we've got something for you and we've also got a sponsor volta this first one feels totally sci-fi but then at the same time i'm like i'm kind of surprised that you don't just see it everywhere this is the beam authentic and it's basically a wearable diff this smart button connects to a slightly confusing companion app that lets you create upload and share images that you can then beam ah there you go right to your lapel you can show a single image a gif or create a slideshow and you can attach the button with the included magnets or a good old-fashioned pin battery life it varies so it ranges from 4 to 24 hours depending on your content so mostly white images take much more power and mostly black ones take much less also your brightness settings and whether you're displaying pictures or gifs affect battery life too now sadly the beam typically retails for a preposterous 120 dollars but you can get 25 bucks off by choosing white instead of the presumably more popular black which makes it just barely eligible for this series there's also another brand called pins collective that's ten dollars cheaper but we haven't tried those and the screen to body ratio looks slightly worse next up we've got the volta xl now you may remember the voltage charging cable from a previous handy tech but they came back to sponsor this video because they've got a new cable that's compatible with all usbc power delivery devices for fast charging which is like faster than regular charging or as i call it slow charging the more powerful volta xl can push up to 87 watts so that's enough to charge a macbook pro through its usb type-c magnetic tips that are even stronger than before and like before you simply plug the tip into your device this end of the device and leave it

shipping at an early bird 35 dollar price next also for 35 dollars we've got a trip down nostalgia lane for anyone born between 1975 and the year 2000. just kidding it's dysentery everyone's favorite settler simulator oregon trail is now a convenient handheld game it's the same old trail you remember that is unless your elementary school had uh apple machines in its computer lab in which case the hunting is super different complete with 8-bit sound the ability to save your game and of course measles you thought i was going to say snake bite didn't you well i might have but i didn't want this joke to die of exhaustion the blocky form factor is comfortable for adult-sized hands but i do really wish that they had made the screen bigger especially since they've clearly got the space for it but i don't know i mean hey at least it comes with batteries so i'm recommending that you go out and get yourself one of these at a grueling pace next up how do i turn the volume now there we go you can bring your Windows 10 desktop pc to the 21st century with these nifty Windows hello peripherals i've got two here from different brands the first is a usb fingerprint reader from pqi for 30 bucks there is zero installation for this thing you just plug it into an available usb port head to your Windows sign-in options and add your fingerprint you can add up to 10 fingerprint ids and then each id can have multiple prints stored so it's good for the whole family it's fido certified it's got built-in breadth sensing and it can be used to log into password managers like lastpass and npas sticking it in your tower's front io lets you unlock the machine in a tenth of a second at least if your hands are dry um if your hands are wet then it's probably better to have this one facial

one more thing this beautiful usbc hub from satechi is designed for Thunderbolt 3 equipped imacs and imac pros that aren't broken and it installs effortlessly into the vents on the bottom of the screen lord knows those vents had to do something and it sure isn't cooling me now finally you don't have to use the old reach-around technique every time you want to plug something in though you do still have to use two hands to keep the whole machine from sliding because i guess a you know rubber piece on the bottom of the aluminum stand was too much to ask for the hob offers sd and microsd ports three usb 3.0 ports and one usb type-c port but be aware that the hub is unpowered so we don't recommend charging your phone or especially high draw devices like tablets through it but the usb spec does include a minimum level of power delivery and we were able to plug in three led backlit keyboards simultaneously so you shouldn't have to worry too much about power management compared to older usb 2 hubs also bonus points satechi for doing such a dang good job with the color matching now for the transparency bit of this video we reached out to beam authentic for their smart pin and we bought everything else you see in this video from amazon with our own money except for the volta xl cable since this edition of handy tech was sponsored by volta the new volta xl is super durable and
