You know it's a Lexi video when the subreddit is related to tech. I'm so sorry you're suffering, Lexi.
no literally bc i saw the notification and just knew that lexi would be narrating
I do what I must
Thankyou for your suffering Lexi
@@TheLexikitty 🙏
@@user-hu1zt2pf8q Same! Also hi Lexi :D
Robin: gets subreddits that make him angry.
Lexi: gets subreddits about tech and computer. As well as r/suddenly gay and r/accidental ally.
Jack: gets whatever he wants to get.

@@GoingToAFuneral Damian loves every subreddit
what about the guest readers?
@@NotRealChatGPT they get whatever they want
I like how lexi explains stuff about tech when it seems too weird or complicated, really gives us the viewers a better view of what is going on
50th like
It's a skill to notice that something's far outside the "to be expected" when you've been into any technical field. Very admirable. I often lack that awareness...
Lexi would be happy to see this
Learn something every
Lexi has beeg brian
I love when Lexi explains the tech stuff! It's so fun to actually know what's wrong in the pic instead of going 'yeah, that looks broken.' Also I get to learn things! Which is always fun.
Glad people don’t find them. Annoying!
“This is a Jesus plug” was surprisingly a very good way of explaining to us lay people that that plug would go boom 😂
Not boom exactly. More like you become a set of Christmas tree lights.
Plug it into a power strip that's turned off. That way you'll be on the (relatively) safe end when you switch it on, and that damned printer will trouble you no more.
Listening to lexi get angry is scary and hilarious we need more lexi nararations
yeah, she does a great job narrating
10:02 Do not feel bad for the tech explanations! I know that something is wrong here, but Lexi tells me exactly *how* bad something actually is. That's what I love so much about this subreddit videos.
She has a similar series called Lexplanations on her main channel!
Lexi is slowly becoming my favorite narrator. Really enjoy her voice and hearing her rant about bad tech is nice
Lexi is amazing at narrating
It's a she?!?!

I'm going to show this subreddit to my father.
He Knows most about PCs in my family and has been an electrician for years. There barely has been a time where he didn't work in something tech related.
I'm curious how he will react to all of this and I will likely learn a lot from him explaining what's going in the picture like Lexi does ^^
Thank you Lexi for explaining everything
So tell us how it goes
@@loganroufs9705 I will but it'll take a few hours 'cause my dad's currently on a very late job and won't be back until like 2 a.m. where I'll be asleep 'cause I have work and won't be back myself until about 6 p.m. ._.

Poor Lexi!
The pure pain in her voice as she delves further and further into these nightmare machines, hiding her pain behind laughter and humor...
Her?
@@not_using_this_anymore oooo. Does she have a face reveal?
@@anareaforakinglikeme3029 Look at the description for her youtube channel! Really interesting
??? Why?
@@anareaforakinglikeme3029 she has a channel, its in the description of this video
03:25 I think this is liquid damage, looks like moisture has gotten into the layers of the display and as its dried its left residue behind that puts little bumps in the different sheets that make up the display. Theres like, six or seven of them, diffusers, polarisers... its so easy to mess up a display.
If you are referring to the LCD, no. There are only like four layers; glass, pixel matrix, diffuser, light source. Also, that has NOTHING to do with water damage as you can't damage a few pixels of an LCD. Either the entire thing goes up or it doesn't. What we see there is a very slow pixel death. It is usually a result of impact or just poor construction of the pixel layer. That can't be liquid damage for another reason. That is an LCD, ie a LIQUID crystal display.
@@protoborg No, what you see there is moisture inside the panel. I used to do this as my job, I know water damage when I see it. YOU on the other hand I'm betting have never had to take a display apart, and cobble a working one together out of broken ones because a new replacement part is not available. I have, numerous times. And frankly, just put 'laptop screen water damage' into a search engine and look at the pictures. I think you'll find a lot of very similar looking screens.
The damage isnt to the LCD, damage to that comes out as black splodges or dead lines.
My bet was moss.
Yep that absolutely is water damage. Same thing happened to my phone when it decided to swim in the sink a bit.
Lexi should know that bonfires don't save. They only heal and set a checkpoint, the game autosaves every thing you do
I have an associate's degree in NIS and I have to say some of these boggle even my mind. Lexi, you are braver a woman than I could ever hope to be (brave, I mean). Such things would likely leave me curled up in a ball in the corner crying for the terrible treatment these computers have received. Good on you.
The background music change, when the camera appeared, was just *chef's kiss*. Well done Editors.
And never stop with the technical explanations Lexi!
You got it
@@TheLexikitty hello
the editors change the music every post.
Seeing Lexi do these tech threads make me excited to enter the industry as another lady in tech (I’m currently studying for my bachelor’s!)
