LG sponsored us to do a couple videos Linus's empty Warehouse gaming skit with
their short throw projector was pretty cool except he left thousands of dollars
worth of equipment behind when he left
but his second idea to go with their battery powered short throw projector
and have a look at five handy Tech items for a college dorm life had an even
bigger problem lus has never lived in a dorm so here I
go
let's start with item number one the Bose qc35 wireless headphones one of the
first things you'll notice about dorm life is the incredibly thin walls and
your neighbors in every direction are probably enjoying their first taste of
Life out from under their mom and dad's roof eavesdropping on conversations may
be fun the first few days and the rabbit's next door could be interesting
for a bit too I'm not judging but after a couple weeks you're probably just
going to want some quiet time to yourself the noise cancellation on the
qc35s is nothing short of amazing they're very comfortable and with ample
padding for long studying sessions and they'll last the whole time too with
Bose's boasting 20 hours of active
listening on a single charge sorry for that pun this isn't the first in the QC
lineup Bose has been doing this whole quiet comfort thing for a while now and
it isn't likely to come to a surprise to owners of the qc15 or qc25 but the
bottom line is qc35s are expensive but
undeniably awesome moving on to number two the Google Chromecast now I'm
probably preaching to the choir here but if you had to leave the family one at
home now might be a great time to pick up either the updated Gen 2 model or
even the brand new 4k model us
Millennials love to show each other internet memes and random videos this is
just a fact of life and there's no easier way to do this wirelessly than
with a chomecast it's light enough to hang out of your HDMI port on your
display without harming it and with just a micro USB plug required for power it's
both easy to set up and easy to use it
works with Android 4.1 or higher iOS 8.0
or higher macOS 10.9 or higher and
Windows seven or higher so regardless of your Tech budget you're probably covered
now you just need something to plug it into right which brings us to item
number three the LG ph450 ug an ultra
short throw LED projector with an embedded battery but Luke why would you
want a portable projector you're in a dorm room just plug it in okay I hear
that but there's this this concept it's called leaving your dorm room now I
hadn't heard of it till recently in my college Years I only only left my dorm
room for sustenance education or to do my laundry but I do understand that
certain Homo sapiens will venture outwards to gather and consume Libations
and participate in other various social activities in such scenarios one may
gain higher Social rank within the herd by showing up with a portable projector
it's even possible that such a scenario may lead to romance or what I call
popularity plus with a desirable mate all right all jokes aside having a
projector in your dorm would be badass and the portability afforded to you by
the built-in battery could be wildly useful bringing it along to a study
group room that doesn't have a power plug is a much more elegant solution to
sharing notes and collaboration its size
makes moving it around easier than you'd expect and like its bigger brother from
our last video it's Ultra short throw so you can get 40 in of screen size just
2.9 9 in away from the wall and on the
subject of studying your dorm life and just being in post-secondary education
in general will very possibly launch the
biggest boom of incoming communication that you have ever experienced managing
this will be distracting feeling your phone Buzz pulling it out unlocking it
opening the right app typing out some super hot fire memes to impress that
person you like ending up on Facebook for an hour when you were just going to
look at that one damn thing which brings us to item number four the Logitech k780
Multi-Device keyboard can simplify this process it's a Bluetooth keyboard with
low profile keys so the typing experience is somewhat similar to a
laptop but that kind of thing is everywhere its main feature is its
ability to hot swap its connectivity between three devices like a computer a
phone and a tablet it even has a handy rail near the top to store your phone
meaning you could be sitting at your computer working with your your phone
propped up and plugged in with the screen always on hot swap when you get a
message type out your reply and move on
with your work less downtime now no one
does top fours five is the magic number and I was struggling to come up with
another one thankfully as I was throwing this together the night before the due
date I had a hankering that inspired me
Nong shim spicy kimchi flavored Bowl noodle now you might argue this isn't a
piece of tech Fair but it's awesome nonetheless
even one of the top helpful reviews on Amazon titled it great for Hungry
college students if you are what you eat I think at one point in my life I was
probably 25% techie dude and 75% Nong
shim noodles I highly recommend them as long as you don't mind that they
certainly almost contain no nutrients whatsoever and probably about two times
the recommended daily intake of salt depending on how many of them you eat
per day for me it might have been near eight times right now I'm not worried
about that however because I'm about 95% done hosting this video so all that's
left to say here is that hopefully these suggestions will help you enjoy your
dorm experience or just life in general
if you're past that whole dorm phase let me know what you guys think in the
comments down below or at lineus tech on Twitter thanks for watching I'll see you
next time if you're interested in any of these things uh check out Amazon in the
link in the description down below or even one of these shirts but I don't think we have polos for sale so oh well
see you
