Yes, "Alex and Linus DIY a sponsor's product" is _definitely_ a series that needs to exist! And tbh, a sponsor must _love_ how much it shows off the quality of their product design process when you see the difference between what their product can do and what these two can cook up

[@-_JayR_-]

It's also good for the sponsors in a sense to showcase some of what goes into actually making said product. Often times people think a product is simple, and fail to realize what truly goes into making the product.

[@namAehT]

100% behind this idea. Not only do we get to watch them do dumb shit, but the sponsor also gets to prove all of those "I bet I could DIY this for half the cost" dudes wrong. Plus, if they *actually* manage to DIY it for half the cost then the sponsor just paid to advertise that fact lol.

[@vocassen]

@@-_JayR_- Except they should pick their sponsors more carefully. They charge 17-27€ a month extra ontop of the enormous price of the bed for a stupid subscription. Should immediately blacklist them as a sponsor IMO

[@thaddeusk]

@@vocassen It doesn't become unusable if you let the subscription expire or the company shuts down, but it does lose a lot of features.

@@thaddeusk It is still part of the price and they hide it. The reason they are doing that also includes preying on those that forget they have it.

They tick all the boxes of being a malicious company.

Me and my back had never been that cool during the summer when it was scorching hot in the room. A year later I made my worn AC for the room from scratch and It had way more power than I needed since it became even too cold in the room but worked really well. And it was no doubt the first that used R290 as the refrigerator gas (really LPG) since that was not really use back than commercially but is today.

With the chiller, you can put refrigeration units on their sides, main thing though is that you need to let it sit upright for a long time (I would just let it sit overnight to be safe) to let all the mineral oil settle back to the bottom of the system.

[@realBSP3]

Doesn't have to feel cold. The foam absorbs the heat, and the tubing will carry it away whether it's touching you or not. You're laying there a long time. You can put it as far back as you want, or even run it through the mattress. It'll still work with the right flow. Similar systems are sold pre-built. I'll be getting or making one when I pick up a new mattress soon. Simple sensors in the topper are enough to have a machine keep the bed at a desired temperature. Quite a bit of this stuff is just available at aquarium shops; sensors and all.

Mind you this was an innocent person who didn't go to prison or even end up going to trial. Everything in his house hooked to the internet was used to gather evidence. Calling it gathering evidence though is wrong. It was just data until someone suspected him of something he didn't do then it all became available to use against him. Though honestly it was the spying that saved him. The funny thing is all the spying can interfere with other spying really easy. They don't get to test it all that well for errors caused by multiple spying going on.

I love how unprepared Alex's scripts are. It makes for a very entertaining video. Although I imagine it's frustrating for his boss at a very corporate company expecting a certain level of performance from their employees. I feel like Alex reminds LMG that they are a KZbin channel, not a corporate conglomerate. Good job Alex! Keep up the great work... Or I guess... the sub par work... We love it!

[@spotandjake1008]

[@theonemueller]

Just for insights regarding the "dirt": That yellow-ish stuff between the layers of the DIY topper is probably not dirt. My father is a craftsman and he uses industrial glue (the strong smelling one lol) to glue different kind of textiles, but majorly furniture grade foams, together. That glue is somewhat yellow-green and turns darker yellow when drying, what makes it look like dirt/stain/whatever. Usually though, this gets hidden by leather and/or other materials and therefor doesn't matter in most cases. Also the smell disappears completely when exposed to air for a longer period of time which makes it even more seem like dirt.

[@tobiwonkanogy2975]

i agree , it would not been seen under a bedsheet so its not controlled for. not dirty though just not bright looking.

[@AmKhaibitu]

Yay for contact adhesive!

[@alexanderclark6889]

Oh there was actual brown dirt in the middle of it too, definitely not all adhesive 🤮

[@CoolSilver]

Some adhesives melt the foam a little too. Usually if it is spray applied.

[@smsmuller]

Just saying, you should do a video on that Quick 220 tool. They are great for beginning EV setups, for like $20 you can get the 220v end for a Tesla mobile connector, and this is an easy way to approximately double your charging speed for only about $120 in total. I used it for 2 years and loved it.

[@jarheadcollector4560]

In the future, when cutting foam, use an electric filet/carving knife. I used to build foam headliners and thats what we used. It's like cutting butter.

[@stang10189]

Subscription monthly for my bed? $25 a month is crazy for an app on my bed. Also, it is kind of creepy to have all the information from my sleep habits stored on some database. I'm sure with the sensors their able to tell everything that happens in the bed. More importantly, why do I need a subscription for my bed? I was actually going to purchase one of these until it said the app was mandatory for the first year. They need to change that. I'm sure there's a lot of people like myself who would benefit from a product like this, were ready to purchase, and stopped because of the monthly fee and privacy concerns.

[@HagobSaldaldianSmeik]

you can bet it stops working when you dont extend the "membeship" after the first year. because its so easy to restrict: no membership extension = no log in profile = no log in = no turning on of that fucking abomination of an overpriced cooling mattress. i send Eight Sleep an email and asked what would happen if i dont extend the mebership after a year. lets see if they even answer my mail. i bet they wont, because it would be a fucking scam to have this overpriced shit being useless after a year. the idea alone is beyond insane! i must be in a simulation...a BAD one!

linus and alex: "we could do it better" eight sleep: "we've seen your videos"

[@icehawk3442]

TEC modules can be powered to specific custom power draw with the right control interface. Their efficiency is dictated very significantly by the delta T between hot and cold side, so running multiple TECs under their maximum power limits is much more efficient than running a single unit at max. This is why some applications use TECs to good effect--they have sufficiently sophisticated control loops to ensure it is not left to run at maximum all the time.

[@PurpleKnightmare]

When the foam is compressed, it insolates less. Also, I do this with my waterbed... No pump needed. I do have a mattress cover like that.

It might be, but so are other competitors products - and those do not require a 17-27€ monthly subscription to use your bed cooling. Another commentor recommended ChilliSleep and they are even half as cheap as the sponsor's base price

They were ridiculously overcomplicating the installation in the foam. Should we cut it with a razor blade for clean precise cut? Nah let's burn through it with a hot rod instead because I'd like a little char on my mattress topper. Should we use hot glue or silicone nah let's use a 2 part mixture that's not even capable of mixing when the layers of foam are together. 😆
