I Found a Strange New Retirement Hobby

Added: 2026-05-12

[00:00:00]Hey, travels with Dy here and I had uh started the process of doing um less long form videos because I you may not have noticed but um I've started putting more intention into my longer form videos. Uh just all I mean by that is that I do um in the beginning of it kind of a like of a 30 second scripted opening to tell people exactly what the video is about so they don't have to guess. So really that's a courtesy for people that hey I this isn't it so they can bail out right away because the last thing I want to do is waste time. Your time not my time. my time I I'll waste not yours.

[00:00:53]And I've been doing an a thinking through first what I'm going to talk about and what the video is going to be about. And I do an outline. That's I've never done that before. Um I've always done what I'm doing on this video. And it brings to the point, so what's this video about? It's it's about nothing because here's what I've decided to try.

[00:01:16]When I did skip a day, there were people that didn't like that. And I remember how I felt when I used to watch my my favorite YouTuber, Adam the Woo. If he missed a day, I wasn't real happy about it.

[00:01:31]So, I get it. So, I'm going I am going to post a long term long form video every day, but every other day it'll be one like this where you you get what's happening in the morning. Um, so the routine is going to be I'm sitting at my desk here. I just did the positive news video. I published that. Then I turn this on and I'm I'm having my coffee and I'm going to tell you what my day looks like and what's what's on my mind. So today, um, I'm shipping out. Um, if you've not kept up with me, one of my hobbies is I go on to places like e eBay and discount places and buy um, used and sometimes broken um, Dell laptops and I buy them inexpensively and I try to repair them.

[00:02:23]Um, I don't do like the heavyduty soldering board repair. There's an outfit in Austin called Parts People and they um when I get stuck I send it to them to repair and they charge me for it and I've I've only done that once.

[00:02:41]So um I just I just bought a such a beautiful PC for so much less than it was worth. Um uh I I it was such a thing of beauty. I didn't have to do anything to it. I even opened it up to see, well, maybe the least I can do is, you know, it's a it's like a foury old PC, three or four year old um laptop, and I went in to see if I could clean out the fans or anything.

[00:03:13]There wasn't a speck of dust inside this rig.

[00:03:18]And it was um it was I I played games on it.

[00:03:24]It did games well. It did video editing well. So, it's in my car in a package.

[00:03:30]I'm sending it to my buddy Denny who I sold um my old Dell gaming laptop so he could do um his editing on it. And he's been having a little trouble with it.

[00:03:43]It's kind of a finicky machine. It's not made for editing. It works great for editing, don't get me wrong, but it's made for gaming. That's where all the emphasis is. versus this one is it'll you can game on it, but it's a business workstation. It's not a consumer workstation l by workstation. I still still a laptop, but it's made for business like CAD drawings and just really intense stuff. And he got excited about it and I said, "Well, do you want it? I'll just send it to you. Send me back the old one." So, we're going to do a swap and I'm going to get um my old Dell 5511, which is it's it's it's like the Dell version. This is an Alien Wear without the fancy lights. That's kind of what it what it is. And so, I'm probably going to take that apart. There's some electrical problems that he's intermittently handling. and I'm going to try to solve that myself and if I can't I'll send it to to the the the Dell repair guy in Austin. Um I have a amazing deal that I got being delivered this week on the most powerful laptop I think I'm I've ever had in my hands. Now I got it for it was an absolute steal. I I went into the auction and lots of things worked in my favor. What you do on when you bid on something in e eBay, you can let's say the going bids $100 for something. Well, you can go and say I want to bid and the maximum I will spend on this, you decide what's the most you'll spend on this thing. So, if you put in $400, that's not your bid. It'll incre It'll beat the bid that's up there and it'll counter bid until you get to your maximum.

[00:05:37]Pretty smart you think about it. Well, couple of things I had going for me.

[00:05:43]Maybe more than one, right? Though nerds, you're going to love this. If you don't care about tech stuff, you're probably already watching a different video.

