FYI, the "F" Energy Rating is the same as the "A+" Energy Rating was pre-March 2021, when the regulations were changed. It's virtually impossible to find A+ (and above) rated devices anymore.
@@MarcraM yeah I forget what the little details are, I've just noticed that a lot of manufacturers outside of the EU still go for the old "A+" rating (and even still advertise it as such on Amazon for example) only for items to get official "F" ratings now, which obviously sounds a lot worse.
Fun anecdote: I bought an OLED display at the end of 2020 and my parents bought the exact same model a few months later after I was constantly praising it. Mine had an A+ (?) rating and when my parents bought it, it was much, much worse rated (IIRC F). However, the whole rating change was definitely needed, because the number of pluses on some appliances was getting ridiculous (weren‘t there some refrigerators with an A++++ rating?).
@@tombrauey "A+++" was the highest before and it caps out as just "A" now for most things. And yeah, it's more transparent than before, a needed change thanks to the energy crisis.
As member of EU and ex retail worker. The sticker is for shop use, we used to stick it on frame of TV/Monitor. Basically it has to be visible all the time for customers to see, Its law and in case of inspection you can get fined if there is missing one. Also its mandatory for washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, fridges etc.
That's right. As I bought my first new washing machine for my parents it was a demonstrator so there is still the sticker with the doubleplus A stuck to the front. I remember as this got also mandatory for TVs about ~10+? years ago a friend and I went to an big electronics chain store in the next big city. As we entered the TV and monitor section we couldn't stop laughing cause they put that label in the middle of the actual screen while some news content was running on them and the speaker had the label right over his face. The next time we visited they put the labels on the frame as intended.
The fact that they were joking about the seller "undercutting the FDA" reminded me of a story where people got sick in droves and people even died, but when the FDA wanted to step in the supplement industry went into full campaign mode saying "the FDA will take away your supplements, contact your local representative today!" and it worked. As I understand it the market is still unregulated meaning there's basically no one ensuring you're not putting literal poison in your body. It's wild man.
Btw on the monitor label, the really bad rating is pretty normal - before hand there were tons of A+, A++, ... categories after the original rating system became pretty much irrelevant due to how energy efficient stuff got, so there was a recounting and now the A category is pretty much empty and there are very few items in B and C. The most efficient I've seen a monitor is D and a TV on E
Ironically, the rating system is pretty much as irrelevant as it became before the change. Just bought a new freezer. The saving potential from best to worst rated is probably like 20 bucks a year but the lowest rated, chinesium el-cheapo freezer sets you back like 5000 bucks less than the "good" one. The freezer I just threw out was probably going on 15 years... Still faaaaar away from the required 50 year lifespan to make back the price difference through energy savings.
The power rating measure the monitor at its full brightness with all the setting cranked to max. So if you do some tweaking you can get better power management
@@RetiredRhetoricalWarhorse the energy rating is not designed to improve the experience of a single customer, it may not save you a lot of money but when you multiply those energy savings by 1billion people it becomes a huge amount of energy and stress put on the power grid.

Sometimes in the winter it's mildly painful for me to use touch screens, just the skin at my fingertips drying out I think, I could see it being useful to use these..... you know, like a week out of the year, lmao
The sticker with energy rating, for the monitor, is for retail display. I worked in retail selling TVs and monitors, those came in every box and we had to put them on the TV/Monitor. Either by sticking them to the bezel, as they used to have a thin strip of paper that exposed only part of the adhesive side or in acrylic stands together with specs. Some people stuck them full on the screen, but we don't talk about them too much.
The additional energy label with the monitor is for stores that put the product on display, they need to put the sticker on the screen to show the energy rating.
German here, those Energy Rating stickers come with everything, on bigger Appliances ( fridge/washingmashine) they are applied to the Item, Those have to be displayed on the Displaymodel in retail stores. This is the solution manufactures came up with for it.
I kind of like the idea of those USB heated gloves. I mean, I live in Finland in 80-100 year old wooden house, and it gets pretty chilly. I now use one of those lizard lamps to warm up my fingers 😂 Tried wrist warmers, then fingerless gloves, then full gloves, tried a heating pad under the keyboard... The lizard lamp is the first one that actually works. Highly recommended, but make double sure that the light fixture can take the heat. These days most of them are made for LED or low wattage bulbs.
