Sorry to the other narrators, but ONLY Lexi can do Tech Support Gore, she takes this and just makes it 10 times better 😉 Would be awesome to have her narrate more stuff, it's a whole new level of immersion! Hint Hint LexiKitty Lexplanations 😂
4:09 First time seeing Lexi's face and: 1. Gorgeous (sucker for coloured hair) 2. My hairstyle is the same, just short and black (still growing it) (For context, I'm transfemale too!)
Sadly for this example, soldering is a quite silent task. It's just melting metal with a hot stick. A lot of these smaller disciplines aren't really loud at all, apart from the quickly worn out cooling fans in the computers.
@@SpineBones That sounds like welding, which does get a little loud, but soldering is heating up a soft metal, and the connectors you want to fuse together, using what can be described as a screwdriver mixed with a heating element. Sometimes you can even use a hot air gun.
In an internship I did a long time ago they said the technician broke the usb port on a multi million dollar DED metal 3d printer. One where it has a door so you can walk inside. I don't know who actually broke it but its crazy how no matter where it is someone will manage to smash the port.
I'm 100% sure such cable management is not a thing in Singapore, those guys are very thorough with their infrastructure, probably more than anywhere else in the world.
I have an idea... Lexi, you should host a full IT course based on hardware and software gore. Seriously, you pass on a LOT of knowledge when you do those subreddits. If nothing else, it would be an AWESOME addition to a standard IT course - like a Best Practices class - if you can't do a full course with it.
9:50 Slurpee. Icee. Ice cream. Gatorade. Milkshake. Probably milkshake based on the shade. It's not brownish red enough for dried hemoglobin stains. 10:20 hope it's also on a separate table or the tower isn't on the same table. Those things have some surprisingly fragile voodoo inside of them.
I love Lexi explainations, cause I know nothing about electronics and I wouldn't know where to start with questions, but she explains everything without making me feel stupid and answers questions I would have never even thought to ask but are very important to know the answers to :)
When Lexi was explaining how the costco distribution rack worked, I thought her explanation was really cool, but I kept having to rewind the video to listen because I was distracted by the sign saying 54oz Skittles- $9.99 in the bottom right corner (For those who don't speak American, 54 oz is about 1.5 kilos)
When I was in Hanoi a few years back the government was making an attempt to sort out some of the cable tangles. Not an enviable job in a city that can run hot, then dump an inch of water on you then steam until the sun goes down.
The fact that I knew the answers to all of these makes me realize I've grown a lot as a server administrator since I finished classes. Almost 6 years working with servers gives you so much experience...... and sadness....
That brick is way too small for 500W. The wire is also way too thin for 100A. You could probably get like 120W from a brick like that but not sure. I think I might have been Whooshed.
That's Bali is Wild. I can confirm that because I lived just overseas of Bali, most of our fibers and the Grids are like that. and when there is a leftover, we just hang it on the tower because well sometime someone setting up a new Internet.

"Aluminum shelving just _riiiips_ through wireless signal" Home Depot employee here, can confirm our store acts as a bit of an impromptu faraday cage when you don't have line of sight to an exit door. You could have adequate cell connection on Aisle 6, and then just _none_ on Aisle 5.
oof, now i wonder if someone was crazy enough to zap all the shelves with tesla coil energy would they work as a faraday in that form... i cant help but think of that when ever something is like a faraday cage. for low power anyway. i know once things get to a set point they just melt shit with the electricity causing so much heat.
As a customer, in some stores you wind up with better reception going away from the entrance. Which always feels so backwards. I never considered it much but I'm pretty sure those places have all those high shelving units right by the entrance. Probably get the signal through a drywall by a window further in. That's my guess anyway.
A solution is only temporary as long as it is still working. That router will be hanging there until they need some busy work and have nothing better to do or it falls and they get some double sided tape and stick it to the wall.
Another tip for the temporary camera cover - bandaid. Put the gauze pad over the lens, adhesive is ment to not leave residue, etc. Use until you get something better.
I always enjoy hearing Lexi narrate these tech subreddits because I'm always learning something about technology I never knew before. It's great. Thank you, Lexi, for making me less dumb.
So fun fact about the Supercharger at 12:00 It actually is a 5v power brick, and was built back in the time when the usb spec would allow for current draw up until the voltage dropped. It worked just fine and, according to OP, would charge the phones it was built for in half the time of their standard chargers.
