Livakivi is such a chad. From learning Japanese out of fun to turning an abandoned store into a house to flying 9000km with 2 4090s

From the title of the video I thought you used the rtx 4090 as a turbine to take to the sky and cross the ocean :D

god i love livakivi. i also love seeing him struggle with linux. brings back memories (im still struggling)

5:13 "as well as some additional parts which weren't for myself" - Girlfriend reveal when??

You’ve been a major inspiration for me picking Japanese up again thanks!

Yoooooo new upload! Finally the 日本人じゃない man is in 日本！

Not really much at all considering my worthless currency, but wanted to express my support. Keep it up! I love the channel and aspire to someday be like you! (not a content creator necessarily, but rather to be as dedicated to the things i love)

Respect for bringing rugbrød on the trip

Absolutely in love with your editing style. Awesome video!

Thank you for making yet another great video. I am excited to see what you are going to create next!

glad to see a livakivi video again!

great little video but god I can't wait for your japan trip! love your content always 💖💖

That was such a nice video! genuinely can't wait for the Japan arc

I must have missed your vid about trip planning? How long will you be in Japan? What cities/areas will you be visiting? Have you got any special/bucket list activities/places planned? What sort of accommodation will you be staying in and how did you book it? Enquiring minds need to know this important information! 🤓

Man, i just can't wait to see the content you'll be making here in japan it's gonna be a great arc

can't wait for vlog I'm super exited

I can't wait to see if livakivi would do a vlog he always has interesting insights.

I have to say, your accent/voice is very nice to listen to. I don't know why, but it's very satisfying. Thanks for making videos ^w^

I love your videos, the topic doesn't matter, I appreciate the "speaking out loud" in your planning and learning journey.

I am tripping right now. 10 minutes ago I was asking myself the same question (Could I fly to Japan with my Desktop computer), and I have have a very similar config. You uploaded your video 1 HOUR AGO

I really like your content, i hope you can continue making more

In your last video, you said you're going to visit Japan in the future... this is was way sooner than I expected 😂 so excited for you!! and hope your first flight went well ❤

I binge watched your renovation series the other day, loved it, Thought I was just gonna spend my time on one video last weekend but did the whole series haha. I wanted to share a title suggestion for this video, you don't have to listen to this, thought I just wanted to share because I like coming up with titles lol : "My First flight to Japan didn't go as expected"

I can't believe he finally did it. It's hilarious that you basically have the same idea as me in building a SFF PC before going to Japan because the market prices there are so wack. Anyways, good video and I hope you enjoy Japan as much as I did. Been a long time coming.

Can't wait for the full japan trip video, it's been a long time in the making.

Amazing content! 好き！

Watching these videos feels like watching a anime. Really keeps me hooked

I'm planning to board the same plane (Warsaw - Tokyo Narita) so I'm really excited to see how smooth your travel went.

Finally in Japan, woohoo !! Super happy you finally are getting to experience it and profit from all those hard years of work.

Thanks for your content!

Loved it! Keep it up!

Noice wideo as always :D

I'm very excited to see Japan videos ❤‍🔥

I just built an sffpc (3070 +12400f in a Velka 7), built it 5 days ago, and now you upload a video of you building one This can't be a coincidence

I couldn't wait for this episode after the interview with brodie in tech over tea.

I hope you enjoy your time in Japan!

I thought you were joking when you said this in Brodies podcast. Have a good time in japan :)

i just bought a itx stuff last night so this is a good video already

excited to see the trip!

Bro turned an abandoned store into a great place to live, an absolute gym beast and has now flown a bunch of kilometers with a top-end mini PC...)

Can't wait for the videos from Japan!

Keep a count of how many 日本語上手 comments are made in your time there

Im moving to fukuoka next month, guess ill do the same , thanks for the vids

Yooo dude Japan is gonna be fun 🎉

2400 euro for that part list is insane

I have that same PC case. It fits perfectly in a sewing machine bag.

4:07 hell yeah linux content, love it, daily drove it for quite a while, but dropped when I built my first ever PC back in december last year, bcs my Wifi adapter doesn't have a linux driver hehe. Honestly been thinking about buying a new adapter that works with it and come back to the penguin once again, maybe this future linux video helps me to make a decision. Love your content dude, I would help with the patreon and stuff if I wasn't a kinda poor brazilian XD.

