i love the mom and pop store video, it was not only wholesome but really fun to watch. The chemistry between the store owner and linus was not cringe at all, in fact it is very genuinely funny. I hope they make more video like that.
so so true
would be hard to find someone as entertaining as that store owner though
Playing the gambling games really made that video work. Without it I think it wouldn't have been a good video or at least as good
You said exactly what i was thinking. IT WAS REALLY FUN.
Yo Linus, I got your solution for packing all that stuff. I ran a small biz sending toys for about 20 years, and a handful of years ago I picked up a small-scale air-filled bubble making machine. You can even get generic rolls for it, and it has the extension arm for larger bubble media, and another upgrade kit. It'd be perfect for occasional stuff like this. HMU :P
Dan is such an amazing producer. I feel like WAN show now has some calm and soothing NPR vibes to compliment the chaos XD
NPR? Isn’t that that neoliberal radio station?
Hi Dan
@@feelincrispy7053 ?
@@feelincrispy7053with the very soft talking, yes
I would love to see a deep dive into how old electronics are responsibly recycled. Getting an inside glimpse at the recycling companies and processes would be great and right in line with you company ideals
90% of it goes straight to land fills. its very rarely worth the effort to seperate the materials
@@bradhaines3142that could still be a cool video. See why it isn't worth it and what could be done to change that
Spoiler: they aren’t
They did do a video on the facility in Taiwan that harvested precious metals from e waste.
And at scale it is worth it. There's billions of dollars in it.
People pay you to take it, and you get precious metals.
@@ac.creations not smaller things. worth pennies, takes minutes to sort out. thus it ends up in land fills
There couldn't be anyone better than Keith.
He played the negotiation role very well and in a very fun way which made it incredibly fun.
My wife, who is not tech interested, watched it all the way through with me and said "So is he the Rick Harrison of obsolete computer stuff"
@@thejunkman Exactly what I thought. It looks like hes hosting a tech focused pawnshop called Comp Star
@@thejunkman "The best I can do is $1 off"
I’d love to see a video in a year of that store and see how they’re doing
I'm not even an Apple fan, but yes it would be sad and upsetting if you gutted that G4 Mac cube to build a PC in it.
But what if they sold the working parts and just used their case? I'm just curious what you think
It would be funny they put the new mac mini inside the g4 mac
@@Collin_Jthat still wouldn't be ideal, they're a pretty sought after collectors item and fairly rare already. We shouldn't be breaking up complete working examples for a random video
Not knowing what happened before this & why they didn’t have pants on is an interesting experience
a follow-up with Keith in a month would be great
like a Kitchen Nightmare revisit lmao
I sorta want the saga of Keith to continue. I was watching the Geek Squad vs Mom and Pop video the other day and realized that Keith is the guy on the phone for the mom and pop shop, Linus buying his store is like a sequel to that video.
I loved it. I would love to see what the store is like again in a year's time. A follow-up of the new items they purchased.
YESSS. ABSOLUTELY THIS!
hopefully linus or the audience can advise what he should stock his store with
Or you can treat him as competent and not assume he's incapable of doing this himself? The acquisition of 20 years of detritus doesn't necessarily mean he needs his hands held running his own store...
I'd love to see a scrapyard wars where they go to another shop and have to pick stuff out of the oldest stuff they have available.
That video was truly one of my all time LTT favourite videos. It had such a good vibe throughout - really great fun.
If that video can be done 4x a year across North America it would be one of the most epic series LTT would make.
Not only you’re helping a small business directly, but you’d also make good friends along the way.
Please make more of that because that was so wholesome.
That sounds absurdly expensive
120,000 a year isn't nothing, but it's also not break-the-bank expensive
They spend 24k CAD a year on snacks for the office’s, 120k for one year if this is a bargain.
Also, WAN Show nets around 40k CAD an episode and they do 52 of them on a normal year, 51 this year for……reasons
I saw people mention… this is how you bring back scrapyard wars….
They couldn’t buy from people because too many fans.
Maybe don’t pay 10x the amount but give more than they’d ever actually get for it.
