1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,440
Did you know that on Facebook and Twitter about a quarter of the posts you see are ads?

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,600
I'm serious, go ahead and check for yourself, I'll wait.

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:13,200
Now that you're back, did you buy or even click on any of that stuff you saw?

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,640
No? Well, don't worry, that's okay, because we did it for you.

5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:22,000
For an entire month, our team forwarded every ad they saw to the procurement department,

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,520
who furiously sourced everything from whatever this is to keyboard cleaners to

7
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:34,800
this build-it-yourself conference room. Now all I need to do is unbox them and see if there's any

8
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:39,280
golden nuggets in the nasal cavity that is modern social media advertising.

9
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:44,800
Now, there were some limits. We didn't buy any software or anime video games.

10
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,120
They had to be a physical item. We also wanted things that were tech-related and they had to

11
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:55,840
be available in Canada, which is why we're starting off with this. Do you want to guess the price?

12
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:03,680
I'm going to say $4,000. It was $10,000. $10,000? Yes. I mean, it feels pretty nice, but is that Canadian dollars or US?

13
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:08,400
That's real dollars, freedom dollars. At that price, it better keep you guys from hearing this.

14
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,840
Whoa, did lights just turn on in here? Yeah, the sensors are behind here,

15
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,480
so as we're moving everything out. Oh, dude, it's got fans. Yeah, it's got ventilation.

16
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,720
Okay, if I'd known about all the features, I might have guessed the price a little bit closer.

17
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:38,880
That's pretty cool. There's also some outlets back here that you're missing. Oh, not going to lie. A lot of this looks like Aliexpress garbage.

18
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,280
Correct. But the bed jet, man, when I was a kid, this would have saved me so much trouble.

19
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:48,320
I wouldn't have had to wet it myself. Oh my God. Now that it's time to, oh.

20
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:55,920
Oh, okay. Yeah, just the fan. That's probably that second light that logistics didn't plug in.

21
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,080
Oh, that makes sense. It actually took him about a day to build this. They didn't say it was tough,

22
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:06,000
but it was just a long process. It's fine. Yeah. Actually, Alex said that he thinks it's worth it,

23
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,440
because over the last two weeks that it's been installed, we've had several people actually

24
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:14,880
just have their meetings in here and enjoy it. Okay. So here's the ad that sold us on it.

25
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,680
Oh, I get to watch the ads. There you go. Nice. And the emergency stairwell,

26
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:25,120
just to get some privacy. That was literally an April Fool's joke for us. There's no way anyone's

27
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:30,560
action. I mean, our inbox boots, private work pods are the perfect solution to office noise and

28
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:38,320
distractions. He doesn't look sold. No, I like it. That is a little pricier than some solutions

29
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:43,520
we've looked into. We actually need some of these, but I can't fault the build quality,

30
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:48,640
the features, or the overall vibe. Is this for two people or four? It feels like it'd be an

31
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:53,200
extremely cozy four. It'd be a cozy four, but it for sure confirms two people. This is actually

32
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:59,920
their Tuesday booth. I get it. So what would they call the four one? Four's day. Oh, I was going to

33
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:05,440
go with four skin. We should remove this and that. Sorry. You know what else we should remove? Four

34
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,480
skin. The sound? Anybody else hearing this conversation?

35
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,720
We can hear each other just fine. Other than it being a little echoey, thanks to this big

36
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:28,160
glass panel here, it definitely gets stuffy fast. If you don't have the fan on. Speaking of stuffy,

37
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,800
do you want to try the next item on our tech list? I do. All right. Guess how much we spent on this?

38
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:38,800
I would have to know what it is. It is a CO2 health monitor. You know, like canaries in the

39
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,800
mine. So this dies if the air sucks? Well, yeah, you mentioned it was getting stuffy,

40
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,600
so I thought we could put it on the wall and see if we kill a bird. I'm going to say 100 bucks.

