It's gonna solve all those weird things that Vista keeps doing that orbits is gonna go up all the you know I'm making ten to 15%. And it's going to be awesome XP users you're so last century."

" First off it won't even install -- you have what Microsoft considers bad drivers like number that PDA users -- quite a few people found out their sound card drivers -- on the happiness for Microsoft in fact.

If you got a spare bandwidth wanna download it might solve your problems. But you know I just don't see any benefit. Yet."

" Well certainly it's hardly ringing endorsement fact not even -- personality because everything is. When you release the service packs people have an expectation of what traditionally. It's the service pack for every -- a lot of people traditionally. You know or at least over the last couple editions of windows as a as a longtime windows user you go okay okay we use -- in the it is just deal with stuff -- move on this is little more frustrating but traditionally from people who were conservative you wait for the service pack service pack bundles that I huge stack of upgrade to performance improvements and everybody's cool it's time to upgrade -- It's basically. Bundle of disappointment. Microsoft oh lord why -- why did you release it if something did happen eight. As a dinner he would featured on yeah. -- But you know it and Vista was considered a robust and finalize the operating system not that I'm bitter but even even the rest of that -- the fan boy.

He says by experience that Dell has a very good one also Abrams has given by no matter that what. CPU bios and all that. And you may end up buying it incompatible parks and a lot of you mentioned that he'd be actually has really good online documentation once you've booted out for -- particular notebook yes several people -- about that we should also added that Abraham. Mentioned that basically he's like like I usually call parts upgrades department get the part number and look -- on and it -- this saves a lot of money now I'll always look at for the cheap way but can transport your vendors if you use their tech support services is kind of it's a -- money but it's kind of you're gonna spend half an hour tech support. Try to do something in exchange for the time."

" Not mentioning now last week segments we did the whole thing do DIY MacBook charger for your automobile.

" Going to charger battery we found that out -- confirm this it's not just us in the yet pace and updated to reflect that. So you're pretty much done telling everyone how much he harbors. A well the first -- harbors for I don't like four of them. They're wonderful and and I guess if you want to not use it battery charge -- you want to shape in the car there especially useful for the I even your make me nervous and I just pointless portable deep -- seeking -- it snack on media rush hour -- excel mobile versions of those truck stops asking how right now. I don't want to know enough about power birders -- up about fried food -- up about rush hour traffic at the is that we paid the bills.

" Yes it's caught tore -- an acronym. For the onion routers like that. And that they referred to as the underground because it works on multiple layers much like an onion. So essentially what -- does as people sign up for toward can become part of the Tor network. In watcher and part of Tor network your note they actually have a great illustration here on the Tor project would say if you could see if you become. Or I joined the Tor network will pretend we're Alastair. The connect to the -- we're gonna be cricket as you get into the torn network with the encryption -- what you're doing for localized genius behind is that it's actually designed for anonymity so what happens is you ping -- through all these notes are picking up. Their IPs that you send out requests and as it leaves the final note out into the open while the Internet. That IP that shows up will not be the ones that are currently using. This is an open source -- us what you volunteers they've they've -- Tor routers so it's kind of a cloud it's an encrypted yet secret clout in tunneling how to kind of almost it you can liquids are acknowledges it's exactly. The great thing though is it does not cost anything to you and it's free. The only thing you really need to do is download in February properties so user local client earlier this year yes. So essentially what happens is when you download poor and and and use OS-X right here. This is the front and Ford and what happens is it runs a local server on your machine so what happens is. When you connect. Actually not connecting with Iran and connecting to the Internet actually first connecting to do whatever until yet to -- application running in years. Network in fact it's -- prior to this. So the beauty is right now I have bug Google running in safari running through Tor as you can see donated ritual search for Google it came it at the poll which. Google because the guys IP again that was one located important I'm looking for poll results -- sort of manually is that you can you can you can go somewhere else. Hopefully movement as you can actually to hit this and you can tell how slow it is right now because essentially going. Across the -- That would be neat primary limitation -- tour analyses get a new IP and now on the German Google. It's Adam Nathan and to show it's just not my laptop I can actually surf through Firefox which is actually operating independently. Of the -- they can do one on Patrick so because basically -- your packets all around the Internet and that may be going the other side of the world to grab your exactly it can be you have these huge lag time -- it. And in fact -- really funky tool which I love it's called view that network. And that's that you can see people at the screen. All these are the little server nodes are tornadoes across the planet you'll find a bunch of this. So okay were bouncing from like. Looks like Virginia to like Germany or Poland and back kid at once what's your information is in the clout they Trace it back from you know the polish page through -- back in my house they can only track the last. -- note on the server everything within the tour cloud itself only knows the next ones so. In other words they only you can only Trace it back when that you can't face it access and -- yeah essentially to sell. So that like the style network. So get you know that's that's kind of where the the the anonymity comes from -- collapsing like you have twelve minutes the last note that lead to leads up to natural server that's the -- they can. Spot I'm not gonna go on -- the he would take them ten yes but the this summary. Yet if you were really concerned about you know people tracking it down you know. Either because of personal doing what you're looking yeah. Towards agreement ago. That said you know you you're gonna pay a price in the speed in me because you're doing all this ping pong. Around you're not gonna get high speeds so if you have you know that DSL connection you can and even its squash it back definitely 2030 K. It is -- cable whatever it is it's built. And it in the final thing is you know anonymity not securities to do not pretend this is some sort of secure you know fort Knox. Encrypted. Network that you can freely -- and encrypted you know email is encrypted in any information aside. Numbers take all the same precautions you normally would.

