    Alex: Modifies his Allen wrenches, removing the bendy part.
    Alex: Can't access a bolt because his modified wrench is too long, and has no bend.
    Alex: "This is a design problem."

      Why would you even modify Allen keys when you just should have a hex bit set. Especially with such a decked out workshop that Linus bought for Alex...

      @@ericvenneker Okay, I can answer this. As part of my job, I conduct fire drills. One of our hand-pull stations uses an Allen headed screw to reset the mechanism. None of my standard or metric keys fit it, but the one that came with it does. If I had a set of calipers I would measure it, but I would bet you that people use very odd diameters for proprietary hardware. Kind of stupid on Ikea's part, but hey, maybe it's a thing.

      Bought this exact chair a week ago, can attest that even with the regular bendy allen key it still gets stuck. Was genuinely surprised that it happened to not just me. With hindsight, it's easier to put the armrest first then the hydraulics after.

    When I think Ikea, I don't think cheap, I think "I'm going to be able to have this shipped to me, carry the package up the narrow-ass stairs in my 150 year old house to my apartment on the third floor, and it's going to fit, then I can assemble it, and it's going to be pretty good."

    For anyone actually considering buying the IKEA gear, from someone who bought it recently:
    Its really good actually. Me and my room mate bought 2 of the non-standing version of the desk. Its still height adjustable though. We paid £99 ($136) each and may be the best desk I've tried. 160cm length with height adjust and and a tray/net to hide cables is a steal. I didn't buy the chair, cup holders etc. but my room mate loves them. The desk is super rigid and doesn't move or shake which was a big deal breaker for my last one. As I play mostly CSGO and other FPS games when I swiped my mouse my monitor arm would shake with the desk but the IKEA one doesn't move an inch.
    As much as I like the standing version and looked at it in store, the extra $350 for it really wasn't worth it when the regular version has height adjust anyway. Reccommendation from me if anyone cares!

      Bought the chair a week ago. Overall, I think it's worth the money. It's cheap, so temper your expectations. The lumbar support is pretty alright, not much worse than their Jarvfjallet (christ, what a name). Headrest is good if a bit weak, the tilting can't resist the weight of your head so be wary of that.

    so in case you're actually wondering why ikea packaging doesn't say what it actually is alongside the name, it's because that way they don't have to make separate packaging for items in different countries. the item names and numbers are the same worldwide, so that way the items can get packaged at the same factory they're made at and ikea saves some costs (and time).

Eaton is amazing, we upgraded from several Furman and APC power supplies and battery backups that kept dying, as we setup a whole broadcast control studio, and the Eaton has not only not died from the horrible wall power coming into it, it's completely corrected and smoothed out the voltage that would constantly fluctuate (I mean bad fluctuations, from 106v to 124v), now a consistent 120v or 119v for the past year and a half, no equipment has died, amazing product that protects tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment. They may not be sexy and may not be loaded with stupid RGB craziness, but I'll gladly promote a product that has gone above and beyond what the sales pitch for it is.

It's also nearly 4x the price of APC's equivalent online topology Smart-UPS. I can afford to spend $700 for three UPS units. I can't afford to spend $12K.

    Bought the Utespelare desk in 2022 (the cheaper one in the video with the "boardroom-style" cable management) and it's still great. Feels just as super-solid as it did on day one, with no signs of looseness or wobbliness. I think I even left a review on the LTT-forums back then because I was so impressed with the desk - especially at its original price, which was much lower than what it is today. I *think* I paid a little over €100 and today it's €200. Still: I think the fact alone that Ikea are still making these desks two years later speaks for their quality and popularity.

    Alex, I'm pretty sure the "L" and "R" markings on those arms is like that because they're assuming you'll have the orientation flipped when you're installing them on their bottom of the chair itself. Most people will have the back of the chair pointed away from them as they're attaching the arms, so the "Left" arm would be to your right and the "Right" arm would be to your left.

    • @blahorgaslisk7763
      @blahorgaslisk7763 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@Shmynkellbonkenstein OK so taking the fun out of this... Language comes very naturally to some and a lot less so to others. It helps if your birth language is similar to the one you are trying to learn, but if it's to close you often end up just speaking the new language with a very hard accent.
      I'm from Sweden and a classmate of mine was born in the UK but had almost no accent I could detect. I kind of assumed he had lived here for a long time and was very surprised when I learned that the family moved to Sweden less than a year earlier, and he hadn't known any Swedish before that. We were 17 at the time...
      At the same time the school cafeteria was run by a man from Turkey who had lived here for more than fifteen years. His accent was so bad I had a hard time understanding him. I attribute that in part to probably having some damage to my hearing even back then. Operating heavy construction equipment and some really loud machinery since I turned 12 and often skimping on the hearing protection probably didn't help. Yes I knew it was probably bad, but at that age you are still "immortal". Thing is that even though this man had lived here for so long, and worked in the service industry where he had to talk to people every day his accent was still so brutal I often had to ask him to repeat himself.
      Not everyone has the same affinity for language. For instance I have known several people form the UK that moved to Sweden and my school mate is the only one that picked up the language that completely and quickly, and has the least accent of them all.
      Yea I know. YT posts in a thread like this should be light hearted and fun, and absolutely should not a wall of text. So sue me...

Before jumping into conclusion I think you should take a look at things first. For the past few days the price of Bitcoin has been fluctuating which means the Market is currently unstable and you can't tell if it is going bearish or bullish . While others Still continue to trade without the fear of making loss , others are been patient.
