Over 4 Hours of Gaming On Cursed Devices to Conk Out To

0:03 I don't understand.

0:05 What has my life come to?

0:07 It seems like whatever I do, wherever I go,

0:10 something keeps giving me a new kind of head trauma.

0:13 I'm not the kind of person that is always getting injured.

0:15 This is not my life.

0:17 I don't do anything but stay in the house

0:19 and manifest purgatory for unsuspecting electronic devices.

0:24 It's almost as if my life has been reduced down to a bit in a YouTube video.

0:32 remember this?

0:35 Oh, you don't remember this?

0:38 Well, I guess that makes sense cuz you didn't grow up in China in the 2000s.

0:42 And those of you who do know what this is,

0:44 what do you think you really know, do you?

0:46 All right, fine.

0:47 I'll wait.

0:48 Go ahead and recite an entire did you know gaming video.

0:51 I want to hear more about the IQ.

0:52 Come on, let's go.

0:54 Oh, wait.

0:54 You You want You want me to do it?

0:56 You want me to tell you about the IQ?

0:59 Okay, fine.

1:00 Well, this one's fake.

1:01 You can do some crazy[ __] with the 3D printer nowadays.

1:05 Look at this.

1:06 Six figures of industrial machinery versus a few bucks at AliExpress.

1:11 So, what this is a replica of is the Nintendo IQ player.

1:15 It was a Nintendo 64 in a controller.

1:18 It was only released in China for some reason.

1:22 You would plug an AV cable right in there, connect it to your Chinese CRT TV,

1:26 and then you could play Chinese Zelda and Chinese

1:30 Mario and Chinese a bunch of other stuff.

1:32 Why am I even telling you about it?

1:34 [music] Well, dear viewer, the IQ player has been reborn.

1:44 Hazardous radiation detected.

1:46 I have been patiently waiting for a long time for this.

1:50 Allow me to introduce the tech.

1:55 What the the Techno Pocket Go, a new game wonderland.

2:01 Wow, the camera does not like this box.

2:04 Okay, well, let's get the box out of here.

2:06 I asked Techno, the maker of this thing, if they would give me this for free.

2:12 In fact, I practically demanded it.

2:14 Tell them at gunpoint.

2:15 They had no choice.

2:17 Supposedly, it is the smallest Windows PC handheld.

2:20 And uh after today, uh that's only going to be partially true.

2:24 Connect any phone with type-C.

2:26 I think they are referring to the AR glasses.

2:30 Wait a second.

2:30 [laughter] AR Galses.

2:33 AR.

2:34 Yeah, AR Gals.

2:36 Oh my god.

2:38 I really hope they double down on Gauses and we see Gauses written everywhere.

2:42 God, that would be so funny.

2:44 While personally I am a big fan of Gals's,

2:47 Techno did want me to let you guys know that this packaging is not final.

2:50 Gals's will be corrected for retail packaging.

2:53 Boundless 6D immersion vision track technology

2:57 0 to 600 degree diaper adjustment.

3:01 So Techno, I believe they make phones.

3:04 I don't really know if they have much of a presence here in the US, though.

3:07 All right, let's see.

3:08 Here's their website.

3:09 Say I wanted a Camon.

3:12 I'm really into that 30S Pro.

3:14 All right, Techno, close the deal.

3:16 How do I get it?

3:17 Oh, from[ __] Teeu.

3:20 Okay, this seems like a very real phone

3:24 that does not infringe on anyone in particular's copyright.

3:28 Okay, actually, this appears to have been a real thing.

3:31 I thought they just completely ripped off Transformers for some reason,

3:35 but no, this is legit.

3:37 Oh, the dream of the Gausses is dead.

3:40 There it is.

3:40 Glasses.

3:41 Ah, so I believe the whole idea with this thing

3:45 is that it these are kind of together.

3:48 You are intended to use the AR glasses with the controller/computer.

3:53 Can you see how this is coming back to the IQ now?

3:56 Me when I finally unbox my Gausses.

3:59 They are very tight.

4:00 I do not think they were made for my giant American watermelon of a head.

4:05 This is kind of weird.

4:06 They just stacked up a bunch of like little foam pads or something.

4:12 I wonder if that's what's keeping the the visor thing on.

4:16 Well, they said you can connect this to any type-C phone.

4:20 Oh, [laughter] the adjustment is probably just off,

4:24 but currently all I could see was just two copies of my phone.

4:28 They weren't like merging into one.

4:30 Let me see if I can fix that.

4:31 Okay, so it it does work.

4:34 Uh, it just feels like the picture is extremely close to my eyes

4:38 and it kind of hurts to focus on and the speakers are um,

4:42 well, they're functional.

4:44 It's Yeah, it's, you know,

4:47 it's very difficult to try and show you guys what's happening cuz,

4:50 you know, how the heck am I supposed to film this?

4:52 Okay.

4:52 Well, how about the thing that I can film?

4:55 How about smallest PC handheld cross device linking?

4:59 In the industry, we call this a spookle pocket.

5:03 Go.

5:04 I don't know whose pocket this is intended to be fitting in.

5:07 It's not exactly tiny.

5:11 Oh my god.

5:13 Okay, this is sick.

5:14 Admittedly, it does kind of smell like Sharpies.

5:17 I thought that this felt kind of light when I took it out,

5:20 but I guess that's because it has this gigantic removable battery.

5:24 High energy density battery.

5:26 50 W hours.

5:29 Is that a lot?

5:30 Okay.

5:30 Well, the Steam Deck battery is 40 W hours.

5:33 So, this is 10 more of those.

5:35 I like that it's removable.

5:36 I really like that cuz in theory then you could get a second one and then

5:40 you could get a dedicated charger and then you'd never have to stop gaming ever.

5:44 You just get your Techno, do a little bit of a tactical reload here,

5:48 slap that cover back on, and you're ready to game once again.

5:52 All right, Techno, I'm listening.

5:54 I'm excited.

5:55 There is also a admittedly very fancy USB cable.

6:00 I really hope this is like actually good cuz I've come across a lot

6:03 of nice USB cables in my time that were only good for charging.

6:07 This is not a USB 2 household.

6:12 [cheering] It has a very um Xbox 360 D-pad.

6:20 I don't really say that in a nice way.

6:22 The absolute height of this boy.

6:26 Yeah, it's a bit floaty.

6:28 The triggers are very chunky.

6:30 I like the triggers.

6:31 What the heck?

6:32 These are actually humongous.

6:33 Look at all the travel.

6:34 This thing can go to another continent.

6:38 Oh, well, that was the power button.

6:40 So, did I turn it on?

6:41 I don't hear the fan.

6:43 Yeah, there's a fan.

6:44 Remember, this is an entire PC.

6:46 This is just built for the gamer that's like, you know,

6:48 I really like holding a controller,

6:50 but I really wish I was also holding a knuck.

6:53 So many mysterious buttons.

6:56 Hold on a second.

6:57 Is that the Ubuntu button?

6:59 Coincidence?

7:01 I don't know.

7:03 Yeah, I really don't know about the naming pocket go.

7:06 This is not pocketable.

7:08 It is not.

7:09 Could you put this in your pocket?

7:12 No.

7:13 Okay.

7:13 Well, could you put this in your pocket?

7:16 You know I don't leave the house without that thing on me.

7:19 The techno prison pocket go.

7:22 All right, Techno.

7:23 Let's see what you got.

7:25 Oh, she's ready.

7:26 Hear that?

7:27 Raw gaming power.

7:30 Well, it does appear to be computing.

7:32 I guess we should probably plug in a display.

7:35 One HDMI adapter later.

7:37 And what?

7:41 No, they they didn't.

7:44 There's no way.

7:46 No way, dude.

7:48 Look at this.

7:48 They didn't even bother to rename this one.

7:51 No way.

7:52 I have to try.

7:53 There's no way, dude.

7:56 No way.

7:58 I need to know.

7:59 Please.

8:00 They can't just be that brazen.

8:02 There's no There's no way.

8:05 WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

8:06 You can't do that.

8:08 You can't.

8:09 You cannot do that.

8:11 Okay.

8:13 Well, why am I reacting like this?

8:16 Well, for one, these are straight up pirated games.

8:19 These are not GOG games.

8:21 These are cracks.

8:27 [music] And two, legal and ethical issues aside,

8:31 running cracked games lets you play them without

8:33 any kind of DRM or antiche for that matter.

8:35 And without those running in the background, in some cases,

8:38 the games can run much better, which is great,

8:42 except not on a device that was sent out for the sole

8:45 purpose of showing potential customers how this thing is expected to perform.

8:49 Every review that evaluates the performance

8:50 of the Pocket Go based on these included

8:53 games has the potential to overrepresent what this thing can actually do.

8:58 And sure, running without DRM is probably only going

9:01 to gain you like a couple FPS, if anything.

9:04 But apart from having no DRM,

9:06 I also have no way of knowing if Techno messed with these game installs

9:09 by adding things like performance mods

9:11 or custom configs to gain an unfair advantage.

9:14 I'm not saying that's what's happening.

9:17 I'm just saying it's possible and it would not surprise me.

9:21 And to properly find out, I'd have to test all of the included versions

9:24 of each game side by side with the official versions.

9:27 And that sounds annoying to do and this video will be boring

9:30 and it's just not what you want out of a Bringus video anyway.

9:33 You want to see this.

9:34 Oh, you got to be kidding me.

9:36 That's another crash, ladies and gentlemen.

9:40 Press pee pe button now.

9:41 This thing doesn't have genitals.

9:44 OH MY DUDE, STOP.

9:47 WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

9:49 I'm no reviewer.

9:50 Reviewing is not what I do.

9:52 I am going to show you some gameplay later to show

9:54 you generally what this thing can do in Steam OS.

9:57 But if you want a detailed analytical look at this thing,

10:00 well, normally I'd suggest someone for you to go watch,

10:03 but I don't know who did and who

10:05 didn't use these included games in their testing.

10:07 So, I guess if you want to see a proper review of this thing,

10:09 then you can go[ __] watch ETA Prime's video.

10:12 All the games he tested were not the included ones except for one.

10:15 He did test Forza Horizon 5.

10:17 Everything else was other games.

10:19 Anyway, on with the video, which remember is not a review.

10:24 All right.

10:24 Thank you, Techno.

10:26 I'm sure your software is fine and very usable.

10:29 I can download the no upgrade.

10:35 Nice.

10:35 I love downloading nothing.

10:37 This has Call of Duty Advanced Warfare.

10:42 Oh.

10:44 Oh, dude.

10:45 You can take the device out of China,

10:48 but you can't take the china out of the device.

10:51 Okay.

10:52 All right.

10:52 Well, I got the dirty cherry keyboard out a little prematurely because I do want

10:57 to take it apart and see if we can see what makes the techno tick.

11:02 However, if it looks like that I'm not going

11:03 to be able to take it apart without causing irreparable harm,

11:07 I'm going to have to throw in the towel pretty

11:08 quick because I I really don't want to break it.

11:12 Not interested in that.

11:13 Okay.

11:14 What are the odds we have screws?

11:16 Four of them right under the battery.

11:18 So, what does removing those four screws allow me to do?

11:24 I'm spooked.

11:26 It's not like there's an I fix it tutorial for this.

11:28 I don't know how it comes apart.

11:30 Yeah, I don't know about this one.

11:33 I can't seem to figure it out.

11:35 And I'm I'm going to cause irreparable harm.

11:37 That's just a guarantee.

11:38 All right.

11:39 Screws are going back in.

11:40 I've wasted enough of your time.

11:42 I know what you're here for.

11:44 Techno, meet Basite.

11:48 I've been told a lot of you enjoy this particular sound bite,

11:51 so we'll indulge once more.

11:54 Basite.

11:54 Basite.

11:55 Basite.

11:56 Basite.

11:57 Oh my god, that dude puts Microsoft Sam to shame for creepiest text to speech.

12:03 Basite.

12:04 Welcome to Basite Deck 40.

12:06 It's been a while.

12:07 Basite.

12:08 Basite is a Steam Deck like operating system good for Steam Deck like devices.

12:14 I think you could consider this thing a Steam Deck like device.

12:17 A screenless, [music] touchpadless Steam Deck thing.

12:21 I just don't really like Windows.

12:24 Wait.

12:26 Huh?

12:27 Oh, okay.

12:30 I don't really like Windows, I say.

12:31 as Linux shits itself.

12:34 [music] [music] I think I tried to delete

12:41 the partition that Basite was on on the flash drive.

12:44 Oh, [laughter] yep.

12:47 She gone.

12:48 All right, one moment while I remake my Basite installer.

12:54 [music] All right, what if we didn't immediately click through this?

13:00 Okay, just the PCIe SSD.

13:03 And that should be it.

13:05 Done.

13:05 Reclaim space.

13:07 Last time I hit delete all,

13:09 but that might not have been the [music] right thing to do.

13:12 Just under this SSD.

13:15 Delete.

13:15 And that should do it.

13:16 We're not touching the flash drive.

13:18 I don't even know where the flash drive is.

13:20 Reclaim.

13:21 Okay.

13:22 Begin installation.

13:23 [music][ __] What are you so mad about?

13:27 The flash drive is still there.

13:28 Look.

13:28 SDA.

13:29 All right.

13:30 All right, we're going to go on a slight detour.

13:32 Goodbye, Bazite.

13:33 Hello, Mini Tool.

13:35 Turn on.

13:36 I'm going to just erase this entire SSD.

13:39 Goodbye.

13:40 Apply.

13:41 See you later.

13:42 We'll get out of here.

13:43 Goodbye, Mini Tool.

13:45 Welcome back, Bazite.

13:47 One more time, little buddy.

13:49 476 GB free.

13:51 You cannot possibly be mad now.

13:53 Begin.

13:55 There we go.

13:56 Bimbindo.

14:01 Huh.

14:02 This is going to be a problem.

14:05 Okay.

14:06 Well, uh, that's going to be a later problem.

14:09 Don't mind the fact that that could ruin this entire thing.

14:12 We'll just keep going with mouse and keyboard.

14:14 How about that?

14:14 Well, we did it.

14:16 We've got Steam OS.

14:18 But does it really matter if the controller does not work?

14:23 Cuz currently it just makes this a very strangely shaped mini PC.

14:28 So depending on who you are,

14:29 this is either going to be good news or very bad news,

14:32 but we're going to have to mess around in Linux.

14:35 [screaming] It appears that Techno connected the controller over USB.

