Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@Fred-g2k says : What happens if you lose your UB key security USB?>> <<@mpmansell says : Does anyone know what that little handheld device at approx 6:32 is?>> <<@MrEvilWasp says : That ethernet to usb connector would be ideal for me because I often install a new OS and it sometimes wipes out my regular ethernet port driver. I don't have wifi on my pc so it's a pain to sort out. Is it just plug and play?>> <<@JackFrost--5 says : I love these small gadgets that never get any attention but increase the flexibility & usability of our devices. Thx for the video I have some of those cheap rubber USB caps, mine for USB A tho, and they fall out easily all the time 👎 I cannot recommend those at all sadly. I absolutely love the ethernet to USB dongle, mine uses type C tho. Thats a must buy for anyone with a modern laptop. I dont know if it also works w phone & tablet. Hope so. Until we get to the point where USB A is fully phased out, I would also add adapters going from USB C to A. I think you showed them in the video but did not individually mention them. I would suggest a different USB card reader than the Lexar one you showed, this one features two ports A & C at opposite ends and supports both SD & microSD, incredibly versatile. What about ethernet couplers & a case for holding/organizing 10 or more USB flash drives. The case that fits micro & SD cards is also handy. Should definitely add the external USB enclosure for M.2 NVMe and SATA SSDs & the 3.5mm to USB adapter.>> <<@davegreen3518 says : Brill. Was going to buy a USB wifi dongle for my old PC which has no LAN port. Thanks to Christopher's video I now see I can just get a LAN - USB adapter. 👍>> <<@MoonlightShinesparkle says : My favorite things to keep around are... a lot of USBs, an ethernet adapter with USB slots, a thunderbolt 2 to HDMI cable, a HDMI to VGA adapter, a micro SD in an SD in a case and its adapter to USB, an HDMI cable and a ethernet cable>> <<@kisho2679 says : Which dongle/hub is advisable for android phone with mic in and headphone out, which includes data transfer and charging port?>> <<@FranklinJoseLara says : My favorite gadget is a m.2 ssd of 256 Gb in a case that I use to store movies and many things with a type c cable in both ends>> <<@CaptainDangeax says : When I changed my Dad 's computer, I opened the old one and plugged the previous SSD into the new one, using the same sata usb3. The time my dad asked why I didn't use a cable, I answered I'm actually using a cable, and the 41GB of 30 years of documents and photos where tranfered so fast I double checked to verify nothing had been forgotten>> <<@huypt7739 says : No ssd m2 external reader to usb?>> <<@notpoliticallycorrect1303 says : I had a hp media drive slot and cartridge that also had several card reader slots on the front. It stop working so I used the end of one of the many sata to usb cables I had(how does that stuff even happen?)and joined it to the board using the end of the old cable, and with a bit of dremel work made a quick release ssd slot. Its like an old flash drive slot but without the worry😊.>> <<@louis9116 says : Is there any way that the hardware encrypted usb drive could get hacked on a hardware level? Also, the 2FA thing for online security is not 100% secure and I am sure there are workarounds. But other than that, great video as always>> <<@horationelson57 says : Your title reminded me of a Monty python sketch, Putting things on top of Other Things Greetings from Australia; much enjoy your content.>> <<@JulsGeekPI says : How we can dischrgue te capacitors of a killer usb?>> <<@rfvtgbzhn says : About the USB-SATA adapter: I have one that also supports PATA (40-pin and 44-pin). Mine doesn't include power though, but for me that'a better. External molex power supplies are cheap and deliver both 5V and 12V instead of just 5V, so you can also use 3.5 inch drives and even optical SATA and PATA drives.>> <<@Tech_with_Loco says : I use the Ethernet adapter on Chromebooks, good for home network trouble shooting.>> <<@Wonton-zoo says : What about magnetic chargers? The type with a magnetic plug with pins and a magnetic wire that grabs the plug thats permanently in the charge port?>> <<@19mitch54 says : I have many marvelously small computing things that I lose constantly. Incredibly small storage devices; I don't know where they go. Screws the size of grains of sand that bury themselves into the carpet. Various and sundry adapters and connectors...>> <<@LegacyIvyTerascale says : 5:29 i recently refunded something like that a TP-LINK UE300 for my Dell 3800 Vostro w Win 7 64 ( that i use right now ) after 9 years the onboard is not running sometimes and i wanted an upgrade anyway removed onboard driver , inst UE300 driver from internet , inst RTL8153 ... still no connection the other option is a PCI card i though : i'd rather buy a low end AM4 PC>> <<@Paul-p1p6m says : Thanks.>> <<@JUDGEJingles says : My 2 year old and 4 year old watch your channel with me. Thank you for being so amazing.>> <<@mho... says : the most useful "adapter" is the one to just plug any hdd/ssd/optical into usb, without opening the pc! makes life soo much easier in the long run, when u got old drives lying around! .....and talking from old LAN party days, the "2female" plug RJ45 box to plug(extend) lan cables together was a great to have back then!>> <<@artemhnilov says : What about UART to USB-C? Will be pretty useful to get console access without display.