Never mention were is connection to charge no good.
2:22 I show the USB-C charging port
Actually those keyboards are selling in some online store way more expensive...and this brand have with removable cable,dunno didn't try em yet but they can have some more "fancier"😂
junk
@@sotonin Expensive, maybe. Overpriced, maybe. These are all dependent on various factors. But “junk” is definitely not a word I’d use to describe this hub.
i have a question about a little diffrent topic. Is it possible to use touch bar like in word or pages but in notion? To make acces on touch bar to underlining the text or to bold it? I've been looking eceryone and i can not find any solution.
That’s a good question, I think notion would need to add support for the Touch Bar natively to the app in order for it to work. Given that the Touch Bar is discontinued, I highly doubt they’d add it unfortunately.
Does the power button on the dock can turn on the macbook?
@@EnriquecPacheco No, the power button turns on the dock. They supply you with a DC power adapter (you also get a USB-C cable) that plugs into the dock to power it. You need to use the power button to turn the dock on to use it
I completely forgot to mention this is the video, my apologies
It's really designed for the shower
shill
@@patrickstevens2473 You’re more than welcome to buy another brand, I say it multiple times in the video. Literally was not paid for this, they wanted to send it and I’ve never used a hub before so of course I jumped at the opportunity for a free product.
I need that Pepsi-Cola sign.
Sorry not for sale😂😂 It is a cool sign tho right haha!

hey if I use pock I cannot use safari controls yk what I am saying when we play any video it do not shows the video controls am i right just as you said it basically overrides safari and shows pock ??

Is it compatible with the new Mac OS

You can just ask Siri, “hey siri, reduce white point” than it pops up a little switch ti turn it on or off

@@9vpgodsYT website, it’s linked in the description :)
nice
First off, I’ll say I found this channel because TH-cam suggested your bespoke post video. I’ve watched several other vids,including EDC. Really enjoying it. I’m not sure why you don’t have more subscribers and viewers because I really like your content. Regarding the Apple Watch, I agree with you about wanting a traditional watch. So many people I know got the Apple Watch but I do not want to stop wearing my mechanical watches, my vintage watches, my fun watches. I just don’t want to give that up.
@@neilfresh Thanks so much for the nice comment! And I’m glad there are others out there like me, I’ll always reach for my tradition watches over any smart watch🤘🏻
I spend no time on tires but lots of work cleaning the wheels, should have shown that. Those pads are reversible, what side to use, how is it used, what are they for and use with what cleaning or polishing compounds. Could destroy a pad with one misuse like on rough concrete surface. Speed control, fast, slow and on/off all in a single switch. I found it to be hit or miss, need to push it more than a few times to select the right setting. Should have a removable battery option, one charging, one on unit. Costco don't sell attachments, a few could cost more than the unit itself.
@@kimchee94112 Honestly I wouldn’t use any of the attachments on my rims because their powder coated black, I wouldn’t want any scratches. I just use a microfiber cloth.
I have the 2019 i7 MacBook Pro and I love this little beast / I also have the M1 MacBook air and a M2 Pro Mac mini - I still grab my 16" Portable Power House and love the touch bar, its so cool how it changes with the software you are using......
oh no. a temu keyboard made out of plastic? disgusting
@@jemandjemand2362 🤣🤣
I'd like that kid of money to just say 'i had to buy a M2 macbook'
@@tigersusyt Yeah but considering it’s used for work, it’s a worthy investment
Good video! Keep going!
@@musanziyane6616 Thank you so much! I definitely will, I have more video ideas baking!
Just upgraded my 2015 15-inch MacBook Pro to an M1 Pro 14-inch 10CPU/16GPU 1TB. I love it, the game changer for me is the fan noise. As a music producer the fan noise of the Intel Mac was a real issue when recording instruments because it would get picked up by the microphone. I skipped the Touch Bar generation entirely, although I feel like the 2019 i9 models are good, except for the fan noise.
