00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,040 So this is what I would sound like 321 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,900 if I was yelling at my teammates 322 00:11:34,900 --> 00:11:36,960 or actually talking more normally to my teammates. 323 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,360 You can see I peaked a little bit there. 324 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,020 So we're gonna go ahead and experience that. 325 00:11:42,020 --> 00:11:43,480 There's no tactile feedback. 326 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:44,940 Oh, wow. 327 00:11:44,940 --> 00:11:46,160 And that is, let's see. 328 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,380 That is quite a bit quieter now. 329 00:11:48,380 --> 00:11:52,020 And we are getting up into the yellow range less often. 330 00:11:52,020 --> 00:11:55,160 So in my like broadcast. 331 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,140 Thank you for that. 332 00:11:56,140 --> 00:11:56,980 All right. 333 00:11:56,980 --> 00:11:58,780 So the next two things are kind of better 334 00:11:58,780 --> 00:12:01,860 if you are trying to get a one cord solution for your laptop, 335 00:12:01,860 --> 00:12:03,200 like you're docking your laptop 336 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,320 and making it into a desktop, 337 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,960 you might want one of these. 338 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,340 You know, this is a weird complaint, 339 00:12:09,340 --> 00:12:11,840 but this cord is kind of long. 340 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:12,800 You wouldn't be saying that 341 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:13,700 if you were trying to plug that 342 00:12:13,700 --> 00:12:16,320 into the back of your Corsair One right now. 343 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,040 That's true. 344 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,100 So what it should really be is detachable. 345 00:12:20,100 --> 00:12:21,540 It should be a type C to type C, 346 00:12:21,540 --> 00:12:22,900 and then it should just come with a cable 347 00:12:22,900 --> 00:12:24,220 and you should be able to swap it out. 348 00:12:24,220 --> 00:12:26,040 That's, that would be better. 349 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,320 There, there's our basic placement for it. 350 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:34,320 So this is a USB 3 external hard drive enclosure. 351 00:12:36,450 --> 00:12:38,350 You get to provide your own hard drive. 352 00:12:38,350 --> 00:12:40,010 Comes with a couple little foam inserts, 353 00:12:40,010 --> 00:12:42,990 which are presumably to keep your hard drive safe. 354 00:12:42,990 --> 00:12:45,230 If you have a thin hard drive, I don't know. 355 00:12:45,230 --> 00:12:48,310 The top is metal, but the majority, 356 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,300 that part is pretty plastic. 357 00:12:51,300 --> 00:12:52,300 This is it. 358 00:12:52,300 --> 00:12:53,760 This is what holds your drive, I guess. 359 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,760 You just stick it to the top of the drive. 360 00:12:56,580 --> 00:13:02,460 basic at 20 bucks is probably fine this is a very low quality USB cable that's 361 00:13:02,460 --> 00:13:07,620 included like that is very thin for a USB 3 cable so the side with the 362 00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:13,210 branding and not the like FCC sticker on it goes down if you don't want to put 363 00:13:13,210 --> 00:13:16,950 like strain on the connector or have your drive supported by just this one 364 00:13:16,950 --> 00:13:24,540 point here so I yeah I don't like this one very much and this oh the external 365 00:13:24,540 --> 00:13:29,460 hard drive case yeah this is very mediocre for six bucks it's fine for any 366 00:13:29,460 --> 00:13:32,880 more than that I probably I would probably opt for something else the 367 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:38,200 Amazon basics multi-tip stylus for touchscreen devices that's an 368 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,720 interesting idea so multi-tip stylus instead of just shipping it with 369 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:49,080 multiple tips they just used every possible end of a pen type device to put 370 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,800 a different tip so you got a big fat one you got a medium one and you got a 371 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,520 skinny one yeah which is that's seven 372 00:13:54,520 --> 00:14:03,160 six and five millimeters respect okay so you could go fat skinny fat medium or 373 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:07,620 skinny medium like there's kind of a lot of mush to them I don't