[00:05:55]First thing was I noticed that the the all the all the auctions have an expiration time and day. This one was going to expire like in 3:00 in the morning Eastern time and it's like unless you're automated or you're you're you're the bids are won in the last 60 seconds. That's where it happens. Um, and so I had I said I was willing to pay $500 for this thing and the current bid was like 220 something.

[00:06:28]And I didn't think I was going to get it. And here's a second thing I had going for me. Um, it was a reputable seller, but he said, "Look, we got this thing in. It's um, it's not really working. It turns on and then turns off.

[00:06:43]We think it's a ribbon cable. We don't know what the problem is."

[00:06:47]basically selling it for parts and um I think there's a finite number of things that could it could be the worst case is that it's like a CPU or or GPU failure or processing fail failure that needs a new motherboard and I will have wasted the money but I sincerely doubt that's the case but we'll find out. So that scared people off.

[00:07:12]The other thing is I I Dell has what they call a service tag number and it wasn't in the ad. So I messaged the seller and said, "Any way you can give me that service tag number?" They did and I looked it up and they totally undersold it in the description.

[00:07:31]There's this thing is a was sold. It was a much higher level of that model than they were advertising. So I had that I had that knowledge going for me. And I'm sure you I got it. I want it. And I want it for Hang on. Let me look it up here.

[00:07:47]I I don't want to just guess.

[00:07:50]So remember, I was willing to pay um uh $500, right?

[00:08:03]I paid with tax everything included $42905.

[00:08:11]30 $70 less than my maximum. And um here here's how do I decide how much? Well, some of you are getting sick of hearing about this, but I use chat GPT, not a sponsor. There's a I just use it because it happens to be the one I first picked up and I I stick when I get something to work I stick with it. But um it's just amazing how um like I will take pictures of a listing of a of a laptop on eBay. I'll take um you know screenshots on my phone of the description, all the pictures, everything they're advertising and I'll just give those pictures to ChatGpt and it knows because it knows me. I have an account what I'm looking for. I'm looking to buy this and it steers me away from bad deals and high-risisk deals.

[00:09:10]And like this one, it, you know, went into detail about here are the things that could be wrong with it based on what they're saying and here's like five things that could be and here's the probability for each one. And the one with the lowest probability was the most expensive that we need a new motherboard. And I in in that case um close to $429 is it's it's gone. I can maybe, you know, if it really is a um motherboard failure, um I'll probably if there's like memory or something I can pull off it or I can sell the screen. I mean, there is value. So, I would lose a couple hundred and that's that's the risk you take when you do stuff like this.

[00:09:57]But, um so those of you that would like why why are you telling me what it is?

[00:10:03]It is a 17in Alien Wheelware wear M17 R4 and um and actually and that's all that's all it really said in the description. Um let's see.

[00:10:20]Let's come on. Let's uh get the original listing. Okay.

[00:10:31]So, the winning bid, mine was $370 and the rest of it is taxes. All right.

[00:10:43]Okay. Full description. It worked briefly, then stopped turning on. All components look fine. could just need a new power adapter or ribbon connector, but we don't have the time to repair it currently. So, we're selling it at a highly discounted deal. Now, should you believe that? Well, let's I'll read the rest of the description, then I'm going to read you what we know about the seller. The 17in um M17 R4 featured an Intel Core i7 processor designed for gaming and performance intensive task.

[00:11:14]Let's see, I'm going to skip stuff that doesn't mean anything. It comes Bluetooth, webcam, all this is filler nonsense. These things are included with every laptop.

[00:11:25]Um, the listing does not have a hard drive. Okay, so that's another thing that carries that scares people off. So, as soon as I won this bid, I ordered a hard drive. So, I'm I'm going to have another60 $160 into this. I bought a one TBTE hard drive hard drive for it, which if it doesn't work, I I can return the hard drive. So, um, it's ideal. Um, it doesn't have a hard drive or operating system, and that doesn't matter. I get a hard drive. If I get it working, I can download the operating Windows. That's not a problem.

