@@paulweston8184 I kinda have to disagree. Linus is an on screen character, and he’s touring the facility and asking questions for the intent of educating the audience. His goofiness and actions that may seem disrespectful are simply making the information more palpable for the audience than word vomit. On top of that Linus expressed how he is impressed with his tools, the finish and other various things throughout the video. I guess, in short, take it how you want it.

[@benjaminoechsli1941]

@holographicdreams Exactly. He's so used to jury-rigging everything because he isn't a professional in [area] that he expects things to go wrong the first time. It's easy to forget how a professional equipped with the tools for the job can work "miracles" when you have the mindset Linus would.

Can any RF engineers explain how the radio will react to this? Seems like a gold faraday cage.

[@ZergeSokolov]

well, because IT IS a gold faraday cage. Fine wire mesh does a great job blocking radio signals, a solid shield made of gold, one of the most conductive metals on this planet... I just wouldn't expect it to have the best wireless performance, if not at all. But it still has the USB port, you can still play games with it wired

[@alexisentonfire]

It's all fine

[@alexisrivera200xable]

It will work but it will have reduced range. How is it possible? The controller is not sealed shut and the bluetooth signal doesn't need to go very far so it works out. (It helps that there are many gaps in the shoulder buttons and triggers which is roughly the area where the bluetooth signal propagates from) That said I kinda expect around 5 feet of range to be on the upper limit before it starts acting up or losing connection.

[@hellterminator]

@@alexisrivera200xable Bluetooth runs at 2.4GHz, or a ~12cm wavelenght. Tiny cracks like that would let almost nothing through (hint: microwaves operate at the same frequency at ~1kW and the relatively coarse mesh in the door manages to keep enough in that it doesn't even disrupt your WiFi which is about 10000 times weaker). That being said, it *will* work because dumb shielding like this (not designed to use reflections to cause destructive interference) doesn't do much without grounding.
