For the "Sim Card" Reader, actually in Taiwan, we have "Citizen Ditial Certificate" just like digital ID card, which can do lots for things online, upload tax report(specially on May) , apply government documents, etc, which is really convenient for us(and online banking by bank card). it can read SIM card contacts, but we usually do other things because it can read IC cards.
Hey Austin! I am the one who greeted you in the Guanghua Shopping Mall :) Big fan of you! I’m so glad to see you making a video about Taiwan stuffs. Keep up the good work!🙂
Taiwan likes having their mascots be anime girls. I mean they have the posters of what you're not supposed to do in a train station and they have anime girls telling you not to do stuff on those posters.
Austin, Saf: You guys fail at the single most important skill needed in Asian markets - PRICE HAGGLING :) Love you both but you guys are totally Asian shop vendors' wildest, wettest dreams. :P
+Christian Siauwijaya: Fair point, though daily firsthand experience in Hong Kong in similar tech malls in SSP and Wanchai says otherwise. Taiwan may indeed be a bit different - been years since I visited there. Yes, of course, one cannot haggle nearly as much in malls as in street markets in Asia but I come from the school of "No Harm To Try". :)
That is a SIM card reader, copies all your SIMs into one SIM, that way, you can use 500 in 1. It's mostly for frequent travelers. There should be a blank SIM for you to copy onto.
SIM cards can be used for secure authentication as well, basically, the smart card readers on some laptops, very commonly used by government agencies and military in the USA are just a credit card with a sim card.
You always help me calm down Austin. I am 11 and have lots of friends. Then this morning my mom told me we were moving to England permanently. It is gonna be a big change for me. Wish me best of luck!
Thats like your daily spending there (Lol) But there is a town called Barrow,Alaska which is the northernmost town in the U.S. A bottle of hand sanitizer literally costs 25$ there,not even kidding
This IS NOT modem, you can cannot connect to internet using this, it's just a SIM card reader. The SIM card reader is for reading data saved on SIM card, mostly contact list (remember that SIM card can hold something around 250 contacts). It require 3rd party application to read/clone it. You probably can even clone all the data from one SIM card to another if you got proper software
Hey Austin welcome to Taiwan! This video is lovely. You should’ve met Syntrend next to this mall, which is much cooler and way more modern. These stuffs you bought are really weird and kind of garbage. But my sister bought the pink lens and it actually works fine. The other ones... I won’t even take a look. 😂
Having been to that mall myself, I was pretty underwhelmed. The items were basic and straightforward, with the prices usually higher than what you can find online. It's NOT China, it's Taiwan...so weird and cheap is hard to come by.
Well they are mostly legit, back in the day, I am talking 2009-2010 when internet services weren't widespread in my country people used to use those things for internet, and they were usually faster than the few broadbands that were available
These Chinese and Taiwanese malls seem so weird, this concept of very small stores selling all kinds of weird cheap tech stuff is completely different of anything I've seen around here, I'd feel so confused in there.
You can think of it like a mini department store for tech, so you literally find everything tech related here. As for the weird stuff, well I suppose you can still find it on Alibaba or ebay, just not as easily here.
I guess the closest to that is the El Corte Inglés we have here in Portugal, which has floors organized by types of goodies and are completely open, being organized in several small areas for each store, divided only by small walkways. Indeed, I find that super confusing and even quite claustrophobical - quite a bad experience, the last time I went there!
To pair the headphones : Press at them both at the same time,then it will tell you it is connected.This can take some time like 30 seconds or so.then connect to Bluetooth.
Sim card readers used to be used to clone a sim card. Used to be fairly easy before, but SIM cards are much more secure now, and you'll probably end up getting the original SIM blocked if you attempt to copy it
Aw man, you guys are here... I love to go to this place! why not make a fan meet up? are you guys still here in Taipei? would be a pleasure to show you around and translate.
HugoS Hey Hugo, thanks and it's a shame that year after year it's impossible to get a hold of these guys. Anyways, great to meet another tech enthusiast and also from Taipei 😊
Wow ! Austin I am one of your fans living in Taiwan Couldn’t believe that you did the “how to waste “series in my country😄😄 Though you are back to America, but I still hope that you had a good time in Taiwan!
for the record, that sim reader is meant for bank cards, and the bus cards around here, you can do payments and fill up your bus cards and other applications, usually used by online services that supports the device via web
To think that my dad used to find radar components for the Hawk missiles here for around 2 bucks (over 1k USD if you buy it from the Americans at the time) blows my mind. It is a place with a lot of unexpecting finds.
I have a version of those earbuds, the tws-i7, they are dirt cheap and for that price actually rather good! Was very difficult setting them up to dual pair, as the manual was pure chinese, but after the 1st setup they continue to pair as a pair so no problems since then. Terrible battery life though, about 2 hours then totally dead for about 3 hours before its fully charged
Vincent Ye i have no stance as i am from pakistan i have many friends from taiwan and many want to be an distinct culture and be a uniqe pepole and country.
We are a distinct ethnicity Since we have our own culture and way of speaking Don’t let politicians fool you from the fact that Taiwan is part of China Cuz it’s not
The SIM reader is for internet access where there's no WiFi. You need a software to connect to the internet. It was used a lot in Asian countries before WiFi hotspot and USB tethering came along.
The "Gameboy" case it's actually a clone of the 9999 in 1 Brick Game (probably the most famous bootleg console) witch is a bootleg Tetris clone featuring "9999" games. So you basically have a case version of a portable bootleg console.
Umm, that sim reader is actually a 8 in 1 card reader. We use it to read credit cards, micro sd, etc. It is common for us to change SIM cards therefore the sim reader is useful when we need to transfer contacts between sim (back when there’s no google)
As a Taiwanese I'm glad you guys make such video about Taiwan's stuff. However, actually if you spend 200 on amazon you will get some pretty good stuff while in Taiwan just get some garbage...
This was a lot of fun 😂 Thanks for having me in the video man 👊🏽😎
you were cool man :D
SuperSaf TV you're awesome i have been following you for years you make such a great content. Keep it up 😎❤
Just found out about you man, good stuff on your channel. Got a new sub outta me 👊🏾👍🏾

