if there ever is a technological apocalypse, we can head over to this guys house and see the steps that got us to where we were just before the collapse so we can fast forward our recovery
I think a big motivation for tech hoarding behavior is when you grow up with an interest in technology and being unable to afford it or are extremely restricted.
I can see that, I grew up in the 80s and 90s and loved tech....problem was my parents wouldn't spend money on it. Now that I can afford whatever I want, im constantly upgrading my rig with the latest and greatest. I've built computers for my kids and my wife. I feel like I'm catching up for all those years trying to get games to run on subpar equipment and failing miserably lol. I can see how tech hoarding can get out of control fast!
@@MrRay3801 quote: "im constantly upgrading my rig with the latest and greatest" nice. I'm going the opposite way. I'm buying old, cheap computers and modify them to try how much lower i can go in old technology and still make something work. Like "whats the oldest PC that can still run LOL at medium settings" or "whats the oldest PC that can still run a youtube-video" and so on. it's a fun hobby to play with tech 😜
@DMoney Industry you should meet my uncle, he has the bikes his kids used back in the 90s, cause someone might want them along with about 6-7 storage sheds of random crap that no one would ever want or need.
I'd like to note that the iPad 1 is specifically a 3g model that could be used over your cell network. The standard model did not have the black section on the back.

This video makes me reflect on how wonderful it was to grow up in the infancy of home computers. I'll never forget those days of endless 5-1/4 disks laying about everywhere.
I have a pretty much full closet of JUST random wires, Everything Ive ever bought that came with a cord/ charging cable then subsequently breaks, gets thrown away... No reason to throw the perfectly good wires out though lol!
@@skrounst Yup, I had a parallel printer cable splitter switch from 1996 that I kept until 2017. Finally threw it away then needed it for an ancient PC system I worked on.
If you're a tabletop gamer, any tablet is dope AF. "Yeah, I got my character sheet. Yeah I got my books." Except for the overly graphical RPGs. Then the older tablets gently weep.
The front plate that came off in his hand is a removable cover. It would be replaced with a optical drive, or one of those 5.25" drives he was talking about (720k was the size) Damn! I'm old Af! 😂
@@lindabryant2695 Don't feel too old, I still use 8" floppy drives. The very first computer I worked on was controlled by a valve system or better known as a Vacuum Tube computer, that was programmed through a Hollerith punch card system. No keyboards or monitors back then, and any mention of a mouse in those days meant you had a definite rodent problem!! We all thought of each progressive upgrade or new system as being cutting edge. Of course the newer generations laugh at us, just like their offspring will do at them! PS, The early 5 1/2" drives had a capacity of only 160 KB (single sided), 360 KB maximum in low density and 1.2 MB in high density came later. You might be getting mixed up with the initial 3.5 Drives, they were 720k capacity. Guess after saying all that if you are as old AF, II must be older than F%&k!!! LOL Have a great day!!
@@lindabryant2695 Actually, no, it was probably either 360 KB (double density) or 1.2 MB (high density). The 3.5" disks were 720KB (DD) or 1.44 MB (HD). By the time I got my first PC (486 SLC2/66, 4 MB RAM, 200 MB HD and a CD-ROM!) in 1994, 5.25" was generally dead, but I actually got one for it later on just to run old software with. Having said that, my "beast" blew my dad's 286 IBM PS/1 that he had gotten 4 years prior out of the water 😂 (not to mention those Apple II computers I used in grade school with Number Munchers and Oregon Trail). I might have a PC with an 8 core processor with 32 GB RAM and 20 TB in hard drive space now, but I do admit to missing the old days every now and then...
I was on my way to a mess like this, but thankfully, I threw it all out. I kept some small things for my little tech museum shelf, like a copy of OS2 Warp, and an 8" (yes, 8) floppy disc.
I teach... we are still using them. Windows 7 will barely run on them and our school wants to upgrade to Windows 10... without replacing/upgrading any hardware. Like, yeah, good luck boys.

