I’m a mechanic, and I bought that same endoscope off Amazon for like 40$. It’s not amazing quality, but it has been good enough for me to find a coolant leak under the supercharger of a Range Rover, and I was able to see the inside of the combustion chamber of a ford 5.0 to diagnose it as a bad motor. Definitely has saved me 40$ worth of time in the past couple months.
@notmichael78 those range rovers leak water pumps, plastic lines under the charger and a bunch of other things. Also you don't gotta remove the supercharger to replace those pipes. Take the throttle out, use a VIM stubby torx and snap on swivel with a couple extensions and you can get the bolts out. The new one comes in 2 pieces and fits with the charger installed
@@DarkMatterDoesMinecraft Those ranges with the SC V8 are just piles of mechanical garbage if it got into the hands of someone with no money, cause they are cheap these days. It's rare to find one that has been cared for after the 1st owner.
I got one on amazon for $29 that has a 4.5" screen, dual cameras ( 1 is 90 degrees from the main one) has the ability to record and came w/ a 32gb flash card and a case. I was blown away that they were able to put something together for such a low price.. A few years ago you couldn't touch one for less than a few hundred.
16:50 The lens is decently popular but isn't worth the price of $50 at all. People either make them homemade or you can buy them usually for $10 if you buy them from the right person. It is literally there for a nostalgic feeling for those who grew up using disposable cameras. Side note: if you want to make this at home, you can buy a disposable camera at a CVS (or use one you might already have) and use it until it runs out of the film. Just pop out the little glass lens at the front and order a lens mount cover for your camera. Measure the glass from the disposable lens and then cut a hole into the cap and hot glue the little glass onto the cap, and there you go
Yeah, Class 1 lasers dont legally need to be labelled in most circumstances I believe because they dont really pose any danger. Problem with these low quality products is that laser COULD be more powerful than that.
@@jeevanjacob4102 I work with lasers in an metrology environment, and we have to check every laser source with a fine power meter because it happens not infrequently that the lasers have higher power than their classification allows. Especially when working on class 2 lasers that suddenly have 10x power and are dangerous even without collimation. So I would never ever trust a cheap product with a "class 1" laser...
22:45 Gotta love the look on the IT guys face when they asked him if they can plug in a sketchy USB drive that literally instructs users to run an even sketchier sounding .exe file 😂😂😂
.exe files can be used to distribute viruses and other types of malicious software. If the computer was hooked up to the internet it might copy and send stuff anywhere without you knowing. Basically you should only ever use .exe's from highly trusted sources. @madiskruusmann302
@@madiskruusmann302 not an IT guy but I think sandbox refers to a locked or isolated setup where you can test softwares/virus without risking your system. An exe file is an executable file format used by windows for running applications.
That lockbox had a very quick downfall from "Way too expensive, but if you don't mind paying for the aesthetics..." to "Shut the fuck up! A subscription?!?" And then the cherry on top of the "Can charge 5 phones" with only 4 wires is just chef's kiss.
Just for reference the "retro pixel pro tiny computer" was not what was shown in the ad! The ad showed the Ambernic RG353 which a whole product on its own. Ambernic has their OWN site. 11:02
Your timestamp deeplink has nothing to do with your comment, and nowhere in the video is a "retro pixel tiny computer". Is this just some little 'guerilla marketing spam crew' thing, or what?
@@jamesliu233roookie think that was the whole selling point of dispolenses to imitate a disposable cameras look without having to spend on disposable cameras over and over again. Low-key annoyed they didn’t mention that as that’s their whole marketing campaign
That cheap lens reminds me of a little project that comes and goes every few years (in popularity): you take a disposable camera, remove the lens, glue it into a (3d printed) bodycap for your mount, and voila, you have very expensive camera shoot pictures like it 5 bucks + development! It is more of a novelty item, and as far as it goes i really like it for that, it does what it should and really comes close to the actual disposable camera pictures, without all the "disposable" waste. It mostly rides on nostalgia, so if you don't have that...
@@halokiller711 The material cost is minimal but they have had to do a fair amount of R&D for a niche product, can't just slap any lens in and expect it to work; it's expensive but not unreasonable. People always forget what is required to get there, optics is a wild field
