[0.00 --> 6.32] Coming up on the show, I review Home Assistant's new dedicated hardware, Alex is literally buried
[6.32 --> 10.72] in computers, and our favorite Google Docs killer has a big update. I'm Chris.
[11.10 --> 13.20] And I'm Alex, and this is Self Hosted.
[14.44 --> 21.12] Oh, Chris, I am surrounded by computer parts. I mean, literally, I could open a shop right now.
[21.20 --> 25.14] I've got every single computer I own in pieces right now.
[25.14 --> 29.44] I feel your pain. I am surrounded in laptop parts at the moment.
[30.00 --> 32.16] Is that because of the XPS reviews you're doing?
[32.48 --> 36.90] I have a couple of machines in for review at the moment, plus a personal server project that I'm working on.
[37.00 --> 42.40] And then I was moving offices, and I had all of the different screws neatly organized for each laptop case.
[42.66 --> 48.16] And my daughter came in and said, what are these, Daddy? And mixed them.
[48.26 --> 49.24] Oh, no.
[50.38 --> 51.18] Mixed them all.
[52.92 --> 54.54] Screws are the worst as well.
[55.06 --> 55.30] Yeah.
[55.66 --> 57.12] Particularly laptop-sized ones.
[57.12 --> 60.10] What are you, what are you, deepen projects over there, several at a time?
[60.50 --> 61.68] Yeah, that's just it.
[61.80 --> 66.04] So I built a system around the UNAZ and QuickSync a little while ago.