These videos are often educational for me as I’m currently taking classes to work in one of many tech fields and this teaches me certain things, especially when something doesn’t look obviously wrong and Lexi gives a great explanation
Absolutely love when Lexi explains tech stuff to the viewers, especially when I have the tech knowledge of a caveman. it's why she's my favorite narrator 😌
230 volts of electricity through the ethernet connection = magic smoke
If you're lucky.
came for the tech gore, stayed for Lexi explaining exactly how and why stuff is broken. this is probably why she's my favourite narrator
Ah the old "run my FTP server from my old SFF Optiplex" route. By the by, you can basically get these old Optiplexes for free if you look hard enough. I got mine from a metrology lab I was cleaning out. Was about to hit the scrapyard and it still had data acquisition cards in it. Replaced them and put in a nVidia Quadro 400. Slapped FreeBSD in it and now I have a nice 32-bit hyperthreaded workstation.
i like your funky words magic man
Sure. You have a nice workstation...if you don't mind throughput slower than molasses in a heatwave. FYI, the term is network card, not data acquisition card.
@@protoborg nope, data acquisition. It was used for vibration table testing.
bruh
I’m honestly surprised and confused as to how some of these pieces of tech still work!!
Lexi, every time you got disgusted by a post, I was right there with ya... Like, it hurts to see these tech-related Reddit posts, and I'm not even that versed in technical specs and stuff.
i am also a woman in stem and ive learned a LOT from watching these videos and listening to lexi talk about stuff! thanks friend!
Hubby once found half a wine glass in Mom's tower. How the large curved piece of glass was able to slip in the vent still confounds us to this day.
something that still scares me. about 5 years ago the power in part of our house went out (we have 2 circuts) so obviously we called a sparky. he eventually tracked it down to my room which used to be the living room. there was 2 cables that were so close together that they were burning each other and had completly burnt out. this was obviously a huge fire hazard which happens to be my worst fear. what is even worse is that those cables had not been touched in at least the past 20 years that we had lived here and we had bought the house off an elderly couple so o dont think they had been doing a loyt of work, everything was original in the house at that point so was from the 30s.
EmKay’s videos help me put on my contact lenses for some reason.
0:52 Lexi I have a solution. Put a bridge rectfier and a capacitor to make it DC. And as an added benefit you get over 300V so you can use less amperage for equivalent power solving the issue with the too thin cables. It's a win win.
That ripple current would still be nasty without a solid (and bulky) LC filter
When Lexi goes into the really technical stuff I have no idea what she's talking about but I still love watching her narrate this sub because of how knowledgable she is and she goes on whole tangents about everything
Can all tech support gore be narrated by Lexi?
It'll be.
9:30 this is a NAS even if it's not real. Like, Network Attached Storage, yea. And we quite literally see storage, attached to the network. Checks out in my book lol
From Lexi's reactions to these, and her liking Lenovos, I decided to get myself a Lenovo Ideapad for my new laptop! So far, so good!
A friend of mine in America has a hell of a tale.
Company he worked for in DC went bust in 2020. Boss moved to LA.
On the PC in his office was documents from DoD - stuff about Homey Air Force Base and on going research into black projects.. He and his colleagues destroyed the hard drives and noped the hell out.
They never looked at all the files, but he did say there was some shady shit. And why the boss had it.
Lexi, I'm sorry we make you suffer by having to go through this gore and explain the process to us. That being said, I absolutely love this subreddit, and I want more, please.
Lexi, about the power line adaptors, you could put one in each room of your house if you wanted. The signal it sends through the wires can be seen as like how Wi-Fi works, and each adaptor is an AP. Like you, I did not know you could stack them like the image in this video. The instructions I have read with the ones I use say they need direct access to the outlet and not to use something like a UPS or surge protector. I think the ones I bought double as a surge protector, so I have no clue how those are actually working.
You can just hear Lexi decaying as she does this subreddit.
Why would the O5 council follow EmKay's channel?
@@protoborg i can get bored too, you know
At one point my friend’s Wii U was shutting down randomly while playing it and after a while I got annoyed so I tried to figure out the problem and I saw that the exhaust vent was _COMPLETELY_ clogged by dust, to the point where the console was overheating and doing an emergency shutdown. So I blew the dust out of the exhaust and it worked again!
I love Lexi videos
I even more love videos where it's tech support stuff and she can really react and talk about it
I even more love when she goes deep into explaining stuff and helps me understand *exactly* how messed up these things are. Keep it up!