14:39 There it is right there.

14:40 Techno controller.

14:41 However, uh I think they probably did not do it

14:44 in a way like a normal controller cuz look at that.

14:48 Gamepad tester does not see it.

14:50 It appears to be USB HID.

14:53 At least that's a standard of some kind.

14:55 Basite has this thing called [music] input remapper built into it and I

14:59 believe we can use it to remap the controller to be an actual controller.

15:04 Oh, technocontroller mouse.

15:06 Uh, sure.

15:08 Okay, it's recording up.

15:12 Nothing.

15:13 Nothing.

15:14 Nothing at all.

15:15 Okay, very good.

15:18 Uh, what if it's this keyboard up?

15:22 No, it's not the keyboard.

15:23 Does this program work at all?

15:25 All right.

15:26 Cherry keyboard record F.

15:28 That was D, but it works.

15:31 So, what the heck?

15:35 Okay, how about we try this other slightly more different tool.

15:38 Handheld Damon is a project that aims

15:40 to provide utilities for managing handheld devices.

15:43 I would love my handheld device managed right about now.

15:47 Welcome to the handheld Damon configurator.

15:49 This is an app you can use to configure your device.

15:51 With default settings, you need to enter a security token.

15:54 This token can be found below.

15:56 Okay.

15:57 So, I just copy this and then we paste it in the terminal, I imagine.

16:02 Oh, no such file or directory.

16:04 That's one hell of a token.

16:07 Connect.

16:07 Could not connect.

16:08 Is handheld Damon running?

16:10 I don't know.

16:11 Why are you asking me?

16:13 You're the handheld Damon.

16:14 They're not.

16:15 Oh my god.

16:22 Good afternoon.

16:24 Local dumb complains about an unreleased gaming handheld

16:28 not fully working on his obscure operating system.

16:31 Early reports indicate that Discord user on Theus from the Universal Blue

16:35 Discord server was able to restore

16:37 controller functionality using their Linux[ __] skills.

16:40 fixes are expected to be pushed upstream to Basite so

16:43 that prospective technopet go buyers who wish to install this OS which

16:48 I'm sure is a demographic of people that surely exists

16:51 and rest easy knowing that their stupid computer thing should just work.

16:56 Ain't it a beautiful thing?

16:57 No dirty cherry keyboard required.

17:00 And Techno actually did something that makes me very happy.

17:03 They put extra buttons on this thing cuz you

17:06 got start and select or whichever one those are nowadays.

17:09 But then under that, you got this one,

17:11 which does what the Steam Deck does when you hit its left button.

17:14 And then you got this one,

17:16 which also does the thing that the Steam Deck does with its right button.

17:19 But also, we've got a center button.

17:21 The Steam Deck does not have a center button,

17:23 but when we hit it, we get this nifty little menu.

17:28 This is like a special Bazite only thing.

17:30 I already absolutely cranked the TDP, but this lets us do some wacky

17:34 stuff like choose which controller we're emulating.

17:36 This thing actually has a gyro in it.

17:38 So, I chose Dual Sense.

17:40 Remember the Ubuntu button?

17:41 You hit that.

17:44 Oh, we have to be in a game for that.

17:46 Hold on.

17:46 Okay, now that we're in game, watch this.

17:48 Hit the button.

17:49 Bam.

17:50 We get a keyboard.

17:51 I think you can replicate that by just doing this.

17:53 Yeah.

17:54 Okay.

17:54 Well, it's a one less thing you got to hit.

17:57 That's a win in my lazy book.

17:59 Quality ultra 1080p.

18:01 No VSYNC.

18:02 Motion blur long.

18:05 Yeah, my motion blur is about that long, too.

18:08 This controller rumble is horrific.

18:12 You guys got to hear this.

18:18 Okay, I put it on the table to amplify it.

18:20 Just listen to this.

18:32 It's like clicking.

18:33 It feels like there's probably really big rumble motors in there

18:37 and they're just having a hard time spinning up really quickly or something.

18:40 I don't know.

18:41 It's just these giant quick impacts.

18:43 They're so loud.

18:46 It's running all right though.

18:47 It's doing the thing that this game kind of just does

18:49 where every once in a while it has a terrible slowdown,

18:53 but you know, the exact same issue happens

18:55 on my Steam Deck and on my living room PC.

18:58 So maybe this game just doesn't like Linux.

19:00 I don't know.

19:00 For the most part, it runs fine though.

19:02 Oh, I didn't even tell you guys what the CPU and GPU is on this thing.

19:07 Remember what I said about how I'm not a reviewer?

19:09 Yeah, this is what I mean.

19:10 [laughter] I am determined to not use a keyboard.

19:14 Neofetch.

19:16 Aren't you not supposed to use Neo Fetch anymore?

19:18 Didn't the developer abandon it to go run like a farm or something?

19:22 I don't I don't I don't even know if that's true, but that's what I was told.

19:25 It is a Ryzen 7 8840U with Radeon 780M graphics.

19:31 sees 16 11.46 GB of RAM.

19:34 I'm guessing that that is 16 GB, but some of it is shared with the GPU.

19:39 They do actually have a 32 gig model of this thing,

19:42 but that is not the one they sent over.

19:44 GTA 5 1080p.

19:46 We're going to be reasonable with the anti-aliasing this time and just do FXA.

19:53 Every time I go into either graphics Well, no.

19:57 What's happening?

19:57 If I go between these, I have to apply it every time.

20:01 I'm not even changing anything.

20:03 All right, we're cranking it very high.

20:05 Very high.

20:06 Very ultra AMD ch.

20:09 Who would have guessed modern top-of-the-line computer thing plays game good?

20:14 I swear I have more fun playing on the I hate to plagiarize,

20:18 but the nuggets than I do on this high-powered stuff.

20:22 Like, yes, it is objectively impressive.

20:24 This is an iGPU with like a laptop CPU essentially,

20:28 but it's just it's not screaming.

20:30 It's not an agonizing pain.

20:32 I feel like if I don't get my torture fixed,

20:34 I'm going to have to move on to torturing something else.

20:36 And torturing people is not legal.

20:38 All right.

20:38 I don't want to be reasonable anymore.

20:40 MSAA 8X apply.

20:44 It doesn't care.

20:46 It is telling me to take my 8x MSAA right now

20:49 and shove it up my Doom Eternal 1080p, no VSync, no HDR.

20:54 What?

20:54 Do I look like I can afford that?

20:55 Ultra Nightmare motion blur.

20:58 I feel like you guys are going to love that one.

21:00 Ray tracing.

21:01 We're going to leave that off.

21:02 We'll come back to that later.

21:03 Overall quality ultra nightmare.

21:05 And I think that should do it.

21:07 Wow.

21:08 Nearly 60 fps on ultra nightmare on an integrated laptop GPU.

21:14 10 years ago, I would have called you insane.

21:16 I would tell you it is simply not possible.

21:19 Yet, here we are.

21:20 All right, I want ray tracing.

21:22 It's not doing great.

21:24 I mean, actually, it kind of is.

21:27 Keeping the fact that this is an iGPU in my brain.

21:30 You know what?

21:31 30 40 fps ray tracing enabled ultra nightmare.

21:35 Honestly, this might be more of a testament

21:36 to ID's optimization than anything else.

21:39 Oh, evil boy.

21:40 Evil boy.

21:41 This game was not made for controllers.

21:44 This is just ridiculous.

21:45 Hold on.

21:46 I want to go all low.

21:47 What is it going to report for frame rate at all low?

21:51 Why is everything locked to 60?

21:53 Disable frame limit.

21:55 There we go.

21:56 Well, now I feel like a bozo.

21:58 Okay, so like 80 90 FPS.

22:00 This is all low.

22:01 Ray tracing off.

22:02 I will be honest with you, I do not notice a change in quality.

22:06 Modern games just look so good anyway.

22:08 It's like I'd rather play a game like this than

22:10 use the whatever fancy scaling technology that they're doing nowadays.

22:15 DLSS, FSR.

22:17 What does FSR even stand for?

22:20 Failure to simply Failure to simply render.

22:26 That's what Okay, so you've seen what it can do.

22:29 But a device like this, it transcends simply performance.

22:33 It transcends benchmarks.

22:35 It transcends FPS.

22:37 This thing has gaming potential like you've never even thought of.

22:42 You can game on your TV wirelessly over Steam Link.

22:46 And when the connection starts to crap out,

22:47 you can dig out an HDMI cable and use that instead.

22:51 You can play using a tablet as the screen over Steam Link.

22:54 And when the connection starts to crap out this time,

22:56 you can just go[ __] yourself.

22:57 Well, I can't just Nope, you can't do that.

23:00 You can play it with a competitor's AR

23:02 glasses because the included ones really aren't that great.

23:04 You can play it on your smartwatch over

23:06 Steam Link and then when that's too small,

23:09 you can put it under a microscope and play it that way.

23:12 And when that starts to suck really bad,

23:14 just plug it RIGHT INTO THE MICROSCOPE AND PLAY IT THAT WAY.

23:16 Shout out to the iPad [music] for letting me output video over Type-C

23:20 to a dock and then into a capture card and then into the iPad.

23:24 Got to be one of my favorite ways to play Bellatro.

23:28 But truly, the best way to game with the Pocket Go.

23:32 One moment while I assemble it.

23:35 [laughter] [laughter] What do you get when you combine Pocket Go

23:47 with a display that's not going to fit into literally anybody's pocket?

23:52 10.1 in of gaming.

23:55 You can't even fit that much gaming.

23:58 Look at that.

23:59 Unfortunately, my right angle USB adapter did not

24:01 come in time for this video, so that's there.

24:05 But this thing, it it's truly incredible.

24:07 I have spent a couple hours playing it like this, and this is

24:11 far and away the best way to play this thing.

24:14 Don't mind the fact that the battery life is now like less than 2 hours.

24:18 Look at this.

24:18 Look how this is put together.

24:19 It's only mildly a disaster.

24:21 And look at that.

24:22 We still got a free Type-C port.

24:24 We're just using one type-C port into the dock.

24:26 The dock is powering the monitor.

24:28 The dock is outputting HDMI.

24:30 What else do you need?

24:32 Nothing.

24:33 And the center of mass on this thing.

24:35 Look at this.

24:35 It's not even like it's fine.

24:38 It does not feel too topheavy.

24:40 I'm going to link this monitor in the description.

24:42 It's just a little portable monitor I got off of Amazon.

24:45 But this thing is amazing.

24:46 The colors on it are fantastic.

24:48 The pixel density is fantastic.

24:51 What is it?

24:51 It's kind of a weird one.

24:53 1920x 1280.

24:55 I think that's like 3x two.

24:57 Yes, some games get a little bit weird with that resolution,

25:00 but you can always just fall back to 1080p.

25:02 The whole thing is bolted together with this chassity cage thing that I made.

25:06 It only slightly blocks the vent.

25:08 There is truly Oh, wait.

25:10 Hold on.

25:10 Let me get the lights.

25:12 There is truly nothing better than this.

25:14 It might not have trackpads.

25:16 It might not have a touchcreen.

25:18 It might have a highly questionable battery life.

25:20 But you know what?

25:21 If you just want a massive screen

25:24 and powerful hardware to boot, this is it, baby.

25:27 This is it.

25:28 I think 1X players got a thing kind of like

25:30 that, but less uh this, but I like mine better.

25:34 I have to say that for its self-esteem.

25:37 All right, I think that's going to be it.

25:39 Thank you, Techno, for sending this thing over.

25:41 Thank you you for watching this.

25:43 And thank you supporters who should be on the screen right about now.

25:50 begun.

25:51 The ram wars have.

25:52 Every last grain of sand has been drafted into the cause.

25:55 They told them that their sacrifice would be noble,

25:58 that a chance like this only comes

25:59 around once in a three-year product life cycle.

26:02 Consumers watched as young, hopeful RAM sticks left their new egg carts,

26:06 leaving behind nothing but empty dim slots in their homes.

26:09 I was in love with him from the day I first saw his big,

26:12 beautiful RGB strips staring back at me, a mother said.

26:15 I was going to teach him to overclock,

26:17 how to live with his neighbors in dual channel,

26:19 when to correct a bit flip, and when to just let it go.

26:22 But serving your data center is more important

26:24 than any of that, the young dim thought.

26:26 I've heard the shareholders.

26:28 I understand what's at stake for them.

26:29 I have to do my part in advancing human

26:32 society to secure the future of the Silicon people.

26:35 But deep down, he knew that there was still something weighing on his mind.

26:39 As the businessman at the Micron factory secured his batch for the war effort,

26:43 he couldn't help but have one last thought about

26:45 the woman peering longingly at him through [music] her screen.

26:48 Maybe someday, maybe in another life,

26:51 I would love to be at home opening cases with you.

27:00 [music] As gamers tried to move on from their grief,

27:08 one question still remained.

27:10 If we can't pay the cost to keep our motherboards populated,

27:14 with [music] what will we possibly game on?

27:21 That was probably better than nothing.

27:23 So, this is not really something that Arduino usually makes.

27:27 Usually, they make these.

27:29 And now that I'm thinking about it,

27:30 I don't think this comparison was very helpful.

27:32 Hold on, let's open it up.

27:33 The typical regular Arduinos are what you would call a microcontroller.

27:37 You plug wires into these things and then

27:39 you plug those into motors or LEDs or whatever.

27:42 You write some basic code for it.

27:44 They can do all kinds of fun stuff.

27:45 I wonder if it supports fire, but a typical computer, it is not.

27:50 Not in the way you and I think about computers.

27:52 The new one, on the other hand, will you see that?

27:55 Qualcomm.

27:57 Been hearing a lot about Qualcomm recently.

28:00 Qualcomm Qualcomm laptop.

28:01 Steam frame is powered by Qualcomm.

28:03 Qualcomm laptop.

28:04 New lineup of laptops featuring Qualcomm Qualcomm laptop.

28:07 Going Qualcomm Qualcomm Snapdragon X

28:10 laptop massively disrupted [music] by Qualcomm.

28:12 Qualcomm.

28:13 You weren't supposed to use it beyond the Qualcomm daily driver challenge.

28:16 [music] This team frame which is the VR glass for the gaming.

28:19 So that actually runs the Snapdragon ARM.

28:22 Qualcomm.

28:22 You can tell this is a computer because Qualcomm has real computers.

28:26 Now, look at this.

28:27 This is a Qualcomm computer, too.

28:28 And you know what this probably reminds you of?

