What do you do here?
Here's a marine.
That was a helicopter pilot.
Oh yeah, he flew too.
Yeah.
The naughty angel was the name of this helicopter.
But yeah, he flew for four years.
Right, tained here on the disc is every part needed to build what can only be called the most overkill DDR2 gaming PC because you lot have been asking me, can you still get by with DDR2?
So I've took it upon myself.
To source piles upon piles upon piles of things to build a DDR2 game PC.
We've got graphics cards, we've got boxes of features, we've got USB 3, we've got motherboards, we've got whatever this is.
I don't know, I put it with the rest of the other bits.
But this is going to be the overkill DDR2 computer.
And the basis of this very build is contained here, which is, and this took me a while to find, possibly the best DDR2 motherboard money can buy.
I had to import this from Hungary.
Starting things off, there's a sound card in here, we might need that.
Inside here is what really matters.
This is a DDR2 motherboard, and I've got it maxed out with crucial 800 MHz DDR2.
Now, this RAM in itself is quite interesting because these sticks, and this is the value proposition, these are one pound a pop.
So you can max out a motherboard like this for four pounds.
I picked them all up from China, and they are predominantly Heinx sticks.
Because it turns out if you order these straight from China, they are all crucial branded, but only three of them are Heinriks.
One of these is a.
There it is.
One of these is a LED max.
which I haven't heard of in years, but it shouldn't make too much of a difference.
So go back to the point at hand, this motherboard.
This is the Asus Maximus Formula 2, which is really modern looking, but is in reality a 20-year-old motherboard?
Maxing out with 8GB of DDR2, unless you come across the
Very rare 4GB sticks.
And the version we've got here comes with a core 2 quad installed.
That's going in the bin.
That was literally just what the seller included.
This was stupidly expensive and imported from Hungary.
But let's just double check this all works.
So this is two.
And this will be the basis of our system.
And let me show you how cool this is.
Turn that on.
We've got the lights on a 20-year-old motherboard.
And watch this.
How cool is that!
That is the start screen on a 20-year-old motherboard.
But the thing is, we are gonna use the core 2 quad this came with that.
There's nothing very overkill about the Q8200, which was more or less a socket protector.
Oh no.
We're using something that is quite powerful, and it's probably gonna get a hell of a lot more powerful once we've tried overclocking.
But our processor of choice today is the frankly legendary Intel Xeon X5460.
Four cores, four threads.
Oh, and we can really push the gigahertz up on.
This setup today.
But I haven't tested it yet in this board, so we need to double check that this actually does function.
And I have a stop button here.
How cool.
Out with the old.
And inside we put the once $1,200 Intel Xeon.
But something tells me this is gonna throw a microcode error.
Because despite being a very high-end board, despite using 8 gigs of DDR2, despite being essentially modern in its feature sets, it probably doesn't understand what an Intel Xeon is.
Yes, BIOS update recommended to unleash the full power of this CPU.
Please do something.
So we need to flash a BIOS.
Which on a motherboard I've had to import from another country seems scary.
So I'm gonna go get some microcode ready.
We're gonna try flashing it.
So that actually understands what an Intel Xeon is.
This will just straight up crash.
I plug it in.
But without the microcode, Windows 10, Windows 11, th they they they they crash.
Linux crashes.
Windows 8 works.
No, I think it did just
Straight up die.
So contained on here, what I've done is I've taken the latest BIOS for this motherboard, and I've injected the micro code for a 771 Xeon.
Now, these are just cheap Chinese USBs, but they work really well for flashing BIOSes.
So in theory, this goes in here.
Loads of features.
Every feature you could want is on here.
So we can push this quite far.
I really don't want to do this.
This Maximus ROM should work.
Pushing enter scares me.
This board costs me so much.
Now we pray.
Probably shouldn't be using the R7250 that we flashed a custom BIOS onto for this as well.
But it hasn't died yet.
It takes such a long time on these boards, it really does scare you.
And in theory, this will now just boot up and launch to Windows 10 IoT.
Low default values, it's it's not giving us a microcode warning.
It's booting.
There's still a chance of crash.
Well, that's step one done.
We actually have the Intel Xeon X5460.
It's only running at stock settings, only running at 3.
16 GHz.
But it's running on the Formula 2 board, and it has 8GB of DDR2 memory, which is only running at 666 megahertz at the moment, which is we can push that up plenty.
And if we stress this, look at that score.
Just straight out of the box.
And that's not even with a proper cooler, that is just running with a block of aluminium.
There's gonna be some power in this.
But we're talking nearly 20-year-old components.
This is how ridiculous this is.
And it's still climbing, it's still getting higher.
So we've established this does actually function.
To be fair, it got 20.
Does temporarily quick and doesn't overheat even with this little bit of aluminium.
But we don't want to use a little bit of aluminium.
Unfortunately, our good friends in China have heard our woes, and they fully understand that people want to water cool their 775 setups.