[00:11:58]That's not going to cost anything. It's ideal for individuals looking for a high quality laptop for parts or to customize their own storage solution. Um, so that is now ChatGP.

[00:12:11]Um, we spent a long time. Um, can you read me back the specs that we talked about that I got from Dell using the service code on the um, M17, the Alienware?

[00:12:43]So, it's going to go back into memory and it's going to pull it up.

[00:12:50]It's thinking.

[00:12:56]So, yeah, I errored it. It errored out. So, that that happens because I use this thing really heavily. Um Oh, here it goes.

[00:13:13]So it gave detail on what the processor was. It's an i7 um 1087H 8 core 16th threads 5 GHz tur turbo. That is huge. It didn't go that's a very high-end for that time an extremely high-end processor in the graphical processing unit. It's an Nvidia GeForce 3080 with 16 GB of GDDR6 VRAM. I know that's gobbly, but this is the premium high-end version and it came and it's got 32 gigabytes of DDR4 um RAM and that RAM is expensive. So, you may say and they didn't mention the RAM in the description. So the uninformed person, like if I wasn't using chat GTP, that's what I would be. They'd say they probably took those RAM sticks out of there and sold them because the price of RAM has gone through the roof. And 32 GB of RAM is even used is we're talking a maybe $200 if it's good RAM used.

[00:14:22]So people probably assumed, oh, they they stripped the RAM out of it because they didn't even mention it.

[00:14:28]Here's another inside piece of information. I got from chat GTP that model that year.

[00:14:37]They have RAM that's soldered onto the board. You can't remove it. So, they couldn't have removed it. It's there.

[00:14:44]And I went and asked the um I asked a question. You you know, you can message the seller and I also when I got the um the service code number, I asked how much RAM is on there and they came back and said, I think it's 32 GB. So, it's not gone. It's there. And every other buyer didn't have all this information.

[00:15:05]Um, okay. This is the display.

[00:15:11]It's full high definition. But let let's talk about refresh rates. Refresh rates, you know, a lot of the inexpensive ones are 60 Hz, maybe 120. 120 is a high refresh rate for a screen. This one is 360.

[00:15:29]I've never seen that on a laptop. That is just incredible.

[00:15:35]Um so with the um the crucial um is the brand name of the the SSD um with tax that cost me 195.88.

[00:15:52]So total into this right now 624 um $624.93.

[00:16:03]So if I'm successful and it's working perfectly with everything in what is it worth um low, medium, high on the open market? I'm asking chat right now.

[00:16:26]Are you ready? Lowend quick sale $850 to $1,000.

[00:16:35]Realistic fair market value is $1,100 to$1350.

[00:16:40]and high-end if it's immaculate and then I repaste it, meaning I redo the um the um paste that goes on the processors because it's a few years old. And in this case, I would not do that myself. I would mail this off to um the the parts people Dell because Alien wares are really complex when you take them apart and if you don't know what you're doing you can you can you can break stuff easy regular the business laptops it's pretty easy this is complicated so I would do that so um you if I got it repasted included benchmark screen screenshots.

[00:17:28]The battery health is good. Um I really good photos patient seller upgrading the storage. Um $1,400 to $1,700.

[00:17:40]And let just to refresh you, what did I pay for this? $624.93.

[00:17:47]But um I'm not doing this to make money. I'm doing it because it's a hobby. So I want to break even. So, um, so far, everyone I've done, I've sold to someone that I know for exactly what it cost me. So, probably some lucky friend is going to get this thing for $624.93, and they could turn it around and sell it for up to $1,700.

[00:18:15]So you can now that you hear the dollars and the cents and sort of the the mining of value out there is my hobby then maybe you could understand my enthusiasm.

