@@techwithbenefits For so long I was trying to find your channel since youtube stopped recommending me your videos for some reason, and now I find you here lol.
Couldn’t agree more on the Peak Design bag. I fell for the praises the influencers gave but it’s pure garbage after using it for some weeks. Also had to the same thing happened to me with the lens rolling out when opening the side compartment. We need more videos like this from reviewers.
yuuuup. ive completely stopped listening to tech review factory channels reviews because they legit dont use the stuff enough/thoroughly so youre just getting like the same review you could have had with it if someone let you borrow it for 2 hours. Ive been burned too many times. I think the worst was a >200 dollar sennheiser headset that was completely rife with firmware issues from day one until when i stopped using it.
Hey sam, I just want to say thank you from Bangladesh. What you did for my country last year is truly appreciated, and I hope your channel grows more in the future so that you get the recognition you deserve. Love the content because you don't try to brag about what you did but always stay with your funny character and stay real in the videos. Once again, thanks. Hope you visit again so that we meet someday.
As a tech enthusiast and enjoyer, I hate buying things that have its own separate app. I wish there was just one app every company would agree on using.
we just like authenticity and it's naturally suspicious to hear people talk about how they like highly controversial multi-billion dollar companies so it doesn't feel authentic.
Why in the hell does everything need an App? That’s a rhetorical btw, it’s bullshit. You know it, I know it. For lots of things less is best. My Samsung fridge wouldn’t go to the lower temp on the freezer without setting up the app and setting it from there, even though there’s a button inside the door to adjust the temp. I installed the app set the temp to the special app exclusive temp setting, uninstalled the app, and changed the password my home network. Like to hell my refrigerator needs internet access through a Samsung app. To do what exactly? Monitor every time I open the door?
There are lot of tech videos but I don’t know exactly why I like your videos. I think the personality or amazing family you have got. I know I’m in state where I don’t think I could be influenced to buying anything but I still love to watch it. Take care and have fun.
From Bangladesh! I recently subscribed to your channel, and I just wanted to say how much I love your content! It never fails to keep me entertained. I'm especially glad that you highlighted an important issue in Bangladesh that often goes unnoticed. Your work is truly impactful. So happy to be a part of your community! Keep up the amazing work. God bless you!
I want to say: i love your wife and i guess all your family at this point. Super funny, genuine, feels like friends. Secondly: because of your review i bought lofree flow, as my laptop keyboard stopped working. Their support sucks-be aware. But this keyboard makes me sooooo happy. Even though i didn’t figure out how to connect it to ipad, i still enjoy it while working with laptop(lenovo). It feels good, reacts super quick, sounds amazing! I am soooo happy i bought it!
This is why I love watching you. No frills, stats, or fluff. Just consumer perspective of the product with average joe references. And the delivery of "it sucks balls" just really accentuates the hatred lmao.
The more you got into this video, the more and more Aussie this got and I am here for it! Love it mate! "The app is BALLS!... Put a bloody knob on here, ya knob!". I appreciate one of my Aussie bros raging.
A-MAZING. I could never understand the following with PD 🎒 for me it’s just heavy and the design just never did it for me. You’re the only UA-camr I’ve ever seen call out this bag🙌
13:14 , this has been addressed in One UI Watch 7 update , also the responsiveness has been addressed with the newer updates , for example just check the software on the Galaxy Watch 7 series
I got curious about your thoughts on the ember cup in one of your previous videos😂. And it's satisfying knowing your personal thoughts and laughing my head off throughout this whole video 😅. I love your originality and humorous commentary. And thank you for your cause and the work you do in the countries you visit. 🙏🏽
I agree with you on the Peak Design bag. It’s 100% form over function. I traveled with mine and it was my primary driver for about a year and I have the same complaints.
This vid was awesome. Yes content creators, tell me your truths about the products, unfiltered. Love your mission, too. New subscriber here. Much love brother.
Love this video. I like to know what people dislike as much as I like to see what they like. Especially love hating on stuff that is wildly overpriced for what it is. And I love your energy. Sucks balls indeed mate! Keep on keeping on.
Man that Peak design bag is absolutely awful, I had to cut a 6 minute long rant about how much I hate it in my video about essential camera accessories because I felt it was a bit much but its so good to see someone else agree the design totally SUCKS.
the PD bag has to be my all-time favorite backpack, the problems you're having are coming from buying it as a camera backpack. it's an "every day", hence the name, bag with features that can accommodate tech and camera gear, not a pro's gear bag. from PD their cubed travel bags are more in line with what you would be looking for (but WAAAAAY more expensive) or just any other dedicated camera bag. for a bag that can lug a laptop, lunch, books and other stuff the PD bag is absolutely awesome, more of a student or commuter's gadget though...
I thought i was gonna hate you, love the video I gotta check out more of your stuff! Love the content! Love the editing! Love the comedy! Keep it up bruv!
I need these types of videos to stop me constantly wanting to buy useless desk shite. There are so many products that are just pure trash, and they need to be told they are trash.
Just found you today. Super easy subscribe, apart from your exceptional production quality, I love your honesty, humour and facial expressions 😂. Your delightful wife and ‘fat babies’ are a total bonus 🎉
I've been using the peak design bag for about 5 years and still love it! I can see how, for your use case, it might be annoying, but it's been an awesome product for me. Great vid! Just wanted to go down to the comments and shill for peak design because I love there products so much lol
Hahahaha absolutely love the video! And if you really need to get rid of your crap stuff, you're more than welcome to send it my way. Needs to be shipped a long way though, as I live in the Netherlands. Which is awesome on his own right as I've subscribed a while back. That's how far you reach mate. Epic, right? You guys rock...
And when the battery dies or firmware bricks it'll just be e-waste. Ember don't offer replacement batteries and goes as far as to say it cannot be opened (it can). Horrible company.
Man this guy really know his stuff. How he react, how he complain. When i look at his videos, feels like he know what people gonna think and talk about it hahahahaha. You are doing great job sir, hope your channel getting big asap. Stay healthy to you and your families! 🎉🎉
He knew his opinion of the Ember mug was a controversial take. I'm in the "it's one of my favorite tech products" camp, but I can see how annoying it could be needing to resync as you continually switch devices. Perhaps use one of your old phones as the "Ember mug phone"?
Clickty clacky mechanical keyboards give me the shits. Listening to people typing in videos gives me the shits. Literally everything about the mechanical keyboard market gives me the shits. I think it's the most overhyped product segment in consumer tech. There. I said it. Feels good.
Have to agree with other comment about the Ember mug. Works fine on iphone, set it up 10 months ago and never needed to open it again. Wouldnt be without the mug. Ideal if you only like your drinks hot.
I've been using samsung watch for a long time but recently bought pixel watch 3. It made me realize just how bad the Samsung watches were. It's extremely responsive, lasts almost 3 days and its super comfortable. I'd highly recommend trying it. Anyway, new to the channel but your videos are really good so I will sub!
The best camera backpack I bought was some random one on Amazon, nearly 9 years ago, 40 bucks. Not fancy, looks like a normal backpack, and holds what I need. Had to throw it away after it started getting holes and fraying after years of use.
I would never buy an ember cup for myself just because the price is ridiculous...but I was given one as a gift. I just leave the tempurature setting the same and don't change it, so I never use the app 😂. The cup keeps my coffee at a perfect temp and tasting great the whole time I am drinking coffee and for that I love it. But it's not $200 worth of enjoyment and you could get a similar effect with an insulated cup with a lid. I use it everyday and like it, but I still wouldn't buy one for myself.
That coffee cup reminds me of a light I bought and hate. I remember once I was out shopping and saw a camera light on clearance. I think it's a camera light? Those big rectangle lights ya can use for product photography. It's like 6 by 10 inches. i Anyways, I got it on clearance for 5 dollars, marked down from like 50. So felt like a bargain. But holy molly have I never hated something so much. So first of all, it's not wireless at all. It has a long non-detachable cable. You plug it in and it works (in theory). For it to work in practice. You plug it in. Download an app, and then use that app to turn it on. And then you also use the app to control the brightness and the color of the light. So there's features. But you literally cannot use this light without the app. And it just blows my mind that it can't just work by plugging it in. And you can't configure it to be on, and then unplug it. Everytime you unplug it it automatically resets to the off position and must be turned on through the app. Now for 5 bucks, I felt like it was an ok product photography like, but I really need to just bite the bullet and buy a decent one. Because one day I'm gonna lose the app or it'll stop being updated and then my light is complete garbo. Makes sense why it was on clearance.
Had this video come up as a recommendation. After started watching I thought, hang on is this a fellow Aussie, sounds like one, talks like one. Rare to see an aussie tech review channel. And I liked your honest reviews in this vid, added your channel to my tech subs.
I back you on the bag! I daily the peak design backpack as my laptop and work bag. It doesn't suit me , just suck like you said when you want to access the items in the bag. I moved from Wandrd Duo previously, the bag is great but capacity is small hence I grabbed the PD 30L and it sucked.
PLEASE make this a series it's so refreshing to see a creator with such a gift for expression tell us how these products suck nuts. Love it!!
Steve Jobs keyboard testing took me out 🤣
Haha hey that's me!
@@techwithbenefits For so long I was trying to find your channel since youtube stopped recommending me your videos for some reason, and now I find you here lol.
hahahaha it made me laugh so loud
I laughed so hard. Better than Chinese Elon who apparently uses an AI filter.
It’s so refreshing to see a genuine opinion on UA-cam again without a sponsor. Especially in tech

