- It's not hoarders. - It's hoarding. - Ouch, oh, I got hit in the butt with a nail. Why is there a shotgun shell back here? Well, what are we supposed
to do with these pickles now? I have my feet in the rice. No, that's why, oh! - Oh, my gosh! Linus! (laughs sarcastically) - Come here baby. - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. This is definitely an
episode of the hoarders. (dramatic music) - Yvonne and I finally got COVID. Don't worry, we're gonna be fine. But, it means we can't
go to work right now, which could be a blessing in disguise. Because, it made us realize that, if all those according to plan, (knocks on wood) we're gonna be moving in three weeks. Which means we have a
freaking ton of packing to do. But, it only took about 15
minutes of boxing things up to realize a few things. One, this place is absolutely
chalk full of memories. Pretty much our entire adult lives, raising children, starting this company, has taken place within these four walls. Two, we've shown bits and
pieces of the tech set up here, usually as parts of videos. But, never the final form. And this is gonna be our last chance. And three, I have stolen
more tech from the office over the years than every Intel extreme
tech upgrade combined, to the point where logistics
actually printed out a list. And asked me to go through the house, and try to find this stuff. So why don't we do that together. And take a trip down memory
lane while we're at it. Oh! And why don't I tell
you about our sponsor. Hetzner, for a limited time, Hetzner Online is offering
all AX dedicated route servers with AMD Ryzen CPUs, and select EX dedicated route servers with Intel core I7 and I9 CPUs, without a setup fee, no setup fee, guys. Get these servers configured today, using the link below. (upbeat music) Before we go any further, I just wanna say that, we
don't normally live like this. It's a symptom of thinking
that your big move is right around the corner, for like six months. You know, instead of
putting away my tools, I make a pile. Instead of Yvonne putting
away her crafting stuff, she makes a pile. Instead of badgering the
kids to put away their toys, we're just like, ah, throw it in the pile. So why don't we get
started in the living room? - Where do you want me? - Do you wanna help? Are you tired? Do you get pretty... - I can help for a little bit, yeah. - It's no secret, I'm a big
fan of Xbox 360 controllers. Love the rechargeable AA batteries. So you're never just like
throwing batteries in a heap. And they're still working
all these years later 'cause you're not dependent
on internal batteries. - I don't think you use this. I just dug this out from the corner. - No, it's there. So I have have easy... I actually, how much dust is on it? - [Yvonne] A lot, look at it. - [Linus] Well, we have
different standards a lot. - [Yvonne] Look at it. - I wouldn't lick it. - So this is going in the pile. - No, no, no. When I need it, it's very useful. This will be in the theater room for sure let me just-- - What? - Okay, these little Sedco things, I don't think you can get them anymore. They're actually kind of great. Two AA batteries, one on each side and it's a gyroscopic mouse. So you go like this. And then it has a little
typy keyboard thing here. But they're not great. The quality sucks. They die all the time. And I only have two more
left in reserve, so. And I haven't found a
good replace for it, so. - This is not that replacement. - Well, no, but occasionally you just, you need to like use a mouse and keyboard. There's gonna be a computer in there. I need it. - But this is huge. Why don't you just get a small one? - I mean, sometimes bigger's better. What can I say? - Bigger's not always better. - That's good that you think that. - I have to. How many headsets do you have? - Oh, like VR headsets. Okay, this is a long story. This is the Pimax 8K. And the reason I have this here is that, I really wanted to do a review of it. These guys actually flew a representative, over the ocean from China because they were so excited
to show me this technology like years ago. And it was terrible. It was atrocious. The leg was awful. Everything about it was awful except for the groundbreaking field of view. That's what they do really well. - [Brandon] It's huge. - And they basically were like, yeah, we fixed everything
that you had a problem with. We want you to review it now. And I was like, all right, I'm gonna go for it. And it actually looks amazing. The leg is totally fixed. But the problem is that, I think that Pimax is
really Asian market focused. I actually meant for
