I love that the Ultimate Upgrade vidoes still get intros. I understand the bad viewer retention might have caused them to go away, but the LTT intro was always my favorite.
This is my first video with Adam, and I gotta say, dude seems like the nicest person. He comes off polite and humble, and I could definitely see myself playing Double Dash all day with him. So far, everyone at LMG gives off the most positive vibes.
I feel insurance companies wont cover adults because adults are responsible and take care of their teeth after. Kids sometimes need to get extra sets because they dont wear their retainers
@@bugz000mine are basically still all perfectly straight and the same boat. Although I have seen people's basicsly go back after. So it might depend on if you had teeth taken out before and/or how big your teeth are?
@@bugz000 Not a myth, I got my braces off when I was 16, im 23 now, never wore my retainers and my teeth moved 50% back to their original positions before brace. Wear your retainers
the financial part wasn't too bad for me (in Belgium) but the physical pain and annoyances I can still remember after about 5-6 years now. Worth it though as some of my teeth were basically crushing another one
I feel like Adam is a absolute perfect fit for customer service since he is so genuinely interested in tech and wants to assemble his computer himself. I feel like that highly matches the customer base he will handle. Great vid! Love to explore the behind the scenes people
gonna be honest, of all the upgrades ive seen on the channel, this is the most phenomenalone. An absolute synergy between everyone involved and a vibe that i wolud almost say unmatched, along side a stutherless progress during the whole thing. Absolute wonder, 11/10
Adam! You emailed me once representing Creator Warehouse, and you helped me with my problem. Cool to see you on camera. Hope you've enjoyed all the nice upgrades!
This is one of the best ones. During all these, I always feel like 5k could go way longer, but the people choose the over-the-top components that waste the budget. But not Adam, he showed us how far a 5000 stretches and it stretches REAL GOOD.
I love these videos so much. I really appriciate the staff who aren't usually on the camera, agreeing to have cameras and their house broadcast. I know they get 5,000 worth of stuff, but they don't just take the money. They really try to put them selves out there, make some good content, and let us get to know them
I've been in the CSR industry and specially in Tech Support you'll average about 5-10 karens a shift(and that's low if you're lucky). Makes you want to smoke 2 ciggs in a 15 mins break after dealing with them hahaha
@@6vastolorde6 It probably varies by the company, but the people I deal with as a tech support rep are usually pretty alright. You'll get one bad egg in a good batch but for the most part people are kind. However, my support line is Business To Business (specifically helping CPA firm employees) and thus would be more calm than interacting the public.
Idk how the staff members are picked for these, but I'm glad it wasn't just another face we've already seen a dozen times because they're naturally charismatic and camera-friendly. Good to see this opportunity being spread around.
This series is great for so many reasons. It shows that even a large company such as LMG cares about their people. Then we also get a small glimps into the lives of the people that keep the company going! Keep up the great work and so glad AMD cared enough to continue the series
its crazy how wholesome this one felt. still funny and a bit wacky but man do i just want to root for Adam and cheer him on. colin and David were also funny in a gag side character way
He reminds me so much of my brother, such a genuine wholesome guy he definitely deserved an upgrade a lot sooner he’s so humble about waiting his turn too
Something I'd love to see the Lab do, would be to check out office chairs and (allegedly) high-end gaming chairs and compare them against their claims, as well as different standards (E.G. ISO 24496:2021), like good quality/working lumbar support.
Adam seems like a great guy to work with. Making this judgement on how he speaks to other people, tone and politeness. Could just be 'new-ish to being on video again' jitters, but I'll put $ on it being just who he is :)
@@RAZGR1Z20:29 they were both wearing pants. Unless you were trying to make a point about someone elses relationship, that since you know nothing about them, which is probably rooted in your own insecurities about masculinity and loneliness. If you need a hug, all you have to do is ask.
Adam has the best tech upgrade overall so far because he updated his setup, living room, AND picked up a pretty great Espresso machine to dip his toes into the coffee world! I also have the Gaggia Classic!
one of my useless hobbies is to set budgets and imagine what I could perfectly spend the non-existing money on, e.g. pc setups for 500$ or a setup for 2000$ and so on - this video was pure satisfaction for me!
I don't know what I found funnier, David's amazing camera work with showing him through the wall or Colin simply not saying anything xD Awesome ep. as usual with these
I will say Linus is really lucky to have great staff like Adam working with him. You can tell he loves what he does and will continue to do the best he can possibly do.
This is my favorite ultimate upgrade video so far. Not only was Adam quite the host but he also made some great selections showing what’s possible without extravagance. I’m also appreciating the added text inserts on the latest videos helping give viewers context. Great job LTT Team!