" should be a fundamental skills are by every heat what you're putting together electronics get. Going to repair busted wire or just for simple -- credential or because David. Reminded me that having -- giant pile of cable is kind of stupid when you're doing audio file green -- so David and I are gonna walk -- through the basics of soldering. You have probably -- more. Cable and wire that anyone else right now and kind of break actually probably in this room along basically when your soldering -- you to pencil or not done."

" Right you need a pencil iron and basically they actually come in different diameter tips and hugely different tips for different in different manufacturers. As important things well now I do I tell people kind of -- smaller you can. Because you can always go a little bit bigger you have Washington. Or regulate Meehan had herself seven -- arms to answer house."

" For -- was the giving you want avoid like 8000 -- to -- Iraq -- like it's like you're gonna that must be better if your -- like double zero cable that's going into you know maybe the starter in your car those -- if you're doing electronic small wires or specially electronics kids fifteen to thirty watts. Is more than you need britney's mobile RadioShack so K Weller makes probably would you consider those the creme de La creme."

" The -- the top of the line they can look for -- if you're gonna go higher end and you weren't you must then maybe like fifty bucks and soldering -- Is go for one with that of volume control knob on its. Like this one's about sixty bucks of store that's not too bad and it comes full with everything you need you know stand in the -- in the volume control. -- the that temperature control which is very important. 6040 -- course -- are pretty much the basic standard for electronic that's 90% in the standard out there people get above that -- and brad you know lead solder was you know if you value your life won't use for the."

" And you know. Now he rest for the -- which -- a piece of code error couple emails and a block away if it has come with a fancy stand and it's a sponge I've used everything from kitchen sponge."

" the ones built -- what's what's the point of the spot please respond Willis funds is that you get a lot of film that actually builds up on the end of the soldering -- Sutter and away might has the plastic is the whole. Copper or tin or whatever that wires made out of literally just that way to win put the black gone -- So people who just sit there kind of clean firearms. You can see that this is it odd that tip there is at the tip is really clean ministers to work its way back and get less and less clean. Right there. So that's basically a light use on that and that -- at the start -- the pointed -- replaced it that usually classics but not too bad. Now we've got a bunch of you have a bunch of them. -- it just spring clamps now a thing as is that that you have their hands and do you have -- than when I get hard -- I have you know my 200 dollar clamps that there. Were the three dollars -- from home -- fine."

