Underrated comment!
Bomber Harris
Hotel? Trivago
😂😂 I try my hardest to not look like that when I travel. I usually fail horribly tho.
Linus is wearing the most tourist-like outfit he possibly could. Big-ass backpack? Check. Backwards hat? Check. Cargo shorts? Check. Sandals? Checkerino. The only thing he's missing is a Canon camera with a neck strap.
thepurplewalrus I loled
And a fanny pack
Don't forget the sunglasses
xDD
and the shoulder GoPro
"hmm what should we name our shop?"
"how about stfu"
"perfect."

LMFAO
They expect SILENCE in the store. No questions asked because STFU.
"They gave me bad prices... Maybe cause I'm White"
-Linus, 2015
I wish I could see all the Linus quotes ever spoke, it would be funny!
Best part of video, I thought haha.
asTro I'm Filipino, and whenever I'm in the Philippines shopping for stuff, they give me bad prices because I speak better English than them. :-p
asTro ^
asTro i think he meant that they think he is a tourist, and everyone scams tourists.
Just a tip since I live in Singapore, when you are in Sum Lim Square and you want to buy and tech things do not go and buy from the stores on the first and second stories as all of their prices are OVER PRICED because it where all the tourist mainly explore. from the fourth floor onwards the prices are all pretty decent
Drawlife very true i live in Singapore too
Most of the reason the lower floors are more expensive is simply because the lease costs are considerably higher due to street proximity and foot traffic.
Holy shit I agree I was just there today for liek the 5000th Time the main square of the 1st Floor is overpriced as shit just use Carousell if used is ok
or Jakarta ITCs
Like. Where was you before!
9:53
Linus: "oh no my phone!!"
Person: "hello?"
That makes me laugh every time
😂
If this video were to be done in 2019 or 2020, Linus would give them a 160TB server as part of the deal
Linus 2015: we saved 20 bucks! Linus 2017: we spent 140,000 on a camera
he has come a long way!
2018: We spent 80,000,000 for a 6Kilobit/s Wifi!
What he saves, he splashes out on cameras
BagonTube which video is that?
It's not about saving $20. It's about being scammed $180 instead of $200.
Would you pay $500 for a $300 product if you knew you were buying a house in 2 years for $400,000?
You'd be like "$200 is nothing" right?
Every Singaporean: He’s gonna get scammed
He's white.... so.... lol
5 years later... WiFi6 - Hold My Beer! xD
@@BillAnt but not after he said aiyaa
Alamak Sim Lim Had a Bad Rep Bc Of Mobile Air
haha, yep, I've been that white guy when I lived in SG. Finally learned the ropes. I forget what I was buying, but once I was there and the Chinese girl in front of me was buying the exact same thing. I had learned enough Mandarin to overhear what they charged her. they tried to charge me something like $5 more and I was able to call BS. They laughed, "oh, your Mandarin very good la"
The thing I learnt from my dad there is to bargain for the price u want but u can't be outrageous at the same time
2:26 the guy sitting down said hell no I don’t wanna be on Linus camera 😂😂
Lol😁
lol why was he so terrified of a camera 😂
That "aiyaa" at 4:37 is quite authentic 😂 I'm impressed! 👍
3:20
Lady: "about 30 minutes"
Linus: "about 20 minutes? alright i will come back in 20 minutes"
She said 20 from what I heard
@@Thezombiekiller06 yea cause when he repeated 20 minutes she said yea
The captions said 30
Ethan Judson he finessed
thats that white privilege..... cutting those people lunch time by ten minutes so you can buy "wifi stuff".... he knows he heard 30 mins lol jk they about to change the prices while he's gone like a scene in a play!!! lol
Linus can you stay at my house so you can upgrade everything

When Linus has done more for your internet then your ISP ever has
Your isp only provides the internet, not anything on your end
i wish he could spend a month at my house and fix my wifi and desktop
In yo dreams.
He's fixing my alienware area 51
+STRM Sillyelf7321 linus fixin it?
Agreed
Make a Pimp My Wifi show where he travels around and pimps out everyones network???
Please Linus, Pimp my Wifi!
It came in 2015, watching it in 2018. I wonder how did I miss it.
Nischal masand right

Lol me 2

haha dude =]]]] me too
6:19 Linus dancing to Punjabi tune is unforgettable! 😂😂
Ha bhai
He's from surrey/Langley. He's definitely heard Punjabi music before for sure
How punjabi music there 🤔
@@alansuresh5772 punjabis are everywhere. At a worldwide level I think Punjabi music is even more popular than hindi everywhere other than India and even there it's close
Indians Sabhi Jagha milenge 😅
They had 100mbps in 2015. I have 10mbps in 2020. Noice
I don't even have that
its evolving, just backwards
I have 70 and that's the maximum I can have
if I'm correct Singapore has one of the fastest WiFi in the world
I have 433MBPS yay
you should do more videos on networking

