I mean, there is no way this is causing issues, the gaps are large enough to let through most 2.4ghz and 5.0ghz signals, I cant think of really any wavelength that could be blocked by that...
Yeah, I knew people who proposefully targeted those cages. They broke them sometimes, and someone even managed to take out an entire light. They hit it just right with a ball and kocked the chains, holding it on the ceiling loose, cuasing the whole thing to fall to the ground and shatter.
10:26 The thinking about "give the laptop a *_gentle_* thwack" is probably a holdover from the Spinning Rust days, when hard drives might have a bit too much sticktion to get going, and so a nice bonk - _critically, while powered off, which the IT person did say to do_ - can potentially unstick it. Whacking the laptop _while the rust is spinning_ on the other hand, very good odds you just TH-camd all your data.
This was also standard maintenance for the Apple III. That was the first Apple to try and use pure convective cooling without fans, which worked so poorly that the chips would actually slowly work their way out of the sockets. Thumping it against the desk was a quick way to reseat them.
I feel like @okaytuesday meant "the thing" that happens in the picture like a battery inflating or some obscure niche component misbehaving that Lexi worked on in the past
Those access points works a lot better when ceiling mounted. They have antennas on each side. Mounting on a wall basically means that you "lose" the effect of two antennas. Most gyms have a high ceiling, but the installer was probably lazy and selected a bad place to mount it. Hiring a scissor lift or building scaffolding to reach the ceiling is expensive too.
@@ehsnils I wouldn't say "lazy". You're right, most gyms do have high ceilings. VERY high. So high that mounting a WAP up there wouldn't really do anyone much good as the signal would be pretty weak by the time it got to any device. This is likely the result of the Gym owner. or whoever approves the spending, not buying the right type of WAP to be mounted this way (likely because this one was cheaper)
@@lyianx I have mounted quite a number of access points and free line of sight is more important. "Very High" - that's then above 20 meters and it's even then not a problem. So all I see is a cost cutting activity.
The wifi adapter in 1:40 is busted, somewhere in the chipset was short circuiting and causes the 2.4 Ghz channel be pumping signals when it shouldn't be.
10:10 this is a legit thing, sometimes laptop components shift slightly, or dislodge some, and gentle force can shake them back in place, FUN FACT old Apple computers notoriously had parts get loose during shipping, and support (AND MANUALS) would tell the customer to drop the ENTIRE COMPUTER from a height of 2-3 feet to the floor to re seat parts
Had this very old laptop, 1994 iirc has Windows 95 on it. I pulled it out a couple of years ago to boot it up. Sadly the hard drive wasn't working. Took it out, and firmly but gently hit it against my desk, reinstalled it and turned it on. It booted right up. Shut it down, took the drive back out, and cloned the drive to an ISO so that if I ever get another 100MB (or whatever it is) hard for that, I can just reclone it. It has the original DOOM on it and a few other games. lol Did the same with a 1.5 TB drive that I had that was dying. Knocked it back into working, just long enough that I was able to copy all the data off of it. Not even joking, 2 minutes after the copy was finished, the drive just poofed from existence. Windows did it's sound for hardware being unplugged. the drive wouldn't show back up ever again. RIP that drive, it went through a lot of data in it's 10 year or so life.
THANK YOU! One of my old buddies had an IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad *with a manual* that recommended this very thing. I wish I would've taken a photo or something, that's BY FAR the funniest thing I've ever read in official laptop documentation.
holy shit really!? like a bit of percussive maintenance sure, but i cant imagine telling people(in a manual!) to drop something with a spinning disk from that height i guess they arent built like they used to be lmao
@@hannahlamond7710 im specifically referring to like the first handful of apple computers released, if memory serves, you can look into yourself. Also, they wouldnt be plugged in when dropped
Oh, it's *better* than that! The Apple III did have that "drop the entire computer from a height" thing, but it wasn't because of shipping damage, it was because Steve Jobs, in an effort to make the computer run quietly, decided that there should be no cooling fans in it *at all* . And the heat dissipation was so bad that the chips *creeped out of their sockets* from the thermal cycling.
10:32 Laptop was having massive keyboard delay whenever gpu was under stress, smacked the bottom right corner out of anger, just a light tap, and fixed it, never came back

