator for and like an all-in-one cooler or whatever. 00:20:13.660 --> 00:20:22.300 It's got hardware in it for like stabilizing GPUs because the nice thing about this case is that you can use it as a tower or you can use it as a rack mount. 00:20:22.060 --> 00:20:29.660 The unfortunate thing is, is that, you know, because it's Silverstone, it has proprietary rails that I had to buy and all this other stuff. 00:20:29.660 --> 00:20:34.060 And I went on Amazon and I basically bought a 12U rack that is 00:20:34.260 --> 00:20:39.299 Strangely enough, the exact same height that I have my desk set to right now. 00:20:39.299 --> 00:20:40.020 Okay. 00:20:40.020 --> 00:20:41.860 And I racked the servers up. 00:20:41.860 --> 00:20:43.460 I threw a shelf. 00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:45.480 Uh with the two remaining slots. 00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:47.400 You already had a rack though, right? 00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:49.480 Well, I had a rack for my networking gear. 00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:50.200 Okay. 00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:55.400 But but here's the thing though, and and I and I'm glad that I did a little research on this because 00:20:55.940 --> 00:21:04.100 When you go out to like Amazon and you search for rack mount, a lot of that stuff is designed for networking equipment and like audio equipment. 00:21:04.659 --> 00:21:08.100 A lot of them aren't deep enough for server racks. 00:21:09.700 --> 00:21:13.380 Because the rails, the rails have like a minimum distance. 00:21:13.380 --> 00:21:17.860 And a lot of them, they need to be like 24, 25 inches deep or more. 00:21:17.860 --> 00:21:21.380 A lot of those little racks on Amazon are like 20 inches deep. 00:21:21.980 --> 00:21:22.380 Okay. 00:21:22.700 --> 00:21:30.300 So like when like I was just gonna buy the same rack that I already had, but I took my rails back to it and I'm like, why can't this doesn't work? 00:21:30.300 --> 00:21:32.940 Like I can't make the rails go small enough. 00:21:32.840 --> 00:21:37.000 Like they I because like they they expand and contract to meet different depths, right? 00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:39.880 But the minimum the minimum depth was wasn't enough. 00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:42.840 So I had to find one that was like compatible. 00:21:43.300 --> 00:21:50.100 And honestly, I'm really disappointed in the one that I chose because it's level, but 00:21:50.660 --> 00:21:58.740 when stuff is mounted in it, like the the pillars are not the pillars are not pair are not perpendicular to the ground, but it's somehow level. 00:21:59.120 --> 00:22:00.320 I have no idea. 00:22:00.320 --> 00:22:01.280 I have no idea. 00:22:01.280 --> 00:22:04.080 It pisses me off every time I look at the front of this thing. 00:22:04.080 --> 00:22:07.520 I'm probably gonna end up buying another rack, which these things are not cheap. 00:22:07.520 --> 00:22:09.440 They're two, three hundred dollars a pop. 00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:14.080 And I and I want one and I want one with wheels because I have to have it. 00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:17.679 But that's that's what I ended up doing 00:22:17.540 --> 00:22:23.620 What so where where are you gonna you get to take your rack on a walk or like why is that cap wheel? 00:22:24.180 --> 00:22:28.900 Well if I have to move it to clean behind it or for cable management, right? 00:22:29.260 --> 00:22:39.419 Because the rack itself is pretty heavy, and once you throw two servers in there, like I mean, I'm a strong boy, but I'm not gonna slide this thing across my carpet. 00:22:39.360 --> 00:22:39.679 Okay. 00:22:39.679 --> 00:22:43.760 So I'll pay a little extra for for the luxury of having some wheels on it. 00:22:43.760 --> 00:22:44.159 Okay. 00:22:44.159 --> 00:22:46.240 But uh I mean maybe I will take it for a walk. 00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:47.600 You don't you're not my dad. 00:22:47.840 --> 00:22:49.440 You're I am not, you were correct. 00:22:49.840 --> 00:22:50.639 Yeah. 00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:53.200 So so that's that's what I ended up doing. 00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:56.480 And I gotta say, it's pretty good. 00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:00.160 Like I have basically the the so 00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:07.799 I I have my old PC thrown into one of these cases and I have my Linux machine thrown into one of these cases. 00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:15.159 And essentially, you know, I have a wireless keyboard and wireless mouse that I pull out, just like I do for the for the Mac. 00:23:15.040 --> 00:23:17.040 when I want to use those things. 00:23:17.040 --> 00:23:22.400 And my current workflow is I just changed the input on my monitor. 