Nal: I don't want to get up to open curtains.
Also Nal: you need a raising desk and a treadmill.
ima confused why it is not just a normal desk. I mean a normal height desk would be a standing desk for her, right ? :D :D
...
ok, ima see myself out :)
the inkless printer is what is known as a thermo printer and it is also how they print receipts. there are a couple of ways they can work but often they use special paper that changes color when heated. the keyboard thing probably works ok but it is hard to detect where something is with as much accuracy that the device would need so it is probably very buggy. again there is a lot of ways it can work so I won't speculate.
Don't know what that one is, but portable laser printers exist. I didn't need portable, but I wanted a tiny footprint and didn't want expensive paper or ink. Mine works great and fits in a drawer. I could see using it when buying a car or house to print a document you didn't know you'd need. Or when interacting with government or healthcare that is stuck in the stone age.
@@ur_quainmaster7901 if your printer uses ink or toner, it's ok. But the printer shown is a thermoprinter. It needs special thermopaper and a print made with it is not document-safe: its illegal to submit official forms from it as the print decays over time
@@Bfritz0815 yeah, much like 99% of the gadgets shown, they're actually terrible. you could easily, and probably do, use at hand alternates. like the handbag light Nal liked, we all have phones with torches. nothing here was amazing and actually even a struggle to say they were good.
This is so cool to know thank you!
For that laser keyboard i saw unwingily a video about, when you want to press a key every 5 seconds only then its for you but otherwise just use a keyboard
2 things, for the plant waterer...er, some people will say that introducing some air into the water before it goes into the soil is a good thing; that's why you see some of the hose options on the multi head hoses outside (a little like you airate wine, but ... not really?) The hair in the shower one, people would rather clean hair off the wall then out of their drain, if you're not cloging your drain with your hair then you're fine you're not doing it wrong. Unless you're on septic, then wall hair is better because you want as little going into the septic as possible.
I like how hard we work to invent things, so we can be lazy.
That's the only reason why we have some inventions in the first place
see a need fill a need
Work smarter not harder!
So we invent things that make us do more work? Nothing ever invented was invented to make something harder to do
This is so true 😂
8:55 self-proclaimed gardener here. seeing that you have a humidifier in you room, all you plants need is spray of water from time to time and not to over water the plants
The pouring from a teapot or measuring cups only pours on one spot, and plant roots are around the plant pot, so you only pour from the one spot and not properly moisturize the dirt, I believe.
you know you can move your hands around the plant i hope
@@Alx56 Well, not my wife. My wife tends to pour on one spot with measuring cup, but luckily, they're small plants, so it didn't matter much. I also think the gardening jugs do pour the best amount of water than just pouring from cups, and they tend to watering the leaves too, so they washed away the dust. Spray bottles are also great for big leaf plants, for removing dust.
the reason the watering method matters to plants is so u dont disturb the roots. a single pouring jug will move dirt out of the way leaving a small hole deeper into the dirt and can expose the roots to sunlight or light in general which will kill that section of the roots if the dirt is not replaced back over said roots. basically watering with a jug with a single pouring spout can possibly damage/harm and even make the plant die if not careful while if u spread the water out over a larger area it wont move the dirt as much saving ur plant in the process possibly. im not really a gardner personally but thanks to my mom who is one ive learned quite a bit about plant health to the point i can tell what nutrients a plant needs if its showing signs of nutrient deficiency. tho thats a bit more in depth. the type of water u use also matters as in the PH of the water. if the water ph isnt correct for some plants then they will outright die because of nutrient lockout. a teapot will work just fine also u just need to make sure the dirt doesnt get displaced and start showing roots is all. its a bit more work is all that the other watering thing save u from doing. hope this helps in some way. also no its not good to let hair go down the drain as it can clog it up over time. learned that the hard way myself.
The plant watering thing depends on the plants, as far as I know from my mother's plant watering regime.
Only use finger temp water, your dry finger put into the water should only feel wet, not hot or cold when in the water.
Robust plants can easily take the water from the teapot, measuring cups or watering jug.
The more delicate plants could require water either from similar means or have a pot with holes in it and a dish below where water is fed to the plant.
Why?
Because sudden changes or standing water can damage or make the roots system rot.