Should look in to an infrared heater.warms you, but not so much the stuff it's not directed at. or, if ascetics don't matter, just put your computer on the desk with the back pointing toward your keyboard/mouse.
For the cheeto chopstick things, I heard things like that are actually really popular in Asian markets, and lots of chip bags come pre packaged with little finger gloves to serve a similar purpose.
9:14 that sticker is for exposing in stores. when someone enters in an electronics store and wants to see that "energy consumption rate sh*t", the customer service guy doesnt need to bring the box from the back, he just puts that sticker on the edge of the monitor.
I remember picking up some fun little toys and gimmicks from Whish early in its lifespan. but nothing over 10$. I'm honestly shocked af how expensive these items are! Quality and value aside, I did not expect to see anything priced at that level
For real! I saw a good amount of on brand mech keyboards & mice on Newegg for only $25-$50 and 120hz displays for like $100, how is wish this expensive for all this e waste 😂
@@hythere I think it's a brand-identity thing and videos like these kind of play into it. Wish is manifested as "Get stuff very cheap, quality aside" platform and I assume a lot of people just look for stuff on Wish without questioning if its actually the cheapest and best deal, simply because they assume nobody is going to do it cheaper than Wish.
i got the mouse as part of a bundle (exact same keyboard and mouse but both were wireless) as a christmas present and it really did last half a year. but the bettery lasts just about as long as the buttons which wore out very fast
So I was going to say How can they make this video format interesting again after like the 5th time, but they did just that and who ever bought the stuff went hard and unique in a way that isnt normal and that made for a fun and interesting video!
I got those snack sticks at 18:00 for Christmas and I thought they were the dumbest thing. I've since used them very often, it's actually really nice being able to snack without getting your hands dirty
I would love to see a new version of this video where you guys actually try to get a genuinely nice setup for the least amount of money. Just by using common sense when ordering the products and avoiding obvious scams.
Funniest themed build video in a while. I think Adam is hitting his stride, and Linus and his on screen chemistry seems to be working better than in older videos. That or I’m just getting used to it 😂
The Monitor energy efficiency sticker is probably for display units. In tech stores over here in Germany, display unit monitors and tv's (and other electronical devices like fridges, washing machines, etc) have their energy rating stickered onto them with a similar looking and sized sticker.
Same in Brazil, we see these in display units in stores as we adopted the EU rating system under the 'selo Procel', but normally this comes in the box with the sticker already applied in the product. The last thing I remember buying was my Panasonic fridge and I bought it online and it came with the sticker already applied. Perhaps wish (or more realistically, the factory in China) simply didn't bother putting the sticker :D
hab mal bei Saturn gearbeitet, es ist tatsächlich gesetzlich vorgeschrieben, dass das Energielabel dran sein muss, sonst kann man harte Geldstrafen bekommen. Also wenn du einem Markt mal so richtig eins auswischen willst, weißte wo du anfangen kannst :D

I know laptop reviews are uncommon but it would be cool to see you guys get a couple "mobile workstations" at different price points and compare them to a desktop version and a gaming laptop.
14:55 The controller dongle looks exactly like the one from Microsoft's Xbox One Controller for Windows, first generation. The later version got a lot smaller though.
I’ve actually got that mouse, I’ve had it for more than 4 years and it still works great, somehow… the battery doesn’t last half a year but around 1-2 months. I mainly like it for its low button press and silent clicks.
Those EU stickers are for offices and landlords. If you put the sticker on when you buy, it’s way easier to track your power efficiency ratings, which comes in handy when you need to work out power costs or need to get a rental property rated for power efficiency (which is a requirement for many furnished rentals either legally or by the agencies/advertising boards). It’s a huge waste of paper when selling direct to consumers, but it comes in mighty handy for business use
17:52 - I use regular chopsticks, so I can say that this thing could be actually useful. You can eat snacks without making your mouse and keyboard gross.
So... are there any monitors actually had an A rating? Or was it reserved for future monitor technologies from space aliens after we invented cold fusion?
I actually have this exact AJAZZ Keyboard. I've been using it for several years now and I'm still happy with it. It would have been really interesting to hear what Linus has to say about it though.
8:40 To be fair, an F or E rating is pretty standard for monitors. All electric devices like monitors, fridges or washing machines have to have these labels in the EU.