00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:22.880 Okay. 00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:26.320 Now that worked for about a day. 00:23:27.620 --> 00:23:31.540 But I have new problems. 00:23:31.540 --> 00:23:32.260 Okay. 00:23:32.740 --> 00:23:34.900 You're making fun of me for buying a USB-C tabletop. 00:23:35.060 --> 00:23:35.540 Just shut up. 00:23:35.700 --> 00:23:36.020 Shut up. 00:23:36.180 --> 00:23:37.140 Shut up. 00:23:37.179 --> 00:23:45.100 So the problem number one is my my Windows PC is in the bottom of the rack. 00:23:45.900 --> 00:23:51.419 And things like my webcam, the cord won't reach the USB-C port. 00:23:51.419 --> 00:23:51.980 Yes. 00:23:51.980 --> 00:23:52.700 Yeah. 00:23:52.700 --> 00:23:56.220 So I decided to go buy a USB-C hub. 00:23:56.220 --> 00:23:57.179 Okay. 00:23:57.940 --> 00:24:03.940 Now, when I bought the U, I I went on, I was like, listen, I don't need something fancy. 00:24:03.940 --> 00:24:04.820 Okay. 00:24:04.820 --> 00:24:11.460 So what I did is I went out to Amazon and I bought the P9, which I can't click on that link. 00:24:10.840 --> 00:24:11.799 I don't know why. 00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:13.160 I'm searching for it, yeah. 00:24:13.160 --> 00:24:15.640 Yeah, P nine USB C hub. 00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:16.440 Okay. 00:24:16.440 --> 00:24:18.520 I had something similar to this before 00:24:18.300 --> 00:24:18.700 Yeah. 00:24:18.700 --> 00:24:19.100 Yeah. 00:24:19.100 --> 00:24:29.980 And and and and you think you look at that and you're like, wow, okay, it's got a USB-C cable that I plug into my computer, it goes to this thing, and then I can plug in like my webcam or 00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:30.720 Yeah. 00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:37.360 You know, other stuff that isn't gonna reach the because just given the the new lifestyle that I'm in here. 00:24:37.360 --> 00:24:39.600 That thing already got returned. 00:24:39.519 --> 00:24:40.000 Okay. 00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:40.639 No good. 00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:49.360 Because well, the cable, like the USB-C cable that plugs into the computer is only like a foot long. 00:24:51.220 --> 00:24:52.740 That doesn't solve my problem. 00:24:52.740 --> 00:24:53.059 Yeah. 00:24:53.140 --> 00:24:54.100 Doesn't solve my problem. 00:24:54.419 --> 00:24:57.780 And it's not and it's not like I can't unplug it and plug in a different one. 00:24:57.780 --> 00:24:59.140 It's like tied to it. 00:24:59.140 --> 00:25:00.500 So I'm like, yeah, okay. 00:25:00.820 --> 00:25:02.179 All integrated. 00:25:01.860 --> 00:25:04.419 Yeah, so I was like, I was like, good try. 00:25:04.419 --> 00:25:05.860 That's not gonna work for me. 00:25:05.860 --> 00:25:10.500 So I went the nuclear option and I bought the Anchor Prime docking station. 00:25:10.580 --> 00:25:11.299 Nice. 00:25:11.299 --> 00:25:11.779 Nice. 00:25:11.779 --> 00:25:12.179 Yeah. 00:25:12.179 --> 00:25:13.460 This thing, this thing, okay. 00:25:13.460 --> 00:25:15.220 So I wanna I wanna talk about this thing. 00:25:16.140 --> 00:25:21.740 Uh yes it's it's costly compared to the other one. 00:25:22.060 --> 00:25:26.380 I mean I'm you I'm currently using a Thunderbolt dock that costs 00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:30.880 Not quite twice that, but more. 00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:31.280 Yeah. 00:25:31.280 --> 00:25:32.320 So I get it. 00:25:32.320 --> 00:25:34.320 Now now this isn't Thunderbolt. 00:25:34.320 --> 00:25:36.240 It's just regular USB-C. 00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:37.120 Yeah. 00:25:36.919 --> 00:25:37.559 Right. 00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:41.240 But what's nice about it is is that it it serves two purposes. 00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:42.840 One, it's a hub. 00:25:42.840 --> 00:25:49.320 So on the back it has a bunch of USB-C ports and display ports if you wanted to connect monitors, right? 00:25:49.320 --> 00:25:49.640 So 00:25:49.940 --> 00:25:58.100 It's it's I think it's I think the primary use of this is like you would use this with like your laptop for external displays and all that other stuff. 00:25:58.519 --> 00:26:01.480 It's got a nice little L C D display on the front. 00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:07.080 The USB-C ports on the front are are also charging. 00:26:07.120 --> 00:26:09.680 So even if my computer's off, yeah, they're powered. 00:26:09.680 --> 00:26:14.160 So even if my computer's off, I could plug in like my phones or whatever and charge on it. 00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:14.480 Um 00:26:15.320 --> 00:26:16.600 It's it's pretty good. 00:26:16.600 --> 00:26:19.240 Like it's it's it's it's a pretty nice little unit. 00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:25.320 It has a clock, which my desk there there's no clocks in my office, so that's kind that's kind of a luxury that I didn't have before. 