1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,960
handy tech under a hundred it's time for

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:13,200
handy tech the show where we find handy stuff that's tech and show it to you

3
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:18,000
it's also one of the only series that we have managed to stick with over the

4
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:22,320
years anyway we've got a lot of great stuff in our hands today to fuel your

5
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:26,480
childhood gaming nostalgia that is unless you're currently a child in which

6
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:30,960
case you probably won't really get most of this stuff

7
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:36,079
speaking of getting it get tunnelbear tunnelbear is the really simple privacy

8
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:40,320
app so you can enjoy a more open internet to try tunnelbear for free go

9
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:50,320
to tunnelbear.com LTT we'll have that linked below

10
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:56,000
first up is the sn30 from 8-bit doe a

11
00:00:53,440 --> 00:01:01,120
remarkably accurate replica of one of nintendo's most beloved controllers

12
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:06,479
only made like six controllers so it's not that hard but anyway it even has the

13
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:09,520
right mix of convex and concave buttons

14
00:01:06,479 --> 00:01:12,080
it's available in snes or famicom color

15
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:17,119
schemes and it was designed for use with the recent nest classic and super nes

16
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:22,240
classic consoles since for some reason nintendo decided that in

17
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:27,439
spite of the much greater size of modern tvs they would endow those systems with

18
00:01:24,799 --> 00:01:30,640
cables that are much shorter than the originals

19
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:36,320
so now then you can sit comfortably on the couch because not only is the sn30 a

20
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:41,600
2.4 gigahertz wireless controller it also lets you reset the console remotely

21
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:46,479
by holding down and select the controllers can last for up to 25 hours

22
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:51,119
off of just an hour of charging over usb micro b and they are reasonably priced

23
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:55,920
at 25 bucks now unfortunately the dongle complete

24
00:01:54,159 --> 00:02:01,040
with nest style grill marks uses nintendo's proprietary connector so

25
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:05,759
while you can use the sn30 as a wired controller for your pc mac or Android

26
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:09,840
device by plugging in a usb cable it doesn't have the broad functionality of

27
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:17,360
the sn30 pro turning everything good about the sn30

28
00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:22,480
up to 11 it's got modern nintendo features like rumble feedback and motion

29
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:27,680
control plus this nifty button for taking screenshots on the switch

30
00:02:24,959 --> 00:02:33,440
it also has thumbsticks a home button and two sets of l and r shoulder buttons

31
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:38,239
making it a fully functional xbox one controller that can connect to anything

32
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:42,319
with a bluetooth signal the feel is a little less authentic it's heavier they

33
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:46,560
had to shift the buttons up to make room for the joysticks and like the regular

34
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:50,879
one it is thicker than an original controller not to mention that it's

35
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:55,599
twice the price at 49 bucks but it could be much more useful

36
00:02:53,280 --> 00:03:00,239
especially with the 8 smartphone clip accessory which does a surprisingly good

37
00:02:57,599 --> 00:03:04,480
job of hanging on to even large phones though the weight is

38
00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:08,000
slightly imbalanced alright then so you like the idea of

39
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:15,840
tactile gaming on the go but you want something smaller how about the ardu boy a credit card

40
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:19,360
sized 8-bit game platform that lets you

41
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,480
not only play games but also make and

42
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:24,400
share them ardy boy comes with only a single

43
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:31,200
classic 8-bit game but it can be reprogrammed from a huge library of free

44
00:03:27,519 --> 00:03:33,760
open source and editable games online

45
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:37,840
the unit itself is super light but still feels durable with a metal back

46
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:43,519
polycarbonate front and subjectively pretty fantastic buttons and it's got a

47
00:03:40,799 --> 00:03:47,840
toggle switch to turn it on a 1.3 inch black and white passive matrix OLED

48
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:52,239
screen and two piezo speakers to blare your favorite chiptunes for up to eight

49
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:56,480
hours on a single charge and because it's based on arduino leonardo it can