" So we Goddard we've got our clips were using this this and -- one of cool guy connectors. Basically it is to hold the metal object -- your fingertips. Because the entire thing will become hot they're very -- talk about soccer and track. Basically. There aren't so now I have to hack at what I always start with hitting the tit for those of us and anybody that's. So -- before it starts covering this is when you basically if you're using featuring literally -- treat this particular one viewed going to wires together you're gonna slight heat shrink over -- it -- fire could you can't ad featuring the wires -- you know about cutting apart solder them again. So both are good at -- do we start retaining the iron if necessary every time you you start this process."

" Well I consider -- as something necessary when you're gonna attach it to a flat surface or anything it's not pool. When you start working with you know could connectors like RCA's of the and these are even some RS. You don't necessarily ten the wire you can actually just clearly pool. -- here entertainment connector and that interest says look easier way to work. Another important thing is make sure you do put they actually that I strength on and the -- caller on or you'll be sorely lost."

" if you do you do this the first I've got a brand new Saturn aren't if you wanted to and that basically. By you because basically you're gonna have these shiny tip that's going to be black and credit up like this one. I would sexy pretty -- demise you're gonna melts the bit of sauter on the end of that pretty. -- fabulous surface what you with -- giant balls solder I don't like that office on."

" Now you wipe out all those funds now basically because this is actually you know 64 -- of personal -- kind of just flux the tip so announced a little more lubricate it out. You clamped down RCA cable clamp down -- RCA cable. And I'll bring my sauter all the way over. And one important thing safety concern here he makes we have really good ventilation these schemes are extremely --"

" It's -- have a window open on the side and there is air moving through here so yeah we have you."

" Oneself well basically do them fill this little center pot right here. And now -- convinced -- take the slaughter. And cut it to the pox I wanted to build a warm ahead and start to fill up."

" No want to put that you're not heeding the solder if you were joining like two wires together and and you heat the wires from underneath that sort of press the solder down from about that you want the -- it went into it. You want to wicked here you don't want to touch the Saturn and dishonored itself. His you know it. If you touch the solder like he sought to retain if you touch the solder the Aaron it's gonna melt immediately. That's great except that the worst possible way to -- components to a border or cables to an end to just -- up a little bit to look how fast that melts and there."

" You really really Milton there and basically even after heated in their business -- there's no way around if you actually are gonna get types they iron kind of have an all. You went holy in this kind of make it make a solid mass inside the whole got it and now I have my nice pretty little bubble honest."

" All right so. We filled the cup now we're gonna start soldering wires and solid wire Amber's gonna do the -- the center wire."

" And how to fill up -- read it. Until it becomes them you know to let -- be used again it in this whose. And set it down into the hole that's kind of fanatic and -- backwards that they can see it on camera now shows my mad props for soldering skills."

" So I heard about a billion. Expect at your career. So now I'm gonna freed up and that they evaluate the connector here. And when I'm look and fourth and making sure that this shielding is as close to the caller is possible thing. And that's this water's nice and clean shiny and it looks dull it's cold joint and you want to do it correct and -- enforcement sure there's no slaughter accidentally and that. Y partners would -- out against the ground wire."

" Cool to us out of the other one. Now if you were. Basically doing too well wires together we -- at this point at least you have your your. Let's pretend here for a moment you're you're heat shrink tubing. That you slit on here you would slide it back over so it's covering all of the copper. And normally you would of course not wireless -- particular wiring this to something else you would slide. The -- back over. Not holding it at your fingertips the singer and use your heat gun which -- use on set because it's super loud you're over favors or that with the lowest setting on the heat -- because of the -- and finding that the melting everything. And that. You know set this down on the ground or that prop itself up don't. You know we've I don't -- going to your fingers and can hurt believed to be bad so we have --"

" So now what I've done is the other wire. You'll notice is that basically run it through the hole with in the thought it was RCA isn't -- people and a little holder for. Easily dishonor to the outside and call it done but what you do is. Threaded through the inside whole little wires -- this is gonna protect you from shortened highlight that on to on the higher and pros and higher end cable. They take a small piece that he -- mean and they put it over the center wire and cover and it's her post just so there's no short just in case that's hard -- So. I don't think that's necessary."