I used to work with this dude at best buy! what an incredible person, was mind blown for a sec like "where do i recognize this dude from?" and I'm so glad to see he's working for Linus! Go adam!
Ayy! Glad to see Adam getting a tech upgrade! He was super helpful in one of my support requests last year when I sent a picture of a Capybara as bribery to get a faster response and it totally worked 😎
Gaggia is pretty much the ideal starting machine if you have any interest in getting into the weeds/trying to get coffee shop results. Most of the other options in the range don't accept a standard basket or have easily serviceable/modifiable parts.
Honestly, with how much modding the thing allows for (unofficially, of course), he could easily turn that thing into the equivalent of a $3,000 machine if he does things right.
The Texh Upgrade is also a super smart investment in the future of the channel. Like who can be a host infront of the camera as well, who is maybe a natural talent and a crowd pleaser. And it also shows how huge the company actually is and how many people it takes to run such a huge channel. There are just so many wins in this one section. These are by far my favourite videos on this channel or maybe any channel.
David has gotten better with his production quality. I know he was outstanding before, but he's just better now. The way he brought the ram shot into focus like that, that can't be as easy as he made it seem. Anyway, just thought I'd mention this since the guy behind the camera, especially when it's not Brandon, might sometimes get overlooked.
27:20 when David pans to the wall for Adams reaction and comments "He's behind that wall." !!!! LMAO classic, great stuff here! keet it coming! cheers and thx
I love this series. Will say linus is one of the few channels i watch that put out a ton of great content but this is definitely my favorite genre on LTT. Hopefully we will get many more tech upgrade episodes and get them more often. Thank you linus for always putting out great content for us nerds haha
Super Happy Adam didnt have to end up waiting too long for his upgrade. Seems like a great guy. Cant wait to meet more of the crew that dont get camera time. Its super cool to see the people that make the behind the scenes happen. And its awesome AMD picked this up absolutely love this series!
I have the Gaggia Classic Pro and it is an excellent espresso appliance. Highly recommend the pressure spring mod, which is super easy and makes a big difference. Also, most will tell you that you want to spend more on the grinder. On that front, i have a eureka mignon specialita and really like it! Good purchases!
28:19 As a future note to Linus and the team, you can use a steam account to download over a local network from one computer to another. We loaded BG3 to my computer from my cousin's in about 15 minutes over the local network when my internet was out so my friend and I could play over the LAN. So you didn't need to take out the SSD from the laptop to speed it up lol Though, the update still would have been required.
Honestly the setting should be ON by default since it is so useful. It's also a great way to save that bandwidth, especially if you have a monthly cap.
If this is the same Adam I talk to you're amazing dude and you deserve that tech upgrade!!!! LTT store is usually spot on. The only problem I ever had with them was last year during the holidays you were supposed to get a free set of shoe strings in 4 months later another box of shoe strings came along. Apparently you're supposed to get two of them. Adam help me out and assured me that it wasn't ordered by mistake
14:12 "You know, I had a dream last night, about a short circuit that caused a fire in my house. I'm not even joking!" - Linus ~looks back at the video about the pool cooling that had sprung a leak and killed his computers and remembers the actual brief smoke and fire from that episode~ Ooooooh...
This is by far the best series on the channel. I love getting to see the other employees and get a peak into their actual personal lives. It’s real, unique and really fun/funny.
FYI if you setup multiple devices on the same network, Steam will download it from your other network machine. Been doing that with my Ally for a while and its saved me sooo much time.
What a great upgrade for £5k. I'd be tempted to throw it all into my PC but honestly spreading it out like this is also a great choice. Adam seems like a really chill guy too I like him, would be happy to see more of him in future videos
To be fair, 5k into the pc alone is actually quite difficult.if you don't comp,etely waste money on a 4090, you get a super high end graphics card (7900xtx or 4080) for around 1200, around 500 for a really highe nd cpu, maybe 200 for the case, 300 for combined storage, 150 for ram and probably another 300 for coolers, extra fans and such. Oh, and 200 if you want a really fancy case. So around 3000 pounds for best ins lot components with the motherboard included, you litera,ly can't really spend more than that unless you go for weird artsy or branded stuff, and even there cable mod cables and such won't set you back to much.
I really enjoy seeing practical build choices in a real-world context in this show - apart from all the personality hijinks that makes it super watchable.
to be honest, out of all the tech upgrades, this one is my favorite. That living room upgrade was really classy, the way that center console actually "centered" the tv and bookshelves changed the room fung shwei night and day.