That not how capitalism work bro. The company end goal is to monopoly the market. Not doing relationship who make the consumer most win
Agreed, you just know those apps will be abandoned after a year and now the ‘smart AI banana’ or whatever you bought is just e-waste
Agreed, you just know those apps will be abandoned after a year and now the ‘smart AI banana’ or whatever you bought is just e-waste
Why is it so much better to watch someone hate on something? guys we are messed up fr
We are cooked
Because when someone like something its probably sponsored
we just like authenticity and it's naturally suspicious to hear people talk about how they like highly controversial multi-billion dollar companies so it doesn't feel authentic.
because the majority of goods are actual garbage, so this feels authentic.
because hate (or dislike) is true and unpaid.
Indian Steve Jobs was something I wasn't expecting
Wanted to skip the “ad”-part. Fortunately I didn’t. Made my day!
Always love it, when you refer to them as “the fat babies” 😂❤️
The ember mug might be my favourite piece of tech. I set the temperature on the app when I first set up the mug. Then I never used the app again.
stopped working for me. asks me to set up. I try and it won't. Then it starts working for a few weeks, then stops again. hate this app 😂
What model is your mug? Planning to buy one but there's lots
@@thesamuelnamI heard the app was absolute booty cheeks but once the temp was set up it was good.
As I work from home, this mug is magic.
Probably two completely separate departments working on this product 💀💀😂 @@thesamuelnam