41
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:53,280
It was like 230. Shut up. I was already assuming that it was going to be overpriced.

42
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:59,360
Yeah, it was really expensive. How much did we spend on all this stuff? Just over $14,000.

43
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,080
More importantly, the booth was actually sent to us. Are we going to buy some?

44
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,120
Well, if you use our affiliate code down below, they'll knock the price off for us so we can keep

45
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:17,440
it. Please buy some. Who put you up to that? I'm not even kidding. That's the contract we signed.

46
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:24,640
Thanks, Josh. Keep calm. Open your Windows. Oh, it, it like turns it. Oh yeah, it outright dies.

47
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,960
I mean, okay. Well, if we want to find out how bad it is, I guess we got to turn the fan off,

48
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:35,360
right? Yeah. Close this door. It's just a CO2 detector. Yes. Improve focus and productivity.

49
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,200
Improve sleep and mental health. Yeah, this happy little bird would improve my mental health, I

50
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:47,440
think. Okay, I'm going to pass out too. Yeah, the ventilation is, uh, it's not great in here,

51
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:52,000
but I feel like it would take a lot to knock this boy out. Okay, let's watch the thing.

52
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,760
A word winning Danish design telling you when to open your Windows.

53
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:05,840
It's so sad. Air out? Et voila. Good air quality. I honestly don't think we're going to trigger it

54
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:14,560
either. I can't keep going. There's no oxygen. This bird ain't dying, bro. I don't know, man.

55
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,640
I'm sure it's a good product or something, but it didn't, I, uh, okay, sure. Cool. See you later.

56
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:24,320
What's next? Oh, it's so expensive. Oh, what is this? A talking station.

57
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:36,240
Oh, it's so cute. Micro SD, SD power. Okay, you got some USB-A, USB-C, all the USB-A,

58
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:42,960
and Ethernet at the back and wow. Triple monitor support. Okay, okay, but hold on, hold on, hold

59
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:50,560
on. That is a chonker of a power brick. Uh, it makes sense if you've got 60 watts of USB PD,

60
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:55,920
plus being able to power everything else that's connected to it. And I love that they've matched

61
00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,880
the aesthetic. How cool is that? We're actually going to build a full desk setup in here for you.

62
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:10,400
That's what it's meant for, right? So starting with the docking station, then we'll add some monitors later on. Oh, sick. Oh, it has a little cute calendar and clock. I love this thing. This

63
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,280
is great. It had a just on Instagram that led us to Temu. I think they also have like an official

64
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:19,120
website you can go to, but this is where we purchased it from. I can't promise it isn't

65
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:24,880
stealing your data, but I can promise you it's adorable. If you had to guess the price on this,

66
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:33,120
what would you put it at? I don't know, 70 bucks. It's 220 Canadian, so it's about 150-ish US.

67
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:39,760
It is a docking station. Docking stations get expensive. Yeah, it just feels like a novelty one.

68
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:46,400
You can change the colors. You have black, blue, and red. Whoa. Okay, that's pretty cool.

69
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:52,560
It's swiped to the side. They even totally just use the Apple logo. Oh, no way. Which I don't

70
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:57,760
know if they can get away with, technically. Well, three by four K displays, though. That's actually

71
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,400
going to come handy because we bought some screens. Okay, let's keep going with the setup then. Yeah,

72
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:07,840
JSAO. What was the name of this company? Sure, JSAO. They made the docking station that was used

73
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:11,920
in Sam's upgrade, and we actually like complemented the quality and fit and finish of it. Yeah. Well,

74
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:17,680
apparently they make these FlipGo Duo monitors, and they sent us both of these when we asked for one,

75
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:23,760
so we get to pick now. Which one do you want? I want this one. Cool. Oh, wow. That is like a whole

76
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:31,120
laptop worth a monitor right there. Good Lord, built-in USB hub, though. That's pretty handy.

77
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:38,640
Micro HDMI in. DisplayPort in, though. That's cool. Button for changing the orientation.