An automatic system with sweating hoses is a good alternative for those plants when going away.
Orchids with air roots should be treated differently from the rest, usually with an minimum hour long soak in water.
Fill the pot to the brim, let it sit for over an hour and carefully drain the pot without loosing the wood bark chips they have in the pot.
Some specialist plants would do better with misted water, but you won't find those in a usual home.
All in all, you're trying to replicate their native environment in your home, that's why all the different ways.
9:13
It uses Thermo-reactive paper.
Basically, it works by heating the spots on the paper that it "printing" on. The paper is made to turn dark when heated,
Only problem with these types of printer is that the print tends to fade after some time.
Some start fading very fast, like in a couple of days, other may last for half a year or more.
This is why you should always either copy, or photograph, a reciept that doubles as proof of warranty, because the reciept will have faded long before the warranty is out.
As someone with cerebral palsy and limited use of one of my hands/arms, a lot of those little gadgets would give me full independence with stuff I either can't do easily, or not at all. Automatic lights are a godsend, the curtains would be even better! You always add happiness to the internet in what you do, keep it up!
8:00 When using a waterer with a "shower head" type system, is less harsh on the top soil and more evenly distrabutes the water, instead of all in one area and it having to make its way around. Think more even coverage or rain simulation.
Soil compression is the only thing I can think of its against but the tool does not look like it makes the water smaller so maybe not, the best thing would be to have water thinly spread out as you water so not to compress the soil. Compressed soil will choke the roots and you would have to repot them often, some species has a very hard time with it while others can handle it for a time. Just check the plant and the soil its very hard it might be time for a repot otherwise you are all good. If you do want to change something a small watering can with the small holes should do fine unless you have some very specialised plants
The watering thing, your kettle or a cup can be sat down anywhere between plants, that thing if you move your thumb or sit it down you have a mess.
ok so i grew up on an apple orchard in Victoria and i'm going to tell you at you don't need the silly shower head device. just pour your water slowly around the base of your plants and you'll be fine if you have outside plants or ones near a heat source then water them AT LEAST half an hour after the sun has gone down at the end of the day or beforree it comes up at the start of the day. the sun (or other heat sources) evaporates a lot of the water off the top layers of soil or leaves and whatnot before the roots have a chance to absorb it.
i hope that helps with your home plant care (personally i hate gardening in all forms but 17 years of living on an orchard means you learn stuff)
00:40 Yeah, that's pretty much the same face that I made when I saw that the cup had a chocolate starfish on top :D
To the garden topic: it doesn't make it better. If you fill it up and walk to the plant, you drip around the house. If your finger slips a bit, you drip around the house. Also, it's too big you need big pods and plants that grow high enough, so you can fit this thing under the plant or, you guessed it, drip around the house.
One benefit is that the water is spread out. If you use a glass, you have one heavy stream that will, over time, wash the soil away.
8:40 about watering plants: best that I found are Plant Watering Bulbs. As the soil dries, the bulb lets out water until the added water pressure in the soil exceeds the bulb.
The airpods one made me laugh. Someone already invented that, its called normal wired headphones and they cost like 10 bucks. Even the apple ones.
Never understood why people spend so much money on airpods which are literally less convenient in almost every-way. Like, they are so easy to loose, if you loose one you have to buy a whole new pair, you have to recharge them all the time, and they cost as much as a proper fancy gaming headset that has 3d surround sound, 7.1, etc etc.
The wired ones are exactly the same as airpods, but they have a wire. 100-200 bucks for a gaming headset, 140-270 bucks for airpods lmao
With the plant watering thing like, I guess its more spread out water pouring so it has more of the soil surface wet, there are certain plants where that would matter (Like I have a cactus that would grow more toward the area you wet most so if you want it to grow straight you have to water it fairly evenly etc) but for the most part lets be real the teapot is fine, as long as you're watering your plants it's fine.
The airpod gadget made me laugh so hard, like, just get regular headphones! Lmao
So now single people can just say "I have issues getting it in the hole."😂
Always liked the hologram keyboards, will be more cool stuff coming out
I think the thing about the teapot for watering plants might be of connection (maybe) about the benefits of putting tea (leaves) in plant soil. When you incorporate tea leaves into your garden soil, they release nitrogen naturally which helps balance out any carbon-rich materials that may already be present. Reusing tea leaves also helps you improve drainage and adds to soil structure.
