Saying Goodbye... - Tech Hoarder Attic Tour

**A New Era of Gaming with Aorus 48-inch OLED Display**

I've recently made the switch to a new display, the Aorus 48-inch OLED, which was showcased in a sponsored video. I must say, this display is truly impressive and has changed my perspective on what's possible in terms of screen size. The new QD OLED technology looks absolutely stunning, and I'm not sure I'll ever go back to smaller screens again.

The Aorus 48-inch OLED is a game-changer in the world of gaming displays. Its massive size provides an immersive experience that's hard to match with smaller screens. I've had the opportunity to play games on this display, and it's truly breathtaking. The level of detail and clarity is unparalleled, making for an incredible gaming experience.

I also recently took a look at the Alienware display that was showcased in another video. It's a beautiful machine, and I can see why it would be tempting to those who want the latest and greatest technology. The Stream Deck is also a fantastic tool for streamers and content creators, allowing for seamless control over their streams.

In terms of cable management, I must say that I'm not too impressed with the design of the Aorus 48-inch OLED. The uplink on the front is a bit confusing, and I found myself spending a solid 10-15 minutes trying to figure out what was going on. It's not exactly the most user-friendly design, but I suppose it's a minor trade-off for the incredible display quality.

Moving on to the server room, this is where things get really interesting. We've been using Microtik 10 GB switches and Ubiquiti equipment to power our network, but we're looking to upgrade to something even more powerful at our new location. The UDM-Pro switch from Ubiquiti promises to deliver fast and reliable performance, which will be essential for our growing network.

One of the things I love about this setup is the way it's been customized to meet our specific needs. We've got a team of experts who are passionate about creating a unique gaming environment that's tailored to each individual player. From the personal rigs to the server racks, everything has been designed with performance and efficiency in mind.

I'm also excited to see what the future holds for this setup. We're looking at redesigning our case to make it even more efficient and user-friendly. With the help of some amazing partners, we're confident that we can create a truly revolutionary gaming experience that will take the industry by storm.

As I look around my office, I'm reminded of the old days when things were simpler. The AC cassettes on our walls are a nostalgic reminder of a time long past. But as technology continues to advance at breakneck speed, it's clear that we need to adapt and evolve if we want to stay ahead of the curve.

That's why I'm excited to be working with OVHcloud, a global cloud provider that's operating over 400,000 servers across four continents. Their commitment to performance and price predictability makes them an ideal partner for our needs. With their VPS service, we can host games online with friends like never before.

For those who are interested in learning more about the world of cloud hosting, I'd recommend checking out OVHcloud's resources. From creating your own vast gaming worlds to managing servers and bandwidth, there's a wealth of information available to help you get started.

