This $10 E-Waste Kiosk Tablet thing has built in RGB! (Tacky Tablets EP7)

Timestamps are integrated into the video showing each segment dedicated to this device.
This went way too long just for this device so that's why there's timestamps so you can skip to wherever you need to be. No harm in doing so! If you are here only to see a specific part of the video then there's no problems in skipping along. I thank you for even clicking on this video!
======================================================
Greetings and welcome to another installment in the series called TACKY TABLETS, a series in which I test various tablets and see if they are good or rather tacky and in this one I have a...thing?
I got a few of these at E-Waste for $10 each and half of them were locked down but some weren't and I was moving some stuff around the other day and decided to try them again and went "you know what, this deserves a review" and here we are.
It is hard to call this a tablet but it is rather a "kiosk" thing. But it's tablet in the sense that it looks like one. Just agree with me.
But how does it perform for $10? Well get yourself a drink and snack and listen to me waffle on about this thing for 45 minutes and show you all exactly what Rocky can do!

That transformer module is for Power over Ethernet (PoE). Right where it connects to the motherboard you can see written "POE_IN" and "POE_OUT". For such an embedded device it would make sense. Many of these networked touch screens are used in conference rooms and having them powered and connected to the network over a single cable makes installation much simpler, since you don't need a mains run to the device. Others are saying that it's either a switching mode power supply to convert the input 12V to what the mainboard uses and others are saying it's the LED driver board. Both are wrong, since both of those low voltage circuits don't generally use such big transformers. Most of them use small surface mounted transformers.

[@Yippeee5959]

Nice observation

[@sweetasdude]

looks like it was probably used outside a meeting room. Showing room booking details etc. Red when room is in a booked state, Green when free. The off timer will be to turn off the display in office closed hours.

[@TangentDelta]

I second this! I have a similar device (made by a company called Visix) that is actually meant to mount inside of the wall. Just like this device, it also has RGB LEDs and the ability to be powered through the ethernet port using Power-over-Ethernet. My Visix device, however, uses a generic x86 single-board computer, so I just have Linux installed on it. I have it mounted in my hallway and use it to control my Home Assistant setup.

[@Boogie_the_cat]

No, most likely an internet cafe whorehouse. Red means bangin' in progress Yellow means cleaning up (yeah, like they do that) Green means DTF That's what Regis says!

[@ProtoV33MK1]

My guess was either this or if it was used for POS/order kiosks, the light ring would be used as a status indicator (i.e. green when open and ready for next in line, red if an attendant is needed)

[@IsmaelWensder]

Because most "welcome" devices are 2x scam, fake specs + expensive for what they offer.

[@airtaxi]

For $10, it's more than enough to keep Ripley entertained for a short time.

[@PeterBellefleur]

I've found it at Aliexpress, same exact specs, but claiming to have NFC, for £243. Was hoping for sub £100 because it would be perfect for Homeassistant. They sell it as a meeting room display.

[@SMOOREZ]

Welcome to another installment in my "TACKY TABLETS" series which I look at various tablets to see if they are tacky or not and this one is something. If anyone has any information about this, feel free to let me know! Hopefully something in the system files perhaps? Also yeah if you have any Giveaway ideas, let me know also. I want it to be as absolutely fair as possible. Likely will be doing it in November sometime after my break. Well I think a Job Lot will be out next finally...I'll be slowly chipping away at it and release it near the end of October. Stay tuned for that one!

[@dylanlindsay1993]

i want ti win it! id use it to stream music! id mount it next to where my computer desk is on the wall

[@isaackingvideos]

Talking about E-waste. I saved a laptop from going to E-waste and updated it to windows 11

[@mikailulum2540]

Man only $10 with that SoC, that display, and that RAM? I want one

[@bub_sy]

I'd probably use it as a smart home dash. Link it up to home assistant or just have all my smart app widgets on the screen. You could control all the house lights, answer the doorbell camera and watch people break into the garden shed on the security cams. It would have to have tap to wake and be able to dim the RGB though.

[@jokeletsplay]

this is definitely the perfect digital picture frame, id for sure use it for that

[@michaeldavidryandanielpaul1990]

Ripley being absolute ripper, was comedy gold! 💛🐈

[@mrtobiastaylor86]

This is a meeting room booking tablet - you can power it over POE. Great devices tbh, really really useful in automation

[@alameachan]

Dayum, I'd really love to have one of those - as you said, they're really versatile for a lot of things! But, quite honestly, shipping it would be more expensive than what you paid for it. And it might break. So yeah, my inner dragon is conflicted between "let's be reasonable" and "ooooh shiny!"

[@cgwworldministries83]

I kind of want a few of these to setup as media players throughout my house. Like for watching tv in the bath.

[@woolfy02]

You pull off that American accent pretty good! It had a little bit of the south as well. haha. I really wish I could find a e-waste store near me. The closest I can come to that is maybe a Goodwill store. Great video!

