Fun fact about that Coral ai board! After running about 4 trillion operations it calculated that the human eye can only see 30fps at 240p, and decided to give you only that much when gaming. The other 370fps on the chip was used to make the cpu fan spin 370 times a second! Technology is amazing 👏 🤩

This is absolutely fascinating. Again and again you encounter a technical problem that 99% of people would look at and say "welp, it's broken/doesnt work" and end things there. But you go as far as to modify the very hardware of the device and even make NEW hardware from scratch to connect things that were not intended to be connectable.

9:00 For anybody wondering, that's a TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) made by Google. A TPU is basically a GPU without any graphics rendering hardware made specifically for neural network and AI training. They are designed for more efficient low precision calculation without the hardware rendering, basically a GPU without any video output and mainly floating point calculations. It's used for noise cancelling, background replacement and face detection on Google Meet. edit: thanks for all the comments telling me more about it!
The TPU in this case is simply for audio processing. Google Meet supports about 40 concurrent audio channels, which would lead to a lot of lag if processed lineary by a simple CPU. For gaming purposes i would recommend removing that card, because it is mostly useless and takes up to 2 PCIe lanes, what might influence the speed of other devices.
Just an FYI, I'm pretty sure adding another stick would automatically throw itself into dual channel mode, that would SIGNIFICANTLY improve IGPU performance on Intel's IGP's and on Windows, the more RAM you have the more memory it allocates to your IGP, so another 16GB stick (If supported) will give you dual channel performance gains PLUS double the amount of virtual memory for the IGP.

In case anyone is wondering, SPI(Serial Peripheral Interface) is a serial communication protocol that you use for communicating between different IC chips. Probably in this case the SPI was being used to write the firmware to the flash chip. The wp pin stands for write protect.

Actually, you can do something. Give up the M.2 drive (use SATA or USB Storage), cut a little hole and install M.2 to Oculink and then attach a decent GPU. The iGPU is really bad for gaming, but other than that - it should be a nice and cheap machine for some gaming :)
I like that you first chosed the "irreversible damage" way instead of buying a standalone plug and make your own cable, the fact that this thing is built to be damaged if you try to open it means it doesn't deserve to not be damaged
I suppose my one big question would be how it preforms in a Steamlink capacity. The hardware was specifically for streaming video over long distances so I would think that it might actually be really good on the video decoding side of things... if SteamOS was able to use any of the special hardware anyway.
With the upgraded ram this is pretty much my current computer but with an extra little bit for machine learning. The way it ran wasn't surprising to say the least, lol; the only thing you missed is scrounging through game files for editable settings files with more options and mods to decrease visual clutter

I can’t believe he took a business-oriented machine that barely has documentation, no one has ever done mods to it before, and went in half blind to what’s happening and got it to be a gaming rig. With the lack of documentation, the amount of damage you done is pretty impressive, it isn’t too much besides the rubber and adhesive
Something I’ve noticed is that if one pin powers PoE, it would make sense to be on the ethernet side of the board. And you can see some thicc separation for the left side of the power plug. That would’ve resuced the number of likely 19v pins to 2, and checking for ground explicitly is usually a good idea.
spoilers but checking the manual, they're all POE outputs: Ethernet connector (for connecting Touch Controller in large and medium room) with 15 W POE Ethernet connector (for connecting Camera) with 15 W POE Ethernet connector with 15 W POE Ethernet connector (for connecting Smart Audio Bar) with 100 W POE

Honestly this would make a great streaming box, you could stream your games to your TV from your PC as if it were one of those steam boxes from back in the day.
Randomly found this channel, but will stay for future (and past) projects! :D Also little fun fact: you would probably get a couple more FPS if you used dual channel ram, as the iGPU heavily depends on fast and low latency RAM.
With those ethernet ports, assuming they're decent speeds, you could use it as a OPNSense or pfSense router. With the low power laptop chip, it could actually out perform sff PC's for that purpose.

