Linus has too many superpowers at this point. He's kind of overpowered. A dropping things power? A small hands power? A Youtube power? Owns a whole Office/warehouse worth more than my life? The devs need to nerf linus.

For anyone looking to do this at home (I might try this out once I move). You can buy something called a keystone adapter for USB3 that will allow you to properly mount in in an in-wall plate so you don't have to tuck tape one. Here's an example:

The magic of suspended ceilings! Really cool implementation and an amazingly clean result.

Wish I could justify the space in the home for VR

 

Would it be worth mounting everything in a cabling tray above the ceiling?

Unsupported cables suck in suspended ceilings if there's a fire.

 

Also get rid of that ethernet coupler and and get that AP wall mounted!

I know how light those Ubiquiti APs are! 3M command strips work wonders on IT gear.

How many people have drop ceilings at home?

 

I have an HTC Vive.  The HTC Vive light stations use normal DC wall plugs for power an communicate Wirelessly.  I was kind of surprised that the Oculus uses USB.  Is there any specific reason that they would  do this?

 

Standing on the top or second to top step of a ladder is a violation in every work place safety guideline that I know of.  It also should be written on a ladder.  You should have an 8ft ladder available because Linus is short.  Also don't stand backwards on a ladder turn it around and place the ladder between you and your work.

 

I refuse to believe that a professional Electrician installed that outlet in the ceiling.   It's shoddy to feed the metal clad cable from the bottom like that and, the cable itself is not appropriately supported.  Also the box itself seems kind of wobbly.

 

Finally a Pro Tip:  I your trying to fish a cable through a wall with insulation.  Cut the end off of  an old tape measure and slide it in.  It will be flexible and thin enough to slide between the sheet rock and insulation like butter.

I have an Occulus Rift three sensor setup. I have them mounted on the ceiling and all sensor cables hidden with cable channels. 

 

I have to say it looks like a good setup but I have a few issues.

 

1. Without the mirror display mounted to a wall, I can see a VR accident with it falling and breaking.

 

2. The VR headset HDMI and usb 3 wall plug should have been up high, just below the false ceiling. Then use VR zip lines to keep all cables above head, allowing for more freedom of mobility in VR. This is what I did for my setup. Maybe this can happen for a revision? I'd also put a hook on the ceiling so you can leave the VR headset plugged in all the time, but put away up high hanging on a few hooks.

The ambient above a grid ceiling is quite a bit warmer than below it. You're not doing yourself any favors in the long term.

Few to none.

 

USB doesn't experience much intereference.

That guideline is a joke. One can safely stand on that rung, provided they're not outright stupid.

 

Standing backwards isn't a big deal either, if you've got a half decent sense of balance.

Linus needs to bring in some acting coaches, get the on air talent up to snuff

[Dara Murph]

One question does anyone remember the PC that Linus used in this video