Elijah is honestly one of the funniest people to even be given screen time and I'm so thankful for who ever decided to bring him to the front and give him a chance because my lord does he have me in stitches constantly 😂😂😂😂
I don't mind Elijah on his own. But when he and Linus are doing a video? It is fucking guaranteed to get a laugh out of me at least twice. Just the comedic differences of the two is perfect.
18:00 that’s converts your camera into an old school pin hole camera. It may be built with low quality materials but it’s actually a very interesting and fun tool for photographers looking for a fast cheap way for vintage style photos.
Or you can convert the photos in software with a filter after the fact and end up with better quality "low quality" photos AND be able to revert out of pinhole style if it doesn't look like you want.
Still way too expensive for what it is, especially if you live outside the US, therefore I don't consider calling it a scam bad when you can buy a knockoff that does the same for less on aliexpress for like 15$.
Have a BedJet, have for about 5 years, it's a great product if you don't have 8Sleep money. Don't get me wrong it's not an AC of any kind it has no onboard refrigeration so it can't drop temps below ambient but even ambient blowing under my sheets has eliminated my night sweats and gross sheets that have to be washed twice a week.
@@wave1090 Yeah but it would be janky and probably look bad and take up more space. I could also design and engineer my own grille and take a day to build it or I could just buy one. There's lots of stuff you could just make but don't.
18:16 as a concept this is completely fine, i think people should make their own though given how simple they are. Weird lenses are fun, and simulating a disposable camera is a cool look to try for very little.
he was mostly refering to the build quality, it was clearly printed on a cheap low quality 3d printer from temu or aliexpress, you can see the imperfections and printing lines even without a closeup.
@@JMKarymidoN no I get that, but their reaction to it didn't really make me think they got the point of it's existence. Tbh, if you're trying to buy one because you don't have a 3d printer or an old disposable camera to cannibalise and want one with better build quality than that, I'm inclined to think that other options are actually going to be more of a rip off considering they produce the same result and exist to emulate a cheap lens.
If you have a 3D printer and a disposable camera you could probably replicate it for much cheaper. I love the look and classic vibe of a disposable lens but $50 for that horrible plastic print is not it.
15:10, borescope. At $50, not horrible. We used those often in the automotive repair industry to look at engine interals without completely disassembling the engine.
My wife and I each have a bed jet. With the dual zone sheet it's been amazing. You can program routines based on time, so it will be warm when you first get into bed, and then cool overnight and then warm up again right before you wake up. It has an app that you can use, but you don't have to, you can just use the remote that comes with it. The app not being required was a huge selling point for me over the 8sleep.
I find it rare that I have to turn the fan above about 30%. I may briefly have the fan cranked all the way up for a few minutes right when I get in bed in the winter. But on the lower settings it is much quieter. And white noise, like a fan has been shown to be good for sleep, so I'm not sure how it would be bad for mental health.
@@Chipsaru A lot of people put on 10 hour youtube videos of fan noise, rain, ocean sounds or what ever to help them sleep. Plus all the natural background noise we're all gotten used to. I'd rather think something is wrong with YOU, if you can't sleep with that soft fan sound in your bedroom.
20:20 Like how Linus says "what are you not telling me?". He knows Elijah wouldn't just waste a grand for lulz, but still can't figure out what's the catch
That was genuinely funny. He was playing the role of the simple-minded consumer that actually buys shit like that. "Okay yeah I don't have any use for this thing right now but what if they stop selling it and I end up needing it??"
I also love how "owner of a company valued well over $100 million" acts like he's freaked out over $1000. I realize it's a bit more than anything else, but it always makes me chuckle.
@@travisharder It always makes me wonder why people are surprised that someone relatively rich is conscious about money and doesn't just spend it left and right...
12:04 I've bought that same exact "20 in 1" cleaner, and it has been the best thing for cleaning small electronics I've ever come across so far. The small and thin brushes are perfect for smartphones tiny crevices and the larges ones come handy when cleaning laptops. I've instantly bought a second one to the office and using it almost daily.
"Can we plug in this device and run the .exe" is something you KNOW someone does without even thinking. There's one at every company.