00:26:25.320 --> 00:26:27.800 I do have to check my phone every time for that. 00:26:28.100 --> 00:26:38.340 Uh and the nice and and again, pri the primary reason here is that when I was looking at similar devices, anything that had a removable USC USB-C cable. 00:26:39.600 --> 00:26:42.080 was at least $100 to $150. 00:26:42.080 --> 00:26:42.960 So I was like, fuck it. 00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:43.840 I'll splurge. 00:26:43.840 --> 00:26:44.720 I'll get anchor. 00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:46.160 I know it's nice. 00:26:46.160 --> 00:26:47.920 And and so far it's good. 00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:52.080 I did have to install a driver for it to get the the clock to work. 00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:53.600 Okay. 00:26:53.740 --> 00:26:58.700 Yeah, so funny enough, the clock is actually synced to your computer's time. 00:26:59.980 --> 00:27:02.540 It it it doesn't have its own internal clock. 00:27:02.540 --> 00:27:07.420 So you need to install like a driver for it to sync the clock, but otherwise it works out of the box 00:27:06.980 --> 00:27:09.940 Like if I didn't want the clock, I could just see fuck it. 00:27:10.020 --> 00:27:13.460 Now I I have I have a very important question. 00:27:14.340 --> 00:27:16.100 The knob on the side. 00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:16.720 Yes. 00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:18.160 A, what is that for? 00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:19.760 And B, how is the knob? 00:27:19.760 --> 00:27:20.880 How's the knob scale? 00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:24.400 Uh here, let's lay let's let's let's do it's do a real-time knob review. 00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:26.480 So I'm just gonna take my my mic here. 00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:27.680 Okay, ready? 00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:28.960 Ready? 00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:31.760 Ooh, nice click there. 00:27:31.760 --> 00:27:32.400 Nice click. 00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:34.000 So what does the knob do? 00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:36.240 So the knob, the knob does a couple things. 00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:39.760 Number one, it lets you flip between different displays on it. 00:27:39.540 --> 00:27:40.180 Okay. 00:27:40.260 --> 00:27:44.340 So like the scre the screensaver is the clock. 00:27:44.340 --> 00:27:49.060 So when nothing's happening or I'm not using it, it just defaults to the clock. 00:27:49.060 --> 00:27:51.780 But if I have things plugged into it. 00:27:51.800 --> 00:27:57.320 One of the displays that you can flip to is like what's plugged in, what's the current wattage? 00:27:58.600 --> 00:28:00.440 How much power are you drawing? 00:28:00.980 --> 00:28:01.460 Okay. 00:28:01.460 --> 00:28:01.700 Okay. 00:28:01.700 --> 00:28:02.020 Okay. 00:28:02.020 --> 00:28:03.140 So that's that. 00:28:03.140 --> 00:28:10.740 Then the other one of the other displays is if you had if you had monitors plugged into it, it basically has three little boxes. 00:28:10.740 --> 00:28:14.340 It says HDMI 1, HDMI 2, and then display port. 00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:21.360 It would tell you like what's connected, what's the refresh rate, what's the what's the resolution, all that other stuff. 00:28:21.360 --> 00:28:24.640 And then there's this thing called performance mode. 00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:31.520 um that you can click into and I and I don't really understand like what it does. 00:28:31.520 --> 00:28:31.840 Um 00:28:33.220 --> 00:28:43.700 It it basically is like because this thing has a built-in fan, so like if you were if you had like a shitload of stuff plugged into it, it would have like an active cooling fan to like to like use it. 00:28:43.840 --> 00:28:54.720 Uh and then on any one of these screens, if you click the button, it would basically like go into like a little sub-menu where there's a couple of little options or shows you more info. 00:28:54.720 --> 00:28:57.760 And then of course there's like a settings tab that you can like 00:28:57.919 --> 00:29:00.240 you know, change change a couple things. 00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:01.520 Like, I don't know. 00:29:01.520 --> 00:29:03.919 But yeah, that's what that's what the knob does. 00:29:03.919 --> 00:29:05.600 So you can flip between different things. 00:29:05.600 --> 00:29:08.559 I don't know how useful that is, but it's cool. 00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:10.400 I think it I think it's kind of nice. 00:29:11.040 --> 00:29:23.440 So uh I got that and then it came with a longer USB-C cord, but it wasn't long enough, so I had to buy a USB-C extension cord to plug into this, and everything seems like it's working. 