think any of 374 00:14:07,620 --> 00:14:11,580 these are really fine or sharp enough to really write with you probably have more 375 00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:17,990 success if you had a nice comfortable Amazon basics footrest actually that 376 00:14:17,990 --> 00:14:22,070 feels not bad it's got grip unlike the IKEA ones that we use here at the office 377 00:14:22,070 --> 00:14:26,310 it's not as high though I don't think I'll give it a shot also one thing I 378 00:14:26,310 --> 00:14:32,310 already don't really like about it is that it's it swivels too easily a lot 379 00:14:32,310 --> 00:14:36,670 better overall feel and this goodness on the floor than the IKEA one but it just 380 00:14:36,670 --> 00:14:41,070 if you just kind of man I don't even know if you just took like some some 381 00:14:41,070 --> 00:14:45,630 silicone crap and just kind of like gummed it up a little bit or something I 382 00:14:45,630 --> 00:14:49,590 think you could I think you could you know for less than a dollar you could 383 00:14:49,590 --> 00:14:55,410 DIY it better ow this is 5,000 sheets of Amazon basics paper 384 00:14:56,310 --> 00:15:14,580 it's fine take your new Amazon basic stapler for a spin really is it like a 385 00:15:14,580 --> 00:15:20,140 say it's a safety mechanism well that sucks because often like if you want to 386 00:15:20,140 --> 00:15:23,080 if you want to staple something to the wall or whatever you open up the 387 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:29,580 stapler and you just oh that's a bummer yeah the shoulder ones are so loud yeah 388 00:15:29,580 --> 00:15:35,380 like this is not this is not great I mean I still managed to score one goal 389 00:15:35,500 --> 00:15:40,260 yeah go Linus but so how do you feel about your it $21 21 but you know what 390 00:15:40,260 --> 00:15:44,680 for 21 bucks I'm pretty okay with it quite frankly so how do you feel overall 391 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,760 about your new basic battle station you know I like the DisplayPort cable one 392 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:53,020 advantage we didn't mention before is that it doesn't require the lock so it's 393 00:15:53,020 --> 00:15:56,080 just a self locking one you don't have to deal with like pressing the thing in 394 00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:02,500 order to unlatch it these cable management sleeves honestly if you're 395 00:16:02,500 --> 00:16:05,480 trying to get something done quick they can improve the 396 00:16:05,500 --> 00:16:13,580 look of behind your desk a fair bit come on I bet it yeah like that helps a lot 397 00:16:13,580 --> 00:16:18,440 and they're neoprene I like the monitor stand believe it or not I think at 40 398 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,300 bucks I'd probably rather have one of the ones that just clip onto the desk 399 00:16:21,300 --> 00:16:25,340 personally but if you don't want that if you just want to convert a vase amount 400 00:16:25,340 --> 00:16:30,700 monitor to this or replace a broken stand honestly I'm okay with that one 401 00:16:30,700 --> 00:16:34,720 the gaming mouse is alright actually it's it's I think it's too heavy to 402 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,120 really like game on it 403 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,940 like I would consider it more like just a mouse but it's fine the grip on the 404 00:16:40,940 --> 00:16:43,940 side is makes it easy to lift off even though it is a little bit on the heavy 405 00:16:43,940 --> 00:16:46,940 side and not not a big fan of the keyboard a big disappointment in the 406 00:16:46,940 --> 00:16:51,580 keyboard at 20 bucks this is fine I actually stopped noticing that scuffing 407 00:16:51,580 --> 00:16:54,980 on my ARM pretty quickly maybe I was just busy filming a video and wasn't 408 00:16:54,980 --> 00:16:59,420 paying attention but it seems like less of a big deal now that I'm your mileage 409 00:16:59,420 --> 00:17:05,480 may vary on that one your mileage may vary that's a good cable that's working this cable 410 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:06,340 seems fine 411 00:17:06,360 --> 00:17:10,200 I don't know there isn't really any conclusion like none of it really like 412 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:17,550 blew me away but none of it was complete and utter garbage actually a couple of 413 00:17:17,550 --> 00:17:20,610 them were pretty bad the Ethernet cable is bad I wouldn't use this hard drive 414 00:17:20,610 --> 00:17:24,390 dock and I wouldn't buy this keyboard there are much better keyboard options 415 00:17:24,390 --> 00:17:30,240 didn't blow me away but you know what does blow me away Squarespace my amazing 416 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:35,000 segways right yeah to Squarespace with Squarespace you can create a
