we've bought a lot of weird stuff on AliExpress over the years the difference
is this time we're doing it on purpose
the challenge was simple bu the weirdest
thing you can find present it to the
rest of the group along with a justification for what makes yours the
weirdest tech product each of us will vote for two that we think are the
weirdest and the winner gets a trophy there's a trophy involved that's it well
you're the writer right you got the trophy right I totally have a trophy yes
absolutely have a trophy and you wrote a segue right to the sponsor G skill

at the link down
below off to a great start you couldn't afford a Nook so you got a Muk Muk AI or
I I'm not sure it's an h61 motherboard
which came out what 2011 or so okay but
the cool part is this is not from 2011
this is I'm pretty sure from 2023 and the best part is that it has an m.2 NVMe
wait it came with all of that on it no no no no I added all this just so that
this was a little faster for the video what I don't know is does this m.2 NVMe
slot actually support NVMe cuz that came
out like 2013 two years later what's the chipet h61
are you sure about that because I do recall that we have done a video where
we had a motherboard like this that said it was a chipset that it actually wasn't
somebody wrote on this in pencil oh yes yes just like the last time if this is
an h61 then how is it supporting an I3 2150 or 20 or whatever I have in there
uh Russians what yeah yeah no there's like a whole Russian Community around
this kind of thing uh I think mostly they focus on Zeon processors but the
chipset should still work it's a whole thing yeah they remanufacture the boards
there's this great Tik Tok I think of this guy just sitting in a warehouse
somewhere with a giant box of motherboards and then yeah a little jig
where he goes and it just cuts the chipset off
the board and he hws the board behind I love angle grinder Electronics well we
don't know who's going to win but I think we know who's not going to win so why don't we move on to our next
contestant oh no okay I'm going to need a mouse
oh I have one is that your item yeah
oh here's the thing about this it it's got top rotation Papa coin all right and
for that you got you want to use your what is top rotation Papa coin well you
use your your thumb to spin the top rotation Papa coin until it goes K C I
read the manual this is a new species of fingertip gyro okay that legitimately
looks pretty cool it looks pretty cool it's got a rem it's got a removable fuel
tank what fuel tank yeah removable fuel tank look right here that's how you know
it's strong it's got dark wire right on the left button here's the papa coin use
your thumb to go cut cut cut were you a late night TV pitch Man In Another Life
your pitch is so frantic that it sounds like they have your family like you you
need to sell this mouse well it's me and Vince offer left uh they used to call me
Billy Mae but really the biggest selling
feature of this is right here who has the biggest
hands okay just hold your hand like that lift up your
fingers it's a fidget oh my God okay
that's pretty
sick wow all right video done we truly
are Tanner wins wa nice catch you drop enough
things you get good catches who you broke it no I broke nothing I think it's
supposed to do this is that the removable fuel tank it could be wait so
where is the dongle for it then oh it's in there is it remove fuu tank
hey wow this is premium quality they
just put screws into the plastic and that's what the magnets mag I've got no
problem with that it's not stupid if it works you're going to talk about that you're not going to go after this paint
job this is worse than pl's car Colin
could you go get an air compressor air compressor don't
ask I think we have to see it in action okay I think so uh okay do we have to
run it on pl's computer or can we run it on a real we have a test bench there all right we
have a test bench there what what about pl's computer what's wrong with that what is that whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
whoa whoa hey American Meat Trends oh I believe it
what okay this is incredible we put Windows on both this NVMe drive and then
a backup SATA SSD just in case oh it
didn't actually support it as a boot Drive oh no never underestimate Russian
hackers mine clearly works so that's you
know that's all I'm saying
yeah there we go can we get a tachometer
oh it's going blue screen no my computer no that's not a
blue screen that's recovery that it's
going Alex kind of has two my first
one's banned Adam is unfortunately sick today uh so Alex is going to choose his
item but he did buy something ages ago
yes band like in the country we're in or just like no as we're not allowed to
make the video so what I have right here is an RGB kit for a Mark 7 G oh my
God this is not a computer item Alex
it's RGB that's the most computer item of them all so basically you just used
our budget to buy something for your car
