Well, we used to have a great network setup back when we had our studio, but now that we've moved, Jake has to start alllll over again. Thankfully, Alta Labs sent over their AP6 Pro routers and a nice new switch to help us get the most out of our neighbour's internet package. I hope everything is waterproof though...

The fact that they ACTUALLY recorded videos in the old house is amazing. April fools joke done right
April fools joke?
@@TheNeuxz Yea if you check their main channel you'll get it. Albeit they uploaded it while it's still March 31st in Europe.
@@TheNeuxz they told last second!
@@TheNeuxz You missed it right? don't you..
A day early to release them but close enough lol Probably for more confusion haha
Just imagine trying to explain to Alta that you dropped the AP in a hot tub.
"I hope it has an IP rating" a thing Linus would say
Just need a really big bag of rice.
@@Nilbrand Dad joke on point.
*Jake* : Dips AP in water. *Linus* : Drops AP in water.
"hot"
That explains why they needed a wifi cracking van. They need to steal the neighbours wifi password to have internet for the Langley house.
Bro its an Ethernet cable coming from the other house XD
@@Charlie-Tech-Support You can also use a access point in reverse to connect to a wifi signal and turn into ethernet, so could be lines going outside to be closer to the neighbour to connect to their wifi :)
@@anthonyfromcanada Yes I know you can repeat the signal but considering it's coming from the other house, i doubt they'd be able to get a gigabit link over wifi with just a repeater. Valid point though.
I can just imagine someone who is researching for this product and they stumble across this video.
Think of the people looking for videos of a couple hot tubbing canucks and end up watching a video about APs
@@fukov3400 👋Here. I wasn't disappointed.
Hey, sex sells.
Always wonder about these April Fools videos without the context of the day... Feel like KZhead should auto-tag on April 2nd any video released the day before "released on April 1st, possible satire"
We hope they find this video 😎
"we're staying 5 feet apart dont worry" lmao that got me
Two bros chilling in a hot tub 5 feet apart cause they're not gay
But yet playing footsie below the waterline. 😂
@@rishisriram8853 It hit me like a tricycle 2 minutes after hearing it
Anothy padila rocks
Jake reviewing a non-Ubiquiti rack-mounted networking product?!?!??! Impossible!
Makes me think it isn't an April's fools day.
That is the real april fools joke
When times are tough...😅
Inb4 someone says short circuit doesnt do reviews, lol
@@AndersHass short circuit does UNBOXINGS 🤬
i can't believe Linus allowed them to use his office for this video he's such a nice guy for allowing that!
Jake is Linus' boyfriend after all.
@@arfell5947no that's luke
Its probably his personal WiFi
This April fool's is INSANE. Props off to LTT
Wdym this is real.
Fun yes, but someone is getting fired because this video because we released one day too early. April fool's Day is tomorrow....
@@ekan97kingen5Maybe they were just accomodating for the I-Kiribati in the earliest time zone.
@@ekan97kingen5 -Colton- Anyway, maybe it's because it's technically April 1st in Australia ( and yes, I know they live in Canada ).
@@ekan97kingen5 nope because it's on floatplane too. Their releases are scheduled ahead of time.
This is insane how far they're going with the bit, I love it
You think this is a bit, in this economy?
@Solkre82 if you think it's real then I have some magic beans to sell you 🤣
@@aaronsmith8439now i am wondering is there any reason they put it 1 day earlier..
@@aaronsmith8439 r/whoosh
@@aaronsmith8439Do these beans taste good ?
shortcircuit is now the top trending in the hot tub category.
When a hot tub is neither hot nor a tub.
@@donc-m4900 cold inflatable pool lmao
there's a hot tub category?
The best part about this video is the "5 feet apart" hot tub bros reference from Jake... which was Anthony Padilla. Giving Smosh even more cred after they shaded Linus is perfect.
What happened?? What did smosh do ??
@@lokeshxd Submissible and Breedable: There was a just the tip/Linus joke.
Shaded? I think you misspelled honored.
LIke Linus walking over asking "what are you doing" before remembering that they are in the new office :P
Their commitment to the bit is insane
0:00 😂 Hi, welcome to short circuit … said the Jake with electronics in the bathtub ⚡️ 😂
damn I never noticed that. Genius!
"I've been allowed permission to use a little bit of power to try this product out" ahaha hilarious
I meet the Alta Labs guys last year there ex Ubiquiti Enginners. Self hosted controller is currently in Beta. I've been running them at home myself for the last 6 months, compared to my U6 pro the speed probly about the same but range is diffently a large improvement, I've one I the house and one in a out door box in the garden.
So probably will be about the same as Ubiquiti. Disappointing.
