Yeah.

是啊

No.

不

Oh, no No, I don't mean the video.

哦，不不，我不是說視頻。

I mean, oh, yeah, there we go Okay Taiwanese media appears to have picked up in a big way the video that we recorded in We visited a random if you haven't seen it we visited just a random computer shop in the mall We made our decision based on who had the coolest PC in front of it.

我的意思是，哦，對了，我們走吧 好吧，臺灣媒體似乎大肆報道了我們在《我們隨機走訪了一家商場裡的電腦店》（如果你沒看過的話）中錄製的視頻。

It was pretty cool So it's a good choice and we asked them to build us a PC for 5,000 US dollars to see what they would come back with and how it compared to an equally priced system from main gear also with hardline liquid cooling the system they gave us was Absolutely sick like the builder Freaking nailed it in pretty much every way the only thing that I would say that they didn't quite get right was the memory configuration and I'm very disappointed about this because Gary from the lab pointed out that in the video when I'm troubleshooting the The memory speed that it won't apply Expo.

這很酷，所以是個不錯的選擇，我們要求他們用 5、我想說的是，他們唯一沒弄好的地方是內存配置，我對此感到非常失望，因為實驗室的加里在視頻中指出，當我對內存速度進行故障排除時，它並不適用世博會。

We apparently cut out the part where I said, hey AMD has trouble running For dims at maximum speed so I doubt Expo is going to work So a number of people thought that I didn't understand what the issue was I did but it wasn't really the point of the video the point of the video was that the solution was to pull out two sticks or Ideally the solution would have been to configure the system if you really want 64 gigs of memory With a 2 by 32 gig kit in the first place, so I stand by everything I said in the video I still dock some marks for that because I would not want to run a Ryzen 7000 system at 3600 megatransfers per second, but It's also it's it's not that it was broken It's just that there was a performance penalty to configuring it that way everything else about the system, dude Did you watch the video?

我們顯然剪掉了我說的部分，嘿 AMD 有麻煩運行為 dims 在最大速度，所以我懷疑世博會是要去工作，所以很多人認為我不明白問題是什麼我做了，但它不是真正的視頻的要點視頻的要點是，解決方案是拉出兩個棒或理想的解決方案本來是配置系統，如果你真的想要 64 gigs 的內存與 2 由 32 gig 套件擺在首位、所以我堅持我在視頻中所說的一切 我還是會是以扣分 因為我可不想以每秒 3600 兆傳輸速率運行 Ryzen 7000 系統

I watched the whole thing actually it was great Did you see how he packed the GPU or original cooler?

我看了整個過程，真的很棒，你看到他是如何包裝 GPU 或原裝冷卻器的嗎？

He put every screw back in exactly the place It would need to be so that when it's time to reassemble that thing super easy.

他把每顆螺絲都準確無誤地放回了需要放的位置，這樣當重新組裝時就會非常容易。

I'm ready to do it I have never seen that before in fact I'm trying to think back because we secret shopped some competitors like way back in the day when I was at NCIX And we got some water-cooled systems, and I don't even think they included the original coolers Like yeah, I doubt it even even like all the accessories and manuals and stuff like that You can't take that for granted when you buy a fully integrated system necessarily But he included everything just like the system would have been if I was an enthusiast Custom builder, and I built the system myself, and I had all the pieces that came with it I was so so impressed by the build Rather than trying to bring the PC back to Canada though which would have been a chore We decided to give it away to the first person that recognized us on the street Which I wound up being a Taiwanese junior high student at least one media source did interview him And he said that in addition to gaming he wants to use the new computer to edit videos and experiment with LLMs This wasn't in the video because we had wrapped by that point But we went to the bakery that we were headed to and then on our way back He was still on the corner and his mom was there and she made an offhand remark about how he better use it for studying Which I thought was the funniest thing ever Not just gaming you also better use it first time Of course Classic mom comment one of the shop's social media accounts posted about video saying it was around 2 a.m..