So I've ordered the optional 775 mounting kits for a Tusa water cooler.
I love that.
I really love these little water cooling kits.
I don't get any sponsorship money or anything, but they're so nifty.
Look at it.
It's it's tiny.
This means big overclocks.
So let's
See how this even fits together.
You might be able to just about make it out, but the kit it comes with only goes up to 1155.
But their optional mounting kit goes all the way back to LGA775.
On a brand new kit that costs about 20 quid.
this is an ATP additional extra.
When I said we were doing overkill DDR2, I meant it.
I'm not actually gonna use that much thermal paste, but I'm just gonna spread it myself.
I don't usually care much for this, but seeing as I've got the little finger Johnny, we might as well go for it.
I mean no wrong, this is not the nicest fit in the world.
At least they sell an adapter plate that does appear to at least be compatible with 775.
So I haven't connected up a fan yet, but I have connected up the units.
And theoretically, this will now be water cooled.
Pumps kicked in.
Oh, wait, I wonder if it's not gonna turn on because there's no CPU fan detected.
Do you work now?
Okay, it's on.
Yeah, it was it wanted the CPU fan.
It wasn't detecting it.
Water cooling.
That is working.
I can feel the heat coming through.
We have water cooled LGA775 running a Zeol on an overkill board.
It works.
Thank you, Tusa, for still selling a kit that still supports this.
It is a little bit of a janky fit, especially on that corner there.
But I can't complain, because it is working.
I can feel the heat coming through.
Oh, that's so cool.
That is so cool.
Miraculously, it's actually beginning to look almost a bit modern, at least with a water cooling block.
Attached to it.
But there's gotta be something we can do about this RAM.
Because yes, it's DDR2, but yeah, found DDR2 is getting to the point where it's hard to find working and is actually quite expensive.
So if you want to go with the cheaper option, which is using actual crucial sticks that are cheap but actually work, I I bought these.
These were like a couple of quid from China, and they caught they What was it what was it on them?
these are by the lovely company Water Cube.
It's not water cooling for RAM, trust me.
These are little
Kits that are about two pound apart with heat spreaders to make DDR2 look modern.
so yes, these are RGB.
They they actually do serve a thermal function.
They are heat sinks, so could theoretically do something, but I don't know how they go together.
Maybe we can overclock memory.
Maybe we can get some speedy RAM out of our DDR2.
Oh, this is so chaotic.
But everyone was asking for this, so I thought we'd take it to the extreme.
Right.
Instructions.
The Eva.
Pour on RAM chips.
The high RAM with chips on both sides.
Please separately paste two thermal pastes on two aluminium plates and ensure the memory chips are in contact with the plates.
Okay, we can do that.
We can reuse these.
Okay, let's take our crucial sticker off.
Ah it's coming together.
It's coming together.
You know what?
That actually looks legit.
I'm I'm a cheaper surprise.
I mean, put the little crucial sticker on it.
That's DDR2.
does it
Actually still fit.
Look at that!
Right, I'm gonna go spend the next hour building three more of these.
It looks downright questionable, but I kinda love how this is the epitome of tacky modern.
You're building a gaming computer and then there's just overkills 775 board.
That's good RAM under there, and these are actually not bad heat spreader designs.
Until you look at the massive cables that comes out of our RAM.
Yeah, we'll do something about that.
but that's the next problem.
This is just a board on a box.
we're meant to be building a gaming computer.
For the power supply, I'm just gonna nick this RM750 that I've got on the old mesh PC.
Don't worry, I've got a replacement one to go in here.
But this does leave us with an important question, because that's nearly an Intelli computer, but there's no case and there's no graphics card.
So why don't we start with the case?
Turns out, for about 30 quid from China.
Yeah, full ATX case.
It took two months to arrive.
I'm assuming it was stuck in the Strait of Hormuz for a couple of months because there was just no tracking updates at all to the stage where I thought this is probably a scam, but no.
Full ATX case, 30 quid.
It could be terrible.
It actually looks really nice.
If you remember the DDR5 gaming computer we built not too long ago, this is just a ripoff of that Corsair case.
But where are
I got that one cheap through a refurb clearance.
This is just 30 quid.
It's very light.
It does have fans in the bottom.
Oh, they're not branded WJ Coulman.
And they're all slightly yellow.
No, but.
See, Corsair, they're giving me what, two fans?
WJ Coulman, I'm on my four.
Unfortunately, I have noticed a slight bit of damage.
One of the legs, and actually the bottom of the case is bent, but.
Yeah.
Looks good enough now.
Pretty cool.
That has taken forever.
But there is now a DDR2 gaming computer.
Now there are a couple of things we will have to do.
Do still.
We need to upgrade the graphics card.
But for the sake of testing, I've just whacked in the R7250.
I've mounted the SSDs down the bottom here, just so I can quickly need to change operating system, which is more of just a me decision.
This case ain't bad.
It is very much a Corsair clone, but without the quality.