28:31 It's kind of like the Raspberry Pi.

28:33 Like this one right here.

28:34 That's not a PNG because I misplaced mine.

28:36 And like the Raspberry Pi,

28:38 this can run a full desktop computer operating system experience.

28:42 Also, like the Raspberry Pi, this is ARMbased.

28:45 That's the big difference between the old and the new one.

28:47 And up until very recently,

28:49 I have not thought that ARMbased arm weird, arm different, arm scary.

28:54 This is x86.

28:56 We like x86.

29:01 X86.

29:00 X86 CPUs like this Intel Pentium Gen B.

29:04 These are very familiar to us.

29:05 They run Windows and these, well, these don't really run Windows.

29:09 I mean, they kind of do now.

29:10 There's like a weird Windows ARM Snapdragon thing, but this isn't quite that.

29:13 But also, most games and applications for computers nowadays

29:17 are still made to run on one of these.

29:19 A lot of things are possible on ARM now.

29:22 like you could have a desktop experience with a web browser.

29:25 And I'm sure there's other things,

29:28 but today we're going to find out if it can do a little gaming.

29:32 And based on these specs, well, uh, 16 GB of storage,

29:37 2 GB of DDR4, Qualcomm Dragon Wing,

29:43 that surely means something to somebody somewhere.

29:46 it do be having the specs of my Android phone in 2014.

29:50 But you know, if we can pull it off, we will be gaming for what does this cost?

29:56 $44.

29:58 40 of which I imagine where to get the 2 GB of RAM.

30:02 I'll be honest, folks.

30:03 I don't even really know where to start.

30:05 ARM is a weird ecosystem.

30:08 Well, guess we'll just plug it in.

30:09 I assume this is how you're supposed

30:11 to use this, but I I don't technically know.

30:14 In goes the dock.

30:17 Oo.

30:19 Okay.

30:19 [laughter] Yeah, this is gaming.

30:21 Do you think we can game on this?

30:23 Okay, hold on.

30:23 We're getting ahead of ourselves.

30:24 This is so This is just so strange.

30:27 We're just gaming on like a peripheral.

30:29 Well, we're not gaming yet.

30:31 We are required to change our password immediately.

30:33 Administrator enforced.

30:34 Yes.

30:35 Gaming.

30:36 Gaming.

30:51 We're in.

30:52 Okay.

30:53 Well, this was far too easy.

30:55 So, how do we get Steam?

30:58 Hold on.

30:59 16 gigs of storage.

31:00 Not enough storage for gaming.

31:02 Welcome back, Cheza.

31:04 This was that cool M.2 to thing from the Christmas

31:07 video and it is actually larger than the computer.

31:12 Okay, I know it's an Arduino, but like what is this?

31:15 Are you Debbie?

31:17 Yes.

31:18 Upgrade yourself.

31:19 Okay, well, while we're downloading more computer,

31:22 I've managed to mount our drive, I think.

31:25 Yes.

31:25 Okay, we have significantly multiplied the amount of space we have,

31:29 which is really good because guess what?

31:31 There's like 2.3 GB left on the internal storage.

31:35 Now, if this was a phone from 2014,

31:37 this is the part where you just delete talking

31:39 Tom and you'll get like all of it back.

31:41 But that is not the case for us.

31:43 Chea to the rescue.

31:44 Now, Steam, is this the only Linux distro

31:48 in the entire world not to come with Firefox?

31:51 That's crazy.

31:52 They are missing out on so many sales from furries right now.

31:55 Okay, so the way that we're going to attempt

31:57 to get this working today is with FEX.

32:00 This is the underlying technology with the new Steam Frame.

32:03 cuz if you recall, that thing is also ARM

32:06 and it can also just play regular Steam games.

32:08 And I'm sure it will not be janky and completely worked the first try.

32:13 So, I'm going to be doing a lot of advanced copying and pasting real quick.

32:17 This is an epic not window snapping moment.

32:21 [music] Well, this is going well for Ubuntu.

32:27 All those ones.

32:28 Is that what we have?

32:30 Oh my goodness.

32:31 Come on.

32:32 Neo Fetch.

32:33 Where did it go?

32:34 I thought they renamed it to this.

32:36 Oh, wait.

32:37 Fest Fetch.

32:38 Silly me.

32:38 Fest Fetch is not a thing here.

32:41 Fest Fetch is in Vegas every month.

32:44 Oh, duh.

32:45 No wonder it doesn't work.

32:46 This is Debian Ubuntu's Grandpa.

32:50 Okay.

32:51 Well, for other distributions here, pseudo ninja install.

32:57 Installing ninjas.

33:00 WHAT if I do it like that?

33:02 Nope.

33:03 This ninja appears to be incredibly skilled in stealth.

33:06 I've been told it's ninja build.

33:08 Here's the estimated walk-in shower price in 2026.

33:12 Having this tab open is like ruining the computer.

33:15 We probably don't have a lot of RAM to spare here.

33:17 Yeah.

33:17 1.44 out of 1.7 gigs used.

33:20 Oh jeez, we have no swap space.

33:22 Okay.

33:22 Duck duck go AI answer.

33:24 Let's see how decent you are.

33:26 Okay.

33:26 Instructions followed.

33:28 Restarting.

33:29 Restarting.

33:32 Why?

33:33 Why don't you like it?

33:35 Okay, I changed it into a 18.5 GB swap partition.

33:39 See, no more swap file.

33:40 And it uh seems to be happy now.

33:42 I mean, who wouldn't be happy with 18.5 GB of RAM?

33:46 Okay, RAM downloaded.

33:47 Anyway, back to installing Ninja.

33:50 Nope.

33:50 I think that's actually how you build the program,

33:53 which we should probably download.

33:54 This computer is so punishing if you misclick because it takes

33:58 like 10 seconds to go [music] back to the last page.

34:02 Now we ninja install.

34:05 Cool.

34:08 I feel like the guy from that GitHub meme,

34:11 the one where he's like, I don't want code.

34:13 I want the.exe.

34:15 Give me the.exe.

34:17 We seem to be downloading quite a lot now that I have cloned-reubmodules.

34:23 Uh, I don't want to run out of space.

34:25 We're down to 2 gigs left.

34:27 1.8 gigs.

34:28 I'm watching it dwindle before my eyes.

34:30 Down to 400 megabytes.

34:33 Oh, but it's done.

34:36 I'm just now realizing that we're missing all of this crap.

34:39 Okay, this is truly a Linux moment.

34:43 If I keep the camera going, I truly think I'm going to fill my entire 72 TB NAS.

34:49 This is going to take a little bit.

34:50 Now, here's your cool transition to the next part

34:52 of the video where I did all of this already.

34:57 Despite the odds, it appears that I have a binary.

35:01 This is like this is this is the program.

35:02 Pretend it said.exe at the end.

35:04 I've had to follow this guide on my phone because the computer

35:08 cannot reliably load the web page with only 1.7 GB of free memory.

35:12 An easy way to verify FEX works is

35:14 running youame in the newly created emulated environment.

35:17 And we do that with this, I guess.

35:19 Looks like it works to me.

35:22 Apparently, it's fine.

35:22 It says that just happens.

35:24 We need to run fex root fs [music] fetcher.

35:28 Squashfuse unsquash fs or aeros fuse is required to use this tool.

35:33 Please install one before using.

35:35 We're going to go with a squash fs because it sounds funny.

35:39 Again, this is different.

35:40 Rudest not found.

35:41 Do you want to try and download one?

35:43 We've got a menu here.

35:44 Uh uh four.

35:47 Yes.

35:47 Squash fuse doesn't work.

35:50 Uh, yeah.

35:51 Extract.

35:51 Sure, dude.

35:52 Oh, this is a good process.

35:54 Fatal error.

35:55 There's no space left on device.

35:58 What do we do?

35:59 I think we're going to have to move the home folder.

36:02 All right.

36:02 Pack up your stuff, Arduino.

36:04 You're moving.

36:05 Congratulations on your new home.

36:07 Boom.

36:07 Welcome home to your new home in the chea.

36:10 Okay, let's do this again.

36:12 Four.

36:12 One.

36:13 [music] One.

36:14 One.

36:14 Now, let's reclaim the old space.

36:17 This feels like a horrifyingly bad command to run, but we have to run it.

36:21 Goodbye.

36:22 We now have 3.3 gigs free.

36:25 The power at our fingertips.

36:28 It looks like this worked.

36:29 One.

36:30 Boom.

36:31 We are now x86 compatible.

36:34 That means we are good to install Steam.

36:38 Steam.

36:38 Steam not found.

36:39 I suppose we should download it first.

36:43 Oh, trusted not supported.

36:45 Arduino Uno Q when childhood trauma.

36:47 No packages found.

36:48 Isn't a known XDG portal back end?

36:51 It insists that there are no packages found.

36:53 The Steam client may have limited functionality.

36:55 This is not going excellently, but it is still doing things.

37:00 Wait, hold on.

37:01 What is this?

37:06 Well, she's not the fastest computer in the world.

37:10 She's trying moderately hard, only using a gig of RAM.

37:14 Are you hot?

37:15 Uh, it's hovering above it.

37:17 It feels a little warm.

37:19 It's I mean I can touch it.

37:20 Hold on.

37:21 Where's the temperature mabobber?

37:22 Yeah.

37:22 I mean, is that hot for little arm dudes?

37:26 I don't know.

37:27 Should we get him a heat sink and then we

37:29 just use a x86 CPU like as the heat sink?

37:32 Okay.

37:33 Well, you just do your thing, little guy.

37:35 I'll wait.

37:36 Oh, it's hauling ass now.

37:37 Man, things do not look like they're doing good in the console.

37:42 and it launches.

37:43 Anyway, I just can't wait until we exceed the RAM and then we have

37:48 to start putting our RAM inside of our SSD which is connected over USB.

37:53 Oh, this is going to be a good one.

37:55 I'm so excited.

37:56 ARM is such a weird beast.

37:57 I I can't wait to do more stuff with ARM now,

38:00 especially with the Steam Frame coming out.

38:01 Remember, this is basically a Steam frame.

38:03 Infects is what it runs on.

38:05 Valve hasn't announced the pricing for the Steam frame yet,

38:08 but just so you know, Valve, this is 40 bucks.

38:11 Let's try and stay competitive.

38:13 Somehow our RAM usage is decreasing.

38:15 We failed to do something on Vulcan.

38:17 Failed to initialize device.

38:19 Oh boy.

38:20 Oh boy.

38:20 I don't imagine this thing has the most compatible GPU.

38:25 I truly do not know if things are still working and it's just really slow

38:30 or if this is become a fool's errand with you and I as the fools.

38:35 Nothing to do.

38:36 Isn't this the part where the Steam login page shows up?

38:39 We're using a hell of a lot more RAM all of a sudden.

38:47 Yeah.

38:47 Okay.

38:47 So much for Vulcan not working.

38:50 That's a gooey to me.

38:52 This is insane.

38:53 You know, I recognize that we are not in a game.

38:55 We're not even in the main Steam menu yet.

38:58 But the fact that we're here at all, this is [laughter] insane.

39:02 Arm is so weird.

39:04 Success.

39:05 Sorry for all the guttural noises,

39:07 but I'm I'm kind of like really excited about this one.

39:09 I've wanted to do more weird ARM things, you know,

39:12 cuz there's those projects like Box 86 and stuff like that, but ARM is so scary.

39:16 I mean, to be fair, it has been a pain in the ass to even get to this point.

39:20 A lot of mining was done off camera.

39:23 Oh, hell yeah, dude.

39:25 We get to do the Val of Hardware survey on this thing.

39:28 Would you like to participate?

39:29 Uh, yeah.

39:30 I want to see these results.

39:32 I really want to see these results.

39:34 Manufacturer Arduino model Emola form factor

39:38 desktop I guess CPU vendor genuine Intel.

39:42 Oh yeah, I forgot we have a wireless CPU here.

39:45 This sure supports a lot of x86 instructions.

39:48 1,700 megabytes of RAM.

39:50 Video card.

39:51 Freeo FD72.

39:54 Truly the GPU of all time.

39:57 They are going to love this one.

39:58 You're welcome.

39:59 Arduino representing out here on Steam for you.

40:02 Okay, so it started to run really bad.

40:04 The mouse has been flickering a lot.

40:09 We're at like 4 gigs of RAM usage, most of which is now on the SSD.

40:14 We've loaded the store.

40:15 [music] How about the library?

40:17 Okay, we're going to start with the baseline.

40:23 Impressive.

40:24 You know, when you think about this setup, this is such torture.

40:28 And not even because of the fact that we

40:30 have to like translate the CPU from x86 to ARM.

40:33 Even just downloading the game.

40:35 The download's going to come in off of Ethernet.

40:37 It's going to go into the Arduino, back out,

40:39 and then go over to the SSD and save it into the RAM

40:42 where the data can then go back into the Arduino to be processed,

40:45 and then back out, and then back into the SSD as SSD storage.

40:49 All of that while processing HDMI 1080p 60 signal over that same cable.

40:55 And yet it's still got up to 70 megabits per second internet.

41:00 I This is torturous.

41:02 But holy[ __] THIS IS LIKE A TECHNOLOGICAL MARVEL.

41:06 Oh my goodness.

41:07 ARM is so cool.

41:08 This is the most interesting terrible hardware

41:11 I have ever done anything with ever.

41:12 I I'm so impressed.

41:14 The download is done.

41:16 Now, normally I would install a bunch of other games,

41:18 but uh I I I'm going to say it, folks.

41:21 I don't have a ton of hope for this and I

41:23 don't want to waste our time for once going in.

41:29 Well, it's performing.

41:32 I want to try and give it its best shot.

41:34 [snorts] 720x 480.

41:36 Actually, we can probably go even lower.

41:37 640x 480.

41:39 The mouse is at about2 FPS right about now.

41:43 Oh, this is a big improvement.

41:44 Look at that.

41:45 We're getting 26 FPS.

41:46 Holy cow.

41:48 Load game.

41:48 Black Mesa inbound.

41:50 Let's go.

41:51 [music] Hey.

41:54 Hey.

41:54 That's not too bad.

41:56 That's not bad at all.

41:57 Remember what it is we're gaming on here.

41:59 Okay, this part could be better.

42:02 Do we have any audio?

42:03 Oh, another Linux meme reference.

42:06 Why are there no sound settings?

42:07 I had to install an app to change the audio device.

42:11 In theory, at least.