I love that guy that got the upgrade!! He totally reminds me my brother 😢 damn I miss him 17 years has passed since that last time I saw him in person, I moved to Canada from Mexico only because I was born in Canada but then I was taken to Mexico when I was 2 years old because my parents are from mexico, and when I was 19 I left everything behind to move to Canada,
I love powerline networking. Good call on that. BTW, that 2 gigabit thing is more for in case you have more than 2 adapters in use to prevent bottlenecking in the powerline. They still only have gigabit network ports.
They can certainly be handy for some setups. That's pretty neat with the 2gbps, though on mine that are 1gbps I never would get near that. Something really odd that I've encountered with them when used them to bring network to tv stuff downstairs in a ~50 year old semi-detached home. The neighbours on the other side of the wall are also using tp-links and their tv always tries to connect to my network. There was something very lacking in the config options when tried to sort it out, but it's been a while since run them.
@@silversonic1 Kind of old houses, old wiring running (I assume) beside each other. Had a powerline in one bedroom and the sitting room, both with them using a plug socket on the connecting wall. I had access to their device's menu, and via a little messing around with an additional managed switch, port-mirroring, and wireshark...could have done more than just use their Netflix account, but I'm pretty ethical. Has me thinking to set them up again just to see what it was in settings being poor, had to have been something like them acting like a different network that was not changeable.
A Gaggia Classic? Nice. Keeping in the theme of most bang for the buck, I approve! One of my favorite upgrades so far. Will there be DIY upgrades for the machine?
I just want to say i was helped by Adam when I ordered a shirt that was no longer available right before it was removed from the market place. He got me well taken care of while I waited to learn that the shirt was no longer available. Huge shout out to him for the help!
Pro-tip, if you have a game on one laptop and you want to move it to your desktop, you can use a local transfer feature of the steam to move it, making a 1.5 hour transfer down to... well few minutes depend on what kind of drive you are downloading to.
still can't believe Intel bailed on this gem of content. glad AMD picked up their slack. this content is some of the most fun stuff i get to watch.
When they talked about it last time it sounded like the corporate machine just moved to slow to approve more episodes and AMD swooped in very quickly.
Most of my Intel approval came from Intel extreme tech upgrade. You don't have to be Einstein to figure out what happened next 😂😂

Also, most will tell you that you want to spend more on the grinder. On that front, i have a eureka mignon specialita and really like it! Good purchases!

When you say it all by saying nothing at all.
Give that man a raise.

As a future note to Linus and the team, you can use a steam account to download over a local network from one computer to another. We loaded BG3 to my computer from my cousin's in about 15 minutes over the local network when my internet was out so my friend and I could play over the LAN.
So you didn't need to take out the SSD from the laptop to speed it up lol
Though, the update still would have been required.
That would still take a lot longer than copying it straight from the NVMe SSD. 1Gbps network is only 125MB/s
I think they knew that already, because if I recall correctly they use that exact method for the LAN event
Honestly the setting should be ON by default since it is so useful. It's also a great way to save that bandwidth, especially if you have a monthly cap.
If this is the same Adam I talk to you're amazing dude and you deserve that tech upgrade!!!!
LTT store is usually spot on. The only problem I ever had with them was last year during the holidays you were supposed to get a free set of shoe strings in 4 months later another box of shoe strings came along. Apparently you're supposed to get two of them. Adam help me out and assured me that it wasn't ordered by mistake
I haven't seen him before but he seems like a real down to earth dude that deserved this upgrade. Glad he got this and amd took over what Intel left.

"You know, I had a dream last night, about a short circuit that caused a fire in my house. I'm not even joking!" - Linus
~looks back at the video about the pool cooling that had sprung a leak and killed his computers and remembers the actual brief smoke and fire from that episode~ Ooooooh...
loved the return of the intro for this video! It was fun. I love this guy too, he's so happy and was so smart with how his upgrades went!
I love Adam, his vibe is brilliant, I WANT MORE VIDEOS WITH HIM
I second this
If I close my eyes, his voice reminds me of Garth! And I love Garth!
I love this series, you could see Adam getting more and more comfortable as the video went on
This video also just taught me about the plastic thing for M.2's. Definitely not a thing last time I did one either.
This is by far the best series on the channel. I love getting to see the other employees and get a peak into their actual personal lives. It’s real, unique and really fun/funny.
I love that he just had faith in getting an upgrade 😂
FYI if you setup multiple devices on the same network, Steam will download it from your other network machine. Been doing that with my Ally for a while and its saved me sooo much time.
This is neck and neck with Sarah's for the best staff upgrade. Nicely done, all!