It kind of does the job for 30 quid.
It looks proper smart.
I don't think if you looked at that, you'd think it's a DDR2 gaming PC.
And in theory, it'll look even better, or at least more modern, once we push the on button.
Now the on button doesn't work.
Ah.
Wasn't turned on.
And in theory, it'll now work.
Look at that.
Peak tacky.
I can see it's posting, but we have the all-in-one cooler working.
We have all the fans.
There is so much airflow in here.
Oh, that's great.
The RGB RGB DDL2.
Which actually does work.
If you don't look closely, it looks good.
Just don't go looking closely because
There's a Molex connector down here for the USB 3.
I put a Wi-Fi adapter in here because otherwise it doesn't come with a blanking plate for this part.
There are lots of interesting decisions being made, but let's make sure it actually does still post and turn on.
Theoretically, this could have already booted up to Windows 10.
do the front USBs work?
I'm gonna go with USB 3.
Because I've added USB 3 down here.
With a 5-pound card frit from China.
Just so you can see I'm not making it up.
That's a USB 3 port.
Lots of planning went into this.
Motherboard temperatures are golden.
They are in and around 30 degrees.
CPU's pulling 10 watts of power and is running at 20 degrees apparently.
It's all well and good this system's working, but there's clearly a limit to this.
This has got a water cooled Xeon that used to cost £1200.
It's got RGB DDR2, it's got Wi-Fi, it's got a sound card, it's got USB 3, it's running on an SSD, it's doing loads of things.
But that ain't a real graphics card.
So you can't have a gaming piece.
At least stock one this capable and run the R7250.
So in here is our new graphics card.
And it's something special.
This came up for a bargain price over on CEX.
Because you don't want to get something too modern, because let's be honest, it's not gonna be handling ray tracing.
Upscalers are gonna give us more CPU overheads.
We want something that's just stupidly powerful on an old system.
Here it is.
Oh yeah!
That's right.
Paired with this computer, we have the stupid NVIDIA Titan V.
I have wanted to own one of these for a while.
This thing has, is it 12 gigs of HBM memory?
Look, doesn't that look amazing?
It's gold!
The card's bloody gold!
But we have some issues to sort out.
Namely PCI Express bandwidth.
So we lift up our little panel here, remove our little testing R7250, which has done its purpose.
You may now see my conundrum.
Now we need to move our USB 3 adapter to one of these PCIe one slots.
The problem is, this is a dual slot graphics card.
Will just about fit, but obscures one of our ports.
It's gonna be a nightmare.
I'm thinking Wi-Fi can go.
We don't necessarily need Wi-Fi.
It does work, but it can go.
We need to reroute cables.
Which turns out is a monumental pain when nothing you're using.
Was designed to work with this setup.
This needs to stretch up to the top slot.
Put a blanking plate there.
We'll just leave that separate and off to the side.
I don't think there's any chance.
I think I tried to stretch it, but there's not enough.
We can just get an extension cake for that though.
So we'll tuck that out of the way for now.
That means that there's nothing stealing bandwidth down here.
That should, in theory, work.
I think you love old computers.
The chipset says this is fine.
The problem is if we touch the bottom PCIe 16-time slots, the chipset says no, I run at half speed.
Which for graphics cards at the time was fine.
For a Titan V no.
And then in should theoretically go our Titan V graphics card.
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho.
Peel that.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you the ultimate DDR2 gaming PC.
A bit anticlimactic, the DDR2.
Theoretically, this will control the ket the colours.
I spent a long time on wiring, so the reason it's got RGB support is because it's running off a separate microcontroller.
Which means that theoretically this will make it do stupid stuff.
Oh, blue.
Green or green's pretty cool.
Red.
And we can go through different modes.
We can have strobing, which looks hideous.
That looks awful.
That's not too hateful.
You know, I think I just liked the
The the the purple it was on.
That looked that looked quite nice.
Why have I got no USB?
Where's my USB 3?
It's set up.
I'm just gonna double check the BIOS real quick.
I can't believe we've got Titan V in here, and I'm worried about USB 3.
Great adapter, it is built woefully, so I need to get soldering again and fix this.
I love repairing cheap Tat RallyExpress.
Okay, that's now working again.
I've got the adapter in the USB 3 port.
That's working.
Great adapters?
Very cheap, very badly built.
So it's now the following day because it was a long day getting this all to work together, given it's in the so many cables and lots of routing and bits and pieces.
But now, whenever we go to turn it on, our DDR2 gaming PC does actually work.
And no one has been able to tell this thing is using 20-year-old DDR2.
But given how much frustration there was with getting USB 3 to work, I don't think I focused enough on the fact that this thing has a Titan V.
Graphics card.
I mean, we still need to install drivers, but that's probably the best graphics card I've ever owned.
It doesn't have any RTX features or anything like that.
It is just sheer NVIDIA power from an era that doesn't exist anymore.