Great dedication to the April Fools bit!
you know. it doesn't even matter where they are. they still make great videos and provide so much value. love you guys!
Linus' writers are genius. April fools on us with the videos. April fools on all the employees by making them work in the Langley house. I hope it continues into tomorrow with the other channels and videos.
so they was serious about the new shortcircuit video.
Opened the video and my mom peeped in. Now she thinks I am gay. Thanks ltt.
😂
Aren't you???
Now she can admit it.
Parents are more perceptive than they let on. She already knew.
No it is not gay they were 5 feet apart
The software DRM is probably well intended but naw man. It's a rack mounted switch my dude not an iPhone at a bar, no-one is going to try and steal one. It just turns this into ewaste unless the owner remembers to disconnect their account. Which I can see happening if a company goes under and their IT equipment gets sold at auction. Meanwhile the company where that IT person worked is gone.
Yep, this type of DRM just means most companies and IT people will avoid it like crazy. Absolutely no resale value since buyers can't trust the seller to unlock it and high cost because you pretty much have no option but to buy new unless you want to risk getting a locked one. The only time this type of DRM should take effect, even with phones, is if the owner actually reports the serial number as stolen and even then there should be a process to handle proving that the item is not stolen and was purchased legally.
Yeah it's a complete deal breaker. Physical access should always mean all access. If someone broke into your datacenter and stole your switch you have way way way bigger problems on your hands
It’s very similar to Find My, and yes it’s for APs and switches. The local controller will not have the feature available, though.
Or its so when you reset the device is reconnects to your account so you can easily reconfigure it? Eg. remote branch office, have user perform reset, head office IT will see it reappear and they can reapply the config? Its not DRM
@@semaja2If its not DRM then you shouldn't need the previous account to allow it to be reconfigured after a factory reset. And Jake demonstrated that it still showed up just fine after a factory reset for it to be configured without any need for the old account to be tied to it, IT JUST WOULDN'T LET HIM DUE TO THE DRM.
So, you made April 1st into a fun company wide event? I like that
I expect Mac Address from a coffee shop
Ive been running this stuff for over a year! Rock solid stuff 100%
Redundant PSU on a pro-sumer/SoHo Enterprise ACCESS switch might be a high ask tbh.. You dont see those on your Ciscos, Junipers, Arubas until you spend a fair amount.
Jake rocking a M539 Restorations t-shirt has collided galaxies.
Great April fools; total commitment! Side note - I've been using some of the Alta Labs gear at home for a while now - it's been rock solid and definitely happy with my purchase! The UI is also pretty user friendly!
I like how the switch can change colour of the lights because then you can have a different colour switch for voip, then different for servers, then the main everyday computers on a different colour also
I love how all-in you all went on this one.
the commitment to the bit is commendable
Love that you committed to the bit :D
The commitment to the bit is the best part.
This is on a whole other level
I always enjoy Jakes review on networking tech. Great Video
The remote management I have seen on computers at my work (ITAD) is crazy. I have an iPad Air 2 I've had for years and years that I bought from work. Went to factory reset it to gift it to my mom. BOOM, client lock from some school district across the country.
Love the bird sounds! Need more bird sounds across all channel videos.
All I could think of was CEE Australia's Kurtis saying 'F*k off bird'
I just love to see M539 merch on the video. Good one Jake, Sreten deserves the publicity :D
Two dudes sitting in a hot tub, five feet apart because they're..
Reviewing tech?
Got something against it? 😅
The commitment to this April fools joke is real! 😂😂😂 Love it guys, love it!
Love the reference to Anthony Padilla’s vine, “two bros chillin’ in a hot tub five feet apart cuz they’re not gay” 😂😂😂
The amount of nostalgia for the house ❤
Commitment to the bit across channels is commendable.
Loving the M539 merch 🙂 I hope you guys are keeping it OEM !!
Interesting take on the new competitor in the AP market. Look forward to more updates especially with the local self-hostable controller.
Come check us out! Our 2024 product lineup is extensive
I love all the throwbacks to the other video today. Well done fellas.
I know the views are possibly low but, watching the creative yes attitude and the embrace of the yes, factor is amazing. Thanks!
Congrats on the new old set! I can’t wait for New New New Old Set!
Jake: _"Old Set 4!"_
New 3, old set.
These look so much more enjoyable to use than Ubiquiti's stuff. Definitely going to give these a look.
They are great!
Come check us out! We’d love to get you some product!
Having a password change the permissions is such an interesting idea I'm surprised it's not part of the wifi standard.
Come check us out 😊
Thanks you LMG for the fun April fool, so awesome and fun!
Shirtless Jake automatically makes this the best Short Circuit ever! 😜
The DRM is an automatic disqual, unfortunately. Other than that it looked pretty slick.