@@cooper10182 Same, It's not like they're lacking old, never to be used again, easily isolated from networks, sacrificial computers. Either the ones from the "cheapest laptop on such and such marketplace" videos or the ones from the scrappyards wars would have been perfectly fine
I was questioning why they didn't spin up a VM. They probably already have an image on hand, which would mean it would take basically no setup, there's zero chance that bunk is sophisticated enough to break out of a VM without a NIC, and it could be deleted in seconds.

They actually had ~4 of those little conference room guys in the Amazon warehouse I worked at for a while. They were fantastic for having conversations or taking a break from the background noise of the warehouse, because the base noise level was very high.
9:30 thats an Ambernic handheld if anyones looking for a non-dropshipped link. They do a pretty nice clamshell version thats modeled on the GBA SP. These little portable linux handhelds are getting powerful enough to emulate PS2 and even support some PC Ports for older/indie games. Usually around £50-70 for the good quality midrangers.
The lens at 18:56 has great vibes even if $50 is too much. I made my own e-mount dispo lens for $15 using a camera cap and a salvaged lens from a disposable camera and I love it more than my Sigma prime lenses. It brings back the nostalgic look of disposable cameras without having to resort to fake looking filters. I’ve had more fun with it than I have had with any other lens.
That endoscope is a good buy! I used it to help run cable in the walls AND I put it down inside the spark plug holes of my car to check for a head gasket leak. Don't sleep on that.
I have a "futon dryer" from Japan that's meant to kill bedbugs that's basically a MUCH cheaper version of the BedJet. Has a timer, so it only stays on for so long, but your bed IS nice and toasty if you get in right after. It even has a "summer mode" where it does the heating, then a short bit of cooling, that gets the bed back down to room temperature before you get in. Wouldn't say it's actually good for "cooling" but if you just want the heater, futon dryers are the way to go!
I’ve used a Bed jet for a few years now, the only bit of upkeep is cleaning the filter, no subscription I don’t even use the sheet as it doesn’t come standard, but I thoroughly enjoying it
18:45 I actually love the idea of the disposable camera lens on a regular camera body. I've been wanting to make one, but don't have a mirrorless camera, so the focal distance is wrong. It's for the old school vibes!!
Linus and Elijah getting the "No" from the admin: priceless Like two kids asking their father if they could install cheat_for_fortnite_not_virus.exe Or some of us wanted IRC back in the days... to chat of course Parents said no, kid finds a way to do it anyway and learns a lot about computers. Good times when ransomware was not a thing.
26:40 hospitals(at least i know in the US) use extremely similar products. When I went in for surgery they hooked one up to me, i think they said it was to keep my body temperature stable through the long surgery in a cold room.
It's called a bair hugger. They're used all around the world, 3M is the leading brand. They're thousdands of dollars new, so $430 isn't surprising for a consumer model, assuming it doesn't fail.
With the Aro Phone Charging Box, I like the idea that if you miss a payment on your subscription, it refuses to open and holds your devices hostage demanding a ransom (only annual memberships valid).
8:25 There is a metal stand in the FlipGo box, you can use it to stand the entire thing up. I have one. It's awesome for portability, though I recommend the 13" one more as it has better PPI. You can also get these as touchscreens, which is pretty cool with stuff like Samsung DeX. Though I will admit the brightness on the two displays is not exactly the same, but per display brightness is very uniform. And beyond like espresso displays or UPERFECT that are priced similarly, there are no good decent quality options for portable displays.
Wanted to add the same comment. I also got the small metal stand, that is easy to carry with. Have travelled quite a lot with it and so far happy. As I got it from kickstarter, then I got it at a cheaper price also.
@@eskamobob8662 You can, but at "100%", they are not the same. You can check it with a luxmeter, but it is also plainly visible on mine. It is not a huge difference and it does not annoy when the content shown is not the same across the displays, but in some situations, e.g. having aa single website stretched across the two displays, it can be distracting.
As a long time hot sleeper with a wife that is also a hot sleeper and we both like to cuddle...and have 2 dogs that sleep on the bed during summers and winters. The bed jet is absolutely worth the price. Our electricity bill went down by 25% because we use that to cool down or heat up the space under the covers rather than the whole house or room. Way more efficient and we actually feel cool or warm through the whole night. We have also tried other cooling tech stuff like the chill blankets and direct fans, cooling pillows, cooling sheets, cooling mattresses. None worked, this bedjet does. Hot sleeper approved, cold winter feet sleeper approved.
at 18:00 while I get the build quality isn't good, I think whoever saw the ad and purchased it, completely missed the point of what the Pocket Dispo Lens is supposed to do. Quick research would show you it's meant to give the feel and quality of disposable cameras/vintage film cameras. Yes, you could do it in post but for those who want to shoot and go I think for $50 it does a decent job.
@@Bladsmith I run a small shop where we manage a lot of Meta and TikTok ads, primarily for self-built products. With something as niche as that, you need to plan at least $25 of marketing spend per purchase and around $4 to build the product. They likely build them by hand in small quantities, only to have someone call them e-waste because they didn’t take 30 seconds to understand the product. These creators won’t be buying a Porsche from turning their passion into a business, even though it involves a lot of time and uncertainty. And, the effect was cool.