78
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:45,520
So just, is there a battery? Like, does it just power on? It powers on by one of the USB-C cables.

79
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:51,200
Oh, but there's no battery. No. Do they have any ideas for how you're supposed to mount this?

80
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:58,000
I'm so glad you asked. They also sell stands for them. Oh, okay, but it doesn't come with any way

81
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,880
of actually mounting this to anything? No. You have to buy the stand. Well, wait, what about this

82
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:08,480
thing? Positioning of the magnetic suction bracket. Yeah, that's what's in here. What,

83
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:15,120
seriously? Are you not messing with me right now? Like, this doesn't hold it in any meaningful way?

84
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:20,480
Not that I could figure it out. It has to. Let me pull up the website. There's no way it just

85
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,960
sits like that. You know, sometimes not everything needs a solution. You ever think about that?

86
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:33,680
No. Oh, my God. That magnet is what holds it. Yeah, it's pretty strong. Okay. Once you get it

87
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:37,520
lined up, it's actually pretty good. Oh, yeah, it goes on there pretty okay. I mean, it's a little

88
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:44,240
scary. Yeah, trusting your life on that is... Okay. Well, your monitor's life anyway. If you had to

89
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:50,800
guess the price. I keep getting everything wrong. $400. $600 US dollars. Dang it. I hope this stand

90
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:59,600
isn't more than like 30 bucks. It's 40. Well, that's within range. Okay. Boom. Just like that. Hold

91
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,320
on. I'm switching the orientation. Overall, this would be a huge productivity booster and it would

92
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:08,640
be pretty much like carrying around two laptops with the way that it folds down the stand. Leave

93
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,880
us a lot to be desired though. Okay, what's next? There's one more thing in here for your setup.

94
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:18,320
Oh. Because you don't want to be typing on your keyboard and mouse. Oh, you threw it right at my

95
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:23,760
junk. It's good quality. I bought them from an ad. Okay, we've got the block triple mode

96
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:28,240
connection mechanical keyboard back to classics. Yes, by the company low for you. And I've also

97
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:35,600
got this triple mode wireless touch mouse. What's a touch mouse? You'll see. Oh, yeah, that's it.

98
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:42,240
That's kind of stupid. They make some extremely bold claims for this bad boy.

99
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:48,160
Replacable PBT keycaps. Sure. If you can find that key profile again,

100
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:54,160
also improve comfort and productivity. I strongly doubt that.

101
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:06,560
X. X to doubt. This is cool though. Magnetic dongle holder. Oh, is that what?

102
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,520
That is so cool. Oh, I was trying to figure what it was on the keyboard.

103
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:17,520
Dude, sick. I like the style of the keyboard. You know what? Sure, they might probably spend too

104
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:23,680
much of their product development budget on Facebook ads, but they also spent a lot on design.

105
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:30,640
Yeah, it looks pretty good, right? She actually thoughts not bad. But the question is,

106
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:36,800
uh, how much did she fuck me? Do you want to guess? Sure, I'll guess. Keyboards I shoot. Oh,

107
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:47,520
80 bucks. 170. No mouse. I don't know. It's pretty stylish. 70 bang on now for something

108
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:54,320
that's not part of our work setup. This retro pixel pro tiny computer, it's powered by an

109
00:10:54,320 --> 00:11:01,440
RK3326 quad core ARM CPU and it features and it's gone. Emily Seddon from our editing team sent

110
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:06,800
this ad over to procurement. Procurement clicked on the link and the site was no longer working.

111
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:12,240
And this right here is the biggest reason that this video took so long to take because we would go

112
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:17,680
to purchase items from obvious drop shippers or scammers and they had already pulled the rug.

