Welcome to Canada bitch, I still don’t know measurements cause we weigh ourselves in pounds, measure our height in feet, measure distance with meters, use milk bags in mL, weigh meat in oz, and only teach metric and don’t use imperial in school
When you realize they could have just chained the cables still rolled up on the spools and done it on one spot instead of running around, it would have been easier, less annoying to the neighbours and more flexible in terms of actual swapping devices/testing and of course, there would be fewer variables like someone randomly driving across the cables. HOWEVER, LTT always goes the extra mile (or 150m in this case) to make us entertained!
Honestly they could have started out with it working on a bench..because trouble shooting random problems is time wasting.. And then go full meme and try to make it work like in the video.
They didn't HAVE to do all this, they could've just done it in the office - they WANTED to do this and frankly I know the rest of you watching would've felt cheated if they did do this in the office. We need that excitement only LTT gives us by doing stupid over-convoluted things with the most simplest of ideas.
Well, no... Of course they didn't have to. But where would the fun be in a video where they plug in 6 spooled cables into hubs on a bench in the office? It would be over in 5 minutes and mega boring. If you break down most TV shows, they're mostly all just simple ideas with elaborate execution. It's what pulls in the views.
It was really interesting to watch. Big respesct for not giving up in not the best weather. And big respect to the editor for making us unsure what color is Colin's jacket ;D
I think it's less a a canada problem and more that his spools are from china and his tape measure is from the US. but it's not like you can blame him given that a tape measure that long made in any other country would rip apart after a few uses or be too heavy to carry.
I love that you could get the same information way easier by leaving them all spooled up and never leaving the desk at all, but still having the distance. But that's just not the LTT way, they didn't even test it like that, they dove in head first and LEARNED!
I feel bad for being that person, but if they're using optical cables it makes a difference if it's spooled or unspooled. A piece of optical fiber will have a higher latency and a higher loss if it is spooled up. But I doubt this would make a huge difference in that situation. In that case adding individual pieces of cables that have to convert from electrical to optical has a way bigger impact, than the length of optical fiber between the two converters. That's just a generalization though, it depends on the wavelength, the specific fiber and fiber mode configuration and on the power and speed of your converters. But when you have to worry about these things you're out of the, "gonna run a cable through the parking lot"-zone anyway.

"We're gonna have to get a bunch of electric scooters for people to move between premises" points at Linus's dead walkie battery 😂😂😂 On a plus note, what to do if that GPU gets a little toasty, put it on a T/bolt cable and stick it in the garage.
I did drafting in Van/North Van and the districts wanted different things in different standards on the same drawing. Often we’d do the work in mm but the materials coming in from USA were in imperial with weird tolerances. It was hell. Canadians are famously bi-lingual. They speak metric and freedum.
Fibre always blows my mind, a few years back I had to validate 100km capable TSOP SFPs that could do tx and Rx over a single fibre stand, it was crazy cool.
Literally took the time to see if someone else was going to point this out before commenting. The moment I saw that note, I paused the video... 1m ~ 3.3ft for anyone who sees this and wonders what the correct conversion is.
Like that stock exchange, that has spools of fiber optic cables (38 miles long in fact) in their datacenter, specifically to cause an exact amount of delay in trade communications, that can't be bypassed by those going through it. Tom Scott video about it: ua-cam.com/video/d8BcCLLX4N4/v-deo.html
Again: as we know from previous video on it, it uses single mode fibers. Cut this cable in half, get like 500-1000m of 12fiber single mode cable and a splicer, and try to splice it back to cover bigger distance! There will be no hubs on the way, so the latency will be smaller
@@ayrendraganas8686 i think most of the latency in the setup of the video comes from the Hubs, a single but longer fiber should have less latency, as signals are travelling at the speed of light, instead of being retransmitted every 50m.
@@gabrielenitti3243 i dont have access to the data layer specification but i suspect there are hard timing limitations from hub to hub. if you send a signal from both ends of a cable at the same time its gonna take a while for that signal to reach the other end. That time is often limited by the specification. in other words: it could very well be that without the hubs retiming your signals (even if that adds additional latency) you couldnt go further than 50-60m since you are limited by the 200000km/s speed of light within a fiber and a hard limit to propagation delay. honestly it may be worth taking a look at what the people producing the honey badger have in store since they have actual pcie 'networking' solutions
Something we can all agree is that the external GPU has been properly cooled throughout the whole video. I don't know why, but this kind of "silly" videos are so entertaining to watch...yet, they really test the hardware to the limit...given, it's a silly limit, but works. I get old TOP GEAR vibes with these "challenges"
Do both. And have bidirectional dishes on both. Then have redundancy. That'd be my plan anyway. They're starting up a tech lab thing, why tf would they want to deal with potential outages due to weather or other avoidable issues? The cost of another fiber line likely pales in comparison to their expected labor costs for the new hires.
Those use more powerful lasers and latency is less an issue. They also have inline repeaters I think. But yeah fibre can go pretty far if the end devices are well designed.