no I put this in as a joke and then you
approved it and procurement got it I never wanted it in the first place the
system works I don't see any RGB in there there's no RGB on this Alex you
got scammed oh here's the RGB oh oh there we go oh my God so this right here
has to be put in there I guess I looked
at the instructions and includes a lot of dremeling like fiber optic why is
this so dirty wait so does the car like natively have RGB yeah well right now it
natively has R there's just red lights
what's that say dead project RGB for VW
Golf could be used for worst AliExpress
products exactly okay why don't you go get your real item then so this is what
I have from Adam he said the one I got is much bigger than the other ones I
have seen I have no idea about safety so be careful I
guess oh my God I know what that is oh
my God is a musical Tesla coil I don't
know if that's computer parts it hooks into a computer
a speaker's a computer part is that fiber optic yes this is fiber optic what
cuz you want to isolate you know your control Electronics from your high voltage
Electronics right but not your body no
you can touch it can you like lick it I
wouldn't but like you can would you do it for 20 bucks what's the needle for
what's the needle for well right now nothing's happening you need the
needle okay I'll turn it off for a sec ow
so you need the needle okay yeah so that
it can do that that's very that's great yeah that's not annoy at all I can smell
it yeah you can smell it for the audio
I'll just turn it off for a second basically how this works is that
normally it's operating at somewhere around 100 khz which is way higher than
what you can hear so what we're doing is we are turning it off when we want there
not to be sound and then back on when you want sound so say that you want
1,000 you just turn it on and off a thousand
times in a second and you get a tone so we can turn it back on wow that's great
wow what a useful thing that I wish I had in my home how does this integrate
with a computer Alex yeah well it's a speaker so we can turn it over to music
mode oh my
god
oh incredible it's sparking out the tip oh jeez you
are not oh oh that's not so bad oh yeah
hold on it arcs to his fingers yeah does that hurt it's
tingly the higher tones that's hilarious
oh the very first musical LTT screwdriver
hey that's pretty good oh that's so cool
okay that more than tingles scary also I was touching the power supply on the
other side I think it stopped working when you
touched that oh oh my God he killed it no way it just muted oh it's like going
up but not going up it's just constantly
muting I expected this to be wonderful I
expected this to be able to solve all of our problems really I don't think it's
going to do that no uh the app first of all is not on the App Store they give
you an APK you can just download and S side load on your Android phone super we
tried to do it on a pixel and it didn't work because it's too new so this is
plold phone it's great why are the options doubt and don't understand what
is this fwn so to doubt um this is
supposed to be a diagnostic tool for computers we do have some adapters for
like m.2 uhhuh so in theory I'm hoping we could test an m.2 slot if we're going
to plug this into anything it's going to be plof oh yeah the slot so we can test
no might as well use this one that says PCIe it's specifically said in the app
or the manual or somewhere don't plug in the PCI one into the PCIe that might
break it anything will fit if you try hard enough it's plugged in it's powered
blinking do I press doubt doubt just brings up follow the
onscreen instructions idiot it's apparently Bluetooth so let's find that
it's connected now all right everything's done but what does it do
it's successed why do you ask so many bloody questions turn turn the computer
on okay and in theory this is now going
to read the diagnostic code
okay oh oh it's oh it's actually working
who whoa we're getting post codes out of a board that doesn't have post codes but
we got the current code is 1D PCI RS
good h s o n0 good hsop P0 good I love
having good uh help H so oh wait a
second it says if the computer Compu fails please eliminate the memory
failure first this is just basic diagnostic steps it doesn't tell me 1 is
okay it's saying that 1D already shown below the code it's telling us that's
what 1D is so in theory this is maybe
not compatible with this wonderfully standard chipset why don't we try that
other computer PCI bus proper connection oh look you click on these and it shows
you a photo of how to connect it oh it can test USB oh no way USB test passed
CPU motherboard memory and USB controller all work h
okay so maybe useful at some point
maybe okay uh ploof sidebar what we're
not supposed to have sidebars here's the situation it's AliExpress I wasn't sure
how many if any of these items were going to arrive so I order like four
things yeah do you think these Pokemon cards