00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:23.760 So 00:29:24.560 --> 00:29:30.080 So so that that solves like my USB-C problems right now. 00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:32.240 But we're not out of the woods yet 00:29:32.040 --> 00:29:40.440 Because the bigger complaint that I have is that changing the display inputs on my monitor has proven very flaky 00:29:40.700 --> 00:29:41.500 Really? 00:29:41.820 --> 00:29:42.860 Yes. 00:29:42.860 --> 00:29:53.180 So like sometimes like when I want to flip over to my Linux machine, I would basically hit the button on the back of my monitor, pick HDMI2. 00:29:53.519 --> 00:30:03.279 And it would flip over, and sometimes it flips over and stays, and sometimes it flips over and flickers, and sometimes it flips over, but then flips back to Windows. 00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:12.399 I think this has something to do with the fact like I I I I truly truly think that it has something to do with NVIDIA because it never happens on my Mac. 00:30:12.399 --> 00:30:18.080 If I flip over to HDMI1, which is my Mac mini, absolutely no problems. 00:30:17.919 --> 00:30:22.480 Now what what further fucks this up is like right now I have two monitors. 00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:24.799 I have one that's horizontal and one that's vertical. 00:30:24.799 --> 00:30:26.000 So like my layout is this. 00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:26.640 Nerd 00:30:27.760 --> 00:30:35.760 Uh what I have found is on the Linux machine, sometimes when I flip between the input modes, Linux is like, oh, that monitor's not here. 00:30:35.760 --> 00:30:36.960 It's actually over here. 00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:42.520 And they're not connected anymore, so like the mouse ends up over here and then like it can't get home. 00:30:42.520 --> 00:30:44.280 Uh uh Linux, whatever. 00:30:44.280 --> 00:30:45.320 Like I don't know 00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:49.039 Submit a pull request, you you you nerd. 00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:49.520 Yeah. 00:30:49.520 --> 00:30:50.880 Yeah, exactly. 00:30:50.880 --> 00:30:57.360 So it's and then sometimes I get to a point where I'll try to like I'll switch over to Linux, it'll switch over. 00:30:57.360 --> 00:30:58.240 Everything's fine. 00:30:58.160 --> 00:31:01.520 Then I'll go switch back to Windows and it's just like, oh, I don't have a signal. 00:31:01.520 --> 00:31:05.760 No, you have a signal, so I have to like power cycle my monitor to get it to come back. 00:31:05.760 --> 00:31:06.000 Now 00:31:06.580 --> 00:31:14.980 There's a there's a weird combination here between like switching between HDMI and display port and multiple NVIDIA display adapters and multiple monitors. 00:31:14.980 --> 00:31:17.380 Like it's just this perfect storm of shit. 00:31:18.120 --> 00:31:24.440 So the the the the other thing that I've ordered that isn't here yet is another variant on a KVM. 00:31:24.440 --> 00:31:25.080 Okay. 00:31:25.080 --> 00:31:26.680 And it is the um 00:31:27.360 --> 00:31:31.440 It's the third link there, which we can't click on in our doc for some reason. 00:31:32.080 --> 00:31:34.080 I can't even select the text. 00:31:34.080 --> 00:31:34.799 Yeah, I know. 00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:39.279 Let me let me get you a new link because it's important that it's important that you look at this one. 00:31:39.279 --> 00:31:39.600 Okay 00:31:41.180 --> 00:31:43.340 So it's this. 00:31:43.340 --> 00:31:45.820 Um, yeah, did we like break our dock or something? 00:31:45.820 --> 00:31:46.620 I think so 00:31:48.360 --> 00:31:48.760 There we go. 00:31:50.679 --> 00:31:50.919 Yep. 00:31:50.919 --> 00:31:52.919 So this is the triple monitor. 00:31:53.080 --> 00:31:55.399 My goodness, Drew. 00:31:55.399 --> 00:31:56.200 Yeah. 00:31:56.200 --> 00:31:58.679 What the hell did you buy? 00:31:58.840 --> 00:32:12.600 So this is an 8K, 4K, triple monitor, KVM switch, three monitors, three computers, and it has support for three two display port and three inputs for each 00:32:12.980 --> 00:32:18.660 Oh yeah, okay I make so it's still an abomination, but at least it is an abomination. 00:32:18.980 --> 00:32:20.580 Looks makes sense now. 00:32:20.580 --> 00:32:26.980 Yeah, so basically what what I'm hoping that this does, and for $80, I'm willing to take a risk. 00:32:26.980 --> 00:32:29.860 And remember that remember that dollar figure for a minute. 00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:38.880 So basically the idea will be I will plug all three computers, PC, Mac, and Linux, all into this. 00:32:39.380 --> 00:32:43.700 There will be basically two cables that come out of it. 00:32:43.700 --> 00:32:44.740 Okay. 00:32:44.740 --> 00:32:46.980 And the the hope 00:32:47.660 --> 00:32:55.900 Is that I can just push a button on this to flip inputs and I'm sort of taking my monitor mode switching out of a loop. 00:32:55.900 --> 00:32:56.860 Okay. 00:32:57.260 --> 00:33:07.260 So now what's interesting is like um my my desktop PC is connected via display port and supports 144 Hertz. 