I am NOT Stupid - Lab Update takes viewers on a guided tour of Linus Tech Tips’ Lab Two, detailing the rapid buildout, new testing apparatus, and the people driving hands-on hardware experimentation. The video opens with an energetic teaser of what’s new, including a PSU tester, a laser keyboard scanner nicknamed Kave, a new metal 3D printer, and an RF chamber that will eventually become a fully anechoic testing space. The tour then dives into the human element: the teams in desk land, desktop component testing, and visible signs of collaboration as they plan room layouts, optimize space, and assign responsibilities. Throughout, the hosts explain why edge-case testing matters, especially for waterproofing, keyboard actuation accuracy, and RF/EMC considerations, while also juggling logistical constraints and the ongoing lab move. The narrative emphasizes independent consumer testing and the ethos of transparency, with frequent updates about budget, timelines, and future capabilities like a dedicated home theater and an acoustically isolated camera room. The overall tone balances curiosity and pragmatism, underscoring that the lab is a work in progress aimed at rigorous, real-world testing for a broad range of devices and scenarios.

Questions answered
- What is the purpose of the new RF chamber in Lab Two?
- The RF chamber is designed to test electromagnetic compatibility and signal attenuation across a wide frequency range, enabling independent verification of consumer device performance in a controlled, shielded environment.
- How does the lab plan to test phone water resistance?
- They plan to submerge phones in a controlled setup with moisture sensors to measure whether manufacturers’ IP ratings hold up under specified depths and durations, using a pass/fail outcome.
- What role does the metal 3D printer play in the lab update?
- The metal 3D printer will create metal parts and components, followed by a post-processing oven cycle that evacuates air with argon, enabling high-temperature, high-precision metal fabrication for custom parts.
- Why are the lab spaces being reconfigured instead of remaining static?
- Reconfiguration supports more testing workflows, better collaboration, and future expansion, including dedicated rooms for audio, camera testing, and consumer electronics, while streamlining logistics and reducing turnaround time.
