@@TalesOfWar but an led is “useless”, because it is almost always software based. you could disable it by hacking which is probably something an hacker would want to do if they where to actually bother with hacking your camera. This would be straight up impossible if it would be hardwired, so that if the camera would get power, the led would also turn on. Now that doesn’t mean you need to be afraid since to hack an camera you need more than a sketchy website with an virus. You need to individually target an person. This makes it extremely unlikely you get your camera hacked if you aren’t an famous person or have messed with some criminal. There wouldn’t be any reason to target specifically you when they would rather spend their time on someone more valuable.

I have a Lenovo laptop, much like Tommi mentioned above. It has an LED indicator, but there is also a physical slider built into the bezel. No electronics involved, just a bit of red plastic that slides in and out of the way of the camera. It's one of those simple-but-genius solutions that I will absolutely be looking for in all future purchases.

I really hope nobody thinks that thing will actually provide any extra cooling.

Nothing increases longevity as much as a hot temps caused by bad airflow which itself is cause by dust, which you have because you bought a 65 db thing that sucks in dust into every hole in your laptop, even when it´s idling. At the start the 3 degrees decreasment is easily replicated by giving your laptop more breathing room by putting it onto 2 lego blocks or undervolting.
@TristanSchaaf
@TristanSchaaf 3 жыл бұрын
This used to be the case. A long time ago. Bringing temps down might increase the output of the device. it will do pretty much nothing on the longevity. Modern devices just clock down when reaching a temp limit to stop them from damaging themselves. That all said, nothing in laptops is/should be designed to fail before the laptop is due to replacement because it's just to slow.

Can confirm this, the overheat is so stupid I have to get a fan to cool it down while transferring stuff and also you will have to take off phone cases or the usb drive will not fit on the type c port. Worst of all the retractable mechanism is badly designed so it would retract randomly when you are trying to plug it into usb port. 10/10 would not recommend.

One accessory I would recommend is the Logitech M720. It's a mouse that can connect to up to 3 devices with Bluetooth, or if you want you can use the USB wireless receiver for one of the connections. You can leave the receiver in your desktop at home for one of the connections, and connect it to your laptop with Bluetooth for the second connection, and maybe your PC at work, or your phone, with the third. It supports Logitech Flow, and it has a button on the side that can be programmed with Logitech Options to do functions and macros with a press, and with a press and drag forward, back, left, and right. It also has Logitech's Hyper-Fast Scrolling feature. I love this mouse and use it as my main mouse. Also, it is usually pretty affordable on Amazon.

In other words, would the air being pulled through the laptop cause that fan to try to spin faster than it's currently spinning? How would that impact the longevity of the fan? Or, would it simply reduce the resistance on the internal fans because something else is pulling air through the system? I'm very curious . . .

13:20 Powering the cooling fan with the laptop defeats the purpose. Youre adding the electrical load to your battery and USB circuitry. Most of the energy used by the fan isnt actually used at all; the fan is an inductive impedance load and so isnt actually consuming energy as heat but is instead reflecting energy back into the laptop. And all cooling devices are sub-unital in efficiency. Basically what Im saying is by plugging it into your laptop, the laptop heats up more than the fan can cool it. There is literally no point. Im not going to dispute your data.... but I would recommend conducting these tests again with the fan powered by a separate device, and seeing if that changes things.

Dont buy it, the flash drive heats up faster than a hand warmer when reading/ writing, also retractable mechanism is trash.

I was hoping convert my usb C port into usb A . I look for some online and computer shop. They cost nearly 1k to 700 rupees (nearly 10 to 15 us dollar.) Later I try out usb C otg for mobile which cost nearly 30 rupees (0.5 dollar). And it works fine and its also small too.

Hello, I have a question regarding Razer keycaps but even their support couldnt answer me 100% sure. I have a blackwidow orange UK-layout, can I use PBT keycaps used on the Huntsman or they won't fit ?

Wont fit, blackwidow bottom row is different to huntsman key layout. I was going to get hyperx pudding keycap until i realise this.

3:27​ - Sandisk Portable USB Drive: Worst product ever. Don't know about your stick, but mine is a PITA to insert because it will always slide when attempting to insert in tighter ports. It also gets really really hot while doing nothing. I just had it plugged in to my PC and when I unplugged it, I almost burned my fingers.

Imo, the best way to cool a laptop is by using a desk fan blowing across the area behind the keyboard. I use a Honeywell with high CFM, cheaper and likely much more effective than a gimmicky product. Also works no matter the style of laptop/notebook.

I like the original tiny DM USB-C adapters, they are these thin tiny things that slide into a male usb-a port without sticking out, essentially making it permanent USB-C device. Useful if your new USB-C only laptop is your main PC. They also have a one that fits around male usb-a connector, it sticks out, but way way less than normal usb-c to usb-a adaptors - useful when you pull it off the usb-a cable a lot, but want something small as well.

Some are ok, and some are something that are extremely common at the front of a register as extras. I would have kept the title as "Cool Laptop Accessories" As "never heard of" may be for someone that hasn't bought a laptop and is new to tech. Still useful to those starting off their adventure.

I have a thermaltake massive 20 RGB cooling pad and it brings temps on my MSI GE66 laptop down by about 9 degrees. It’s construction is pretty good. It makes it more comfortable to use my laptop. Especially with the feet out and putting my laptop at an angle towards me.

Regarding the wireless mice on a laptop: Never again without Bluetooth. No hassle with a receiver blocking a port or dragging around an additional USB hub to circumvent that. Nearly all laptops have Bluetooth built in, so why use another receiver?

Well a lot of people prefer the 2.4GHz over bluetooth cuz of low input lag.

Logitech sells mice that has both a 2.4ghz receiver and bluetooth. So it's kind of best of both worlds.

Bluetooth mice always are terribly slow, because bluetooth is terrible. That's why every good mouse uses a dongle.

Instead of buying the magnet stands and fans, use two plastic bottle caps you get from your mount dew. As long as your laptop is elevated you will increase air flow. If there are vents in the bottom. Don't waste your money on the usb vent and magnet stands.

You have to be careful with the USB-C adapters. There are some filtering/step-down electronics (a diode and a resistor, IIRC) that are frequently left out of cheaper adapters. The result can be damage to your electronics. There was a website/list maintained by Benson Leung of USB-C devices, but I haven’t needed to use it in some time. The Amazon Basics laptop stand is also pretty useful. It is also pretty inexpensive and has built-in cable management (of sorts).

My phone came with a 160Watt USB-C charger. I use that charger for everything. laptop, phone, tablet, Bluetooth speaker, AR glasses etc. because everything will charge with whatever the hardware will be able to draw! sometimes i even connect a USB-C hub and just charge a bunch of devices at the same time. My phone is the only device i have that will be able to draw the full 160 Watt