You are spot on with your sentiment. Especially regarding the PD Backpack and Ember mug…
love the sense of humor!! Keep up the good work mate!!
man i love your energy , it feels kinda refreshing ngl
The wife describing Nothing Ear 😂😂
Wooshoo Wooshoo
I just cant describe how much in LOVE I am with this channel! So refreshing, so different !!! Cheers man! Thanks for the content !!! ❤❤❤
Favorite tech review channel by far. 🙏🤘 Also, with the sound that spacebar makes - i’m convinced that keyboard was designed by deaf people 😑
Having Mr. Nam "review" the Flow Lite was the content i needed today
We NEED more tech videos like this! Loved it
Officially, you're now my new fav tech reviewer. Greatly appreciated Mr. Chow
I want to say: i love your wife and i guess all your family at this point. Super funny, genuine, feels like friends.
Secondly: because of your review i bought lofree flow, as my laptop keyboard stopped working. Their support sucks-be aware. But this keyboard makes me sooooo happy. Even though i didn’t figure out how to connect it to ipad, i still enjoy it while working with laptop(lenovo). It feels good, reacts super quick, sounds amazing! I am soooo happy i bought it!

I almost won that Ember cup at an auction. Now I have a $8.00 plug in candle warmer that keeps my coffee hot all day without an app. 👍
A-MAZING. I could never understand the following with PD 🎒 for me it’s just heavy and the design just never did it for me. You’re the only UA-camr I’ve ever seen call out this bag🙌

Really like the transparent and genuine reviews, mate
Been watching for 5 months. I'm glad to see how far you've come 🤗
Love this video. I like to know what people dislike as much as I like to see what they like. Especially love hating on stuff that is wildly overpriced for what it is. And I love your energy. Sucks balls indeed mate! Keep on keeping on.
As for #1
Nooooooo, reaaaaallly? The bag recommended from the same guy that recommends iPhones? Whooo wouuullld haaaave THOUGHT
Brooo the Steve Jobs cameo being the Samsung guy must be one of the best jokes I've seen, and most people will not get it. Amazing video as always
Found the channel recently, absolutely love the content. Keep it up
Brilliant idea. I think this kind of videos should be made monthly !
Or weekly. I'm sure there is enough content.
There’s an Ember alternative at Walmart. No app. Controls on the cup. $110 less than an Ember.
i love calling out products on their bs.
add alternatives or improvements for design would be good for everyone
keyboard sounds ass but at least it looks semi decent, wouldnt mind having it
finally some spice to the tech community. Let's learn from cooking and movie reviews, they don't fear roasting thing they hate
The UA-cam channel with honest reviews that the world needed!
Love these videos. Last seconds of this one was awesome.
I'm not in the market for anything you review (except 1 or 2 things) but i'll watch anything that you produce. Cheers!
Man that Peak design bag is absolutely awful, I had to cut a 6 minute long rant about how much I hate it in my video about essential camera accessories because I felt it was a bit much but its so good to see someone else agree the design totally SUCKS.
You are super entertaining. Keep up the good work!
Sam, I don't know who you are but your videos ABSOLUTELY make my days! Looking forward to more videos like this! xD

