Hey, if you even need more SHOCKING tests, just give me a call!! It was a fun day!
ello
Lol you are crazy
@Linus Tech Tips e
You have no idea how long i was waiting for this co-lab
Hello
ITBETTERBEDEADNOWDAMNIT
Take the mask off for fucks sake, that’s cringe as hell
The awesome bed phenomenologically spare because bookcase immunochemically grease between a amusing archer. obese, glistening glorious organisation
such synchronized screaming at 9:14
Is this guy and Micheal Reeves relatives? :D
this episode is the most “arghhh””auchhh””ahhhh”episode i have ever seen in LTT😂
Oh hey it's the electric guitar guy from that Tumblr post a few years ago.
Der deutsche Untertitel-Autor hatte Spaß, oder? (The german caption-author had a bit of fun, right?) 0:24: "brandneuen Kotze" (-> brand new puke)
Why is the "dil*o" part not bleeped
Look at Linus' hair lmao in the mid of the vid
19:33 dat motion
Never used any grounding never got a dead ram...
16:30 he loves S&M
This was fun
BULLSHIT.. after years of building, repairing and testing hundreds of PCs and refusing to wear the stupid strap
Is this the crossover that we need? of course yeah
Isn't saying "ESD discharge" like saying "ATM machine"?
i didnt know this guy but i like him
Why are two healthy ppl wearing masks? It doesn't make sense.....they seem pretty smart but I dunno
Nobody is asking if his Apple Watch still works? 😂
Shock therapies does work...
Wearings masks yet making contact lmao
It looks really hard to break electronics with human touch ESD. Maybe it's because the cheap electronics don't have small enough circuitry to be as vulnerable? Good protective design and grounding? Perhaps what they taught me in college about ESD on old computers just isn't as relevant to today, but I'd still take precautions just because the parts I want to use today are expensive.
How to know if its a good ram give it a static shock if it lives its a good ram...congrats :v
This is amazing.
Waiting for Michael Reeves and Electroboom colab.
After this ladies are gonna love his fingers
Unfortunately 😂😂
when the two smart kids are grouped together for the project
I have static hit everyday on the job, I am already fear of metal doors, help ...
"No RAM has been hurt in the making of this video"
Legends say Mahdi takes electricity instead of coffee as stimulant
19:30 dshshhshsshhshshshsshshshshshsahhahaahah
Vaya dos genios
When I was working at Microsoft I saw someone fry their computer inserting additional ram. That was actually kind of funny, you would think a person working at Microsoft would have enough sense on the risk of electro static. The rug in that building was so bad, I was shocked on just about every door handle I touched every single day.
I wear Livestrong bracelet for anti static
I never grounded myself when building my pc. They couldnt kill it without shooting directly on the ram with the machine which is made to kill them.
Two of my favorite ROonesrs in the same video!! Woot woot!
14:43 Mmm good.. One more? lol
FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER!
I want that gun. I don't know why, but I need it. NOW!!
I want to spend 20 minutes with electroboom
this was epic
"i am fully charged" *linus about to touch the ram stick* me: better get my sandvich ready
> Me: sure buddy
An electric guitar literal 1:45
its your best video man^^ do more crossovers with other people
ExpressVPN 😂
I've never worn a static strap. I've never shocked a pc or any component to death, i usually rest my forearms on the case before i touch anything inside/while i'm touching things inside. If i see you wearin' a static strap and you're not working on a ridiculously expensive PC or server i'm gonna call you names.
Linux fucked up 😂 Will buy ltt static proof jacket so no one can mess around.
I probably should've died from touching the insides of a PSU.. but I didn't.
One of the most fun videos I watched on ltt since I have subscribed
The 1.9k people who disliked this are in for a real "shock!"
10:02 we can break it in half xD!!!
The crossover we didnt know we needed
Static destroyed my PC charger. It's super easy.
13:00 "How about gimme 1 hurts (hertz?)" lol So wish you didn't wear those stupid useless masks. It took away from your faces which makes this episode attractive
Jackass tips
Why does LTT have so much Finalmouses?
