**60-Day Techie Wrap-Up**
Hey everyone, it's Carl from Techville Goodies here. I'm back with another 60-day wrap-up video, where I share my thoughts on some tech products that have caught my attention lately.
First up, let me show you this wireless mouse. It's a pretty cool device that claims to last for an extremely long time. All you need to do is click the left mouse button when you return to your computer and it will reconnect and start working again. At first glance, I think it's a great idea, but I'm not sure if it's worth the price.
I like to have extra mice around for projects or work, so this one seems like a good option. However, I wouldn't recommend it for everyday use. If you just want an extra mouse that you can toss around, I think this one is okay. But for heavy use, I'd be more careful in my selection.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to use this wireless mouse much because I put it outside and it got wet immediately. It's not waterproof, which was clearly stated on the box, but I should have been more careful with it. So, if you're thinking of buying this, make sure to check out reviews and be aware of its limitations.
Next up, let me show you a solar-powered battery bank that some of you asked about. I checked it out, and while it's not the most powerful charger, it can get the job done in an emergency situation. It charges slowly from solar panels, but that's to be expected. The low milliamp hour rating means it might only charge your phone once or twice, depending on the size of the battery. However, if you're stranded and need a backup charger, this one could work.
The output is slow, but it shows the battery level on the outside with three little dots, which can be helpful in an emergency. It also has a flashlight, which is a nice touch. Just don't expect to charge your phone quickly with this one.
I'd recommend this solar-powered battery bank as a backup option for your car or outdoor adventures, but not for everyday use. There are faster and more powerful chargers available that would be better suited for daily needs.
Last but not least, let me show you a budget-friendly tablet that I recently reviewed. It's priced at around $60, which is pretty affordable for a basic Android device. While it's slow and has limited storage, it plays videos in the car just fine, making it a good option for parents who want to keep their kids entertained on long trips.
If you're looking for an affordable tablet for casual use, this one might be worth checking out. I go through all the details of my review in my video, so if you're interested, make sure to check that out as well.
That's it for today's 60-day wrap-up video. I appreciate your support and encourage you to like, comment, and subscribe to my channel. See you in the next video!
WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up everybody this is Carl from tech for goodies and today we are doing a 60-day look back on Teemu Hall number five from October of 2023 okay yeah that was a little past 60 days but I'm running behind on my recording I'm sorry so I'm getting to these and they will be coming out I know everyone seems to like them um just what I do is give you my opinion uh after using the items from atimu hall for about 60 days 60 to 90 days uh and let you know whether or not it was it was good it was a stiner or if it was just middle of the road so let's go ahead and pull up this video and take a look at what's going on here all right let's go ahead and take the first item here in the bag as I always say ah yes okay so this is another neon sign uh this is something that I actually really like I've liked these neon signs a lot and in fact yep you can see it over my shoulder this is the one that I have hanging on the wall you've probably seen it in all my videos I have absolutely no problem with all these little neon signs that I've gotten I've gotten these two here uh and I've gotten this one over here the rocket as you can see here I've got it up on the wall uh very happy with it no issue with the neon signs so far ah okay so right so the next device is the vacuum sealer so this isn't like a name brand vacuum sealer it really was sort of an inexpensive vacuum sealer I've used it a lot and I've had no problems with it it works every single time I haven't broken it I haven't had any problems with it when I show it in the demo here uh it seems to work great and it continued to work great for me so I have absolutely no problem with it sometimes you buy these sort of Cheaper devices like this and then they they conch out like a week later and you're like dude why did I buy this so vacuum sealer definitely thumbs UPS seal of approval uh it works fine works great um I haven't had to purchase any more bags for it so I don't know exactly what kind of replacement bags you might want to get but I think it just uses the normal replacement bags one thing to note if you're if you're storing sort of dry goods or things that are safe uh you can open it up and reuse the bag so keep that in mind but as you can see in the video it worked perfectly fine to seal up that Altoid stin right so yeah definitely good and then the next thing that was in the bag was these Apple uh lightning cables absolutely no problem with them uh like I said in the video I was going to take it with me on a cruise for my kids to use they worked perfectly fine I didn't have any problem and still don't have any problem with uh these apple lightning cables so sure why not ah yes so uh this is one thing I wanted to clear up is that I do have the pen it sits on my desk I use it all the time it works great and I said that it was a little rattly uh when and I was like ah maybe it's not so good but some people corrected me on the com in the comment section it's because there is a screwdriver tool at the top here that I didn't know about so that's that's the only thing so when it moves back and forth it it rattles a little bit but people cleared that up and other people have commented that they have the same pen that they've gotten it's worked fine and so yeah A+ on this one again picking up some winners here so that's good just letting you know no problem with that pen ah okay yes so I got a small roll of LEDs just to test them out from Teemu because I'm very specific on what kind of LEDs I like this one actually ended up working just fine I don't like that there is a proprietary app that you have to use I wish it integrated with something else so you have to have that specific app on there so you're limited to what that app allows but at the same time it works fine I'm using them downstairs on my Entertainment System just to kind of do a little uh a bit of black uh a little bit of backl and they've worked just fine um the one thing I do like about these is is that it does work off of just like a standard brick like this um you don't have to have any fancy external power sources it isn't very long but it worked just fine no issues with it um I think depending on your application you could consider picking