Linus Logic - Why stack the hubs on top of each other and link the cables still on the spool (because 50m of travel is still 50m of travel when your cable is 50m long) when you can take hundreds, if not thousands of dollars worth of electronics out in the wet.
When they tried to connect that GPU in such an ungodly manner, they made the multiverse collide and that's why the jacket color changed, those were actually multiple Colins.
I love how they could’ve just used the spools without unwinding them, but decided to do it anyways for the content And what did the editor smoke while editing this? Love the jacket hahahahaha
True, but then it'd be less funny and fewer people commenting about how they could've done it in the same building (showing engagement). It's all about keeping it interesting for the viewer and the youtube algorythm.
RIFT S CABLE IS FIBER OPTIC (check the official page), and so is quest 2 cable why not no cables, it's already possible with near ero latency (less than 2ms, which you can't notice) using wigig 1 and the new wigig 2 technology.
I love how instead of just leaving the cable on the spool, and testing that way (still the same wire distance) they still stretch the cable halfway around the world lol. That's dedication
0:15 Only 15 seconds in and you already got something wrong... 50 meters is not 984' feet, it is only 164' feet. Edit: Yes, 6 x 50 = 300 meters = 984' feet... But 50 meters still != 984' feet...
I was just watching an old Channel Super Fun video yesterday where Linus trashed their office with Luke as a prank before moving to their new office. That was when they were still working out of a house with only a handful of people working with them. It's amazing to see how far they have come to now have multiple office locations like this.
I don't know much about VFX and editing but seeing this jacket change colors without seeing any feathering masking or artifacts or anything just seamlessly change color like that trips me out too much for comfort because I know its a just an effect but it so perfect which makes it realistic and it hits that uncanny valley especially when he went into those trees

Yea they didn't have to move at all, could have just plugged them all inside
But that's no fun
They did it, so they could show new office space
Yeah but that wouldn’t make as good of a UA-cam video
i'm sure they did. it just wouldn't have made for good content. Showmanship.
12:09
almost a linus moment
Being neighbors to LMG must be an experience. Imagine you're a trucker in the Vancouver area and Linus just walks up to you about laying cable.
They’re in Surrey, this isn’t the weirdest thing they’ve seen.
*confused meme*
I laughed more at his jacked changing colors than the episode lol
Again: as we know from previous video on it, it uses single mode fibers. Cut this cable in half, get like 500-1000m of 12fiber single mode cable and a splicer, and try to splice it back to cover bigger distance! There will be no hubs on the way, so the latency will be smaller
pretty sure there are latency limitations for Thunderbolt that prevent that
@@ayrendraganas8686 i think most of the latency in the setup of the video comes from the Hubs, a single but longer fiber should have less latency, as signals are travelling at the speed of light, instead of being retransmitted every 50m.
@@gabrielenitti3243 i dont have access to the data layer specification but i suspect there are hard timing limitations from hub to hub. if you send a signal from both ends of a cable at the same time its gonna take a while for that signal to reach the other end. That time is often limited by the specification.
in other words: it could very well be that without the hubs retiming your signals (even if that adds additional latency) you couldnt go further than 50-60m since you are limited by the 200000km/s speed of light within a fiber and a hard limit to propagation delay.
honestly it may be worth taking a look at what the people producing the honey badger have in store since they have actual pcie 'networking' solutions
Something we can all agree is that the external GPU has been properly cooled throughout the whole video. I don't know why, but this kind of "silly" videos are so entertaining to watch...yet, they really test the hardware to the limit...given, it's a silly limit, but works. I get old TOP GEAR vibes with these "challenges"
This is the content I want from LTT
among us ll
@@darkflightdreamer1698 you sussy baka
I wanna see the network solution between the two buildings, namely putting a couple dishes up and sending it wireless.
Why pay for two leased lines?
Do both. And have bidirectional dishes on both. Then have redundancy. That'd be my plan anyway. They're starting up a tech lab thing, why tf would they want to deal with potential outages due to weather or other avoidable issues? The cost of another fiber line likely pales in comparison to their expected labor costs for the new hires.
As long as they have line of sight, that feels like an easy Ubiquiti sponsorship opportunity right there
0:15 Quick correction...50 meters is 164'. The 984' refers to the 6 spools they used (300 meters).
I came down here just to see if someone else caught that...
3:55 no one gonna talk about the door tho
My GPU is also...hopefully being manufactured...some distance away
"I guess there's a limit of how far we can go with fibres"
Undersea fibre optic cables: Watch Me
Under......sea?
Those use more powerful lasers and latency is less an issue. They also have inline repeaters I think. But yeah fibre can go pretty far if the end devices are well designed.
Fiber will never replace copper
Linus: "I'm pretty hopeful right now"
Computer: *blue screens*
Camera guy: "... Uh huh"
Linus Logic - Why stack the hubs on top of each other and link the cables still on the spool (because 50m of travel is still 50m of travel when your cable is 50m long) when you can take hundreds, if not thousands of dollars worth of electronics out in the wet.