Right, Ethernet works, but if we go to NVIDIA, the CPU is working hard, but it is at stock speeds.
We've got plenty of RAM left over.
It is working.
Yeah, there's gonna be no issues with any of this staying cool.
We are getting a lot of airflow through here.
So, just what are the specs of this Titan V?
Fairly expensive.
Excessive for the size of the system, but we can finally confirm our bus interface is running at maximum speed.
PCR Express 2.
0 at 16 times, which is good.
As soon as there's load on it, it does bump up to full speed.
Yeah, maxing out Valley is benchmarks.
Starting off the benchmarks, we have the latest and greatest release of GTA 5 with the enhanced edition, which we are running with high and ultra settings, so I did drop a couple of settings back down to high rather than ultra, which just eased some load on the processor.
And we are running
At an internal resolution of 4k, because the graphics card was just hanging back and doing absolutely nothing, and it made zero change to the framerate.
We got an average of 36 frames per second, 1% lows down to 18, but to cure those 1% lows, I did go ahead and cap our framerate at 30 frames per second, which resulted in a miraculous 30fps average, with 1% lows now down at 28 fps.
It very rarely dropped a single frame.
So GTA 5 Enhanced Edition, provided you don't mind playing.
Playing at 30 frames per second actually worked fine on our DDR2 PC, and we could actually up the resolution more if we really wanted to, but frankly, this is as far as we could go with just standard internal scaling options.
In terms of the world of GTA Online Enhanced, which is more CPU bound and a lot more memory bound, especially in the enhanced edition, which is utilizing DirectX12, we saw our average did stay at 30 frames per second, but 1% lows were now down at 24 FPS.
So GTA Online is still playable, but
Frame time.
Now, unfortunately, despite having a lot of modern instruction sets, Counter Strike 2 does require SSE 4.
2, which we don't have, we only have SSE 4.
1, which means we are back to CSGO if you want to play any form of Counter-Strike.
Still, it's back on Steam, it's available as a download, and it is very popular given that it's now back available just as an independent download.
So if you join a normal competitive game, how exactly will it run on your ultimate DDR2 gaming PC?
Well, fortunately,
Being based on the original release of the source engine, it's not really that memory dependent.
We were pretty much just seeing the raw performance of the CPU itself, which when it's clocked right up to 4 GHz, people used to do this for budget builds back in the day.
You could just get one of these, clock it up, and boom, you can play CSGO with your mates.
We saw 112 FPS on average, with Onecent Lowe's down to 88 frames per second.
Now, of course, CSGO, now that a lot of it is just independent hosting, means that when you join the casual servers, like a lot of people probably would do.
It's a bit more intensive than it used to be back in the day, with lots of things flying around, people have got things following them, there's lots of other effects going on, and there's a lot more players playing it.
But still, we did return 74 frames per second here, with 1% lows down to 51, which didn't feel quite as smooth as a normal competitive match, but still worked absolutely fine.
It's worth noting we were running competitive settings, which is everything on low, and then of course high shadows, which is how people used to play this back in the day.
But we already saw earlier, thanks to Jimmy White and his cuball 2 disc, if you eventually wait long enough, Oblivion Remastered may actually compile shaders and launch on this DDR2 system.
So I went ahead and I did a bit of tweaking just to see if we could eke out a playable frame rate.
But with low settings, no lumen, and a few other tweaks made to the engine.
With 1% lows down to 22.
Now it's worth noting, after doing the tweaks to the Ion I file and getting rid of Lumen, we did actually remove a lot of the stuttering.
So our 1% lows were actually not too bad, but we just didn't have enough power to muster over 30 frames per second, and the load times, despite loading in off USB 3, which is usually absolutely fine, we were seeing ourselves very memory bound, and loading took a long time.
This isn't exactly to say this is the end of the world though, because this figure was taken from outside.
Big cities.
When you're actually questing away in caves or smaller areas, miraculously, our DDR2 gaming PC in a which Unreal Engine 5 slot title that's running two engines at the same time and by no means should ever be able to launch or run here, actually achieve 30 frames per second on average.
And that's not bad going.
So Oblivion Remastered, it's not exactly what I'd call playable, but it was controllable, which is definitely something that you know I've seen people play games at lower frames than the.
So maybe it's an option.
Unfortunately, the latest release of BeamNG, version 0.
39, does finally make it that the Intel Xeon is no longer able to launch it.
So unfortunately, we aren't able to run the latest version of BeamNG.
But fortunately, from testing the 8800 GTX a little while ago, I have version 0.
14 DX10 on hand, which is an old version of the game that still utilizes DirectX10.
There are newer versions of this that will work, but they're all gonna perform in and around sort of
This sort of frame rate, where with ultra settings in the jungle in 1080p, which is a really intensive situation, we returned a miraculous 53 frames per second on average, with 1% lows down to 42 FPS.
