A mild mannered automotive engineer by day, a geeky weird tech hoarder in my spare time. Ever wondered what a magnesium made pocket pc built by HTC for HP in the early 2000's feels like? Well, wonder no more, as I mostly buy useless tech junk so you don't have to.
Then again, like most of us, I am an avid tech consumer, so you might also find relevant day-to-day gadget reviews on this channel, as well.

The Panasonic Lumix GX1 - a retro throwback review
Just me again, your friendly, neighborhood tech hoarder. Alas, this time I managed to get hold of an actual micro four thirds camera, something that might still be considered relevant, albeit an well-aged model.
So stick around for this quasi-informative video.

Well, not for me, exactly, but I gotten hold of one, and got to use it for a few days. Stick around for my honest, no-thrills review and first look of a contemporary flagship phone in 2024.
Google Pixel 8 - an honest review
Переглядів 3025 місяців тому
No cheap thrills here, just an honest no-nonsense review of a very important phone, the contender, the Pixel 8. Seen here in the vanilla variant, it really does pack a punch. So let's see how far above it's price point can it go.
The Watch 4 Pro from TEMU

What is the most affordable smartwatch out there that is worth looking into and is not a total failure? I bet you didn't see this one coming, at least not at the ridiculous price it's being advertised. Yes, you read that right, 5 euros could actually get you a smartwatch, or at least, it could have in early March 2024. The seller? Why it's TEMU.com. Chipper Doodle - Electronic Light by Kevin Ma...

Petrolhood Part 2 - The how and the why of my MX-5
I owned this phone and so did my son. It was great for the time.
anything on it work with no app/phone connections and no wifi
Don't forget that it's an TFT, 65k colors 2.1 inch, 176 x 208 pixels (~130 ppi density) display. If you transfer the image on your modern day monitor or smartphone the images would look amazing for such an old phone
Uh huh... and how often do you have to recharge that smart watch? Where as that casio... you dont ever have to charge it (just dont shove it in a drawer longer than 5 months, needs at least bulb light ), nor do you ever have to set it as long as youre in a location that has an atomic radio signal. As for price.... lose the sapphire crystal and titanium and you can drop the lineage and get a wave cepter for about 90 bucks cheaper. Even seen them at 80 bucks sealed, if you go with leather, cloth or rubber straps. The Wvq 410 or wva 640 and 630 can be found like that.
Looks like you hate the fact that this is far far cheaper than the ones you bought.... you can't go wrong at that price...
The fiat croma is just a Vauxhall vectra with a different body and interior
Had mine 5 years now, still prefer it to my Vauxhall insignia jve also got, wished fiat hadn't stopped selling it in the UK would of brought the newer version
I had a Fujitsu Siemens Pocket Loox 720 and always wanted this one
Does the quality differ between wired and wirless? I wish you do a crtitical comparation between 720 and 710
HTC Wildfires aren't flagships 😂😂😂 they're budget/low end
I think prehaps you were not using the camera, properly!! shutter speed, Aperture, and ISO the camara has quite a lot to play with like big cameras you must learn to use them then you would be surprised what you can do with the little camera .
Had a couple W203s, they are not as good as other similarly sized cars (Ford Focus, Astra, Mondeo, Laguna etc), (still drives like a 70s car and build quality is rather poor) but must admit they have a certain charm
My all time favourite phone
How can I display WhatsApp messages on my smartwatch? I've tried everything but it doesn't show me anything.
Love the elegant design of this car, after a few years being forgotten, now it seems to be receiving some attention from the public. But like everyone says, the best buy is the facelift model, with all issues sorted, updated interior and new engines, the C230 Sport is a great deal.
They were never forgotten. They’ve been on the roads all over the world since they came out
Please give me this phone nokia 6630 i m from india kolkata
£5. Nothing to complain about
How is the quality is it soft or very hard? Is it good for several hours? And what your opinion after 5months is it worth the money? Im around 180cm tall
Sorry I didn't get to answer sooner. Chair is fine, been using it all this time, still pops sometimes, doesn't really bother me. Otherwise, it's very comfortable, I spend about 2 hours daily sitting in it. Would not consider it the best, but the best offer for the money.
This was my first mobile phone
Thanks for sharing, I was aiming for the memory lane. I have acquired an SL75 recently, but since I am busy with some other projects, it might take me a few more months to post it.
Very underrated car !This car is amazing value for money,better than VW and Audi...it drives similar to Mercedes E class 2005 year,i've changed many brand including 2 BMW 3 series (e36,e46),2 Volvo V50,VW Bora,tried just for 30 minutes Mercedes E class 2005 year from a friend,so i know what i am speaking . Now i have Croma II facelift 2010 year,very impressed with the ride,quality and everything...its very big family car.About repair...its like every old second hand car,its just luck.