It's only a 3080ti, an enclosure, and some very expensive thunderbolt docks
When they tried to connect that GPU in such an ungodly manner, they made the multiverse collide and that's why the jacket color changed, those were actually multiple Colins.
I love how they could’ve just used the spools without unwinding them, but decided to do it anyways for the content
And what did the editor smoke while editing this? Love the jacket hahahahaha
Kinda surprised they didn't try that first, but I guess then there wouldn't be a video at all. (unless it worked and the cars were the actual problem)
Absolutely love the kinds of shenanigans and experiments LTT gets to do!
the fact that you can fit a jackery power station ( 2:23 ) in the new ltt bag is actually insane!
Me: stuggles to run a short hidden ethernet cable in my house
Linus: Runs an cable 1000ft across two buildings while on a walk.
They could literally just connect the wires in a single room🤣🤣🤣love how they mustttt go the 1000FT
because being in the same room doesn't make it cool
Im glad someone noticed
first time?
Also this shows that they actually did it. Otherwise ppl would claim it's fake. Some probably still will though.
i was about to say the same lol...
They could simply connect the video card through the wires from the comfort of the room. The cable length would be the same.
Lol I was thinking the same. I guess they wanted to make the video more interesting
or u know they wanted to show us the new location like they said in the vid a million times
Same thoughts, it's not transmitting through signal lol. But where's the fun in that haha
But then they wouldn't have the suspense from vehicles driving over the cables potentially breaking everything.
True, but then it'd be less funny and fewer people commenting about how they could've done it in the same building (showing engagement). It's all about keeping it interesting for the viewer and the youtube algorythm.
them: "Hey look, it's Brian."
me: "The electrician."
This is what I hope VR cables become eventually
I mean the Rift S and Quest link cables are already fiber optic…
@@dalzy25 rift s isn't fiber optic
You want no cables in VR, so I'd hope to get faster wireless support rather than longer cables.
RIFT S CABLE IS FIBER OPTIC (check the official page), and so is quest 2 cable
why not no cables, it's already possible with near ero latency (less than 2ms, which you can't notice) using wigig 1 and the new wigig 2 technology.
@@dalzy25 tf are you talking about, the Q2 is definitely just a regular USB C data cable lmao
0:15 50 m isn't 984 feet; it's 164. Someone converted 300 m on accident.
"I actually have a good feeling about this" - Linus
As the computer blue screens and dies behind him
i had a HEARTY chuckle
I love how instead of just leaving the cable on the spool, and testing that way (still the same wire distance) they still stretch the cable halfway around the world lol. That's dedication
In all seriousness Linus, you're living my dreams.
Our dreams
@@therealb888 You are correct.
The fact that Brian the electrician is in this video means that there is going to be a good roasting video coming up soon
3:33 Colin's got that "jeb_" drip ˙ ͜ʟ˙
anyone else getting this recommended 2 years later?
0:15 Only 15 seconds in and you already got something wrong... 50 meters is not 984' feet, it is only 164' feet.
Edit: Yes, 6 x 50 = 300 meters = 984' feet... But 50 meters still != 984' feet...
50m is about 10 ar 15 for u freedom people
@@Nathansomething da wrld need 2 lern howz to maths proprly iz all...
"im actually pretty hopeful here" while simultaneously getting blue screened is a top 10 LTT moment
I feel like they could have just plugged in all the cables and hubs in the office. Physical distance is not really the test. It's cable length.
People like drama and story.
Lol.
Cause the average viewer of this channel can’t make that mental leap.
had to extend the video
I was just watching an old Channel Super Fun video yesterday where Linus trashed their office with Luke as a prank before moving to their new office. That was when they were still working out of a house with only a handful of people working with them. It's amazing to see how far they have come to now have multiple office locations like this.
Aprime had a field day with Colin's jacket! 😂
Editor singlehandedly made this a fun learning experience, love this channel
You guys do crazy really good
I don't know much about VFX and editing but seeing this jacket change colors without seeing any feathering masking or artifacts or anything just seamlessly change color like that trips me out too much for comfort because I know its a just an effect but it so perfect which makes it realistic and it hits that uncanny valley especially when he went into those trees
Linus: "There's a thunderbolt glory hole going on over here"
A new way to fight constipation
What’s the color of Colin’s jacket?
Editors: Yes
It's really crazy how much LTT continues to scale, good for you guys! :D
The jacket changing colors got me every time lmao.
This brings a whole new meaning to a “external GPU”. Pretty cool
The chaos of this video is great. It looked like a really fun experiment and I enjoyed Alexandre's editing, very colourful haha. It was also funny when both Linus and Colin were getting hit by the cable unspooling.
The video title is me checking the shipment status right after ordering a new GPU
That's what i thought the video was going to be, a polite Canadian siege of the local post office until someone found a missing box.
My GPU is $1000 away