GOZZYGOZBORN I agree this was awsome, informative and entertaining.
Hearing linus say "aiyah" like a singaporean is just
Novelty
What does Aiyah mean
@@Smart.Potato like "oh no" or "oh shit", something you say when you regret something or that you accidentally done wrong.
Nice.
it's from malaysian
Most of my friends say "Aiyo"
To those who aren't aware. LINUS' Wife family is rich.. like LOADED. 90% of Singaporeans live in Gov subsidized apartments called HDB flat. Usually 2 rooms, 1 kitchen dining, 1 living room, 1 bathroom kinda setting. Having a house like that? Only top 1% owns something like that.
You're not wrong that they're rich, but they're not top 1%. My friend lives in a similar household in singapore and isn't close to top 1%
@@sierra659 Well, top 1% in Singapore isn't even singaporean (usually Chinese (HKers, Shanghainese, etc.) Indonesians, Malaysians).
@@gold9994 facts
Was that a Mr robot reference?
@@user-op8fg3ny3j That's the average in the respective country.
Many Rich Indo/Malay/Chinese (esp. HK) have some sort of house/apartment/holding company/buildings in Singapore, and they're given permission to stay in SIngapore 'Resident Permit'. Most of these guys are worth 100+ Million to idk how many billions. Thus making the most of the singapore top 1%.
Why are they given resident permit? because they can spend their money in Casinos, Shops etc.
I love this video as it is back to basic domestic tech problem-solving and how to do it.
How to get robbed. Wear a Razer backpack
I read that 1 in 5 Singaporeans are millionaires. Doubt he'll get robbed.
@@jurgen8103 Except maybe by someone from the 4 in 5.
@xr00t3d Here in the real world we can accept that wherever there are other people around there's a risk you'll get robbed.
@xr00t3d yeah crime rates are low, they're not zero.
@@jurgen8103 The people in that video didn't look like millionaires
Linus: **walks into McDonald’s**
Also Linus: **this needs a better WiFi signal**
Maybe he’s connected to McDonald’s WiFi 😂 😂 😂
Lmao

@@asnji huh?
6:15 punjabi boi😂😆
was about to comment the same :)
TH-cam thought it's a good idea to bring this back up again after years. Good job, keeping it relevant.
That house is so spacious and beautiful and the computers are ancient. I live in a tiny dark apartment with lots of nice technology.
Me neither 😂
they were smart enough to spend their money on accomodation instead of gtx1080 sli haha
No, I rather spend in small apartment with gaming pc and other good stuff. Rather than "accomodation" with computer running Window XP
Priorities.
Why can’t you have both? 🤨
"They got all sorts of fun stuff on the second floor"
*Sex Shop*
Tigrezz yea I’ve walked past that shop lol
The "third" floor is Linus' hidden sex den with his harem of hookers... cuz he's a pimp daddy biatch!! lol
This is one the best Linus videos I have ever seen!!! When covid ends, do more like this!!
@Marre what does that mean?
"oo russian girls"
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Finally. I thought more people would talk about this lmao
@@g.geargy1736 its been years lol
I just saw this in 2020 and i died when i heard that lol
5:36 Wow $105 for 128gb ssd
Now it's like 30 bucks for that
:P
Singapore is one of, if not the most expensive country in the world. It has the world's most expensive car prices, and i think it also have the world's most expensive computer prices.
This video hasn’t aged well
bitcoin currency style
(by me saying this I mean how bitcoin prices go up and down a lot, almost the same thing for an SSD.. but for example, You buy 1 thing 2 months ago, for example a charger, and now 2 months later, its like 2$ more/ or 2$ cheaper)