I also bought this at Costco. I have used it in bathroom using extension handle to get behind toilet and the floor and inside toliet. It did great job. I have used it on windows, tile in kitchen. I have been pleased with performance. I wish it had a pivotal head that would let the head lie flat against surface while cleaning walls etc. It was a good purchase so far.
MacBook Pro M3 8gb, or MacBook Air M2 16 gb, I can get it both for the same price but I’m not sure.
M2 16gb, you will thank yourself a lot for giving yourself more RAM. M2 vs M3 there's no real difference, even M1 vs M3 is little to no difference. If you are using the Macbook for professional work I would try to get a MBP M2 though, the fans help a lot. Also recommend a 512gb/16gb config no matter what you're doing but 256gb/16gb MBA M2 should be more than okay for stuff like light gaming, browsing and video consumption. If you really need it you can just get an external drive/SSD to store stuff.
@@vhcrack I completely agree with this
👍🏻Costco $49.99👍🏻 Would love to know which brush is best for what jobs, and how to clean the brushes themselves.
To clean the brushes I like starting off with a rinse, then depending on how bad they are I’ll soak them in a degreaser
@@MatthewPCLO thank you! 👍🏻
I just bought a fully loaded 15 inch m3 MacBook Air yesterday for college! I don’t regret spending 2k one bit cause it’s future proof and same can be said for the m2
Definitely future proof for years to come! What specs did you load that 15 inch Air with?👀
@@MatthewPCLO 21 gigs of ram and 1 tb ssd midnight!
@@Dinkalinsky Damn dude! Nice!
@@MatthewPCLO I’m excited cause I still don’t know how to use it but I’m learning
@@MatthewPCLOI’m excited for you. I’m using a MBP M1 Pro and I still feel like I don’t push it to its limit. I never even hear the fab
I jumped from a 13" Hackintosh to a 16" MacBook Pro, I decided to get the M3 just because a local shop had a good deal on it. It was truly a night and day difference.
What laptop did you use for the Hackintosh?
Yeah! Tell us about the hackintosh
For years I had used a 2015 5K iMac and late last year I upgraded to an M1 MacBook Air. Everything and I mean everything was faster! So impressive how far Apple silicon has made the Mac come.
Absolutely, very impressive 💯
obvs a 2021 laptop is faster than a 2015 laptop nothing special
Thank you for watching❤ Let me know if you've upgraded to an Apple Silicon Mac yet! ⬇
Ya I ended up getting a M3 Pro 16' w/ 36gb of ram and it works pretty good for everything that I want. I'm now looking at moving away from lightroom and in the next few weeks I will pay the outright cost to go over to Photomator as I was able to test that out for a week and it has everything that I want out of a editing software. I rarely use photoshop itself unless I'm doing something very specific but they have pixelmator which can do that stuff which is the big thing. Now I came from a gaming laptop that was hooked into my proart display, so going from PC to Mac was interesting to say the least not so much the learning curve that was easy but all the things I couldn't install haha. Otherwise the speakers and display have been nothing short of amazing and even the keyboard feels pretty good tbh.
@@dakunclear Welcome to the Mac world my friend!
I can barely hear you on Mac speakers bro
Volume sounds fine for me. Are you detarded?
Where can i get a touch bar??
BestBuy has a lot of Touchbar MacBooks still for sale. I know Facebook Marketplace can also be a good place to get Apple products at a good price. If you're interested in getting a Touchbar MacBook, I'd recommend getting an M1 13.3" MacBook Pro.
ARE These worth buying refurbished?