[00:18:28]Um I get um I get the joy out of finding the value not like cashing in on the value. I I guess you know I and it's not as easy as you think. It says it could go for up to $1,700.

[00:18:48]That's unlikely. What's most something in the middle? Say $1,500. But you know, Amazon takes a a cost. Let let's give it a hypothetical.

[00:19:02]Let's say I listed it on Amazon and it went for the low end of high-end 1450.

[00:19:10]What would I net after um the Amazon cut is Amazon takes it? I meant the eBay cut.

[00:19:28]eBay, they don't they're not in this business for free.

[00:19:42]Approximate proceeds before shipping would be down to $1,258 if shipping if shipping insurance cost you $45 to $70.

[00:19:52]So a lot of times if you pay for the shipping that makes it more attractive.

[00:19:56]Estimated net 1185 to 1215. So subtract the project cost. Um estimated profit is approximately $575.

[00:20:09]So say I could make $500 on it, but this is unusual. I wouldn't be able to make any kind of living doing this because this is a diamond in the rough and we still don't know whether it's going to work or not, right? We still don't know. So, what I'm the I'm take it's a gamble, but it's fun.

[00:20:35]So, you know what's going to probably happen. I do have a Alienware that I have that I'm now has become my Windows gaming PC. I got this a few weeks ago and I didn't want to resell it. I wanted the I started this thing to just I have a 2013 I had a 2013 um Alienware laptop and I I said, you know, I really like it and I use it, but I can only play pretty old games because it's 2013. So, I wonder if I This is how the the hobby started. said I could sell it on eBay and use the money to buy one not a new one but one that's instead of a 2013 buy like a 2017 or 2018 model and that's exactly what I did and I got addicted to it especially the selling part taking the pictures and I I got what I wanted out of the old one and I got a great deal on a new one that performs much better and the games are are are plays so much better and I can do games on it that I couldn't on the old one. So, I have that one now, and I wasn't planning to to sell it to anybody. But now, if this one works out, I'm going to keep it. And then the other one, I'll uh Well, actually, let me let me go get it. I'll show you what this is. Just this blows me away.

[00:21:54]Um that you can do this.

[00:22:00]And if you're careful, this is a laptop that is like a 2019 laptop. All right, take a close look at that. Let's open it up for you.

[00:22:14]Does that look like an ancient used laptop? No. It looks brand freaking new.

[00:22:20]This one, you want to know what I paid for that one? And I'll tell you what it is.

[00:22:27]All right.

[00:22:40]Hang on. And oh, and this one I did not buy from um eBay. I bought it from a company that recycles old computers. And I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you about them in a minute. I did. Chat helped me check out that company and all right.

[00:23:27]I hope I can still view the order.

[00:23:29]Sometimes they disappear.

[00:23:36]I have to It may not have the original order here.

[00:23:49]Oh, come on.

[00:23:52]Oh, okay. Here it is. It was an Alienware M15 15.6 in screen, nice size screen. Um, i7 9750, 8 gigabyte RAM, 1 TBTE SSD, um, in a GeForce 1660 Ti, which is a great graphic thing. So, that was for $400 including shipping. So, $400 I'm into it. And I get it and chat, you know, I'm opening it up.

[00:24:22]I'm taking pictures, working with chat, and chat said, "That's not a one that's not a one TBTE SSD.

[00:24:31]It's a hybrid drive." And it was really the everything was really slow loading.

[00:24:36]He said, "You you you've got a case here." Um because you've got what they call a hybrid drive. You need an SSD drive. And that was like close to $200 that I had to pay out of pocket. So, it helped me write an email to the company complaining and we negotiated and they gave me um a refund and you can actually see it here. Um the company that does this, I think they're franchises throughout the company, throughout the country, pay more. It's one word, P A Y M O R E. And this one's in Oakill. But you can see here where they credited me $60. So, I ended up paying um uh uh instead of $400, I paid 300 um $340 for it all in tax, shipping, and everything.