"Should I be holding this while you do that?" "Let's find out!!" I love Mehdi
Some years later people will be facepalming for wearing masks.
i never wear a strap for esd. I never had an issue
magic module
Two of my most favorite techie ROonesrs hurting eachother😂
Which Phone do you use ???🇳🇱🇳🇱
*puts copper on back of a gpu and presses down and shorts it out*
Dude donate me a GPU even a 750 ti is enough lol
monkaW stop it
ElectroBoom: "It wasn't me it was him" he says as he points the zap gun
man that intro really improved
Khhhhh lmao what a funny episode
My bother ruins computer by touching the components with his barehands or two pairs of gloves you'd get from a restaurant
that is nokia dude
I wouldn’t have kept that watch on😂
ESD is a myth, GTFO.
Linus taught me what a tuque was, a Canadian term for a warm winter hat.
Whenever I take off a jacket or something and hear a bunch of static build up, I always go to touch some metal to discharge before I handle anything electronic.
c
Not a very accurate test but very funny. I do ESD at work it’s not fun when you get a single discharge with a contact tip
The idea of having a Air contact tip is to simulate the human finger you don’t need to zap a human and charge them lol 😂
When ww2 and you fought hitler and he survives "He's alive, huhuhu"
Heh, I am covered in wood. :)
Linus tech tips can I pls have a pc from you. You make the best PCs ever and buy the best ones to I love your content 😇🤟🏽❤️
admit it, we love linus getting zapped xD
this was shocking to watch
This is why I keep my cats away from my PC. They'll want to rub themselves against it or even get close to it, my PC not only risks getting a static shock that basically turns it off and back on, but some fur that my cats shed can find it's way into the PC case and could probably cause some damage. Also I don't know if my PC will blow up or if I'll get horribly shocked one day if static gets to my PC
The best colab I have seen ever
try polyester clothing material.
That intro of Linus screaming with a closed mouth is the scariest sound I've ever heard. That will haunt me.
19:33 Linus Sex Tips
Two prehistorical man first knowing electrical shock
ESD Discharge; brought to you by the US Department of Redundancy Department of the US.
I'm the only one care about his watch ? :O
I wonder if Linus's smart watch still works
16:09 I never thought I’d see the day that the word sadge or anything close to that would show up in a Linus video
Linus... Unlimited. The correct phrase is "Unlimited power"
To be fair, that apple watch held up great XD
Great video!!! I've been in the habit of touching something metal, like a computer case, before handline any electronics internals. But after working on tens of thousands computer, I don't think I've ever damage a computer part with static, and I never use ESD bands. Take that as you will...
Ok guys i need some help. I have a ryzen 2200g with vega 8 apu combo. I am using a Samsung TV (60hz) its a really old TV tbh from like 5+ year ago. One day i was playing, and all sudden my screen got really dull. like 1/2 of the original brightness, i didnt think too much of it since it was late at night and i just turned up game brightness. Next day I found that all applications were much darker, even tho tv brightness was even more than before. THEN I was watching youtube and left it on mainpage for few. When I came back and tuned on a video, i could still see the youtube mainpage, its like a ghost imagine / 'Screen burn'. Ever since that problem happened i get this issue, but ingame everything is perfectly fine, only when i let the tv sit 5mins on same screen it like burns in the imagine. I have done some research and found that cpu/gpu dont cause this problem its cause by the monitor/tv. However just hour ago, same thing happened to my brothers tv, so we are both very sus that its a problem with pc ( more for him since his pc actually turned off, signed him out of microsoft and tried to do a system recovery by itself. He has i7 something so not the same build just same seller.). We both got our pcs premade from ebay, from the same seller, the price was great for what the description included, and overall my experience with the pc is being great compare to what i had on my laptop. I mainly want to ask anyone who might know, can this be a pc issue? I have contacted both the seller, and the warranty company explaining the issue, but i thought id get faster reply here anyway. From my research it points to my old tv ( his tv is similar and old too) I had used it for maybe 4/5 months prior to the issue, now ive used it for another 4 months with the issue thinking its my tv problem all along untill this happened to my brother. (just as i ordered a new monitor lol...) 1 last thing to mention, when i can see the ghosting, if i try to unplug my hdmi cable from tv, turn off the tv and turn it back on without hdmi plugged into pc, i can still see the images burned in, even tho pc is not plugged in, which im 70% confident its tv issue, but now its happened to my brother, I just want to confirm it. Also his ghosting is nowhere near as bad, and goes away with restart. If anyone has any clue or ideas for me to try, i would really appreciate it:)
one of the funniest episodes of LTT. Got some good belly laughs.