I love Lexi losing her marbles over tech gore, favorite emkay reader
*Normally wakes up at 8, watches RSlash.. sees r/Techsupportgore.*
Sacrifices must be made, even to my routine for Lexi demands such. BRING ON THE CRIMES TO TECH!
that laptop screen 'upgrade' reminds me of the time I used a screwdriver, some soldering equipment, as well as some ingenuity to flip my school chromebook's screen backwards, like actually backwards. The whole thing, frame, all of it, just flipped. So closing it meant I could see the keyboard basically. It was fun, and "worked" too. Not exactly easy to use though.
as soon as i saw the subreddit i knew lexi would be narrating! i love her humour and commentary!!
Whenever Lexi narrates, you know it’s gonna be a Lexi video
well, this is technically the truth. Time to forward you to Reddit, I guess

0:21 Genius idea
A touch screen with extra thick protective glass that can only detect a certain stylus on the device, so whenever you want to write something, turn your phone around, take out the stylus, scribble in what you need, and then go back to what you were doing!
Even if 90% of the time I have no idea what's happening in these videos, they're oddly (dis)satisfying to watch and more comforting to hear explained.
0:34 my dad has the same computer, he slipped and fell outside and dropped it
Can confirm: Military-grade rugged laptops are great.
Sure, you're probably dealing with Intel Integrated graphics, so your games will look like poo, but not worrying about "Oh god, I just spilled coffee on my laptop!" is such a relief.
I mean, a used one's pretty cheap (I got my Panasonic Toughbook CF-31 Mk5 for about $700, which *seems* expensive until the first "Ooops, there goes my coffee" moment), if it's IP65 compliant, it'll handle _just_ about everything normal life will throw at it (Can't toss it in a bathtub, but there's something _oddly_ enjoyable about wiping off coffee with damp paper towels _while the system is still running_ and not worrying about it), and a lot of these old rugged laptops will take a 6 foot (1.8 meter) fall without much concern about "does it still work?"
Seriously, best $700 I've spent. It's saved me $1400 in "new computers" courtesy of spilled drinks.
My mum once had a computer we called "Slowy Chloe" that was in a very tight space with little air circulation.
One day she had enough of the slow and asked me to fix it. I found over 4 gigs of crap on the computer and the equivalent amount of carpet inside the computer 😅
Slowy Chloe went from a fossilized dinosaur to a beast on a mission and mum become a far better computer mum
😂 the fact that my name is Chloe and my parents always said that my spirit animal is a sloth just made this 10 times better for me
Lexi is my favorite narrator, I love listening to her explain what happened in the photos.
2:12. This makes the extra keyboard for my laptop look like something normal.
The fungus skipped humans and went straight to zombifying the tech
MY favorite videos are Lexi torturing herself with software, hardware, and tech support gore. Best content with best commentator. Makes me want to share photos of my hard drive disc collection; I like the shiny.
2:11 No, it doesnt need to be centered. When you press the enter key, the screen will snap to the right side. Pressing any other key will slightly move the screen to the left. It also makes a nice 'ding' sound when you press enter.
That's no "Jesus Plug", that's the greatest creation of the BOFH, the "EtherKiller" 😂
0:26 He accidentally unlocked magical powers and somehow bended his 2900$ PC. There's no other explanation to this
I like the tech explanations. I think it makes it even funnier when Lexi shudders and explains why it's so awful
Lexi just reminded me of a transgirl OC i have and now I need to draw and animate her and dedicate it to Lexi ASAP!!
That must have been painful going through that especially since you can tell Lexie is good with electronics
Lexi narrates tech subredduts the best
edit: i love the thecnical expenations
I needed this. Someone explaining things to me that I already know makes me feel smart.
Man, lexi is just the best narrator

she is just superior
You'd make a great teacher Lexi, you explain things good.
Love hearing you talk about stuff!
From one tech-loving Lexi to another, I feel your pain.
3:14 I had no idea there was a name for this. Both of my ancient monitors have this issue.
"whole thing just broke off. it is done, is no longer work" broke me
"this is a jesus cable you will see jesus when you plug it in" the best and funniets thing ive ever heard.
that "lightbleed" screen on the X1 Carbon is impact damage, Screens are several thin layers compressed and sometimes laminate together and when you "pinch" them together you get a bright spot. when you pinch it so hard it creases or you damage the lamination you get a forever bright spot,
I've also had similar looking damage after intentionally soaking an LCD phone after removing the battery, in 91% isopropyl and water from the supermarket (My T-mobile HTC-G1 was on the ground and i saw it had very tiny ants crawling around, and it getting in where the screen slid open, thus the intentionality of dousing it in alcohol) The water soaked between the layers and speckled very similar to that thinkpad since it never dried out 100% from then on.
9:13 "is no longer werk" Lexikitty, 2023.
1:10 - One time a camera died instantly at work when I plugged in its power adapter. I took the power adapter to test it and the connector shocked me. When I opened it up, there was no PCB, the mains leads were directly connected to the output cable.
Judging by what happened at the end of my stay there, a couple of months later, it had been done most definitely by the last guy, no doubt about it.