113
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:22,960
So guys, please take an extra 30 seconds to look over items before handing over your payment

114
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,680
information since you never know what people are on the other end of these companies. I actually

115
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:32,560
almost gave my credit card to someone who had, um, they were like cheaper versions of those

116
00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:37,360
electronic water blasters. Oh, yeah. They were listed for like $27 and I was like,

117
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:43,120
I've never heard of this site before and I googled, are they a ripoff? And it was like pages and pages

118
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:48,960
and pages of negative reviews. So 30 seconds. Watch out. Okay. What did we actually get next then?

119
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:53,840
Another Temu special, a 20 in one cleaner without looking at the box. Can you find all 20?

120
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:04,640
There's one. Ah, it just comes apart. I don't know if a sim removal tool accounts as a cleaning

121
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:10,240
device and the same goes for a key switch puller and a key cap puller. You missed one on in there.

122
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:15,920
I missed something. Yeah. The lid itself. But this? Yeah. Wipe your screen with it. You know,

123
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:19,760
I'm not a screen, but thank you. I would not wipe a screen with this. Well,

124
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:26,240
you're at five. Keep going. Oh, oh, a little spritz bottle. Yeah, that's pretty cool.

125
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,480
Little air puffer. Yeah. It, it moves air.

126
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:38,480
Tampon. Air pod case cleaner. Right. That makes sense. Little brush. Okay. I'm bored. Yeah,

127
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,480
there's a lot of them. Yeah. That's, that's the gist of it. How much do you think it was?

128
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,920
This gotta be 10 bucks. That's five bucks. Yeah. It's fitting that your mic battery just died.

129
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,200
We bought a battery tester. Hey, they don't work for rechargeables.

130
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,480
They don't? No. Oh, rechargeables run in a different voltage range than alkalines.

131
00:12:55,280 --> 00:13:00,480
Oh, well, do you want to test it to make sure? Sure. I mean, it works. It works. It's, it,

132
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:07,840
it was $4.20. Hey, it's a good battery. It's a good battery. I hope so. I just grabbed it from

133
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,760
the shelf. These things are a dime it does. And though, and I've seen much better form factors

134
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:16,800
than this stupid system. So if you paid more than like six bucks for it, then you got ripped off.

135
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:21,280
I'm glad we didn't get ripped off. This one, I think we did though. Take a look at this one.

136
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:29,360
Smart light sound machine. Look at the size of it in his hand. Well, it's, this is a completely

137
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:37,280
different thing. Yep. The thing, that's a completely different product. Correct. That one has a

138
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,920
speaker in the front. This one, the speakers down here, they, the play button is backwards.

139
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:46,800
What the heck? It's also like four times bigger in the video. He's holding it. Wireless phone

140
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,840
charging though. I'm sure that won't light on fire. It didn't when I tried it.

141
00:13:53,680 --> 00:14:02,080
Oh, wow. That quality speaker though. Would you like to listen to some music? I would like that very

142
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:09,920
much. Oh, that's my phone speakers. Yes. Good luck. It took me a while.

143
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:20,720
I think we get the point. It sounds like garbage. Yeah, but we don't know. Maybe it's got a hidden

144
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:29,040
speaker. Okay, we can move forward. Feel how light it is. Like our second last. Not this again.

145
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,640
This is no longer available on Temu. Is it gone because of how dangerous it is? There's literally

146
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:42,880
a warning right on it that's like laser class one. And then it just beams it into this refractive dome

147
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:48,080
and sends it frigging everywhere. How are you supposed to not have a child or a pet or an adult

148
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:53,600
look into this thing? It has speakers though. And it came with the remote. What does the microphone

149
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:58,960
button do? I don't know. This remote feels like there's nothing inside it. It is lighter than the

150
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:05,120
battery tester. You ready? We want it to stop. I was gonna check to make sure it's turned on.

151
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:18,480
Wow. Wow. That was the G button. Here's R. Here's B. Here's W. That's white. Yeah, close. Hello.

152
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:25,200
Check, check, check, check. Hello. Switches between red and okay. That's the microphone. It's music

153
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:30,400
mode. Blue tooth is off. I hope I'm not connecting to someone's headphones. Blue tooth is connected.