I'm absolutely amazed how your mum is able to use it. I never had any pleasant experience using one. Really shows how some techs can be tailored to specific num of consumers.
10:33 theres a real reason that it sometimes fixes an issue to hit things , its called percussive maintenance and can sometimes knock back into place a loose or bent connection somewhere
5:33 external GPUs are a thing now that are becoming slowly more popular. So it's probably some sort of external GPU that you can detach. Yeah you probably really want to safely eject that one. I can't imagine Windows handling suddenly losing a GPU very well.
Happened a few times. It's alright. Your pc shuts off, maybe something corrupted, but that pc was still working. Think the gpu works too, it had fallen out a few times because I hadnt secured it well.
honestly, the limiting factor of Chromebooks is ChromeOS. that can be removed and replaced with Linux or Windows, and the moment you do so they become small, lightweight laptops. i use a Chromebook that i installed Linux onto for college and it has genuinely surprised me. i even do some light gaming on it during vacations.
3:05 For context, (really hope you aren't Canadian or Imma boutta look dumb), one Belarusian Ruble is worth $0.3050 USD. The Russian Ruble is doing a lot worse (lol) right now at $0.0105 USD per 1 Ruble. And to give you an idea for how much an Argentine Peso is worth, you're looking at 1 Peso being worth exactly 1 cent USD, so whenever the hell that screencap was taken, the Belarusian Ruble was doing astro-fucking-nomically bad, to put it in technical terms.

My old phone was a real piece of garbage. About a year in, it started randomly bootlooping on me, and it got the worst reception of any phone I've ever owned. One day it started bootlooping on me at work, and that was the last straw - I smacked it edge on against the nearest wall a few times in my frustration. After that, it never happened again. True story. Even the mobile network reception was a little better afterward, but it was still trash compared to my current phone. Reckon I must have jiggled some flat flex cables around just enough that they re-seated in a more advantageous position. I sure can't think of any other explanation.
Chromebooks are also useful if you're a teacher/lecturer. They're super light and can handle word processing and presentations just fine. My main laptop for teaching game development weighed a ton and needed two power outlets to plug in. Sod carrying that thing around the university. If I was just going to give a class in a lecture theatre, I just carried my Chromebook around unless I needed to actually demonstrate something intensive then and there.
I wish but the chrome books I use are AWFUL. The text editor is so slow and laggy. BTW, the simple txt editor is counted as a chrome app (a literal basic OS function is built and integrated on a level that no text editor should) and GDocs doesn't even have a desktop app or shortcut on GOOGLE'S OWN OS. Only a couple tabs open and the system grinds to a halt. Want to run apps? Too bad, chromeOS is a VERY obscured locked-down version of Linux. The physical storage gets as low as 32GB. For a word processor, a literal DeX Samsung phone would do better. Thats just my opinion though.

