    15:35 I know exactly where that goes. I've been modding and replacing things in my Vita a lot lately. I've reopened that thing so many times. That piece is a bridge that helps screw down two motherboards. You use the blue tinted screws to secure it. The pink tinted screws go directly onto the motherboards while the plain silver ones are used for the chassis.

      @AlexChama 2 года назад +9

      I am also particularly happy that this gives me "OG LTT" vibes where Linus ACTUALLY doesn't just get clued in when everything is already done, and he only gets to demo the completed results. I fully understand that his role in the company has shifted, not the least due to the massive growth and simply not having the time, but it's just something I miss, that's all. Likewise, I don't even demand change, I am aware of the reality as it is, but boy am I glad to see a video like this again.
      Also, kick-ass interaction between the three.
      Another bonus is that this video is just "IDK if this will do well, let's put it up anyway". IMHO many videos these days have a very "algo-friendly" feeling and when I used to watch almost anything LTT put out these days most of the time I feel like I'll be offered the same topic at the same time by at least 5 different tech channels and whoever gets the cut into my recommendations is the one who tickled the algo the best or who I just happened to watch more of recently.
      Do you ever feel like... hey... whatever happened to xyz??? Then you go and check out their channel and see that they've been in full swing all this time ever since you last watched them and maybe even grew? That's a surreal experience. You can also replicate that by not going into home, but your subscriptions feed. Holy hell, to see YT without the recommendations facing you first but actually just a chronological stream of what you once said "I want to remember this channel" to is as wide apart an experience as can be.

    If you ever need to do bodge wires inside a small case like that again, see if you've got any IDE ribbons lying around. You can peel the wires apart pretty easily, and they're basically the thinnest wires you can solder by hand. They're so thin you don't even need to strip the ends, because the insulation will peel back enough just from the heat of soldering.

    • @cornholio1988
      @cornholio1988 Год назад +2

      I always use old ethernet cables (the individual wires, not as a whole). IDE ribbons seem to have quite thick isolation?!? A big plus of ethernet cables is that you have a bunch of colors ;-)

    • @tildessmoo
      @tildessmoo Год назад +1

      @@cornholio1988 IDE insulation is thicker than Ethernet insulation, but it melts/shrinks really easily. It's also convenient in that you're probably not doing anything else with it these days. That said, LTT does probably have a lot more spare Ethernet cable lying around, and the colors can be nice depending what you're doing; not sure how much it matters for bodge wires in a one-off, but very nice if you're doing a small run where you want to keep track of which modifications you're doing on each device. (Which is why, ironically, I would use IDE in Linus's case, but Ben Heckendorn, who gave me the idea in the first place, should probably be using Ethernet wires.)

    The shutterbug nerdout B- and C-team roster is getting incredibly good. So many great talents and personalities evolving 😃 A bit like with close friends and your household, watching "every day" you don't really notice the evolution that much - until these little moments when it really hits you. It's awesome, and knowing the growth that's going on these days means even more goodness is coming.
    And by B and C team I don't mean that in a "quality", personality or direct skill kind of way. It's just that the volume of _on-screen_ staff has grown *a lot (!)* the last couple of years. There's just so many of them now (and more are coming) that my head needs some means of categorizing them. Not sure where "the lines" go (on-screen frequency, "casting role", type and prominence of the videos etc), in my mind they're blurry and fluid at best. But that's not really important; it's just a cognitive overview aid 🙂
