• 🏖️ The final mission of the stealth series involved building a home theater PC for a friend, Mike, with the primary request being to make it stealthy.
• 💻 The build took place on an isolated beach, with the creator experiencing extreme heat due to the sun, necessitating completion of cable management back in the van.

• 📈 Initial tests showed promising temperatures, with the CPU peaking around 87°C and the GPU in the mid-50s, resulting in a Time Spy Extreme score of 13,562.

Exploring LA's Hidden Gems

• 🏚️ The Lincoln Heights Jail, an abandoned art deco building from 1931-1965, was explored via drone, though a close-up inspection was not possible due to its hazardous condition and restricted access.