I actually own two Ajazz AK33 keyboards, one for home,, one for the office. They are actually surprisingly nice for the price, although I got mine years ago when they still shipped with mini USB. Also, the Ajazz has an individually addressable RGB option for $35 or a single color one for a bit less.
@@mamuteddymad What do you mean they need to do more research they litterally have the product at hand, maybe it was a fake but still they were talking about the specific keyboard they had
@@abacus7087 they actually didn't use the ajazz one. They used the meme keyboard mouse pack. Ajazz is a reputable brand and got many good budget keyboards for people like me who can't afford more expensive ones. they should've not treated it as a joke. Should've mentioned that it was fairly good for the price. as well, mentioned other products available form the ajazz brand that are actually dope on a budget. if you go through the comments you can see so many people have the same opinion on this brand as well. so if they did the slightest market research they would've known ajazz is not just another no name Chinese meme OEM brand. That being said, it's just my opinion and I don't need to explain it as I just did. You can disagree with it. but at what point did you feel like ltt needs defending over my sub-comment that they won't ever see or know it existed even. they making videos and making money and this comment is nonexistent to them. Their growth doesn't effect your life in any way. you not robinhood buds. Just share your opinion and move on. life is too short to have dumb debates in UA-cam comments. you wasting your time. you not even an ltt employee. Niether they would ever care about my comment nor yours. You gain nothing from White Knighting them except losing some precious time.
The little keychain controller isn't a bad thing sorta. It's nice with old retro emulation, like nes, gb, etc. Not very big, easily carried, etc. I use to have one and used with phone to play emulators as on screen controls are just meh. But that was before I just ended up getting a 8Bitdo Zero 2 and then their micro as it's basically the zero 2 but also with r2/l2 instead of just r1/l1 buttons. They are a bit bigger but they're tons better and I use them to play all the way up to ps1 emulation instead of being stuck with lowers due to lack of good way to us shoulder buttons/lack of l2/r2. The 8bitdo micro might be a bit bigger but the additional buttons and being well a 8bitdo it's tons better. Even so, it's still easily carried around without taking up much space.
I actually purchased that mouse here in India as my first gaming mouse and it's pretty much working till date after 4 years with good dpi and battery back up, charges up in around 2-3 hours and goes on for around 12 hours without RGB and 8 hours approx with RGB. Only after I gave that mouse to my sister after 2 years of personal usage the left click is bit a miss half of the times. Yeah it's a dongle based mouse without Bluetooth connectivity and had pretty strong connection. Micro usb charge and an inbuilt usb dongle holder and a sick all white Design (same as in the video here but in shades of white & grey) all at around $8 which is really good 👍
18:00 those are meant to be "mounted" on your index and middle finger so you can keep holding your controller or mouse while still having them holding food.
I'm sure the electric mittens are for colder environments such that the heat will be dissipated faster than it could possibly burn you and you should be sensitive enough to know when to take them off if it ceases to be cold around you.
I have the AJazz keyboard that I bought from Aliexpress like 2 or 3 years ago, and it's the one entering level for mechanic keyboards im satisfied with. I Got the cable in package and no problem with any button places. The 75% key layouts and RGB quality is insanely great. SO bad that Linus changed it and didnt pay too much attention to it...
I second that. Used mine for almost 3 years, till the switch to Akko. With 3rd party double pbt keycaps, ajazz is a really good-looking and functioning mechanical keyboard with actually good switches, and what's really good is that it doesn't need crappy soft to configure rgb. The only drawback is the old mini-usb cable ...and maybe "ringy" (rattling) base, which can be solved with some muffling
The newer Ajazz AK-33 boards are USB-C, but it's a complete lottery which you get sent. They're actually pretty decent mechanical keyboards for the price. It's been my go to "chuck in bag" board for the last 6 years or so. I would also add that the older high gloss keys have substantially nicer lettering than the newer matte keys but oh well. I'll say that after several years, no reliability issues and it's decent enough to type and game on.
9:12 it's for the shops, when they display the monitor the shop put the stiker in the screen, with that the consumer can see the energy ratings, the size, the consumtion of energy and in the QR you can see all the extra info in more details. All the big electronics have that sticker with the product.
