dear fellow Scholars this is 2minute papers with Caro I apologize for the delays during last week I always put out notifications about such events on Twitter and Facebook make sure to follow us there so you fellow scholar know about these well in advance and I have to say during this time I really miss you and making videos so much this video is a quick update on what has happen since and I'd also like to assure you that the next 2minute papers episode is already in the work and is going to arrive soon very soon patreon is a platform where you can support your favorite creators with monthly recurring tips and get cool perks in return we have quite a few supporters who are really passionate about the show and during the making of the last few episodes we have encountered severe hardware issues there were freezes random restarts blue screens of death constantly and the computer was just too unstable to record and edit two-minute papers the technicians checked it out and found that quite a few parts would have to be replaced and I figured that this would be a great time to replace this old configuration so we have ordered the new 2-minute papers rig and the entire purchase happened with the help of you our patreon supporters we were able to replace it effortlessly which is just amazing words fail me to describe how grateful I am for your generous support and I'm still stunned by this it is just unfathomable to me that I am just sitting here in a room with a microphone having way too much fun with research papers and many of you enjoy this series enough to support it and it had come to this you fellow Scholars make two-minute papers happen thanks so much I try to squeeze in a bit of footage of the new rig and transparency above all will post the configuration in the video description box for the more curious minds out there what I can say at this point is that this new rig renders videos three times as quickly as the previous one and even though these are just short videos the rendering times for something in full HD and 60 frames per second are surprisingly long even when run on the graphical card well not anymore so one more time thank you so much for supporting the series this is absolutely amazing it really is this was a quick update video the next episode is coming soon and I'll try my very best so we can be back at our regular schedule of two videos per week lots of spectacular works are on our list stay tuned oh and by the way we have fellow Scholars watching from all around the world and in the meantime some of them have started translating our episodes to German Portuguese Spanish and Italian for some reason I cannot see the names of the kind people who took their time to contribute so I'd like to kindly thank you for your work it makes two-minute papers accessible to even more people with which is amazing thanks for watching and for your generous support and I'll see you next time
