@@YeeYee.Living Indeed, it must be blue and not green, otherwise the plants and bushes (green leaves) would have been affected as well around 4:00. The sky (blue) is not much visible (cloudy), the objects are mostly grey, there's more opportunity for blue.
@@exxerain6931 That's true. When he went into the bush, watch closely and you'll see that the spool of wire fades from blue to green. My bet is on blue wire and blue jacket.
@@timfriday9106 bruh u cant rig a blue screen. Also it was already constantly blue screening. The only way you can fake it would be with a shortcut that takes you to the other blue screen not the sad face one....
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
I love how they could've just left the cables on the rolls and checked the performance on the floor lol. But them running the cables over the distance definitely gave a good sense of how far it actually is lol
If you watch veritasium's new video on flow of electrical energy, you will understand that the distance actually matters. Electrical Energy flow depends on the distance between the actual devices.
@@arnavsadhu His video was a little incomplete in that the energy flow across the air between is a tiny fraction of the energy flow around the wire. It wasn't as if 100% of the energy went to the light bulb straight away. There are many other problems with having badly shielded wires wrapped up, though, your signal integrity will be considerably worse.
@@arnavsadhu Also, even if it was copper, most high speed cables are balanced and shielded, meaning the signal should actually pass within the cable itself. If there was interference between rolls on the spool it'd probably skew the signal so the resulting signal would be worse than if it was unrolled.
@@Vanuma25 I think its green (thats the joke behind it.. greenscreen = any color the editor wants) Edit: on a second thought it might be blue cause thats what it was in some camera paning and etc but only Aprime knows...
My friend i have done some actual extensive research on your apnea. The jacket is 100% Blue. The jacket only changed color when there was no blue in the background. Every time Blue was present in the background no jacket rainbows. And Blue is a easy color to manipulate. Sleep well my friend😁
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.
This is how IEX (Investors Exchange) introduces latency into its trading platform with 38 mile coils of cable: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d8BcCLLX4N4.html
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.
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.
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
exactly xd it does not matter if they are 1000 feet away in real distance, or just plugged in in one building, the distance data would flow would be still the same - via all connected cables, but i guess linus wanted real exciting material.
@@adamstanisaw2892 they said it's fiber optic, which to my knowledge doesn't really get interference. Magnetic fields don't affect photons like they affect electrons.
@@carl9966 the best buy website stocks them from time to time, that's how I got mine in October. Though they force you to do in store pick up. Also, the fps in current games isn't as impressive as I was expecting tbh.
Technically speaking, they don't have to pull it 1000ft away from each other... They both could just stay at the same spot and continue extending the length after each roll of cable since the length of the cable are the deciding factor right?
"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.
Was about to comment the same thing lol There is absolutely no reason for them to roll out the cables, you don't have to worry about coils with optic fiber
@@tanmaypanadi1414 well adding uneccesary steps to an experiment isn't interesting either. I think you need to find something better to do if you thing a walking sequence is interesting
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.
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.
@@Andy.Bennett And Canadian, which is where they are (and every other English speaking country), so Colours is actually correct - as it always is in English. Variations in spelling, pronunciation and meaning occur in translation to USian. The biggest problem is that they still refer to it as English.
Linus started small from small videos explaining things on a green screen. To him literally living his dream. Testing out things that we never even thought possible 7 years ago. I've been following for 5 years and I always see Linus smile. Your endless contribution to the PC Community and your never ending answers to all of our wildest questions will never get old. Keep up the work Linus!
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: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d8BcCLLX4N4.html
At first glance I thought the guy's shirt at 5:44 said "Vancouver Sucks". Went back to see it was actually "Vancouver Canucks". We know know it really should have been "Vancouver Canucks Suck"
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.
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.
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.
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
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 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.
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.
They could but that's far less interesting and the viewers dont really get a prospective for how far 1000 feet actually is. Like yeah you hear 1000 feet and your like "wow that's far" but SEEING it is always best
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'm actually pretty hopeful right now" as the computer blue screens again right behind him. This is the kind of A+ shenanigans you can't get anywhere else.
--- To be fair though ( I suppose ), at least this was a more concrete and visual way of showing the whole physical-length of this project. Like as in actually seeing the hundreds of metres layed down on down and buildings as visual-evidence instead of just having them spooled next to each other ( alongside experimenting the durability "in the wild" too ). ---
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.
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