42:14 I want to be really upset if I have to restart to get this to work.

42:17 Do we really need audio?

42:18 Well, you guys know what Halflife sounds like.

42:21 Fine, fine, fine, fine.

42:22 Hold on.

42:22 It's fine.

42:23 I'm only going to lose like years of my life waiting for this thing to reboot.

42:28 It's fine.

42:28 It's kind of your fault, but it's fine.

42:30 It's fine.

42:33 Wow.

42:34 It doesn't support audio over HDMI.

42:37 I could just record the dummy output to a file

42:41 and then throw that in later when I'm editing,

42:43 but that would require precious CPU cycles that I

42:46 don't really think we can spare right now.

42:47 Back in you go.

42:51 I am aging.

42:54 It's been 10,000 years since I restarted the computer.

42:59 I am withering away.

43:02 I am still of the opinion that this is not bad.

43:05 This is far from the worst HalfLife gameplay that we've seen on this channel.

43:08 I'm looking at you receipt printer.

43:10 Good morning and welcome to the Black Mesa transit system.

43:15 This automated terrain is provided for the security

43:18 and convenience of the Blatter Mesa Research Facility.

43:21 You know, even some parts, look at this.

43:23 This is like almost 40 FPS.

43:25 I'm going to say it.

43:26 I'm going to say it.

43:28 I have hope.

43:30 Do not let me down, Arduino.

43:33 [groaning] That had to have been the longest HalfLife

43:37 2 launch I have ever been a part of.

43:42 What did I do?

43:44 What?

43:45 Oh, I accidentally clicked episode one.

43:47 Okay.

43:48 Well, I here's a good change, I guess.

43:50 Wait, wait, wait.

43:51 I've learned my lesson.

43:52 I can't access the mod folder to turn off the ear raped mod.

43:56 Oh, but we have no audio, so it's fine.

43:58 The one time I actually remember to turn it off.

44:02 I also just realized I forgot to set all of the video settings to low.

44:06 It's too late now.

44:08 God help us.

44:14 Wow, I was certain it crashed.

44:17 Well, yeah, it's running.

44:21 Hey, you know, actually not the worst.

44:24 For how long it took to actually get in game, this is better than I expected.

44:29 I think that's about 7 FPS up there.

44:32 I love that this built-in Source Engine FPS monitor says

44:35 10 FPS and the one up there is less than that.

44:39 Glad we're all on the same page here.

44:44 [laughter] Oh.

44:43 Oops.

44:44 Yeah, mods are definitely on.

44:45 Actually, uh, I'm leaking HalfLife 3 right now.

44:49 Don't look.

44:50 Don't look.

44:50 So, what video settings did we end up with?

44:52 Oh, it's all high with anti-aliasing.

44:55 Oh, boy.

44:55 Okay, I'm going to turn these all to low.

44:58 I can't wait for this to come back in about 10 minutes.

45:01 Well, an improvement it did not make.

45:04 Still running at a rock solid uh 4fps.

45:08 I think uh Eli is missing his head.

45:11 Okay.

45:11 Well, yeah, this is terrible.

45:13 I want to try something slightly more reasonable.

45:16 Now, you would think, oh,

45:17 this is just some cute little 2D indie mini game kind of thing.

45:20 Ah, it's going to run great.

45:21 But in fact, this game does not have a native Linux port.

45:26 So, that means that not only are we using FEX to translate x86 to ARM code,

45:31 but before that, we also have to translate Windows to Linux code.

45:36 So basically I will be impressed if this works.

45:41 Uh uh you know Steam I think we got two different definitions of running.

45:46 Um okay so that was a good experiment.

45:49 Thank you very much.

45:50 All right.

45:50 How about Lego Star Wars?

45:52 I believe this one also is not Linux native.

45:55 I love that just downloading the game rockets

45:57 the CPU usage to 100% on all cores.

46:00 I really love that for me.

46:04 It's not happy.

46:05 All right.

46:05 Well, that doesn't work either.

46:07 Okay, maybe a little bit less fex torture is in order.

46:10 I want to see how this thing does with a little bit of native ARM gaming.

46:14 Why is that there?

46:16 Open the parent folder.

46:18 What do you mean?

46:19 Oh, believe it or not,

46:22 an Arduino may or may not be the greatest emulation machine out there.

46:27 I'm just going to take a guess.

46:29 We are running at solidly 30% of the regular speed of a Wii.

46:33 This isn't even upscaled.

46:35 This is just 1x resolution.

46:37 Okay, how about GameCube?

46:39 Do you smell something burning?

46:40 Oh, it's actually [snorts] kind of hot now.

46:42 Don't worry, Arduino.

46:44 Here's your heat sink, bro.

46:46 Wow.

46:47 12% speed.

46:50 I'm really feeling the energy here.

46:53 All right, what's the verdict?

46:54 Is this the new greatest gaming PC of all time?

46:58 Uh, I'm going to have to say no.

47:00 Maybe pass on this one for gaming.

47:03 I mean, even for like stupid little ARM emulation stuff,

47:06 it's still probably not your first option.

47:08 I do like this thing, though.

47:09 It's very cool.

47:10 It's more interesting to me than a Raspberry

47:12 Pi because everybody likes the Raspberry Pi.

47:14 This thing lets me mess around with ARM

47:16 single board computers and still be a contrarian.

47:18 Okay, well that's it.

47:19 Thank you for watching, folks.

47:21 This video was a torture to make and probably an even bigger torture to watch.

47:25 Thanks for getting to the end.

47:26 Subscribe if you haven't.

47:29 [snorts] [music] Oh my god, my brain.

47:36 My brain is too full of ideas for videos.

47:40 I can't pick.

47:41 I simply cannot pick.

47:44 Welcome to the decision paralysis cope wheel.

47:47 We've got videos like the prototype Steam Controller,

47:50 controller port satisfaction tier list,

47:53 my life-changing purchases, King Jim, I'm not explaining that one,

47:58 and today we're going to spin the wheel and see

48:01 what this here video is going to be about.

48:03 You already know because you read the title and thumbnail.

48:05 And since I want us to be on the same page,

48:07 I'm going to go ahead and spin this wheel and find

48:09 out what this here video is about right about now.

48:16 Well, well, it's uh kind of exactly between those.

48:20 Either way, they're both resp-pin.

48:22 So, respin.

48:24 And it's and it's Oh, it's King Jim.

48:31 That's funny.

48:32 That's the first one I put on here.

48:34 All right.

48:34 King Jim today.

48:36 Behold King Jim.

48:40 #notmy King.

48:42 Okay.

48:42 What is King Jim?

48:44 I don't I don't know.

48:46 It runs on double A's.

48:48 I'm sure these are 10,000 years old.

48:50 Oh, that's filthy.

48:51 We haven't had battery acid in a while.

48:53 This is a nice change.

48:55 Dear God, why is it magnetic?

48:59 Are all batteries magnetic?

49:01 Okay.

49:01 Well, yeah, the tops and bottoms are obviously.

49:04 It didn't occur to me that like the sides of the battery would be magnetic.

49:09 I'm also realizing how profoundly stupid it is to think

49:13 that they wouldn't be cuz if you take the covering off,

49:16 they're they're all metal.

49:18 Okay, you know what?

49:19 We're going to cut that whole segment.

49:21 I believe we are missing a cover of some kind.

49:25 That's okay.

49:26 Luckily, the contacts do not look super corroded.

49:29 So, I think we can just stick some more batteries in there and call it good.

49:35 And I guess that'll do it.

49:36 Okay.

49:37 King Jim.

49:38 King Jim is a laptop of some kind.

49:44 There are Japanese characters on the keyboard.

49:47 Previous candidate conversion and katakana, hiragana, and roaji.

49:53 Okay, not a clue what this one's for, but this makes sense.

49:57 That's the different like symbol types in Japanese, I think.

50:01 What about this one?

50:02 Half width or full width.

50:05 I'm not certain what that means.

50:06 There's a couple buttons up on the screen here.

50:09 Okay.

50:09 QR code.

50:10 Obviously, it says QR.

50:12 That one is calendar.

50:13 These ones are very tiny.

50:15 The top is national language.

50:17 Middle is English and Japanese.

50:19 And the bottom is Japanese.

50:21 English.

50:22 H.

50:23 Yes.

50:23 Very different, but kind of not.

50:25 Man, this screen.

50:26 This is a tiny screen.

50:28 Roughly five and 3/4 in screen.

50:31 I have a bad feeling it's going to be in black and white.

50:34 Man, I is that battery acid?

50:37 Oh, I think battery acid got all over this thing.

50:41 Oh, we'll be lucky if it even works.

50:44 Yeah, I didn't really put two and two together earlier,

50:47 but this is probably battery acid.

50:50 And it's all caked up in the hinge and everything.

50:52 Oh my god.

50:53 It's a miracle it opens.

50:55 Okay, what are the odds it's just going to work?

50:58 Please.

51:01 Hello.

51:02 Access denied.

51:03 The king is dead.

51:05 Okay, I'm going to attempt to like scratch up the contact.

51:10 We might be lucky.

51:11 And it is just a corroded contact.

51:12 And I don't really have a good way to clean it,

51:14 so I'm just scratching the crap out of it with a screwdriver.

51:18 Might as well get this one while I'm at it.

51:19 No sire or no.

51:23 All right, I guess we're going to have to find out what makes a king.

51:26 M smells like Nintendo.

51:29 Is the king hiding anything from the people?

51:32 Yes.

51:33 Yes, he is.

51:35 Aha.

51:36 Ain't feeling too kingly now, are we, Jim?

51:41 Oh, that'll do it.

51:43 Oh, there's a What the Look at this Camos battery.

51:48 It's on like a little flippy upuppy guy.

51:51 That's [music] probably extremely dead.

51:53 But why why does it not work?

51:56 The battery acid has certainly penetrated our defenses.

52:00 You disgust me.

52:01 But that's okay.

52:02 Some components may die, but that is a sacrifice we are willing to make.

52:07 I'm going to try cleaning the contact one more time.

52:10 I couldn't really get the screwdriver in there too good.

52:13 Okay, let's see if we're getting voltage.

52:15 Imagine the batteries are just dead.

52:18 3.23 volts.

52:20 Those are very alive batteries.

52:22 So, I guess we'll go deeper.

52:28 That's nasty.

52:29 Look what the king did to my boy.

52:31 I can't even tell you what that is.

52:33 I think it's just rust.

52:34 Okay, this connector is certainly disgusting.

52:37 That might be something we can try to clean up.

52:40 Holy crap, it looks so bad from this angle.

52:45 Oh, there's not really much to it.

52:47 All right.

52:47 Well, I guess we've got a few connectors we can clean.

52:50 But if that doesn't do it, uh I don't really know what else to try.

52:53 I just noticed it's also got a micro USB port.

52:56 If this does not work,

52:58 we'll try plugging it in with that instead of using batteries.

53:00 Maybe that'll work.

53:02 Come on, Jimothy.

53:03 No, Jimbo, me boy.

53:05 All right, King James Bible.

53:07 What if we did this?

53:12 Nope.

53:12 Nope.

53:13 Nope.

53:13 We can't.

53:14 Ah.

53:14 Now, this is the part where we have to get the very rusty screw out.

53:17 Oh boy.

53:18 I don't know if this is going to happen.

53:21 Oh, there's no way that's coming out.

53:23 Well, not without doing this.

53:28 That made a much bigger crater than I intended.

53:32 The hope was that I could just make a slit to put a flathead in.

53:35 I don't even know.

53:36 This might be too big.

53:37 No way.

53:38 [laughter] No way it's working.

53:39 I'm shocked.

53:41 I am absolutely bewildered that this is working.

53:45 Not very well, but now we don't have to deal with it ever again.

53:49 All right, Jimothy, reveal your secrets.

53:52 His secret appears to be more corrosion.

53:55 All right, Jim.

53:56 I just want you to imagine something here for a second.

53:58 Imagine if you functioned.

54:00 Huh?

54:00 Imagine if you turned on become alive.

54:04 Oh, I can't hit the button.

54:05 Okay, you know what?

54:06 Screw the keyboard.

54:07 I'm here to see Jim.

54:10 This thing is not having it.

54:11 All right, last ditch effort.

54:13 Please, James, I beg you.

54:15 Turn on.

54:17 I don't know if all hope is lost.

54:19 Actually, when I press the power button,

54:21 there's a current reading on the power supply.

54:23 You guys can't see this, but it appears

54:25 to be drawing a little tiny bit of power.

54:28 I wonder if the display just doesn't work.

54:31 Yeah, I I don't know, guys.

54:34 I don't think the king has been invited to this party.

54:37 I'm devastated.

54:38 All right.

54:38 Well, we ought to at least find out what this thing was supposed to do.

54:43 Oh, I'm pissed.

54:44 This thing looks really interesting.

54:47 $153.

54:49 Freaking gym.

54:50 Pomera DM100 review worth it?

54:53 2023.

54:55 Is this a recent device?

54:58 eBay $150.

55:00 What does it do?

55:02 No, this is not recent.

55:03 This was 12 years ago.

55:05 It can be a Bluetooth keyboard, I guess.

55:07 Wow.

55:08 This guy liked this thing so much that he

55:10 named his entire channel after the model number.

55:13 Okay.

55:13 From what I can tell, it is a notetaking device.

55:17 Yeah, this is a very Japanese product.

55:20 Seems a little goofy.

55:23 Would it really be that much bigger to just take

55:26 a Bluetooth keyboard and like stand a phone on it?

55:30 Actually, I think this is less bulky.

55:33 Okay, well, didn't look like there was any gaming to do on the King Gym anyway,

55:37 so kind of worthless.

55:39 TBH, thank you for watching whatever the hell this video was.

55:43 Thank you for nothing, King Jim.

55:45 Leave a comment on what we should replace uh King Jim with.

55:48 All right, see you.

55:55 Welcome to another great video.

55:57 I guess this came into my possession because somebody recycled it.

56:03 I don't know if this is e-waste or actual recycling,

56:06 but like pretty much everything else, after it was recycled, it was given to me.

56:11 I'm so happy.

56:12 I am so happy to receive this.

56:15 I'm kind of scared to find out what's inside.

56:17 Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

56:19 Not yet.

56:20 You think we're just going to skip straight

56:21 to the inside on a computer that looks like this?

56:24 Certified by MSI themselves.

56:27 This thing is true gaming.

56:30 This is bad.

56:30 Look at that.