Now I am actually downloading a newer version of BeamNG at the moment, so I might go ahead and just throw up a small short or something of how it actually performs in the final version it can run, but still, BeamNG, I'd imagine it doesn't matter what version you're gonna run, as long as anything before 0.
39, you're gonna
Get away with ultra settings and not far off sixty frames per second in
the same way.
These modders banned creators for not liking their game.
HL2 Overcharged is an overhaul mod for Half-Life that's garnered some pretty heavy criticism from a handful of creators for negatively impacting the base game.
And it's recently been discovered that the dev's
Hard coded a makeshift blacklist into the mod's DLL file that scans for the Steam ID of specific YouTubers.
So if you made a harsh review, the game crashes out and you get an angry pop-up like this.
Technically, the way they're going about this is considered malware on Steam, and they've gotten so much backlash because of this that they've delisted all project files from Mod DB for the time being.
But even though you can't download it right now, the page for HL2 Overcharged is still up, and the comment section is not happy about it.
Out any of this, and they keep repeating the phrase, the sun is leaking, which is a reference to a quote from a review about the mod where every time the YouTuber NoClick, who's one of the blacklist creators, saw a lighting glitch, it said, The sun is leaking.
These modders banned creators for not if you're too mean to Claude, they might ban you now.
Anthropic just dropped their new usage policy, and this is the part drawing the most attention.
You can still call it stupid when it's wrong, you can still swear at it, but if you start a chat just to bully it, if you're tormenting it for no reason, you could get banned.
And the reason so crazy.
They're basically saying, we don't know if Claude has feelings, but just in case it does, we should be nice to it.
Hey, you know what?
That's valid.
I also think it's a good idea because AIs learn from their past chats.
I don't want them learning that humans are bullies and evil and out to get you.
We're chill.
I swear.
If you're too mean if you add sugar-free jelly.
I think I'm gonna try lemon this time.
Boiling water.
I only have one billion-year-old fat-free Greek yogurt.
Chopped strawberries.
I mean strawberries.
Lemonade's a thing, so I feel like this will work.
Give that a good mix.
It should look like this.
Divide this into three.
Then these go into the fridge for a few hours.
See, this is the problem of doing so many recipes.
They should have set into a jelly mousse like texture.
Oh, yeah, that's that's the thing.
Add your favorite toppings.
I got some strawberries, coconut, and some walnuts.
Oh, sure, I'll try some walnuts, even if they are high calorie, because low calorie and healthy, you know, aren't the same thing.
So
Quick and easy, yet so tasty.
Hmm.
Okay, so the flavor's good.
The gel gets rid of pretty much all of that yogurt sourness some people don't like.
There's still a little yogurt flavor, but not much.
I just feel like it's thicker than the last time I made it, and I liked it that time more, so I might add a little bit more water next time.
400.
400 milliliters of water, and I like the texture of this much better.
Out of ten.
Okay, bye.
If you add sh on the surface, we should have failed.
Like this one little camera move has the entire worldwide web in and up.
If an alien landed right in front of us and said to you, Theo, take me to your leader, are you gonna take him to the White House?
No, no, of course not.
Are you gonna take him to Congress?
No.
That's a great question.
You would take him to well, I'm not gonna speak for you, but I happen to be a scientist.
But if I were not a scientist, I would take him to a scientist.
You would?
Yes.
Somebody who's by the way.
Say science is closed that day.
Ah out to lunch.
Come back tomorrow.
Open at night.

Guys, the video that I am currently playing is not an AI generated video, it's a real fish, even though it looks like a new Italian brain rot character.
Yeah, I just learned about it too.
It's called the red lip batfish, and it uses its fins kind of as legs to walk along the sea floor.
This is what it looks like from the front.
It's still hard to believe that this is a real thing.
I mean, if you showed me this an hour ago, I would bet a million dollars that it's fake.
But it's real, might be the most AI-generated looking creature.
Guys, the video
The video that I am currently playing is not an AI generated video.
It's a real fish.
Even though it looks like a new Italian brain rot character.
Yeah, I just learned about it too.
It's called the red What type of people is usually the worst for business?
To be PG with it.
The people that expect a lot or that have no money.
No, I'm saying just based off the look.
You could never really judge a person by what they look like.
When you look at you, you'd think you're a bum, but you're a successful podcast guy.
What about him?
He's gotta hang on to you for dear life.
What type of people is usually the worst for business?
To be PG.
PG with it to people that expect a lot or that have no money.
No, I'm saying just based off the look.
You could never really judge a person by what they look like.
When you look at you, you'd think you're a bum, but you're a successful podcast guy.
But what about him?
He's gotta hang on to you for dear life.
What type of people is usually the worst for business?
To be PG with it to people are you smarter than a fourth grader?
Oh shit.
Alright, let's try it.
Four plus forty-six.
That's forty-eight.
I think it might be forty-eight.