0:07 already offended. i got this keyboard. in case anybody was wondering. DON'T buy it. its bad. the display dial sucks. it only accepts inputs at a very slow rate maybe like 1sec. there is nothing good i can say about this keyboard. well maybe that ic an have my num block on the left side which i like for hotkeys but thats it
as an European electrician, I must say. We had around early 2023 a reform that changed all the energy ratings. As we were having newer and newer devices that required less and less power often getting rated with A+ ( up to A+++) was getting out of control. As to the old standard, a conventional light bulb with 60W was considered to be around F/G., and an LED counterpart with 4.7W was considered A+. After the reform, the LED one was ranked down to F meaning that monitor by the fact that the rating is shown up to A instead of the old A+++ being the best, is not as bad as it seems
20:55 "I wonder how the mic quality is?" This would actually be a fantastic video. Pickup a load of cheap headsets and see how well NVIDIA's RTX Voice software can improve it. Can free software improve junk microphones, or even beat highend ones when talking on multiplayer game services? No one wants to hear 12v fans in the background of someone smack talking, you don't want to be that noob do you?

Sometimes in the winter it's mildly painful for me to use touch screens, just the skin at my fingertips drying out I think, I could see it being useful to use these..... you know, like a week out of the year, lmao
some watchmakers also use them
Or just wear gloves...................................
nitrile glove work great for models
You can buy these made out of regular rubber for very cheap.
I love when David is filming, he always interjects with the best comments! We need him more on camera too 😁
The sticker with energy rating, for the monitor, is for retail display. I worked in retail selling TVs and monitors, those came in every box and we had to put them on the TV/Monitor. Either by sticking them to the bezel, as they used to have a thin strip of paper that exposed only part of the adhesive side or in acrylic stands together with specs. Some people stuck them full on the screen, but we don't talk about them too much.
“Surely, an ethically ambiguous retailer could help me save some cash…” That’s hilarious.
The additional energy label with the monitor is for stores that put the product on display, they need to put the sticker on the screen to show the energy rating.
German here, those Energy Rating stickers come with everything, on bigger Appliances ( fridge/washingmashine) they are applied to the Item, Those have to be displayed on the Displaymodel in retail stores. This is the solution manufactures came up with for it.
I kind of like the idea of those USB heated gloves. I mean, I live in Finland in 80-100 year old wooden house, and it gets pretty chilly. I now use one of those lizard lamps to warm up my fingers 😂
Tried wrist warmers, then fingerless gloves, then full gloves, tried a heating pad under the keyboard... The lizard lamp is the first one that actually works. Highly recommended, but make double sure that the light fixture can take the heat. These days most of them are made for LED or low wattage bulbs.
Something tells me those heated gloves and a hundred year old wooden house wouldn't exactly be a match, pardon the pun, made in heaven.
Why buy heated gloves when you can buy an Intel 14900K and heat your entire house?
Should look in to an infrared heater.warms you, but not so much the stuff it's not directed at. or, if ascetics don't matter, just put your computer on the desk with the back pointing toward your keyboard/mouse.
The heated gloves powered by a large power bank would be perfect while attending an American football game on a cold snowy day.
For the cheeto chopstick things, I heard things like that are actually really popular in Asian markets, and lots of chip bags come pre packaged with little finger gloves to serve a similar purpose.
9:55 Adam makes these vids. Just wailing on his boss. He's great.
I love the chaotic vibe in this one
This is one of the funniest LTT videos I've seen in a long time.
The jokes are really on spot!
Adam's death grips hoodie is sick, I might have to get one
Why the f didn't they bring them to EU on tour maaaaaaaaaaaaan
I don't comment on videos, but the hoodie compelled me.
Gotta agree, very noided
Honestly was stuck trying to figure out if it said Death Grips or Tech Tips lol
linus death grips
Homie repping the death grips drip
9:14 that sticker is for exposing in stores. when someone enters in an electronics store and wants to see that "energy consumption rate sh*t", the customer service guy doesnt need to bring the box from the back, he just puts that sticker on the edge of the monitor.
these finger gloves are for mobile rhythm games such as Arcea to reduce friction and actually quite useful
I remember picking up some fun little toys and gimmicks from Whish early in its lifespan. but nothing over 10$. I'm honestly shocked af how expensive these items are! Quality and value aside, I did not expect to see anything priced at that level
its cause theyre in loads of debt and their revenue has dropped like a shit ton since 2018.