nice to see something a bit more personal. Enjoying working my way back through some of the older videos now.
I really like the nice simple vlog feel of this video. Way more engaging than their current stuff or their old videos where it’s just stand and talk
As someone who helps people troubleshoot their wifi over the phone (ISP) I really like this video. Also, I need to go to this place.
I think that PC upgrade is a lost cause though. :)
Robert Headley more ram, ssd is ok at fixing but upgrading to win 7+ would make it better
Robert Headley DON'T SHOP IN SIM LIM SQUARE! It's a infested with gangsters who masquerades as Businessmen. Just do not go that place for IT related products. Go to other places. or if you're lucky enough to be in Singapore while they have their IT Expos, you can get IT products at low cost too.
I_LOYK_TOYTLEZ I_LOYK_PIGZ Actually that would make it worse. Windows 7 takes more power to run than an older OS like XP.
+everett dodge If you have an old machine just get Linux
This was just recommended to me. The old speed test page, lovely. Enjoyed the video.
Old but gold! One of the rare times to see your review in SG. Shld more often when possible
3rd floor looked like the right place to get your kidney stolen too.
in Singapore? mugged? are you sure?
Been on the 3rd floor before and it’s the kind of place where you will get everything stolen
@@pactumexcello9308 do even understand a joke?
11:09 the look you give when you're one of TH-cam's top tech guys and you STILL are having to do IT work for your family since they'll never learn it.
@roxotothis video is from 3 years ago, linus wasn't as rich back then. plus, not even LTT can just drop over a thousand dollars on a project for a single video, the reason they are able to continuously buy cutting edge tech for their videos is because they also sell most of it after they are done with it, that way they aren't spending 2000 dollars for a expensive laptop review but the difference after reselling it
@@MiloTheFirst1 I always thought they got free stuff because they're big tech youtubers. Once they're done showing it off they need to mail some stuff back. There are also the sponsored videos to consider.
@@danielsjohnson yeah, sometimes they are given review units but many others Linus mentions how they had to buy one themselves
@@MiloTheFirst1 that house cost millions in singapore
@@MiloTheFirst1 That's false most tech TH-camrs don't sell their products they keep them and they earn an average of 2k per video usually.
He looks like that one weird tourist that you see in holidays wherever you go. He is always there and you are getting concerned if he is going to track you down😂
I’ve seen this video 10 times cause it’s super funny and I just love how Linus is making jokes with the backwards hat.
YO WINDOWS XP IN 2015?! LMFAO
I still run windows xp as well,
I pity you mate..
Mate, for your own good, switch to Linux. You won't regret it. Your PC can run it easy if it can handle XP.
+New American Fishkeeper this guy knows his stuff. Just listen to this guy..
+Rickie Cheong yeah I still run xp as well, I have 128 mb of ram
0:28 "I couldn't even send Hangouts messages." That brings back nostalgia for me. Remember when that was a thing?
this comment
This is one of my favorite LTT videos!😊. It is ultimate relaxation when I watch this!
maybe cuz im white *awkward silence*
Yeah, I mean, what are you going to answer to that...:-D
Or maybe it was because he had a razer backpack and just dressed overall like a rich highschool boy
Hernando and he is rich
Dramecookie i was laughing wnen he said that.
Dramecookie racist singapore.
I remember watching this when it was first uploaded and now coming across it through autoplay and it really makes me appreciate these videos. It's just the whole home video style with editing to me. Their higher production value stuff is nice too but this is something I can relate to more.
2:51 "We have all your needs"
2:49 I love he just stood there without a word
His wife's relatives are farking rich. Most Singaporeans live in apartments lol
Crazy Rich Asians mech XD
not to even say apartments, we live in HDB flat man.......
mikolover1000 Yeah I live in a big Place just come to Saudi Arabia most of us are rich but the smaller countrys around us are richier

almost $50 for 2gigs of ddr2?!
Legacy ram is always pricey.
I forgot it was legacy :P
onishchuk4 I have a feeling it might not be so "legacy" over there...
Mansen Singapore is very modern....
Zane Daniels All of you are wrong. He is white that's why.
I was hoping he would pop that Dell open so we can see what was inside it.
Do you really want to though? It's using DDR2
wtf aha
i was today years old when i found out Yvonne was a Singaporean too!
hope to see you Linus when you're in Singapore!
I could watch these all day.
So that's what shopping malls will look like in the apocalypse, hm.
+Rory Jakobs well that mall is ancient lol all the up to date malls in Singapore is bomb af
+Rory Jakobs Not sure if it's the same in Singapore, but in Japan I noticed all the buildings looked pretty run down, even if they were very nice from every other aspect.
Apparently in Japan it's very difficult to resell and existing building, as there's a stigma on second hand buildings. As a result pretty much everything is new built, reconstructed every few years.
Because you're not selling the building, much more focus goes into making it functional for you, instead of making it pretty.
I was just talking about the general lack of people hahah.
Rory Jakobs HAHAHA the up to date malls are never empty
+Rory Jakobs Wat.
pile of broken laptops=windows 7 product keys galore
***** I tried it lol. I have 4 laptops with me and the one I'm using that I used the key from a broken laptop to activate windows. What I noticed was it doesn't work when you're first installing windows (you have to press skip) then when you have it connected to the internet try to activate it again and it works like a charm.
***** aww that's too bad. well know you know. I've done it on 3 laptops and 1 desktop so I'm sure it works too.
Just use Daz Loader ffs
that "hiyaa" was just too perfect, didn't expect it coming from linus
My favorite Linus’s video
Watching this in 2018 and although I'm not Singaporean, I liked how you inject Singlish exclamations in some of your conversations! LOL. And gosh your wife's relatives must be filthy rich to own a triple storey landed property in Singapore!
Eu-Gene Teo yeah
The house wasn't even that big, it was a small but tall building, from saying 3 stories, it sounds huge, but if you really look at it, it's a small tall building.
Well they were able to send her to Canada
@@_dallas_ a cool 1.5 millions dollar for land and 50 thousand for building up the house. Sure you can say it is small compare to USA or any country that is a thousand times bigger, but in land scare Singapore, this is huge.
@@_dallas_ Singapore is a small country... land comes at a premium. Most of the population live in high-rise housing.