" There you see is here have known too much fun don't but he does Oakland -- and then he would -- answer some questions yes actually and I also want to say. I happen to really like like my keeper cable PCBs. -- because you know they actually of the system I was using one like when -- point -- yet no money actually get a group will be changed out ripped up torn up or C cables. So I'd like my. Although 50000 dollar speaker connects like whole -- there's a testimonial. That I liked it and look up going to shortly we've been extremely.

You must be from the UK really draining on my laptop it would be great if I get more usage time before having to charge that is where you can now it's. Oftentimes he'd have to -- the battery for the manufacturers that alone in the case -- actually it was a -- or a lot you can you for your notebook or just about nothing sub notebooks you have an extra life for a higher power options like our options -- watt power options depending on the on the brand and it'll either basically look exactly the same or maybe stick a little farther on the back of your of your notebook. And I've seen him go take a notebook for like two hours of battery life the five hours of battery life. Those are usually available for the manufacturer there are third party sites but I tend to like the source."

" Now of course are things you can do to mitigate power usage of one of those for example is to turn down the screen brightness as well as turn off a Wi-Fi if you're not surfing online using anything that requires like because.

There are expensive. -- collector by case but they're big honking giant chunks of -- are about ten to twelve. Hours of battery life if you will be carried out and typically they're they're -- they're designed to be so. Right and your notebooks -- you can use to monitor placed it into one of the transatlantic business like the -- of amusement US. You have enough teams to actually do useful work instead of having open yeah limit and and I've I have to admit I've still not been brave enough to carry need to -- you'd be doing yourself portable power actually built on the very first episode of Texas which has twelve times seven something watt hours -- click well before you start spending money on you know banners that might wear out -- definitely it. And they will wear yeah batteries on the cheaper nova and a well faster yet that's because you know. -- this city and it and it lithium ion -- you get what you pay for it may explode on fire but they will definitely die out maybe a year year -- happens and of two to three and -- if there's any kind of conditioning -- that even built and a laptop or utility there's a couple of free utilities.

Or or just actually running your battery down so basically you get that whole thing works like but preset power that it isn't it shut down. Basically. As much power batteries can't.

" Now it's interesting it want to thank Peter for writing and has actually that the high definition button you know watch a higher quality version of this video is our initial what you do especially newer stuff. I type this in a bunch -- videos and I gotta say I couldn't see the difference it looked like the same size video both cases but we -- that toss that out everybody in the audience and experiment with it.