@@freddymedina7430 Not at the moment. My point was if you already have an Intel Mac, and it performs adequately for your workflow, keep it and save some money and upgrade to Apple Silicon at a later date. Apple’s Refurbished Store is a great place to purchase Apple products, especially MacBooks. But currently they don’t sell any Intel MacBooks. You may find some used on third party marketplaces, but it won’t be worth it. If you’re in the market for a new MacBook, a good buy right now would be an M1 Air from Amazon - they have great deals on the older stock. Or get yourself a shiny M2 or M3 Air from Amazon, Apple, or even Apple’s Refurbished Store. Of course that all depends on your use case, you might need a MacBook Pro, but the MacBook Airs are usually enough as a general laptop. 🇺🇸 - www.apple.com/shop/refurbished/mac 🇨🇦 - www.apple.com/ca/shop/refurbished/mac
awesome
well, when I trade my old MacBook Air 2017 i5 for a MacBook air m2 was a game changer! In my experience, MacBooks with intel sucks... But, if we talking about a MacBook Pro, maybe it can be different
@@pugboladao I completely get your point. The Apple Silicon MacBooks are far superior to the Intel ones, I can’t argue that. I actually recently upgraded to an M2 Pro MacBook Pro because my Intel MacBook couldn’t keep up with my workflow. (plan on getting a video up about my upgrade) My main point for this video is that if you don’t have to spend the money right away and your current computer is good enough for your work, hold off and save your money :)
You saved me so much. I was trying to figure out the difference between rogue mini and rogue mini 2.0 and failed to see the original does not have a pocket clip like the new version. Thank you so much. A pocket clip is a must for me!
@@LaidOffPete Glad my video was able to help!
I just bought and I love. I can’t believe they gave to you and you said you wouldn’t spend money to buy it. 😳
@@studiosingyourstyle Well it’s an honest review haha I love the product but it’s not something I’d find myself using often if I purchased it. For consumers I think it’s best we buy products and spend money on things that we use frequently, that make it worth it to buy😁 With all that said, I still use it for all the use cases mentioned in my video. Although I have to say when I do a quick car wash I don’t have time to use the scrubber haha🤣
@@studiosingyourstyle I’m very glad you love it
I just received it as an early Christmas present when I saw it at Costco. And the main reason I wanted it was to be able to clean shower walls. The extendable attachment was my main reason. It’s well worth it. Especially for older people that have trouble scrubbing and reaching. I really liked your thorough review. I saw others that did not do a great job.
I help small channels
Is that the thing from temu
@@Eros-jr5nw Yessir! I got a video with the full details and demo of it on my channel
Best for kitchen tile grout
I bought it for $50 at Costco. My first use was for kitchen tile grout. There, the extension handle is important, because you want to be able to use it like a mop. I wish that the motorwas a little stronger. I felt that I really had to lean into it to get the job done. I was prespraying with Scrubbing Bubbles. and it went well - but hardly effortless. I see that tools like this are used a lot around the toilet.
100+$ for a keyboard? “Put 20$ aside and way” u need to touch some grass😊
Hi! I just upgraded to a 2019 i7 base model (lasto ones, from 2021), from a mid 2012 15" Pro Retina. Picked it for a very nice price, it's perfect and for what I do - social media card, light video editing, print ads and things likethis - this is what I need. Have it for almost a week and will keep it for a long time, certainly. Thanks for sharing your point of view. All the best!
The sound works only with 'Command' and 'Option' buttons in my macbook. It doesn't work in qwerty keyboard or other keys. What is the solution for that?
@@Amandeepsingh-dm6rg That’s odd🤔 Have you tried restarting your laptop? Or possibly even checking permissions are allowed for the app?
will the free version get my macbook charged to 80% if i turn off my macbook and charge
@@hazard5822 Unfortunately the app can’t limit charging when the MacBook is off, even if you buy a license. AlDente Pro does allow you to limit charging when the MacBook is in clamshell mode (laptop screen closed and using an external monitor and keyboard)
Could Temu be trusted with keyboards?
@@Discombonulatedsand Did you watch the video until the end?? The keyboard works fine, every key registers when pressed, and everything works as you’d expect a keyboard to. What I’d recommend is that you don’t buy a keyboard from Temu and instead, save your money and wait until you can afford to buy a better mechanical keyboard from a real reputable brand. Your experience will be immensely better.