Harman Singh never knew I needed this thanks
I was searching comments for this and finally found u!!!!😂😂😂😂
linus kinda danced at it as well XD
Only Indian thing!!!

Singapore is a great country, but stupidly expensive and I thought Australia was bad.
cjdacka Come to Malaysia then tell me that shit then =)
But since our Currency is so weak now I think you will feel it's alot cheaper. But try living here as a citizen I meant
cjdacka It's expensive if you go to the places most white people go to.
Australia is bad for pricing! We get super ripped off.
***** Mate I live in Australia as well, and I was just saying I knew we were bad but I didn't think it could be any worse, which it is in this case.
Never go Sim Lim Square in singapore.You can get great Prices mate at Expo Events which is everyday having Sale! I can get a unifi at expo for 59SGD

I dont what it is about this video but I love coming back to a few times a year.
- linus "Everybody gave me really bad prices, maybe because I'm white."
Every one else - **Awkward Silence**
because now they know that he knows why the prices are so bad. unfortunately that kind of stuff is a thing in some places
happens to everyone. doesnt matter if you're white or not, if you are a foreigner theyll definitely over price.
WELCOME TO SINGAPORE(ASIA)
Why do you care, Don't you have a campaign or something?
I was on an Optiplex 760 up until this year (2018)! Love the realness of this episode and solving a real-world problem of bad connectivity and coverage!
Learned alot from this. Thank you linus.
First ever video i watched on this channel, so much nostalgia
I dont understand a single word this guy says but i watch all of his videos cause he has likeable personality.
Tanky Beast lol ok
@@bigmaxcc XD
ok so in a nutshell
he goes to a shop gets cable doen't get something for attachment has to make do.
gets router/modem almost get scammed (or maybe he does)
goes home talks about how bad/good net speed is in different parts of the house
installs modem/router
starts talking tech jazz
says that 2.4 GHz is slow af
says 5 GHz is fast af
gets good net.
And yes this IS "in a nutshell" for this video otherwise you wouldn't understand
6:03 "Maybe everybody gave me bad prices because I am white" LOL
Her face was amazing when he said that
she was like "ok..."
This is how all the mid-sized electronics malls in Japan looked like when I lived there, I could spend literally all day browsing every floor looking at all the specialized hardware in each section. Laptops all on 2F, audio gear 3F, etc. Really brings me back, love this content
I went to Bic Camera in Shinjuku back in 2020, even though it’s under one big chain store there are still a buttload of electronics of all kind for sale spread across 11 floors. It’s insane.
I went to Yodobashi Camera at Akihabara back in 2019.
Spent a full hour plus looking around tech stuff, before I remembered I was there for the model kits and ps vita games on the upper floors.
2:50 This was me when me and my dad went to Sim Lim to check out some lenses for a camera
"Maybe cause I'm white" Hahahahahahaaaaa
Thats the best part. Sim Lim is filled with whites looking for electronics too. Not to be racist. Its just that everytime I go there, I see them whites.
***** Them damn whites!
Chris P. Bacon Dem whites in love in electronics
You thought that was funny? It sickened me to the stomach. My Linus days are over.
Still faster than Australian Wifi though.
Cries in slow internet.
Well that's a good joke
Try Britain when you’re far from a city internet almost unusable despite being close to the internet link to America
I bet Australia is better than Africa
I'm using the same network provider as them and I average 120-130mbps for my 2.4ghz while my 5ghz averages around 350-360mbps
nbn i average 7 mbps
I remember watching this video when it came out years ago. And now, TH-cam recommendations are making me feel old.
This is my first time watching this channel after seeing it for years
MAN! This is the First video of Linus I’ve ever seen & it just popped up on my recommended videos! That’s deep & somewhat gives me nostalgia vibes
6:20 - "Like all of these laptops are broken? Why do you keep them?" ... Post-Louis Rossmann Linus would never ask such questions lol