154
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,240
Oh, that was it. That's me. I'm not going to give it access to my calls and logs.

155
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:44,720
This sounds so bad. No, like, imagine. You put that in your, you know, six-year-old kid's room.

156
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:51,600
They're vibing. Okay, imagine this for a second though. Can I borrow that for a second, Andy?

157
00:15:55,200 --> 00:16:00,400
Literally, world's better. If I'm going to need the phone and I'm going to need to be in Bluetooth

158
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:07,520
range, I might as well just play it off the phone. It's not the same vibe though. The thing I connected

159
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:13,600
to is this. What? Oh, you got it working. I connected to the wrong one. This even has Bluetooth?

160
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:20,000
Apparently. It's even worse. The price?

161
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:28,080
10 bucks. You'll be happy. It's only eight. Okay. Our last Temu item. Industrial endoscope.

162
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:37,440
Yeah. Does it scope your end? It can actually. Oh, wow. Yep. That's a lie. Just knows. You can flip

163
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:42,320
it upside down. So that's pretty useful. Black and white versus not black and white,

164
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:47,200
depending on what you're trying to make out. That could actually be pretty useful. No recording,

165
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:53,120
unfortunately. That's a bummer. Yeah. USB-C charging. You know what? Pretty cool. If this

166
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:59,200
was less than, let's say, 50 bucks, I'd say it could be useful at least. This one at this length

167
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:06,160
was $54 US. Yeah. You know what? I like it. Thanks, Temu. That endoscope kicks off the

168
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:12,080
camera gear category. We've got an advertisement for the opal tadpole. A tiny webcam with a clip.

169
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:18,160
Wait, these are the guys that Marquez invested in. Correct. Okay. What's the pitch? It's the

170
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:24,240
world's smallest webcam of this class. Okay. Sony sensor. Yes, correct. The cable doesn't

171
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,840
open the whole way because I don't know, f**k you, I guess. Yeah, I was confused by that. I don't

172
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:32,560
really get it either. Oh, and I guess we get to try it now. Yeah, let's test it. It's better than

173
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:37,520
what we had. It's better than my laptop, for sure. You want to guess the price? Oh, God, it's

174
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,840
probably like $150 or something. Bang on. Really? Yeah. And you can get a carrying case, which will

175
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:46,560
bring it to $168. Yeah, I wouldn't spend that kind of money on this. This next item, I think, is a scam.

176
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,040
Is this supposed to change your phone to like a wide-angle lens or something? Oh, yeah, yeah.

177
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:55,440
It's for a camera. We bought the Sony E-mount variant. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,

178
00:17:55,440 --> 00:18:01,120
wait, wait. So this just goes like straight onto your camera. This is a lens? Correct. This is just

179
00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:06,960
like crazy glued together. Correct. This is garbage. Correct. It was $50.

180
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:15,840
Who would be stupid enough to buy this? Do you want to try it? Yeah, I do, actually. Could they have

181
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:21,200
at least invested in a decent 3D printer? Okay, here, we'll go with our LTT desk pad Northern

182
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:28,080
Lights design. Very nice. Beautiful. Oh my God, this feels so wrong. What the hell?

183
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:37,200
I gotta say, this like works better than I thought it would. That's not really a sales pitch.

184
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:41,040
No, no, no, no, no. Yeah, no. Manufactured e-waste for sure.

185
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:48,240
Apparently, we're shooting the next one on that lens now. So way to go. Look at what you've done,

186
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:53,440
Elijah. Perfect. This is what we were shooting on. Ah, that's garbage. That's cost money.

187
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:58,080
Oh, this looks better. It's shut up. It's actually a good thing you mentioned that it's better,

188
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:03,920
because this device promises to help you take your photos better. The intelligent camera assistant,

189
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:09,680
camera body, meat camera brain. Dude, was this a Kickstarter way back in the day? Correct.