Rewatching this video and the funniest part to me is at 3:33. You can tell Linus is a parent because he is unphased by the child seemingly PUSHING him out of the way. Thats the sign of a true dad.
The magnetics inside of the hard drives are definitely useful. In fact, I trashed about 20 old hard drives last year, after I disassembled them and took out all of neodymium magnets, which have been useful.
@@dayspoiler4608 Yea just be very careful about the poisonous beryllium oxide (the pink stuff) that sits very close. Break that or even touch it and you can get some very serious health problems. It'll probably spoil your day.
I had a bit newer one, you can print thousands of pages and it never runs out. Compared to the scam shit thats now in the printers i prefer this old ass printer than any epson using cyan to make you go bankrupt or yellow to put metadata on your prints
I just want to thank Brian for letting Linus and by proxy us into his life for this really cool tour of his computer hoard. Brian seems like a good dude.
@@m.wajihuddinkhan1857 remember that old tech warehouse that was shutting down and LGR got a chance to go through the stuff with some other people for about a day or so? This would be a mini version of that :D
Excluding the RS Model 4P and TV connected computers, I started with two 386SX PCs i got from the base aafes for $200 not working. I got one working, shipped the other to packard bell for warranty return. Sold one for $600. Over the years I kept all my upgrades starting around the first Athlon. Doesn't even fill a reach in closet. After watching this video might get an old one running capable of installing those awesome Jane's flight sims from the 90s.... still have them all! Will need a month to read the flight manual for Jane's F15.
Same! And I'm only 28! I've inherited much of the collection from my father but I remember a lot of the family tech equipment from around 94 and on. My brother and I would get the hand-me-down machines when my father would upgrade to the newest models for himself. Since we were gaming on these we became little experts at squeezing performance out of hardware from a young age. Random, mostly useless skill, but I save tonnes of $ on gaming hardware to this day because of it. Lol
As much as i remember watching this video years ago, and just finding it really comical, i gotta say, kudos to brian for eeking out every last bit of utility from a lot of those devices and avoiding more e waste :)
@Kevin Peralta Thats true. But its better to use a single device you bought new longer before you get a new device. Like i usually use a Smartphone 4 years. Or i like to buy quality Gear for my PC like good Headphones that are actually repairable (Beyerdynamic DT Series) But Hoarding Electronics doesnt help against e-waste.

my thoughts exactly
I think a big motivation for tech hoarding behavior is when you grow up with an interest in technology and being unable to afford it or are extremely restricted.
I can see that, I grew up in the 80s and 90s and loved tech....problem was my parents wouldn't spend money on it. Now that I can afford whatever I want, im constantly upgrading my rig with the latest and greatest. I've built computers for my kids and my wife. I feel like I'm catching up for all those years trying to get games to run on subpar equipment and failing miserably lol. I can see how tech hoarding can get out of control fast!
i think im gonna grow upo to be a tech hoarder
you just described my situation
oh no
@@MrRay3801 quote: "im constantly upgrading my rig with the latest and greatest"
nice. I'm going the opposite way. I'm buying old, cheap computers and modify them to try how much lower i can go in old technology and still make something work. Like "whats the oldest PC that can still run LOL at medium settings" or "whats the oldest PC that can still run a youtube-video" and so on. it's a fun hobby to play with tech 😜

The front plate that came off in his hand is a removable cover. It would be replaced with a optical drive, or one of those 5.25" drives he was talking about (720k was the size)
Damn! I'm old Af! 😂
@@lindabryant2695 Don't feel too old, I still use 8" floppy drives. The very first computer I worked on was controlled by a valve system or better known as a Vacuum Tube computer, that was programmed through a Hollerith punch card system. No keyboards or monitors back then, and any mention of a mouse in those days meant you had a definite rodent problem!! We all thought of each progressive upgrade or new system as being cutting edge. Of course the newer generations laugh at us, just like their offspring will do at them! PS, The early 5 1/2" drives had a capacity of only 160 KB (single sided), 360 KB maximum in low density and 1.2 MB in high density came later. You might be getting mixed up with the initial 3.5 Drives, they were 720k capacity. Guess after saying all that if you are as old AF, II must be older than F%&k!!! LOL Have a great day!!
@@lindabryant2695 Actually, no, it was probably either 360 KB (double density) or 1.2 MB (high density). The 3.5" disks were 720KB (DD) or 1.44 MB (HD). By the time I got my first PC (486 SLC2/66, 4 MB RAM, 200 MB HD and a CD-ROM!) in 1994, 5.25" was generally dead, but I actually got one for it later on just to run old software with. Having said that, my "beast" blew my dad's 286 IBM PS/1 that he had gotten 4 years prior out of the water 😂 (not to mention those Apple II computers I used in grade school with Number Munchers and Oregon Trail). I might have a PC with an 8 core processor with 32 GB RAM and 20 TB in hard drive space now, but I do admit to missing the old days every now and then...

Same! And I'm only 28! I've inherited much of the collection from my father but I remember a lot of the family tech equipment from around 94 and on. My brother and I would get the hand-me-down machines when my father would upgrade to the newest models for himself. Since we were gaming on these we became little experts at squeezing performance out of hardware from a young age. Random, mostly useless skill, but I save tonnes of $ on gaming hardware to this day because of it. Lol