@@Ben4Ai dont think the money will be the problem here lol
Puts Keith on a Techlinked Just for the LOLs
Completely off topic: but low-key the video highlights the potential benefits of pedestrianisation. It short: it can lead to more money/people for locally-run independent stores, like the mum-and-pop store in the video. (This is inferred from Linus’ story about how he had to walk to the restaurant and saw the/similar store)
Make the sequel you guys! That'd be real fun! Milk it for all it's worth.
The autograph thing, you could just do it randomly for regular orders instead of it just being buying an autograph for the purpose of buying an autograph and just have a check box for anyone that wants just the item and no autograph chance at all
I feel like this was only the proto version of what could be a series. I think it would be better if instead of taking the gambling angle, it took a more "kitchen nightmares" vibe with linus coming in and buying everything and then helping them get stocked up with anything modern they would need or come up with systems that avoid that kind of thing happening again, like selling stuff at a discount or listing them on ebay after they hit a certain date past it's manufacturing. Although it wouldn't be like ltt to do the same thing over and over, I think there are plenty of ways to evolve the same idea of helping a small tech store.
I said in the original video...the G4 cube is a steal! They're highly collectible.
I LOVE what you did for that store buying all that stock and helping them out! I LOVE IT!!! We NEED more of this helping small businesses like that!
"Because the no has more weight"
God damn it, why weren't you in charge of Brexit...
Coz the government were like, welp this not legally binding poll sure was close, but 51% is the majority, I guess we should leave and figure stuff out later when it's what people want!
Signing stuff is gonna take you forever. Nice idea when there is only a handful of items.
17:22 If only the UK government took the same mentality with Brexit... 52% is not majority enough for such a huge decision lmao
"no has more weight when its significant" if only Linus had been in charge of Brexit in the UK.
Do a "The Price Is Right" episode, like you did "Deal or No Deal"
I wonder if the +100% roll was real or staged to help the owner. Even if it was staged, I still love that video.
Forreal I was cracking up the whole time! Knew this one was gold. Damn! can't wait for the follow up
Could do an employee stress relief day with a "break room" for some of the really old stuff. Would be funny!
I think it’s about time for a permanent 3rd host on the show. Maybe someone that can challenge Linus a little bit more. Feel it would make for a greater and more entertaining dynamic. Still love the show!
I LOVE the G4 cube IDEA... but it wasn't great execution... I WISH they'd done better- and a sleeper in that case could be amazing!
I’d watch the crap out of all of these follow up concepts if they came out one after another or heck post them every Friday until they’re done
G4 Cube is an industrial design masterpiece
do an E-recycling video! recycle all the worst stuff as completely as possible, remelt the metals and scavenge all the components, shred and make a new PCB out of the fibres!
Top Gear's indestructible Toyota Hilux series was good, now lets see
LTT's indestructible Panadonic Toughbook series
I worked in electronics recycling for 2 years and I've never seen a G4 cube. Tons of other vintage macs, but never the cube. That's a find tbh.
Should do a follow-up down the road. On what he ended up filling his shop with, and with the newer items, has he gotten more busy.
G4 cube is definitely not work of art. It looks kinda cool and head of its time but still dated by today's standards.
a working G4 Cube has sold for $450 by itself with no accessories 2 days ago on ebay
There are people on youtube that could do videos on old tech.
Maybe you can share.some of the stuff
i really did enjoy that episode. i used to work as a repair and on-site tech for a small shop like that. fortunately we were tied in with some big recyclers so it was easier for us to just get rid of that stuff, and we kept very very limited stock on stuff like what was in the video. if someone wanted something, we'd order it and we would handle any warranty that they might need on that product.
Please don't build a G4 cube sleeper. I guarantee you people in the vintage Mac community will be upset
Agreed I would rather just have the cube
WHY IS LINUS USING A SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 7? I wonder…..
It was one of the best videos that I saw from your channel. I was really smiling during the video and laughin a lot. It has a little MrBeast vibe to it. Thanks for the Video
It the LTT Onesie had feet with the grippy soles I'd be totally into them...
Can confirm those Panasonic laptops are not indestructible. We had them in my auto tech college and a student was lowering a vehicle down from a car lift and didn't move the cart the laptop was on and the wheel of the car crushed the screen.
I hope whatever you do with the stuff involves an "LGR thing" - Collab made in PC part heaven!
Yeah, so much of that stuff is perfect for LGR
One man's junk is another man's oddware video after all
How about not selling the cube, but auctioning it off to charity?