That would’ve resuced the number of likely 19v pins to 2, and checking for ground explicitly is usually a good idea.
Yeah I was a little surprised by that miss. No one's grounding directly to the cable shield in a non-coax cable.
spoilers but checking the manual, they're all POE outputs:
Ethernet connector (for connecting Touch Controller in large and medium room) with 15 W POE
Ethernet connector (for connecting Camera) with 15 W POE
Ethernet connector with 15 W POE
Ethernet connector (for connecting Smart Audio Bar) with 100 W POE
This is genuinely a better gaming experience than my old laptop that I was using over the quarantine
Dang thats crazy your subs have over doubled in only 4 months! i just subbed and im loving the channel! def binging all your videos lmao
I get "Budget Steve-From-Gamers-Nexus" vibes from your appearance, and approach to tech, and it cracks me up. Thanks for the content! 😄
I have no idea how your channel was recommended to me, but it's amazing. I love your process and sense of humor!
seeing someone else suffer after suffering myself feels oddly comforting. like I wasn't alone going insane trying to diagnose a pc issue that takes days to figure out
All these little sounds from the spy and scout tickle the funny part of my brain.
I was expecting this design to broadcast your game around the house. I did not expect it to run Doom smoothly, not to mention any aaa game at 10+ fps. wow good job
10:54 that ElectroBoom scene got me rolling 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Same here😂😂😂
This is one of your best videos yet! This is the funniest tech video I've seen in months. Well done. You're great at casual comedic tech repair. Looking forward to more videos.
🎉😂 the electric atmospheric gas interaction reaction with the guys face is cinematic
I love how you measured the battery. The numbers imprinted would have told you. 1220 means 12 mm diagonal, 20 mm height
That pattern of the bottom of the silicone pad is from the machining marks of the mold used to make it. They generally don't worry about machining marks on parts you're not supposed to be able to see
That gamer move, was the answer to issues I've been having since before Christmas. I couldn't get the HW unlock either by removing the screw. WP was always "Enabled". The happiness when I saw the green "Disabled". Thanks so much. I'm now able to repurpose old out of date chromebooks with Flex, giving some devices a new lease on life.
powerful gamer move
Kelly coming in with GAMER MOVES.
I like this kind of experiemental DIY to make it all work. And you are right, that GTA footage of car driving with that sort of resolution brought back a lot of memories of me trying to run NFS MostWanted on my family's old Pentium 4 CPU at 480p and getting 25-30 fps
Honestly this would make a great streaming box, you could stream your games to your TV from your PC as if it were one of those steam boxes from back in the day.
I am 3 minutes into this video and subscribing immediately. Your sense of humor and video style is right up my alley
First time seeing a video from you and I just like the little details added from valve games
Randomly found this channel, but will stay for future (and past) projects! :D
Also little fun fact: you would probably get a couple more FPS if you used dual channel ram, as the iGPU heavily depends on fast and low latency RAM.

Let's just salute this man for his great work
It is very refreshing to see someone struggle the same amount that i do when working on a project
With those ethernet ports, assuming they're decent speeds, you could use it as a OPNSense or pfSense router. With the low power laptop chip, it could actually out perform sff PC's for that purpose.
my first thought
and that AI chip could prob be used for a cctv setup - network and security in one
That's probably the best use of this device. It's too slow for normal things.
@@quademasters249 i have a same cpu in my laptop and it performs way better. I guess the cooling in that thing is not that great and cpu is locked on low speed for better thermals
@@alexandr_guluta Could be I'm just spoiled.
Met elly irl at the 37c3, she's really cool, and also had a talk about hacking chromebooks there. Really neat
10 out of 10, great content to watch right after a mental breakdown 👍
Can’t wait for this one

13:18 took me back dude wow! Havent heard that bgm since i was playing Sonic Spinball on Sega Genesis
Love how you can know this dude knows TF2 because there are so many sound effects and memes about the game in the video lmao
I’m watching this with a jank pair of earbuds that repeatedly cut out and make this video nearly impossible to watch. That feels like the Bringus way!
Content like this makes me feel better when I’m struggling with bios kerfuffle

I dont know much about whats going on when it starts getting technical and electrical but what I know is that when you go on a terribly named Discord server for answers and you see a meme of Limmy (22:50), you know these are your people.

And that was the moment i subscribed
I Fucking Love your content-> Video, Editing, Electronics, pursuing Knowledge & know how the f**k things works,
if stuff not work/Available/expensive then Make your Own !....
I literally waiting for this kind of video for years - because it's all happening with me all the time when I try something new !
I just wanna say one line
LOVE YOU BROTHER 🫰🫶

I love this series so much
just seeing all these devices being forced to be gaming PC's
none of them want it
but that was never part of the equation
Thank you for showing off my batarong Chromebook I love you

31:35 DOOM has always been stupid optimized and playable.
That was actually crazy how good it was
Discord and making fixes to my unruly ideas that usually are closer to technomancy are peak this video is on a whole other level
15:46 glad to see you're supporting the Trans computer movements. Theyre so brave for finding their true selves.
18:23 I thought that was gonna be a sarcastic joke
320p allowed me to play modded fallout 4 on a 2013 MacBook Air. We love small resolutions. We make it work 27:42
the gta V pc port is so amazingly optimized. the fact that gta v released at 30 fps and you got it to run at 30 fps at all on the google meet is a testament to how good it is.
Imagine asking your teammate in CS2, “What system are you using?” and they tell you that they’re playing on the Google Meet Conference Computer
22:15 I use this exact model actually! I've gotten much better performance after going through the mrchromebox setup, even got some simpler games running on it
what model is it?