I don't think it's a hard drive issue. It might be, but unlikely. Disk controllers are smart, they usually detect such things and refuse to work entirely. What we are seeing here is probably corrupted RAM or GPU memory.
@@thepikachugamer apparently there's more than one kind of corruption. Because formatting the thumb drive I mentioned did nothing about its own corruption
Robin, I hate to burst your innocence on the paper but that exact thing happened at TWO of my schools. Seperate schools, different staff, happened twice. And this is my very limited anecdotal experience so I can believe it happening in a lot of places.
9:17 the best part about that MacBook is it still might work, just with an external monitor and mouse and only when plugged in. If I remember correctly the bullet hole is where the battery is, so as long as it gets removed so no fun fires it may actually still run
That AMD FX is at a CEX, a chain of second hand game and tech stores in the UK. They were likely just given it like that, they shouldn't have accepted it.
I had an Intenso SSD Hard Drive, it had a small light to indicate it was active/on stand-by. Now, this Hard Drive wasn't cheap and to my then unemployed and poor self 39,99€ ($44,67) was a lot of money. I used that Drive daily, put my games and other files on there and everything... UNTIL one night, WHILE I WAS ASLEEP, my sister decided she'd gotten fed up with seeing the small indicator light and FLIPPED the Hard Drive UPSIDEDOWN. Dude, the absolute seething anger I felt towards my sister and the upset panic at hearing that - CLICK CLICK CLICK - of doom was so unreal, I was distraught. My parents tried blaming the shipping on the drive being absolutely destroyed, but the thing was, it had been working perfectly fine the night before, so I KNEW it could've only been my sister flipping it, that killed it. I did manage to restore some of the files on that drive, sadly couldn't get all the files back. Even after my mum paid me back the money for the drive, it's been maybe 2 years now, but this still pisses me off.
The cage over Wifi at 15:00 is ment to protect it from getting hit by sports equipment. My grade school had them over the bells and clocks in the gym. When we would play baseball it was a yearly contest to see who would be the first to get the ball stuck in the grate. Serves a purpose if the school lost Wifi every time someone chucked a ball into the router.
7:13 in my school this actually exists aswell half the carts have ipads with keyboards, the other half are surface go's. then there are also a few dell laptops, and from 8th grade onward, you have to get an ipad. (well you dont actually have to, but its almost impossible not to with how they treat it)
I had to spent a long time deliberating in my head what a negative currency conversion consists of. I have come to the conclusion that it would mean paying someone else to take your currency from you while getting nothing in return, as if it were waste in need of disposal
1:28 - Essentially what the OP's talking about is that the Realtek WIFI adapter they have on these laptops are broadcasting noise for some reason while the laptops they're a part of are not on, which can essentially act as a jammer, blotting out actual network traffic over WiFi and making the service unusable for everyone.
2:19 Yeeeaaaahhhh, a replacement is probably a lot more than 2 bucks. That looks like an Apple firewire cord. Apple does everything it can to stop their devices frojm working with non-Apple replacements. You're looking at paying the full Apple tax on this one. That being said, I think its time to bite the bullet here. That cord is, to put it mildly, completely Fucked. 3:08 And this is why Analogue dashes/dials will *always* be better than digital ones. And I say this as an unashamed Tech-head. 12:39 The heatsink is overkill on most tyoes of RAM, and only makes then bulkier and taller. My guess is, the dude was building a PC and the stick was interfering with the CPU cooler, so he decided to try to remedy that problem. Well, I guess mission failed successfully..? 13:15 that looks like heat damage... How in the hells do you get heat damage like that, though?
Surely the cage on that wifi access point is to prevent it from getting accidentally (or intentionally possibly, I suppose) damaged. It was in a gym hall, after all.
15:38 D U D E... YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW RELATABLE THIS IS. ive had a lot of tech issues, but at least half of them seem to be extremely niche and incredible poorly documented. like one issue that i had when i had first built my current computer, minecraft just straight up *WOULD NOT* install. i spend hours spread across several days trying to research and find out more online about my issue and almost nobody who had talked about it online was having the same problem. that was SO infuriating.
I legit have a tech curse. Anything I own tends to breakdown, crash, slow, or disintegrate after enough time with me. This comes in waves but it always comes back around. Half the things are common unlucky things and half are “shrug” problems where noon seems to be able to figure it out.
Cannot say i wanted to see the exact make and model of the Chromebook i'm using to watch this video on as an melting hunk of plastic but here we are and now i'm terrified
7:08 - Chromebooks can run linux through emulation very well now, adds a lot of usage. Plus dev mode exists so you could always just run like windows or something.
11:23 unfortunately, this is probably true. i worked in my school district as a receptionist my senior year, and i was in charge of making sure the printers were stocked. i had some common sense and fluffed the paper before putting it in, made sure i didn't overfill the printers, etc... when i graduated, my replacement ended up being demoted to leaving reams on the table in the work rooms, because she wouldn't even unwrap the ream, she just put it in just like that
7:41 that happens to my pc its an old asus but it does that with fortnite for example and it also just straight up inverts the colors of certain colors when on full screen like roblox minecraft among us that laptop is now dying slowly i ripped its ssd out to give it to my ps3 (still trying to figure out why the ps3 won't install its software onto that ssd yes its reseted) doesn't have that attached keyboard as it was pressing keys on its own and the cable for the touchpad got the little pins in the end bend somehow it still boots to bios somehow even after 9 years of torture edit: being that robin said to update the drivers. (it normally happens after installing amd drivers like the moment they are installed the pc starts doing that)
14:11 Can 1up this. Moved into a new house, had a TV in the living room. Rather than screw the TV into the wall mount already there, they took two long, wrong sized screws, forced them into the TV by hand, (making their own threads) about 2 threads deep. they then balance the tv on the wall mount by the screws. not screwed in, just the screws sitting on an edge. The TV mount also wasnt in a stud, it was held by cheap wall anchors
2:13 I know this looks bad, lemme explain, its going by SIZE not VALUE and USD squared to the second power, just means, a flat dollar bill, now what it means by "Inch" I dunno, that would imply multiplication, but still doesn't make much sense