[00:25:27]And this thing is a beast. It's I'm very, very happy with the performance of this thing. I just like I um it's just so much fun. I'm gonna you see how from a cold start see how um how quickly it fires up here now.

[00:26:08]All right.

[00:26:10]Yeah, that was pretty fast.

[00:26:13]And here's how it looks.

[00:26:16]And uh it's just it's it's really it's beautiful. And I bet if you slow it down, you can see what my password is to get on onto my laptop here.

[00:26:29]I guess one of you might sneak into my house and log into my laptop now that you have my password.

[00:26:36]I think I'm safe. I would if I could if Windows would have let me do it. I I would have set it up so you don't have to put it in a passwords, right? I don't have like my banking stuff on there or anything. I play games on it.

[00:26:52]Um, so anyway, that's all the that's I'm sort of consumed with this today. Um, and uh I was actually a little nervous because they um I won it on like Saturday early 3:00 Saturday morning or something and of course they didn't ship it out because they it's a business. Oh, I was going to tell you why I trusted what these people were saying, right? Because they were saying, you know, it turned off once and we think it could be this and we just don't have the time to look at it. That could sound like a BS story, but let's um let's look at um eBay tells you something about um each seller and it's I bought it from Exiled Treasures.

[00:27:48]they have 100% positive feedback and this is very hard to fake and you can do it and the way there's a way that people cheat the system to do this um but not at this scale because this is um 4,200 items sold and then when you go through and look at what they're selling baseball cards cards, a few laptops and things, um, comic books, collectible things. This is not a PC. This is not a computer or a tech shop. So, everything um uh rare. It says rare. rare and exciting finds across movies and TV, business and industry, music, collectibles, video games, consoles, uh whether you're a passionate collector, dedicated gamer.

[00:28:47]So, you know, this I found interesting.

[00:28:54]I know that they're not doing this, but the unscrupulous companies get on there and you'll see like there's um big companies that have several of these businesses where they're selling used MacBooks for incredibly cheap prices and you go and you look, oh wow, they've sold 50 of them, all positive reviews.

[00:29:20]So you don't hesitate to go and buy one because you know you're not going to be ripped off because 50 people have gone before you. Then you they deliver something that's a piece of crap. It isn't what they advertised and they don't take returns.

[00:29:34]Well, how do they do that?

[00:29:38]Cuz they're those aren't fake reviews.

[00:29:40]They're real.

[00:29:43]But if you look carefully at them, you're going to discover something disturbing.

[00:29:48]Here's how they do it. They will sell you, they will put for sale a little mouse, a nice mouse that works at a cheap price, they'll break even on it. And they'll sell 50 of these and they'll wait for the reviews to come in. And because he sold it so cheap and it's a great little mouse for $4.95, you're going to get all positive reviews. And God forbid if someone gets one that's broken or doesn't work, immediately you refund them and replace it. So all you get is things like, "Oh, it came and it was broken, but they responded immediately and get me a new one."

[00:30:32]And mostly they don't when you're reviewing something, you don't necessarily mention what it was, right?

[00:30:39]So I sell 50 of them.

[00:30:43]The provider can go into the listing and change everything, including the pictures, the name of the thing that you're selling, the price, and suddenly the same thing that has all these positive reviews on it for the mouse. When you look at the listing, it's no longer a mouse. It's a laptop at a whole different price. So you assume all these positives in and it'll still say 50 sold, but it's referring to the mouse that they sold. So I'm hoping eBay puts a lid on this. And I don't maybe they have, you know, you know better than me they have because this information, this um sort of MacBook scam that I looked into, the information is about a year old. So they might have plugged this particular hole. But what a what an unscrupulous sneaky way to rip people off. Um you just you got to be careful out there especially doing like what what I'm doing here. So anyway, that's why um uh and you know in and further is get get this and unscrupulous storefronts in eBay aren't aren't very responsive especially after they got their money. These people already got my money. It's in the bank, right? Um, if I was concerned because I'm leaving for eel master week from Wednesday and I'm hoping that um that I it'll get here before I go a week from of the 20th, a week from Wednesday, it'll get delivered here. And if they sent it out today, there wouldn't be any doubt, but I don't know how busy they are or what their procedure is. So, I sent them this message at 7:29 a.m. this morning. I'm going to read it to you.

