As a postal worker, it's super interesting when fad junk retail outlets like Wish and Temu arrive on scene. All of a sudden, hundreds of orange parcels just arrive one day and you're left thinking "Where the heck is all this coming from..." Temu is far better than Wish on the logistical side of things though in that their labels actually have legitimate tracking numbers and somewhat accurate street addressing. Wish is probably universally hated by postal clerks as it was not uncommon for us to regularly spend hours manually searching for correct street addressing information because their parcels almost never had proper tracking information. Often, it pretty much came down to "Hey mail carrier, do you recognize this name at any of your stops on the route?"

Mail and packages from countries that don't have this status are paid for by the sender and money goes from the sending country's postal services and splits with the ones delivering them. Due to China's developing status, this doesn't happen. Meaning postal services basically deliver all these packages for free, which is actually a very big issue as these completely flood them. Search it up if you want a more correct explanation, was a while since I read it up. But I've worked as a postal worker, and the amount of packages from the different Chinese sites take up a lot of time.

Super happy to see a CRI measurement for those lights, I was legitimately wondering how they would perform when Linus first unpacked them.

[@NotPicturesMemories]

I'd have liked them to have given the meter a proper intro in the video though, rather than just on screen text explaining good vs bad. Especially considering one of the things mentioned in the video in terms of moving forward was about reducing the reliance of on screen text based corrections. It would have been so easy to get a member of the team to look up what the Sekonic light meter is, what it does and what's considered good vs bad. For example, the fact that Linus says "So now I just go like this...?" and Andy's response is "I guess so", it just makes me trust you even less. If you're going to bring out a measurement device, make sure at least one person knows how to use it. If Linus doesn't know that's not terrible, provided we see on screen someone correcting Linus saying something like "So, to measure these lights you need to point the meter towards the LED lights and press this button." Just that would have given me more confidence. I know this video is just for entertainment; but come on guys and gals, if you say you're going to do better, please prove it.

[@NoHope_]

@@NotPicturesMemories the measurement was just for fun, they never showed anything on screen and never claimed it was a super accurate read. youre looking way too hard into something that doesnt need to be looked at. Also they was no comment an less reliance on text edits, just that for important things they would do more re shoots. this was not important.

​@@NotPicturesMemories stop being pedantic... This wasn't an on screen correction. So you're misconstruing their pledge to push your agenda... And let's talk about your agenda...

Wouldn't be surprised if the webcam is the same thing, enough searching around and you'll likely find it's the same design as some old webcam from a bigger manufacturer.

To be fair; a proper seizure warning would show when the content that is likely to induce those with photosensitive epilepsy comes to an end instead of just saying seizure warning.

[@demikus]

@@TheFatVeganOne But it did...They had a visual pop-up with a timer leading up to the start and it said there would be an audible chime when it was past the potential harmful content... There was an audible chime when they got it to stop flashing around 18:55. So yes it was a proper seizure warning, having a visual indication of it coming to the end... would be counterintuitive to a VISUAL issue ya know?

[@patrickbennett439]

Imagine strapping someone to a chair that has seisures, taping their eyes open, and putting on seizure inducing videos. If only Hitler was born later...

I was so heartbroken when you showed the PC case was already rusting, it looks so cute!! We need more cute PC cases in this world, but of good quality.

[@LunaWuna]

I agree, it's a very cute style but the quality is lacking :(

[@LunaWuna]

@@OverbiteGames I feel like the quality of the materials would also be really low if its already doing stuff like that. I do wonder if there is somthing similar that doesnt suck quality wise since i really like the design :(

[@Lanka0Kera]

Quality of speakers I used to buy for product design mock-ups. Works but no big deal if you break them. That is pretty much all I've used Wish/etc for anyway; buy items to salvage the basic electronics from them for design prototyping... Speakers & bluetooth "soundbars"/travel things especially.

[@Mobin92]

Those M.2 to PCIe Adapters actually work pretty well. If you are on an older platform they might be worth it.

[@PaddyIsPlaying]

I have a Sabrent one in my PC with a 2tb 980 for games.

[@ninovanhooff3926]

Watch out, you can not boot from them probably. Just data disks

[@jaymorrison2419]

I just hit peak abuse of tech with one, by plugging an M.2 drive (cycled out of an old build) into my old win Xp machine. It wont boot off it, as the board wont support a boot cycle that isnt off an EDI chain, but it loads Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 plenty fast. And a 250G drive is a lot of space for Win Xp era programs.

[@muhyadeen17]

12:15 zoro has the 2nd biggest chest size in OP for a reason 🤣

[@Amdixer]

@Linus, The annular rings present on mounting points you show at 4:13 are not necessarily attached to the ground net in a PCBA. Often in fact, they are not directly attached, but rather through a chassis ground - board ground connection. (in the form of some capacitors and resistors) But this is not a given, so particularly on "questionable" boards, I wouldn't immediately assume it.

[@toomuchvrchathewp]
