[2673.48 --> 2675.78] And they were, like, offering, like, all these colors of their cases.
[2675.78 --> 2681.16] Wouldn't you be better off just taking, like, the two boards that sell the vast majority of your volume,
[2681.26 --> 2684.86] the pro and the regular, and just doing, like, four different colors of them at this point?
[2685.44 --> 2688.94] I mean, people are buying motherboards more based on fashion decisions already.
[2689.02 --> 2690.96] And this was back, like, five, six, seven years ago.
[2691.32 --> 2691.48] Yeah.
[2691.48 --> 2695.76] People are buying motherboards more based on fashion decisions than based on performance and features anyway,
[2695.76 --> 2698.16] because there's no differentiating left anymore.
[2698.52 --> 2700.52] So why not just give the people what they want?
[2700.58 --> 2701.60] Give them a bunch of color options.
[2701.60 --> 2704.46] Because back then, if you wanted blue and black, you bought MSI.
[2704.88 --> 2707.08] If you wanted green and black, you bought Gigabyte.
[2708.00 --> 2711.64] DFI was dead already, so there was no orange and black or yellow and black.
[2711.98 --> 2716.12] And then ASUS was generally, like, kind of that weird—well, this was the gold era,
[2716.20 --> 2719.90] but before that it was, like, that weird powder blue, and then they had white, and then they also had black.
[2721.00 --> 2725.38] I mean, everyone kind of, like, moved past that, because they're like, yeah, we'll just RGB illuminate everything,
[2725.46 --> 2726.44] and then it's not really a problem.
[2726.44 --> 2727.44] But, uh—
[2727.44 --> 2730.82] Yeah, I kind of agree with a lot of that.
[2731.60 --> 2732.50] I'll do it at the right end.
[2736.50 --> 2742.70] And, like, one of the problems with this, too, is, like, I kind of understood for a while when they had skew differentials
[2742.70 --> 2747.10] between RGB and non-RGB, because you could legitimately save some money having non-RGB options.
[2747.40 --> 2748.40] And there's quite a few people.
[2748.70 --> 2751.54] I don't think it's—I actually can't even tell.
[2751.54 --> 2755.28] I don't necessarily think it's the majority right now, but I think there's a fair amount of people that don't really care.
[2755.58 --> 2755.76] Yeah.
[2756.06 --> 2757.42] And would rather not pay for it.
[2758.08 --> 2760.18] There's—that subset, I know it exists.
[2760.34 --> 2761.42] I don't think it's the majority.
[2761.42 --> 2761.58] Hard to quantify.
[2762.06 --> 2762.72] Yeah, yeah.
[2763.54 --> 2765.80] But, like, I understand those skews as well.
[2765.88 --> 2769.76] So, like, do you have those differentiators for these?
[2769.88 --> 2771.04] You already have, like, 40.
[2771.70 --> 2774.32] That's going to be a really hard thing to push now.
[2774.32 --> 2782.28] It's going to be really hard, and especially because unless you have, like, a reasonably deep understanding of PCB design,
[2782.48 --> 2791.46] you're not going to be able to tell the difference between Strix and ROG and gaming and whatever else.
[2792.60 --> 2799.72] So it's all just kind of sold on these sort of weird features, like ultra-durable, whatever that means.
[2800.28 --> 2801.10] Yeah, yeah.
[2801.10 --> 2801.38] Yeah.
[2802.44 --> 2811.88] Like, I honestly think NVIDIA is attacking their own base here because this is going to make buying an NVIDIA product really, really confusing.
[2812.60 --> 2814.70] Buying an AMD product, not that confusing.
[2814.98 --> 2819.12] And buying a console, the most understandable thing there is.
[2819.38 --> 2821.86] I'm not even, like—I know, I know, I'm sorry.
[2822.00 --> 2827.66] But, like, actually, a big part of the reason why people don't like buying computers is, like, I just want to play a freaking game.
[2828.32 --> 2830.66] Cross-platform play is much more popular these days.
[2831.10 --> 2833.22] Xbox is literally just a computer now.
[2833.40 --> 2834.78] You can use a keyboard and mouse on it.
[2838.28 --> 2842.78] If you're like, wow, I really don't have a ton of time to, like, research this stuff and build my own thing,
[2843.04 --> 2850.20] and now buying a graphics card from one brand, there's 40 different options for one type of GPU.