I thought the same thing. Some little gimmicks were okay, but for 70$ you can get a very decent keyboard mouse combo not from wish.
Ik I can find stuff cheaper even on Amazon
For real! I saw a good amount of on brand mech keyboards & mice on Newegg for only $25-$50 and 120hz displays for like $100, how is wish this expensive for all this e waste 😂
@@hythere I think it's a brand-identity thing and videos like these kind of play into it. Wish is manifested as "Get stuff very cheap, quality aside" platform and I assume a lot of people just look for stuff on Wish without questioning if its actually the cheapest and best deal, simply because they assume nobody is going to do it cheaper than Wish.
Love the new editing style 🔥🔥
2:52 good one
"ethically ambiguous retailer" .... kudos to the writers on that one
You seriously need to make a playlist of all your "all-X" setups, they're really interesting!
i got the mouse as part of a bundle (exact same keyboard and mouse but both were wireless) as a christmas present and it really did last half a year. but the bettery lasts just about as long as the buttons which wore out very fast
So I was going to say How can they make this video format interesting again after like the 5th time, but they did just that and who ever bought the stuff went hard and unique in a way that isnt normal and that made for a fun and interesting video!
Now we need an “ALL TEMU Gaming Setup”
This is a top notch episode, excellent editing and the co-host was clever AF and quick on his feet to fire back. Loved it, hilarious!
I got those snack sticks at 18:00 for Christmas and I thought they were the dumbest thing. I've since used them very often, it's actually really nice being able to snack without getting your hands dirty
Just use chopsticks like a cultured person.
@@Eagle3302PLno :) chopsticks are longer and heavier
The sticker is for store display. Normally all electronics (not portable stuff) in the eu comes with it.
14:26 that australian joke was 10/10
I would love to see a new version of this video where you guys actually try to get a genuinely nice setup for the least amount of money. Just by using common sense when ordering the products and avoiding obvious scams.
Funniest themed build video in a while. I think Adam is hitting his stride, and Linus and his on screen chemistry seems to be working better than in older videos. That or I’m just getting used to it 😂
18:20 maybe next time instead of pixelated, you can add sad Linus over shirtless Linus
The finger gloves are for rhythm gaming on phones, tablets and acrade machines with touch screens so you slide better!
i would love to see you disassemble all those wish conponents to see what they used to build them.
These three are the best trio 😭 never laughed so hard at an LTT video
14:36 this is such a great feature i hope more brands do this so us aussies don't have to be left out because we are upsidedown
The Monitor energy efficiency sticker is probably for display units.
In tech stores over here in Germany, display unit monitors and tv's (and other electronical devices like fridges, washing machines, etc) have their energy rating stickered onto them with a similar looking and sized sticker.
Same in Brazil, we see these in display units in stores as we adopted the EU rating system under the 'selo Procel', but normally this comes in the box with the sticker already applied in the product. The last thing I remember buying was my Panasonic fridge and I bought it online and it came with the sticker already applied. Perhaps wish (or more realistically, the factory in China) simply didn't bother putting the sticker :D
As an Aussie, do other places not have that??
It seems like NA doesn't @@ArensVT
hab mal bei Saturn gearbeitet, es ist tatsächlich gesetzlich vorgeschrieben, dass das Energielabel dran sein muss, sonst kann man harte Geldstrafen bekommen. Also wenn du einem Markt mal so richtig eins auswischen willst, weißte wo du anfangen kannst :D
18:54 Aren't you supposed to decrease your reaction time? Why would anyone want to increase it?
the mousepad shows time zones, the different colors are the time zones around the world (if you look on the bottom it shows the time zones )
There are certain combos on this channel that I always look forward to:
- Linus and Alex working with jank.
- Linus, David, and Emily doing retro stuff.
- Linus and Adam roasting eachother for 20 straight minutes.
I think the desk pad is showing time zones. I don't know why, but that's what the color bands are
I know laptop reviews are uncommon but it would be cool to see you guys get a couple "mobile workstations" at different price points and compare them to a desktop version and a gaming laptop.
5:05 im not sure if theyre refrencing what im thinking about
Adam was super funny this video. I always love a bit of banter and trolling between the hosts
14:55 The controller dongle looks exactly like the one from Microsoft's Xbox One Controller for Windows, first generation. The later version got a lot smaller though.