Good point. It's been 3 years since I filmed that clip, alot has changed, I have improved, I guess it had taken me some time to draw up a conclusion back then, but it's that one. Surprisingly smooth and pleasant ride, albeit a heavy one. And as for a second hand car, all require TLC, so no surprises there. Each time I see one in my area, my heart skips a bit, although they are getting rarer.
Hello I am searching for a SD SDIO card to add wifi any recommendations? Love the video
I wish I could, but the answer with these oldies is always the same: check Ebay or the equivalent online thrift web platform in your country and hope for some part to come up. Right now, on the biggest site in my country - OLX, there are fewer than 10 such gadgets for sale, and that is the whole Ipaq range, not one particular model or series. That is awfully low, even for an obscure piece of tech like this. Recently, I have said, jokingly, that the Ipaqs are so obscure, you can't even find them on youtube any more.
So better don't buy
It's not really that simple, I invite you to watch the video again, and draw your own conclusions about the quality of the product and the services themselves. Not everyone affords a premium smartwatch and those who don't shouldn't be exposed to shady commercial practices and subpar quality products.
My mark 5 1.9 tid golf now has 275.000 miles on it and it’s never broke down and still on original clutch 😂.
where did you learn english? Chiar vorbesti fluid. PS: si eu sunt din oradea ! :D
Ma bucur sa te cunosc. Ce se spun, pasiunea mea, in scoala si cam atat. Antrenament cat de mult, si youtube e singura modalitate sa imi expun abilitatile 😀
It is real wood in all Mercedes...
Bro, how tall are you? I'm thinking of buying this chair but I can only order it online.
Hey there. I am 1.73-1.74 meters tall, or there about. If you are under 1.85 I don't see an issue. Even if you are taller than that, the chair is highly customisable, but for larger persons maybe a razer iskur xl would be more appropriate, but at a much higher cost.
God bless you bro
I'm flattered by by you support and kind words. Back at you, mate. Where are you from, if you don't mind?
@@techbytech85 i am from Pakistan currently working in Middle east.
These came out my senior high school year. They've always been my favourite. Still hoping for a GTI 2.0T despite timing and carbon problems. Sadly, we never got the MKV TDI Golf (Rabbit here in North America).
I always thought you missed out by not getting the diesel options. Yes, they pollute, but honestly, so do gasoline engines. These golfs or rabbits, as you call them, have the look and feel of a modern classic. There is something inherently ellegant in the simplified design and engineering that went into them.
What is the max load on the chair?
Tested for 110 kg.
I have this exact watch for over a year now. And love it. The bracelet is all titanium. The case is all titanium. It is super light weight. The crystal is sapphire. Removing or adding links is 50 times faster than using special tools. 15 minutes in direct sunlight, or 8 hours under my LED desk lamp gives me 5 months of battery power. It sets the exact time to less than 1 second accuracy, by radio automatically every night. You do not have to do anything to make this happen. It has count up timer function and a countdown timer function which I use every day (making coffee and tea). First responders and police often choose this watch. Time on their wrist is of great importance.
it was my fathers car, now i drive it, it still drives the same as 20 years ago
Glad to hear it's in good working order. The one I used for the review wasn't exactly top tier, I tried to let that show; to expand on the idea that the model itself is full of potential as a modern classic, just not the car in question. As for a passion project for myself, I ended up purchasing an Mx-5.
Had it for 1 year back in 2001 or so. I think i still have the parts somewhere. Was great for mp3s and recording stuff. I still have recording of a forest bird song on my g drive 😁
I feel you, so right. I got mine a bit later on, in 2003 or so, and it was a battered example, but I managed to change the whole housing because it was cracked at the middle and didn't hold its battery. Needless to say, it was a knock-off housing, so it didn't quite fit and created a whole slew of other problems. But I soldiered on with it, and over the course of a few years, I encountered about 3 or 4 other sl45s, even a minter. Just brings back fond memories.
Is there any alternative watch face app other than rdfit?
Well, it is a smartwatch after all, so I figure rhere are themes and customisable themes available for downloading, ypu just need to connect the device to a smartphone and configure it from there on.
no there is no other watch face than rdfit..
S24 Ultra for 200 $, get me one also.😁
Why do you say 200 $? I haven't made such claim.
@@techbytech85 my bad then! twelve hundred ...:D
@@ionm4996 no worries :)
Brings back a lot of memories 🥺🥺
Well, that's the whole point of this video. By your emoji, I take it not so happy memories, if it just nostalgia over older tech, progress is natural and should be taken as a whole, not by nitpicking potential foibles. If my review brought back sad thoughts (which I hope is not the case), then you have my sympathy.
Belle montre. Classique
Merci beaucoup.