If you enjoyed this video, be sure to check out some of my other content, including "Digging Through the Attic" – a series where I revisit old memories and share stories from our past adventures. It's a great way to relive the good old days and see how far we've come since then.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- 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 supposedto 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 anepisode of the hoarders.(dramatic music)- Yvonne and I finally got COVID.Don't worry, we're gonna be fine.But, it means we can'tgo 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 afreaking ton of packing to do.But, it only took about 15minutes of boxing things upto realize a few things.One, this place is absolutelychalk 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 andpieces 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 stolenmore tech from the officeover the yearsthan every Intel extremetech upgrade combined,to the point where logisticsactually 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 memorylane while we're at it.Oh!And why don't I tellyou about our sponsor.Hetzner, for a limited time,Hetzner Online is offeringall AX dedicated route serverswith AMD Ryzen CPUs,and select EX dedicated route serverswith 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, wedon't normally live like this.It's a symptom of thinkingthat your big move is rightaround the corner, for like six months.You know, instead ofputting away my tools,I make a pile.Instead of Yvonne puttingaway her crafting stuff,she makes a pile.Instead of badgering thekids to put away their toys,we're just like, ah, throw it in the pile.So why don't we getstarted 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 bigfan of Xbox 360 controllers.Love the rechargeable AA batteries.So you're never just likethrowing batteries in a heap.And they're still workingall these years later'cause you're not dependenton 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?- A lot, look at it.- Well, we havedifferent standards a lot.- 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 surelet 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 sideand it's a gyroscopic mouse.So you go like this.And then it has a littletypy keyboard thing here.But they're not great.The quality sucks.They die all the time.And I only have two moreleft in reserve, so.And I haven't found agood 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 Chinabecause they were so excitedto show me this technologylike years ago.And it was terrible.It was atrocious.The leg was awful.Everything about it was awful exceptfor the groundbreaking field of view.That's what they do really well.- It's huge.- And they basically were like,yeah, we fixed everythingthat 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 isreally Asian market focused.I actually meant foryou 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 reviewit and daily drive it.And I just found that itmade me not use VR at all.And then I meant to takeit back to the office,but I hadn't disentangled it from here.- Okay.- And then, I also broughtat 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 thelast time I made a video.I've still got four ofthe gen 2 base stations.And I'm using a Valve Index.This is interesting.The reason I have four basestations in the first place,because, two actually,technically one is enough,is that I was having this issuewhen I was trying to streamwith full body tracking.So where you've got thesetrackers on your feetand on your hips.Like, they would kind of wander away.And it seemed to be somekind of signal issueor tracking issue.So I made sure that Iwas completely surroundedin base stations, that didn't help.And then I tried repositioning,these are called Watchman.These are the littlereceivers that receive datafrom 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 batteryand they're smaller,which is nice, but itwas the gen 2 Watchman.There we go.That fixed the problem.These actually have theexact same part numberas the old ones.But the performance seemsto be markedly better.So the reason that I haven'tsent all the gen 1 trackersback to the office is that I was lazy.I even had to switch mymedia PC to microATX.So that I could installanother expansion card in it.Got one of these sickquad controller USB cards.So each of these ports hasits own individual controller.And that was because I thoughtthere might be some kind of,bandwidth issue or compatibility issuewith having the Watchmanshare a USB controller.I spent so much freakingtime diagnosis in this thing.One thing that didn'twork about this machineis 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'sbeen great though.Got that 30, 80 in there.800 Watt power supply.This thing is so compact.- I hope you have a more elegant solutionfor 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 problemwas that it was buriedwith all the wires on top of it.So you never knew where to put anything.- Yep, agreed.- I just pluggedin this light over hereand it sparked really big.And I noticed that there's one plugthat's plugged into one circuitand one into the other, is that a problem?- I'm like,sorry, what?There's a single device that is pluggedinto two receptacles.- Yeah.- Oh, that wouldn't be best.Oh, this is hilarious.Yep.And--- Oh, oh, that's bad.- That's a swing in the miss.- 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 oftheir accompanying subwooferand then totally forgettingto ever ask for it back.So it's just been like,quietly sitting here waitingfor Sonos to remember that I have it.I'm sure now that I've said this,they're gonna figure out that I have itand ask for it back.This was a fun project.Learning how to put in-ceilingspeakers into your house.And actually, because it's acrawl space above this room,I was able to wire allof the base stationsas well as that security cameraby crawling around in the insulation.We're not gonna go in there again today.We have plenty of filefootage of that because,we reblew cellulose insulationand I don't wanna disturb it.But that was a lot of work.- I don't think there'stech 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!- 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 withstill having your camerafrom 15 years ago so that yourkids can just play with it?- On your window sill?- Fun story.These headphones were actuallyone of the first giftsthat Yvonne ever bought me.I had never owned like areally nice pair of headphones.And she went to all thework to figure out exactlywhat 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 inyear one of our relationship.And I actually used thesefor 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)- And that wasall that we needed to hear.- Yeah.- How much do you loveour pantry right now?- You're noteven 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 becausewe can't walk in our pantryand find things we need,every time we needsomething we go and buy it.- That's not even true.Be fair to us.There's not that muchduplicate stuff in here.I need all of these pickles, obviously.- Oh, my God!- Oh, my gosh!You're crushing things.And people always thought...Oh!Duke.- That wasn't my fault.- 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 supposedto 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 installedby the one and onlyBrian, the electrician?I remember, giving Briana hard time about this.Like stupid two by fourmount that he made for it.I was like, shouldn't we like do somethingthat'll look a little nicer?He's like, yeah, butyou'll paint it black.I didn't.Oh, here's a fun one.Guess what this line is?One day I was feeling ambitiousand I put badminton court lines,down on the floor and a net line.So that I could likepractice footwork in here.I used it, I think twice.Oh, hey, look,there's the Wii modes and stuff.