56:31 Gcale EVGA Corsair Intel.

56:34 Basically, it's really good.

56:36 What is this sticker?

56:38 This is in French.

56:41 and Japanese.

56:42 That is an interesting combination.

56:45 Actions required on the disc bay.

56:47 Activity indicator, capacity gauge, food.

56:50 Is the Is this alive?

56:52 Do you need sustenance?

56:55 H Add a disc here soon, but do not remove this disc.

56:59 Now add a disc here.

57:01 I'm I'm getting mixed messages.

57:03 Let's see if the Japanese translation will make any more sense.

57:06 Activity indicator capacity gauge.

57:08 What is that?

57:09 What does that one say?

57:10 That's so tiny.

57:11 What does that say?

57:13 Ah, power supply.

57:14 The fact that that translated to food.

57:17 That's incredible.

57:18 There is no need.

57:20 System is fine.

57:21 Please add a drive.

57:22 Do not remove this drive.

57:24 Add your drive now.

57:25 Okay, so those sound like instructions for like a NAS.

57:29 I do not believe that is instructions for [music] this computer.

57:33 Unless this was someone's server, but that couldn't be someone's server.

57:37 It's true gaming.

57:38 What is back?

57:39 Oh my goodness.

57:40 All right, listen to this.

57:43 Okay, maybe I shouldn't do that.

57:44 This looks very um office computer.

57:48 [music] Looks like there was a graphics card,

57:50 but only the uh graphics glue remains and every gaming port under the sun.

57:57 Fun fact, nobody actually needs USB 3.

58:00 I mean, do you see it?

58:01 I don't.

58:02 I suppose it's time to open this monstrosity.

58:05 What's inside this?

58:07 [music] [singing] What is that?

58:14 Excuse me.

58:15 What is What is this power bank?

58:18 [music] Uh, okay.

58:21 Look at the output on this.

58:23 5 volts at8 amps.

58:25 Very fast.

58:26 Very powerful.

58:28 Why would this be in here?

58:30 For what reason?

58:31 Well, clearly we need to go deeper.

58:33 Am I allowed to damage this?

58:35 I don't think it opens more than this without causing irreparable harm.

58:40 Although, to be fair, this thing is kind of irreparable harm incarnate.

58:43 If this thing can cause me irreparable harm just by looking at it,

58:46 I think I'm safe to cause it a little some.

58:51 Oh, there it is.

58:52 The mark of the beast.

58:54 I think at this point I kind of know what this is.

58:57 But to confirm my suspicion, we must keep going.

58:59 But I don't actually know how cuz this goes through a hole in the box.

59:05 So I can't just rip this out.

59:07 But also, I can't open this flap because the DVD drive is glued to it.

59:11 This is just modern engineering, honestly.

59:13 No screws needed.

59:14 Why use screws when glue exists?

59:19 Actually, hold on.

59:20 I think the least destructive way to do this is to tear a line here.

59:24 I'm sorry, Japanese NAS instructions.

59:26 So then this can come up.

59:28 Oh.

59:30 Oh, that's that's nasty.

59:32 I can't tell if there are spiderw webs in here

59:35 or if that's like little strands of hot glue.

59:38 Either way, they're really dusty.

59:42 Okay, look at that.

59:44 That level of dust means someone was like actually using this.

59:48 This wasn't just like for the meme.

59:50 Well, okay.

59:52 I don't know if there's a way to do this that isn't for the meme,

59:55 but[ __] if they weren't committed to it.

59:57 I kind of feel bad like I'm just destroying someone's uh

1:00:01 daily driver computer or at least was at some point probably.

1:00:05 That's fine.

1:00:05 You got to break a few eggs to something.

1:00:08 I don't actually know the saying.

1:00:10 Oh, I found our next mystery item.

1:00:12 Ooh.

1:00:13 Oh, I don't I wish I didn't put my arm inside this.

1:00:16 Uh, it's a battery.

1:00:18 Oh, not for retail sale.

1:00:20 This is an OEM battery.

1:00:21 Don't get it twisted.

1:00:23 And then from there, uh, there's not really much else to it.

1:00:26 I can still hear something like sliding around.

1:00:29 Oh, I think I see it.

1:00:31 Dude, something's going to bite me.

1:00:33 It's It's another battery.

1:00:36 Uh, this was also in there.

1:00:38 Oh, this is like a chassis screw to keep a side panel on for some computer.

1:00:44 I don't think it was whatever this originally was, cuz that's a Dell.

1:00:48 And HP likes these star bits.

1:00:50 Dude, you're getting a Dell.

1:00:53 I think our spelunking is complete.

1:00:55 Oh, but I'm not done with it yet.

1:00:59 [music] So, how do you turn this bad boy on?

1:01:02 Well, with the power button, of course.

1:01:04 Conveniently panel mounted.

1:01:07 No boot device found.

1:01:08 That would make sense.

1:01:10 I didn't see a hard drive.

1:01:11 Did you?

1:01:12 Nothing that a little bit of edge can't solve.

1:01:16 I want my computers running their best.

1:01:18 That's why I edge all of them.

1:01:19 Or at least I would.

1:01:20 If there was an accessible SATA power connector.

1:01:23 It's like it's there.

1:01:26 Oh, it really doesn't want to bend like that.

1:01:28 I'm just trying to get you into proper edge position.

1:01:32 There we go.

1:01:33 I don't know what computer in its right mind would resist getting some edge,

1:01:37 but we're all edged up now.

1:01:40 Subscribe if you want me to shut the[ __] up.

1:01:42 I promise I'm using the dirty cherry keyboard.

1:01:45 There's just not enough room on the table for it.

1:01:47 Okay, no OS.

1:01:49 No problem.

1:01:49 Today we're going to be returning to Formula.

1:01:52 Oh, [music] like I was saying, but with a tighter grip.

1:01:59 Now, today we will be returning to form a little bit.

1:02:02 You guys remember Holo ISO?

1:02:04 Arch ISO.

1:02:05 That's the Holo ISO installer.

1:02:07 Why, dude?

1:02:09 I'm at the point where it would be easier to like

1:02:12 raise the Antichrist than boot Steam Deck OS on this laptop.

1:02:16 Oh, that is cursed.

1:02:17 And since I have Stockholm syndrome, we're going to go back to Holo ISO.

1:02:21 Okay, we've got our SSD.

1:02:23 We've got our flash drive.

1:02:24 Let's get ourselves a little Steam OS.

1:02:27 Oh, it's really good and works every time.

1:02:30 They've updated it though.

1:02:31 The build on this flash drive is from 3 weeks ago.

1:02:34 That's quite recent.

1:02:35 It's time we give it another shot.

1:02:36 And for those of you not familiar,

1:02:38 Holo ISO is a Steam Deck like type operating system

1:02:42 that is good for installing on Steam Deck like devices,

1:02:45 not unlike the one you see right here.

1:02:49 Dell Inc.

1:02:50 Optiplex 3010.

1:02:52 Ah, figures that this is an Optiplex.

1:02:55 The Ford Transit Connect of Computing.

1:02:58 What do we got here?

1:02:59 8 gigs of the good stuff.

1:03:00 An i53450.

1:03:04 Now that's a CPU.

1:03:05 Intel HD graphics.

1:03:07 Always good to see.

1:03:08 I guess that's kind of it.

1:03:12 Okay, we're putting it into kek mode.

1:03:14 Save.

1:03:15 Kek.mode.

1:03:17 Nice.

1:03:18 Kek mode engaged.

1:03:19 We are clear to game.

1:03:23 Hello.

1:03:25 Can I please get a boot menu?

1:03:27 No.

1:03:27 Just a grub rescue.

1:03:29 Literally the last thing I ever want to see.

1:03:31 Okay, fine.

1:03:32 We'll do it the stupid way.

1:03:37 There we go.

1:03:38 So, the Holo ISO installer is just straight up the Arch installer now.

1:03:42 Okay.

1:03:44 So, that's how it's going to be, huh?

1:03:47 I think it couldn't find the flash drive somehow.

1:03:50 All right, let's take this from the top.

1:03:52 Run it back.

1:03:54 Still says waiting.

1:03:54 Hold on.

1:03:55 What if I unplug it and plug it back in?

1:03:57 Can you find it now?

1:03:58 Apparently not.

1:04:00 [music] Which is now on this flash drive with slightly different settings

1:04:08 on Roffus that I think is going to work out in our favor.

1:04:11 Third time's a charm.

1:04:13 Hey, there we go.

1:04:14 Now it can find it.

1:04:16 I was kind of scared there for a minute.

1:04:17 I thought I was going to have to go pull out the golden flash drive.

1:04:20 I suppose a little bit of Ethernet is in order.

1:04:24 There we go.

1:04:25 Install Holo ISO on this device.

1:04:27 Yes, please, man.

1:04:31 Select drive.

1:04:32 And yeah, yeah, I know.

1:04:33 I know what SDA is.

1:04:35 I know what SDB is.

1:04:36 I know that's just how Linux does the drives,

1:04:38 but would it kill you to just use the name of the drive?

1:04:42 Like, look at that right there.

1:04:43 device SDA model edge.

1:04:46 Like, you have this information.

1:04:48 Simply tell [music] it to me.

1:04:49 Anyway, SDA.

1:04:54 Oh, well, now I just look like a[ __][ __] Box gaming.

1:04:58 Gaming box.

1:05:00 All contents and partitions on drivedev.

1:05:02 SDA will be erased.

1:05:04 Do it.

1:05:10 Installation finished.

1:05:12 Really?

1:05:13 No errors.

1:05:14 Am I being pranked?

1:05:16 I mean, I guess it makes sense.

1:05:17 The Optiplex is like default PC.

1:05:20 It's probably going to just be supported.

1:05:23 So, now we can just take this out and um Steam Deck.

1:05:30 APM not present.

1:05:32 I knew it.

1:05:33 I knew I was being pranked.

1:05:35 You know, [snorts] that doesn't smell too good.

1:05:39 Coming from the power supply.

1:05:41 Uh oh.

1:05:43 The vent.

1:05:44 The vent is on the bottom.

1:05:46 Oh jeez.

1:05:47 Uh power bank here.

1:05:49 Prop it up.

1:05:50 We're getting air flow now.

1:05:52 Yes.

1:05:52 Okay.

1:05:53 Wow.

1:05:53 That's some hot air.

1:05:55 Oh man.

1:05:56 [laughter] Don't mind me just absolutely barbecuing the power supply.

1:06:00 All right.

1:06:00 What's your problem?

1:06:01 Huh?

1:06:01 You want UEFI?

1:06:02 Huh?

1:06:03 Sure.

1:06:03 Have it.

1:06:03 See if I care.

1:06:09 Just nothing.

1:06:10 just black screen.

1:06:12 You guys have to cut me some slack.

1:06:14 This is my first box computer.

1:06:16 And I know someone's going to go down

1:06:18 in the comments and they're going to be like,

1:06:19 "Well, I've owned a box computer for the last 10 years.

1:06:22 I went to box computer school and I have a box computer certification

1:06:25 from a UPS." I would never make these kind of mistakes on my box computer.

1:06:30 Okay, everything off except the Edge.

1:06:33 This BIOS is Edge only from now on.

1:06:36 No boot device found.

1:06:37 What do you mean?

1:06:38 There was an option to boot an existing

1:06:40 operating system when you boot from a USB.

1:06:42 Let's give that a try.

1:06:43 Boot existing OS.

1:06:46 Cool.

1:06:47 I'm doing a little bit of thinking here.

1:06:50 I remember trying to do this on that crummy

1:06:53 Toshiba laptop way back in the prehistoric age.

1:06:56 And I was having issues with the fact that Holo ISO only wanted to boot UEFI.

1:07:01 It would not surprise me if that was still the case.

1:07:03 And the fact that clicking this now doesn't show the SSD means maybe I got

1:07:09 to go and boot the flash drive in EFI

1:07:12 and then reinstall the system while booting UEFI.

1:07:16 I mean, that's how Windows works.

1:07:17 However you boot the Windows installer is how

1:07:20 it's going to install it to your drive.

1:07:22 So, reinstalling time.

1:07:30 What did you hear that?

1:07:31 Was that like a That was a Mario coin.

1:07:34 What made that sound?

1:07:35 Optiplexes don't do that.

1:07:37 Like the prophecy foretold.

1:07:38 True gaming.

1:07:46 I saw it.

1:07:46 I saw it.

1:07:47 Steam OS.

1:07:50 Any second now.

1:07:53 Any second now.

1:07:56 And it's not booting.

1:07:58 All right.

1:07:58 Advanced options.

1:08:00 Uh, Steam OS with Linux.

1:08:03 Linux LG.

1:08:07 Can you just Can you just work just for once?

1:08:11 Okay.

1:08:12 I know some people have issues with this when you're not using a AMD GPU.

1:08:17 Maybe that's our issue.

1:08:18 Huh?

1:08:20 Hey, dude.

1:08:21 I turned you off.

1:08:23 Stop that.

1:08:24 All right.

1:08:25 AMD GPU going in.

1:08:28 [snorts] This feels like a game.

1:08:31 Like there was clearly a cutout already made for a GPU.

1:08:35 Clearly the creator of this game was trying to signal me and be like,

1:08:39 "Hey, you probably need to put a GPU in there." Oh my goodness.

1:08:43 I just shoved the power supply into it.

1:08:46 It did not even occur to me that it's probably mounted by literally nothing.

1:08:50 All right, video from the graphics card.

1:08:52 Let's see what she's got.

1:08:55 Looks like a whole lot of nothing.

1:08:58 I don't know if our AMD GPU is good enough.

1:09:03 I really didn't want it to come to this already.

1:09:05 I don't hate most of the setups on this channel.

1:09:08 Usually, they've got something at least a little redeemable about them.

1:09:12 I hate this setup.

1:09:17 No way.

1:09:18 No way.

1:09:19 It actually booted.

1:09:20 I was literally just sitting here thinking about

1:09:22 the next thing I was going to try.

1:09:24 And to be honest, it sounded like the next thing

1:09:26 I was going to be trying was a straight jacket.

1:09:28 Insane.

1:09:30 Absolutely insane.

1:09:32 Basically, I'm a Linux expert.

1:09:34 Last of all, down below is the micro SD card slot.

1:09:37 It's okay, little guy.

1:09:39 There's no micro SD card, but I'll let you believe that.

1:09:42 Oh my goodness, it's beautiful.

1:09:44 All right, friends.