The alternative is to buy a generic body cap for your camera ($5 or less), drill a hole in it (if you have a drill already, you can get a cheap set of step drills for $5-10), and glue in an actual disposable camera lens. If you got a local film lab, they usually have bins of disposable cameras that go to a recyclers, so they'll give you some for free if you ask, the kodak funsaver ones are super easy to harvest the lens from. Even if you had to buy a new disposable for this, you could probably make your own for $30, obviously a lot more if you don't own a drill. So i agree it isn't the worst price, if you really want that look. But if you have a drill, some bits that can do 16mm holes, and free stuff from the lab, you can make your own for $10 or less.
Got the Ocean Galaxy Light not even from Temu, but from a local Chinese shop for the wife, and the mood light effect is like actually really nice. We got more of them (different versions) since then, and they're awesome. They consume next to nothing in terms of electricity, we can power them with leftover phone chargers or free USB ports on a PC or laptop, and they are perfectly enough to light up the room in colors. If You want to use the laser show (that is individually controlled, separately from the RGB, also independent from the Bluetooth or memory card music player) it is best placed slightly above eye level to avoid looking directly into the laser lens, which is actually not the big dome on the top, but the tiny piece of glass next to it. We also got it not for 8, but like 5 bucks 😂 If we take the garbage tier speaker into account, I would still give it a solid five out of seven.
In reference to the bed jet, when I was in school to become a veterinary technician and we used these with smaller sheet things, to keep animals warm while they are under anesthesia for surgery. They work really well for that. We also never used it to cool down an animals, typically we need to keep them warm.
The bed jet is awesome. I bought one with my stimulus check back during covid. Definitely worth it during the summer. The airflow keeps you cool. It's also nice to "preheat" your bed in the winter.
16:25 is actually not a scam. That’s the whole point of dispolens to recycle old disposable camera’s lenses for your mirrorless cameras. It meant to imitate a disposable camera look and seeing photographers reviews, it’s a solid product
11:03 that device that was gone is actually a really good product if you buy it from the manufacturer. I own one and it has a great selection of games pre installed and can run them all extremely well. Also just looks cool.
It's not just that one, too. The whole Chinese emulation handheld scene has really blown up recently and there's whole ranges of them. Most are on Amazon or have an official Aliexpress store too. Pretty neat buys.
Secret shopping accessories/headphones would be pretty pointless. Any purchase they make would be the same as if anyone did.. There is no customer experience for that stuff, it's just order online and wait. Not the same as if u were buying a prebuilt pc, were u talk to real people and can see how they cheap out on the build itself. What would they be "secret shopping"? Even If the product happens to arrive doa or with a defect. Ur not going to be talking to customer service, ur just gonna fill out a support ticket and ship it back. The only metric they could measure is quality of the product and how long it takes to go back and forth. Which is just a basic review.
I know, right? I got myself a 35xx plus from a bad one and waited like 2-3 months, but then I got a 35xx sp for my mom and it was here in like 2 weeks or less...
Yeah the device is real, just not the reseller (apparently). You can find reviews on multiple Abernic devices via Retro Game Corps channel to verify they exist lol
A place I worked at before called these things "phonebooths." They weren't truly soundproof but it was private enough if you spoke a little softer than usual.
17:22 I thought the lights just went off....!!! Yeah it works....!! Not great but it works....!! It's actually a kind of Pin hole camera / lense....where less the hole size , more you will get the clarity....!!
3:04 Y’all already built one it probably wouldn’t be too hard to just reverse engineer your own for a less than half the cost. It gives another project to do videos on too so it could pay for itself to an extent.
You should do a similar video where you compare the prices on facebook ad products and the prices of the same products on Chinese Taobao. I regularly find things marked up 5-10x for the international market by some drop shippers with a few sleek facebook video ads. The Apple lookalike docking hub you showed is 85 USD on Taobao, which is not a huge difference, but still remarkable. The monitor stand was 40 USD, but only 16 usd on taobao
You don't even have to go to China for that; Amazon usually has listings for half the price of drop shipping websites. Looking at it and at my empty bank account makes me want to scam people.
5:21 the fact that it didn't go off when Linus did that means it doesn't work, normally a co2 detector would go ballistic if you put it in a bag like that.
If you're rapidly breathing into a bag like that, most if not all of what you're breathing out is just the same air you breathed in. I doubt it had enough CO2 to be dangerous in it.
@@dekkonot have you used a co2 detector like that before? One deep breath near one is enough to overload the sensors. On most of the decent ones it even says to not do that because it could overload and damage it.
No they work. I know people who have them. They just tested them wrong. It's not an alarm but an air quality indicator. It only takes a measurement every 5 or 10 minutes.
He didn't even turn the device on. So we will never know. Birdie doesn't need the power cord, but it does need to have the wallmount installed to work.
The dispo lens is in the name, It is a disposable camera lens in a mirrorless camera, it is mean to give you the aethesic of a disposable camera, and when shooting landscape of outside it is actually pretty good. it is not meant to compete with glass, it is meant to give you a certain look... And if you use a flash in the camera it actually looks pretty close to disposable lens