[2850.52 --> 2851.44] Like, what the heck?
[2852.00 --> 2853.60] Just get me whatever that'll work.
[2853.72 --> 2854.10] I don't know.
[2854.10 --> 2855.84] It's interesting.
[2856.52 --> 2861.22] I often allow myself to forget how overwhelming learning something all new can be.
[2861.60 --> 2861.64] Yeah.
[2861.64 --> 2866.26] So, I've recently been learning about DIY lithium batteries.
[2867.16 --> 2867.54] Why?
[2868.34 --> 2871.44] I wanted to soup up my kids' power wheels, but also I was just interested.
[2872.98 --> 2875.36] And so, I've learned a whole bunch of stuff.
[2875.90 --> 2877.16] It's better to spot weld.
[2877.74 --> 2879.48] It's—you lay them out like this.
[2879.86 --> 2884.04] You need to make sure that your bus bars run in such a configuration.
[2884.46 --> 2884.68] Have you been welding?
[2885.46 --> 2885.92] No.
[2886.52 --> 2886.82] Okay.
[2886.82 --> 2887.56] I will.
[2887.98 --> 2888.26] Oh.
[2888.48 --> 2894.22] I actually just got my roll of zinc, which I have to verify is actual zinc,
[2894.58 --> 2901.78] because a lot of the places on, like, AliExpress or whatever will sell you rolls of zinc that are actually just zinc-coated steel.
[2902.14 --> 2906.74] So, what you have to do is you have to rub it, put it in some salt water, make sure it doesn't rust, make sure it's actual zinc.
[2906.78 --> 2907.60] So, I've got that.
[2908.42 --> 2912.68] Anyway, so, the one that I showed, I think I sent it to you.
[2913.04 --> 2914.48] Did I send you my weird DIY battery?
[2914.66 --> 2914.80] Mm-hmm.
[2914.80 --> 2915.32] Yeah, okay.
[2915.32 --> 2917.64] So, that I made just soldering.
[2918.12 --> 2922.12] And soldering 18650 cells is not ideal, because heating them up is bad.
[2922.40 --> 2933.16] There's, like, this very thin membrane at the end of the cell that, if you damage—and it can be easily damaged by heat—can basically cause it to fail, which can be really bad, because it's a lithium battery.
[2933.74 --> 2933.84] Yeah.
[2934.64 --> 2938.14] So, the problem with my battery—well, there's a couple problems with my battery, anyway.
[2938.14 --> 2948.48] I just wanted to see if it would work as a pack for my RC car, because I wanted to go from 2S to 3S, which basically just spins the motor 50% faster.
[2949.56 --> 2950.54] It can wear out your gearbox.
[2950.86 --> 2952.46] It can wear out your motor, but I don't really care.
[2952.60 --> 2958.22] The motor's already kind of rat-bagged anyway, because I was driving around in the dirt, and I got some, like, sand stuck in it.
[2958.22 --> 2959.88] So, like, it sucks, and I'm going to have to replace it anyway.
[2959.96 --> 2960.26] Okay.
[2960.54 --> 2962.54] And the gearbox, I'm not too worried about 3S.
[2962.56 --> 2964.46] As long as you don't hit the throttle too hard, it's not a problem.
[2964.96 --> 2968.90] So, anyway, I just wanted to—just proof of concept, know if it worked.
[2968.90 --> 2980.08] So, I grabbed a power cord that I could just sacrifice that I didn't need, stripped it, grabbed the copper—and it's stranded copper wiring, which I didn't see coming, but I was pretty annoyed when I figured that out.
[2980.12 --> 2981.94] I wanted solid core, but whatever.
[2982.04 --> 2982.44] It doesn't matter.
[2982.48 --> 2982.76] It worked.
[2983.22 --> 2986.72] So, I grabbed this stranded copper wiring, and I made myself a battery pack out of it.
[2987.48 --> 2988.12] That's pretty awesome.
[2988.12 --> 2988.78] And I couldn't use my—
[2988.78 --> 2989.70] I didn't realize it was stranded.
[2990.20 --> 2993.30] I couldn't use my—ah, I forgot.
[2993.46 --> 2996.68] Vruzend, like, my Vruzend kit, because it would be too bulky to fit in the car.