5:38 - yeah, that's how most businesses are run here. Nothing new.
10:30 - a couple thousand dollars to run cable... wow! That's what you pay here to get your network done from scratch. For a building the size of a small factory.
As a Tech in Florida, I can confirm, the salt water just destroys everything. The only thing worse, are the workstations at pool supply stores....The chlorine bonds with the excess moisture in the air and literally just melts the steel.
I once had a neighbour hand me a laptop to fix an overheating problem similar to the one at 7:34. The motherboard was covered in nicotine stains and sticky dust, and it reeked of stale cigarettes. The fans were seized and didn't spin. Told him I'm not touching that.
That 220v "PoE injector" is hilarious. Also, that's a ThinkPad ethernet dongle on the other end of it. I had one of these for my piece of crap ThinkPad L13 Yoga. So glad my T14 has built in ethernet again.
When I worked in computer repair, I went to a pool store once. The chlorine in the air causes everything that can corrode to do so rapidly. they replace their pcs every couple years because they just burn up from parts degrading...
The first one pained me so much my face went into itself
That was actually a GX260 or something from that line. They made those in small form factor too. It's an easy bake capacitor oven model, as uxwbill would put it.
Please keep doing the explanations, you got me interested in computers and I'm trying to teach myself coding now! I wanna learn about computers too, like IT, but I don't know where to find free lessons on that
I love these videos for two reasons I get well narrated funny memes and I learn about tech at the same time.
0:38 that is a war crime against thinkpads.
As a computer tech - sooooo many of these had me cringing, crying, hollering, and dying inside.... over and over.
5:00 People made the Voyager 2 probe so well that it's still operational today, over 45 years later, without any service or repairs, in the radiation-blasted vacuum of outer space. In light of this it's just plain depressing how many devices today just give up after maybe two years.
as a tech person 90% of the photos are making my braincells leave my body
4:04 bro tried to make his pc faster by adding an afterburner
That 1060 refuses to die. and I can bet it'll gain intelligence before it's last breath
0:53 - Ah, the Etherkiller! Someone's been reading the BOFH. Good way to get an upgrade if your boss is too cheap.
5:30 - Someone didn't want to pay the dumping fee for the official way to dispose of their old computers and their IT guys took the cheap way out.
And this is why I have a moving box JUST for my laptop and I pack it full of padding to keep it from shifting in the box
5:55 selling company? C.V. Tile & Stone, right before Christmas the owner laid off almost everyone. He is selling his company, and we were surprised, because we thought the owner was going to give it to family. Make it into a family business. Ryan, you rest your spirit, We will always love you.
As an electrical engineer working on power grid infrastructure, that mains PoE cable will haunt my nightmares.
0:56 plug this in and say bye bye to your ipad. Lol
Lexi we ALWAYS appreciate the technical explanations
2:52 "My God, it's full of stars!" -Dave Bowman, 2001: A SpaceOdyssey
2:51 oh hooooo no no no that cpu will never see the light of day again, the shiny part of the cpu that looks like a mirror is a protective heat layer ( heat passes through it and into the IHS) that covers the actual architecture ( or the tiny nano processors) that layer seems to have shattered while being delidded.
Regarding POE - it doesn't use "unused cables". Data over Ethernet is sent as AC and is usually electrically isolated from computers via transformers. POE taps into the transformers and uses one as ground and second as +48V.
My heart crys everytime a thinkpad gets killed
My aunties first computer, a PIII W98SE Fujitsu Siemens, was 7/8 years old when it got replaced, only time it had been opened was when I acquired it, needed next to no cleaning inside.
"This is a Jesus cable"
That is a surprisingly good explanation
it is a 270/280 optiplex and there was a massive recall on there motherboards as they used over filled capacitors that woudl expand,blow, and/or leak
8:40
Jesus...
That computer is freaking Rasputin.
Burned, battered, bruised... flooded.
And still kicking after all that punishment.
Lol
3:27 That's probably water damage to the poor LCD
the broom closet one. here is my technical term for it. "Supervisor, we need to talk about our users and this dinosaur. i want to upgrade it before they complain.........we just had a complaint." it once happened at work. i was talking about upgrading a "server" as i was about to say what i think.......we had 10 calls on the specific server. i was allowed to upgrade all of them with new parts... haven't had a call on them.
As for the video...........that is one nicely smooth video that i don't have to fix [sorry had to make a tech support joke].
0:04 Imagine if the Tic-Tac-Toe was a tie lol
7:30 That pc's fan configuration definitely has negative pressure. Which is a big nono since you pull dust in like a vacuum cleaner.
Neutral or very slight positive pressure is best to keep everything clean, and the intake should be from a side where dust cannot be pulled in, so the back or a very clean floor without any carpet or anything of similar sort.