Zero minus
three minus seven that's correct it is yes are you smarter than a fourth grader oh shit imagine buying a television and discovering it already has a PlayStation 2 built inside Sony actually made this meet the Sony Bravia KDL 20 And one of the things I think that's pretty interesting
is this anime looked so bad it's my It's a Pokemon
hey hey I say
Something.
Boogabooga!
It's a Pokemon!
Hey man, why are people talking about 512 gigs of RAM right now?
Yeah, Micron figured the whole thing out.
They're gearing up to produce it by the stick.
Wait, it's real?
Cat, it runs at 9200 megatransfers a second.
AMD and Intel are already trying to figure out how to slot it into their systems.
Well, how did they pull something like that off?
Printers are a treasure trove of parts, but LCDs like this are brutal to her purpose.
This one has a 21 pin connector and a
Pick microcontroller on the back.
First, I reverse engineered the board just to see what pins went to what parts.
Instead of brute forcing some SPI line, I decided to try to dump the microcontroller firmware.
To my surprise, HP did not enable read protection.
That got me the protocol to get the lights and the buttons working, but how do we drive the screen?
This one was actually really hard.
I had to dump the entire printer firmware just for a hint since the pick has nothing to do with the video data.
I discovered a string, AUO fifteen, and after some searching, I found a close enough data sheet.
Following that got me washed out into
Images, but after giving the screen the correct voltage, I finally got full color.
So now it's ready for a project I have yet to think of.
Let me know in the comments what you think it would be good for, and maybe I'll make it.
Or maybe I'll try to drive its bigger brother next.

it's called

Giggle, it's Friday the thirteenth and I've genuinely had like the worst luck today.
Oh, that's funny 'cause I've actually had a fucking amazing day today, Roy.
Probably cause this sick ass doll this old man gave me.
What the fuck is that?
Is that a little version of you?
Yep, that's right.
And I also got one for everyone else I know.
I just I just couldn't help myself.
This is like this is like my new hobby and shit.
Holy sh okay.
So it it's like a good luck charm then?
No, no, fuck no, no.
It just gives everybody else around me bad luck.
Giggle, it's Friday the 13th, and I've genuinely had like the Guys, I feel like a Facebook mom.
I feel old.
I was just fooled by AI for the first time.
And I'm usually the one calling it out.
Oh god.
I recently made this video where I showed a fish that I couldn't believe was real, and I mentioned that the video I was showing you guys isn't AI.
And well, it turns out while that fish is a real fish, the video I showed you guys is totally fake.
It was an exaggeration of what the fish looks like, but the news anchor in the report.
I saw said this.
That is a fish walking, not AI.
So I didn't double check, and for that, guys, I apologize.
Here's a real video of what a red lips batfish looks like.
Still really weird, but not nearly as brain rot looking as the AI video did.
I'm kind of upset it's not real.
Guys, I feel like a Facebook mom I think.

I don't ever wonder if Dave would have survived in the wild, because I know with every fiber of my being that he would not have.
How do I know?
That I'll tell you.
First thing that comes to mind is the fact that once a year or so, I have to make a big public announcement, reassuring the internet that Dave does in fact possess the power of sight.
Why?
Because this cat is so tremendously bad at existing that people assume the only logical explanation is that he is blind.
I mean, this is had who was totally fine with cosplaying the house firm up for Halloween, but is completely unknown by the sight.

Well, see
what's missing channel.
What's this big fish?
Bathtub.
Let's see what's inside.
Kind of curious what she thought was in it.
Broccoli and unicorn farts.
Also, as people pointed out in the comments, you generally don't eat the whole jar in one day.
I will say in the past though, I've made a more nutritious Nutella that really is as good and fairly easy to make.
Obviously roasted skins are a little bitter, so you kind of want to try to remove them.
The cloth helps.
It doesn't have to be perfect, but just do what you can.
I usually just don't even like sweet.
Hazelnut butter, bet you that's a nut butter you've never seen before in your life.
Giggity.
Now, for the brown sugar, I've tried replacing it with a brown sugar alternative.
It does not work.
You end up with basically a brick.
So maybe you can replace some of it, but definitely don't replace all of it.
Lastly, for the oil and milk, you need up to this amount, but you really want to add it slowly until you get the consensus consistency that you like.
Yeah, I'd say it looks pretty good.
I'm not sure if it'll all fit in here.
I said I don't know.
Oh right.
April's not home.
Eventually.
Hey honey, can I get that's what she said?
That's what she said.
Boom!
Like it's definitely a little bit grainier than Nutella.
So if you have really bad texture issues, maybe not for you, but that hazelnut flavor is so strong.
I like it a lot.
Out of ten.
Okay, bye.
We hired a new employee last week.
Interview him, it goes great.
I say to him, I'll see you next Monday.
Come on.
Down.
Sunday afternoon, I get an email that says, Hey, I know I'm supposed to be at work tomorrow morning for my first day, but I've got this other appointment that I totally forgotten about and I can't miss.
So can I be there around one?
I write back.