- Yeah.- 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 orthat 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 mightbe 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.- Where did Dennisfall through the ceiling?- Oh, that's here.Wasn't it?- No, it's not.No, no.Dennis fell through the ceiling, here.- Hey editor, roll the clip.- Oh, God damn it, Dennis.- 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 sometimesthat 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 wardrobestore doesn't look like mine,just full LTT store, LTT store,then you're not doingit right, I'm afraid.My night stand's a fun one.This is where all the techthat 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 inthe middle of the nightand they're dead, then Ineed 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 doreally like this thing.They've got some,sounds like they've gotsome really cool stuffcoming as well.Hey, Brandon, check this out.This is that charger that we didthe very first short circuit on.So it's Apple Watch and then iPadand phone and AirPods.But, I took the,ah, there you go.I took the iPad one and Iput my erring charger on.So it just sits there I pop it on.And then, I've got the packagingfor one of these earphones.Other more different with this watchthat I wanted to try out for a little bit.Really wanted to try thisphone as a daily driver,never got around to it.Wanted to put this,wanted to use this doc andput this screen protectoron the Inneo, didn't do that.- This looks too stylish for you.- I know, right?- It's really nice.- Old Note 9, 'cause Ijust 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 infrastructureplan looked like,in the very early daysof being at the office.So whonnock, 24 SSD raid 51,that goes to editors,whatever the rest of this says.And then that wouldconstant 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 headphoneswhen 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 myeyes to be all overwhelmed.If it was an OLED and Icould turn it way down,I'd probably use it more.Oh, man, should we go up to the attic?That's probably the sketchiest upgradewe made to this house.Ironically, because of how recentlyit was completely redonewhen we put in the air conditioning,that was such a greatDIY project, by the way.It was a ton of work,but strongly recommend.We saved like 15 grand doing it ourselvesand it's been like--- It's been great, yeah.- It's been awesome.I think it's been one ofthe least controversial home upgradesthat I've actually made.- Okay.I think, the one thing thatwas really controversialwas 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 machinethat probably weighs about 250 pounds.That is sitting on the undersideof these, roof terraces.This is really not ideal.And we actually, put plywood downover almost the entire attic.That's why everything is spread out.'Cause we're trying to spread the load outas much as possible.But it's just like, onceyou've got three kidsand they do all thesedifferent activities and stuff.You've got equipment for this.And you've got jackets for that and.- So three kids worth of stuffis 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 keepenough sentimental stufffrom our relationship.Now today, she's like,oh, why do you have this case?That was like, thebiggest gift I got for youin our first couple of years.And why do you have,okay, that's probably the only thing to dowith our relationship.- Yeah.- Necessarily, but.- Oh, my gosh!Linus.- Okay, well that's broken.Ew, why did I keep my retainers?- Linus.- So Linus will keep threesets of his old retainersand won't keep sentimentalstuff 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 lotof reminders of how amazingyou are because I live with you every day,if you think of that.- We actually did duringthe first quarantinean entire video on allthe cool old tech Linushad 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 keptthat's to do with you.Remember, when you encouragedme to buy these shoes'cause you thought they were stylish?- I did not encourageyou 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 literallywalked out of the Paylessbecause he was in the women's sectionwanting to get these shoes.- Yeah, you were like, wow,can you believe these arein the clearance section?You should totally plan for this.- No, no.- I can't believe how muchtech stuff we've seen alreadyand we hadn't even made it intolike the computer room yet.Here's a fun one.This piece of plywood has beenhere for at least two years.I took it off the wall,of the world's mostcomfortable gaming setup.When we took down the world'smost comfortable gaming setupand turned this into theroom where we close the doorand do not look at the mess the kids made.I puttied the wall andintended to sand it downand paint over it and then never did it.And now, I like to not look in this roomand I like to close the door.Yvonne setup.I finally convinced her togo ultra wide years ago.She insisted for the longest timeon having like two small monitors.She was like, no, I'll get a headache.I'll get a headache.This keyboard is the one thatwe repaired recently actually.Sort of, we kind of brokethings and repaired it.As for my setup,there's some things that I have changedsince the last time you guys saw it.And there's some thingsthat I actually haven't.Sennheiser HD 600, those are still here.I tried swapping them out with the HD 8,ah, man, whatever the Mastroversion 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 backto smaller than 48 inch, which is tough.Because, the new QD OLED stufflooks absolutely amazing.That Alienware that wedid a video on recently,real, real tempting.Got a Stream Deck.Literally, never use it.You can see it's just got thelittle welcome thing up there.And Razor's Thunderbolt4 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 outthat it wasn't broken.Because I was trying, usingevery single back type C,I think there's like threeof them, as the uplink.'Cause I assume the front one was for,like, convenient front IO access.I never did properly figure out allthe cable management in here.This is really bad.My power bar is just hangingoff the bottom of the desk now.But I'm not gonna fix that.We're just gonna do it upright 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 reallygood 10 gig stuff now.So we're going almost fullUbiquiti at the new place.Ubiquiti PoE Switch.Ubiquiti, is this the Dream Machine?Yeah, this is the UDM-Pro.So we're gonna have prettysimilar gear at the new placeexcept like times three,because that place hasliterally kilometersof Cat6A cable in it.These personal rigsare gonna come for now.But I think, we're actuallygonna do a redesigned chassisthat's just way smarter, better front IO,better water cooling layout,like more compatible.And maybe this time aroundit'll be good enoughthat we'll be comfortablereleasing the design filesor who knows?If it's good enough,then maybe we'll do it.Maybe we'll do like arack mount gaming case.Partner with some kind of casemanufacturer 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 paintedfor us, by neighbor Steve.Who used to be our neighbornext to our office.He actually technicallystill our neighbor.The office he works in is just 25 secondsfarther away by foot.Also in here,we've got the Ultimater 2Extended that I definitely tookfrom the office to make flexy cats and--- Are those C-stands?- Sorry?- Yeah, so that was during the pandemicwhen we were filming a lot from home.Honestly, looking around allthe tech and reminiscing now,it feels so old.- It feels old.Pretty old.- Yeah.Like I just, I look atthings like the AC cassettes,even though that was only done like,you know, a year ortwo years ago and just,it looks so unprofessionalcompared to a lot of--- Hey.- Stuff that we've got going.- Well, you know, what'snot unprofessional?Telling the truth about our sponsor.OVHcloud.It's