00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:11.000 HDMI is only up to 120. 00:33:11.000 --> 00:33:14.760 Now, I don't know what that's gonna mean when I 00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:25.240 Flip between the different inputs here, or if this thing is just gonna constantly send out 144 hertz or a you know, based on based on the input type. 00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:26.840 There's there's a lot of things that I don't 00:33:27.040 --> 00:33:29.840 fully understand about how this is gonna work yet. 00:33:29.840 --> 00:33:31.360 Okay. 00:33:31.360 --> 00:33:37.520 But the the again, the hope is is that my monitor, I don't have to switch inputs on my monitor. 00:33:37.520 --> 00:33:41.760 I could just push one of these buttons and immediately have a display from whatever. 00:33:42.140 --> 00:33:47.820 Now, all of these things vary wildly in price. 00:33:47.820 --> 00:33:51.580 But one thing I have noticed is that this is like 00:33:52.120 --> 00:33:54.040 The model. 00:33:54.040 --> 00:34:04.760 There's like eight variants of this same device on Amazon made by different companies, range ranging from anywhere from $60 to $200. 00:34:04.760 --> 00:34:05.400 Now 00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:08.720 More more ports, more money. 00:34:08.720 --> 00:34:15.119 But there but there's literally some in here that are just in a different color scheme that are slightly more money or slightly more than the same chipset. 00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:17.520 They're just buying off a factory and putting a case on it. 00:34:17.520 --> 00:34:18.240 Exactly. 00:34:18.240 --> 00:34:19.119 Exactly. 00:34:19.119 --> 00:34:19.440 So 00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:22.960 I mean, they they seem to be pretty well reviewed. 00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:28.000 Um again, I'm it's got lots of it's that got lots of Amazon stars. 00:34:27.740 --> 00:34:30.379 Yeah, I mean it has it has pretty good reviews. 00:34:30.379 --> 00:34:32.139 It will it will show up next week. 00:34:32.139 --> 00:34:36.540 So I'll have uh yeah we'll we'll we'll revisit this and see if it like is working or not. 00:34:36.540 --> 00:34:40.540 But well Ernest Williams here uh hate he hated it one star 00:34:40.940 --> 00:34:43.099 Uh-oh, what did Ernest say? 00:34:43.740 --> 00:34:44.300 That's it. 00:34:44.300 --> 00:34:44.859 Hated it. 00:34:44.859 --> 00:34:45.500 This sucks. 00:34:45.579 --> 00:34:46.540 Hated it. 00:34:46.940 --> 00:34:47.579 This sucks. 00:34:47.740 --> 00:34:49.980 A few mu a few months later it's dead in the water. 00:34:49.980 --> 00:34:51.099 Absolutely does not work. 00:34:51.099 --> 00:34:53.980 I used the provided cables and plugged directly into my Mac M1. 00:34:53.980 --> 00:34:54.300 Nothing. 00:34:54.300 --> 00:34:55.500 Big disappointment. 00:34:55.460 --> 00:34:57.060 It's great if you like wasting your money. 00:34:57.060 --> 00:34:57.780 Chaz. 00:34:57.780 --> 00:35:00.580 Sometimes like try like sometimes you get a dud, right? 00:35:00.580 --> 00:35:02.100 Like just yeah. 00:35:02.100 --> 00:35:02.820 I mean, yeah. 00:35:02.820 --> 00:35:04.660 I mean for $80, what do you want? 00:35:04.660 --> 00:35:07.460 I mean, there are obviously much more high-end ones, but 00:35:07.660 --> 00:35:09.020 If it if it works, it works. 00:35:09.020 --> 00:35:10.140 If it doesn't, it doesn't. 00:35:10.140 --> 00:35:13.260 And we'll we'll see if it's if it solves my problem. 00:35:13.260 --> 00:35:15.100 But that that's what's happening now. 00:35:15.100 --> 00:35:18.220 So it's funny, like when you talk about AI and stuff, like 00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:23.200 That is primarily what I've been doing on this other computer. 00:35:23.200 --> 00:35:30.240 Like it has an NVIDIA 3090 in it, so I can run most models with a little bit of CPU offload, but I've been messing with 00:35:30.540 --> 00:35:31.660 computer vision stuff. 00:35:31.660 --> 00:35:35.660 I've been doing some audio stuff as well and trying to marry the two together. 00:35:35.660 --> 00:35:38.780 Um you know it's I I like playing around in Linux. 00:35:38.780 --> 00:35:41.100 It's not necessarily my daily driver. 00:35:41.160 --> 00:35:49.720 And I, you know, I already have a computer that I do most of like my adult work on, which is my Mac, but having this sitting here next to me, it's also my Plex server. 00:35:49.720 --> 00:35:51.320 It's a bunch of other stuff. 00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:55.400 So it just kind of lives in my office style versus in my back cellar. 00:35:55.120 --> 00:35:55.840 Nice. 00:35:56.080 --> 00:35:57.680 Yeah, so that that's the thing. 00:35:57.680 --> 00:36:00.000 Now those cases were not cheap. 