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.

Google Pixel 8 - an honest review

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.

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...

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.
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
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 😂.

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?
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.
Это не такой уж и редкий телефон, в Минске его ещё можно где-то встретить и купить, правда, уже можно его использовать как звонилка и не более того, но, можно ли его подключить к компьютеру, и скопировать туда MIDI-файлы? мне просто интересно, просто потому, что я ни у кого не видел этот телефон даже в детстве, поэтому, любите Siemens SL45 как звонилку в 2024 году, не пожалеете
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.
How can i buy 1
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.
@@techbytech85 thnx buddy .... But I tried nd failed ... I didn't find those in free markets... But I m in an urgent need of one of them of that model .... If the person from which u browed wants to sell it then plz .. share my info with him ..price is not an issue to me but getting that phone is
Hello My friend u still have this phone LG u8130 I want it

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.
el mejor que he usado
Interesting. I must put an ad out on my old SL45, with sync cradle and earphones. It's in an almost pristine condition. Where do I do that to reach international buyers?
I don't really know how to trust a platform. For me, it's ironic since usually scammers come from Eastern Europe, but I find it difficult to sell internationally from Romania, as I have some collectable items myself that I want to sell. I don't know where you reside, but I can't really recommend any site.
Eu am platit in UK 35£ , iar la acest pret cred ca sunt cele mai bune casti audio wireles over ear de pe piata. In Romania vad ca sunt mai scumpe.
Exact. Legat de pret, se pare ca in continuare Romania e piata de dumping, produsele ajung ultimele cu un pret mai ridicat comparativ cu Europa de Vest ...
I like your review! Which version did you got, the textile one or the leather one? I just ordered the leather chair after testing one in the local store, and fell in love with it. You got a very nice deal at 850 lei, mine was 1300 lei, but stil cheaper than Razer Iskur
Thanks, mate, I appreciate it. I have the textile variant. Multumesc pentru vizualizari 😀.

@@techbytech85 Sunt curios cum se prezinta scaunul la 4 luni dupa acest video, ai mai avut alte probleme cu el, s-au slabit suruburile sau alte chestii ? Eu sunt anul 1 la medicina si caut sa iau un scaun sa fie destul de confortabil sa nu mai am dureri de spate avand in vedere ca petrec destrul de mult timp la birou. Ma gandeam si la un scaun ergonomic din plasa dar sunt sceptic in privinta lor. Tu ce zici se merita scaunul asta sau poate ai alte recomandari mai bune ?
@@rarezi Nu am sesizat alte probleme cu acest scaun. Il folosesc zi de zi, din experienta as spune ca este un produs corect non-premium. In continuare face acel zgomot enervant, ca o pocnitura, dar am invatat sa il ignor 😀 Pe mine m-a interesat sa fie comod pentru cifoza mea (cred ca stii la ce ma refer, tu fiind in Medicina), iar pretul a fost mai mult decat corect. Il recomand in categoria scaunelor "gaming" (ce-o fi si asta), adica cele masive, pe roti, cu spatar plin. Mai am la birou la job unul mesh-at, ala il consider alta gama, nu am facut o comparatie din motive evidente (pe acela nu il pot filma), dar asta mi se pare mai ok.

I used to have one when I was 10 back in 2017, I had no SIM card, I used it like an iPod touch.
Glad to hear, not many people seem to remember the thing.
Nowadays, This Phone Is Best For People Who Want A Cheap Phone For Text & Calls.
That was a fun video:) Thanks
Your comment really brightened my day, thanks mate 😀 it makes it all worthwhile
Im still using the earbuds that this phone came with, i just soldered a cable from another set with 3.5mm jack :) It was exeptional my best phone to this day, u could flash the firmware of the 45i on the simple 45 and turn it into a 45i. I could download java apps, i could do things that no other phone could, i remember sending SMS messages without my phone number beeing visible it was GREAT! God i loved this phone so much.
Hi I just came across you (&subscribed) whilst googling for new battery for my otherwise perfect SL45. If I can't get one cheaply I might sell instead with box & all kit as new. Few points of disagreement - I'd like to see a better built phone! Also I have 2 M100's. In UK, Samsung claimed to be FIRST mp3 player, with 32 MB internal memory, but then Siemens trumped them with their 32 MB MM card. I never got round to trying a 64 card later. The market was developing so fast, & then you just HAD to have a 3G phone! I have a great collection including 4 x Sony/Eric 890i and hated the idea of selling ANY of them ! ! But I suppose I might if the prices are going up. Decent battery availability is always a problem and I'm not an experienced solderer.
Hello. It's very gracious of you, I appreciate your views and subscription. As for the phone, I agree, and the video itself is not my best effort in terms of imagery. I plan to change my filming location, but I am currently renovating that place. I also hope to feature some odd phones, but more expensive ones at that. My distant goal would be a Motorola Aura, or something in that class. My personal opinion is that Nokia 8800s are played out, so I don't think I will be touching on those any time soon. At any rate, I feel I am doing this out of passion for gadgetry and as sort of a calling (I am a journalist by trade after all) and that my clips are improving slightly. I hope you stick with my latest ones, if nothing just to see the difference. I'm trying to keep modest, and I'm not patting myself on the back here 😀, it's just a passion project that I hope to take further. All the best to you.

IT still Looks good today
Some still debate this fact, but in my interpretation, this generation C klasse represents the height of Mercedes-Benz design revolution, a clear departure from the boxy 80's and early 90's cars, which looked great but were ageing by the 00's. So, yeah, I do agree completely, it most definitely looks good today.