18:30 those lenses are to give the photos a disposable camera look. And apparently is a look a lot of people want, Ive thought of buying one in the past
That camera lens and ones like it can be fun for creative SOOC disposable camera looking photos. I have a couple and they're fun to use from time to time. The images look like crap but that's the point. It's a disposable camera lens adapted to use with mirrorless.
11:00 What I shame, Anbernic actually makes solid retro handhelds. The only complaints I could expect are that its loaded with thousands of unlicensed roms and that the UI on the stock OS isn't the best.
The tiny camera lens is what's oftenly called a "lens cap lens" or "mount cap lens" or similar. The point is, it's a cap to cover the mount when "no lens" is attached, but this way you can still shoot something in a panick.
That's actually a really handy use case. Seems like there's more comments about that lens than any other product shown. People seem to like the effect. If it had been about $15 or even $20 the maker would probably have been inundated with orders.
14:55 Class 1 Lasers are actually safe for eyes Class 2 Lasers are safe because of the natural Eyelid closure reflex but class 3 and 4 are actually dangerous for your eyes (you can find class 3R laser in laser pointers and -scanners)
@@jannik4593 that's true as long as the company making the laser (they self certify) tests it correctly. The class also depends on the wavelength of light as it's based on whether you have a blink reflex to it (this is a terrible way of doing it by the way) Green lasers for example use frequency doubling crystals to convert infrared light to green, these aren't 100% efficient and still allow infrared light through. Manufacturers should block this, but often don't. So your class one green laser might actually have infrared in it, making it class 2 or 3. Source. Did a PhD in physics that involved using lasers daily and having to test them for public engagement and for general safety in the lab. None of the green laser pointers that we tested that claimed to be class 1, were class 1.