Polarized AC plug means a plug that has one blade wider than the other, typically used in switched appliances to guarantee the "live" pin is the one to be switched. Grounded appliances typically have the same size blades because the grounding pin aligns the plug the correct way.

1:48 the one that my school told me to buy has solar and i can just beat it up to get the screen to not be faded anymore i love that calculator i find it funny how it just like i punch it when its text is faded, it goes to normal, i do it again, its faded again actually i just realised it wasnt faded in a while like this entire year
4:00 - ah yes. The classic story: Your parents wanted you to be in a Rock Band (you know, for security an being future proof and having a career and so on), but you little rebel didn't want any of that and went into electrical engineering!
it´s always funny to see the comment section afterwards, with comments confirming more or less detailed everything Lexi has told us just before. if i wanted to read the comment section itself, i would´ve browsed the subreddit. but only EmKay provides us with Lexi´s singing voice, wich makes it far more superior.
7:45 I happen to know for a fact that all he needs to do is run that USB to his device, rather than to the wall. The USB will supply power and they can access their data AND network through it... but they'll never be able to access it with that network cable... they should get decent speeds for a backup too, as long as it's USB3.0+
I started using Prestone 50/50 premixed antifreeze in my cooling loop about two years ago. Glowing green aint my first choice in color, but the system runs cool and clean...no grunge clogging the coolers. RTX4090 (was GTX1080Ti), EKWB cooling blocks, dual 240mm rads, i7 7900K mobo, CPU on cooling loop. Blender, Auto1111, ComfyUI, COLMAP & Meshroom (photogrammetry apps) are my current go-to fun toys... Not sure if I wanna play with a local ChatBot installation....I have enough problems with voices in my head already.
when i worked for Kmart our wireless network for our portable scanners had a box like that we had to reboot once in a while when they were acting up we literally had to go up a ladder to reset it
Don't be sorry for explaining before reading the comments that explain the exact same thing is a little bit of a different way. When you are learning, It is helpful to hear things in different ways!
9:39 We used liquid cooling in servers far longer than in desktops, an in recent years, with 96+ core CPU and +400W GPUs, liquid cooling is a hard requirement. :D
Once I was trying to shove My phone charger into my school-issued Chromebook (since I can charge a phone by stealing power from the Chromebook) And it wouldn’t go in and I was flipping it and flipping it and was like “why won’t this go in?” And then I checked the charger Somehow I’d managed to get the sticky-outy bit from my charging block stuck in the usb end of my charger. My dad was able to get it out with tweezers and the charger worked for a few more months before dying but the block was just done
17:38 that’s like what happened to my laptop. The way I had it “fixed” was to have a friend of mine “decapitate” it, and I plugged it into a tv or monitor to use it.
For the tech rack near the roof in Costco, it should be high as possible because it is also less likely to be struck by forklifts and pallets being carried on those forklifts. They can be very wild drivers and so they can't be easily vandalized as well in addition to what lexi explained.
Lexi most of those cable on the pole are fiber optics. Our Electrical company (goverment owned) did a good job, while the ISP cabling are a free for all zone
I work school IT for a career Tech school and while we don't have extenders hanging from walls we do have a network rack setup in a custodian closet in a boys bathroom. We hire students workers and cant take our female workers into that closet during school hours. And have to do a search of the bathroom after hours if she needs to go into said closet. Plus we have to have empty RJ-45 cable ends to fill open ports to prevent rust from forming on the contacts
Speaking of spilling stuff into keyboards... About a decade ago I had my computer set up in the living room and I'd leave my very large (about 1.75 liter) mug of sweet tea next to the keyboard when I went to bed because I'd just finish it the next day. Suddenly almost every morning I'd find the cup tipped over and spilled into my keyboard. I eventually figured out one of the cats really liked my sweet tea and would sneak onto the desk after I went to bed to try to drink it and if it was too low she'd stick her body down into the cup to get to it then flip the thing over trying to get out. The keyboard never seemed to care though, despite getting drowned dozens of times. Also, really enjoy you doing the tech gore, the little explanations you give are nice for figuring out what's wrong.
