Steve and Wendell's Excellent L1 Office Cleaning Adventure!

[@Level1Techs]

Thank you Steve and Vitalii for visiting us and helping us set up our new studio layout!! Sorry for the mess lol 😅 Check out @GamersNexus video about the tech hoard here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rorUlnxphNJkm9ksi=BKWQBNxcJJnffKWG

The jungle maze of pc parts love it!

where is kreestuh? 😢

[@GamersNexus]

hahahaha! I didn't know you just DUMPED THAT WHOLE BIN into a drawer! So that's what happened when you disappeared around the corner! I now know the first thing I am sorting next time. Huge props to your editors to cut an entire day of filming together like this. Came out great!

[@Level1Techs]

those drives are sadly headed to the shred pile anyways lol

[@FinnsLab]

@@Level1Techs seeing how you handled does drives made my heart stop beating for a second lol. Glad to hear does where dead drives :P

*_In this episode, Steve embraces his inner OCD organizer to help Wendell overcome his hoarder demons_*

[@eliotrulez]

Agree! I hope the next time, does not take years... I would suggest spring :)

[@wobblysauce]

There is so much just in case... we have all been there when we throw an item out just to need that thing the next day or even less.

[@AllSeeingEy3]

The nervous "someone else organizing my carefully curated chaos" laughter is relatable as hale.

[@youkofoxy]

Atleast Wendell is supervising. Imagine having it do and not being able to say, no.

[@DABranche]

@@youkofoxy Yeah lol. The name of the show is called "Hoarders"

[@jeremymerry7967]

wendell being a hoarder and steve helping him clean is not what i expected to see lol

[@Voyajer.]

I'd expect all the bigger tech reviewers are kind of hoarders in some sense

[@youkofoxy]

Is not hoarding, is Archiving. Can you not see, Wendell has a freaking museum, even the build is historical.

[@jeremymerry7967]

@@youkofoxy having shit strewn all over the place ground and buckets tipped sideways is not archiving lmfao

[@geeknime1284]

Thanks Steve

[@jeremymerry7967]

back to you steve

[@seanunderscorepry]

This is my favorite tech friendship and collaboration. I love these guys.

[@DissertatingMedieval]

Also the sense in both videos of Wendell bringing out his treasures to show off to Steve has some real introvert friend vibes, which I like. I also really like Steve sort of saying "hey, you mentioned this cool thing for our video -- mention it to your folks as well."

[@Gunni1972]

Before/after, i was surprised just how much bigger the Studio looked. Now Wendell has new space for "Mad computer scientist" experiments. Great stuff. A hoarder pro-tip: If you are overwhelmed by what you have, just put a label on whatever shelve/drawer you have, of what you think should be there. Everytime you pass by, and see something, NOT mentioned by the label, you'll go: Why is that here, and not there, where i put the label? And over time, you'll put the things, where the label is. It really helps taking off "pressure".

[@dozerd42]

I like this! Someone with non-judgmental pro tips for helping with "tech hoarder syndrome"! Thank you!

[@TooLazyToFail]

Dude. Super proud of you for publishing this. It's frickin' hard to invite someone into your space and start making changes to it. Good work, vulnerability leads to successful outcomes. Keep it up, my friend!

[@teknologyguy5638]

Seriously you guys need to do this every year. Very entertaining content and it's great to see behind the scenes.

[@thesatiricalmoose6452]

MY NERDGASM and OCD WENT THROUGH THE ROOF POSITIVELY AND LOVED EVERY SECOND OF THIS VIDEO! A lot things I LEARNED and applying in my LIFE!!!

[@abavariannormiepleb9470]

Instead of a bunch of cats Wendell’s got 100 computers lurking around.

[@vulcanbrady]

Always a good day to see a Steve & Wendell collaboration video. I don't think you'd find more love for what they do and integrity for doing it well in any other two people on KZbin. You guys rock!

[@emptywig]

4:00 Glad I'm not the only person who just dumps stuff in drawers when I need to clean up.

[@DreuScuhDoo]

Steve's impeccable sense of detail and order is nothing short of inspiring. I JUST finished organizing most of my room by category and I feel so much better.

[@RobertJene]

I love Steve's tape trick with the cross pointing at the subject and settings written in marker. I've been using tape already to mark tripod locations but not to that extent.

[@RoadCase]

Production lighting guy here - industry term for the tape on the floor is "spike" or "spike mark". My preferred way to remove gaff residue is to use a fresh strip of gaff tape applied firmly to the old gunk. In our world the spikes are never down on stage that long. Good work guys!

[@Level1Techs]

Nice, I did not know that was the term! I know about c-47s though, so at least I have that going for me lol ~Editor Autumn

[@GertrudeFilthbasket]

4:06 I'm just thinking of all the ESD bags those devices came in... GRAB...CHUCK....GRAB...CHUCK! i remember working in a place where the manager was "OMG you gotta get those in the ESD bags! destiny depends on it!" then i'd go home and treat all my spare parts JUST like Wendell. and everything was fine. they're still fine. it's all fine

[@JohnDoe-bm2nu]

Achievement unlocked: cleanliness I would suggest 1.) raise the TV about one foot. 2.) put the Level1Techs logo on the TV (full screen).

[@ngtflyer]

I am in the hospital and after watching hours of tv home renovations (omg.. everything needs to be white and gray.. and who needs this wall between the bathroom and bedroom) this was a ton of fun to watch

[@EhNothing]

I truly love this collab. Two of the last trustworthy youtube channels coming together, and I'm here for it.