Probably the only tech video i never skip. 😂
Come back to Bangladesh! Visit us again.
Love from Dhaka, Bangladesh.
I was scared he was gonna say something about the holyland case or the fujifilm camera. Love the content though!
For a cup heater I use a $10 candle warmer- awesome!
Bro....thank you so much for the Peak Design hate I HAAATE mine and everyone keeps acting like im crazy. Its awful
Man, the ember mug is one of the products I regretted not purchasing sooner. I’ve not had any issues, but I’ve set the temperature and left it alone
And when the battery dies or firmware bricks it'll just be e-waste. Ember don't offer replacement batteries and goes as far as to say it cannot be opened (it can). Horrible company.
@@nickthaskater I mean it’s still a mug, so I can still drink out of it if that happens….
@@cupaj0e245 not a great idea if the battery balloons, but yes, in general, it's still a mug.
Man this guy really know his stuff. How he react, how he complain.
When i look at his videos, feels like he know what people gonna think and talk about it hahahahaha. You are doing great job sir, hope your channel getting big asap.
Stay healthy to you and your families! 🎉🎉
Yes, make this a series. And give me the keyboard. I love crap. I listen to Crap From The Past (KFAI radio, Minneapolis, MN).
I love his every video , btw if for the keyboard and every product , either u can sell it or give it to someone in need
I love this ! I love this ! Do one every year !!

ooft. blew my mind. yes. I'll keep one device as the ember device.
but yeah, was my favourite thing till recently.
More videos like this please 😂 there’s so many hyped stuff on UA-cam that it’s really really stupid in real life (like orbitkey)
Clickty clacky mechanical keyboards give me the shits. Listening to people typing in videos gives me the shits. Literally everything about the mechanical keyboard market gives me the shits. I think it's the most overhyped product segment in consumer tech. There. I said it. Feels good.

Honestly. That peak design bag. Yeah. Total rip off 😂
Loved the energy and honesty.
You should continue with this series 😂
The best camera backpack I bought was some random one on Amazon, nearly 9 years ago, 40 bucks. Not fancy, looks like a normal backpack, and holds what I need. Had to throw it away after it started getting holes and fraying after years of use.
Also about the white Ember cup…it’ll stain and you’ll never have a clean looking mug again.
Try some bleach (Clorox or Oxiclean) and it will come back like new
Dude I love your content and energy! Liked and commented!
The Steve Jobs killed me! hahahahah fun video, I loved it!
Returned the pd bag. It looks great but in use it really sucks. Bag with a traditional camera cube is the way to go
I would never buy an ember cup for myself just because the price is ridiculous...but I was given one as a gift. I just leave the tempurature setting the same and don't change it, so I never use the app 😂. The cup keeps my coffee at a perfect temp and tasting great the whole time I am drinking coffee and for that I love it. But it's not $200 worth of enjoyment and you could get a similar effect with an insulated cup with a lid. I use it everyday and like it, but I still wouldn't buy one for myself.
Sam!! You’re the absolute best!!!!
I will tune in for every episode of this series.
This needs to be a series yesterday 😂
Please make this a series
Yeah you need to do more of these
I refuse to buy stuff that don't work without an app because it takes a single bad update to make it unusable.
Yep. I literally threw it out in the bin. Was just a heavy ass mug for no reason.
That coffee cup reminds me of a light I bought and hate.

For the ember mug, I used to have the 1st gen travel mug, and I think the 2nd gen product have control on the mug now.😂
I back you on the bag! I daily the peak design backpack as my laptop and work bag. It doesn't suit me , just suck like you said when you want to access the items in the bag. I moved from Wandrd Duo previously, the bag is great but capacity is small hence I grabbed the PD 30L and it sucked.
Damn, that's the most savage review on the backpack or a product, gave it to someone, and they returned it because it sucked ass.