我已經準備好了，我以前從未見過這種情況，事實上，我在努力回想，因為我們曾暗中調查過一些競爭對手，比如早在我還在 NCIX 工作的時候，我們就買過一些水冷系統，但我認為他們甚至不包括原裝散熱器、我們決定把電腦贈送給第一個在街上認出我們的人，結果我發現他是個臺灣初中生。但我們去了我們要去的麵包店，然後在回來的路上，他還在街角，他媽媽在那裡，她不經意地說了一句，他最好用它來學習，我覺得這是最有趣的事情了，不只是遊戲，你最好第一時間使用它。m..

So I got him back That's okay if you watch the video, that's actually a fun close the loop right there Yeah, because there was such a high level of personalized service, and I don't know what it is but like here in the Western in Western culture I Don't actually like giving my phone number to people when they ask for it because hotels will ask for your phone number And then they'll like text you incessantly and like I'm worried.

所以我把他找回來了 沒關係，如果你看視頻的話，這其實是個很有趣的閉環 是啊，因為那裡有如此高水平的個性化服務，我不知道是什麼原因，但在這裡，在西方文化中，當別人問我要電話號碼時，我其實並不喜歡給他們，因為酒店會問你要電話號碼，然後他們會不停地給你發短信，就像我很擔心一樣。

They'll send me off Yeah, whereas with this guy.

他們會把我送走的 是啊，和這個傢伙在一起。

I didn't even mind.

我根本不介意。

He's like yeah, I'll add you online Which means he doesn't need to have my phone number.

他說是的，我會在網上加你，也就是說他不需要我的電話號碼。

It's just like a social social media.

它就像一個社交媒體。

You could just delete them yeah, it's just it's just like a messaging app and the the conversation was so smooth and just I Didn't feel skeezy.

你可以直接把它們刪掉，是的，它就像一個資訊應用程序，對話非常流暢，我也不覺得噁心。

It just felt like it didn't feel like he was collecting my data He asked you if you opened it and set it up because he's probably curious like are you happy with it doesn't work That's where I was getting to because he had me on on an instant messaging app He messaged me at 2 30 in the morning the night that I took the night that I took delivery of the system Being like hey like is it going great, and I'm like brother It's 2 30 in the morning to be fair And I think you pointed this out in the video as well if I bought that system on that day I would probably still be up And I did tell him I don't know if this made it into the cut But I did tell him I have had like a gaming event this weekend and that's why I like needed it this weekend like he put on the he put on the gas to get that system to me because I mean Yvonne asked him.

他問你是否打開並設置了它，因為他可能很好奇，比如你是否對它不工作感到滿意，這就是我的問題所在，因為他讓我使用即時通訊應用程序，他在我收到系統的當晚凌晨 2 點半給我發了消息，比如嘿，比如一切順利嗎？我想你在視頻中也指出了這一點，如果我在那天買了那套系統，我現在可能還沒睡呢，而且我確實告訴他了，我不知道這是否能被剪輯下來，但我確實告訴他了，我這個週末有一個遊戲活動，所以我這個週末需要這套系統，就像他加了油把那套系統給我一樣，因為我是說伊馮娜問他了。

I don't know if this made it into the cut either But yeah, he's building like three four or five systems a day in there and that system is not the kind of system that you build Four of them in a day I don't I don't care what kind of PC building God you are like that that takes time you could build maybe a couple of Those in a day if you're really good Any anyway, so I got him back because this is this is from the shops post it was around 2 a.m.

我也不知道這是否被剪輯進去了，不過是的，他在那裡一天要建三四個或五六個系統，而那個系統不是那種一天能建四個的系統，我不管你是什麼樣的電腦建造之神，那是需要時間的，如果你真的很厲害的話，也許一天能建幾個，總之，我把他找回來了，因為這是商店的帖子，大概是凌晨兩點左右。

And suddenly I was bombarded with phone notifications.

突然間，我就被各種電話通知轟炸了。

I wondered what earth shattering event had happened Oh God it turns out that guy I met is a huge deal.

我不知道發生了什麼驚天動地的大事，哦，天哪，原來我遇到的那個人是個大人物。

I even apologized to him and said I didn't recognize him Oh, did he send you another message online?