I'm a retired public safety dispatcher and a few years before I retired, our department got our center 6 raising desks, one for each dispatch position. When you're working 12-16 hour shifts and spending most of it sitting, they were a godsend.
That plant waterer seems to disperse the water around and you can control it to slowly be like rain which is best for plants and not be waterboarded and then nothing till the plant is dry.
You may or may not have given away some truth, but definitely got it. I am not going to lie, but the water bottle for dogs is really good and practically useful. I have one and I don't regret buying it.
I love that you actually got one and it works!
I still don't understand the poop scoop though... the scoop is still going to be dirty until you find a place to wash it off...
The plant waterer has been around for centuries. I don't know that it's any "better," but it spreads the water under control and more gently
Nalopia to answer your question about the watering item for plants, it just dispurses the water more. just take a milk jug and poke holes in the lid. Same thing and you recycle lol
I love this idea better!
Not a gardener, but I think it's just the idea that you have something dedicated for watering plants. Instead of "just get a bucket or a cup" or whatever you use "the watering device."
Creator of EarPods : "I HATE having wires dangling from my ears when I have ear buds in, lets make them wireless!
Wearer of EarPods: "I HATE that these things keeping falling out of my ears and they are constantly getting lost, lets add a wire to them!"
People who never switched from wired earbuds seeing the new wired - wireless EarPods: "Duh!"
11:18 Yes Amber, you're doing it wrong. DON'T LET YOUR HAIR GO TO THE SEWER SYSTEM FOLKS!
I'm a bioengineer, especiallized in wastewater treatment.
The reason why hair should not go in the drain it's because, once the wastewater arrives to the treatment station, the hair (wich can be tons in some cities) starts to gather into condensed layers that literally breaks the metals (especially iron) of the infrastructures...
Fun, but not so fun fact: The repairment of that will 'cause a raise on the money that the state takes from your wallet 😅
9:15 Pretty sure it uses special paper that darkens with heat. I've seen printers like that, you think it's good you wont be paying for ink but then you have to buy special paper.
The keyboard one...
Did you not have smart boards in school in the final years before you left? These work basically the same way: project an image onto a surface, and embedded sensors which have been calibrated to detect movement in a certain area know precisely where you're putting your finger, or say, a stick which looks and feels like a pen, but isn't a pen. The only difference is that the sensors here are embedded into the projector, rather than the surface itself.
Schools all across the UK started getting these ca. 2002-2003. Shit this makes me feel old, knowing that they've been around 20 years, and that 20 years ago I was in High School lol
5:09 I don’t think birds sing at 12 PM 😂😂
the container you are using for watering your plants doesent really matter, sure there are some plants where its better if you water them in-directly or with a sprayer because they need that kinda humid vibe, but "normal" plants dont care what you use, as long as its water.
(but i would use something with a relatively small nozzle or a siv or something, dont dump it on the plants like emptying a bucket.)
EDIT: printers that dont use ink use ink powder, its actually really good because it doesent dry up and in my experience doesent smear the printed stuff arround if you rub on the paper, i have been using a powderprinter for like 5 years now.
Nothing makes that better than using a regular teapot or jug to water plants.
My best guess for the gardening is that it is a measured amount of water so that the plant isn’t under watered or overwatered to prevent diseases in the roots
Tap water can be harsh so it might filter it as well.
It’s also so the water is evenly distributed like rainfall, the roots are all getting a chance to drink; meaning the plant is getting a chance to grow like an outdoor plant.😊😮
Oh thank you!!
11:00 that's clogging the drain speedrun
2050 gadget idea - artificial birds that looks real , chirps and sings outside your window
A channel where you just test out crazy products would be fun
0:37 can't see that cup turning into other uses :P 7:06 roll it on the counter before you cut it that is all you needed to do for the juices to flow
11:24 the led projector is pretty nice have to have a clear wall ( white) or a sheet pulled straight. for it to work good
10:40 well I always stick my hair on the wall because where else am I meant to put it, and it also doesn't wanna come of from my hands so I can't just drop it
First off the projector looks like the one I bought and it has like 360p or worse, so I wouldn't recommend it. Secondly teapot is fine but the root system will congregate to the spot you pour the water and this one evenly distribute the water so the roots will be more spread out. The roots congregating in one spot can make it so they fight for dominance and kill each other off or they smother each other. If you just turn the plant a little or water from more angles you shouldn't need to buy this one. Last but not least thanks for the great video looking forward to the next one.😎
The printer uses no ink but (most probably) thermo transfer. it is cheap technology used, for example in label printer.
