Microsoft partnered with us to celebrate its 50th birthday. And what better way to celebrate than to build a sleeper build in their PC from the great 1970s, the Altair 8800. Not only can you play Oblivion Remastered thanks to the RTX 5090, you can also use the Altair 8800 as it was meant to be.

where is bil gates computer
There's pictures of Bill Gates on Wikipedia where he's on a Teletype Model 33 when he was 13, four years before the Altair 8800 was released, so the title is incorrect. His parents were extremely wealthy, so he had access to things growing up, when he went to Harvard there was a building already there named after his famous lawyer dad, and when his company didn't have sales his mom introduced IBM executives to him because she was on the board of directors for multiple banks as well as United Way. Bill Gates in not some rags to riches garage company guy, he's actually one of the few billionaires who doesn't try to hide his upbringing in wealth.
absolutely loved the introduction to this one ❤
i actually find it kinda funny, i mean i like ryzen i use it on my own computer, but the x3d chips really only add framerate to 1080p usually right? so what is the actual point of them? whos paying that amount of money for a cpu to play in 1080p ? maybe like competitive gamers but that's about it?
the title is kinda clickbaity ngl
Billy made a fucked up OS and should punished for at least all his other crimes…. bye LTT
Click bait titles?
Really? I thought that was something you said you weren't doing anymore :/
Microsoft paid you to go to Washington?!
Missed the opportunity to use coloured tubing to mimic the old pipes screensaver
9:21 Very descriptive, I love it.
1. Can't believe Microsoft was okay with that F-Bomb, lol.
2. I'm curious where that "power draw" audio swap came from, because that was a tad obvious, but I'll bet there was a deadline and reasons.
Thank you for a reminder of why I stick to air cooling 🤣
My father and I built it's clone the IMSAI 8080 when I was 5 years old
Not programming the switches/LED's to actually working on the computer itself, was such a massive loss.
You should genuinely make the actual system run the program through the switches, and maybe even interact with windows itself.
Like imagine being able to right in your own code on that.
@Microsoft fix ur S1-S2-S3 sleep …
666K upvotes. Devilish!
Would have also watched a video about the original machine
Bil Gates are doing so much bad this days. Hi is not a Hero anymore.
oh no gates money this is a bad sign now Linus will be eco first
Did you check his hard drive for anything Epstein related
Yo can you keep putting in Clippy for any more tidbits in future videos or for anything that would be captioned, such as a video correction. You could use another Microsoft mascot like Merlin or Rover.
RUN LINUX PLEASE
@LinusTechTips if this comment gets 500 likes you have to build me a custom pc and ship it to me (my pc is too slow so i really need one)
Was that an ICP reference talking about not knowing how magnets work??? or am i crazy
This has to be one of the coolest sleeper builds in history
Asrock motherboard and a 9800X3D. What could go wrong…. 💣
So, what about the rear panel I/O?
Not Microsoft outsourcing a tech support
Bill gates had access to a lot of money and networking when he started
11:53 Putting a Mac Mini within a sleeper PC for Microsoft would be diabolical 😂😂
