0:00 Intro

[pratikthakur]

"Employer inspects houses of his employees to accuse them of theft, and offers $5000 as compensation"

[vesh]

Alex taking the biggest W's in existence today

[landobando]

“Don’t buy gaming stuff, just buy used music stuff”

NO DONT TELL THEM

[SubmaxSubrose]

"Dont get gaming stuff for audio, get used music stuff, the quality is incredible" as a person who works on the music recording world, that's absolutely true! (some expensive "gaming audio" stuff feels and sounds like a toy compared to even middle quality music-recording equipment) And I like how Alex spent part of his budget getting a laptop for his girlfriend :)

[sauganlama]

the best part of this series is everybody is overbudget and says "no" when asked !!

[AlLiberali]

Linus: Roasts Intel on a daily basis
Intel: Meh, whatever give this man money

[zodiacsoldier]

New episode of "Linus goes to employee's house to see what they stole."

[modernamericanpro]

I hope to someday get to the point where people say, “Having 8 hours of his time… so good!”

Such a compliment to have people find you that useful and valuable!

[atropa]

"Turns out, $5, 000 USD is a lot of money."
- Linus Sebastian, 2021

[FredHollingsworth]

"Don't get gaming stuff for audio, get used music stuff." As an audio engineer, I can confirm this is completely correct.

[kylehagertybanana]

alex always looks like he's afraid you're gonna find out his big secret

[TacticalFunnyMan]

"Who uses a keyboard drawer in 2021?"
*me in 2022 leaning on my keyboard drawer watching this video*

[OrenjiArms]

Upgrade: $5000
Linus’ time : priceless

For what money can’t buy there’s Intel

[kenzieduckmoo]

“We upgraded his house and then he moved” Linus says, as he’s currently in the process of moving to a new house after countless videos of him upgrading his house

[Zafiria]

"Dont get gaming stuff for audio, get used music stuff, the quality is incredible"

this is so true

[Sawta]

Man, I really can't get over how good that opening graphic is. The team did an absurdly good job on it!

[zedvallez]

"Turns out 5000$ is a lot of money"
Yes linus it's a lot.

[lu]

Linus: "If I had a PRICE LIMIT I would do..." Naturally flexing

[Tech-vdqs]

8:52
linus: "Who uses a keyboard drawer in 2021"
alex: "no one"

Me: quietly tucking my keyboard tray away

RF guy here! I am late to the party but I'll demystify the antenna orientation.

Antenna Interference: All mid to high end routers use multiple frequency bands (2.4G, 5G, etc), and each antenna will operate on a different frequency than the other (there are dozens of non-overlapping frequencies). Thus, they will not interfere with one another.

Antenna Angle: Each antenna has a beam pattern that looks like a donut radiating out from the stick (disregard high-end beam-forming routers for now). If want max coverage on one floor, keeping them vertical is ideal so the donut beam radiates in all directions parallel with the floor. The specific use case for tilting them is if you have a specific area on a different floor where you want a stronger signal. You would tilt the antenna so that the donut shape intersects with the area you're trying to strengthen, sacrificing some strength on the main floor.

If you have a router with beam forming you don't physically need to angle them to strengthen the signal. the router will electronically angle the radiated beam towards the device that connects to it.
