When the kid started attacking the GPU with a screwdriver my heart stopped.
I was pulling my hair and wanted to yell at that cute little kid! That was painful!
I don't think it would have ever done any damage because the metal heatsink is under it.
Ben Woof , Other than where he kept going at the back side of the card. All those surface mount components. Sure Dave could fix it, but that's not the point.
The shipper must have thought of that, there's a nice dose of bubble wrap
Glad I wasn't the only one
I know this video is old, but you have an absolutely adorable son. Thank you, so much, for showing that slice of your life. It really makes your videos that much more enjoyable.
Michael Garland Thanks. He is cute!
EEVblog the old days of being young dam time fly's
Michael Garland It's really inspiring to Sagan exploring like that. Trying to connect to liquid cooling hose to the pump put a massive smile on my face. It's like he instinctively knew what to put where.
I hope when I have kids either girls or boys, I can give them that kind of experience. +1 Dave :)
I like him. He has a Apple Shirt
huehue ^^
i sat here for 35 min to see and hear the plasma speaker.
Thanks to you, I didn't have to. I skipped ahead.
I was like, "LEAVE THE GPU, NOOO!!!!"
***** HashtagPULSE "WTF ARE U DOING LEAVE IT!!!" :D
Me too
I have to say, you're a natural born dad. I've seen so many guys who have such short patience for their young kids, snatching everything out of their hand that they want to pick up and look at. You let him pick up, look, poke, explore, and most importantly, learn. He's going to grow up to be a smart kid who's very curious to learn everything that catches his interest.
+00Skyfox THIS!! YES!
absolutely. all these people crying about him poking about with a screwdriver need to seriously reevaluate what they find important in life
I really love how you get Sagen involved with your videos as much as you do, between your job and making youtube videos it could easily be the case that he rarely gets to have time with you and vice versa.
I bet when he looks back in 15 years at these videos that it brings a big smile to his face remembering all the great times he had with his awesome dad!
That kid will be the future EEVblog 2 host. :D
I used to have one of those TI calculators. The reason the battery compartment is so huge is because there was an optional rechargeable NICAD pack made for it. Notice the casing on the side, that's where the charging jack would poke through.
I cringed at the sight of his son poking a screwdriver into the graphics card.
+{MLP} Rainbow Dash
I cringed at his son poking everything but, he knows how to fix it. I do know every close up detail of that screw driver now. Lol.
***** 100% cringeworthy
Same
+yung goose Who are you, leafyishere?
The kid is doing a non destructive test. Anyway dad could fix it.
I love watching the current videos with your son and then go back to here 4 years ago and see how young but still interested he is with everything in your workshop! Bright lil guy there!
"Buy your maple syrup from Canada" Those are some serious fighting words if you're from Vermont.
He was just spinning the fan with a screwdriver, relax, really.
"You are trying to put the screwdriver in the jack. Do you think that is where it goes?" Maybe you should start giving him HV screw drivers :P
That is, recognizably, a German 1kV screwdriver.
i want random people to send me free video cards plus watercooling stuff!
someone get that sorted please :)
Dave reminds me so much of my father and uncle. They gave me so much hands on experience with everything from carpentry to car mechanics before I was 5. Little "Sagan" is very lucky.
Aww, cute lil dude!
Those one-slot Neo Geo boards are terrific. They're fully JAMMA-compliant, so for the most part, you can drop them unmodified right into a JAMMA cabinet. They're a piece of cake to consolize too; just stick a 100-ohm resistor on the video sync line, and a smoothing cap across the red, green and blue lines, and you can connect it to any 15 khz RGB monitor, line doubler, scan converter, etc. If you lift the stereo sound off the chip, bypassing the audio power amp, you only need 5 volts and about half an amp to power it.
The kid is already hacking, even before he knows how to speak.
Sagan is having a blast and learning,too.
I think he's first word is going to be screwdriver.
Phillips or common? Lol.
I'm gonna send you a box full of half smoked cigars....
LOL half smoked. Lmao... That would give him something to whine about.
Something with a fan for cooling. And stick the cigars inside.
Trojan style :P
making the kid into an apple fanboy from a young age. wonder if you got hate-mail for that.
trippplefive, why would he get hate[ ]mail for that?
Maxx Fordham Because Apple is an evil moneyhungry company.
And how do you figure, po huing?
Maxx Fordham
By looking at the prices and the wages... Also it's cliche that apple prices for anything besides their phones are ridiculous.