What a great upgrade for £5k. I'd be tempted to throw it all into my PC but honestly spreading it out like this is also a great choice. Adam seems like a really chill guy too I like him, would be happy to see more of him in future videos
To be fair, 5k into the pc alone is actually quite difficult.if you don't comp,etely waste money on a 4090, you get a super high end graphics card (7900xtx or 4080) for around 1200, around 500 for a really highe nd cpu, maybe 200 for the case, 300 for combined storage, 150 for ram and probably another 300 for coolers, extra fans and such. Oh, and 200 if you want a really fancy case. So around 3000 pounds for best ins lot components with the motherboard included, you litera,ly can't really spend more than that unless you go for weird artsy or branded stuff, and even there cable mod cables and such won't set you back to much.
I really enjoy seeing practical build choices in a real-world context in this show - apart from all the personality hijinks that makes it super watchable.
Linus, you guys should utilize Adam Pilolla more in vids. He has good character and just seems like a cool dude.
nice man. enjoyed it, pleasantly awkward. would like to see this man on screen more often, thank you for a great video.
I'd love to see more of Collin in future videos. He adds a dynamic that I didn't think was needed haha
I love the upgrades with the lesser seen staff, so cool to get a slight insight into some of the less known team members
to be honest, out of all the tech upgrades, this one is my favorite. That living room upgrade was really classy, the way that center console actually "centered" the tv and bookshelves changed the room fung shwei night and day.
Great, Adam is now one of my top LTT staff, hes so sweet! and all that done for 5k is insane. well done!
This guy is cool af, would be nice to see him again in futer videos
I really like the light-hearted feel of this one, i love how these videos are getting alot better in terms of fun factor
Still can't believe Intel threw away this great sponsorship series, what was the marketing team thinking?
Convenient that they did so around when AMD became the leader in gaming CPUs though haha
I love that guy that got the upgrade!! He totally reminds me my brother 😢 damn I miss him 17 years has passed since that last time I saw him in person, I moved to Canada from Mexico only because I was born in Canada but then I was taken to Mexico when I was 2 years old because my parents are from mexico, and when I was 19 I left everything behind to move to Canada,
Adam has been one of if not my favorite shopper so far
I love this guy, super likable! Get him on more often!
I love powerline networking. Good call on that. BTW, that 2 gigabit thing is more for in case you have more than 2 adapters in use to prevent bottlenecking in the powerline. They still only have gigabit network ports.
They can certainly be handy for some setups. That's pretty neat with the 2gbps, though on mine that are 1gbps I never would get near that.
Something really odd that I've encountered with them when used them to bring network to tv stuff downstairs in a ~50 year old semi-detached home. The neighbours on the other side of the wall are also using tp-links and their tv always tries to connect to my network. There was something very lacking in the config options when tried to sort it out, but it's been a while since run them.
@@benwu7980 Supposedly they're supposed to have security to prevent that, but I have never even tried to verify that.
@@silversonic1 Kind of old houses, old wiring running (I assume) beside each other. Had a powerline in one bedroom and the sitting room, both with them using a plug socket on the connecting wall.
I had access to their device's menu, and via a little messing around with an additional managed switch, port-mirroring, and wireshark...could have done more than just use their Netflix account, but I'm pretty ethical.
Has me thinking to set them up again just to see what it was in settings being poor, had to have been something like them acting like a different network that was not changeable.
A Gaggia Classic? Nice. Keeping in the theme of most bang for the buck, I approve! One of my favorite upgrades so far. Will there be DIY upgrades for the machine?
I just want to say i was helped by Adam when I ordered a shirt that was no longer available right before it was removed from the market place. He got me well taken care of while I waited to learn that the shirt was no longer available. Huge shout out to him for the help!
Not gonna lie this was my favourite one yet, It shows how much you can get being a savvy shopper on a budget, Props to Adam!
Pro-tip, if you have a game on one laptop and you want to move it to your desktop, you can use a local transfer feature of the steam to move it, making a 1.5 hour transfer down to... well few minutes depend on what kind of drive you are downloading to.
The freaking cat piano had me rolling 🤣
It seemed such a Linus ADHD thing to do rather than wait 6 minutes to dl a game patch.
I love Collin, I kinda want him to be a silent presence in more vids now
Love, that you guys are able to continue the Upgrading-Series.
If wholesome was a person it would be Adam.
I like Adam's vibe, nice energy going on in this video.
I have that board. I hope you made sure to upgrade the BIOS so EXPO works as expected and don't burn out your CPU.
Probably my favorite series, always get excited to see another video drop
Colin don't say much eh?
About time Adam got some love he's been a great CSA over the years, interacted with whim via email a few times.
I really like this guy… he is a super relatable nerd like me and a humble cool dude… I hope you have him on more videos sometimes
