WEBVTT

00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:07.600
it's time for handicap

00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:11.759
handy tack handy tech

00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:16.560
under a hundred today we have a motley assortment of doodads to help you get

00:00:13.840 --> 00:00:21.920
more life out of older stuff you may already own so let's tack them out

00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:25.519
oh oh that's terrible speaking of terrible this sponsor segue

00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:31.519
is but Corsair isn't Corsair's ml rgv fans

00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:36.719
feature magnetic levitation bearings and dynamic RGB lighting check out their 120

00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:41.740
and 140 millimeter variants at the links below

00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:52.800
do you remember the original game boy from 1989 introducing game boy it's

00:00:50.480 --> 00:00:57.280
portable it's in stereo and its games are interchangeable

00:00:54.719 --> 00:01:03.199
okay yeah you probably don't because even people born in the year 2000 are

00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:04.159
almost voting age now lordy

00:01:03.199 --> 00:01:09.920
anyway now noobs and veterans alike can have

00:01:07.119 --> 00:01:16.159
the original game boy experience on the hyperkin smartboy a 50 device that

00:01:13.360 --> 00:01:21.280
marries old school game boy controls and cartridge support with your phone's

00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:26.640
superior screen and battery life as long as you have a supported usb

00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:30.799
type-c phone game boy advanced games aren't supported and the software

00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:35.040
experience is a bit less than streamlined since you

00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:39.920
actually need two separate apps to get it working the smart boy companion app

00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:44.159
and a third-party emulator but the buttons feel pretty dang authentic and

00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:50.000
it works on games for both the original brick game boy and the game boy color

00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:54.640
it is a little clutchy but overall i like the way hyperkin has executed this

00:01:52.240 --> 00:01:59.759
the hardware feels durable and using a third-party emulator makes the smart boy

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

00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:10.560
adapter from dyno and i know what you're thinking does

00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:14.480
such a mundane object deserve such a savage logo

00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:19.440
yes yes it does it's super compact compared to competing

00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:24.560
solutions and doesn't require any power or any drivers to be installed just plug

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

00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:33.599
analog baby as for why you might need something like

00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:39.840
this well it's mostly for interoperability between new gadgets

00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:43.280
like your laptop or latest gen graphics

00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:46.239
card all of which lack analog outputs

00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:51.040
and legacy tech like an old projector in a conference room or lecture hall or

00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:57.120
basically anything server related now dyno doesn't do everything you can't

00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:59.599
reverse it to adapt a vga device to an

00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:03.200
HDMI display the conversion's just one way and you'll be stuck without audio

00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:10.000
but there are slightly bulkier solutions that will convert your HDMI sound to a

00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:14.480
three and a half millimeter jack and i mean on that subject if your new device

00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:19.840
doesn't even have HDMI displayport and usb type-c adapters to vga are out there

00:03:17.440 --> 00:03:23.200
as well the main point was to highlight that things like this exist

00:03:21.760 --> 00:03:27.760
another thing that some people care about that the dyno lacks is mounting

00:03:25.519 --> 00:03:32.000
screws to ensure that it doesn't walk itself out and disconnect over time but

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:35.920
i personally think it's more convenient this way since i'm probably going to be

00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:41.920
using it in short bursts rather than as part of a longer term deployment anyway

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

00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:52.000
everything from your phone making your life much easier until no no wait stop

00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:55.120
your bloody family and friends keep touching the light switches ruining your

00:03:53.920 --> 00:04:00.400
setup don't reach for the duct tape just yet

00:03:57.519 --> 00:04:04.799
the magnatac light switch covers are a more elegant way to keep people's greasy

00:04:02.480 --> 00:04:09.120
little digits off your switches these were originally designed to help people

00:04:06.799 --> 00:04:14.480
who observe the sabbath a time at which they are not supposed to do any work

00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:17.759
including switching lights on and off but they're also great for preventing

00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:21.440
people from turning off the outlet beside your bed that you use to charge

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

00:04:24.320 --> 00:04:29.919
that you can use these to child proof your switches think again on that one

00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:33.040
part of the beauty of them is that they attach magnetically to the fairest

00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:38.560
screws holding your light switch plate on so they go on and come off with no

00:04:36.320 --> 00:04:43.199
work at all next up we have 12 acoustic studio foam

00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:48.720
wedges now first things first these are not for

00:04:45.919 --> 00:04:53.040
soundproofing so don't buy them to keep your neighbor's dog from waking you up

00:04:50.320 --> 00:04:56.240
at night mark why bart why you gotta do this

00:04:53.840 --> 00:05:00.880
i mean okay by definition pretty much anything with mass will offer some

00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:05.120
soundproofing but the main purpose of these is to treat a room for recording

00:05:03.440 --> 00:05:10.080
and playback quality by removing reflective sounds and echoes

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

00:05:12.080 --> 00:05:20.320
frequencies and probably won't be enough to absorb lows like a proper bass trap

00:05:16.479 --> 00:05:22.160
would but they're really cheap and

00:05:20.320 --> 00:05:26.160
not just functional they also give your space a professional studio feel and you

00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:30.560
can attach them to the wall without damaging anything by using adhesive

00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:36.320
spray like this or strips like the ones that come with our last item

00:05:32.880 --> 00:05:37.919
command brand cord bundlers

00:05:36.320 --> 00:05:41.840
these things are seriously shockingly useful you just stick the hooks to the

00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:46.160
wall using the included 3m strips and now you've got a versatile hanger for

00:05:43.520 --> 00:05:49.120
cable management storage and drying out your sandals after a trip to

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

00:05:52.400 --> 00:05:58.320
object to maximize your stow and go ability but just because these puppies can hold

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

00:06:02.400 --> 00:06:07.919
properly so uh we just painted a lot of walls

00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:11.360
around here that's why we got these ones and i guess actually that leads us

00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:15.120
perfectly into the disclosure part of these handy tech videos where we tell

00:06:12.880 --> 00:06:19.360
you where all this stuff came from it's pretty easy this time we bought almost

00:06:17.440 --> 00:06:23.360
all of it from amazon except the smart boy which was sent to us by hyperkin

00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:28.800
those guys were probably hoping for a dedicated video

00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:30.479