190
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:14,320
I think I remember this thing. It's compatible with a certain list of cameras. You basically

191
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:18,880
clip it onto the top, you know, calibrate your environment, and then help adjust your settings

192
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:27,680
on your camera to help you take a better photo. Okay. So it's auto mode. Correct. Have we had our

193
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:34,720
camera guys look at this at all and like discuss it? Because surely it wouldn't still exist after

194
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:39,840
all this time if it was completely useless. I think their main target is going to be amateur

195
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:44,160
photographers, right? They're not going to be targeting someone who knows their camera inside

196
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:48,480
and out. So I think that's probably why they still exist. They're also one of the products that

197
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:55,920
is always on sale. You know, it's marked at 430, and it's 130 off. So we paid $300 for it.

198
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,760
Shut up. Yeah, we got three of them. Why? Well, because I thought if they work, you know, we...

199
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:05,520
We didn't. There's another one. The other one's at the studio. Why did you buy more? Well,

200
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,600
because if they work... But what if they don't? Okay, stop. What are you not telling me?

201
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:16,880
They sent it to us. I just wanted to scare you. Okay, well, how do we try it? This camera's one

202
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,680
of the compatible ones. Okay. So let's plug it in and give it a go. Okay.

203
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:27,440
So hitting the take photo button, what it'll do is you should notice some settings adjust

204
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:33,760
after I hit the button. Yeah, hit it. Whoa, geez, it even hit the shutter. Yeah, it takes the photo

205
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:40,480
fully for you. Wow, that's pretty cool. Okay, I took a picture. Now I'm going to try. Now you're

206
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:48,080
going to optimize it. I definitely saw some settings change. I mean, it didn't change that much.

207
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,560
It went with a faster shutter speed. It did open up the aperture a bit more,

208
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:57,440
so you get more of like a pleasing depth of field effect. But the question for me is,

209
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:02,080
is that what I wanted? Because I might have wanted more of the object in focus. So that's

210
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,120
debatable. The theme of the shoot is dumpster photography.

211
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,880
I think it definitely helped. Yeah, the only difference is full auto went with a slightly

212
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:18,560
slower shutter speed. But the way we're using it assumes a particularly unsophisticated user.

213
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:24,000
Like I don't know if it's adjusting more than just shutter speed aperture and ISO,

214
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:29,440
which like I can do and I'm not exactly a photography expert. Yeah, Andy described it as

215
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:34,960
spend the $300 on a book and learn how to take a better photo. You know what though,

216
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,640
if most of what you're after was just the remote functionality and the app,

217
00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:44,560
save for wildlife photography, I could actually see it being pretty useful. But as a, you know,

218
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:49,440
training wheels for camera operation, I don't know guys. Picture this, your children won't get

219
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,600
off their phone. What do you do? Tell them to get off their phone. What if what if they don't?

220
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:59,840
Then I use family link and I lock their phone. Well, this product can do that too. It is a box

221
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:06,160
that you can plug in and then charge up to four devices. Okay. Why are they all lightning?

222
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:10,960
You can switch them out. Okay. Yeah. Okay. All right. But then what happens is you close this.

223
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:16,160
Yeah. Using their app, you can magnetically lock it with a timer so that, hey, you know,

224
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:21,600
in two hours, you can go get your product. Huh? How much? You thought I was going to hate on this,

225
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:28,000
didn't you? Yeah, but how much do you think it costs? Oh, oh, oh. If it was a hundred bucks,

226
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,760
I'd be like, you got to pay app developers somehow. It's a niche product. They probably

227
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,200
don't sell that many, but this is pretty trendy looking product literature.

228
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:42,400
Crap. It's like $300, isn't it? It is 250 us for the box. Do you want to know the best part?

229
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:48,640
You can't even use it without paying for their subscription. No. You can charge your devices.

230
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:53,920
It will not do any of the timer or locking without a hundred and eighty dollar a year

231
00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:01,600
subscription Linus. Does the membership cover my entire family? I should sure as hell hope so.