[@A77ick]

Steve: the Master of PC Airflow and office workflow

[@noah3384]

24:00 what you want is Spike tape, used in stage theatre, doesn’t leave residue and fluorescent

[@Fr4kTh1s]

Sorry for caps, but... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS COLLAB! Wendel, if you sort and stack the stuff... You can actually hoard even more because you will have more space for it! I love the "treasure hunt", when Steve strays from the planend course and just ... picks up something random... You never know what he finds and everything has (hi)story :)

[@Maldroth]

You could be next and get a visit from Steve in the next Gamers Nexus studio makeover

[@dozerd42]

Yes, please! 😀

[@mark601]

TechTubers assemble! Wendell needs you and you (and we, his clients and customers) owe him that for all the hours and times he's saved us! Love you Wendell 😁

[@OwlishGeorge]

I've been watching Wendell for a long ass time, Tek days, and never realized how much I relate to his state of mind regarding old tech. Everything has a use, everything has a place, and that place is... everywhere.

[@docbrody]

Somehow I find it incredibly satisfying to watch other people clean up and get organized.

[@jkfdkjjd]

I cant believe steve wanted to throw out anti static bags... like have you ever had one too few of them before STEVE!? THROW THEM OUT!?

[@ciano5475]

At some point you can sort them by size and prune the pile

[@ishb3w]

you know it's time to get serious when steve pulls the hair back

[@KastanDay]

Thanks for doing this Steve! It's great to see the community just helping each other out. You've always set a high bar for ethics and neighborly good behavior.

[@YABBAHEY1]

Bros helping Bros, nice to see. Non localization outdoor shot would be cool judging by building's age. Neatness is next to happiness

[@Trasselkalle]

Appreciated. I am starting to feel better about our lab space... and also a bit odd because watching someone else clean up and organize was oddly satisfying!

[@mega_goat]

laughs "so how long you knowen stacy" "thanks Steve"

[@dangerwr]

No wonder you two are my favourite people ever. Random organization AND OCD. ❤

[@dangerwr]

P.S. Sweet Wendell, The Longest Journey is one of my favourite Point and Clicks, too. That whole series is awesome.

[@Crackalacking_Z]

Can't believe Wendell made Steve clean up his stuff XD

[@macbeardie]

4:08 The hard drives going in the drawer...ouch

[@neuronic85]

Grimaced on that right before I saw your message, but let's be honest: they're probably small undesirable SATA disks. I'd throw a 1TB in a drawer too. If I found out those were mega-terabyte beauties, I'd think about all the legit movies I could put on there and get sad.

[@emptywig]

I related to that so hard!

[@Gunni1972]

@@emptywig I actually flinched a bit when i heard that sound. Bad memories of 15k RPM raptors resurfaced.

Wendell and the Steve. Easy click!

[@syerkes]

Watching this, makes me feel good as I have the same basement of 20 years worth of enterprise gear. When I get a call for some NetApp or 3PAR or Gen 8-11 HPE server / etc. Yeah....I have that. What you lost a MSA2040 Fiber controller....I have 10. What you are running a C7000. No problem. Let me hit the bone yard. My spouse knows that every cable is "special". There is just no easy way to sort / store and catalog some many Jenga parts. Well done IT hoarding clean team.

[@randomviewer3494]

Do you ever get those calls tho?

[@mageprometheus]

Perfect music. Took me right back to the Apollo launches.

[@christophersands4140]

This was incredibly healing for me. I think we all have a little tech horder inside us.

[@EminemLovesGrapes]

Living in a small space due to current economy stuff you really learn to make the most of verticality. Shelving is really a must but also having stuff mounted on walls (like one of those ikea shoe bags) and having drawers under beds/desks etc. Organising is really a skill, and worth knowing.

[@strangersound]

Steve: Stressed out. 😱 Wendell: Can't be bothered. 🙃

[@pseudocoder78]

This is great, pretty much the same type of system I have for organizing tech things at home, except on a much larger scale. The great news is Wendell has a huge amount of space to work with, looks like. Would love to see more steps on this journey, as silly as that sounds.

[@titaniummechanism3214]

"Hey, I would like that dual 1G NIC card!" "Ok. How many rooms full of hardware do you have?" "About three, but I could fit it all into one if I wanted to!" "I'll give to someone else, I'm doing you a favor"

[@DennisMarwood]

For me, throwing things away is a bit painful. But trying to keep it all organized is taxing. I end up spending too much time trying to organize it all and make it fit. If I have not used it in a year I try to make myself chuck it (or I put it in a donate pile that never seems to leave the garage). Fun video, thanks.

[@envagyokzaz]

Kudos on the boxed TLJS! What a throwback.

[@MikeOHara1479]

Absolutely loved the timing of Also Sprach Zarathustra in the video!

[@dozerd42]

This is a video I didn't know I needed! If you are on the fence about watching the whole thing, please enjoy 22:50 where zombie Golden Girls are mentioned! I laughed so hard my neighbors almost complained! Anyway, Steve seems to genuinely love organizing...also Wendell is just your favorite teddy bear like usual! I love it! 😀

[@KunoMochi]

That Number 5 model from Short Circuit under the CO2 monitor is honestly one of the coolest media set pieces you have there. I haven't seen anyone put up a Number 5 or Johnny 5 model or figure in years! Or at least one at that scale, which I think is the same replica size as the toys used in Short Circuit 2.

[@yogugl]

I get nervous anxiety watching this video. Hats off for organizing the place. The beginning is the hardest 👍

[@electricindigoball1244]

1:23 to be honest I think Wendell would do great as an audiobook narrator.

[@dozerd42]

I agree

[@Whalerguy]

I'd listen

[@waregeeksny]

I have a suggestion for both of you: How about donating some of the older pictures, laptops, and servers to local schools and/or tech clubs? The same goes for all the components you have lying around.

[@GamersNexus]

We already do that all the time. The local computer engineering classroom is almost entirely GN hardware at this point.
