Gaming PC Build! Skip USB 3.1? 3 Awesome Measuring Tools, Two Routers One Box: Linux Route Command!

We’re building a new gaming PC! Three measuring tools we use all the time, tools to make your life easier, a handy Linux Route Command, and more! All coming up on TekThing! 

seerpea the dual route question: i don't think they answered the question asked. route commands work great when you know the destination ip, but i think the question was how to route based on the packet type or when an human readable is known but not the ip.

Julian Owens While I am converting youtube to mp3 from my linux box command line, it would be nice to have it already done in the downloadable link. Your guys audio only really makes for a good podcast on my daily commute. Although, I might be missing that you guys may already have this done.

Morning Patreon People! Thanks so much for supporting TekThing... here's episode 23! iOS 9, iPad multitasking, more from Apple’s WWDC. Travel friendly devices add storage to phones and tablets. “Futureproofing” vs. upgrading, thermal compound vs thermal pads, buy the right antenna for FREE OTA TV, all that and more on this episode of TekThing!


seerpea The new setup: i prefer the conversation setup (on other shows as well) but if this makes the audio easier to manage and is easier on your necks, keep it. Nice piece on headphones. Would like to hear a more complete review of the 5-in-1 mobile thingy, as well as possible alternatives. Does any patron have the thingy? 'Red Team' of what?

Tons of news is coming out of E3, and Shannon can't wait to talk about it! We've also got a GPU upgrade question, security tips in the wake of LastPass's authentication hash breach, and more!


Also! Just for our patrons, we've added a new MILESTONE GOAL!! We're incredibly close to hitting $2500 per episode, so when we reach that goal, we'll start posting a monthly video of a hardware build. It could be anything from a Raspberry Pi mod to a brand-spankin new PC. If you're as excited as we are to reach this new goal, share the show around with your friends, family, coworkers, pets... Everyone! 


Thanks again for supporting TekThing! We couldn't do it without your support, and this amazing community!

Milton Hi , Love the show. Just curious on the Hak5 channel Mailvelop was well reviewed but then Mubix found a vulnerability and it seemed like then it was not favored. Has this changed? Also, along with Proton mail there is also Tutanota - they both essentially do the same thing (end to end encryption) - your thoughts on them vs each other? I'm leaning towards Totanota because it has mobile apps for Android and iPhone. Thanks for the shows!! Longtime fan - MM, Los Angeles

Shannon Morse and Patrick Norton Will it take a 12V input or DC input? Using a marine battery (direct to DC or w/ an inverter) would probably get you the longest run time.

Hey Everybody! Greetings from Defcon, and thank you for making TekThing possible! Today's episode includes Intel's new Skylake Core i7-6700K: overclocking friendly on top of serious performance.

Julian Owens Hey guys, great shows. I just wanted to let you know that based on a most recent show where you covered the extension of your wifi signal, no I don't have horse hair in my walls, I was able to resolve my issue. I live in a long ranch home where my ATT router is in an upstairs above my garage and my master bedroom is aaall the way on the other side of my house. I picked up a Netgear EX6200 that I have placed in the middle of my home to carry the signal and now everything is just sweet. Thanks. I'll be getting me a supertank printer next! Great Job.

Julian Owens For those of us who are trying to run a small router / system in a garage, I have killed two with 100+ degree Texas heat, what can you guys recommend for a router or mini switch that can handle 100-110 degree F heat? Fanless would be nice but if it has a fan, that's ok too. Thanks again for all of your help.

August 19, 2015 15:20:00 · Reply

Shannon Morse and Patrick Norton Hey Julian! Patrick here. I'll ask folks on the show if they know of a particularly robust router, but I suspect if it's 100-100 outside, it's probably way hotter inside your garage. Any chance you can move that hardware into the house? If not, make sure it's not anywhere near a windows (direct sunlight is brutal), and try moving it down by the floor, esp if the floor is concrete. Consider cracking open the case on the router, drilling holes in the top, or just leaving it outside the case. Setting up a biscuit fan that blows air on/over it might help, or just keeping a fan going inside the garage to move the air around. And, of course, there's always sealing and insulating the roof the garage, adding ventilation to reduce the amount of heat buildup inside. Hope this helps a bit!