232
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:08,240
We'll charge five phones at once. I think there is more like, I only see four slots. Oh yeah.

233
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:13,760
How will it charge five phones? That's just an outright lie. Great concept. The price is way off.

234
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:20,000
Yeah. $100 one time fee. Sure. If you're this desperate, I'll take $100 a year from you to

235
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,400
hold onto your phone and give it back to you when you want it. Okay. So hold onto this phone. Okay.

236
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,480
No, no, you don't need the box. No, I still want to use the box. You paid for the box. I'm just

237
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,800
the subscription. All right. Here. Thank you. Okay. Now give me my phone. No, you have to wait

238
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:37,040
two hours. Nope. Give me the phone now. No, I need the admin. You don't have the credit card.

239
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,560
I need the admin. You don't have the credit card. What's the password? I don't remember.

240
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,600
Sucks to be you. I have a product that doesn't require a subscription.

241
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:53,280
The photo stick 2.0. One click photo backup. You plug it in and run an EXE.

242
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:01,360
Can we go ask Luke if we can test this really quick? Sure. Okay. You know what the name like

243
00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:05,120
this. I got to wonder what kind of pictures it backs up. Luke's not here. So we're going to talk

244
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:12,720
to Sean instead. We would like to use the photo stick. The instructions are to double click on

245
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:21,520
the photo stick underscore Windows.exe and it will backup our photos. No. Cool. All right. See you later.

246
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,720
One of the selling features that works with Windows 7.

247
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:33,840
40 bucks. It's $60 for a 32 gig. You're not backing up. Okay. On to our last product.

248
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:39,040
This is the bed jet. Uh-huh. It's basically an air conditioner slash heater for your bed.

249
00:24:39,120 --> 00:24:44,480
That sounds amazing. Yeah. Do you want to give it a try? I do. Okay. Wow. That's something.

250
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:50,000
It's a white noise generator too. Yeah. Bonus. It does heating and cooling

251
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:55,120
and that this sheet is only the single inlet, but you can actually get a sheet from them that'll

252
00:24:55,120 --> 00:24:58,960
do like a his and hers side. So you can have one side that's hotter or one side that's colder.

253
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:04,000
You would need a second machine. Yeah. I see that. Yes. So it doesn't do heating and cooling. It does

254
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:10,960
heating or cooling. Yes. Where is the air going? So it actually goes between the two layers of the

255
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:21,360
sheets. Oh. Okay. So this is my warmed bed. Good night, sweet prince. I'm not dying. It does look

256
00:25:21,360 --> 00:25:27,600
like it. How does it feel though? Can you tell it's warmer? Oh yeah. Okay. Oh yeah. No, it's great.

257
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:33,840
It's warm. Well, let's cool it. Now, I don't expect it to be as sophisticated as something like,

258
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:38,800
you know, eight sleep with their subscription nonsense. Yeah. But I also expect it to be a lower

259
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:46,240
price. Correct. I'm going to say 300 bucks. It's 600, but it's one of those products that is always

260
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:52,480
on sale. So we actually got it for 430. Okay. You could jank together something on your own for

261
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:59,280
a lot less than that. Or you could just not. Yeah. Do you need a subscription? No. Okay. Oh,

262
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:06,800
that's interesting. It definitely cools starting at the bottom and that, whoa, she's, she's flowing.

263
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:12,160
Wait, no, our AC just kicked in. It's pointed right at me, Andy. The cold's definitely coming

264
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:16,400
from inside the sheets as well, but I don't know if it's cold so much as it's like,

265
00:26:17,120 --> 00:26:21,440
it didn't warm up. You know, like when you get into the bed and the sheets are kind of cool.

266
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,760
Like it feels kind of like that. I think that's the whole point though. I don't think it's

267
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:30,320
necessarily supposed to be like an air condition replacement. Do you think this could help some

268
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:35,840
