I think you can also charge the powerbank over the retractable cable. (lemme double check that)
I get the data points of the ring and Apple Watch etc but also can lead to over thinking and if you have a bad night’s sleep - you know it next day regardless of the data points. Good video.
Yeah, makes total sense. I've had friends who've said the same thing. It's hard to find the right balance of over obsessing vs. observing - just gotta give yourself grace.
Also nice to have during a blackout or storm You can Never have to many power banks.
Do you know if this airplane is travel-friendly? I heard there will be changes in the carrying of electronic/batteries in carry-ons/checked bags in 2025. Does anyone confirm that? Thank you.
They claim they're TSA friendly on the Amazon website. Take that with a grain of salt though
I just flew 6 flights with the powerbank around the world and I can say its airplane friendly
I have to stop buying power banks and cases man, its a weird addiction/hobbie and its costing me money lol
Haha that is definitely niche!!
Everything costs money nowadays.
Great review
Thanks! Appreciate it! 🫶
Good video, good review. I went ahead and bought one as I’m always charging laptops or iPads. The ability to have this as a backup and potentially a travel/to-go battery bank is worth it. I’ll spend the extra 20$ or so for Anker. I trust their products.
2500??! He is funny
Oops

Thanks bro
all good and dandy but it seems like the mirror is giving a yellow tint to the image
You may be right.. It's hard to tell, as I filmed a good portion of this on my iPhone. Could be color corrected already. My room is white, and I use a yellow tinted light to film.
Hi are you looking for a professionals TH-cam thumbnail designer or video seo experts?

Arent you able to set it up to act like two screens and deactivate like the snapping between monitors? i think this would fix it for working.
I know that it's possible on Windows, not sure for Mac's though.
As someone who plays a lot with emulators and play games as much as how they're meant to run like, Ultrawide is a complete waste of money, and space imo.
I think we're in the minority here 😆
@@alexlarch Yeah, not everyone's deep into PC for different reasons as us 😄
Looks like you bought the wrong ultra wide. you want a curved monitor and you want a monitor that is at least 3820 pixels wide. that makes it was wide as two separate monitor. your monitor looks like it is only as wide as one and a half monitors.
I got a 34" monitor, which is pretty standard for ultra wide sizes. Yeah, I definitely should have gotten a curved monitor, and the more pixels the clearer your computer will be.
lost me at vs code :P
lemme guess, IntelliJ user XD

Great video, dont worry about getting into faang its no different than any other company that pays similarly. The worst code/engineering/engineer ive seen was at a faang
But I got that FOMO though hahaha
I've heard it's hella overhyped too
Haha fair enough, based on your salary though id guess wherever you are is probably just as good if not better than a faang
Aren’t you making a salary too high to utilize a Roth IRA?
Yes but he could have done a backdoor roth

Oh WOW!!! The nerve!!!😳
Loved your video man! You kind of gave me some tips I didn't know about. Didn't know some of the websites you pointed out to get data. Little background, I'm 48 and live in Ohio. I have 4 vehicles, all paid off. None of those vehicles are spectacular! I drive 500 miles a week just to and from work. My trusted daily driver is my 2011 Toyota Rav 4 with 200,000 miles on it. Never had an issue out of it. Paid cash earlier this year for a 2010 Toyota Camry to help keep the miles off of the Rav. The Camry burns oil! The people I bought it off of lied to me! But, I put under a quart every week in it and hopefully it will last me a while. That's the only problem buying used but I personally would never buy new. I plan on buying a lower mile used vehicle in a year....year and a half and I'm doing my research now so I can keep up on these vehicles and see how they're holding up. Currently, I'm looking at Toyota Camry AWD and Carolla Cross AWD. Hoping to spend around $25,000 when the time comes and putting down at least $5,000. I'm pretty good with money but people should really listen to your advice because wasting money on cars is pretty stupid financially! I buy cars and keep them for 10 plus years. Also, I know it's hard if you live in an apartment (I live in a house with a garage but used to live in a house with out a garage and did all the work to my cars in my driveway) but learn how to do simple stuff like brakes. I can do a full brake job on your car (all 4 wheels calipers, pads and rotors) and depending on the vehicle, might spend around $900 or so. Places like Rockauto sell parts cheaper. I'm a military vet, places like Oriley's and Advanced Auto automatically give you 10% off with some sort of Military ID. Anyway, take that to a small shop you'll probably spend 3 times that or more.....let alone a dealership. Look on TH-cam, figure it out. It's not that hard. The amount you spend on tools at Harbor Freight and buying the parts might be a lot but it would still be less than that first brake job at a shop. Then, from then on out you have the tools to do it yourself. Anyway, just some tips to add to your great video!
Hey man! First off thanks for taking the time to add such a wonderful comment! That's great that you have 4 vehicles, all paid off! That's better than most people in the US. For the option on whether getting a Camry AWD or a Cross AWD, I think they're both great picks. It honestly depends at preference one what kind of car you want - sedan vs. compact SUV. Either way, a Toyota is a Toyota and should be greatly reliable. I will add that the Camry has been battle tested for almost 40+ years, where the Cross is much newer. Maybe take that into consideration? Good points on the DIY brake job and maintenance. Yeah, if you can do it yourself you can definitely save hundreds if not maybe a thousand a year. Thanks for serving btw!! 🇺🇸

Keep it up dude, happy to see some legit 0-hero content on here. Post a bit more about your results following up on the leads
Will do, thanks for the comment!
GOODLUCK! Do you advertise in person? At events? Or like trade shows? That can be very effective
Advertise mostly on FB. I do some mailers too
Try Valuation instead of Evaluation
Thanks for the suggestion!
Interesting..
Hi bro Do need a professional TH-cam thumbnail designer and TH-cam video SEO expart?
Hi Alex, Great video. Just curious. What’s the application process like? How do they approve cardholders? I tried to get the X1 card, but always had problems with bank verification.
Thanks for the comment! The application process was fairly straightforward. It's a simple questionnaire, then they throw you on a waitlist. Not exactly sure the requirements for approval.
I checked out your TH-cam channel and noticed a few areas for improvement. Your content is excellent, but the thumbnails and SEO could use some work. By optimizing these aspects, your channel could grow much faster. Would you like help with this? Thanks!