1:09:45 I'm thinking box themed games today.

1:09:48 We got What the Box, Box Ninja, and Dragon Box.

1:09:52 Also, there is not even remotely enough room for a keyboard and mouse right now.

1:09:57 So, uh I'll be using my Xbox controller.

1:10:02 Use the arrow keys to move and jump.

1:10:04 Press space to kick.

1:10:05 Simple enough.

1:10:09 They didn't stand a chance.

1:10:13 What?

1:10:13 I'm screwed.

1:10:15 Wait.

1:10:15 No, we're good.

1:10:16 We are good.

1:10:20 I think I might have needed that.

1:10:22 Do I have to jump on it in midair?

1:10:26 There's no way.

1:10:29 Oh, hold on.

1:10:30 What if we just just right up right [screaming] there?

1:10:41 Yeah.

1:10:41 Very nice.

1:10:43 Whoa.

1:10:44 Oh, Box Ninja is living up to his name now.

1:10:47 This is a masterpiece in the box type game genre.

1:10:51 All right.

1:10:51 Good box game.

1:10:54 What the box?

1:10:55 The box.

1:10:55 [laughter] What the box?

1:10:57 Little boxes everywhere.

1:11:00 Every boxes.

1:11:02 Little boxes.

1:11:03 All right, this beats box ninja.

1:11:05 I like me some box core.

1:11:06 I have 5 minutes to get the most kills.

1:11:08 I've played this game once and I could not

1:11:11 We're not the only box in town, it appears.

1:11:15 There he is.

1:11:16 There he is.

1:11:18 This is not fair.

1:11:19 I'm on a controller.

1:11:24 Damn it.

1:11:24 Oh, there's two of them.

1:11:29 You can tap Q to swap weapons.

1:11:31 What else do I got?

1:11:32 Oh, a box cutter, of course.

1:11:36 Damn it.

1:11:37 Come here, you little box.

1:11:40 [laughter] There's three of them.

1:11:44 This one of those things where it's like you hop on an empty Steam

1:11:46 game and the second people see that there's

1:11:48 one person on, people just start playing.

1:11:51 Glad I can bring about the resurgence of what the box.

1:11:55 Oh, wait.

1:11:58 Huh?

1:11:59 Uh, I should be dead, huh?

1:12:04 Okay.

1:12:06 Oh, they were AI the whole time.

1:12:09 I thought I was making a connection with three other What the Box players.

1:12:13 All right, enough.

1:12:14 What the box?

1:12:15 We drag a box.

1:12:19 Oh, I see.

1:12:25 Very good box dragging game.

1:12:27 Dragging these boxes across your lawn.

1:12:34 Oh, I have absolutely screwed myself.

1:12:37 [music] Either way, I think that's about all the substance that that game has.

1:12:40 So, that's it for our box collection.

1:12:42 And normally this is the part where I say

1:12:44 we should try something a little harder on this thing,

1:12:47 but I think Grand Theft Auto 5 would fill the entire SSD.

1:12:51 And lucky for us, since the Dell Optiplex is built for gamers,

1:12:56 oh, we can just do one of these.

1:12:58 Just got to be careful not to disturb my edge.

1:13:01 There we go.

1:13:02 They give you another SATA [music] port.

1:13:06 Just like that.

1:13:07 Another two TB of gaming.

1:13:08 Oh, look at that.

1:13:09 What did I tell you?

1:13:10 Format.

1:13:11 Do it.

1:13:12 Oh, cool.

1:13:15 [music] Why though?

1:13:17 Hold on.

1:13:18 Switch to desktop.

1:13:21 This is insanity.

1:13:23 All this to wipe a drive.

1:13:25 Screw this.

1:13:26 I'm getting garted.

1:13:30 [groaning] I can't use Pac-Man because this is an immutable file system.

1:13:35 And I can't even build it from source cuz I need to install Gnome Common.

1:13:40 I can't.

1:13:41 I just No.

1:13:42 No.

1:13:43 I refuse.

1:13:43 [music] I'm not playing this game.

1:13:45 I am simply not going to do that.

1:13:49 I love this.

1:13:50 I love this.

1:13:51 I love this.

1:13:52 Delete.

1:13:52 [music] Delete.

1:13:54 New.

1:13:54 Add.

1:13:55 Apply.

1:13:56 Okay.

1:13:58 [music] Oh my god.

1:14:03 I think I've done it.

1:14:04 Let's see.

1:14:05 Let's see.

1:14:06 Can it be done?

1:14:22 Oh my god, that was very tense for a little bit there.

1:14:26 Either I was going to get that working or we were

1:14:28 going to be playing off of a USB 2 flash drive.

1:14:32 Amazing.

1:14:33 Well, that's going to take a decade, so gaming will commence in a minute.

1:14:39 [music] Not only is the game stuck in the top left corner,

1:14:44 it has frozen and crashed the entire computer.

1:14:47 This is also the second time this has happened.

1:14:50 So now it's Counter Strike time.

1:14:52 Oh boy.

1:14:53 Counterstrike on a controller.

1:14:56 Getting a kill with a controller.

1:14:58 I don't know if this is possible.

1:15:03 Aha.

1:15:04 Oh.

1:15:06 Oh, good spawn.

1:15:08 Come on.

1:15:08 Please, please, please.

1:15:11 Well, I almost had him.

1:15:12 You know, that was actually running so well

1:15:14 that I completely forgot to comment on the performance.

1:15:18 This is 1080p, highest graphics settings.

1:15:21 Let's go.

1:15:22 Obviously, we are entirely limited by the CPU.

1:15:25 Our third gen i5.

1:15:30 Get wrecked.

1:15:30 Get absolutely destroyed.

1:15:32 And I'll do it again.

1:15:35 Oh, 40 fps, 50 fps.

1:15:37 It's like between 40 and 60.

1:15:39 I mean, when did those things even come out?

1:15:41 I think those chips are from like 2012.

1:15:43 So, shoot.

1:15:44 I guess a decade and two more years old CPU getting

1:15:48 just about 60 FPS on the highest settings on a modern game.

1:15:52 Yeah, it's an esports title, but I don't know.

1:15:55 That's pretty dope.

1:15:57 Doom.

1:16:01 Oh.

1:16:05 Oh, shoot.

1:16:06 Okay, it's been a while.

1:16:10 Please.

1:16:14 What?

1:16:15 Wait.

1:16:18 Oh, we can salvage this.

1:16:22 Oh, or I guess I could just climb the wall.

1:16:25 This runs beautiful, though.

1:16:26 Look at that.

1:16:27 We're over like 100 FPS almost the whole time.

1:16:29 1080p ultra quality.

1:16:31 Everything but ray tracing.

1:16:32 And this thing is not hurting enough.

1:16:34 So, let's turn on ray tracing.

1:16:36 Ah, there we go.

1:16:38 Now it Well, well, shoot.

1:16:39 We're still at like 100 FPS.

1:16:45 Why is the audio doing that?

1:16:47 That only happened after I turned on ray tracing.

1:16:50 Hold on.

1:16:51 Is it good now?

1:16:52 Uh, it's still a little screwy.

1:16:55 I did it.

1:16:57 Does anything entertaining await us on the other side?

1:17:01 Whoa.

1:17:02 I really need to finish this game, but not on this thing.

1:17:07 [sighs] The Mox computer, ladies and gentlemen.

1:17:10 Is it cheating that I ended up just plugging a Radeon 6T950 XT into it?

1:17:14 [music] Yeah.

1:17:17 Hey, if you guys want to see Steam OS, I got to do what I got to do.

1:17:20 And if plugging a big fat GPU into these weird computers gets it to work,

1:17:24 I'm going to do what I got to do.

1:17:25 I guess the least I can do to this thing

1:17:27 is it put it back together at least a little bit.

1:17:31 There we go.

1:17:32 It's literally as good as new.

1:17:33 Oh, wait.

1:17:34 Can't forget the batteries.

1:17:36 This one, too.

1:17:37 That's going to be it, ladies and gentlemen.

1:17:40 The box computer.

1:17:41 Uh, if you want this thing,

1:17:43 I'm going to leave it at these coordinates right here.

1:17:45 It'll be there.

1:17:46 Check out the Bringing Studios PCB chains.

1:17:49 These things haven't really been selling as good as I was hoping,

1:17:52 and they're pretty cool.

1:17:54 So, give it a look at the very least.

1:17:55 Check out the Discord, check out the Patreon, check out the Twitter.

1:17:58 I'll see you in the next one.

1:18:02 The other day, I saw this video.

1:18:05 I would really like a cold one right now.

1:18:11 This should help.

1:18:13 Wisely done, Mr.

1:18:15 Freeman.

1:18:19 [music] Have you been able to get the beverage machine to work yet?

1:18:24 So today, dear viewer, we're making it happen.

1:18:29 Also, as a bonus, we have a button.

1:18:32 I figured this can be a Half-Life beer opener,

1:18:36 and then this can be a portal button.

1:18:38 It's roughly the right shape.

1:18:40 As you can see, it's for dad jokes.

1:18:43 Let's give them a listen, shall we?

1:18:45 Why do crabs never give to charity?

1:18:48 Because they're shelfish.

1:18:50 [laughter] Okay, number one's a bit rough.

1:18:55 Did you hear about the bread factory burning down?

1:18:57 They say the business is toast.

1:19:01 Okay, I like that one.

1:19:03 Cosmetic surgery used to be such a taboo subject.

1:19:06 Now you can talk about Botox and nobody raises an eyebrow.

1:19:14 Okay.

1:19:14 Shout out to my grandma.

1:19:15 That's the only way she can hear.

1:19:17 [laughter] Okay.

1:19:21 Hey, Gordon.

1:19:22 About that dad joke I owe you.

1:19:25 [music] I think this is just like the same thing.

1:19:28 I called my wife and asked her if I should pick up

1:19:30 fish and chips on the way home from work and she hung up.

1:19:34 She's still angry she let me name the kids.

1:19:37 [laughter] Why?

1:19:41 Why does he laugh at the end?

1:19:43 If there was like a laugh track, it wouldn't really sound as lonely.

1:19:47 Okay, so we've got our dad joke button in beer opener.

1:19:51 Actually, from now on, this is going to be soft drink opener.

1:19:55 And whenever I said beer, I just I I meant root beer.

1:19:59 Don't demonetize me, please.

1:20:01 But the idea is that we can take these apart.

1:20:03 This one's going to be a little harder to do because it's just smaller,

1:20:07 but we'll take them apart.

1:20:09 And then I got these.

1:20:11 So, this is a couple of audio amplifiers.

1:20:14 So, I don't know if we're going to need

1:20:15 an audio amplifier because I didn't really know how the sound is going to sound

1:20:19 on the speaker uh [music] when I output a microcontroller.

1:20:24 This is just a very very small Raspberry Pi Pico.

1:20:28 It's the same microcontroller that you've seen on the channel a few times.

1:20:30 You can use this like a GameCube mod chip.

1:20:33 Uh I used one to make the Operation game.

1:20:35 I can shake the game just like this.

1:20:38 They're very useful.

1:20:39 But I figured I can write some extraordinarily basic code

1:20:43 on this to detect when you [music] bridge the two metal pieces up here.

1:20:47 And when it detects that, it will just play stored sound file or a few.

1:20:52 I want to actually do a few that you can cycle through.

1:20:54 And this is tiny enough that it should fit in there.

1:20:57 My other concern is that the batteries that power

1:20:59 this thing might not be enough to power the microcontroller.

1:21:03 So, [music] we'll see.

1:21:04 I'd hate to have to try to put a bigger battery in here,

1:21:06 but you know, we'll do what we got to do.

1:21:09 Get out of here.

1:21:10 Go.

1:21:10 Keep going.

1:21:11 Keep it moving.

1:21:12 Go.

1:21:13 [laughter] Why are you just sitting here?

1:21:15 Stop.

1:21:17 Whoop.

1:21:18 Yep.

1:21:18 Super simple circuit.

1:21:20 So, we can take the brain out.

1:21:22 I think that's like a CR 2032 like BIOS battery type battery.

1:21:27 And how many volts are those?

1:21:29 That's 3 volts.

1:21:31 That should work.

1:21:33 We are probably going to end up draining the crap out of this battery, though.

1:21:38 Obviously, you're not supposed to just run a microcontroller

1:21:41 full time off of a tiny little battery like this.

1:21:43 It's going to It does stuff in the background like it's looping the program,

1:21:47 so it's probably not going to last all that long.

1:21:49 But whatever.

1:21:50 If there's room, maybe I can look at putting like a small lithium-ion battery.

1:21:56 But I don't I don't like batteries.

1:21:58 I don't I do not know how to do them properly.

1:22:01 I don't know how to do the charging circuits.

1:22:02 Tony, please.

1:22:04 But I guess we shall begin by just desoldering all the stuff.

1:22:08 There goes the contacts.

1:22:09 And there goes the speaker.

1:22:12 I don't see any reason we can't just use pins 0, 1, 2, and three for this.

1:22:17 0 and one for the speaker.

1:22:18 Two and three for the button.

1:22:20 Then ground and 3.3 volt over here for the power.

1:22:22 Yeah, that should work.

1:22:26 All right.

1:22:27 I was kind of wrong about that layout.

1:22:28 So, we're going to have the button on pin one, the speaker on pin zero,

1:22:33 and then the other half of the button is going to be on ground,

1:22:35 and then the other lead from the speaker is also going

1:22:37 to be on ground because that's how that's supposed to work, I think.

1:22:40 I don't know.

1:22:41 Only one way to find out.

1:22:43 The first prototype of the code works.

1:22:45 Listen to this.

1:22:49 I don't even think you can hear that.

1:22:52 I Okay, so clearly we are going to have

1:22:55 to use one of those audio amplifiers, but that's fine.

1:22:58 Screw you, Seed Studio.

1:23:01 I was uploading all the audio files and then it just stopped working.

1:23:04 Very nice.

1:23:06 But I have recreated the setup with a standard Pi Pico.

1:23:10 I'll replace this with one of the smaller ones.

1:23:13 I got more on order.

1:23:14 I only had one of those because that is

1:23:16 is very likely not going to fit in there.

1:23:18 So, I'll replace it with a smaller one later.

1:23:20 But for now, this will do.

1:23:22 I have the audio amplifier hooked up to the speaker and everything is connected.

1:23:27 And we'll flip it on.

1:23:30 Oh, you hear that?

1:23:31 All right, check this out.