50
00:03:54,319 --> 00:04:01,439
actually be recognized as an input device like a synth keyboard or even a

51
00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:05,120
remote for your quadcopter not bad for 49 bucks

52
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:10,400
but if you're not interested in the user programmy crowdsourcing thing you can

53
00:04:08,239 --> 00:04:16,880
also get an alternate version of the ardu boy the tetris micro card this one

54
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:21,840
has an additional toggle for sound a vertically oriented screen and only one

55
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:26,720
game an officially licensed version of tetris complete with piece preview wall

56
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:30,800
kick and soft landings there are 15 difficulty levels that

57
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:36,479
should be enough for most people especially since you cannot pause the

58
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:39,759
game and it's a little bit dear at 54

59
00:04:36,479 --> 00:04:43,199
but as fun little retro toys go it is

60
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:44,880
pretty awesome great gift idea now to

61
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:50,400
mash all of the themes we've touched on so far into one

62
00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:53,040
the nest pie case is a tiny nintendo

63
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:59,919
themed enclosure for your raspberry pi b plus two or three it has slots for

64
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:02,320
microsd expansion usb power in HDMI out

65
00:04:59,919 --> 00:05:06,479
and audio out then it's got its own handy daughter board to handle

66
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:11,440
pass-through Ethernet and four usb 2 ports as well as power and reset buttons

67
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:16,000
and a cute little red led and this is cool they include a small fan mount so

68
00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:20,880
you can utilize the original slotted grille for cooling and there's even a

69
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:25,039
mysterious little compartment that you may or may not remember on the original

70
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:29,600
nest that the nest pie uses to hold extra sd cards this thing is actually a

71
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:33,919
great value even if you're not into the pie scene at 28 bucks you could easily

72
00:05:32,479 --> 00:05:38,800
pay more for just a nintendo themed desk ornament and i'm

73
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:42,479
not even mad that it's not as white as the one on the website because the

74
00:05:40,479 --> 00:05:46,080
yellowing here makes it look really realistic

75
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:48,720
leading us to finally hmm

76
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:53,039
how are we going to tie this into the theme

77
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:56,880
you could use it to lock up all this gaming stuff so that your roommates

78
00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:02,639
don't touch it with their greasy dorito hands sure that's it anyway the tap lock

79
00:05:59,919 --> 00:06:06,560
is a smart padlock that you unlock with your fingerprint just press your finger

80
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:12,080
against the capacitive sensor and the lock opens in just .8 seconds which is

81
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:15,520
key for a lock that you open and close all the time like your gym locker or

82
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:21,520
your new year's resolution forbidden snack covered priced at 85 bucks the tap

83
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:25,360
lock can hold up to 500 fingerprints making it easy to share with your whole

84
00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:29,759
family and the battery can last for up to a year or

85
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:34,880
3500 unlocks before it needs to be topped up with the magnetic cable

86
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:38,639
you can grant and revoke access to other people using the companion app and you

87
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:42,880
can also use it to check on the lock's battery life and open it without your

88
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:46,319
finger by connecting over bluetooth as for how strong it is as a plain old lock

89
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:52,479
i mean like anything with the right tools you could obviously break it but it's pretty

90
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:56,720
beefy so at 300 grams the electroplated body is made of xanax iii while the

91
00:06:54,479 --> 00:07:00,080
anti-shim and the anti-pry shackle is seven millimeters of reinforced

92
00:06:58,479 --> 00:07:03,360
stainless steel as for whether it can withstand the

93
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:09,840
weather though that's a bit of a mixed bag so tap lock is ip66 rated so any

94
00:07:07,599 --> 00:07:14,800
amount of rain should be fine as long as it doesn't get submerged but when it

95
00:07:12,479 --> 00:07:21,440
comes to temperature it's only rated for between negative 10 and 60 degrees

96
00:07:17,599 --> 00:07:23,360
celsius so not ideal if your shed is in

97
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:26,880
northern canada all right then so as with any handy tech