I don't think it's a hard drive issue. It might be, but unlikely. Disk controllers are smart, they usually detect such things and refuse to work entirely. What we are seeing here is probably corrupted RAM or GPU memory.
more like unknow system particion . disk just need full format
Corruption is a symptom of a (deeper) issue. Formatting fixes corruption. Not the issue.
@@thepikachugamer apparently there's more than one kind of corruption.
Because formatting the thumb drive I mentioned did nothing about its own corruption
@@thepikachugamer you can lock broken sectors on hdd . make hdd safe to use again . not sure if it can be done on ssd

6:37 Did anyone else notice the tire pressure warning as well??😭😭
Robin, I hate to burst your innocence on the paper but that exact thing happened at TWO of my schools. Seperate schools, different staff, happened twice. And this is my very limited anecdotal experience so I can believe it happening in a lot of places.
6:33 You know you're fast when you manage to exceed the *land speed record ON AVERAGE.*
3:50 I dunno, a back-up cam is also a pretty highly-asked feature so we don't have to break our necks to see what we're backing up into.

Nice video bro, but do you know where I can get a Windows key? I need it to see if it improves my work PC?
There are many but if you want a quick one, BNH Software helped me with that.
If I need it as soon as possible, thank you

9:17 the best part about that MacBook is it still might work, just with an external monitor and mouse and only when plugged in. If I remember correctly the bullet hole is where the battery is, so as long as it gets removed so no fun fires it may actually still run
The call of the witch censorship got me in stitches
That AMD FX is at a CEX, a chain of second hand game and tech stores in the UK. They were likely just given it like that, they shouldn't have accepted it.
I had an Intenso SSD Hard Drive, it had a small light to indicate it was active/on stand-by. Now, this Hard Drive wasn't cheap and to my then unemployed and poor self 39,99€ ($44,67) was a lot of money.
I used that Drive daily, put my games and other files on there and everything... UNTIL one night, WHILE I WAS ASLEEP, my sister decided she'd gotten fed up with seeing the small indicator light and FLIPPED the Hard Drive UPSIDEDOWN. Dude, the absolute seething anger I felt towards my sister and the upset panic at hearing that - CLICK CLICK CLICK - of doom was so unreal, I was distraught.
My parents tried blaming the shipping on the drive being absolutely destroyed, but the thing was, it had been working perfectly fine the night before, so I KNEW it could've only been my sister flipping it, that killed it.
I did manage to restore some of the files on that drive, sadly couldn't get all the files back. Even after my mum paid me back the money for the drive, it's been maybe 2 years now, but this still pisses me off.
The cage over Wifi at 15:00 is ment to protect it from getting hit by sports equipment. My grade school had them over the bells and clocks in the gym. When we would play baseball it was a yearly contest to see who would be the first to get the ball stuck in the grate. Serves a purpose if the school lost Wifi every time someone chucked a ball into the router.
I love the kde cursor trail, happens every few days

Lexi-kitty!!!! Miss you.
that thumbnail is quite literally what my computer tells me when it boots up
LSD Mode needs to be a mode in your graphics driver

7:13 in my school this actually exists aswell
half the carts have ipads with keyboards, the other half are surface go's.
then there are also a few dell laptops,
and from 8th grade onward, you have to get an ipad.
(well you dont actually have to, but its almost impossible not to with how they treat it)
yknow, the good thing about percussive maintenance is that you definitely know something is loose inside if it starts working again.
I have a chromebook, on which i have a full install of debian (no more chomeos stuff), so it's useful now!
I had to spent a long time deliberating in my head what a negative currency conversion consists of. I have come to the conclusion that it would mean paying someone else to take your currency from you while getting nothing in return, as if it were waste in need of disposal

"You should clean your computer every 6 months"
my laptop that hasn't been cleaned in 4 years: i'm tired boss