You could use the stuff as part of the upcoming Scrapyard Wars - assign someone not building a PC to sell the parts, and the builders have to buy them. Maybe for items you know all the teams will want, hold an auction.
The one about Linus guessing how much he was hosed on the haul would be a fun CSF video
I mean I would buy in to see if I could end up with one of those laptops or a case :)
seriously thought even if he doesn't buy out the stores, would love to see a series of Linus going in and interviewing stores like this as there aren't many yet.
Regarding the *random* sign merch, because of customs (like in Argentina for example) it would be nice to have a way of knowing what it is before its shipped to declare the item category in customs. if i get a cable thats no issue but a graphics card or monitor is never getting through. And never for 25 dollars, if the price is too low the figure is to avoid taxes. Here you are obligated to tell what is the item category and the price in order to get what you bought, otherwise you lost it.
5:35 I'm 50 and I've been in and out of the IT space since the early 90s and had a computer since I was in middle school so when the suggestion about asking the younger staff what some of the things were I too groaned like Linus but recognized the brilliance.
A sleeper pc? That'd be so cool, it's been so long since you've made one.
My only crit of that video was lack of a cohesive intro. It just started in this store without any explanation.
I'd instantly buy the onesie if shipping to Europe wasn't so damn expensive
23:49 so wait, it's literally the first video to be edited after the production pause and he would have the editors rush it out for sponsors? way to miss the entire point of the pause🤦
Release the haggling cut! Jokes aside, would be fun to have on LTT a video with you just haggling in the mom-and-pop store.
Why not calculate the ebay average price to yours and tlak about it in the next Wan show.
G4 Cube Hackintosh
before i even start this video i already guessed what the was the point for all that equipment.....Scrapyard wars lol at least most of it
Check how much copper and gold you can get out of those components for upcycling
You guys should do another video with him
Let Mac address refurbish the cube
Auction it as signed so people can get what they want
My absolute favorite video in a long time.
I have fantasized about doing something like that and save a business.
A couple more like this and you guys could buy out a microcenter. ! Keep it going
Do a Charity Auction, with signed merch and other surprises. Donate the money and tax write off. Simple, good for PR, the audience gets commemorative 'junk', helps support a non-profit. I suggest money goes to the EFF, Signal messenger, Team Seas, Team Trees & Something E-waste related. Maybe get a collaboration with Mr. Beast & PewDiePie!
15:30 I don't like the loot box idea. Paying $50 (or whatever the avg price might be) and getting an old USB2 type A cable would be more irritating than most gaming loot boxes lol. I would say that you should bundle the cables in as a signed item included with the first N backpacks sold... and then whatever other merch. Then that way people are getting the merch, and surprised by what else may be included. The big things could be giveaways at LTX 2024 or some such.
what? AUSTRIA did not get nuclear power despite we had a nuclear reactor built because 0f 50,5% NO to 49,5% YES to switch it on Wekk I think you should first test it, if its working at all, and then you can decide what to do, but basically I would say NO because what is the use, the result compared to the retro computer? I dont like apple, but I also dont like destroying things and in the end, it is too complex anyway. And it was done before, pretty lame, a guy did it on TH-cam and it is not much space inside because it is parted in 2 compartments and the connecors are on the bottom?!?! So those selfmade things are never that nice as the original fitting part.
Yo Linus, if you want a for parts G4 cube to build a sleeper in I have one you can have for shipping (From OR, USA). I’d just love to see a retro review of the cube you have, particularly the opening mechanism which still makes me smile.
I want to see you lot go all Office Space on that laptop.
Honestly, I don't like it and thought it was one of the worst LTT videos I've seen. It was just another "youtuber gives sponsor's money to ordinary person" video, which is cute but not good. There was none of that educational value I expect from LTT.
I didn’t like it that much tbh dude’s shop was filled with over priced junk, probably owns a house and owns a business, wasn’t even really like nice or cool, just a dude with money who wasn’t even all that appreciative.
The haul of old stuff is fascinating though and would be a ton of fun to mess around with.
Edit: thinking about it more I liked the video actually, the gambling part was great, it was fun, I just don’t particularly like that dude or his shop
Sleeper build or not? Well if it still works, then NO.
if it's broken then consider it.