" Yes it's caught tore -- an acronym. For the onion routers like that. And that they referred to as the underground because it works on multiple layers much like an onion. So essentially what -- does as people sign up for toward can become part of the Tor network. In watcher and part of Tor network your note they actually have a great illustration here on the Tor project would say if you could see if you become. Or I joined the Tor network will pretend we're Alastair. The connect to the -- we're gonna be cricket as you get into the torn network with the encryption -- what you're doing for localized genius behind is that it's actually designed for anonymity so what happens is you ping -- through all these notes are picking up. Their IPs that you send out requests and as it leaves the final note out into the open while the Internet. That IP that shows up will not be the ones that are currently using. This is an open source -- us what you volunteers they've they've -- Tor routers so it's kind of a cloud it's an encrypted yet secret clout in tunneling how to kind of almost it you can liquids are acknowledges it's exactly. The great thing though is it does not cost anything to you and it's free. The only thing you really need to do is download in February properties so user local client earlier this year yes. So essentially what happens is when you download poor and and and use OS-X right here. This is the front and Ford and what happens is it runs a local server on your machine so what happens is. When you connect. Actually not connecting with Iran and connecting to the Internet actually first connecting to do whatever until yet to -- application running in years. Network in fact it's -- prior to this. So the beauty is right now I have bug Google running in safari running through Tor as you can see donated ritual search for Google it came it at the poll which. Google because the guys IP again that was one located important I'm looking for poll results -- sort of manually is that you can you can you can go somewhere else. Hopefully movement as you can actually to hit this and you can tell how slow it is right now because essentially going. Across the -- That would be neat primary limitation -- tour analyses get a new IP and now on the German Google. It's Adam Nathan and to show it's just not my laptop I can actually surf through Firefox which is actually operating independently. Of the -- they can do one on Patrick so because basically -- your packets all around the Internet and that may be going the other side of the world to grab your exactly it can be you have these huge lag time -- it. And in fact -- really funky tool which I love it's called view that network. And that's that you can see people at the screen. All these are the little server nodes are tornadoes across the planet you'll find a bunch of this. So okay were bouncing from like. Looks like Virginia to like Germany or Poland and back kid at once what's your information is in the clout they Trace it back from you know the polish page through -- back in my house they can only track the last. -- note on the server everything within the tour cloud itself only knows the next ones so. In other words they only you can only Trace it back when that you can't face it access and -- yeah essentially to sell. So that like the style network. So get you know that's that's kind of where the the the anonymity comes from -- collapsing like you have twelve minutes the last note that lead to leads up to natural server that's the -- they can. Spot I'm not gonna go on -- the he would take them ten yes but the this summary. Yet if you were really concerned about you know people tracking it down you know.

" should be a fundamental skills are by every heat what you're putting together electronics get. Going to repair busted wire or just for simple -- credential or because David. Reminded me that having -- giant pile of cable is kind of stupid when you're doing audio file green -- so David and I are gonna walk -- through the basics of soldering. You have probably -- more. Cable and wire that anyone else right now and kind of break actually probably in this room along basically when your soldering -- you to pencil or not done."

" Right you need a pencil iron and basically they actually come in different diameter tips and hugely different tips for different in different manufacturers. As important things well now I do I tell people kind of -- smaller you can. Because you can always go a little bit bigger you have Washington. Or regulate Meehan had herself seven -- arms to answer house."

" For -- was the giving you want avoid like 8000 -- to -- Iraq -- like it's like you're gonna that must be better if your -- like double zero cable that's going into you know maybe the starter in your car those -- if you're doing electronic small wires or specially electronics kids fifteen to thirty watts. Is more than you need britney's mobile RadioShack so K Weller makes probably would you consider those the creme de La creme."

" The -- the top of the line they can look for -- if you're gonna go higher end and you weren't you must then maybe like fifty bucks and soldering -- Is go for one with that of volume control knob on its. Like this one's about sixty bucks of store that's not too bad and it comes full with everything you need you know stand in the -- in the volume control. -- the that temperature control which is very important. 6040 -- course -- are pretty much the basic standard for electronic that's 90% in the standard out there people get above that -- and brad you know lead solder was you know if you value your life won't use for the."

" And you know. Now he rest for the -- which -- a piece of code error couple emails and a block away if it has come with a fancy stand and it's a sponge I've used everything from kitchen sponge."

" the ones built -- what's what's the point of the spot please respond Willis funds is that you get a lot of film that actually builds up on the end of the soldering -- Sutter and away might has the plastic is the whole. Copper or tin or whatever that wires made out of literally just that way to win put the black gone -- So people who just sit there kind of clean firearms. You can see that this is it odd that tip there is at the tip is really clean ministers to work its way back and get less and less clean. Right there. So that's basically a light use on that and that -- at the start -- the pointed -- replaced it that usually classics but not too bad. Now we've got a bunch of you have a bunch of them. -- it just spring clamps now a thing as is that that you have their hands and do you have -- than when I get hard -- I have you know my 200 dollar clamps that there. Were the three dollars -- from home -- fine."