[00:32:48]I'm leaving my current address on the 20th for the summer, so I'm hoping you can send this out today. If there's going to be a delay, let me know and I'll send you an alternate address. I'll give him my buddy Jack's address up in Eagle Nest. That's 7:29. At 7:31, I will get this shipped out today.

[00:33:07]7:32. I said, "Thank you." That was a very quick response. 7:33. You're welcome.

[00:33:23]I'm impressed.

[00:33:26]And even if it ends up being a motherboard problem and I lose a bunch of money, this I will not blame the seller because you you would if it's they said, "Hey, this is what's happening. It turned on and it's not turning on and we don't know what the problem is." Totally upfront honest. They're they're selling this thing for parts. They're not selling it as a working tested computer.

[00:33:49]There's not even an operating system on it. So, um, legitimately, caveat mtor buyer beware on me, but I'm playing the odds here. I'm rolling the dice.

[00:34:02]So, if you made it this far in the video, you're interested in this kind of stuff.

[00:34:12]A lot of fe fellow viewers are watching have been watching another video for like over 30 minutes in hopefully one of my videos but probably not. But this is what it's going to be.

[00:34:25]I don't mean it's going to be on PCs every day but it's going to be every other day. It's going to be a totally unplanned extempor extemporaneous thing like today where I just um sort of dump what's in my mind and what's going on in the day and um and I thought about this and I thought you know given the higher structure of my longer videos that I've been evolving into I don't one of the things people I think they say to me they like about my videos is the unplanned, non-scripted, nonoutlined videos like this. So, if I I thought, you know, if I just take that away, I might lose people that that um it's kind of like um if you're familiar with Adam the Woo, he was my favorite YouTuber. He did he called them video logs or vlogs. He did one every day and it was rare for him to miss. and I was modeling my channel after him and many of his were like this. He my f, you know, he did a lot of destination things. He was a big Disney thing and that was kind of planned out. Those videos were planned out, but often he would be at home in Celebration, Florida, and he'd take his little golf cart out and drive around Celebration just talking about, hey, stuff that he's passing by. And then my favorite was when he'd there's a little man-made lake with like a walkway and benches. He'd sit on a bench near the lake and he on the camera and he just talk about what's on his mind. Those were my favorite videos. And that's kind of what this is.

[00:36:08]And sometimes he talked about stuff I was interested in and sometimes I had no interest in what he was talking about. And sometimes I listen to it anyway because I just liked listening to the guy talk about stuff.

[00:36:22]I don't know. So, if you think this is a good idea, post a comment. If you think this is a terrible idea, post a comment. Please be polite about it, but um I I'm very good at absorbing polite criticism. It's I'm not so good at sort of the nasty stuff, but polite criticism, that's where you grow and you learn and you find out stuff that makes your life better.

[00:36:52]And I've, you know, you can give your if you're, it doesn't matter whether you're using in chat GTP or cloud or any of the others. You can instruct it on how to deal with you. You know, I like I said, be blunt. Don't hold back criticism.

[00:37:10]Don't be polite. When I'm doing something or I have a suggestion that you think is a bad idea, tell me it's a bad idea. Don't dance around it. other people like, "Okay, be honest with me, but be be really gentle and supportive."