1:23:32 We're going to make contact right now.

1:23:38 [laughter] Another one.

1:23:42 [music] It works perfect.

1:23:48 Okay.

1:23:48 Actually, it's not supposed to keep going.

1:23:51 Um, not supposed to be doing that.

1:23:54 Okay.

1:23:54 Well, that was weird.

1:23:55 I'll fix that.

1:23:56 And I'm running this off of the power supply right now.

1:23:59 You can see 3 volts.

1:24:00 However, when I hook it up to the CR20 to32 battery,

1:24:05 the voltage on this just drops instantly to like 1.3 volts,

1:24:10 which is not going to be enough to run this.

1:24:12 So, unfortunately, I'm going to have to find another battery option.

1:24:26 Not that I wish to imply that you have been vaping on the job.

1:24:31 All right, this is where our battery's coming from.

1:24:33 We just have to get to it.

1:24:36 No one is more deserving of a boof.

1:24:41 [laughter] I'm not really sure what the best way to take this thing apart is,

1:24:43 but I'm just going to heat the crap out

1:24:44 of it cuz you're not supposed to take it apart.

1:24:46 Got to make sure we don't touch the demonetization liquid.

1:24:50 Oh, one of the magnets came out.

1:24:52 So, can we then just It's a little spooky cuz I don't

1:24:56 know where the battery is and I don't want to like puncture it.

1:24:59 There we go.

1:25:00 Now it's coming.

1:25:01 And we made no progress.

1:25:04 May this serve as a tutorial video to all

1:25:07 of the poor children 300 years from now.

1:25:10 They'd have to go into the landfills and dig

1:25:12 these things up just to get the lithium out of them.

1:25:15 We love singleuse lithium ion batteries.

1:25:18 Oh, it's all floppy now.

1:25:20 Oh, come on out, partner.

1:25:23 Oh, oops.

1:25:24 I ripped something.

1:25:25 I think that's just the heating coil, though.

1:25:28 Ew.

1:25:28 This is disgusting.

1:25:30 Does it still work?

1:25:35 [music] We'll see.

1:25:35 The problem is that I also want this type C

1:25:38 port for charging cuz the battery's kind of coming out now.

1:25:42 But not with the type-C port.

1:25:46 Oh, I saw smoke.

1:25:50 Oh, it still works.

1:25:52 [laughter] That's toxic.

1:25:54 This is the heating coil right here.

1:25:57 So, I'm just going to get rid of that right now.

1:26:02 Goodbye.

1:26:03 There it is.

1:26:05 It's a bit disgusting.

1:26:07 Nothing we can't clean up, though.

1:26:09 This is a really compact package.

1:26:11 This is exactly what I was hoping to use.

1:26:13 I'm a little concerned that this thing is so

1:26:15 drenched in the goop blinking at me for some reason.

1:26:19 Does the circuit board just like swim around in the vape juice?

1:26:23 All right, here it is.

1:26:24 The pearl from the inside of our mango oyster.

1:26:28 It's all hooked up.

1:26:29 And guess what?

1:26:34 It will do.

1:26:36 I also want these to look the part, too.

1:26:38 We're going for authenticity today.

1:26:41 All right.

1:26:42 Proof of concept for the portal button done.

1:26:44 It currently still makes Halflife noises right now, but that's fine.

1:26:51 I can change that later.

1:26:52 And the nice part about this is that it uses two AAA batteries.

1:26:56 And I guess that's enough to run this thing.

1:26:59 Here it is pretty much complete.

1:27:02 I'm not even going to bother trying to explain

1:27:04 to you how everything is set up in here.

1:27:06 You'll just have to take my word that it works.

1:27:08 I'm going to put all the screws back in this one and then

1:27:11 finish up the button and then show you guys how they look.

1:27:25 I only got one thing to say to you.

1:27:29 I really like a cold one right now.

1:27:32 The Half-Life bottle opener has been faithfully recreated

1:27:36 and sounds like hot dog[ __] But to be fair,

1:27:40 I don't think it would be authentic otherwise.

1:27:43 Actually, there is one more final touch and it's a little Gordon sticker.

1:27:48 There we go.

1:27:50 Oh my goodness, it looks so good.

1:27:54 Look at that.

1:27:54 Look how authentic it is.

1:27:56 My Gordon has lower legs and the rest of his shotgun.

1:28:00 So, okay, maybe not completely authentic, but I would even say uh superior.

1:28:06 Oh, you know what I did miss though?

1:28:07 I missed the little tiny HalfLife logo at the top.

1:28:10 God damn it.

1:28:12 Guess I have to make another one.

1:28:13 But I have faithfully recreated all of the sounds.

1:28:16 I would really like a cold one right now.

1:28:20 I would like a cold one right now.

1:28:26 Push yourself.

1:28:30 Push yourself.

1:28:32 Wisely done.

1:28:33 Mr.

1:28:34 Freeman.

1:28:35 Wisely done.

1:28:37 Mr.

1:28:37 Freeman.

1:28:41 Have you been able to get the beverage machine to work yet?

1:28:49 Have you been able to get the beverage machine to work yet?

1:28:54 And I even added one of my own that really should have been in the original

1:29:00 about that beer I owed you.

1:29:02 And then we have the portal button.

1:29:04 The button had a lower volume mode and a higher volume mode

1:29:07 and I was able to still integrate that part of the circuit.

1:29:10 So we'll turn it on high volume.

1:29:13 And I just included a couple of iconic noises from Portal

1:29:22 1500 megawatt Aperture Science heavyduty super colliding super button.

1:29:27 You're doing very well.

1:29:30 And my personal favorite.

1:29:33 Fatty adopted fatty.

1:29:35 Fatty fatty.

1:29:36 No parents.

1:29:37 What a classic.

1:29:38 But yeah, the button was way easier to make.

1:29:41 There was just so much more room inside of this thing.

1:29:44 At their cores though, they are pretty much the same thing.

1:29:46 This has AAA's.

1:29:48 This has a lithium-ion battery from a vape.

1:29:50 I think the speaker in this one is a little bit bigger physically,

1:29:54 so it doesn't sound quite as overdriven

1:29:56 as this one cuz this one is like almost passable.

1:30:00 This decreases the expected lifespan of my eard drums.

1:30:03 And what would a bottle opener video be if I didn't play it on low battery?

1:30:08 Okay, I've got it hooked up here to the variable power supply.

1:30:11 We're going to kind of be simulating a low battery mode.

1:30:15 I mean, as much as I'd love to sit here and just

1:30:17 open like 10,000 bottles with this thing to kill the battery,

1:30:20 I don't exactly have time for that.

1:30:22 So, this should do.

1:30:23 All right, this is 3.7 volts.

1:30:25 In theory, this is just regular full battery.

1:30:30 Oh, yeah.

1:30:31 I forgot to mention it does that when you turn it on.

1:30:33 Okay, there's your baseline for full battery.

1:30:35 Now, we're going to take it down a little bit.

1:30:39 Oh, you can hear it whining.

1:30:40 Kind of weird.

1:30:41 Okay, this is 3.3 volts.

1:30:46 Like a cold one right now.

1:30:48 It's kind of screeching a little bit.

1:30:51 2.8 volts.

1:30:57 This should help.

1:30:58 Okay.

1:30:59 Still kind of sounds fine.

1:31:00 2 volts.

1:31:03 Oh, it's done.

1:31:04 It's done at 2 volts.

1:31:05 Oh, okay.

1:31:05 Hey, we got to go up 2.3 volts.

1:31:11 Have you been able to get the beverage machine to work yet?

1:31:15 That kind of sounds awful, but really not too bad.

1:31:17 Okay, we're just going to go back up now.

1:31:19 We're at like 3.5 volts,

1:31:21 and I'm just going to turn the voltage down as it plays.

1:31:24 Here we go.

1:31:27 About that beer I owed you.

1:31:29 What the heck?

1:31:32 Like a cold one right now.

1:31:39 Well, that's kind of antilimactic.

1:31:43 Wisely done, Mr.

1:31:44 Freeman.

1:31:46 Oh, it gets kind of weird around 2.3.

1:31:51 Have you been able to get the beverage machine to work yet?

1:31:57 About that beer I owed you.

1:32:04 Nicely done, Mr.

1:32:07 [laughter] Able to get the beverage machine to work yet.

1:32:15 About that beer.

1:32:15 I ought to one right now.

1:32:20 There we go.

1:32:21 Hold on.

1:32:28 Done, Mr.

1:32:29 Freder.

1:32:35 That one was completely unintelligible.

1:32:42 [laughter] About that.

1:32:44 Okay.

1:32:45 Well, it's not going to get too goofy because

1:32:47 the pie is always going to get constant voltage.

1:32:49 And we can't really vary the voltage of the pi cuz

1:32:51 it'll just immediately cut out and it won't do anything too goofy.

1:32:54 That wasn't too bad.

1:32:56 It was something.

1:32:57 All right.

1:32:57 Well, thank you for watching my build video of the Halflife bottle opener.

1:33:02 Oh, hold on.

1:33:03 I got to put it back together so I can open my Jones soda.

1:33:08 About that beer I owed you.

1:33:12 One right now.

1:33:15 Thank you for watching.

1:33:16 This is my second channel, by the way.

1:33:18 My main channel is Bringing Studios.

1:33:20 It's in the description, probably.

1:33:22 Also, if you want some Gordens, I had to buy quite a few of those stickers.

1:33:27 They're on sheets of eight.

1:33:29 There'll be a link in the description to the Etsy store.

1:33:31 I'll see you in the next one.

1:33:33 Fatty adopted.

1:33:35 Fatty.

1:33:36 Fatty.

1:33:36 Fatty.

1:33:36 No parents.

1:33:39 In a world where gamers are no longer

1:33:42 respected by the companies that they once loved.

1:33:45 Any plans to make [music] this playable on PC?

1:33:48 Uh, we don't have any plans at the moment to do uh PC.

1:33:54 Do you guys not have phones?

1:33:55 Yeah, you guys.

1:33:56 It's up to one man to show the masses that they

1:33:59 don't have to accept what [music] these corporations are doing to them.

1:34:03 He's shown them that the people are the ones

1:34:05 in control and they can choose to take their gaming elsewhere.

1:34:09 He's proved that gaming can take place on any [music] device,

1:34:12 no matter how hard they might try to stop you.

1:34:15 My mind is actually blown right now that I'm installing Windows

1:34:18 on a [music] Mac Mini because I couldn't use Linux properly on my PS4.

1:34:22 Also, I can play RetroArchch [music] on a Leaprog

1:34:26 and that you can do so at any time and in any place.

1:34:30 I'm gaming in here.

1:34:32 And when they needed him the most, he returned.

1:34:38 Which brings us to today.

1:34:41 Not going to lie, I saw the rabbit R1 and from the start,

1:34:45 I kind of assumed it was just going to be a giant meme.

1:34:48 And what do you know?

1:34:49 It became a giant meme.

1:34:51 And as an investor in the meme economy,

1:34:53 I decided it was time to do my part and do a little gaming on the Rabbit R1.

1:34:59 And before I completely obliterate this thing,

1:35:02 I do want to at least see what it's capable of right out of the box,

1:35:05 even though I already know that it's not much.

1:35:07 [music] If seal has been broken or tampered with, do not give

1:35:11 the clear receipt [music] unless contents

1:35:13 are examined in presence of delivering agent.

1:35:17 H.

1:35:17 Yes.

1:35:18 Yes.

1:35:19 Well, I'll have to call my delivering agent and give

1:35:22 him my clear receipt cuz this thing's getting broken.

1:35:25 And oh yeah, we're tampering with it.

1:35:28 It's very bright.

1:35:29 Very brightly orange.

1:35:31 Like I think it's peing my camera's sensor.

1:35:33 It looks a lot more orange in person.

1:35:35 You know, of all the AI grifter stuff that's out there right now,

1:35:39 at least this one's kind of interesting considering

1:35:41 most applications of consumer AI right now are,

1:35:44 "Mom, look, I made you." Doesn't this thing double as like a stand?

1:35:51 Please peel off the mask with this sticker.

1:35:54 Well, don't mind if I do.

1:35:56 Wait, no, no.

1:35:59 This is a free screen protector.

1:36:02 Oh.

1:36:02 Oh, she did.

1:36:04 That's all right.

1:36:05 That has nothing to do with me reclaiming my screen protector.

1:36:09 We now have a little gamer goop, but all the best devices do.

1:36:13 What is in here?

1:36:15 Oh, sim card slot.

1:36:16 I'm supposed to have like a data connection for this, huh?

1:36:19 Well, we'll see what we can do about that later.

1:36:21 For now, I think we'll just give him a nice little rest.

1:36:25 You charge up, buddy.

1:36:26 You got a lot of work to do soon.

1:36:29 [music] Time to let this godforsaken piece of technology on my network.

1:36:36 Oh, okay.

1:36:38 Oh, you know, honestly, I thought it was going to have me use the scroll

1:36:41 wheel and then scroll through every single letter in the alphabet.

1:36:44 So, this is actually a nice surprise.

1:36:46 Go to rabbit.te/activate to link your account.

1:36:51 Uh, okay.

1:36:52 Rabbit hole.

1:36:54 Welcome.

1:36:54 I suppose I'm signing up then.

1:36:56 Why is this company allergic to capital letters?

1:37:00 Not in the subject.

1:37:01 Not in the email.

1:37:02 Somebody ought to go fix the shift keys over at Rabbit.

1:37:05 Full name Scrimmy.

1:37:07 Scan the QR code with your R1 to activate your device.

1:37:10 Easy enough.

1:37:11 Easy enough.

1:37:12 He said, "I would love to if you

1:37:14 could do anything." The The thing doesn't even Oh.

1:37:18 Oh.

1:37:20 [laughter] Ah, successfully linked to Scrimmy's account.

1:37:26 Oh, see, here it is.

1:37:27 This is the thing I thought it was going

1:37:28 to make me do to enter my Wi-Fi password.

1:37:31 How interesting and unique.

1:37:33 This makes my experience so much better.

1:37:35 21 21.

1:37:37 You stupid.

1:37:38 OTAA update required.

1:37:40 I really hope that this does not break what I was trying to do,

1:37:43 which uh let me show you.

1:37:44 So, this is how we're going to end up doing our gaming today.

1:37:47 Like the Chinese translator pen, this thing is also really just Android.

1:37:52 And this project R1 Escape by Agent Fabulous will

1:37:56 help us do all of the following Android trickery.