我甚至向他道歉，說我認不出他了 哦，他又在網上給你發資訊了嗎？

It's so funny Yeah, no, here's what here's we say I mean I mean I don't I don't care man like it doesn't yeah I don't I don't I don't need the ego stroking part of part of it is that video wouldn't have worked if he did I'm so glad so it's actually great that he didn't recognize you.

是啊，不，我們是這麼說的 我的意思是，我的意思是，我不 我不在乎男人喜歡它不 是啊，我不，我不 我不需要自我撫摸 它的一部分的一部分是，視頻 不會有工作，如果他做到了 我很高興，所以它實際上是偉大的 他沒有認出你來。

Yeah No, I and again that didn't make it into the cut But I I talked about that I talked about how important it was and how much fun it was Being able to go incognito again for a change like it is it ruins Everything.

但我說過，我說過這有多重要，有多有趣 能夠再隱姓埋名一次，就像它毀了一切。

Yeah, when I any of this type of content that we try to do is rough if people are just like hey Linus Well, then you're not seeing what the shopping experience is supposed to be you're seeing how someone mean to hide it by the way Yeah, you're because often we can tell anyways.

是啊，當我任何這種類型的內容，我們試圖做的是粗略的，如果人們只是像哎萊納斯那麼，那麼你沒有看到什麼購物體驗應該是你看到別人的意思是如何隱藏它的方式是啊，你因為往往我們可以告訴反正。

Yeah, and it's it's The whole point is that it's supposed to be an authentic shopping experience.

是的，它的關鍵在於它應該是一種真實的購物體驗。

Yes And so it was it was really fun to be able to go incognito man.

是的，所以能隱姓埋名真的很有趣。

It was great Anyway, hold on so So, oh, yeah, so I I did message him after I took delivery and I said The system's great I made a review video and I'm gonna upload it in a week or two, but I didn't tell him who I was I didn't give him any context for it.

總之，等一下，所以，哦，是的，我收貨後確實給他發了資訊，我說系統很棒，我做了一個評測視頻，一兩週後上傳，但我沒告訴他我是誰，也沒給他任何背景資訊。

He goes.

他走了

Oh, really?

哦，真的嗎？

Can you send it to me?

你能寄給我嗎？

I want to post it on my facebook For and the number of like conspiracy theories in the comments about how like old fake fake fake You're bull you're you're bullshit detectors not working so you need to recalibrate Many of those comments there was there's there's enough and I'm speaking to those people just chill, you know, just relax So I go, okay.

我想把它發到我的臉書上，評論裡有很多陰謀論，說什麼老假的假的，你是牛，你是狗屁探測器失靈了，所以你需要重新校準，很多評論都是這樣的，我對那些人說，別緊張，你知道的，放輕鬆。

I'll send it when I'm done.

我完成後會寄給你。

He goes.

他走了

Thanks, dude.

謝謝，老兄。

I go my videos ready.

我去準備我的視頻。

I sent it to me go He goes shit, dude Hundred people is telling me this Sorry, I really didn't recognize And I go no, it's better that way thanks for the amazing system you made the young man who won it very happy Everyone is saying WTF man.

我把它寄給了我，他說 "媽的，哥們兒"，"有上百人跟我說這個"，"對不起，我真的沒認出來"，我說 "不，這樣更好"，"謝謝你的神奇系統，你讓贏得它的年輕人非常開心"，"大家都在說'WTF man'"。

You don't know And he said thanks for your trust Which I thought was really cool because he really did in good faith build me the best system for my money It was killer, you know I didn't even compare to Like what I could have gotten just buying the parts on Newegg and assembling it myself Because I don't even really feel like I have to Knowing sort of Approximate.

他說，謝謝你的信任，我覺得這很酷，因為他真的誠心誠意地為我打造了性價比最高的系統，簡直是殺手級的，你知道，我甚至都比不上在新蛋網上買零件自己組裝的價格。

No, that was a good value It was a good value and if they took a little bit of profit margin, then they should I know a few people that live In Taiwan and I've heard that it's actually pretty common to have people like that build your system because they they warranty it really well Right, and he even said in his video like yeah, my warranties a year or whatever But he'd have problems in two or three years.