Hello My friend u still have this phone LG u8130 I want it
Hey, mate. I appreciate your view and message. However, please pay more attention to the video, I specifically mentioned I borrowed this phone for presentation purposes, I don't own it. Furthermore, I always emphasise the fact that I do not encourage commerce on the youtube platform, I like to keep things transparent and light. I don't see myself selling things over the internet via yt messaging. If you want to get hold of one of these phones, I suggest the straightforward option of ebay or similar websites, or just do what I did and roam the fleamarkets, I'm sure you have them in your country.
I want to buy one but I dont know if i can use a sim card or connect it to the Internet actually
Connecting a SIM card will not be an issue for the moment, at least it wasn't for me when I tested it (I actually got to call and hear myself speak in the call), but internet connection is another issue; these don't support speeds above 3G, and as far as I am aware, most of EU and US has ditched speeds bellow 4G connection. This change has rendered classic Blackberry devices useless.
Hello, great video! By the way, what you think about this car with 2.4 mtjet 200 hp engine, automatic transmition?
Thanks, mate. I think your proposal is quite appropriate considering I have found this car to behave very suv like, so that surge of power and torque from a 2.4 jtd combined with an auto tranny would make a perfect combination. Is this your plan, to transfer a 2.4 jtd in a croma? I don't believe they were sold with it, but I might be mistaken ( will check). I do know they are great powerplants, very appreciated in alfa 159s.
@techbytech85 hey, thanks for your response. There is 2.4 200 hp multijet version of this car from '06. I think I'll give it a try, seems fun to drive... Cheers!
This is one of the most reliable cars in Algeria, the 1.4mpi is better than the 1.6 16v , comfortable and quick and cheap to maintain
Glad to hear of your experiences with this machine, cheap French motoring at its finest
Smart watches are crap that are whacked together on a process line you dip!! You are holding workmanship. Not a microchip with a led screen. Plus, smart watches look bodgey asf!
I'm pretty certain that is the attitude farmers had when they first set their eyes on an automobile, and we all know how that ended up. Progress is inevitable, whether good or bad, simple or complex, outrageous or not. Resorting to name calling will not make you the wiser man, but I guess you have been told that before. At any rate, that was my interpretation, which I give to the internet freely, do with it as you will.
Is that a oil leak
It's unrelated to the car, I was filming in a truck parking lot.
if you were to turn the headphones up loud while listening to music, would outsiders be able to hear the music?
I have actually tried this yesterday. Some music would be heard were you to turn the volume all the way, though I must say it's a bit too much for the ear, and I don't know what you would accomplish. You are better off getting a noise cancelling model if you are so bothered by the outside noise that you need to crank the volume 100%.
God i loved this phone! I had the SL45i version. It was the most advanced when it came out. Mp3, memory card, dictaphone, voice/call record, Java. It was very expensive. Almost 2 months of salary at that time
Yeah, I remember the times. I am going to get my hands on an sl75 soon, but the video might not come out until next month.
My Casio WVA-500 battery lasted 14 years, and I suspect it was faulty from the start as it didn't charge fully. I replaced it and the new one works better, I guess in another 15 years we'll know if it outlasts the first battery. Smartwatches need to be charged so often it is annoying. Bringing notifications to my wrist is not really a benefit, we are distracted enough already. Having reliably accurate time in this small lightweight package at this price point is amazing. Titanium, sapphire crystal, solar charging, atomic time, lots of features there too if one wants to use them. This is one of the best combinations of features/value/price in Casio's lineup.
2:08 I have a Three N73, but it doesn't have the 2007 shutter animation. It has the glassy one used from 2006 and 2008. Themes probably have to do with firmware.
Hey, mate. I highly appreciate your interest in the phone and in my channel. But I must come clean and tell you that at this point you are more in the loop as to what the 3 version N73 is. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
And when you say I'm in the loop, I'm definitely not. I have a video that proves this.
What's the name of the 3 theme on this?
thanks man I'm gonna buy it now
Glad to hear my clip was helpful. Cheers
Hmmm, the ad I got before the vid was for TEMU.
Wow, is that ironic or what? I was really critical about them in my video.
Salut. A mea e 1.4 2007. Nici nu indraznesc sa visez ce misto ar fi sa am 105 cai in loc de 75. Cu a treia gol de abia urc Feleacu…
Salutare, stiu ca suna ca un raspuns generic, dar 75 cp, chiar daca nu sunt multi, sunt adecvati pentru acest sasiu. Chiar poti simti ca si 105 sunt placuti, dar limita superioara si bine gandita la capitolul motorizare/putere. Pe de alta parte, tu ai un motor foarte fiabil si usor de intretinut, prietenos cu bugetul. Cum spuneam, basic motoring at its finest.