1:37:59 [music] It's actually pretty standard stuff as far as Android goes, I guess.

1:38:03 And I didn't see anything that said that you

1:38:05 had to have one on like the first firmware version.

1:38:08 So hopefully this does not cause any issues.

1:38:12 I just need to experience for myself the raw power of the Rabbit R1

1:38:16 as it is out of the box as I'm supposed to be using it.

1:38:19 Like we need a point of reference.

1:38:21 Are we going to end up making this thing better or will it be worse?

1:38:24 Which is extra concerning considering backup and restore stock coming soon.

1:38:29 [screaming] Which means currently there is no way to get this thing

1:38:32 back to rabbit mode once I install regular Android on it.

1:38:36 And that's a little bit spooky.

1:38:38 But you know what?

1:38:38 It'll be fine.

1:38:39 It'll be fine.

1:38:39 And turns out this thing is slower than I expected.

1:38:42 And I ran out of things to yap about.

1:38:44 So I'll see you guys in a minute.

1:38:47 [music] Oh, it's ready.

1:38:50 All right, rabbit.

1:38:51 Show me what you got.

1:38:53 I'm dizzy.

1:38:55 Hello.

1:38:56 I already forgot the tutorial.

1:38:57 Wasn't it?

1:38:58 Double click for camera.

1:39:00 No.

1:39:00 Yes.

1:39:02 Oo.

1:39:03 All right.

1:39:03 For the rest of the video, we're going to film the screen filming the desk.

1:39:08 You want to see what you guys look like?

1:39:11 Wait, I wanted to use the front camera.

1:39:14 All right.

1:39:15 Well, now we're analyzing the prison lap or not.

1:39:18 What is happening?

1:39:18 How do I use the front camera?

1:39:21 Oh, hey, look.

1:39:21 It's you.

1:39:22 There you are.

1:39:23 You're on TV.

1:39:24 Okay, so what happened with the picture that I accidentally took?

1:39:28 Oh, I mean, this is why Android devices typically have a dedicated back button.

1:39:34 I'm so lost that this is the only thing I can interface with.

1:39:37 This just flips the camera.

1:39:39 Do I hold it?

1:39:41 What is happening?

1:39:46 Let me see.

1:39:47 Based on the information shown in the image,

1:39:49 it appears that a compatibility message is being displayed.

1:39:52 The message [music] says this studio, if you're using a AMD.

1:39:56 All right, enough yapping.

1:39:57 Enough yapping.

1:40:00 Yeah, there we go.

1:40:01 All right, rabbit.

1:40:02 Let's see what you can do for my ego.

1:40:04 Who is Bringing Studios?

1:40:08 Bring Studios is a Brinkus Studios with the Brink Truck.

1:40:14 That is so Oh, that's something.

1:40:16 What can you tell me about the YouTuber Bringing Studios?

1:40:20 Searching for information on YouTuber Bringing Studios.

1:40:23 That's the image that comes up.

1:40:25 That's the profile picture for my second channel,

1:40:28 which you can check out by visiting the link in the description.

1:40:31 There's all kinds of fun stuff over there.

1:40:33 I looked at this thing.

1:40:34 I messed [music] with this thing.

1:40:35 And I did this thing right here.

1:40:37 It's like the regular channel, but worse.

1:40:40 Anyway, gaming content and tech experiments.

1:40:42 Huh.

1:40:42 Let's see just how well it knows about my gaming content and tech experiments.

1:40:47 [music] All right.

1:40:49 Are there any interesting YouTube videos

1:40:51 about installing emulators on this device?

1:40:57 [laughter] YouTube videos cover [music] installing

1:40:59 emulators on various devices including Windows, original Xbox, and Android.

1:41:05 Okay, thank you for that information about emulators on YouTube.

1:41:09 Okay, well that was a failure.

1:41:12 Are there any interesting YouTube videos about

1:41:14 gaming on this Chinese translator pen device?

1:41:18 I apologize, but the device pictured does not appear

1:41:21 to be a gaming [music] device or a translator pen.

1:41:24 Looks like a handheld TV or media player [music] device.

1:41:28 I would not be able to recommend any YouTube videos related to gaming

1:41:31 on this type [music] of device as that does not seem to be its intended purpose.

1:41:36 If you have any other questions about

1:41:38 the capabilities or functionality of this device,

1:41:40 I'd be [music] happy to try to assist further.

1:41:47 Not a gaming or Chinese translator device.

1:41:51 Imagine.

1:41:52 Imagine.

1:41:53 You know what?

1:41:53 No.

1:41:54 Screw this thing.

1:41:55 I wanted to see if it could do anything

1:41:56 interesting and all it is doing is throwing shade.

1:41:59 All right, it's Android time.

1:42:01 Supposedly, this is as simple as just running this one command.

1:42:04 R1.sh.

1:42:07 Let's see what she do.

1:42:10 [music] Oh, I think I'm supposed to do something.

1:42:13 Power off your device.

1:42:14 Press enter.

1:42:15 Plug it into your PC.

1:42:16 Okay, I'm just now realizing that I don't know how to turn it off.

1:42:21 How do I turn you off?

1:42:24 Oh, hey, that actually worked.

1:42:26 You've done one useful thing this whole time.

1:42:29 Destroying yourself.

1:42:30 Easy enough.

1:42:31 And because of the order that these instructions

1:42:33 are in, I'm actually going to unplug it.

1:42:35 Press enter.

1:42:36 Plug into PC.

1:42:38 Oh.

1:42:38 Oh.

1:42:39 Oh, wow.

1:42:40 It's going.

1:42:40 Holy.

1:42:41 Oh, wow.

1:42:42 That was fast.

1:42:43 Unplug your device.

1:42:44 Press enter.

1:42:45 Plug it back in.

1:42:46 Goodness, that was quick.

1:42:47 Oh, look at that.

1:42:48 Oh, wow.

1:42:50 I didn't even give you guys a chance to see what was happening.

1:42:52 Wa.

1:42:53 What is this?

1:42:54 Orange state.

1:42:54 [music] Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted.

1:43:00 Hello.

1:42:59 I saw that.

1:43:00 I saw the fast boot screen.

1:43:02 Okay, according to the script, we're done.

1:43:03 Is that really it?

1:43:07 Hey, don't look at me like that.

1:43:08 I don't like that.

1:43:09 Device is corrupted.

1:43:10 It can't be trusted.

1:43:11 May not work properly.

1:43:12 It kind of just keeps boot looping here.

1:43:15 H.

1:43:16 Oh, troubleshooting for Linux.

1:43:18 Ah, very nice.

1:43:20 It appears that it has failed to load system image

1:43:24 and it also could not generate an image for user data.

1:43:27 Okay, cool.

1:43:28 What if we just run it again?

1:43:31 [music] I wonder why it's saying that.

1:43:34 Ah, it's because I forgot to get the file.

1:43:36 How about now?

1:43:39 It looks like we're sending the system partition now.

1:43:42 Oh, two of 13.

1:43:45 All right, time jump.

1:43:48 Oh, it's doing it.

1:43:49 It's doing the thing.

1:43:53 [laughter] Get hacked, idiot.

1:43:56 Leave it to the prison laptop to jailbreak yet another stupid device.

1:44:01 Hi.

1:44:02 Two ominous lines.

1:44:04 I'm shocked that it really kind of just was that easy.

1:44:08 Start.

1:44:08 Connect to mobile.

1:44:09 I'd prefer not to.

1:44:11 I hope this Hello, bro.

1:44:13 This seems like it will be a very problematic DPI.

1:44:17 Hold on.

1:44:17 I think we [music] can change that real quick.

1:44:19 WM density 210.

1:44:25 There we go.

1:44:25 Oh, that's a bit better.

1:44:26 I think now is also probably a good time

1:44:28 to get some of the smegma off the screen.

1:44:33 Oh no, that made it so much worse.

1:44:35 No, I'm not a smegma spreader.

1:44:37 I swear.

1:44:38 Okay, there we go.

1:44:39 Now it's good.

1:44:41 This device isn't Play Protect certified.

1:44:44 Your device is not certified to run Google apps or use Google services.

1:44:47 Hm.

1:44:48 You know, for some reason, I'm not surprised.

1:44:50 I'm surprised this has Google services at all.

1:44:53 Cuz normally when you've got some cursed copy of Android that you

1:44:56 put on stuff like this, it doesn't have any of the Google stuff.

1:45:02 OH MY DUDE, STOP.

1:45:05 [screaming] WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

1:45:07 HOW do we turn the volume down?

1:45:08 There's no volume buttons.

1:45:09 The wheel The wheel is our savior.

1:45:11 Oh my goodness, that was loud.

1:45:14 Oh no, it didn't work.

1:45:16 It didn't work.

1:45:17 Please, for the love of God, stop, dude.

1:45:21 It's so loud.

1:45:23 It's peeking the microphone so badly.

1:45:26 Wow.

1:45:27 Let that be a lesson to everybody else doing this.

1:45:29 Be ready.

1:45:30 Anyway, now that our eardrums are all collectively blown out, it's Android.

1:45:35 We got the Play Store, which is not Play protected.

1:45:38 That's fine.

1:45:39 I don't care.

1:45:41 Uh, no.

1:45:42 Okay, maybe I do care.

1:45:44 All right, hold on.

1:45:45 There's some stuff I got to do to get Play Store to work.

1:45:50 All right, boys.

1:45:52 What are we playing?

1:45:53 Minecraft.

1:45:54 [music] Grand Theft Auto San Andreas inside of Netflix.

1:45:58 Is Moscow Life Simulator a real game?

1:46:01 Oh, that's sperm.

1:46:03 My mobile game brain is stuck in 2009.

1:46:06 I'm just like, uh, y'all want to play Angry Birds?

1:46:11 Before we get into anything too stinky, let's take a look at the specs.

1:46:15 So, it's 640x480.

1:46:17 That means the games are going to run really good.

1:46:20 4 gigs of RAM.

1:46:21 The recommended amount.

1:46:22 It's got a Helio G36 CPU.

1:46:26 One of the CPUs of all time.

1:46:28 Does this thing really have like 100 GB of storage?

1:46:32 That's like a lot.

1:46:34 100 gigs.

1:46:35 That's ridiculous.

1:46:36 Well, that's where all the cost went.

1:46:38 Camera's [music] not found.

1:46:39 It's right there.

1:46:40 Stupid.

1:46:40 79% battery.

1:46:42 That will not do.

1:46:43 The battery life, I've noticed, is not super good.

1:46:46 seems to drain quite quickly.

1:46:48 Well, shoot.

1:46:49 It's only got 1,000 milliamp hours.

1:46:51 Maybe that's why this truly is a uh Android device, I guess.

1:46:56 Angry Birds.

1:46:57 Set up your gamer profile.

1:46:59 Dreadful slogan 73 with the default skeleton.

1:47:03 I'm down with it.

1:47:04 Please specify your age to get an appropriate game experience.

1:47:08 What does that mean?

1:47:10 Is it going to determine the difficulty based on my age?

1:47:13 There's no way.

1:47:14 What is this for?

1:47:15 There's no way that's what it's for.

1:47:17 All right, we're 99.

1:47:18 This level has two rooms.

1:47:20 This is so complicated, dude.

1:47:24 Nope.

1:47:23 What is happening?

1:47:24 Why?

1:47:25 Go.

1:47:25 Oh, it's cuz I'm in the tutorial.

1:47:27 Okay.

1:47:28 Activate Red's ability.

1:47:30 Go.

1:47:31 Whoa.

1:47:33 What the heck?

1:47:33 They fly at the screen.

1:47:34 They fly now,

1:47:36 dude.

1:47:36 #notmy Angry Birds.

1:47:38 All right, what else we got?

1:47:40 Can we watch Netflix?

1:47:42 No way.

1:47:42 I have single-handedly made the Rabbit R1 a usable device.

1:47:47 There is no chance you could watch Breaking Bad on the stock operating system.

1:47:51 It simply would not happen.

1:47:54 But can we play Grand Theft Auto Netflix?

1:47:58 Nope.

1:47:57 Downloading Final Resources to complete installation.

1:48:01 Oh, we don't have time for this.

1:48:03 Time for another time jump.

1:48:10 There we go.

1:48:11 That's what I'm talking about.

1:48:13 Oh, this is going to be awful to control.

1:48:15 Oh, I have an idea.

1:48:17 Okay.

1:48:18 Does Bluetooth work?

1:48:19 Let's find out.

1:48:20 Oh my god, it totally does.

1:48:22 All right.

1:48:22 I've had this thing since I was like 14.

1:48:25 Yeah, you know where we're going with this.

1:48:29 And in you go.

1:48:31 [laughter] Now we are gaming.

1:48:34 Allow access to my contacts and call history.

1:48:38 Yeah, that seems like a good idea.

1:48:40 Okay.

1:48:43 Oh no, I don't think they've got Bluetooth working yet.

1:48:47 Oh, that is so sad.

1:48:49 That's actually devastating.

1:48:51 Oh no, it just simply wasn't meant to be.

1:48:55 I wonder if this thing works over a USB.

1:48:57 What are the odds?

1:48:59 No, [music] it just charges it.

1:49:01 Well, that's sad.

1:49:02 All right, that's actually so lame.

1:49:07 We can't do that either, dude.

1:49:09 Yeah, they just haven't gotten USB working either.

1:49:12 Oh, that is brutal.

1:49:15 This just sucks because I know that they're

1:49:17 going to get it working at some point, but that time is not right now.

1:49:21 Wait, hold on.

1:49:21 I figured it out.

1:49:22 Okay, so Bluetooth is just[ __] It does not work.

1:49:25 USB host, that doesn't work either.

1:49:27 However, we can connect this thing to a computer

1:49:30 and then run a tool called screen copy.

1:49:33 Open that up.

1:49:34 And look at that.

1:49:36 Wh we can control this guy through our computer.

1:49:38 And that's all fine and dandy, but that's not very conducive to gaming, right?

1:49:42 But ladies and gentlemen, it is all worth it because

1:49:45 with our controller connected to the PC over Bluetooth,

1:49:49 and I have to use this very,

1:49:51 very specific version of the program that has gamepad support,

1:49:55 we can just highlight this here window.

1:49:58 And we are gaming.

1:50:01 Oh, the dream is alive and well, folks.

1:50:03 Unfortunately, with that USB cable positioning,

1:50:06 this is going to be a little awkward, but look at that.