Well, po huing, I have 3 questions for you: What makes you think other companies don't have similar price-vs.-wage differences? Do you expect companies to just break even or something (in which case being in business would be pointless)? And how do you figure you know what Apple's wages are, anyway?
Dave don’t worry about your son. Your videos always rock. Teaching him early. That is so cool.
In case if you still wondering about the stamp, it says: "Al-Manama" The capital of Arabian culture.. :)
In Arabic: المنامة عاصمة الثقافة العربية
You have an awesome kid! He's so curious and full of spirit. Keep that screwdriver in his hand, people's reactions to his prodding of electronics are hilarious.
What I would do to get my hands on one of those TI calculators.
I had one of those in school. Wish I still had it, as they never die.
Very cool speaker there at the end. Thanks for the video :)
"No touching the lens" but jamming a screwdriver in sensitive electronics? "GO FOR IT!!" XD
Many years ago I built a plasma speaker using a microwave oven transformer. I did not use a bias arc, it was directly driven with a 100 watt amp. The arcs were about 1-2 inches apart and it was loud, especially around 5 kilohertz.
wondering what episode is that at the end for the Plasma speaker demo))
Vermont makes some great syrup, tho a canadian would never admit it :P
Yeah, Richard Smith, even a brand named after someone who has the same last name as you: Land of Joseph (the prophet, I mean -- who was born in Sharon)! We can get that here in the West, too. And it *is* really good! I just love that natural, non-overdone flavor and non-overthickened feel!
Your son is a genius! He cant really speak but he he knows how a waterblock works and he knows which machine to use on the cartridge
Excellent work, always watching your blog. Videos entertaining and interesting at the same time. Greeting from Argentina!
Hello from Athens mate,@31:10 that's a National Semiconductor bubble display, wow didn't know they exist! They have NS etched in a "robotic pcb trace style" logo next to their classic logo you pointed at. Thanks for all your videos, they should play them in colleges and universities electronics courses!
Date mark on the NS LED display says 1971 week 20. So it was made 44(!) years ago or 42 when the video was made.
Dave, with the post mark on Tom's parcel, and the handwriting in his letter, I think the State is VT for Vermont.
You are correct that UT is Utah. Tom just makes his Vs and Us in a similar fashion.
Great to see Sagan again. He was trying really hard to fit that hose to the pump! What a trooper!
This is so cute... but when your little one picks up that screwdriver and is stood on the bench my heart was in my mouth! he's adorable... stop standing him on benches with tools! lol! ;-) Love the blog and I have no idea about electronics but you make it so entertaining I have lost days watching these!
The comments about smoking and god was good. Smoking is something that never should be shown in a good way. And he told him in a friendly way to stop smoking. God should have nothing to do with the government.
About the kid, he is really cute! It is good that he get to explorer items first hand. But it was really painful when he attacked the graphic card with the screwdriver!
I live in Amurica and I like smoke. so eat shit
Bill A hahahahaha god bless
Someone is athiest lol
You are an awesome teacher. Your enthusiasm puts some American teachers to shame.
To see the little dude going all "woah" on the electronics makes me smile BIG ^^
That's a fine looking Neo Geo MVS arcade board and game! Those games retail for about $400 USD, so you got an awesome batch of kit!
I envy this kids childhood :)
So much cool stuff to play with.
He got an awesome name too.
That lovely kid will be an electronics wizard, I can tell :)
That kid will be a computer genius one day, but he almost made me cry attacking those things with a screwdriver
i cried for shure :'(
Might as well be shooting up H one day and dad pays for it.
Sagan's face looks like 'Are you sure this screwdriver is the right tool for opening a box, Dad?'
man...that guy sent you some top-notch gear with that video card...
I see that you have some music as well! That's a hell of an idea! It be so cool to see something you sent be checked out :)
We have some pretty crap weather at the moment. I'm excited for summer!
Relax, I'm a professional...
Ive got a smoking cat.
oh shit small finger + small knife = bad combo 5:38
HP created the original 7-segment bubble LEDs. That TI-300 Calculator was around $1,000.00 (US) at the time. I had one. As it happens, being an electronics designer, I love those little 7-segment bubble LEDs, and I have just _one_ of those. It's a DIP arrangement, no circuit board (the one I have).
man he realy sent you some enthusiat grade equipment
Man it's like christmas all over again when it's mailbag monday :D
In Australia, little kids wear apple t shirts.
Mind Blown.
can't put into words how cool it is that you called your son Sagan
what rom does the desire have on it?
He's looking at you like "I don't know what you're talking about, I want to draw on something with this marker pen."