I feel like I've seen that exactly dongle many times in the past years with various stuff.
The sticker is for displaying the product in stores, so that customers can see the power rating. Thank you for the work you do!
11:00, “blacks are barely black”-Linus 2023
took me out lol
The sticker is (or was, realistically) for retail shops to put it on the monitor in their showroom. I've not seen this actually done for years though.
That "deluxe dongle" looks like an original Microsoft PC Xbox controller adapter I have one and it works do much better than the new version
I’ve actually got that mouse, I’ve had it for more than 4 years and it still works great, somehow… the battery doesn’t last half a year but around 1-2 months. I mainly like it for its low button press and silent clicks.
Those EU stickers are for offices and landlords. If you put the sticker on when you buy, it’s way easier to track your power efficiency ratings, which comes in handy when you need to work out power costs or need to get a rental property rated for power efficiency (which is a requirement for many furnished rentals either legally or by the agencies/advertising boards).
It’s a huge waste of paper when selling direct to consumers, but it comes in mighty handy for business use
17:52 - I use regular chopsticks, so I can say that this thing could be actually useful. You can eat snacks without making your mouse and keyboard gross.
8:40 This seems to be the new Energy rating table, where A+ is now around E, so F was A which is not that bad for screens.
So... are there any monitors actually had an A rating? Or was it reserved for future monitor technologies from space aliens after we invented cold fusion?
I actually have this exact AJAZZ Keyboard. I've been using it for several years now and I'm still happy with it. It would have been really interesting to hear what Linus has to say about it though.
Ajazz keyboards are kinda cool tbh
Same
8:40 To be fair, an F or E rating is pretty standard for monitors. All electric devices like monitors, fridges or washing machines have to have these labels in the EU.
I think that a Shein gaming setup would be pretty interesting lol
I actually own two Ajazz AK33 keyboards, one for home,, one for the office. They are actually surprisingly nice for the price, although I got mine years ago when they still shipped with mini USB. Also, the Ajazz has an individually addressable RGB option for $35 or a single color one for a bit less.
agreed. I use them as well. They gotta do more research before making fun of certain products like that.
@@mamuteddymad What do you mean they need to do more research they litterally have the product at hand, maybe it was a fake but still they were talking about the specific keyboard they had
@@abacus7087 they actually didn't use the ajazz one. They used the meme keyboard mouse pack.
Ajazz is a reputable brand and got many good budget keyboards for people like me who can't afford more expensive ones. they should've not treated it as a joke. Should've mentioned that it was fairly good for the price. as well, mentioned other products available form the ajazz brand that are actually dope on a budget.
if you go through the comments you can see so many people have the same opinion on this brand as well. so if they did the slightest market research they would've known ajazz is not just another no name Chinese meme OEM brand.
That being said, it's just my opinion and I don't need to explain it as I just did. You can disagree with it. but at what point did you feel like ltt needs defending over my sub-comment that they won't ever see or know it existed even. they making videos and making money and this comment is nonexistent to them. Their growth doesn't effect your life in any way. you not robinhood buds. Just share your opinion and move on. life is too short to have dumb debates in UA-cam comments. you wasting your time. you not even an ltt employee. Niether they would ever care about my comment nor yours. You gain nothing from White Knighting them except losing some precious time.
Amazon has way better offerings than that for cheaper.
@@ginco_bnz that is probably true, where you're from. Amazon products are extremely overpriced where I live.
The little keychain controller isn't a bad thing sorta. It's nice with old retro emulation, like nes, gb, etc. Not very big, easily carried, etc. I use to have one and used with phone to play emulators as on screen controls are just meh. But that was before I just ended up getting a 8Bitdo Zero 2 and then their micro as it's basically the zero 2 but also with r2/l2 instead of just r1/l1 buttons. They are a bit bigger but they're tons better and I use them to play all the way up to ps1 emulation instead of being stuck with lowers due to lack of good way to us shoulder buttons/lack of l2/r2.
The 8bitdo micro might be a bit bigger but the additional buttons and being well a 8bitdo it's tons better. Even so, it's still easily carried around without taking up much space.