我認識幾個住在臺灣的人，聽說讓他們幫你建系統很常見，因為他們保修得很好。

Just talk to me.

跟我說說話

Awesome.

棒極了

Super cool.

太酷了

Trust me bro guarantee And you know what?

相信我，兄弟保證，你知道嗎？

I actually trust him Yeah, because I've said I've said a hundred times a warranty is only as good as the willingness to fulfill it That is just a fact and even though he seemed legitimately confused when I asked for an invoice I'm not even kidding.

是的，因為我說過，我已經說過上百次了，保修的好壞取決於是否願意履行保修，這只是一個事實，儘管在我索要發票時他顯得很困惑，但我並沒有開玩笑。

He's like, oh, yeah, I got he literally pulled out a pen and paper I just like wrote it to write me an invoice for the system.

他就說，哦，是的，我拿到了，他真的拿出了紙筆，我就像寫東西一樣，給我寫了一張系統發票。

Like it wasn't even itemized or anything.

就像它甚至沒有細目或任何東西。

I'm like You obviously have no system for this and this is like not a thing you do very clearly But frankly just based on the interaction my level of trust with him is extremely high and I believe that if that young man who won the system were to show up there and Like say hey, there's a problem with this.

我想，你顯然沒有這方面的系統，這不是你能做得很清楚的事情，但坦率地說，基於互動，我對他的信任度非常高，我相信，如果那個贏得系統的年輕人出現在那裡，就像說，嘿，這是有問題的。

I'm sure he would deal with it.

我相信他會處理好的。

Yeah, a hundred percent Chewy by the way said that he did follow through he posted on his Facebook Nice But he says I said, okay.

是的，百分之百 Chewy 順便說一句，他確實跟進了 他在他的 Facebook 上發佈了尼斯 但他說，我說，好吧。

Yeah Okay.

好吧

I hope you get some really great business from this.

我希望你能從中獲得一些真正的好生意。

He goes.

他走了

Thanks so much I hope it isn't too late to subscribe to you now Yeah, of course not have a good night.

非常感謝，希望現在訂閱還不晚 是的，當然不晚，祝您晚安。

He goes keep in touch if you need me.

如果你需要我，他會和你保持聯繫。

I'll be here Trust me, bro.

我會在這裡 相信我，兄弟

By the way, can I cut part of your video?

順便問一下，我能剪輯您的部分視頻嗎？

I was thinking to post on tik-tok.

我想在 tik-tok 上發帖。

So oh you guys have to go check out his tik-tok I guess he's he's gonna do that.

你們一定要去看看他的 "嘀嗒"，我想他會這麼做的。

I forgot about that.

我都忘了。

Yeah, what is it?

是啊，怎麼了？

I basically just said sure just add some of your own thoughts, you know reaction video go for it And then he goes yeah.

我基本上就是說，當然，你可以加入一些自己的想法，你知道的，反應視頻，然後他就說是的。

Hey the news wants to wants to put it in on TV.

嘿，新聞想在電視上播出。

Is that okay?

這樣可以嗎？

And I'm like, yeah sure so Anyway, I apologize to him after watching the video.

我想，是的，當然，總之，看完視頻後，我向他道了歉。

I'm grateful.

我很感激。

He agreed with me on how particular I am about the product I did agree and man, I don't think I Have built some good systems myself I've seen some really nice showcase builds at trade shows and stuff like that I've hung out where you could absolutely do trade show quality built I've hung out with very experienced modders, you know, like like Bob Rob from BS mods and stuff like that Did I say Bob and Rob?

他同意我的看法，認為我對產品很挑剔，我確實同意，而且，我不認為我自己建造了一些好的系統，我在貿易展之類的地方看到過一些非常漂亮的展示作品，在那裡你絕對可以建造出貿易展上的品質，我和非常有經驗的改裝者一起玩過，你知道，比如 BS mods 的鮑勃-羅布之類的人，我說鮑勃和羅布了嗎？

Bob and Rod from BS mods.