35:03 - The close-up on this arc is so good, that you can see a tiny little Faraday-gap in the plasma at the cathode end (on the right) even in this atmospheric pressure arc.
I love how that TI calculator PCB is made. Texas Instruments, well, more like, Taiwan Instruments, haha!
Awsome plasma action!
Thanks, I'm building a plasma speaker, I just wanted to know if the schematic of Instructable is good ;)
hahaha love the random close ups of screwdrivers and stuff xD jstu feels scary when he drops the boards on the table or draging the screwdriver across the boards. are they not easy to break?
Wow, it's been that long since we've seen Sagan as a baby? Time flies doesn't it?
Holy damn, he really sent you enthusiast grade hardware, 360mm rad with a good Swiftech pump and quite literally the best fans available for radiators (other than Delta fans), the fans are Noctua NF-F12's for anyone that's curious.
Same here, veery sensitive to the sound and unpredictable movements children make, they conflict with all my senses even when they are behind a TV screen :(
Segan is lucky having you as his father, i just love how you let him invedtigate and learn with positive uplifting feedback. - good on you! ;-)
I got an almost identical Palm Pilot for $1 at a yard sale. I loved that for what it did.
I was so waiting for a plasma speaker on EEVblog
Back in the 60s, I read an article in one of the electronics magazines about a FLAME speaker. The principle is very simple. Flames contain ionized gas. Ions, being charged, respond to an electric field. The speaker used a propane flame placed between two metal screens. A high-voltage audio signal was applied to the screens. It worked just like an electrostatic speaker, but with a flame instead of metal film. Because of the low mass of the flame, high end response was excellent.
I've done a TI battery retrofit, to replace the proprietary NiCd pack that was in there, with a 9v
That Neo-Geo is an MV-1FZ which would had been from the middle of production, which lasted from 1990 to 1997. The Neo-Geo MVS was probably the single most successful cartridge-based arcade system ever produced.
Oh my gosh, this bit about the plasma speaker must be the most interesting video you've ever shown us! HOW does that even work?
It's about time you got a helper!
He will be king of "Show and Tell" when he starts school!
Nice to see an anti-static bag around the video card :P
"You could cool down the freakin' Saturn V booster with this thing" lmao
3:23, my heart stopped when I thought you were gonna cut his fingers.
Every day is Christmas for Sagan (and Dave!) in the EEVblog lab
are you going to put the 5870 in your video editing PC
Does the design from the plasma speaker comes from instructables?
Dave, your son is so smart and awesome.
I've been curious about this. Very nice choice and big ups to mrs. EEVblog. Not every mother would approve (:
agreed, the guy was nice enough to take his time out and send something in...kind of mean to do that to an obviously big fan
I think you will have a lot of fun with this cooling system! this makes me totaly jealous...
how do you make a plasma speaker?
Aww Sagan is so cute! :D
ARGH don't put your screwdriver in there! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeek!
I have the same problem all the time xD
The level of tolerance Dave has is astronomical.
I hate cats and cigarettes too!!! Probably in that order until my daughter was born in September of 2013 then they switched places. Keep it up Dave love the channel!
I still have an old casio calculator and its even more interesting as it has only one chip directly between keys and lcd. No board or sth.
0:45 Sagan has already perfected his Ready-For-Work stance! :D
That kid is so adorable. He's going to be very smart like his old man when he gets older :)
When i saw Fatal Fury, I thought NeoGeo arcade right away.
Would love to have one myself.
I'm sure someone has told you this, but I'm on my mobile and am too lazy to check. That video card will run any game on high. the heatsink is for the video card, the video card itself was chosen for its stock cooler so it would fit. All up worth $500ish
Your definition of "reasonable fidelity" seems generous.
That video at the end.. was that a compilation or something?
about the calculator.. I did not know that they had already those small leds in the late seventies..
this kid made my day i was smilling through the whole video
that is so cool im going to try and build the palsma speaker, thanks friend
that plasma speaker is awesome, gotta make one for myself!
I might see if I can clean them up and use them in my new PC build I'm doing tomorrow.
14:10 I AM DYING AT THAT SCREWDRIVER XD
just so you know Dave, Noctua is one of the best fan brands out there! they have extremely good performance, and the ones you have there are probably for that heatsink you have. also, try and mount the fans in a pull configuration that way it makes it easyer to clean the heatsink when you have too.
have a nice day!
Your last remark on the plasma speaker reminded me of the famous 1984 Apple Mac ad. Did you select it on purpose ?
5:39 Had me worried for a moment... thought that in your excitement to get the Zoom box open with the penknife, you were also going to open up a few of your kids fingers.