Eldergamer There are very few alarm systems that are free of monthly fees so when I came across the Smanos I had to try it. I purchased the Smanos alarm system. Like you I had trouble with it, enough trouble that I decided to keep looking. A friend was also looking at systems the same time I was. He purchased an alarm from a company called iSmartAlarm. First thing I thought was it has something to do with apple but it’s just one more a company jumping on the ‘I’something naming convention bandwagon. It has an app for both Android and IOS. Anyway, I used the Smanos for about a week. It never worked right. I simply couldn’t trust it, when it comes to alarms that just seems unacceptable to me. My friend seemed to be happy with his so I boxed the Smanos up and shipped it back to Amazon. I purchased the iSmartAlarm alarm system from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/iSmartAlarm-iSA3-Preferred-Package-Security/dp/B00ESVCRJO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1440611715&sr=8-1&keywords=iSmartAlarm It wasn’t perfect either. I had trouble with getting the system connected to the app for my phone. The remote is also not a very good design but after I fixed the phone issue I haven’t had any trouble. I’ve had no false alarms or technical hang-ups since. I’ve had it for about a year now and I don’t even give it a second thought. That’s exactly what I was looking for. Peace of mind. There may be better systems out there. I only have experience with the two mentioned above.

Both Samsung's Galaxy Note 5 and S6 Edge+ have hit and are top-of-the-line. LG's G4 is another great option... but should you -WAIT- a few more weeks before you buy a new phone? Will Sprint and Verizion going 'contract free' save you money? Two Factor Authentication: Shannon talks Authy, Duo, and Google Authenticator. Will a new motherboard mean you have to pay for a Windows 10 license? Can you move Windows 10 off a HD and onto a SSD... and why you need to upgrade in place before you do a clean install. Keep heat from killing your router, an even cheaper tablet recco for kids, a free open source app for security cameras, and more!

Jon Hancock Additional info on Win 10 upgrade. This is specific to Dell, but may apply to others. Dell apparently encodes the recovery partition. If you clone the original HDD to an SSD the windows update will fail. I had to swap the SSD with the original HDD, performed the Win 10 upgrade, and then clone the upgraded HDD to the SSD. Works fine.

Matthew P Stein Take a hard look at the Saygus V2 and also consider that right now, only the Nexus 6 works with Google Fi, so if you are leaning towards trying "Fi" then your only choice is the Nexus 6. Saygus is a potential monster with 2 SD slots and 64 GB storage native, so you could potentially carry 464GB of storage in your phone..... (a part of me wants it just for that reason.....).

seerpea I had to use the YouTube version as I could not get an RSS feed going (for any of the last 3 shows, even though i had previously viewed prior 2) with Diamond or Weekster. Is there a different audio process used for YouTube from RSS feed? The voices were very muddled compared to the RSS feeds I was able to get the past month.

Maloney Trying to hear Patrick on the latest episodes is painful!!! Have you tried using levitator? The only time I didn't have to strain to understand him was with Ryan.

Harlan Tweed I want to thank you Shannon and Patrick. I watched you build your new gaming computer many months ago. You gave me the confidence to build my first gaming PC. Here it is. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Bnbw4D https://plus.google.com/u/0/117975947545975981321/posts/C1xc3kFVAe7?pid=6195735154594483010&oid=117975947545975981321 BTW I had trouble with the first CPU cooler ARCTIC Freezer. I took my new build to a friend and he helped me out with the Cool master and cable management. Love the show. Keep Teaching me crap, I love it.

Matt Kamla When ordering HDMI adapters make sure you know which direction you want to go before ordering. Since HDMI cables only go in one way you want to make sure that you know which way you want to go. Up, Down, Left or Right.