00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:04.320 Um so I'm I'm definitely married to this now for the foreseeable future. 00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:09.360 But uh I will say my desk is much less clutter f uh clutter free because like 00:36:09.640 --> 00:36:13.000 My Mac is on the shelf that I put in the rack. 00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:15.400 All my audio equipment is over there as well. 00:36:15.799 --> 00:36:20.599 So literally the only thing on my desk is my keyboard, the anchor. 00:36:20.640 --> 00:36:23.680 uh my stream deck, my monitors, my keyboard, my mouse. 00:36:23.680 --> 00:36:24.240 That's it. 00:36:24.240 --> 00:36:26.640 Everything else is off my desk now, which is pretty nice. 00:36:26.640 --> 00:36:27.119 Okay. 00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:27.599 Okay. 00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:30.000 So I I like that minimalist lifestyle. 00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:31.920 Nice. 00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:33.120 Yeah. 00:36:33.120 --> 00:36:34.000 Alright. 00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:35.920 So what other topics do we have? 00:36:36.080 --> 00:36:37.360 That's kind of all of them, right? 00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:39.520 Yeah, we went through all the notes. 00:36:39.359 --> 00:36:41.760 Did you buy anything good for Black Friday? 00:36:42.240 --> 00:36:45.040 Besides everything you just listed. 00:36:46.240 --> 00:36:49.280 None of this was a Black Friday purchase, unfortunately. 00:36:51.440 --> 00:36:56.960 I mean I I uh yes I did, but it's not something I'm ready to talk about yet. 00:36:56.960 --> 00:36:57.920 Okay, okay. 00:36:57.920 --> 00:37:00.320 Yeah in fact in fact it just got delivered. 00:37:00.320 --> 00:37:02.560 Some of the stuff I ordered just got delivered. 00:37:02.560 --> 00:37:02.960 Uh 00:37:03.080 --> 00:37:03.480 Okay. 00:37:03.480 --> 00:37:06.600 When we were recording, I heard Vito going crazy upstairs. 00:37:06.600 --> 00:37:07.640 Okay. 00:37:07.640 --> 00:37:08.920 Uh what about you? 00:37:08.920 --> 00:37:11.320 Okay, so so I I I haven't gotten 00:37:11.300 --> 00:37:16.500 I haven't gotten either of these things yet, but uh I I I will I will share them with you. 00:37:16.500 --> 00:37:16.820 Okay. 00:37:16.820 --> 00:37:20.900 Uh do you want you want the thing that's a little embarrassing or the one that's really embarrassing first? 00:37:20.859 --> 00:37:22.220 Uh dealer's choice, buddy. 00:37:22.220 --> 00:37:23.339 You go you go for it. 00:37:23.339 --> 00:37:23.820 Okay. 00:37:23.820 --> 00:37:28.220 So obviously as uh you can see uh I I have a vinyl collection. 00:37:28.220 --> 00:37:30.300 I I like listening to to vinyl records. 00:37:30.300 --> 00:37:30.940 Yep. 00:37:30.940 --> 00:37:33.900 And uh you have to keep your records clean. 00:37:34.760 --> 00:37:36.279 You have something for that. 00:37:36.279 --> 00:37:37.720 Okay, yes, I do. 00:37:37.720 --> 00:37:38.680 I do. 00:37:38.680 --> 00:37:46.119 So I have a Humming Guru Nova ultrasonic record cleaner, and it works great. 00:37:46.920 --> 00:37:51.240 But but but they're like, hey, you know what I gotta find the link. 00:37:51.240 --> 00:37:51.880 Here we go. 00:37:51.880 --> 00:37:52.839 Okay. 00:37:52.839 --> 00:37:55.240 You know what makes that even better? 00:37:55.480 --> 00:38:01.080 if there was some way to automatically fill the water tank. 00:38:01.160 --> 00:38:03.720 Cause right, 'cause it's a cause it's a process, right? 00:38:03.720 --> 00:38:04.040 What? 00:38:04.040 --> 00:38:04.760 Your piss? 00:38:04.760 --> 00:38:07.640 Like where's no okay okay so here's here's what happens Drew. 00:38:07.640 --> 00:38:09.080 Okay, here's here's how 00:38:09.260 --> 00:38:11.740 Here's how pleball has to do it today. 00:38:11.740 --> 00:38:12.380 Okay. 00:38:12.380 --> 00:38:17.420 So the the this device it cleans and dries. 00:38:17.240 --> 00:38:20.120 Okay, so you have this little you have this little water tank. 00:38:20.120 --> 00:38:22.040 If I it was closer, I'd I'd grab it. 00:38:22.040 --> 00:38:29.080 And you fill this water tank up to a point and you put a couple drops of surfactant, which basically reduces the surface tension. 00:38:28.780 --> 00:38:30.220 so the bubbles can get in there. 00:38:30.220 --> 00:38:35.740 Then you have to take that thing and you have to pour it into the cleaner. 00:38:35.740 --> 00:38:37.260 You have to pour it into the machine. 00:38:37.460 --> 00:38:45.300 And then it runs so it cleans and then it drains and then it takes all the water out of the machine back into the tank so it can dry 00:38:45.520 --> 00:38:46.079 Okay. 00:38:46.079 --> 00:38:56.480 So if you're cleaning multiple records, like usually like I'll I'll clean like four, five, six records with the same water because I I pre-clean them and stuff and whatever. 