來自 BS mods 的 Bob 和 Rod。

I think that his bend Precision was on par or better than the best that I've ever seen And it was it's little details that you bend Crazy was peak probably the only person that I would say hands-down Could probably do better would be Charles from murder box And Charles would probably take four days To do the one bit no offense Charles if you're watching this, I love you, man, but you know that what I'm saying is true So I just I just have so much respect but yeah, he goes the pup the pipes must be neat and tidy Taiwanese media described to the video as an excellent representation of the country and its dedication to the world of technology and I mean, honestly speaking I It's not like I've ever actually lived in Taiwan, but I've definitely spent a not insignificant amount of time there like overall I've been there for probably like Somewhere between a month and a couple of months and I just have nothing negative to say I I just I love the people I I just love I love Taiwan.

我認為他的彎管精度和我見過的最好的人不相上下 甚至更勝一籌 他彎管時的小細節讓他的彎管精度達到了巔峰 我想說的是，唯一一個能做得比他更好的人 可能是殺人盒子裡的查爾斯臺灣媒體將這段視頻形容為臺灣的傑出代表 以及臺灣對科技世界的貢獻 老實說，我並沒有真正在臺灣生活過 但我在那裡待了不少時間 總體來說，我在那裡待了一個月到幾個月之間

It's a it's a beautiful country Super super awesome and It was because of my past experiences in Taiwan.

這是一個美麗的國家，超級棒，這是因為我過去在臺灣的經歷。

Do you remember the first year we went when we left a tip in that restaurant?

你還記得我們第一年去的時候，我們在那家餐廳留下的小費嗎？

You Yeah, and didn't didn't they try to give it back to you because they thought you forgot it or something They didn't just try to give it back The lady in this just hole-in-the-wall mom-and-pop Restaurant that we had no idea what it was and it was not a significant amount Honestly, if I'd realized how because there was my first year there and we had a lot going on if I'd realized how little I was Leaving this was our first foreign trip We weren't that used to currency conversion stuff and and and and like we know but like just weren't thinking about it if I'd realized how little I was leaving I would have left more like it was a it was an insignificant amount of money and Like really just like keep the change kind of thing like it wasn't it wasn't a big tip or anything But we just left it and we're like, okay.

他們沒有試著把錢還給你 因為他們以為你忘了什麼的 他們沒有試著把錢還給你如果我意識到這是我第一年出國 我們有很多事情要做 如果我意識到我留下的錢太少 這是我們第一次出國旅行 我們還不太習慣貨幣兌換的東西 我們知道 但我們沒有考慮到這一點好吧

Thanks.

謝謝。

Bye Dude she ran.

再見，督德，她跑了。

I don't know if you remember this, but she ran She ran a block out of her store to return it to us and would not keep it and Look, you know you encounter one nice person somewhere that doesn't tell you anything about about a culture, right?

我不知道你是否還記得這件事，但她跑出了她的商店一個街區，把它還給了我們，而且不願意留著它，聽著，你知道你在某個地方遇到了一個好人，但這並不能告訴你關於一種文化的任何事情，對嗎？

but it's just been so consistent and being in Taiwan, I By a little shop, right like if I'm trying to if I'm trying to set a video up for success That's not the narrative people want That's not the outcome that I that I want Of course, I would report honestly on whatever outcome I got But I like to I like to stack the deck in my favor right like if I have a pretty good idea that a Mega corporation that has a history of skeezy behavior is gonna rip me off Then I know what the framing for my video is gonna be and I know that people aren't gonna be too upset about that whereas if I'm in this mom-and-pop shop and I think they're probably gonna rip me off.

我在臺灣開了一家小店，如果我想讓一個視頻獲得成功 這不是人們想要的敘事方式，也不是我想要的結果 當然，不管結果如何，我都會如實報道、但我喜歡做對自己有利的事 比如我有個很好的主意 巨型公司會敲我竹槓 那我就知道我的視頻的框架會是什麼 我也知道人們不會對此太不滿

I don't I don't want to set that up.