you to try this because, my prominent nose. - Your nose that's now growing sideways. - Is not, thank you for that, is not compatible with the shape of this, of the nose piece of the headset. Does it bump your nose? - No. - Yeah, okay. See, that's what I figured. And because it's so heavy, and bulky, within like, two minutes, I have a horrible red mark,
like a dent on my nose. So I really wanted to review
it and daily drive it. And I just found that it
made me not use VR at all. And then I meant to take
it back to the office, but I hadn't disentangled it from here. - Okay. - And then, I also brought
at home the 5k version, 'cause I wanted to compare them. And so they're here and these can go back. My VR setup here is really cool though, and has changed since the
last time I made a video. I've still got four of
the gen 2 base stations. And I'm using a Valve Index. This is interesting. The reason I have four base
stations in the first place, because, two actually, technically one is enough, is that I was having this issue when I was trying to stream
with full body tracking. So where you've got these
trackers on your feet and on your hips. Like, they would kind of wander away. And it seemed to be some
kind of signal issue or tracking issue. So I made sure that I
was completely surrounded in base stations, that didn't help. And then I tried repositioning, these are called Watchman. These are the little
receivers that receive data from these guys to tell them the position, that didn't really help it. It made it better but not perfect. And then what ultimately fixed it, was when I upgraded to the gen 2 trackers. But it's not the trackers that fixed it. These have better battery
and they're smaller, which is nice, but it
was the gen 2 Watchman. There we go. That fixed the problem. These actually have the
exact same part number as the old ones. But the performance seems
to be markedly better. So the reason that I haven't
sent all the gen 1 trackers back to the office is that I was lazy. I even had to switch my
media PC to microATX. So that I could install
another expansion card in it. Got one of these sick
quad controller USB cards. So each of these ports has
its own individual controller. And that was because I thought
there might be some kind of, bandwidth issue or compatibility issue with having the Watchman
share a USB controller. I spent so much freaking
time diagnosis in this thing. One thing that didn't
work about this machine is the external fans. Oh, okay. 'Cause they came unplugged. Well, there's your problem. These fans in the cabinet just never spun. So and I never bothered dealing with it 'cause I just opened up the door. Otherwise, this machine's
been great though. Got that 30, 80 in there. 800 Watt power supply. This thing is so compact. - I hope you have a more elegant solution for charging when we go to the new place. - This is pretty elegant. You got the anchor, like, what is this? Like 10 port charger. And you plug the thing into the thing. - I think, the problem
was that it was buried with all the wires on top of it. So you never knew where to put anything. - Yep, agreed. - [Yvonne] I just plugged
in this light over here and it sparked really big. And I noticed that there's one plug that's plugged into one circuit and one into the other, is that a problem? - I'm like, sorry, what? There's a single device that is plugged into two receptacles. - Yeah. - Oh, that wouldn't be best. Oh, this is hilarious. Yep. And-- - [Brandon] Oh, oh, that's bad. - That's a swing in the miss. - [Brandon] That's very bad. - Oh, this is an interesting one. I felt very judged about it, but, I actually daily drive a soundbar. And the Sonos Arc, from my experience, has just been the strongest performer. And shout out Sonos, for sending a loner unit of
their accompanying subwoofer and then totally forgetting
to ever ask for it back. So it's just been like,
quietly sitting here waiting for Sonos to remember that I have it. I'm sure now that I've said this, they're gonna figure out that I have it and ask for it back. This was a fun project. Learning how to put in-ceiling
speakers into your house. And actually, because it's a
crawl space above this room, I was able to wire all
of the base stations as well as that security camera by crawling around in the insulation. We're not gonna go in there again today. We have plenty of file
footage of that because, we reblew cellulose insulation
and I don't wanna disturb it. But that was a lot of work. - I don't think there's
tech in the kitchen. - No tech in the kitchen. Bam! Sonos speaker. Bam! Nest, smoke thing. So you can press the button, be like, shut up! - [Nest] Press to test. - Oh, no, I don't wanna test. - There's a whole pile of tech here. - Hold on a second. Don't you mean, there's a whole lot of tech here in this-- - Okay, wait. - It's not hoarders. I mean.