Yes, those reload bonuses can be a lifesaver, especially when you hit a rough patch. Helps to keep playing without breaking the bank
I actually purchased that mouse here in India as my first gaming mouse and it's pretty much working till date after 4 years with good dpi and battery back up, charges up in around 2-3 hours and goes on for around 12 hours without RGB and 8 hours approx with RGB. Only after I gave that mouse to my sister after 2 years of personal usage the left click is bit a miss half of the times. Yeah it's a dongle based mouse without Bluetooth connectivity and had pretty strong connection. Micro usb charge and an inbuilt usb dongle holder and a sick all white Design (same as in the video here but in shades of white & grey) all at around $8 which is really good 👍
The different colours on the desk pad were time zones!
Yes, with the cities being major cities in each time zone - that’s why Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Denver are specifically labeled…
Need a all shein setup
The Sticker is required in Stores and f isnt Bad for a Monitor Most have f to g i never saw one higher than e
18:00 those are meant to be "mounted" on your index and middle finger so you can keep holding your controller or mouse while still having them holding food.
I'm sure the electric mittens are for colder environments such that the heat will be dissipated faster than it could possibly burn you and you should be sensitive enough to know when to take them off if it ceases to be cold around you.
17:21 Gato 🐱
At 5:35 Colton was no longer the only one getting fired that day.
I have the AJazz keyboard that I bought from Aliexpress like 2 or 3 years ago, and it's the one entering level for mechanic keyboards im satisfied with. I Got the cable in package and no problem with any button places. The 75% key layouts and RGB quality is insanely great. SO bad that Linus changed it and didnt pay too much attention to it...
I second that. Used mine for almost 3 years, till the switch to Akko. With 3rd party double pbt keycaps, ajazz is a really good-looking and functioning mechanical keyboard with actually good switches, and what's really good is that it doesn't need crappy soft to configure rgb. The only drawback is the old mini-usb cable ...and maybe "ringy" (rattling) base, which can be solved with some muffling
The newer Ajazz AK-33 boards are USB-C, but it's a complete lottery which you get sent.
They're actually pretty decent mechanical keyboards for the price. It's been my go to "chuck in bag" board for the last 6 years or so. I would also add that the older high gloss keys have substantially nicer lettering than the newer matte keys but oh well.
I'll say that after several years, no reliability issues and it's decent enough to type and game on.
The guy with Linus is genuinely charismatic and funny. Im not used to this from a linus video.
Linus throwing one of those neutropics into his mouth from so high up emanates dedication on a whole new level.
The genius brand actually has pretty good non stim pre workout. What the heck any of their products are doing ok wish is beyond me.
The editing on this was gold lmao, 13:16 I’m actually dying 💀💀💀
we need an all wish Linus tech tips staff
9:12 it's for the shops, when they display the monitor the shop put the stiker in the screen, with that the consumer can see the energy ratings, the size, the consumtion of energy and in the QR you can see all the extra info in more details. All the big electronics have that sticker with the product.
Credit card holder isn’t useless, Genshin players will get some mileage out of that
0:07 already offended. i got this keyboard. in case anybody was wondering. DON'T buy it. its bad. the display dial sucks. it only accepts inputs at a very slow rate maybe like 1sec. there is nothing good i can say about this keyboard. well maybe that ic an have my num block on the left side which i like for hotkeys but thats it
17:04 ironically a decent figure eight lol
One of the funniest videos you gotta have posted in a long time. I could not stop laughing through the whole thing 😂
as an European electrician, I must say. We had around early 2023 a reform that changed all the energy ratings. As we were having newer and newer devices that required less and less power often getting rated with A+ ( up to A+++) was getting out of control. As to the old standard, a conventional light bulb with 60W was considered to be around F/G., and an LED counterpart with 4.7W was considered A+. After the reform, the LED one was ranked down to F meaning that monitor by the fact that the rating is shown up to A instead of the old A+++ being the best, is not as bad as it seems
It seems like the editors are having more fun lately. Actually, it seems like everyone (on camera) is having more fun.
20:55 "I wonder how the mic quality is?"
This would actually be a fantastic video. Pickup a load of cheap headsets and see how well NVIDIA's RTX Voice software can improve it. Can free software improve junk microphones, or even beat highend ones when talking on multiplayer game services? No one wants to hear 12v fans in the background of someone smack talking, you don't want to be that noob do you?