我不想這麼做。

Yeah, there's a chance it can happen I think Keith could have given me a better deal on some things anyway There's a there's a chance that that can happen But that's not that's not the narrative that I would write for the video if if I could write it So with all my experience in Taiwan before I had so much confidence that I was gonna get an awesome system That I wrote that intro comparing it to main gear with a pretty good idea in my mind What the result was that they were gonna cream them.

是的，有可能發生這種情況，我認為基思本可以在某些方面給我更好的待遇，不管怎樣，有可能發生這種情況，但這不是我為視頻所寫的敘述，如果我能寫的話。

I've spent a little over three months in Taiwan.

我在臺灣待了三個多月。

I just did a quick little Notepad math calculation.

我剛在記事本上快速計算了一下。

I feel safer in Taiwan than here Taiwan is actually ranked the third safest country in the world It feels safe completely believe it anyone anyone old man young vulnerable lady I mean we've walked sometimes like an hour in a given direction just like going out for noodles through alleyways at 2 in the morning I never feel unsafe and it's not like they don't it's not like they don't have Societal challenges like anywhere.

我在臺灣比在這裡更有安全感 臺灣實際上是世界上排名第三的最安全的國家 它給人的感覺是安全的，完全相信它 任何人，老人、年輕人、易受傷害的女士 我的意思是，我們有時會朝一個方向走一個小時，就像在凌晨兩點出去吃麵，穿過小巷，我從來沒有感到不安全，這並不是說他們不安全，也不是說他們沒有社會挑戰，就像任何地方一樣。

It's not like they don't have people with substance abuse or mental health problems or whatever the case may be But I never felt unsafe there no, everyone feels like they're on the same team and everyone's like and sorry to my point like old men young women They're out all time stay a night Just just walk in and if you go down an alleyway and you end up just finding like cool coffee shops and stuff instead Of getting sketched out.

但我在那裡從未感到不安全，每個人都覺得自己是一夥的，而且每個人都很友善，就像老男人、年輕女人一樣，他們總是在外面過夜，只要走進去，如果你走到小巷子裡，就能找到很酷的咖啡館之類的地方，而不是被人 "畫 "出來。

So that's a whole thing.

所以，這是一個整體。

That's a whole thing Apparently they like work really hard to make it so that little shops make sense.

這是一個整體 顯然，他們非常努力地讓這些小店變得更有意義。

Yeah.

是啊

Yeah, it's it's Results in a really cool vibe because no part of the city really feels the same and you don't have like Oh this one store takes up like an entire city block It's like all these little ones and it in my opinion It results in shops like the one that you're talking about where you have this really specialized expertise Like I remember going through that mall in I think it was 2013 and finding like a store that just specialized in discs Nice like CDs and DVDs and whatever else nice like The heck and to be clear, it's not like they don't have chains I mean you can literally hawk a loogie from one family mart to the next family mart Yeah to the next family mart to the next one and you'll run out of loogies before you run out of family marts Same with 7-elevens and then they have another one.

是啊，這是個很酷的氛圍 因為這個城市的每個角落都不一樣 你不會覺得這一家店就佔了整個街區我的意思是你可以從一個家庭超市 到下一個家庭超市 再到下一個家庭超市 再到下一個家庭超市 從字面上就可以賣loogie

I don't remember the name of it.

我不記得名字了。

That's more common in the south They're just everywhere.

這在南方比較常見，到處都是。

Oh, which one?

哦，哪一個？

It's like a red and blue Logo whatever.

這就像紅藍 Logo 什麼的。

Yeah Anyway, it was really cool to see the news media pick up on it.

總之，看到新聞媒體報道這件事真的很酷。

I had a ton of fun making that video.

我在製作這段視頻時非常開心。

I Would love to do more stuff like that.

我很想做更多這樣的事情。

I just I need to find a way those ideas You can't flow them every single day Yeah, I know be sick if you could I Mean what that said, I think we've had some videos lately that kind of deserved a little bit more attention But didn't necessarily get it I think we've had we've had some we've definitely had some challenges kind of breaking out recently, but You know the way I see it is when everyone kind of you know clues back in and is like oh, yeah Let's like watch LTT again.