The account lock feature is available for both APs and switches connected to our cloud, but will not be available for devices connected to local controllers. Also, the old user can easily click a single link to release it. No login, etc necessary.
@@jeff-hansen That's all nice in most cases, but at some point these devices will end up sold as used, discarded for recycling, a disgruntled network admin will leave the company with management creds... There *needs* to be a way to unlock the device, even if it's not as simple as pressing the reset button. Maybe a 48 hour lockout period? Or a jumper on the motherboard? The responsible thing to do is to offer such an option, but my inner cynic says that further use of old devices provides zero or negative value to your company, so that won't happen. Prove me wrong!
@@dvdkon7165 There is definitely a process for unlocking a device, i.e. if you can just reach out to support and prove physical ownership of the device it is possible to unlock it.
This cross-channel continuity is one of, if not ,THE most genius thing you’ve ever done. I absolutely love it Also, Jake: nice t-shirt 😊
My eyes... I can not unsee this.
This is the quality content I expect and the corona umbrella really sells it to me
The most committed April fools day joke ever. What are you doing in Linus's office?
never thought I'd hear a "2 dudes chillin in a hot tub, 5 feet apart cuz they're not gay" reference in an LMG vidoe in 2024. Nicely done
I can't imagine the work that went into this whole april fools campaign.
Linuses boyfriend bathing with another man in inflatable child pool and reviewing not Ubiquiti network equipment. April 1 for you.
Well, duh, his husband was probably busy.
Seems like it has more configurable options than Ubiquiti even tho they've been around forever by now.
I am so glad they Hot Tub Time Machined Jako! 🤣 These videos have been absolutely amazing!!🤘
lol love the "Monty Python" -ish on going joke! I hope there is a tech quickies video too! 😀
The commitment to this bit is astounding
Ubiquiti be like: "You traitor!"
Thanks for mentioning self-hosting and DRM
"we're staying five feet apart" caught me off guard. Good throwback 😂😂😂
All Short Circuits should be in this format now.... just keep that 5 feet for the NGsssss What a line.
Love the M539 shirt! Coooming up!
Shout out to Jake for wearing m539 merch... best car restoring content anywhere!
0:49 it's the most epic strat; no one really cares that much because of how hilarious the video is excellent job guys lol
i cant believe they actually recorded it in this house
Love the M539 Restorations shirt!
Can't wait till tomorrow 😂😂 I'm guessing whoever was renting that place out from Linus. Moved out and he's taking the opportunity to have a great prank and remodel the place.
The dedication to the april 1st joke is amazing
"Did you peed here?" "Oh, don't think about it." xD
Whenever you put in b-roll from websites, would the editor be able to use an extension like Dark Reader to be able to show the viewer that website, only in dark mode? It might add to the viewer experience. My whole room lit up when I was watching before going to sleep lol-that's where the idea stemmed from. Btw love the new office setup!
commited with the bit, respect
That is some very super safe desk setup you got there. All held up by that super safe Intex tube. 😂
shoutout to the m539 restorations shirt 🔥
Other than pulling a google with the account lock, looks like a pretty cool switch :)
It's very smart doing all these videos in the old house. It makes it a tax right off
GOING ALL THE WAY!!!! Way to go!
My god lan show is gonna be so good
“Well that screw is gone forever!” Yes, and the pool too 😃
2:50 Linus Tech Dips.
I am glad that you will be able to self host the controller, i also hope there is no mandatory internet access, having anything tied to the cloud for hardware is beyond stupid and unnecessary
It’s coming very soon but the hosted controller is great.
Self hosted will have to have internet access for initial setup, but after that it will not 😊
Loving the new Red Bull SF Amber?! I work for Red Bull and love that you guys are into it!
I hope someone is doing an Easter Egg list of all the tie-ins to the Langley Caper in the last week. Such as the unexplained Wan Show change to the air couch set. The WIFI stealing van. Random men in green sightings. Etc.
I might reactivate my floatplane account simply to see the behind the scenes on all this stuff. This is insane.
Its been a minute since iv been as anxious as I am watching this
The lore of the Linus Verse is intriguing.
they (alta) could totally use the many LEDs on the switch as an update progress indicator to not cause confusion
Thanks for the feedback 😊
6:15 You don't need a Cloud Key with Ubiquiti. The UDMP has it's own included management portal.
Good on the boys for staying 5 feet apart cause they're not... you know.
That looks like a fun day of full commit.
Very retro feeling grey colour!
The birds cawing in the background got me lol
Well, this is gonna be a weird meeting when I show my boss why we need these
Let’s get you set up with some gear! 😊 contact us on our website!
Finally some professional reviewing!
You know, when people said hot tub streaming would be a slippery slope I didn’t believe them… that’ll teach me.