Very good commentary. Good whit and technical knowledgeablility to boot. I am subscribing.
14:57 It’s to keep basketballs etc from hitting it
1:28 - Essentially what the OP's talking about is that the Realtek WIFI adapter they have on these laptops are broadcasting noise for some reason while the laptops they're a part of are not on, which can essentially act as a jammer, blotting out actual network traffic over WiFi and making the service unusable for everyone.
2:19
Yeeeaaaahhhh, a replacement is probably a lot more than 2 bucks.
That looks like an Apple firewire cord. Apple does everything it can to stop their devices frojm working with non-Apple replacements.
You're looking at paying the full Apple tax on this one.
That being said, I think its time to bite the bullet here. That cord is, to put it mildly, completely Fucked.
3:08
And this is why Analogue dashes/dials will *always* be better than digital ones. And I say this as an unashamed Tech-head.
12:39
The heatsink is overkill on most tyoes of RAM, and only makes then bulkier and taller.
My guess is, the dude was building a PC and the stick was interfering with the CPU cooler, so he decided to try to remedy that problem.
Well, I guess mission failed successfully..?
13:15 that looks like heat damage...
How in the hells do you get heat damage like that, though?
10:34 Banging it somertimes helps for loose cables. It usually happens again later, but as a temporary fix it usually works.
6:52 scares me because i am using the same model to watch this video
Surely the cage on that wifi access point is to prevent it from getting accidentally (or intentionally possibly, I suppose) damaged. It was in a gym hall, after all.
11:58 Reflowing is the correct term, reballing refers to the process of replacing the solder balls underneath a BGA (Ball Grid Array) chip
2:22 - I'm fairly sure being within 1 meter of that cord passively raises your homeowner's/renter's insurance rates. That thing is ALL the hazards.

9:01 "Shot on Macbook"
15:38 D U D E... YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW RELATABLE THIS IS. ive had a lot of tech issues, but at least half of them seem to be extremely niche and incredible poorly documented. like one issue that i had when i had first built my current computer, minecraft just straight up *WOULD NOT* install. i spend hours spread across several days trying to research and find out more online about my issue and almost nobody who had talked about it online was having the same problem. that was SO infuriating.
I legit have a tech curse. Anything I own tends to breakdown, crash, slow, or disintegrate after enough time with me. This comes in waves but it always comes back around. Half the things are common unlucky things and half are “shrug” problems where noon seems to be able to figure it out.
That thumbnail reminds me of that one time I lucid dreamed and nearly spiritually high fived God.

5:45 I actually want this as a desktop wallpaper though?
6:10 That lowkey looks like an amazing wallpaper, perhaps a great idea for a horror movie. All from one (supposed) punch.
Cannot say i wanted to see the exact make and model of the Chromebook i'm using to watch this video on as an melting hunk of plastic but here we are and now i'm terrified
I am in emence fear at 6:58, I am watching this video on a similar chromebook model...

7:08 - Chromebooks can run linux through emulation very well now, adds a lot of usage. Plus dev mode exists so you could always just run like windows or something.

11:23 unfortunately, this is probably true. i worked in my school district as a receptionist my senior year, and i was in charge of making sure the printers were stocked. i had some common sense and fluffed the paper before putting it in, made sure i didn't overfill the printers, etc... when i graduated, my replacement ended up being demoted to leaving reams on the table in the work rooms, because she wouldn't even unwrap the ream, she just put it in just like that

One thing i noticed that didn't get brought up was when the ram heatsink was removed that Ram was destroyed. Half the chips were ripped off
7:41 that happens to my pc its an old asus but it does that with fortnite for example and it also just straight up inverts the colors of certain colors when on full screen like roblox minecraft among us that laptop is now dying slowly i ripped its ssd out to give it to my ps3 (still trying to figure out why the ps3 won't install its software onto that ssd yes its reseted) doesn't have that attached keyboard as it was pressing keys on its own and the cable for the touchpad got the little pins in the end bend somehow it still boots to bios somehow even after 9 years of torture
edit: being that robin said to update the drivers. (it normally happens after installing amd drivers like the moment they are installed the pc starts doing that)
My mind while the "new entity has been summoned": hmm... let's replicate that thing and see how it will look like
2:36 that cable is entirely safe the highest voltage you would get is like 5v

14:11 Can 1up this. Moved into a new house, had a TV in the living room. Rather than screw the TV into the wall mount already there, they took two long, wrong sized screws, forced them into the TV by hand, (making their own threads) about 2 threads deep. they then balance the tv on the wall mount by the screws. not screwed in, just the screws sitting on an edge. The TV mount also wasnt in a stud, it was held by cheap wall anchors