- It's hoarding, absolutely. - What's wrong with
still having your camera from 15 years ago so that your
kids can just play with it? - On your window sill? - Fun story. These headphones were actually
one of the first gifts that Yvonne ever bought me. I had never owned like a
really nice pair of headphones. And she went to all the
work to figure out exactly what the model I wanted was. These are the HD 555s from Sennheiser. And what were these? Birthday present, I think? - Probably. - Yeah. So these would've been in
year one of our relationship. And I actually used these
for gaming for many years. Gotta love that mod mic attachment. No detachable cable though. Gotta move up in the line up for that. Okay. I'll accompany you on the recorder. Just pair of things. (piano plays) (flute plays) - [Brandon] And that was
all that we needed to hear. - Yeah. - How much do you love
our pantry right now? - [Brandon] You're not
even using most of it. - Not using most of the pantry. Do you mean by sheer volume, we haven't actually used most of it? Thanks, Brandon. - The problem is that because
we can't walk in our pantry and find things we need, every time we need
something we go and buy it. - That's not even true. Be fair to us. There's not that much
duplicate stuff in here. I need all of these pickles, obviously. - [Brandon] Oh, my God! - Oh, my gosh! You're crushing things. And people always thought... Oh! Duke. - That wasn't my fault. - [Brandon] What did you do? - The shelf just fell down. - He just broke this shelf.
- Oh, my God! - They're not attached to anything, they're just-- - Okay, just, just stop. - Well, what I'm I supposed
to do with these pickles now? I have my feet in the rice. Man, what's going on in here? Oh! See? How could I enjoy charging my car, with something that wasn't installed by the one and only
Brian, the electrician? I remember, giving Brian
a hard time about this. Like stupid two by four
mount that he made for it. I was like, shouldn't we like do something that'll look a little nicer? He's like, yeah, but
you'll paint it black. I didn't. Oh, here's a fun one. Guess what this line is? One day I was feeling ambitious and I put badminton court lines, down on the floor and a net line. So that I could like
practice footwork in here. I used it, I think twice. Oh, hey, look, there's the Wii modes and stuff. - [Yvonne] Yeah. - [Linus] Okay, that's awesome. And one of your many helium tanks. Every time there's a party or something, she goes and buys another (beeps) helium tank. How many do we have of these right now? - I think, we have three, but, I think, that might be empty or
that one might be empty. - Might be empty. Hold on. There's only one way to find out. - You are sick. Don't put your mouth on. Oh, okay. - Are you sure it's empty? Because, I think, there might
be a problem with that theory. - This feels like a really bad episode. - But it's really fun. You sound all funny and stuff. (laughs loudly) - Jake. - Oh, I'm a little lightheaded. (beeps) Sit down and get some oxygen here. It's closing down around me. - [Brandon] Where did Dennis
fall through the ceiling? - [Yvonne] Oh, that's here. Wasn't it?