12:10 I had the same experience as Linus here - my grandma bought me this clock as a Christmas present and I was super exicted because it looked super cool.

11:50 Oh, I recognize the form factor of that battery tester. Even the slim ones like that are a dime a dozen. They're mostly intended to be included with battery storage boxes, where the tester will have its own little storage slot so as to not take up too much space that could otherwise be used for more batteries.
11:03 its an Anbernic RG353V just being resold by a 3rd party, probably non - legitimate, company. It even states the model number on the instruction manual in the video and on the box. There are many companies like this but, from what I’ve seen, they mainly sell Powkiddy consoles. I do have a 353V and it’s pretty great for handheld emulation. my unit also has android on it [which does not have Google Play support]. Most of these resellers tend to put pirated games on the consoles they buy and resell too. Something to keep note on. [Pls don’t pirate]

lmao at Linus' jaw dropping at how expensive the docking station was (~$150) - thats about the price point for a halfway decent dock, which probably wouldnt have *3* HDMI, or a built in display, or such a quality power brick, or a cute design. Weird standards coming from a guy that sells a $250 backpack 🤣
I want it and wanted to know if I can use it, so I looked it up. It is US$249, but they also pop up a mailing list discount of 50%. Since they are going to require an e-mail address at checkout anyway, just use your spam account to register.
I’m a mechanic, and I bought that same endoscope off Amazon for like 40$.

