We got some upgrades for our editing workstations, and for some reason we let Dennis get his hands on the drill again...

 

[Aytex]

yay

[ThatOneRussian]

YASSSSS

[themaniac]

yes!!!!!

[Str_Mape]

I was mostly confused by people taking RAM out of the motherboards, what was the point when you have to put it back in anyway?

[007agentHP]

when will the vessel video be up?

[STRMfrmXMN]

when will the vessel video be up?

Pretty sure they're already up.

EDIT: Yep, up a week ago.

dont be a dick

probably sure you know i meant today's vessel video

[Guest]

Since when did you guys become "LMG Staff" and not admins? Can we get some pretty colours for your title so we can stalk you easier?

[doctorraichu]

I wonder how long Luke's penis is.

I wasn't trying to be a dick...? I was simply telling you I thought it was up a week ago and then edited in that it was. And no, I did not know that you were talking about today's Vessel video.

POGCHAMP

 

actually i saw this last week

[Deli]

I can't believe so many guys at Linus's group don't know how to build a pc.

 

One of the funniest videos for a long time. Two thumbs up.  :lol:

[TheGeeker]

Lol. Dis gonna be good.

Kind of Off-Top, does anyone remember what brand of desks they got for the office, the electrically standing/sitting ones. I assume whatever they got is offered in Canada.

[Agent181]

what the hell does dennis even do??? and why is he so lost in the background like WHY AM I HERE

They're called UpDesks! Awesome peeps over at that company and the desks are great too of course.

So are workstation GPUs not worth it for editing? Both companies seem to be making a big deal for Firepro or Quadro at in premier and at least in america the W7100 is cheaper than a titan X, dunno about the quadros. Also adobe seems to be supporting Open CL more than CUDA in recent years.

I think it depends on the programs that you use. The workstation GPUs are generally can't compare to the Gaming cards on performance in the same price range (That W7100 would get murdered by a Titan X). Gaming cards are good as cheap cards that put out a lot of power compared to workstation. I think Workstation cards only makes sense for editing if you're into 10 bit, need super stable cards, or need the extra GPU RAM. Personally, I wouldn't think workstation GPUs would be worth it unless you're handing ultra massive and high budget critical video editing.

 

In my case, I do blueprinting, and when I ran a gaming card for my program, I would get very strange artifacts (like walls going through roofs). I bought a FirePro V7900 and haven't had any issues since then (Well, except for AMD's driver installations giving me headaches). I think I might jump for a Quadro next, but the FirePros are so cheap for the performance in the workstation world.

LOL, is Linus the only competent PC builder there?

[Snadzies]

Scrap Yard Wars mini episode - Have the editing staff break into two teams and make them cobble together a computer from the spare parts around the office.

Teams would not be allowed to look at "How to build a PC" guides or consult Linus and Luke.

 

I think throwing them out into the world with a limited budget, while likely very amusing, would just be too much.

So the only people who actually know anything about Computer hardware are Luke and Linus? I would imagine alot of people who are really into hardware and computers in general would love to work there, but somehow you manage to hire all these people who dont actually know anything about it, and even worse, seem like they are totally uninterested (excluding the Camera crew ofcourse). Hearing that NickyV guy fail at building the PC and then dismissing every suggestion Linus makes actually pissed me off quite a bit.

 

Why dont you ask possible hires to build a PC (its not like your short on parts by the looks of your warehouse) when they come in for an interview?

Well to be fair, it'd be rather rare in the job of an editor/camera operator to have to build a system. This seems to be more of case that because they were so busy they got the editors to do the vast amount of the work to save on time.

 

EDIT - Also worth a mention is that the opposite applies. Linus works at a media production house and knows little about editing and camera work. 

[Dolenc]

What are you going to do with the watercooling gear?

[Jeemax]

Mind blown. Only 3-4 people know how build a PC. I know there is no need for them to know that, but they are dealing with PC parts every day and don't know how to put it all together?