Start by measuring and checking dimensions against the parts you are considering. If you can't shoehorn in a really L33T gaming system then put down your tools and step back from the table.
Now ask your audience if anyone has a ratty but working Mac Cube to transplant. And if no one is interested then look at what the best computer you can build into that would be and take another poll giving the details of how you got to this point.
Donation to a school program? Especially an under-funded school nearby? Could be a fun thing, especially to see what some STEM programs could build with some of it
Linus I'd love to sub to float plane. Just not in the budget right now. But rather than just talking about it, why not take the most popular video once a month or quarter and put it on LTT? It would save you a production spot take some pressure of the production schedule. Maybe it would be more enticing that just mentioning it on the WAN show.
Mate, people got upset because mkbhd unboxed a sealed iphone 3... people got upset because whistling diesel abused a R34 skyline. They're just objects, please do a cool clean sleeper build in it and give it a second live!!
Might be irrelevant but I would pay 50 bucks if youd sell the stuff in a secret Santa kinda style. Im in Germany so I wouldn’t want my stuff to be shipped so you’d give it away to someone else who actually needs it.
Linus I disagree about you not being much of a gambler. Life in general is a gamble, especially if you decide to start a business. You Linus are a gambler you just gamble in different ways and mainly on yourself, your employees, business partners, and more. You gamble probably more and harder than most people I can think of. The difference is to put it in the most basic term possible while others are gambling at casino's built by other people, you're gambling at a casino built by you.
Honestly? Milk it. A great video and for the money you paid, you might as well get as much content out of it as possible. I'll watch it. I'll watch the heck out of it.
The Apple G4 cube is the only computer ever to be placed in the Museum of Modern Art. MOMA. It is considered a work of art. Don't mess it up. It's Iconic
no follow it up, like you bought a tone of content, from historical exploration to finding out how far removed from the past the youngest are, to like... a tone of other just intreasting ideas you can do with the things you bought, like it's very much almost an obligation to milk the purchase from that store for like ever.
Can 31 minutes be a clip? I guess since the actual show is much longer but lol
People who's watching this from LMG Clips is VERY confused as to why they have their pants off.
Maybe sign some of the cables and a person can buy one of the cables for 5 dollars and they might get one that's signed. The big items maybe sign them or just sell them. I think the cube should be left alone. The video was great.
you guys act like those tough books aren't good, for any business that works in an environment where there could be liquids spilt or dirt anywhere they are great, my parents used them for over a decade (with more modern updated ones every like 4 years) and they have never had one die on them, even though they used them in dirty barns all across their practice area.
that Apple cube worth some good money. it one of the last best apple computer made and it still can be upgraded to the newest apple program.
An upgradable apple product? AINTNOWAY
@@beeeennnnnnn if you get the apple cube with a G5 chip in it or find a upgradeable G4 intel cube that you can put a G5 chip in, they worth a lot of money
@@DBJohnson2k well dang
MILK IT! it doesnt matter. its cool it wont be wasted and if you leave it to long its going to be less interesting because its less current.
Also I understand the wording of "milking it" but its not milking if its all goed content. then its just alot of content around this subject. milking it is making content thats just starting to go bad but you are unwilling to let it go
For the G4 cube. How about a video where they try to fabricate a replica with a sleeper PC inside or a modern day m2 system.
Don't make a video where you ask the younger members of your team what certain old items are. That's the biggest Boomer energy thing I've ever heard
Better be your best video in a while, you guys really screwed the pooch…
(Nice clickbait title)🐶++
People genuinely collect old Apple stuff. Retro anything in electronics is popular somewhere.
Find local schools that need the useful equipment donate it, make a video out of it, and the useless crap find a local reclycling center and give it all and make a tour or something.
Regarding what is and isn't collectable, imagine how collectable an original first model iphone would be.
i was so conrfused, i didnt watch the whole pod, so im trying to explain why for the first 2 minutes they were getting dressed XD
I hope he doesn't buy new stock. Looks like a passion project and not a business. He got bailed out once, needs to be more strategic.
You should do a price is right style game show where everything you have to guess the price on is from the haul
JerryRigEverything enters the chat...
"Destructive testing, you say?"
Do a video about the G4 Cube! It's such a cool computer
I would have thought given Linus's habits that he is all for the destruction of working hardware.