>> <<@pgrvloik says : I use quite a few of the same Small Computing Things. Recent additions are: "USB Multimeter": it displays voltage and current consumed over USB (C or B) "USB Cable Tester": with built-in led that show if the cable is for power only or is fully wired for data>> <<@dplj4428 says : 1:30 dust protection for usbc port. 2:53 HDMI cable coupler. 3:28 3:57 9:17 hardware authentication,>> <<@cupofdirtfordinner says : if bill gates stayed a child but kept aging.>> <<@yeetdatcodeboi says : I have a nearly the same collection, namely various models of usb A to C, an rj45 eth to usb, usb micro sd adapter, too many sata 3 to usb and most of the logical one audiovisual data cable type to another(e.g. hdmi to dpi). I must say that premade LED test circuit sure beats making one each time... =D>> <<@onrean says : What is the device at 6:40? It looks like a keyboard for a phone but connects really well.>> <<@bingebinge3722 says : 2:32 😂 That's what she said>> <<@bummers says : Mine is a USB biometric fingerprint reader for my desktop PC. Saves all the time logging into Windows and integrates with bitwarden and now the passkey authentication via Windows Hello. Have most of the ones in your list except for the yubikey. Let me go check it out. Thanks for sharing!>> <<@mikesgarage394 says : I have recently gotten a 10" hdmi monitor ($45 on Aliexpress), has several adapter cables, usbc power, much easier bringing the screen to a computer than vice versa, helpful in setup and testing. Useful with sbcs also which is what i got it for.>> <<@IamLookingforWoody_________786 says : My favourite is HDMI coupler😊😊😊.>> <<@fatpanda1597 says : Hi, would you be interested in reviewing Iodd 2531, i could send mine, its litte used up, but functions perfectly.>> <<@nannesoar says : man your speaking caidence is incredibly refreshing>> <<@akuma2124 says : Personally, I'd say add a usb-c hub to that list. You can get ones that have multiple things, such as usb ports, ethernet, SD/Micro SD, HDMI and ethernet (and some of them support power delivery in, to either power the device or just to give the hub sufficient power run everything connected to the hub). I do agree an ethernet adapter is great to have. I've found it beneficial when used with a nintendo switch to download large updates. From memory, the switch only runs on a 2.4ghz wifi band, and I've heard the built in ethernet on the OLED switch dock is worse than wifi. Additionally, I substituted the need for a HDMI joiner with a HDMI multi switch (or signal splitter could work?) basically does a similar thing but with more versatility. (might cost a bit more though, I've never looked at joiner prices)>> <<@BlakesBench says : I have a cut micro usb cable instead of the male usb it’s an led so I call it the micro male to the led>> <<@콜라군-v6l says : What is the name of this 6:33 cute laptop?>> <<@blahdelablah says : One bit of kit I can recommend is an USB C OTG cable. They're similar to the USB C to USB A cables shown in this video, but they work well with smartphones, as they allow you to use your smartphone in new ways. For example, I've paired an USB C OTG cable with a USB HDMI capture device, which with some free software allows me to turn my Android phone into a portable computer monitor, useful for troubleshooting devices that are usually run headlessly.>> <<@theoldtechhandheldtinkerer4092 says : instead of having USB-C to ethernet, USB-c to SD card and USB-C to USB-A adapters I just have a single dongle that has all in one and more, I have 4 USB-A ports, a passthrough USB-C power, HDMI, VGA, Ethernet SD and Micro SD card reader and a 3.5mm Jack. I do have other adapters separately but they mostly came with other gear I bought, the USB to Sata is an awesome idea, although I would prefer one with double USB connectors or USB-C for proper power delivery for non SSD drives.>> <<@RobinBull1968 says : What I'd really like to know is how you keep all your bits and bobs organised and safe so you can lay your hands on them at a moment's notice if you need to. The same goes for one's collection of cables, which if you're like me, has grown very large over the years.>> <<@aerotraveldji says : 6:33 what is this gadget?>> <<@kundasemkundatam7461 says : What I like is USB-A/USB-C flash drive as a more convenient way of transferring files between phone and computer(s).>> <<@Raven3one says : I have a small Thule case in my bag with exactly the same items you have here. I also have a USB C to audio DAC, a Sandisk dual drive (USB A on one end, USB C on the other) and a number of bootable drives. I've been a bit slow on the Ventoy uptake>> <<@Boz1211111 says : 4:30 thing is trash, it has computing errors in the chips, files get corrupt, or stop copying, its disconnecting but its not just appears because the thing is not reliable. 10/10 will not use. that is, that particular adaptor. there are adaptors of same type that work properly and thats great>> <<@flumpis says : 6:35 What is this device? Looks similar to GPD Pocket but smaller perhaps?>> <<@yash1152 says : ubikey, hardware encrypted usb for password storage are interesting things. thanks for sharing.>> <<@Keilaron says : Started watching because I was curious about the item in the corner, and while scrubbing through I noticed a Planet Computers device! How's that one working out for you?>> <<@ChrisBohling says : I see that somehow I unsubscribed from your channel. That has been corrected. Thanks for your great content.>> <<@sadgirl_fishi says : 6:00 can you also use those on a phone? I've always wanted an ethernet port on my phone because the wi fi in my room is really bad.>> <<@EmeraldHill-vo1cs says : Man those yubikeys are pricey. 2 of those would cost more than my comp.>>