Your videos are extremely relatable. Very satisfying to watch, a lot because I have very similar in the same situations. It looks like you are going to daily drive Linux again because your macOS experience gave you a different appreciation of workflow, and with your new knowledge of customization you might be able to get workflow better than you have ever had before. Is this correct?

Liva with that vlogger type impact subtitling at the start

3:07 nice fractal. I've got the same case

i dont really know what to say, hope you have a good time in Japan! 🎉🎉🎉

I ended up being too afraid to take my desktop in a checked bag. Although...we had way too much stuff we needed to take with us to justify throwing in the desktop. Ended having it mailed to our new address and made sure there was a lot of padding in the box. Luckily, everything was in tact. Glad that yours was as well! Enjoy your time here, man!

When I travelled I just took the parts out of the case, psu and cooler in checked luggage and everything else in my carry-on. Then I just bought a new case when I arrived lol

Wow, I didn't even know small factor pc is a thing. Now I want one for myself xD Thanks :)

What's your plan for a monitor? Are you just thinking of purchasing one there then sell it at an electronics shop before returning? Glad you made it safe though and hope your trip is good! I imagine if you're taking a full PC you'll be there for some time so I look forward to all content to come!

>nvidia gpu >linux oh man, that's gonna be a spicy video

from learning Japanese to flying to japan it's been a great journey mate.

kalev chocolate and rye bread my beloved estonia represent 😤

W liva

Thanks for sharing. Have a very similar story, went from considering a laptop to building NR200 with 4090 and a portable 15.6 4K OLED monitor. I haven't traveled with it yet but planned to split 4090 and PC between two carry-on luggage (will have two tickets). Definitely will not put it in checked baggage, I'm not that brave.

Thanks

Definitely looking forward to the new linux video USE ARCH

Good luck in Japan!

Does liva ever have a differing interest from me? I'm switching to a similar itx build this year lol great video btw, cool seeing my name on one in the end for the first time

You could've actually done all the customs declaration and paperwork they gave you beforehand, online at Visit Japan Web. They give you 2 QR codes and you then just show the one they ask for at each station. Also I traveled from Germany to Japan with my full size desktop and did it similarly to you (taking out gpu, plus stuffing the inside with towels so nothing moves). It really just barely fit the biggest luggage I had, and arrived with no issues.

Thanks for sharing! I have also considered traveling with a desktop computer with high-end parts and my main concern was taxing. I'm not a frequent traveler but it seems like most countries require that any item exceeding certain values need to be declared and taxed. So what you did might be considered "smuggling", you just weren't inspected or caught and the authorities usually don't care, unless it's inappropriately large amount or value, like you obviously want to sell and profit from them. And if you didn't carry them with you and had shipped them instead, you most certainly would need to declare it and pay taxes in order to retrieve them from customs.

8:10 ayy ananass flavour is the best, you have good taste

I just watched your excellent video "ultimate guide to sentence mining". Thank you for explaining the steps and explaining the tools. I would never have figured out the process using ShareX and texthooker etc. without your instruction. I have some local files (I liked your non-piratical subliminal messaging) that I thought I'd try to mine. I don't have migaku so I"m using my own note type with about six fields I need to populate in Anki. I don't use yomichan but I'm using ten-ten which is similar I guess but I've never used yomichan. Ten-ten isn't integrated to anything so perhaps there's more manual cutting and pasting? Anyway, my question is: did you ever calculate what your average note creation time was making your pre-Migaku 4000 notes back in the day? I suppose I'll get better at the process as I make more notes, but so far I've created about 30 cards and it's taken me 2 hours, so that's about 4 minutes per card. Maybe I could shave that down to 2 minutes as I develop a creation flow, but...at this point it's very labour intensive and time-consuming. On the positive side, this exercise so far has shown me how much content was going over my head not pre-studying the vocab in the program I'm watching. Without preparation, the Japanese subs just fly by when the dialogue is fast. So the cards I'm making are invaluable for comprehension. The trade-off is that making them is time-consuming. Nevertheless, I agree with you that my custom-made cards are far superior to subs2srs batch creation cards. Btw, I posted this comment here on what is currently your latest video because I wasn't sure if you'd notice it if I commented on the sentence-mining video in question. 🙂

Ive also flewn from Europe to Korea nonstop to stay for a month couple times with my node 202 5800x 1080gtx built pc. Just stuffed it in the luggage as is. Case is good for that and theres not much wiggle space for the graphics card.