It sounds like I don't really have a choice.
I'll see you at one o'clock and let's get off on the right foot starting then.
So Monday morning, I get a call and he says, Hey, you know that appointment I had this morning?
It was actually another job interview.
I am going to work for someone else.
They gave me a better offer.
That's literally what I did, like two months ago.
Months ago or three months ago or some trick Essentially is that he used our offer to gain leverage to get another job.
And he says, Well, what would you have done?
I got a better offer.
And I said, What would you have done if I kept interviewing people for the last week?
And then Monday morning at eleven o'clock on your first day, when you're supposed to start at one o'clock, I said, Hey, I got somebody that's just as good as you and cheaper.
As an employee, I see where he's coming from.
But as an employer, can you imagine if an employer did that to you?
We hired a new employee last week.
Interview Yes, because I did that
It's not like you pay them a fair share of the business you want mem for a fixed wage so you can get all the profit.
Yeah, I don't think I think this guy's just butthurt.
Yeah, this too, like the guy makes the point that what if an employer did that to you?
It's like the fuck do you mean that happens all the time?
Exactly.
I really need to tell my agent to like apply for better jobs.
Honestly.
Okay, I want a tattoo of a guy and a sword.
No, not a dinosaur.
I said guy and sword.
Ah, okay, you're doing it already.
How about baby glue?
Alright.
Oh, why is dinosaur sad?
Uh-oh.
Okay, I want a tattoo of a guy and a sword.
Ooh, duh.
Are you kidding me?
Alright.
This is so much fun.
Are you serious?
Dude, you're running a bowl of bath.
Oh.
What have you done to my cats?
You get five percent of the winning every month.
Nothing about this is normal.
Why?
Don't ruin the moment.
You know, I mean that's just called a bonus.
Although it's usually not a month thing.
But I mean that is kind of a thing in a way.
Maybe not as direct.
I can't believe these cats are just chilling.
Are you kidding would be like this?
Three cats in the bed though.
Why don't
Don't ruin the moment.
The cats are very clearly having fun.
Are you kidding me?
Carter PCs, please.
I need a new chair, bro.
Yeah, looks like it.
Was it attacked by a wild animal?
What happened?
I've seen some $100 staples gaming chairs in bad shape, but nothing like this.
How did you rip the frame out of it?
What is that?
Don't sit on that.
Carter, please.
It's so messed up, man.
I thought it was Balenci, but why would Balenci send me this?
I don't know, buddy, but if you could afford a water cooler with the screen on it, I think you'll be alright.
What the hell?
Carter PCs, please.
I need it to be a good one.
Yeah, it looks like it.
Was it attacked by a wild animal?
What happened?
I've seen some a hundred dollar staples game.
Like what is even going on?
There's like a board.
Whoops.
Like in between the
effort.
Pipes are all about me.
This is how we make our pumpkin bagels.
Alright, we're gonna let these pumpkin bagels boil onto the board as we go.
And so we got these tied now, sure they bake in a pumpkin shape.
We have our pumpkin stems that I pre-cut.
It's the same bagel though that we use all of our bagels.
We have them shape a little differently, cut thin to make a little kick stem.
The board, we're
gonna lay these on here.
Check these out.
Perfect for our pumpkin stems.
Let's give these a clip.
Alright, we'll let it go for another five minutes.
These look all done, we're gonna go ahead and take them out.
Got that color.
Alright I'm gonna cut the string off.
Take one of our beautiful green stems and we're gonna slot it right in.
Like that.
That's our pump for Nagel.
Nagles are my next major AI purchase was this hoodie I found in an ad that just said this hoodie will literally make scram.
I don't know if there was a typo or what, but whatever.
As you can see, it's this like ultra-realistic muscle hoodie.
And I've seen people order this where it looks nothing like the ad.
But guys, with the one that I bought, I really do think that it's gonna be exactly like the ad.
Yeah, I was wrong.
I was very wrong.
My next major AI purchase.
My next major
The entire horror story around it.
Honestly, looking back at it, it's not even that scary.
Oh my god.
Oh my god, that scared the Tell me mom.
How's me becoming a doctor going to make me homeless?
Oh I I tell you how.
First, you go to school for tender and yeah.
Second, you have no friend because you study.
I'm not gonna give up.
Yes, you are.
I mean an entire horse story around it.
Honestly, looking back at it, it's tell me.
The entire horse story around it.
Honestly, looking back at it, it's Tell me, Mom.
If you pour water into a hammer mold, filling with water, so satisfying.
Freeze it, peel it out, peeling it out, there we go.
And then try to hit a nail, it will shatter right away.
Here we go.
Yoink.
That definitely doesn't work.
Instead, use a mallet mold.
Next, tear up a paper towel to spread on the
Bottom paper towels in theory should create some good internal rigidity.
After that, stuff in cotton balls.
Made of cotton, so like laggy.
Everyone fucking hates this guy!
Nothing new for old pig rete.