[00:37:26]It will do that. It'll give you the same information just in a subtler way. But, um, I'll, um, for, let me give you an example. When I do a video like this, I can create a transcript, right? And I take that transcript and I give it to chat and it analyzes the video. And one of the things it does is it gives me that sort of 30 second clip at the beginning a transcript to say what the video is about. Um, and it will also evaluate the video. And if I put I probably won't put these in there because I don't want to do the scripted thing at the front of these casual videos. And and actually I will feed it through and it anyway just for giggles and grins and it will comment negatively on my lack of structure and repeating myself and um going on too long about things and you're you know when you do this you're going to lose interest and it'll it'll explain to me why the video you're watching now will not be a hit video.

[00:38:39]It's like the internal measure for most YouTubers is every video when it gets published and it gets views, it ranks it um against your last 10 videos. And everybody wants that one of 10. If it's one or 10, this is the best of the last 10 videos. The dreaded thing is 10 of 10. This is the worst performing video out of your past 10. and videos like this will be eight nine eight and nine and ten out of ten because this isn't commercially well I shouldn't say commercially viable but it isn't the kind of content that will attract new people into your channel. It won't deeply resonate with um your your um your viewer base.

[00:39:26]Um, but I already know that. But I'll put it through anyway just just to see if I'm right about my prediction of what what it will say. And I'll tell you what I'll do.

[00:39:39]I'm going to turn it off now. I'm going to upload it and I'm going to do the transcript and I will read you what chat GTP says about this video. Um, so I'll be right back.

[00:39:55]Okay, here it is. Just based on the transcript and this is I'm reading what chat GTP is telling me. My blunt read.

[00:40:03]This is not a breakout video. It's too long, too niche, too tech heavy, and too repetitive to bring in a broad new RV audience. But I think that's very valuable for your core audience because it explains some deeper some something deeper than laptops. You're showing people what it feels like when retirement still has curiosity, risk, learning, enthusiasm, and play.

[00:40:27]That's the real video. The laptop project is a surface topic. The deeper topic is, I found a hobby that makes me feel alive, and I want to bring you along for the gamble. That is actually very aligned with your channel. The strongest parts Whoops, I lost my place. Sorry.

[00:41:36]the strongest parts uh the strongest section is where you explain that you're not really doing this for profit but for the joy of mining value. That's an emotional center of the video. Um I'm not going to read everything in here, but that's the strongest part, the biggest weakness. It takes too long to get to the emotional point. Right now, the video starts as a channel process explanation, then a laptop story, then an eBay strategy, then a chat GTP explanation, etc., etc. It's okay for a coffee video, but you still need a tiny bit of framing at the beginning so people know why they should stay. Um, I would not add your fully polished 30 second scripted hook, but I would add a casual 10 to 15 second opening. I'm not going to read you what the opening is because I'm not going to do that. So, I'm going to stick to just what I what naturally comes on these.

[00:42:28]Should I publish this today? And it's saying no. I have one that I published now and it said there's one that's polished and a good video. So, do that one. Um, let's see. That's that's pretty much it.

[00:42:48]So, um, let me see if there's anything else it says that's worth that's worth repeating to you.

[00:43:05]What I would avoid, I would avoid too many specs on screen. RTX3080 exclamation point, dollar amounts, charts, too much text, over technical framing because it narrows the audience too aggressively.

[00:43:20]You're not really making a computer channel video. You're making a retired guy finds a new obsession.

[00:43:26]So it does criticize and it it made the criticizing criticism that that I thought it would make. So this is going to be the new thing. What do you think in the comments? When am I going to see again? Oh, I'm going to get in trouble. I am going to get in trouble with so many of you.

[00:43:52]Why?

[00:43:56]because I did not include my co-stars.

[00:44:05]Hey Daddy, sorry about that.

[00:44:10]What do you think, Daddy? Is it a boring video? Not very exciting.

[00:44:16]George, can we get your opinion?

[00:44:21]No. Really, your honest opinion. Don't hold back.

[00:44:32]What are you going to do, George?

[00:44:37]Are you going to go bother Daddy?

[00:44:43]I guess they like to be talked to. At least George does.

[00:44:50]So, back to it. When am I going to see you again? I'm going to see you again tomorrow.