It is more like rain and is less stressful to the plants roots. using anything that pores disturbs the dirt a lot and can cause stress to the plants by the roots. Mind you some stress for some plants is wanted.
I actually have the tripod/selfiestick thing shown at 3:46 😂
the best cat gadget you can get is a robot litterbox. Dont have to change the litter so much, and it wont smell bad
the printer is probably a heat printer and uses a special paper to print. its the same machanisem they use to print receipt in supermarkets
9:20 I think it's a lazer printer, it burns the paper's surface to imprint the information.
I have an cable organizer on my desk. It's called nails...
For hair down the shower drain, just use a foaming drain cleaner every few months. Preventative maintenance. Use it on other drains (sinks) as well. Brand doesn't matter.
love 3 minits in par
3:40 minutes
Great vid Nal. Some of those things are really cool. Some of those things aren't worth the plastic they used to manufacture them.
You should consider doing an Amazon gadget unboxing. That would be cool
Hi Nalopia , in the corner of your room, under the 5 on your wall and behind your plants is a light that shines different colours up on the wall.. what is it called and where did you get it from please.. my wife is driving me crazy about it. Cheers
The dispersion rate when watering plants is better and more evenly spread than when you use a teapot Nal. Water doesn't go down that quickly but more gradually as well
You’ve seen me use the tea pot to water right ? 😂
@@Nalopia Yeah that's why I mentioned it 😉🥰
4:04 that exists for at least 10 uears. I remember that from pimp my ride.
Standing a lot for work increases the chances for variose veins. (Same is true for a lot of sitting, but only if you overlap your legs a lot.)
For he hair: there are drain sievs that help collecting long hair.
The funniest part of this video is Nal pretending she can't stand at a regular desk.
🤣
That's why she said "electric stairs": she uses stairs to reach her desk when not in her chair
Definitely shouldn't be washing hair down the drain if you can help it. Drains don't love carrying hairs, and eventually you'll be needing a plumber, or at the very least, needing to be using some very strong cleaner such as lye (sodium hydroxide) to dissolve it.
If you have a standalone shower, you may have a trap embedded into the drain which makes this a non-problem, but if it's a shower/bath combo, or just a bath, yeah, eventually you're probably going to have a very slow draining bath/shower.
The plant watering thing is just for aesthetic and marketing. Not worth sacrificing time and money over beauty.
I believe that that inkless printer uses heat to char and burn the white paper. The paper must be of good quality and thick.
The automatic switches are total opposites of what the standing treadmill encourages :)
Nal was thinking of future investment with the bowl.
Nal that’s a thermoprinter do not get one !!! If you are printing something you need to save the paper print out fades to nothing over time or if the place you store it gets warm then the whole paper gets dark to black!!
1:58, I'll say it for ya Nal....that's what she said!
The projectors you can buy on amazon,some things are useful but some not,you keep tripping up on your words amber,love the content
1:57 clipped
The laser or LED keyboard isn't new but it is fun to show off when pretending to work at Starbucks. :D I tried one but prefer the tactile click and key travel of a mechanical keyboard.
Also the printer is a thermal printer like receipt printers for cash registers.
I can't exercise and work at the same time. Treadmills require concentration...it's never just "walking in place", you're have to make sure you're keeping speed (regardless what speed you put it on), and trying to do that while working up a sweat, breathing heavy AND trying to put focus on your work? That's just unneeded stress you're adding on yourself. I also don't want to stand and move while gaming...there's a reason I didn't care for motion controls back in the Wii days, I like being comfortable when I game.
Look amazing in this video even better than usual, ten out of ten don't ask me a colour.
Also a fan of the gadgets haven't seen any of them before some really cool ideas.
Definitely shouldn't be letting hair go down your drain, if there is calcium buildup or something already caught in the pipes it will wrap up and cause a clog.
