Love it ... 20 minutes of Dan saying "ya, I didnt get that done", and "no, thats not done either" and "Ya, that failed"
... all the while seeing that Dan clearly didnt really panic too much.

Linus, we don't want you to lose money... we just want you to spend sponsor's money irresponsibly.

[andrewpaluka]

As a person that works in construction, it is entertaining to no end the amount of "well...their contract said they put it in the door, but not plug it in" and the classic "its not in the drawing, but i asked for it!" lol

[HollowdTV]

Before I quit to go back to school at 30 I drove a 22 foot truck around center city Philadelphia stocking vending machines and delivering office supplies. Yes, those shelves are heavy. Yes, they fall out of the machine all the time. And yes they have a cellular connection that communicates with the shop to record sales, make sure it’s always stocked, and like Linus said; they are crucial in tracking our commission we make on top of our hourly rate.

HVAC Design Engineer Here. Linus, the duct socks are great, we use them a lot for indoor pools and the like. But my suggestion, if you see this... You can spec them with an internal skeleton that keeps them "rigid" when there's no airflow. This prevents a lot of wear and tear on the product and helps for an even and smooth startup when the HVAC turns on/off. Relatively inexpensive.

[twinGeminis]

As a low voltage contractor, it honestly seems like this is going about as well as I’d expect any project this big to go. There’s always kinks in the plans but don’t give up!

[itmkoeln]

"A professional did that?!" - Yeah... "We should do that more often..."

Father and Son Dynamics...

[turambar]

Linus is what every community wants. Someone who is doing alright and actually trying to improve his community. I've heard all my life there's nothing to do anywhere. All places are like that. So good on Linus for actually trying to give people a place to go thats not a fast food place or similar. Hope it goes well.

Card payments are nice and all but a fully mechanical coin operated vending machine tucked away hidden somewhere in a high tech establishment would have been a pretty good easter egg.

[TheRogueBro]

For the digital signage, I actually run Windows computers behind my screens in kiosk mode. Then I set up a local web server and build a website for them and just have the kiosk refresh every 24 hours. That way if you need to update stuff you can do it fairly simply. Those digital signage software suites are usually pretty crappy

[madmax]

the voice from the drinking fountain is actually the soul of the building crying out in agony

[briansehovski]

Best statement this year.
“Which Paul brother is Prime?
Jake: Does it matter?

[tOSdude]

“It’s not in their contract to plug them in” is the most ‘Malicious Compliance’ thing I’ve seen on this channel.

[Zodaxa_zdx]

love how every frame of this video dan looks so emotionally full like they are about to be fired, but like is excited for it too
(never change your energy is great man)

[StonedSpagooter]

Started as a Security Tech recently and Access Control is basically the final boss

For many reasons it is a complete and total pain in the ass 9/10 times

[qwertyferix]

That observation deck is the perfect place to install a fire pole...
🧑🏼‍🚒

[BadmintonInsight]

They’re going to be some awesome courts!

Great choice on stringing machines too - we have the same one 😆

[MouseSPAL]

I like how this is true peak into running a small business; half flaming garbage fire, half ray of hope.

[ConnorBlackwood]

As a guy in AV integration, all the technical issues you're encountering are exactly the reason integrators exist. The number of times I've seen companies "buy the cheap option, it'll be fine" and it never is. Every dollar you save on the equipment you pay for in labor, and when you don't have integration experience that time can multiply exponentially.

[Javalar]

I work in the digital signage software business and the words "sync group" sent a chill down my spine, because that stuff is a real pain to implement.

Now, as for the audio, while I am not at all familiar with Xibo, I can think of a few good reasons why the audio wouldn't be synced, and it's probably just because trying to get a video to play at *exactly* the same time is a very hard problem (especially if the video is streamed rather than preloaded, due to buffering and such) and in most digital signage situations, it's not terribly necessary to get it *that* precise as the audio is usually turned off.

There's also the method the players use to know what content to play and when and tons of other factors. Let's just say that the closer you want the content to sync, the exponentially harder it gets to implement.