- No, it's not. No, no. Dennis fell through the ceiling, here. - [Brandon] Hey editor, roll the clip. - [Yvonne] Oh, God damn it, Dennis. - [Linus] Almost die. Why is there a pillow on the stairs? - Oh, I was bringing it upstairs. - Oh, yeah. And you made it that far? - Yeah. - Oh, good job. - Stop it. - Okay, I joke sometimes
that I dress like, a cartoon character. 'Cause I always wear the same thing. This is literally my pants drawer. One pair of these pants, two pair of these pants, three pair of these pants. I only own one kind of pants. Basically, if your wardrobe
store doesn't look like mine, just full LTT store, LTT store, then you're not doing
it right, I'm afraid. My night stand's a fun one. This is where all the tech that I like kind of want to try, but, I'm not gonna get around to, ends up. So first of all, I keep all my wireless earphones here. I sleep with earphones in. So I need like, a few. Because if I wake up in
the middle of the night and they're dead, then I
need to put new ones in. I just like can't sleep without them. Got my favorite handhelds,
Steam Deck for most things. And then, Ideonyx, I do
really like this thing. They've got some, sounds like they've got
some really cool stuff coming as well. Hey, Brandon, check this out. This is that charger that we did the very first short circuit on. So it's Apple Watch and then iPad and phone and AirPods. But, I took the, ah, there you go. I took the iPad one and I
put my erring charger on. So it just sits there I pop it on. And then, I've got the packaging for one of these earphones. Other more different with this watch that I wanted to try out for a little bit. Really wanted to try this
phone as a daily driver, never got around to it. Wanted to put this, wanted to use this doc and
put this screen protector on the Inneo, didn't do that. - This looks too stylish for you. - I know, right? - It's really nice. - Old Note 9, 'cause I
just can't let it go. - Oh, I think one of these had your, what's called, LMG business plan. - No, it's not one of these ones, I don't think. - Are you sure? - Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Oh, wait, what's this? This is what our infrastructure
plan looked like, in the very early days
of being at the office. So whonnock, 24 SSD raid 51, that goes to editors, whatever the rest of this says. And then that would
constant sync with Newton, which would back up to Camloops, nightly. This is a brilliant, way better than what we have now. - Okay. You have a whole bag of headphones when you use wireless headphones. - Right. Because, someday, a solar flare, (chuckles softly) might fry all the wireless headphones. I don't know. Oh, do I still have a TV in my bathroom? What a wonderful question. That's gonna be a big fat, yes! I actually, don't use it that often. More often than not, I'm like vegging in the bathtub. And I just want the little screen 'cause I don't want my
eyes to be all overwhelmed. If it was an OLED and I
could turn it way down, I'd probably use it more. Oh, man, should we go up to the attic? That's probably the sketchiest upgrade we made to this house. Ironically, because of how recently it was completely redone when we put in the air conditioning, that was such a great
DIY project, by the way. It was a ton of work,
but strongly recommend. We saved like 15 grand doing it ourselves and it's been like-- - It's been great, yeah. - It's been awesome. I think it's been one of the least controversial home upgrades that I've actually made. - Okay. I think, the one thing that
was really controversial was the ceiling cassettes were so big, they were way bigger than just the-- - Do you even notice it anymore? - Yes. - This is really sketchy. This is my racket stringing machine that probably weighs about 250 pounds. That is sitting on the underside
of these, roof terraces. This is really not ideal. And we actually, put plywood down over almost the entire attic. That's why everything is spread out. 'Cause we're trying to spread the load out as much as possible. But it's just like, once
you've got three kids and they do all these
different activities and stuff. You've got equipment for this. And you've got jackets for that and. - So three kids worth of stuff is like three little bays here. That's what we call these things. And then, this over here, is three bays of Linus stuff. - Okay. Okay. First, literally, last night, she's like, you don't keep
enough sentimental stuff from our relationship. Now today, she's like, oh, why do you have this case? That was like, the
biggest gift I got for you in our first couple of years. And why do you have, okay, that's probably the only thing to do with our relationship. - Yeah. - Necessarily, but. - Oh, my gosh! Linus. - Okay, well that's broken. Ew, why did I keep my retainers? - [Brandon] Linus. - So Linus will keep three
sets of his old retainers and won't keep sentimental
stuff from our relationship. Like, what are you talking about? - It's not that I don't keep it. It's just that it's not in this bin. You know what? Maybe I just don't need a lot
of reminders of how amazing you are because I live with you every day, if you think of that. - We actually did during
