He "had" to "upgrade" because his networking situation is so cluttered that his wireless speakers wouldn't work. I would love to see a scan of airspace in his house with those 200 "smart" switches and other "smart" devices. He apparently designed his tv area to have a soundbar, but brushed off why he chose not to go that route.
They're probably all using the same few wifi bands.
We see how jake handles the server shit, you think he's gonna have the IoT network properly configured? I hate IoT, only IoT device I have is my kasa smart strip because its a good strip and I got it on sale.
CS2 has a default FPS cap of 400 that you have to increase via console commands rather than directly through the settings and the top several CPUs were all hitting that and had very similar FPS at around 390-395. It got caught pretty much immediately after it went live and they were going to take it down and redo it but people said they should leave it up until the new one was done because aside from those top 3-4 CPUs it still had a lot of useful information.
His need for excess is going to be the death of him; and with how much work he's had done on his house, he would've saved a lot of time, money, and stress by sitting down with his wife, deciding what to do with every room, then fucking having it done with all the contractor work. Though to be fair, it's his fault not realizing that having more wireless traffic than an International Airport in his house would lead to massive signal loss and render shit inoperable. But if you're gonna spend a lot of money to do shit to a house you're not even moved into yet; choose wired, and get them ran through the walls, especially before you have the hired help paint over them, it's that fucking simple.
You seriously think they're working for free?
Then he wouldn't be able to film and monetize it.
A lot of reasons.
Paid or not, taking time to work on your bosses home for "work" is not a good look. Toss the employees who live in tiny shitty apartments a sponsored "$5k upgrade", then go do $50,000 of work on your bosses house. Did jake and the other employees sign up to make tech videos or film canadian this old house?
Clarification please.
Its an official roles thing. If I hire someone as a video editor, and then they get injured doing electrical contracting that I directed them to do, then its generally the employers fault in its entirety, so open to legal action - Even if the employee feels confident about it, the employer is taking someone without relevant experience and credentials to do a potentially dangerous thing. And you cannot effectively separate "genuine willingness to branch out" from "Felt pressure to do so to keep job" when it comes to these things.
Electricians, painters, just about everyone Linus hires he ends up shitting on because something isn't done right/to his specifications... and part of getting your house worked on is being there to direct / solve problems that pop up, like, "We don't have enough tile to do the whole floor, and the store says it's not coming in till next week." Do you tell them to wait, or tile as much as you can and just drop the cabinets on exposed floor/foundation? Ideally you'd do the former and this may be a bad example, but the point is, with as much as he bitches, he nor Yvonne did quality assurance on the work until the cameras were rolling.
More like the sponsor who was providing us with today's video subject didn't send us enough so we have to wait for them to send us more free shit.
As someone who worked a lot on construction shops, it's usually the later, but you don't do like Linus where he puts things there, you let the area open and without anything on it until is done.
People don’t understand how well planned a good construction project is and think it’s just gangs of fat hairy guys turning up when they want.
