being bold & not being afraid to experiment from a safe to fail perspective when doing new & intriguing things & not be afraid of technology no matter how expensive it is..,

Details separate people.

Well I already did this before I watched Linus, but I wear socks with sandals.

Yes, I have no girlfriend.

So many things I could write here... things like this.

"Do as we say, not as we do"

Tons of other ones that I have no hope of remembering right now because I don't remember that they came from Linus even though I'm sure the majority of them did.

Sig under construction.

How do you have weak hands? lol wat.

Are you implying that it's impossible for someone to have weak hands? Or possibly making fun of them for having weak hands?

Actually I look at that and think it's an old mechanics trick, just lock a monkey wrench or a pair of vice grips only a screw driver, and press

down hard.

I am aware of the faraday principle but according to Carey Holzman who has been in the industry for a little while now it won't damage anything though disregard the sink part of the video lol

 

EDIT:sniperino video

i actually tried it, the full grey bags arent conductive, but...

i tested one of these, and when measuring opposide sides of the bag, i measured 500k ohms, measuring 1mm apart, i measured 30k ohms.

probably too much for damage, but i'd say dont risk it, certainly not for a biscuit.

It is a good point but in all of the years I've done it I've never damaged any components due to placing them on the anti-static bag though most of the time I use the cardboard box. I needed to go out somewhere when I first got my £90 Gigabyte board that is in my sig, installed it and powered up without any issues.

Socks and sandals are godlike

Fixed that for you :P

 

I've learned basically everything about how to build a PC from watching LTT videos.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs

I too have learned so much from LTT and Tek Syndicate.  These two communities I love deeply.  The one true thing I learned most importantly from Linus:  21:9 is King.  And lord--I gotta get me one of them for my middle monitor.

Put the motherboard on the motherboard box. That's one of many from just Linus himself.

Nearly all the stuff I know about computers I've learned from LTT and the LTT community.

How to build a PC, and how much I've learned about general hardware since watching his videos. Really was the determining factor in convincing me to build a pc.