I think it has a "no-laser" mode
To be fair, if it's a class I laser as claimed, it should be safe to look at, especially when the beam is split into multiple
Yeah, Class 1 lasers dont legally need to be labelled in most circumstances I believe because they dont really pose any danger. Problem with these low quality products is that laser COULD be more powerful than that.
@@jeevanjacob4102 I work with lasers in an metrology environment, and we have to check every laser source with a fine power meter because it happens not infrequently that the lasers have higher power than their classification allows. Especially when working on class 2 lasers that suddenly have 10x power and are dangerous even without collimation. So I would never ever trust a cheap product with a "class 1" laser...

@@Lanka0Kera I was hoping for that too, you can easily set up a sandbox ^^
ok somebody please explain a .exe file and a "sandbox"
.exe files can be used to distribute viruses and other types of malicious software. If the computer was hooked up to the internet it might copy and send stuff anywhere without you knowing. Basically you should only ever use .exe's from highly trusted sources. @madiskruusmann302

18:00 that’s converts your camera into an old school pin hole camera. It may be built with low quality materials but it’s actually a very interesting and fun tool for photographers looking for a fast cheap way for vintage style photos.
@NerdRapper i know like the bit where they used it almost sold me on the vibe
Or you can convert the photos in software with a filter after the fact and end up with better quality "low quality" photos AND be able to revert out of pinhole style if it doesn't look like you want.
Still way too expensive for what it is, especially if you live outside the US, therefore I don't consider calling it a scam bad when you can buy a knockoff that does the same for less on aliexpress for like 15$.

My wife and I each have a bed jet. With the dual zone sheet it's been amazing. You can program routines based on time, so it will be warm when you first get into bed, and then cool overnight and then warm up again right before you wake up.

I find it rare that I have to turn the fan above about 30%. I may briefly have the fan cranked all the way up for a few minutes right when I get in bed in the winter. But on the lower settings it is much quieter.

These little portable linux handhelds are getting powerful enough to emulate PS2 and even support some PC Ports for older/indie games. Usually around £50-70 for the good quality midrangers.
The lens at 18:56 has great vibes even if $50 is too much. I made my own e-mount dispo lens for $15 using a camera cap and a salvaged lens from a disposable camera and I love it more than my Sigma prime lenses. It brings back the nostalgic look of disposable cameras without having to resort to fake looking filters. I’ve had more fun with it than I have had with any other lens.
That endoscope is a good buy! I used it to help run cable in the walls AND I put it down inside the spark plug holes of my car to check for a head gasket leak.

I have a "futon dryer" from Japan that's meant to kill bedbugs that's basically a MUCH cheaper version of the BedJet. Has a timer, so it only stays on for so long, but your bed IS nice and toasty if you get in right after. It even has a "summer mode" where it does the heating, then a short bit of cooling, that gets the bed back down to room temperature before you get in. Wouldn't say it's actually good for "cooling" but if you just want the heater, futon dryers are the way to go!

You can make your own sheet to fit that pretty easily.

Hell of a markup for a 20-minute print and a lens from a $10 disposable camera tho
@@Bladsmith I run a small shop where we manage a lot of Meta and TikTok ads, primarily for self-built products. With something as niche as that, you need to plan at least $25 of marketing spend per purchase and around $4 to build the product. They likely build them by hand in small quantities, only to have someone call them e-waste because they didn’t take 30 seconds to understand the product. These creators won’t be buying a Porsche from turning their passion into a business, even though it involves a lot of time and uncertainty. And, the effect was cool.
The alternative is to buy a generic body cap for your camera ($5 or less), drill a hole in it (if you have a drill already, you can get a cheap set of step drills for $5-10), and glue in an actual disposable camera lens. If you got a local film lab, they usually have bins of disposable cameras that go to a recyclers, so they'll give you some for free if you ask, the kodak funsaver ones are super easy to harvest the lens from. Even if you had to buy a new disposable for this, you could probably make your own for $30, obviously a lot more if you don't own a drill. So i agree it isn't the worst price, if you really want that look. But if you have a drill, some bits that can do 16mm holes, and free stuff from the lab, you can make your own for $10 or less.