the first quarantine an entire video on all
the cool old tech Linus had in the attic. So you can check that one out. - Yeah, you're like a pro, you're like throw into an other video. Okay. Here's a sentimental thing that I kept that's to do with you. Remember, when you encouraged
me to buy these shoes 'cause you thought they were stylish? - [Yvonne] I did not encourage
you to buy those shoes. - Yeah. - These used to be bright pink, Brandon and green. - Yeah, like the laces. - Like the Lambo. Okay. And then, I literally
walked out of the Payless because he was in the women's section wanting to get these shoes. - Yeah, you were like, wow, can you believe these are
in the clearance section? You should totally plan for this. - No, no. - I can't believe how much
tech stuff we've seen already and we hadn't even made it into
like the computer room yet. Here's a fun one. This piece of plywood has been
here for at least two years. I took it off the wall, of the world's most
comfortable gaming setup. When we took down the world's
most comfortable gaming setup and turned this into the
room where we close the door and do not look at the mess the kids made. I puttied the wall and
intended to sand it down and paint over it and then never did it. And now, I like to not look in this room and I like to close the door. Yvonne setup. I finally convinced her to
go ultra wide years ago. She insisted for the longest time on having like two small monitors. She was like, no, I'll get a headache. I'll get a headache. This keyboard is the one that
we repaired recently actually. Sort of, we kind of broke
things and repaired it. As for my setup, there's some things that I have changed since the last time you guys saw it. And there's some things
that I actually haven't. Sennheiser HD 600, those are still here. I tried swapping them out with the HD 8, ah, man, whatever the Mastro
version of the HD 800 is, I tried them out. I just can't get over the comfort. Still using the Rode Podcaster mic. But, I've changed my display. So that Aorus, 48 inch OLED, that I believe was a sponsored video. Man, this video, not sponsored at all, but this thing is freaking awesome. I don't think there's any going back to smaller than 48 inch, which is tough. Because, the new QD OLED stuff
looks absolutely amazing. That Alienware that we
did a video on recently, real, real tempting. Got a Stream Deck. Literally, never use it. You can see it's just got the
little welcome thing up there. And Razor's Thunderbolt
4 Dock, compatibility, good performance, good reliability. Great. Why is the uplink on the front? From a cable management perspective, why would you want that? It took me a solid 10,
15 minutes to figure out that it wasn't broken. Because I was trying, using
every single back type C, I think there's like three
of them, as the uplink. 'Cause I assume the front one was for, like, convenient front IO access. I never did properly figure out all the cable management in here. This is really bad. My power bar is just hanging
off the bottom of the desk now. But I'm not gonna fix that. We're just gonna do it up
right at the new place. And then there's the server room. This is the heart of it all. I'm gonna miss you. I'm gonna miss you, server rack. Microtik 10 GB switch, Ubiquiti has some really
good 10 gig stuff now. So we're going almost full
Ubiquiti at the new place. Ubiquiti PoE Switch. Ubiquiti, is this the Dream Machine? Yeah, this is the UDM-Pro. So we're gonna have pretty
similar gear at the new place except like times three, because that place has
literally kilometers of Cat6A cable in it. These personal rigs
are gonna come for now. But I think, we're actually
gonna do a redesigned chassis that's just way smarter, better front IO, better water cooling layout,
like more compatible. And maybe this time around
it'll be good enough that we'll be comfortable
releasing the design files or who knows? If it's good enough,
then maybe we'll do it. Maybe we'll do like a
rack mount gaming case. Partner with some kind of case
manufacturer or something. - So I'm not gonna have my OeL anymore? - I mean you can keep it if, you can keep yours if you want, but I'm gonna have to carry mine. - Oh, okay. - This was hand painted
for us, by neighbor Steve. Who used to be our neighbor
next to our office. He actually technically
still our neighbor. The office he works in is just 25 seconds farther away by foot. Also in here, we've got the Ultimater 2
Extended that I definitely took from the office to make flexy cats and-- - [Brandon] Are those C-stands? - Sorry? - Yeah, so that was during the pandemic when we were filming a lot from home. Honestly, looking around all
the tech and reminiscing now, it feels so old. - It feels old. Pretty old.
- Yeah. Like I just, I look at
things like the AC cassettes, even though that was only done like, you know, a year or
two years ago and just, it looks so unprofessional
compared to a lot of-- - Hey. - Stuff that we've got going. - Well, you know, what's
not unprofessional? Telling the truth about our sponsor. OVHcloud. It's a global cloud provider

- Yeah. - You ready to start boxing stuff up?