up something like that if you want something just inexpensive to go underneath your desk to give some light it it'll work fine just fine ah next in the bag so I've gotten these multiple times at teu it's a sound reactive light bar um let me jump forward to show you exactly how it works so basically as you talk it'll give you kind of like a equalizer type of look and I love these in fact I've given them both to my kids they have them on their desk um it's just a little neat add-on to your desk and it just sort of U reacts to the sound in the room so if you're playing games if you're listening to music great great absolutely recommended all right so this is less Super Tech and it is more testy Aude but this jar opener works great I use it all the time sits in my drawer downstairs not that I'm not strong enough to open jars because I definitely am but having this little device where you can kind of put it onto something uh like a jar or something and let me back this up a little bit and and and use it to open up the device sometimes they're stuck sometimes you need a little bit of help so it kind of gives you that leverage that you need so absolutely I have no problem with this hasn't broken stayed just fine uh good to go all right so next in the Box was ah the QC 3.0 fast charger problem with this is that as soon as I recorded this this thing was pretty much uh out of stock I couldn't find it anywhere so if you can find something similar it might work but I love it I took it with me on travel I uh and and it's so versatile because and sorry that it's out of stock and I'm I'm talking it up so much but I love it because it has that digital display that shows you right here you can see it it shows you exactly how much charging you're using right so depending on what port you're plugged into if you're using uh usba a or USBC um it'll give you the different wattage outputs so you can see that I'm using um this is actually uh 5 volt 1.2 amps so multiply Volts for its amps so that's about a 67 uh 7 watt output just for a standard usba Port which is good and if you plug it into USBC as you can see here so this is a 12vt at 2.2 amps and so that's about 24 Watts so depending on what device you're using that was showing so I would recommend it go ahead on there and see if it's uh available again uh it's a great little plug universal plug across the board you can plug multiple devices in it I have it in my kitchen so we can come up and just plug in whatever we need um and still works to this day uh I take it in my backpack all the time too ah okay so this is a mouse what I felt about this mouse is that it was very lightweight very it felt kind of cheap but it's worked quite well it's a little bulky but I've had no issues with it it has all the buttons that I want on there and the one thing I always look at at a portable mouse is the fact that it will go into a sleep or standby mode and this one in particular is using a battery and if it stays on all the time that battery will absolutely drain quickly but if it has an auto sleep mode it it will last a really really really long time and all you do is when you come back and you try to move your mouse it's not going to move but you just click the left Mouse button and it will reconnect right to the computer and just start working so would I recommend this for the price probably if you just want an extra toss around Mouse I like to have extra an extra mouse sitting around for projects or for anything that I'm working on or to take with me so uh it's it's about a middle of the road uh but you can check it out and see if you if something you'd like okay so don't get mad at me I didn't use this very much U my plan was to take this and put it out in the front and use it to sort of record when my packages were delivered and stuff like this but it's word to the wise it's not waterproof all right so I put it out there it got wet and absolutely stopped working right away so that's no default of the device it actually says uh not wether resistant on the box but my dumb self uh actually just went ahead and put it outside and ruined it so I cannot give you an appropriate update to this camera I wish that I could definitely check out reviews on it maybe it's something that you might be able to use I've seen a lot of people use these things just plug it into a light socket uh hook up the app and it's good to go but not in my case so sorry about that all right solar power battery bank and yes I'm looking at you the person that commented the other day of what about the update for the power bank this is the video for it okay charges slowly so from solar it's not not like those solar panels are going to charge that battery up has a low milliamp hour which means it's about 5,000 milliamp hours um so it might charge your phone maybe once and the output is also slow that being said in an emergency having something like this in your car I don't know if you're stranded or something like this it worked just fine it it charges fine it shows the battery output um um it shows the battery charge fill on the outside uh with the three little dots and it charges the phone and it's got a flashlight so all across the board it's not going to be your everyday charger is a backup charger don't buy it if you want to charge your phone fast it's going to charge slow but an emergency situation having this in your car or having this with you I would definitely recommend but I wouldn't recommend it as a power bank that you use every day so there you go thanks for asking on the comment the other day ah okay so tablet so this is a $59 $60 tablet I have a full video that I will put up here in a card that you can click and watch the review of um to find out a little bit more about this it's been fine it is slow it is uh using Android I think I can't remember what it's called Android go so it's a slim down version of Android but for the purpose and the price I think it's a pretty good tradeoff again not a lot of storage not a lot of uh speed but it will play videos in the car for your kids if you just want something that you're not worried about getting broken it might be the way to go I would definitely go ahead and check out my video uh review of it uh I go through all the details and stuff like that so it's something that you can check out if you're interested in this tablet but yeah that's about it that's another 60-day Teemu wrapup ready for you to take a look at and figure out if you want to buy any of those things again I appreciate all the support lately I love doing these t-u huls ask any questions I know I Breeze through these 60-day updates pretty quick because I don't want to waste your time I want to let you know if it's good or if it's bad or if it's medium so absolutely click that like button let me know that you like this kind of video and keep doing these subscribe I'd love to see you back but until next time this is Carl from techville goodies and I'm outwhat's up everybody this is Carl from tech for goodies and today we are doing a 60-day