1:17 - I have used an SD-card as a system drive in a Commodore Amiga 1200. Worked like a charm and was much faster than any drive (from its original era of course, lol). SDcard held up good until...I sold the machine. p.s.: yes I KNOW those use cases aren't comparable :P
Double sided tape and an alcohol wipe... Old busted laptops are great! I have a server farm for multiple games for my friends and I to play on our own private servers. I used busted laptops off of ebay for them. Removed all the monitors and used a ribbon-hdmi to plug them all into one monitor.
0:06 Hi, Singaporean here, Lexi. No, we do not have these kinds of overhead power lines in Singapore, at least for the last 30 years I've been alive. Ever since the introductions of our public housing buildings(HDB), our power lines have been underground. AFAIK, the only places where you MIGHT find power cables overhead is for festive signage along the road in Little India(like during Deepavali), and even then, the main power source is still underground.
0:32 *Thanks! I've been using a Flash drive as a DVR memory and exceeded the R/W cycles after a few months.* *Also..... 8 Tb flashdrives don't exist. It's a 64gb that lies about its capacity.*
that data rack installed as a cloud server has to be a workplace health and safety violation. not that it stops anyone but in Australia maximum height to the top of the cabinet is 1.8m (loosely six foot). the height that thing was at would require heights safety tickets, a harness, fall arrest gear, SWMS, exclusion zones just to check if a cable is plugged in
2:20 During my senior year of high school, the wireless access point in the gym wrestling room got knocked off the ceiling at some point and was dangling by an ethernet cable below my eye level. It obviously had PoE, since it was still working, but it took weeks for the school to fix it.
The one with the 120v fan cooling the SSD, I'm with you Lexi, I'd have used a 12v fan as well. ...Of course, I'd have used a server-grade Delta 12v 120mm fan. You know the ones. The ones that when used en-masse are the reason you probably need hearing protection when you enter a server room? Yeah, those ones. That or a Noctua iPPC 3000RPM 12v fan, if I can't find the Delta ones. Thinking of using those Noctua fans in my next PC build. I want maximum cooling but also a quiet idle. No better fan for that than Noctua from my experience, and the iPPC line being industrial-grade fans that go up to a maximum of 3000 rpm instead of the usual 1700 maximum RPM means you get more airflow, which is what people usually think you need to sacrifice when using Noctua fans.
The best fan to use is the one you already have lying around nearby. I have a 120v fan 6 inches from my chair right now which can be plugged into any wall outlet. I do have some spare 12v fans but if I"m not working inside a PC I won't have easy access to a fan header.

Sadly for this example, soldering is a quite silent task. It's just melting metal with a hot stick. A lot of these smaller disciplines aren't really loud at all, apart from the quickly worn out cooling fans in the computers.
@@PanthereaLeonis really? The videos I've seen have like
Sparks of electricity melting the metal
Have I been lied to?
@@SpineBones That sounds like welding, which does get a little loud, but soldering is heating up a soft metal, and the connectors you want to fuse together, using what can be described as a screwdriver mixed with a heating element. Sometimes you can even use a hot air gun.
@@SpineBonesWere you perhaps watching welding videos instead?

2:20 During my senior year of high school, the wireless access point in the gym wrestling room got knocked off the ceiling at some point and was dangling by an ethernet cable below my eye level. It obviously had PoE, since it was still working, but it took weeks for the school to fix it.
This guy is a tech wizard nice
The one with the 120v fan cooling the SSD, I'm with you Lexi, I'd have used a 12v fan as well.
...Of course, I'd have used a server-grade Delta 12v 120mm fan. You know the ones. The ones that when used en-masse are the reason you probably need hearing protection when you enter a server room? Yeah, those ones.
That or a Noctua iPPC 3000RPM 12v fan, if I can't find the Delta ones. Thinking of using those Noctua fans in my next PC build. I want maximum cooling but also a quiet idle. No better fan for that than Noctua from my experience, and the iPPC line being industrial-grade fans that go up to a maximum of 3000 rpm instead of the usual 1700 maximum RPM means you get more airflow, which is what people usually think you need to sacrifice when using Noctua fans.
The best fan to use is the one you already have lying around nearby. I have a 120v fan 6 inches from my chair right now which can be plugged into any wall outlet. I do have some spare 12v fans but if I"m not working inside a PC I won't have easy access to a fan header.