[@mal0gen]

The red lighting really made the review a lot more cozy. I recommend you to get some lighting like that on future videos, maybe a few RGB LED strips could help... great video :)

[@uhm175]

That red light looks so bad tbh, and hurts to look at, i hope he won't put on any led strips, his vids are already good & comfy on the eyes as they're

[@TheWarlordFDC]

I would love to get one of those. Really cool for something on 24/7 without having to worry about the battery, and seems decently powerful too.

[@comper77]

the microphone on that tablet is basically how fish hears you from their fishbowls

[@HFkepley9312]

It could be great to use as the display control screen for a digital jukebox or as a home assistant control screen for controlling different things in a home

[@ParkerBlank]

Hehe! I’ve been watching you for awhile, and you’ve helped me through my breakup tremendously. Thank you!!

For that price i would love to have 5 of them around the house connected to home assistant for home control and notifications via the RGB!!

[@dunxy]

Ripley closing down the fish video and walking away was amusing! Its a cool tablet. On a side not, enjoyed the Robocop stream the other morning & have a good break.

[@Random_4400]

Congrats mate, You definitely deserve 100K and well over! As far as the giveaway goes i think it's a good idea to do it but I'm not sure if everybody would enjoy such a tablet without a battery, there isn't really much of a market for these as far as your everyday person is concerned unless you want to use it like a Google home thing in your kitchen etc But again maybe i am wrong Anyway enjoy your break, can't wait for you to be back!

[@xfimlet]

The vid is great as always, and I think for 10 bucks this tablet is a dream

[@Bearlylei]

[@shubhajitsen2416]

[@KiraSlith]

This thing would actually make an amazing personal assistant to just hang in a hallway or the kitchen entrance, it just needs a couple more microphones for better area coverage.

[@Aahz1977]

This is really neat. I think it would make for a great streamdeck. There are a number of apps to choose from and the rgb would really fit the aesthetic.

[@allenrussell6135]

For the price i could think of many projects to try. Thanks for the video. I wish i lived near an ewaste location.

[@_MasterLink_]

Wow, something like that might actually be useful as my nightstand security camera monitor/google voice phone, with the added benefit of doing a few other things in between like KZbin and some games. It'd just need to be tethered to an outlet, but I think it might actually be possible to install a battery in that, if not powered via the DC input by a battery pack and boost converter. There's so much room in the interior that I totally think it could be done and made fully portable.

[@Kittonkitkat]

Those things are surprisingly good, would not have assumed it could have done some decent emulation like that. I could easily see it used for some home assistant or a little gaming device for a kid to mess around with. $10 couldn't really get you anything much better, even if it's a thing you can really take on the go LMAO

I actually used one like this in 2019 for a school project,we were making a assistant (something like Alexa at home) which was supposed to work on a separate network, I me and my friends bought on like this from Ali express for around 20 usd (includes tax and shipping) it had 2 gb ram and ran android 9 and it was pretty decent for this, I don't remember the processor but our project out pretty good, we used ethernet and USB to create a smart home like system, which made us win 2nd place.

[@rjnash2610]

Hey there again bud! Just binging your vids with a couple of mates. A quickie tiny request/tip that you will already know about but as it's the perfect and usually preferred way to truly gauge how a device handles streaming content, please consider having the stats for nerds running during a YT vid (even if it's for like 15 seconds) to check for performance/amount of dropped frames esp when you're testing 4k/1090p. Right, I've had this thing paused for way too long and the audience is getting a little twitchy :P (funny that though as 2 of them were the ones that asked me to type this out! It was my idea first though ffs)... One more thing, when you attempted to launch Ark and it strained, stuttered and then failed, a couple of us noticed @ 29:29 that GTA SA was still running in background and using system resources. This may or may not contributed to the Ark fail, but always best to kill all apps (especially the chonky ones) or reboot a device to give it a fair chance/test (we're all geeky techies and love these funky devices like you too btw) :). I know this is kinda obvious advice and I didn't mean to be condescending but when reviewing tech like this and content creating, many of us has been there when watching a completed and uploaded vid and we kick ourselves later on wishing we did some obvious things that we should have (so you may possibly have also noticed GTA running yourself by now too) :P. Later!

Hi Smoorez! (I'm getting myself some s'mores while watching this, yezz it's good) I think you definitely should do teardown and/or in depth review on some realme devices, and I'd say you could definitely do anything from realme C1 to realme 5i. These things are from 2018-2019, old enough, and deff cheapo for you to check them out :) May not be Welcome devices, but it'd be extremely interesting to work with older BBK phones (the company that manufactures oppo, vivo, OnePlus, realme, and more) and see if there are any dodgy/even more interesting stuff. Thank you for this review and hope you take a good rest for this whole month. Your channel has been such a gem for me personally, it's such an amazing safe space. Also love your cozy little place so much. Please send my regards to the froggos, your neighbor's aircon and of course Ripley! :)))