00:38:56.620 --> 00:39:07.820 So I bought they so they are now selling this thing, the Humming Guru Water Dispenser, and it automates that process of putting the liquid back into the machine. 00:39:09.740 --> 00:39:12.700 So but you but you still have to make the liquid. 00:39:12.700 --> 00:39:14.300 Yeah, I but I do it once. 00:39:14.300 --> 00:39:19.020 I do that once and then I I I instead of uh this goes into where the water tank is 00:39:18.700 --> 00:39:20.700 And then it handles all that other stuff for me. 00:39:20.700 --> 00:39:21.420 It just does it. 00:39:21.420 --> 00:39:25.900 So I can I can go in between I go to the next record and just go. 00:39:25.900 --> 00:39:29.099 That is not the most embarrassing thing I bought. 00:39:29.299 --> 00:39:29.700 Okay. 00:39:34.579 --> 00:39:35.140 I get it. 00:39:35.140 --> 00:39:35.859 Okay. 00:39:35.940 --> 00:39:36.260 So 00:39:38.079 --> 00:39:45.200 The other enemy, so dirt, dirt and vinyl, not a good, not a good thing. 00:39:45.200 --> 00:39:49.359 The other big thing you're fighting with is static electricity 00:39:49.860 --> 00:39:50.900 Right? 00:39:51.220 --> 00:39:51.860 Okay. 00:39:53.380 --> 00:39:59.060 It's getting colder, the air is getting drier, static electricity is getting worse. 00:39:59.040 --> 00:39:59.360 Right? 00:40:00.960 --> 00:40:04.000 You take the record out of the sleeve, it just feels all crackly. 00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:05.600 It's it's it's un good. 00:40:05.600 --> 00:40:07.440 Now I have the zero stat. 00:40:07.580 --> 00:40:11.100 w that little zero stack gun, which does work great. 00:40:11.100 --> 00:40:12.540 But I love that thing. 00:40:12.540 --> 00:40:12.940 Okay. 00:40:12.940 --> 00:40:19.500 But you do have to like you have if you pull the trigger too quick, it doesn't work and you have to you have to 00:40:19.920 --> 00:40:22.480 So I I love automation, Drew. 00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:23.280 I love automation. 00:40:23.280 --> 00:40:27.840 I love I I love I love machines that do things for me. 00:40:27.840 --> 00:40:30.480 So I ordered 00:40:31.339 --> 00:40:32.060 This. 00:40:32.060 --> 00:40:33.420 A Tesla coil? 00:40:33.420 --> 00:40:33.980 No. 00:40:33.980 --> 00:40:34.540 Okay. 00:40:36.300 --> 00:40:36.859 Okay, hold on. 00:40:36.859 --> 00:40:38.700 I'm I was on the Humming Guru website. 00:40:38.700 --> 00:40:39.500 Mm-hmm. 00:40:39.740 --> 00:40:43.500 Uh orbit record static remover. 00:40:43.500 --> 00:40:44.540 Mm-hmm. 00:40:44.720 --> 00:40:55.440 Okay, so well how this works is you put your record on your your on the platter of your turntable and you put this on top of the spindle. 00:40:56.660 --> 00:41:06.900 Then you push a button and it rotates itself around the record, shooting negative ions or ions, I don't know, science magic. 00:41:06.740 --> 00:41:13.620 at the record makes 10 revolutions and then stops you take it off and then you play your record 00:41:17.260 --> 00:41:26.540 So one button and it's rechargeable, it's got a low rechargeable battery, so you gotta keep it charged, but you put this thing on top and it just you just hit the button and static gone. 00:41:26.540 --> 00:41:28.460 Static on static on Drew 00:41:32.500 --> 00:41:33.380 Mm-hmm. 00:41:33.380 --> 00:41:34.260 Yeah. 00:41:34.260 --> 00:41:34.820 Yeah, yeah. 00:41:34.820 --> 00:41:35.060 Yeah. 00:41:35.060 --> 00:41:38.020 So if you look at the pictures, right, it literally just 00:41:38.640 --> 00:41:41.039 Uh hold on I I She thick though. 00:41:41.039 --> 00:41:41.839 Uh it's big. 00:41:41.839 --> 00:41:42.720 It's big, yeah. 00:41:42.720 --> 00:41:44.960 It's it's it's like that tall. 00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:45.279 Yeah. 00:41:45.520 --> 00:41:52.319 I can hear a difference in the low level surface noise caused by the usual static charge that builds up on vinyl records from handling 00:41:52.420 --> 00:42:00.100 I don't have any test equipment to test for the intensity of static charge before and after using the device, but sonically I am pleased with the performance. 00:42:00.100 --> 00:42:03.540 I will provide an update should I procure the appropriate test equipment. 00:42:04.100 --> 00:42:06.100 Thanks, Lucian. 00:42:06.100 --> 00:42:06.660 Now 00:42:06.940 --> 00:42:13.099 If you if you Oh my god, I'm sorry, I love some of these people's record