are authentic I think that they don't hook up to a computer one of my items is
this and what I would like to know is do you think these are authentic Pokemon
cards oh I don't know let's find out okay here let's each take let's each
take a pack I love cracking packs okay first thing I'm noticing is they are in
French a
a FR glass I don't know do Pokemon cards
Canadian I don't know if these are real dude they don't feel thick enough you
might have gotten scammed all right so you got fake Pokémon cards no no they
are proxies if you rip a cards in half there
should be a black line in the middle a black line oh yeah yeah magic does the
same thing okay yeah no no they are very fake do you even remember what you
ordered no I'm kind of leaning toward
this one but this is tempting too I'm going to do the range I don't think the
range extender is going to take that long it's also not a range extender what
I kind of have two one of which I think
is really weird and one of which I think might legitimately be useful this is
just a a mining Riser this is not not a
mining Riser this my friend is a
PCIe to PCI adapter we could have used this
during the last video yeah we need to test it well this is the 2001 Maximum PC
dream machine complete with 100 megabit fast
networking Ethernet card and Hercules XP
sound card with 3D acceleration did not receive the diagnostic code all right
let's see if an actual card works though
I have seen these so many times and I've been tempted so many times but I've
never had any reason to actually buy one because I don't have any PCI cards that
I legitimately need to use so here we go
theoretically you can just Mount this daughter board anywhere in the chassis
plug in your old school PCI
cards right definitely have drivers for a little something like that yeah I mean
I don't know man I got no idea right whoa whoa whoa wait for whoa whoa whoa
Multimedia Audio control are you kidding me
realistically this was just for fun cuz I wanted an excuse to buy it my real one
is right here wow this is the one I'm most excited
about jeez it came detached it is a USB
Wi-Fi card with a built-in
cantana what so the idea here is that if
you have like a shed or a workshop or a
distant location on your property that you need to get Wi-Fi to you can aim
your antenna directly at your Wi-Fi
router for an improvement in Signal Integrity what Wi-Fi standard does this
I am not sure rtld drivers. like oh my
God I don't even and definitely no viruses
xp64 yeah setting up device setting up device RT something Wireless oh
yes it's alive it take the pull the cable out it
only says it's 802.11g I just want to know is this
antenna actually even connected inside of
here oh it is oh my God it is oh wow
okay look at that solder drop that's mint oh wow it looks like they just took
a pair of side Cutters to the corner of this PCB did they just put a GL Bob of
solder to hold this in place on a screw
you got to do what you got to do what the heck that is exactly what they did
you see this that's really bad if we
plugged a working Wi-Fi device into this there is no reason why this wouldn't
work unfortunately um we were not able
to find modern working drivers for this particular Wi-Fi
chipset I'm going to go first uh pretty
tough really real good competition here
but Tesla coil 100% is getting a vote
and then number two I think has to be the fidget spinner Mouse as somebody with a Double Diamond AliExpress account
the only two the only thing that has not been advertised to me is the Tesla
coil however pl's motherboard is also very
interesting because when we did a video on this concept it was about a tbow PC
which is technically not the same thing as AliExpress I'll take it I'm going to
have to vote for the Tesla coil and the mouse damn I'm getting shafted you know
what okay Tesla coil and Jake diagn vote
I have to vote for the solder joint in that dish yes I get one vote and the
mouse of course I didn't get a single vote you did I gave you one no I don't
that doesn't count this isn't even yours though no Adam wins by proxy so far so
far I'm going Mouse and mouse and Wi-Fi
yes two votes for no I don't want your pity vote maybe as actually is it a tie
between the Tesla coil and the mouse yeah well what do we do then we only
have one trophy okay we have a deciding vote
Andy rock paper scissors Tesla coil or the mouse I'm going to give you give the
Tesla Adam is the winner I sort of won by proxy his trophy
is this model of a Tesla coil I want the
pair what I want the parrot you didn't win
you didn't even pick it wait that parrot he wants the parrot he wants the set
dressing you can't have that well what w
yeah that's a company parrot you have to give it to Adam fine what is that
supposed to be a parrot a look at the top what the hell's in theak no idiot
the top I got a Le
okay that I don't know it looks like it holds something yeah you know what else
it holds it holds the segue to our