I did the same thing. 4 months ago I sidegraded my 5900x + 4090 desktop to a Fractal Design Terra ITX case and bring it to Japan.

Madman

Water-cooled 4090 in lianli q58 is carry-on able. Ek server waterblock and their sff CPU block with a 280 rad makes it possible. Did Perth to Vancouver no problems.

I think there's an app that lets you do the customs declaration in a much simpler way. I was sketched out by that form as well, but saw an ad for the app somewhere in the customs line at NRT and just did that instead.

Great video, helped me decide whether to buy a laptop or desktop. Also where did you buy the RTX 4090? I'm in Europe and I'm looking to buy all of those parts any recommendations? I'm in Serbia btw

Moved to Tokyo over 6 months ago downsized my PC into a formd T1 7950x3d and 4090. Well as you imagined life becomes very busy and I rarely touch the PC anymore. At least it was one last project to do before leaving.

Yo, mees. Ma pole juba aastaid vaadanud YT-is kedagi Eesti päritoluga, ausalt öeldes väga värskendav. Ma tunnen end väga uhkena ja patrootlikuna 👍Edu!

You're a chad for not purchasing the Lenovo laptop, I bought one in Jan 2021 and it died in June 2023, whereas I have an older Compaq Laptop from 2002 that still works.

Waiting for collab with Mudan. :p

Very information video. I was always curious about traveling with an ITX pc and you just answered most of my questions. Have fun in Japan🤗

Can't wait for the linux video

crazy

I brought my 24" screen it barely fitted in ly large luggage 😂 I planned taking my pc with me nexr time and prepared for this issue but in the end I came back to my home country and wont go back to japan yet Have fun in Japan ❤

1:49 Correction: Framework laptops have USB4, which is the open (not Intel-exclusive) version of Thunderbolt 4. It has the same features & capabilities as Thunderbolt.

Im trying to take a mini itx pc on a plane, do you think I would be allowed to take it inside my backpack or would i get stopped at security, im not planning to include any water cooled parts so im assuming its just the same as a laptop right?

Migaku has been updated to version 2, does your reference link still work with the new version? Because I'm thinking of purchasing the annual standard subscription

You should get formd t1 v2

Finally there is a reason for visiting japan

Hi liva!

I'm really curious what made you bother to bring the pc if the Macbook was decent for editing anyway, I get wanting it for your home but why bother with all that for a trip?

🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

1:51 - correction about Framework 16 -'No thunderbolt" ... it has 2 USB 4 40Gbps port - it's literally same as thunderbolt 4, "compatible but without "tax to intel "

This is exactly why I'm switching to an SFFPC.

it's extremely odd seeing a youtuber you occasionally watch explain in detail how they have the same laptop and sff case pc, for the exact same video editing reasons, going through exactly what you did flying except in my case i moved from the US to Finland (前は日本に住んでいるけど)

Dude how did you afford 2 4090s

why did you bother bringing it? how long are you there for? I spent several months there before and never felt the need to bring a whole pc with me. Just curious :)

Thou i personally never gone on a flight, from all the stories from people i know that travel relatively often, flying can be such a fricking gamble, even when going from and to the same place frequently. Glad it wasnt a bad experience for your first time :D Also, as a random tidbit, if for whatever reason it ever came to be a decision to make, never fly with Iberia. I might be spanish so most stories inevitably revolve around that cursed airline and its shitty treatment of people in local flights; but even international flights often have... "quirks", atleast more often than other major airlines.

How are you finding Japan so far? Exceeded expectations?

Cool video, but honestly I would not put anything valuable in checked luggage. The golden rule is never put valuables in checked luggage; It's so easy for airlines/handlers to misplace or even steal from your luggage and dealing with them is just a big hassle. I would opt for carrying on my sff pc with me on any flight I bring it.

i'd be terrified to trust checked baggage to not get lost or stolen

Never used this feature to give money to anyone, it's a good opportunity to test it. But it's just for you and no one else. You know the reason why. Ciao.