Its an asian thing.

The sim is to text, call and use internet with it
I thought it was for authentication.
Yeah like the vPro intel cards
Change ur profile pic it scared me
U can't use mobile internet through it. Something likes Huawei E8372 4G WiFi USB does.
SIM cards can be used for secure authentication as well, basically, the smart card readers on some laptops, very commonly used by government agencies and military in the USA are just a credit card with a sim card.
*Walks past anime girl board* "But where's the weird stuff?"

*Is watching Austin waste 258.54 in Taiwan worth it?*
Nelson Hobbs I read your comment and go off the video
Yes
Actually its $258.34 and not $258.54
Nelson Hobbs 258.34
From someones point of view it's China but I won't get into that
I was actually looking to waste $258.35 in Taiwan :/ can't find a How To video for that tho, rip.
My apple crumble is by far the most crumblest $258.34* lmao u failed

I want a Sim card reader, it seems handy to run data off of your mobile plan
Exactly.
That drains your phone pretty fast.
Balázs Eszes battery banks exist. Mine charges my phone 6 times(25600 MAH) best $15 I've ever spent on Amazon.
USB tethering is a thing... right?

Welcome to Taiwan, dude🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼
Austin is one of the most innovative youtubers to make tutorials on how to waste money😂😆😂😆😂
When they say 999 for the AirPods I’m like “holy crap” then I remember that they are in Taiwan
Having been to that mall myself, I was pretty underwhelmed. The items were basic and straightforward, with the prices usually higher than what you can find online. It's NOT China, it's Taiwan...so weird and cheap is hard to come by.
Shouldn’t have plugged that sim reader into your computer lol. Definitely hacked.
You must be hacked before lol

Dapper Dop You have no clue to what you’re talking about.
Shashank Patel 2009 and not widespread internet. What country was that?
Yes Austin you're right, almost 75% of the stores in there are connected to one business.

Hey Austin this is guys from Taiwan. Thrillllled to have you here!
These Chinese and Taiwanese malls seem so weird, this concept of very small stores selling all kinds of weird cheap tech stuff is completely different of anything I've seen around here, I'd feel so confused in there.
André Fontes
Same
I’m a Taiwanese and I feel confused either
I'm pretty used to it, i find it very convenient to have large buildings full of tech shops and vendors.
You can think of it like a mini department store for tech, so you literally find everything tech related here. As for the weird stuff, well I suppose you can still find it on Alibaba or ebay, just not as easily here.
I guess the closest to that is the El Corte Inglés we have here in Portugal, which has floors organized by types of goodies and are completely open, being organized in several small areas for each store, divided only by small walkways. Indeed, I find that super confusing and even quite claustrophobical - quite a bad experience, the last time I went there!
I applaud you for travelling all the way to Taiwan to buy a handful of Dollar General type items.

Hey Austin, that “SIM reader” is actually for reading your bank debit card or ATM card for online ATM transfer or use it for tax

It is always interesting to see how money can be wasted. I was not aware of the sheer infinite possibilities.
umm we dont call them "girlfriend", we call them "waifu" :3
Of course Austin listens to logic. Of course he does.
China is very upset with you......
Vincent Ye he refers to taiwan as a independent country and china no likey.
Vincent Ye i have no stance as i am from pakistan i have many friends from taiwan and many want to be an distinct culture and be a uniqe pepole and country.

Since we have our own culture and way of speaking

Cuz it’s not
What are they gonna do, deduct goodboy points from Austin? LOL
By reading a Sim card it means that it gives a hotspot to your laptop like a phone
I live for these videos...
Taiwan.. the home of bootlegs...
that's actually china
not taiwan
YourBoy Luke Taiwan no longer permits bootlegs (a long time a go actually)
R.I.P bootlegs
Umm…what is bootlegs??
I'm taiwaness, but I've never heard of that, how come??

Taiwan no1
What that sim card reader does, it allows you to use cellular on your computer, and you can’t store things on it as well.
For being in Taiwan, they found no bootleg things
I like this series of videos :-)
The "Gameboy" case it's actually a clone of the 9999 in 1 Brick Game (probably the most famous bootleg console) witch is a bootleg Tetris clone featuring "9999" games.
So you basically have a case version of a portable bootleg console.
I like it when Ken throws stuff on the table...