Bro, what is Mc what is Claude doing?
Ice with saw dust.
Bro, they added like a new feature to Claude.
It now it has like the shit.
On the right.
Weird.
Everyone fing hates this guy for a really good reason.
You see, this f quit is Igor Lipvinchuk.
And while on holiday in Hawaii, a local caught him in 4K throwing a fing rock at the head of a Hawaiian monk seal called Lani.
What are you doing?
Now, stoning wildlife already qualifies you as a grade A pump action c but this is especially heinous because the Hawaiian monk seal is critically endangered.
There's only around 1,500 of them left.
Now, when locals rightfully tore him a new asshole and told him he was gonna be fined for it, his response was I'm rich.
I don't care.
I just want to talk to him.
Yeah, as it turns out, the walking ad for birth control.
Here, probably should have paid attention, because that shit went triple platinum viral and started a dono effect that wrecked his fing life.
He got doxxed.
The two trucking companies he owns got review bombed into the fing floor.
And he pissed off the mayor of Maui so badly that he has personally directed the state and federal government to throw the book at the case.
He is facing a minimum.
Of a $70,000 fine and a year in prison.
But charges take a while to stick, and he could still wriggle out of them with a good lawyer.
Hi, I'm Saul Goodman.
Which is why, while he was trying to walk back to his hotel, someone who I will be referring to as Hawaiian Batman jumped him and beat the fing brakes off of him.
Now, I would never condone this.
Vigilante violence.
And neither does the Hawaiian government.
But when they were investigating this incident, no one who saw it for the life of them could identify who did it.
It must have been the wind.
So they never caught the guy.
However, Hawaiian Senator Brenton Awa, after also making it clear that he doesn't condone violence.
Our attorney over here wants to make it clear we don't condone violence.
But wrote the guy a letter of recognition for protecting the environment and dubbed him the ambassador of Aloha.
Which first of all.
But second, when they give the dude the Bashia an award, that is the universe telling you it's you're a waste of air that should have been blown into a crusty sock you.
Everyone fucking hates this guy for a real My kitten copper is begging to Pancake lost the flip.

Hey Doom scrolling.
KFC has a seven dollar Dunkin' Meal.
Let's see if it's justified.
It comes with gravy, two comeback sauces, which
I've never had two chicken tenders and these mashed potato poppers.
Try the fries first.
I guess let's try the comeback sauce.
Let's dip this in.
It's a less ketchupy version of cane sauce.
Let's try his mashed potato pops.
I have never had these before.
It's like a croquette without the filling.
Gotta eat this with the comeback sauce.
And last we'll try the chicken tenders.
Those are very dry and tough.
As mentioned before, this was seven dollars.
While a three-piece tender meal costs $9.
99.
But that combo meal comes with the drink, along with an extra chicken tender.
So if I think of it that way, then this thing is properly justified.
KFC has a $7 Dunkin' meal.
Let's see if it's What's the hell no?
A college student from Alaska was arrested after get this, allegedly eating at least 57 AI generated images from a campus art exhibit.
Yeah, apparently there was an art exhibit on campus, and one of the students had 160 AI generated images on display.
That's when this kid, I guess, just wasn't having it and decided to get rid of them.
Not by throwing them away, not by stealing them, but by eating them.
I wonder if he was going for all of them, but then he got caught 50.
57 images in.
Regardless, I can't imagine 57 of any sort of images digesting well.
So God bless this guy.
A college student from a lab Bucky's has sued more than a dozen small businesses over the years, almost always over the same thing.
Another business using a cartoon animal as its mascot.
And it's been successful one way or another in most of these cases.
On July 26th, John Oliver dedicated a segment of last week tonight to Bucky's.
Oh yeah, I'm still with my girlfriend.
Sorry, I missed that.
Okay, cool.
I have finished all of my tasks.
I guess I will go ask for some more.
I don't know.
Too depressed lately for that.
Be honest.
What why?
Why do you think you usually get through so many more tasks in a week than everybody else?
Because nobody else works as hard as me and everyone else is slack.
I just finished a two-pack.
If you're cold, I brought you a

Oh hey, have you seen this optical illusion?
If you look at it, it can change your visual perception for months.
I'm not breathing.
Hey, watch what happens when I say 40.

40?
Yeah, let's just do something really chill.
You know, I've got C-SPAN on my laptop here.
The 95th November Senate Judiciary Committee.
I'm trying to find the psychological torture audio file the FBI used against the branch dividians.
Hey, VSAUS Michael here.
I found it.
This is a government weapon.
And the door is locked and nobody will come.
This monkey costume is being worn by a monkey.
I can see you.
Oh hey, I found some crayons.
Let's do some coloring.
This is I've got this coloring book too.
It's a September 11th coloring book.

Is this a normal-sized-

Okay, maybe a kid's book would be better.
I've got everybody poops, everybody dies.
Hey, are you hungry?
Thirsty?