I was just describing all the things to our listeners that I saw on camera. 00:45:07.140 --> 00:45:08.260 I like your chair by the way. 00:45:08.260 --> 00:45:08.580 That's 00:45:08.580 --> 00:45:09.540 The first time I saw that chair. 00:45:09.780 --> 00:45:10.340 Yeah, thank you. 00:45:10.340 --> 00:45:10.660 Thank you. 00:45:10.660 --> 00:45:10.900 Yeah. 00:45:11.460 --> 00:45:12.660 Is that still working out for you? 00:45:12.660 --> 00:45:13.220 I love it. 00:45:13.220 --> 00:45:14.260 It's it's great. 00:45:14.260 --> 00:45:19.300 Like I have I can sit all day on my fat ass and no back pain. 00:45:19.300 --> 00:45:20.340 So yay. 00:45:20.660 --> 00:45:21.380 Okay. 00:45:21.380 --> 00:45:22.420 Mm-hmm. 00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:34.040 Yeah, I I think I think after this weekend I'll be able to talk about my Black Friday purchases because um Yeah, they're they're not here yet and I just have to I have to get everything assembled. 00:45:34.040 --> 00:45:34.359 So 00:45:34.900 --> 00:45:37.380 Um, that's 46 minutes of content. 00:45:37.380 --> 00:45:39.060 I think that's a good one to come back to. 00:45:39.060 --> 00:45:42.260 And you know, we're we're sort of kicking the tires on this new thing. 00:45:42.260 --> 00:45:42.900 Yeah. 00:45:42.980 --> 00:45:47.299 I so does it does this does this do the same thing where it basically spits out one audio file? 00:45:47.299 --> 00:45:54.260 Yeah, so I'll get uh in theory I'll get a combined audio track and I'll get separate audio recordings just like Libsyn. 00:45:54.260 --> 00:45:56.900 I'll get your track and my track separately 00:45:56.580 --> 00:46:00.180 And which is what that's all usually I'll use for the edit because it just sounds better. 00:46:00.180 --> 00:46:03.460 And I can and then what about will you get like a video feed? 00:46:03.460 --> 00:46:04.260 I think so. 00:46:04.260 --> 00:46:05.380 I think so. 00:46:05.260 --> 00:46:08.700 Maybe maybe we publish to YouTube instead of them doing it for us. 00:46:09.660 --> 00:46:20.060 If if it's easy to edit, and apparently I also can do like the editing in here and uh supposedly have you ever heard of uh uh a tool called uh D script? 00:46:20.080 --> 00:46:20.880 No. 00:46:20.880 --> 00:46:24.160 So DScript is an audio editing tool. 00:46:24.160 --> 00:46:28.400 It's designed for podcasts, but how it works is Oh, right up our alley. 00:46:28.640 --> 00:46:34.560 So you do but how D script works is you upload the audio and it transcribes it. 00:46:34.599 --> 00:46:37.079 And you edit the text. 00:46:37.079 --> 00:46:42.040 So if you want to cut out a section, you literally highlight the text and delete it 00:46:42.059 --> 00:46:43.740 Oh, and it just will be omitted. 00:46:43.740 --> 00:46:44.140 Uh-huh. 00:46:44.140 --> 00:46:44.380 Yeah. 00:46:44.380 --> 00:46:45.900 And then it knows what the audio is. 00:46:45.900 --> 00:46:50.539 And I think this does that too, which is also part of the why I think they're doing like the AI. 00:46:50.860 --> 00:46:51.420 Training. 00:46:51.420 --> 00:46:57.020 So like if you want to change a word, you can change a word and it just goes, I can make Droop say whatever I want to say. 00:46:57.980 --> 00:46:59.100 Yeah, I want to see. 00:46:59.100 --> 00:47:00.380 I want to see how that works. 00:47:00.380 --> 00:47:00.860 Yeah. 00:47:00.860 --> 00:47:03.820 So uh what does this cost? 00:47:04.039 --> 00:47:06.279 Oh hold on. 00:47:06.279 --> 00:47:07.799 Like compared to Libsin. 00:47:07.960 --> 00:47:09.799 Okay, so here's another reason. 00:47:09.799 --> 00:47:11.880 Libsin is raising their prices. 00:47:11.880 --> 00:47:13.079 Oh fuck that. 00:47:13.079 --> 00:47:16.440 So which I'm still gonna use them for hosting. 00:47:16.059 --> 00:47:21.740 But uh if this works, I'm gonna take that back down to the much lower plan that doesn't give us call connects. 00:47:21.740 --> 00:47:23.500 I don't need that anymore. 00:47:23.500 --> 00:47:29.099 Uh so I'm getting it for 35% off 00:47:30.339 --> 00:47:32.980 Uh so it is what? 00:47:32.980 --> 00:47:37.380 It's uh hold on. 00:47:37.380 --> 00:47:39.540 I can do math. 00:47:39.540 --> 00:47:42.740 So for the first year it's gonna be 15 bucks a month. 00:47:43.060 --> 00:47:43.540 Okay. 00:47:43.540 --> 00:47:45.620 I mean let me know if you want me to throw some money at that. 00:47:47.060 --> 00:47:52.420 But yeah, if this works, my plan is to take the Lipson plan back down to where it was. 00:47:52.620 --> 00:47:56.060 uh before because we don't need the the that stuff. 00:47:56.060 --> 00:48:00.460 Honestly, I it's I I don't know, it's it's definitely fancier. 00:48:00.460 --> 00:48:00.860 Like 00:48:01.460 --> 00:48:10.339 I don't know if you've looked, but I I can see like, oh, this is your the name of your camera and what audio equipment you're using and how much you've uploaded. 00:48:10.340 --> 00:48:11.620 And yeah, yeah. 00:48:11.620 --> 00:48:14.180 I mean I think I I think we're still uploading chunks. 00:48:14.180 --> 00:48:15.700 We're just not calling it chunks. 00:48:15.700 --> 00:48:16.100 Yeah. 00:48:16.100 --> 00:48:17.860 Oh no, my chunks will still be there. 00:48:17.860 --> 00:48:18.580 But yeah. 00:48:18.580 --> 00:48:19.620 Yeah, that's yeah. 00:48:19.620 --> 00:48:21.220 I'm curious to see how it goes. 00:48:21.220 --> 00:48:23.860 So yeah, we'll find out on Sunday 00:48:23.559 --> 00:48:27.480 Yeah, uh the last thing to mention here is this is episode two ninety-eight. 00:48:27.480 --> 00:48:30.920 We need to get on the stick for we need to get on the stick for what we're gonna do. 00:48:31.240 --> 00:48:32.359 I know. 00:48:33.839 --> 00:48:35.839 I still haven't decided. 00:48:35.839 --> 00:48:38.079 But I don't have to travel