" So we Goddard we've got our clips were using this this and -- one of cool guy connectors. Basically it is to hold the metal object -- your fingertips. Because the entire thing will become hot they're very -- talk about soccer and track. Basically. There aren't so now I have to hack at what I always start with hitting the tit for those of us and anybody that's. So -- before it starts covering this is when you basically if you're using featuring literally -- treat this particular one viewed going to wires together you're gonna slight heat shrink over -- it -- fire could you can't ad featuring the wires -- you know about cutting apart solder them again. So both are good at -- do we start retaining the iron if necessary every time you you start this process."

" Well I consider -- as something necessary when you're gonna attach it to a flat surface or anything it's not pool. When you start working with you know could connectors like RCA's of the and these are even some RS. You don't necessarily ten the wire you can actually just clearly pool. -- here entertainment connector and that interest says look easier way to work. Another important thing is make sure you do put they actually that I strength on and the -- caller on or you'll be sorely lost."

" if you do you do this the first I've got a brand new Saturn aren't if you wanted to and that basically. By you because basically you're gonna have these shiny tip that's going to be black and credit up like this one. I would sexy pretty -- demise you're gonna melts the bit of sauter on the end of that pretty. -- fabulous surface what you with -- giant balls solder I don't like that office on."

" Now you wipe out all those funds now basically because this is actually you know 64 -- of personal -- kind of just flux the tip so announced a little more lubricate it out. You clamped down RCA cable clamp down -- RCA cable. And I'll bring my sauter all the way over. And one important thing safety concern here he makes we have really good ventilation these schemes are extremely --"

" It's -- have a window open on the side and there is air moving through here so yeah we have you."

" Oneself well basically do them fill this little center pot right here. And now -- convinced -- take the slaughter. And cut it to the pox I wanted to build a warm ahead and start to fill up."

" No want to put that you're not heeding the solder if you were joining like two wires together and and you heat the wires from underneath that sort of press the solder down from about that you want the -- it went into it. You want to wicked here you don't want to touch the Saturn and dishonored itself. His you know it. If you touch the solder like he sought to retain if you touch the solder the Aaron it's gonna melt immediately. That's great except that the worst possible way to -- components to a border or cables to an end to just -- up a little bit to look how fast that melts and there."

" You really really Milton there and basically even after heated in their business -- there's no way around if you actually are gonna get types they iron kind of have an all. You went holy in this kind of make it make a solid mass inside the whole got it and now I have my nice pretty little bubble honest."

" All right so. We filled the cup now we're gonna start soldering wires and solid wire Amber's gonna do the -- the center wire."

" And how to fill up -- read it. Until it becomes them you know to let -- be used again it in this whose. And set it down into the hole that's kind of fanatic and -- backwards that they can see it on camera now shows my mad props for soldering skills."

" So I heard about a billion. Expect at your career. So now I'm gonna freed up and that they evaluate the connector here. And when I'm look and fourth and making sure that this shielding is as close to the caller is possible thing. And that's this water's nice and clean shiny and it looks dull it's cold joint and you want to do it correct and -- enforcement sure there's no slaughter accidentally and that. Y partners would -- out against the ground wire."

" Cool to us out of the other one. Now if you were. Basically doing too well wires together we -- at this point at least you have your your. Let's pretend here for a moment you're you're heat shrink tubing. That you slit on here you would slide it back over so it's covering all of the copper. And normally you would of course not wireless -- particular wiring this to something else you would slide. The -- back over. Not holding it at your fingertips the singer and use your heat gun which -- use on set because it's super loud you're over favors or that with the lowest setting on the heat -- because of the -- and finding that the melting everything. And that. You know set this down on the ground or that prop itself up don't. You know we've I don't -- going to your fingers and can hurt believed to be bad so we have --"

" So now what I've done is the other wire. You'll notice is that basically run it through the hole with in the thought it was RCA isn't -- people and a little holder for. Easily dishonor to the outside and call it done but what you do is. Threaded through the inside whole little wires -- this is gonna protect you from shortened highlight that on to on the higher and pros and higher end cable. They take a small piece that he -- mean and they put it over the center wire and cover and it's her post just so there's no short just in case that's hard -- So. I don't think that's necessary."
