I honestly think Taran did a fantastic job with this, especially since he has the experience to successfully refer back to his own experiences dealing with this. Taran was probably a better suit for a video like this than Linus, in my opinion. Also, nice transition to the sponsorship.

I have a simple method of forcing myself to get up every 30-60 minutes: keep a glass of water at your desk, and you'll have to go refill it every so often, creating 30-120 second breaks reasonably often. Plus I keep myself very well hydrated. Sometimes I will grab a different drink, but it's the same effect. I also get the bonus of a cat jumping onto my desk every hour or so, demanding that I snuggle her, so that breaks up the monotony too.

Change your water and PC arrangement until any amount of tipping or nudging won't be able to get liquid onto your computer... I have my computer under the right side of the desk and make sure to keep any water (or other liquids) on the left side. Even if I really screw up, at worst I might lose my keyboard and some paperwork.

You guys are giving entire desk rearrangements as solutions, when the obvious thing to change is not the environment, but the liquid container. Always keep a capped thermos on your desks, especially the ones with a hygienically-covered spout that you can tuck away in a locked lid, and then open by pressing a release button whenever you wish to sip.

After a couple hours of gaming (or even less in most cases), I noticed that my arms and elbows were getting sore due to the hard wooden arm rests on my chair, or my shoulders would experience fatigue from hovering over the table/keyboard tray. A Logitech G13 advanced gameboard helped out while I would play, and it felt very comfortable. However, I still felt the shoulder/elbow pain because of my chair. At first I considered getting an attachable armrest for my desk like an ergo-arm. I ended up letting my husband split a neck pillow in half, and wrapped it around the arm rests of the chair and it's been comfortable ever since. Hooray for cheaper solutions! :D

If I may make a suggestion for the next As Fast As Possible video? How about a video on File Compression? (things like Zip files, or Rar files) I've always wanted to learn how the compression makes the file size smaller, even though technically it's still the same size. For example, say I'm downloading a 2GB file, but it's compressed into a 1GB Rar file, how does that speed up the download? I mean, I'm still getting a 2GB file, but only downloading 1GB. Then I'm able to uncompress it, and it's 2GB again. Of course, I might just be extremely dumb, but I really want to learn how it works.
@bubushum
@bubushum 9 жыл бұрын
it really depends on what your compressing too. They've already done a fast as possible on gifs (and why they suck because of compression) and video formats. - for example, basically, instead of changing every pixel colour every frame they only change a pixel colour when it's needed. This both reduces processing needed for the video and storage space needed.
@GhaithHachem
@GhaithHachem 9 жыл бұрын
Would indeed be a nice topic. Here's a short explanation written at 3 am. You have two types of compression, lossless and lossy. Lossless is where no information is lost during compression, this is what you would hope a compression software would have. Lossy means not all data is preserved, it's better suited for cat images and videos. Both are basically achieved by replacing big chunks of data with smaller ones. As Alexandra Pedro said getting rid of repeating symbols or replacing big common data with smaller one is one way to go. A 2GB file that is compressed to 1GB means you have half the download to worry about, meaning half the time and data bandwidth online. It is however not half the total time as this depends on how your program rebuilds the file. How this file becomes 2GB again is by knowing the algorithm that compressed it. Think of it as ordering a desk or a closet from IKEA, what you get is a very small "flattish" box that looks nothing like the finished product, and takes maybe 20% of its total space. You also get instructions on how to build the desk to get the original form you are expecting. The RAR file you downloaded is exactly that, a different organisation of your original file that takes up less space and a set of instructions to rebuild it.

Please Linus do a video on food and/or exercise. I understand the last people you would think would exercise are people using computers all day but people need to understand the importance of their health and know what they put into themselves. Many big YTers have been having major health issues and it has come to my mind that a majority of people also suffer from improper nutrition. It'll essentially be a tech quickie teaching us the importance of our bodies and how if we take care of them, then we can enjoy our wonderful PCs for a longer time period.

As a lifelong gamer who used to severely overweight, (295 pounds down to 189), I can confidently say I agree that it needs to be brought up. It's disturbing to me how many gamers and tech enthusiasts care nothing for their health. It's really kind of awesome being in shape when you get used to it, hell I like it so much I went and chose it as my career field and became a certified physical fitness trainer after I got out of the Army. I don't think everyone should try to get into that deep if they don't want to, but EVERYONE, gamer or no, needs to be reminded to be diligent when it comes to their nutrition and fitness. After all, who doesn't wanna live longer?