If You want to use the laser show (that is individually controlled, separately from the RGB, also independent from the Bluetooth or memory card music player) it is best placed slightly above eye level to avoid looking directly into the laser lens, which is actually not the big dome on the top, but the tiny piece of glass next to it.

@@BoneStack117 noo, the light behind them has this hazy effect making it look like they are using a morphed lens which keeps the characters in focus and the background is unfocused but also foggy.
Its like The batman movie 2022 starring Robert pattison.
The vaseline edit, my favourite lol
25:30 I am disappointed by your choice of IKEA bedtime plushie, you've gone with the Blåvingad (Whale) when you should've chosen the superior Blåhaj (shark)
Blåvingad still needs lovd
Whale LAN
djungelskog > blahaj > everything else
Blåååhaaaj
The conviction with which you say "I don't know" at 13:33 is what sent me over the edge with laughter. Don't ever stop these. Please. I beg of you. Watching Linus flounder under the financial losses of these videos makes me inexplicably happy.
18:30 those lenses are to give the photos a disposable camera look. And apparently is a look a lot of people want, Ive thought of buying one in the past
ngl i kinda liked how it changed the whole image.
Right, but the lenses cost 0.5 to $1 on Aliexpress... so yeah
That camera lens and ones like it can be fun for creative SOOC disposable camera looking photos. I have a couple and they're fun to use from time to time. The images look like crap but that's the point. It's a disposable camera lens adapted to use with mirrorless.
00:43 I love how there's a distinction between software and anime video games
11:00 What I shame, Anbernic actually makes solid retro handhelds. The only complaints I could expect are that its loaded with thousands of unlicensed roms and that the UI on the stock OS isn't the best.
The tiny camera lens is what's oftenly called a "lens cap lens" or "mount cap lens" or similar. The point is, it's a cap to cover the mount when "no lens" is attached, but this way you can still shoot something in a panick.
That's actually a really handy use case. Seems like there's more comments about that lens than any other product shown. People seem to like the effect. If it had been about $15 or even $20 the maker would probably have been inundated with orders.
1:09 even though I couldn’t hear Linus, I can still hear “this segue to our sponsor”
14:55 Class 1 Lasers are actually safe for eyes
Class 2 Lasers are safe because of the natural Eyelid closure reflex
but class 3 and 4 are actually dangerous for your eyes (you can find class 3R laser in laser pointers and -scanners)
@@jannik4593 that's true as long as the company making the laser (they self certify) tests it correctly. The class also depends on the wavelength of light as it's based on whether you have a blink reflex to it (this is a terrible way of doing it by the way)
Green lasers for example use frequency doubling crystals to convert infrared light to green, these aren't 100% efficient and still allow infrared light through. Manufacturers should block this, but often don't. So your class one green laser might actually have infrared in it, making it class 2 or 3.
Source. Did a PhD in physics that involved using lasers daily and having to test them for public engagement and for general safety in the lab. None of the green laser pointers that we tested that claimed to be class 1, were class 1.
18:55 this camera lense looks like it toggles on real life temporal anti-aliasing
The phone charging box thing at 23:00 would literally be cheaper as a pi pico w project plus a 3d printer, some scrap teakwood, a magnetic lock, and other ancillary parts. In fact that’s probably what their first one was made of…
You mean instead of metaphorically cheaper?
@@citypavement That is what he means
@@citypavement Literally here doesn’t mean “not metaphorically”, but instead it means “in practice”. A more fitting replacement for “metaphorically” in your message above, is “theoretically”. Something can be possible in a very specific situation (theoretically). Or it is possible in a general range of situations (in this case what I believe literally implies).
19:05 I thought they turned off the lights😂
Same 😂😂
Dude I can’t get over how good Elijah is on these videos. Him and Linus are such a good duo together
12:10 I had the same experience as Linus here - my grandma bought me this clock as a Christmas present and I was super exicted because it looked super cool. Then I opened the box - speaker wouldn't connect, wireless charging didn't exist, buttons barely functioned. Even the instuction booklet was for a different product! Moral of the story, don't buy from ads lmao 😂
5:21 Birdie doesn't need the power cord, but it does need to have the wallmount installed to work. Too bad they didn't read the manual.
They never do. x)
Yeah, it works wonderfully at my place!
Yeah it's a bit disappointing when they laugh about a product but don't test it properly. I know he said it's probably working fine, but that wasn't the vibe they were giving off.
Well i enjoyed that alott, can’t wait for part 2. Side note i think that niche magnetic box that uses a subscription could be rigged up using an Arduino, some magnets, and a bunch of other scraps that you can get for a quarter of the price.
And if you like the idea and looks of it, you can probably buy it without subscription and change/reprogram the MCU for very cheap
3:15
WHAT?
I love this concept! LTT"s been getting even more gold recently and I love it!
Just like his hair lol
How is this gold? Anyone can buy a bunch of garbage online.
@@citypavement I can't I'm poor
Linus: *Goes to his infrastructure admin* "Should I plug this shady looking device in?"
Admin: "I dunno boss, do you feel like buying new work stations and servers?"
They could do it on a shitty laptop that's going on the christmas pile anyway. Making sure it's not on the network first obviously.
11:50 Oh, I recognize the form factor of that battery tester. Even the slim ones like that are a dime a dozen. They're mostly intended to be included with battery storage boxes, where the tester will have its own little storage slot so as to not take up too much space that could otherwise be used for more batteries.
For all the harsh words that that 3d-printed lens got, it does bring an interesting lo-fi spooky vibe to the video.
Yeah it kinda makes it feel like watching the video in a dream
11:03 its an Anbernic RG353V just being resold by a 3rd party, probably non - legitimate, company. It even states the model number on the instruction manual in the video and on the box. There are many companies like this but, from what I’ve seen, they mainly sell Powkiddy consoles. I do have a 353V and it’s pretty great for handheld emulation. my unit also has android on it [which does not have Google Play support]. Most of these resellers tend to put pirated games on the consoles they buy and resell too. Something to keep note on. [Pls don’t pirate]
hell naw, if i cant buy a game anymore, its not piracy to download it for free.
Elijah and Linus energy is impeccable. Love these two together.
23:52 Missed opportunity to set up Elijah as the next "You're fired" candidate. "What's the admin password?" "You're fired, that's the password!" LOL
24:30 Surely there's an airgapped laptop you could try lol. That said, I don't trust the photo stick. That's one that my mom fell for, and I just never wanted to give it a try because of that fear.
26:04 Like that time you watercooled your bed lol
2:05 Elijah throwing Logistics under the bus again.
Saw this video a few days ago. Came back to say that $50 crappy looking 3D printed lens had such an amazing vibe. I need one
Dude it's 30 minutes since launch and there's already 300 comments!
Linus, you and your team are very loved with many devoted & involved fans.
And welcoming too! I'm a pretty new subscriber and new to tech stuff and everyone has been super nice and helpful. Genuinely welcoming instead of condescending. Love this community! ❤️
12:21 key cap and key switch puller may not be a cleaning tool but it does aid in cleaning when you have to strip your board bare and give it a deep clean.
I actually bought one of those endoscopes. Have used it for doing boiler inspections. For the price it is amazing. It actually has two lenses. One on the end and one on the side.
I've been using a Bedjet for a long while
Absolutely must have for anyone that can afford it, game changer for the sleep
id love to see the more niche versions of these with the comparison to either your best solution or an inhouse solution and why its better.
0:35 the lowpass filter on the music when the door closed was gold 🤯
lmao at Linus' jaw dropping at how expensive the docking station was (~$150) - thats about the price point for a halfway decent dock, which probably wouldnt have *3* HDMI, or a built in display, or such a quality power brick, or a cute design. Weird standards coming from a guy that sells a $250 backpack 🤣
I want it and wanted to know if I can use it, so I looked it up. It is US$249, but they also pop up a mailing list discount of 50%. Since they are going to require an e-mail address at checkout anyway, just use your spam account to register.
1:04 cries in freedom
The first product reminds me of what a few companies have started rolling out for headphone demos at audio trade shows, and for that it's phenomenal
22:24
magnetically lock? I'm pretty sure a kid can just open it, magnetic locks aren't usually very good.