Then you either use caustic soda and warm water to clear it (hopefully) or pay a plumber
if you dont loose much hair when you notice your drain starts to get clogged get a 14 ph pipe cleaner and follow the instructions
Put a magnet on your desk cables and all you'll do is introduce lag into your gaming, electrons don't like travelling through magnetic fields when they have shit to do.
Those airpods cords made me fscepalm lol
Quite a lot of these are designed for accessibility for disabled people. A gadget may look useless to you but it could really help others. Not having a go at Amber but it’s just something to keep in mind!
Got my fair share of NAAAURS in this video 😅😅
The one with watering the plants allows you to get the whole area of dirt wet rather rhe water in one centralized area because the root system spreads around the pot.
3:38 shower. its where all great things were first thought up.
hold on. HOLD ON. Nalopia...did...did we really go from wanting no cords on headphones to now buying cords as an extra feature!?!?!!?!?!?!?
What height do you have to be for every desk to be a standing desk?
7:45 the Swiss Army knife for dogs
The air pods one is more commonly Known as headphones
Great video again as always!
Just say the dating the whole point of the lime slice being in the spout of the bottle is not for the citruz taste, its to actually keep the flies away from your drink! They hate citruz! 🤣😊X
Wasn't meant to say dating meant to be "STATING"😂
I bought those LED dimmer stickers years ago as the blue standby LED on my monitor was bright AF.
I'm so glad I did. They are awesome.
If it is still too bright after using a stick, just add another.
@tuck shop I just turn off my power strips when I am not using my TV, XBOX, etc. :P
I just used tiny bits of black electrical tape.
I also used it on my alarm clock so I can still tell the time but not block it.
Black insulation tape is best for blacking it out.
8:33 nothing, looks good, it's a pretty tool 😅 if i REALLY wanna stretch it, since it's pretty large, you can have an even water distribution without like ... moving your hand ? 🤣 i guess it comes in handy if u have arthritis
In Germany, we say "Necessity is the mother of invention." . Most people wanted to do something, like not spill their drink or see in their handbag, thought about it and came up with a solution. Sounds easy but isn't.
Please Dont Use Passenger Floor Of Your Car As A Bin . And Those Curtain Open/Closer Thing Still Aint Cheap .
She don't have trouble getting it in the hole . Hahaha she cracks me up
An Idea:
Buy Gadgets you like and try on stream
the light keyboard has been around for years
8:37 imo that makes it worse, the ouside is wet, so it will keep droping and getting your floor wet.
12:00 Share another pro tip for cat people.. Get the breeze litter system. Throw out the pelets that come with it.. Buy pet/cat friendly pine pelets.. How this works is as the cats use the litter, it breaks up the pelets and they fall through the sifter where you have a puppy pad (dont buy theirs get generic 21x21 inch ones) it keeps the smell WAY down and clean up is.. ummm a Breeze? Sorry! lol
She doesn't do givaways.. Nice try!
I'd use that non-spill cup ...but not the way you guys thinking about🙂
Don't stick hair to walls just get a drain cover they are dirt cheap and work like a colander.
as long as you are sufficiently watering your plat a tea pot is fine
Light keyboards have been around for at least 20 years. Hopefully, they have improved enough in that time that they are actually useful now. They used to require just the right surface and would regularly miss letters and add ones you didn't touch.
I was never a fan. The best thing about a physical keyboard is the physical and auditory feedback you get from pressing the keys...light keyboard gives you nothing. And yes I'm one of those people that likes vibration and sound on my phones keys as well lol.
They are pretty reliable nowadays thanks to AI, take a look at augmented reality stuff on your phone if it supports it and you will be amazed how well the software can recognise flat surfaces near it and various objects on it.
I have seen reviews of the lime thing and it is really cheap and it snapped in half.
You should try wood pellets for cat litter they are pine scented and work great
Am i the only one who will wave back at the end of each video
I LOVE THAT PEOPLE DO THIS 😭😭
I have a treadmill walker, it comes over twice a week to take it out for walks
Ok this is funny 😂
As a guy with longer hair. It’d go to the ground and go down the drain if I let it. So I’ll stick it to the wall and then toss it after the fact.
