1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:07,600
it's time for handicap

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:11,759
handy tack handy tech

3
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:16,560
under a hundred today we have a motley assortment of doodads to help you get

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:21,920
more life out of older stuff you may already own so let's tack them out

5
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:25,519
oh oh that's terrible speaking of terrible this sponsor segue

6
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:31,519
is but Corsair isn't Corsair's ml rgv fans

7
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:36,719
feature magnetic levitation bearings and dynamic RGB lighting check out their 120

8
00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:41,740
and 140 millimeter variants at the links below

9
00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:52,800
do you remember the original game boy from 1989 introducing game boy it's

10
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:57,280
portable it's in stereo and its games are interchangeable

11
00:00:54,719 --> 00:01:03,199
okay yeah you probably don't because even people born in the year 2000 are

12
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,159
almost voting age now lordy

13
00:01:03,199 --> 00:01:09,920
anyway now noobs and veterans alike can have

14
00:01:07,119 --> 00:01:16,159
the original game boy experience on the hyperkin smartboy a 50 device that

15
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:21,280
marries old school game boy controls and cartridge support with your phone's

16
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:26,640
superior screen and battery life as long as you have a supported usb

17
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:30,799
type-c phone game boy advanced games aren't supported and the software

18
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:35,040
experience is a bit less than streamlined since you

19
00:01:33,119 --> 00:01:39,920
actually need two separate apps to get it working the smart boy companion app

20
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:44,159
and a third-party emulator but the buttons feel pretty dang authentic and

21
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:50,000
it works on games for both the original brick game boy and the game boy color

22
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:54,640
it is a little clutchy but overall i like the way hyperkin has executed this

23
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:59,759
the hardware feels durable and using a third-party emulator makes the smart boy

24
00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:06,159
pretty future proof our next item is a real sleeper hit it's an HDMI to vga

25
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:10,560
adapter from dyno and i know what you're thinking does

26
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:14,480
such a mundane object deserve such a savage logo

27
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:19,440
yes yes it does it's super compact compared to competing

28
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:24,560
solutions and doesn't require any power or any drivers to be installed just plug

29
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:29,120
one end into your HDMI port and your vga cable into the other and bam digital to

30
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:33,599
analog baby as for why you might need something like

31
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:39,840
this well it's mostly for interoperability between new gadgets

32
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:43,280
like your laptop or latest gen graphics

33
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:46,239
card all of which lack analog outputs

34
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:51,040
and legacy tech like an old projector in a conference room or lecture hall or

35
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:57,120
basically anything server related now dyno doesn't do everything you can't

36
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,599
reverse it to adapt a vga device to an

37
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:03,200
HDMI display the conversion's just one way and you'll be stuck without audio

38
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:10,000
but there are slightly bulkier solutions that will convert your HDMI sound to a

39
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:14,480
three and a half millimeter jack and i mean on that subject if your new device

40
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:19,840
doesn't even have HDMI displayport and usb type-c adapters to vga are out there

41
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:23,200
as well the main point was to highlight that things like this exist

42
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:27,760
another thing that some people care about that the dyno lacks is mounting

43
00:03:25,519 --> 00:03:32,000
screws to ensure that it doesn't walk itself out and disconnect over time but

44
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:35,920
i personally think it's more convenient this way since i'm probably going to be

45
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:41,920
using it in short bursts rather than as part of a longer term deployment anyway

46
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:45,920
next up well let's say you've connected all your smart lights so you can control

47
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:52,000
everything from your phone making your life much easier until no no wait stop

48
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:55,120
your bloody family and friends keep touching the light switches ruining your

49
00:03:53,920 --> 00:04:00,400
setup don't reach for the duct tape just yet

50
00:03:57,519 --> 00:04:04,799
the magnatac light switch covers are a more elegant way to keep people's greasy

51
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:09,120
little digits off your switches these were originally designed to help people

52
00:04:06,799 --> 00:04:14,480
who observe the sabbath a time at which they are not supposed to do any work

53
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:17,759
including switching lights on and off but they're also great for preventing

54
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:21,440
people from turning off the outlet beside your bed that you use to charge

55
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:26,160
your phone overnight so you don't sleep in and miss work but if you're thinking

56
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:29,919
that you can use these to child proof your switches think again on that one

57
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:33,040
part of the beauty of them is that they attach magnetically to the fairest

58
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:38,560
screws holding your light switch plate on so they go on and come off with no

59
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:43,199
work at all next up we have 12 acoustic studio foam

60
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:48,720
wedges now first things first these are not for

61
00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:53,040
soundproofing so don't buy them to keep your neighbor's dog from waking you up

62
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:56,240
at night mark why bart why you gotta do this

63
00:04:53,840 --> 00:05:00,880
i mean okay by definition pretty much anything with mass will offer some

64
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:05,120
soundproofing but the main purpose of these is to treat a room for recording

65
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:10,080
and playback quality by removing reflective sounds and echoes

66
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:14,240
at a foot square and only a maximum of an inch deep these work best on higher

67
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:20,320
frequencies and probably won't be enough to absorb lows like a proper bass trap

68
00:05:16,479 --> 00:05:22,160
would but they're really cheap and

69
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:26,160
not just functional they also give your space a professional studio feel and you

70
00:05:24,479 --> 00:05:30,560
can attach them to the wall without damaging anything by using adhesive

71
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:36,320
spray like this or strips like the ones that come with our last item

72
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,919
command brand cord bundlers

73
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:41,840
these things are seriously shockingly useful you just stick the hooks to the

74
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:46,160
wall using the included 3m strips and now you've got a versatile hanger for

75
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:49,120
cable management storage and drying out your sandals after a trip to

76
00:05:47,919 --> 00:05:53,919
the beach and who says you have to stick it to the wall you can tack it right onto an

77
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:58,320
object to maximize your stow and go ability but just because these puppies can hold

78
00:05:56,639 --> 00:06:03,919
up to seven and a half pounds doesn't mean they're gonna wreck the paint when you take them off as long as you do it

79
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:07,919
properly so uh we just painted a lot of walls

80
00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:11,360
around here that's why we got these ones and i guess actually that leads us

81
00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:15,120
perfectly into the disclosure part of these handy tech videos where we tell

82
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:19,360
you where all this stuff came from it's pretty easy this time we bought almost

83
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:23,360
all of it from amazon except the smart boy which was sent to us by hyperkin

84
00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:28,800
those guys were probably hoping for a dedicated video

85
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:30,479

86
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:35,280