A great video explaining some of the basics of computer ergonomics however some of the most important elements of posture were not touched upon. Whilst many office chairs have lumbar support and height adjustment they are rarely properly positioned for an individual. You should be obtaining a 90 degree angle in your hip, knee and elbow joint (this is for users without back injury etc.) and the back rest should be adjusted correctly so that the lumbar support sits in the small of your back (or your lumbar region :) ). Not wanting to criticise Taran but leaning his forearms on the desk whilst working increases the chance of him leaning forward and away from his backrest. When I am doing Display Equipment Assessments it would be advised that he reposition his mouse and keyboard closer to the desk edge to allow him to push his seat back - this would allow him to work comfortably with his back fully supported without him leaning forward onto the desktop.

my differences: 1) monitor height: my eye is about lower third of my monitor. I find that this forces me to sit correctly to view the monitor. 2) glasses: I have three pairs, bifocals for every day use, reading for computer and farsighted when I am in nature. 3) Monitor: I keep my monitor near the minimum brightness for working. I use normal brightness for games and videos. 4) keyboard: I use a split keyboard. This prevents my hands from wondering. I also find it more comfortable with may hand a bit further apart. 5) desk: I use a wire rack and the keyboard rack sticks out. This sets my keyboard at a comfortable position. 6) excessive: I use the CICO method. I get up to get coffee and then I get up to let the coffee out.

I'm hoping those keymouse's, keymice... whatever.. are as good as they appear and their use become widespread. It's the first product like that which has really grabbed me as being a big step forward without all the steps back that others require.

But yeah, it needs some kind of scroll wheel. Some other trackballs use a ring around the ball, but all of those are built into a big square that makes it seem like it should be mounted on a podium or in an arcade machine rather than next to a keyboard.

My favorite was the vertical mouse. It was gifted to me, so I figured I'd give it a fair shake. Now, mind you, the user experience was atrocious and I gave up on it. The reason why it was my favorite? It's a wireless, vertical mouse. The way I naturally reached across my desk to grab it? I kept on batting it across the room.

i like the whole "use you desk at the right height and use it as your armrest" idea, but i would need a deeper desk and a new chair for that, but i'll keep it in mind.

I feel I'm close to an ergonomic setup for my needs. Comfy chair, mechanical keyboard with cherry MX blue switches, Logitech g502 mouse fits great in my hand and I just bought a height adjustable monitor so I'm not always looking down. Always wanted a pullout tray for my keyboard. Also for night time computer use consider using software called flux which adjusts the blue levels throughout the day so you don't strain your eyes

One thing my computer science teacher showed me is for every hour you stare at the screen and don't look away, look into a blank space on your wall and blink really fast for a couple seconds it "refreshes" your vision, and helps prevent eye strain

This is a great video. Great topic that's a bit out of left field with good information and presented well. If Taran was the one who worked on this video and script himself then job well done.

Taran's great! Maybe a couple too many mentions of other videos, though. Maybe add a section for additional info (links) at the end of the video when you make reference to more than a couple of vids instead?

My desk is way too tall for me use a computer on. It's about 34 in. Tall when 29 or even 30 would be a much more comfortable height. Typing is fine but It makes it hard to properly control my mouse since my elbows are way below my desk top. Idk how to fix this. My chair is at the max height and it's still too bad. Ugh

well you could custom order one and/or build one ... building one though will probably be cheaper though lower quality but more customization options as you get the full range of what you could do to it instead of just what is offered. The lower quality just because most ppl do not build tables for computers thus there are not that many guides on how to is all.

Well my chair is a perfectly normal height so I don't see how getting a new chair would help. The problem is my desk. I'll be buying a new desk eventually but I was looking for something that might help in the meantime. But I guess I can't help my desk being at chest height.

Wacom tablets are a blast for any kind of image edting (even video editing). As you have your hand resting on its side (like when writing), it helps having a far less painful wrist at the end of the day !

As a programmer who works way too many hours per day, sculpt ergonomic desktop is amazing. At first it was hard to get used to the split keyboard and odd shaped mouse. After a week or so of slow productivity I eventually got there. Using any other keyboard or mouse just feels awkward now.
