- Hello and welcome to Mystery Tech.
The show where I unbox
Why, what are you doing?
- YEET
(phone clatters)
(drum intro)
- Is that an iPhone SE?
(cases clatter)
You almost got me with that one.
You almost knocked me out.
Why do I have a RhinoShield Solid Suit case
and screen protector and iPhone SE?
Is Mystery Tech today just me abusing
an iPhone SE?
- Thank you very much to RhinoShield
for sponsoring this episode of Mystery Tech
and allowing us to continue our ridiculousness.
So I know that with a standard
glass screen protector, it's usually
the way to go, right, because you do get
that sort of very smooth glass feel
but the downside is, if you've ever used
one of these, you've probably cracked it
chipped it, whatever the case is
and as soon as you do that, it's sharp.
You just gotta get rid of the whole thing.
So this is what it's like if you have
a standard glass screen protector.
So if I go to break it
- [Ken] No, no, no
wait, wait, wait
no, that's not what I got
that's not what I got the
- What do you want me to do?
- Dude. Dude, dude, dude.
You protect your hands. Protect your hands.
- Oh.
- Dude. That's, oh my God.
- Right. Okay, okay.
(crack)
- Is everyone okay?
I definitely saw glass fly all over the room.
So this is our RhinoShield 3D Impact
screen protector, which I can already tell
is not anywhere near as bad because
it's super flexible.
This is made of some kind of polymeric material
which means that it sort of feels like glass
but I can bend that.
That's not breaking.
No, no, no.
Here's the difference.
So, why don't we actually see how well
this works in the real world.
And by the real world, I mean
an incredibly contrived drop test
to see if I can break it.
(tapping)
That's pretty good.
So to really put your RhinoShield to the test,
on top of the screen protector you should also
take advantage of one of their
fine cases or bumpers.
In this case, I have the Solid Suit
with my name on it.
Now this is good for up to eleven feet of droppage.
That's more than eleven feet but why don't we
give it a try?
See if it actually survives?
You ready? Three, two, one.
(phone clatters)
Whew, that was a good bounce.
Let's go down, let's go see it.
(slow-mo clatter)
How's it look Matt?
Don't touch it, I mean I'm not really stressed.
I'm sure it's fine right?
I mean it's a little dirty but it's totally fine.
Look at that.
I mean the case has definitely eaten up
the abuse, but I mean that's a pretty decent drop.
- [Ken] Oh look at that. Just as new.
- Look at that, no problems whatsoever.
It's a little dirty but that's fine.
So if you would like to check out RhinoShield
I have a link in the description where you
can pick up not only one of their
excellent screen protectors, but also
one of their wonderful cases or bumpers.
Stop. Stop. Just, okay we get it. It works.
Okay. Can I ask why there's a monitor
and a Thunderbolt GPU on my desk?
- The MagSafe Type C adaptor.
So, if you're familiar with Apple's wonderful MagSafe
this was a magnetic charging cable for MacBook
that was unceremoniously tossed aside
in favor of USB Type C, which has many advantages
but one of the advantages it does not have
is the fact that it will not actually disconnect
when you trip over it.
I mean it looks like it's machined well by Upmely.
Oh, wow that's a lot of pins.
So basically they have to be really on point
with the signaling here.
So let's try the most simple version of this:
charging a phone.
So if we plug it in right now
(plays note)
Hey, okay so at the very least it will
charge your device and then if I pull it out
boom, stops charging.
Plugs in, charges.
Okay so let me get my MacBook and actually
see if this works via Thunderbolt.
So if I attach this to the MacBook
theoretically everything will light up.
You ready?
Oh, it's getting some power.
Is my GPU on?
No my GPU is not doing anything though.
Oh, dude the cable is too thick.
Hold on, I actually need to put it here.
The cable is so thick that it's thicker than
the MacBook so when I set the MacBook down
it trips out.
So it is, oh, oh!
- [Tech Crew] Whoa!
- It works!
- [Tech Crew] That's cool.
- So the cable is pretty thick
so if you're using with most laptops
you have to be pretty careful because
while the magnets are strong
it's a little bit of a tight fit.
So I don't know how much I can speak
to the longevity of something like this
and realistically, you're probably not
gonna be using it for Thunderbolt all the time.
You probably want to use it more
for like charging and stuff.
At the very least, it actually is
unbelievably a real, fully magnetic
Thunderbolt three connector.
(box thuds)
(laughs)
A mini electromagnetic rail gun. What is this?
What does it shoot?
Excellent.
Okay, so I got some flags.
Oh!
With China, India, and Spain.
Let's see how this works.
I've actually gotten really excited about all this.
What's wrong with India?
India is a wonderful country, Matt how dare you
try to talk (beep) about India.
No! I'm giving shout outs to countries.
Shout out to India, yo.
Shout out to El Spain.
(tech crew laughs)
Yeah.
Not suitable for children under eight years old.
Shouldn't have given me this one.
So I think I just press the button that works.
Do you think it will work if
I press the button right now?
Ready? Three, two, one.
Whoa!
Oh that was cool.
That was really fast
I wasn't really expecting, that was
the rubber one.
All right let's try one more time, shall we?
Okay, I see you, I see you. Save Japan while you can.
Oh, that was a little bit more power in that.
So, look. This is a fun little toy.
It is not as dangerous as it seems.
It seems quite dangerous and if
I had a more powerful power supply
I'd be able to turn it up a lot more
but as far as your electromagnetic
rail gun needs, it's hard to argue that
the Towelie mini electromagnetic
rail gun shooting toy is not exactly what it says
on the box.
They always do.
Okay. A generic brown box.
How exciting is this?
Happy Hacking Keyboard.
How much did you pay for the
Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional Hybrid?
Mm. That is, as the kids say,
a lot of (bleep) money, Ken.
(all laugh)
All right, all right, all right.
Let me actually try this one.
So that is an interesting stand.
So we've got feet for it.
What is this? Oh, is this where the batteries go?
300 dollars and you need double A batteries Ken?
What, what is this layout?
Wait so this is a Mac layout?
- [Ken] Yes.
- So it's, wait shift, alt, why?
Where's my arrow keys. I just have blank spaces.
So let's see how my Happy Hacking Keyboard works.
This is a little bit of a weird layout
so I don't think I'm gonna be super fast.
Ready?
- [Ken] Yes.
- Oh god. Oh god. Oh that's bad.
Oh!
It's so weird.
Oh, Jesus.
69 words per minute, nice, and 87 percent accuracy.
So the keyboard actually feels really nice.
The layout though is maddening.
My delete key is right above my return key
whereas a normal keyboard, it is two keys up.
I know it's legendary.
I know a lot of people like it.
This, to me, is a little bit hard to swallow.
As is 300 dollars.
So, you know.
I'm not gonna swallow money don't even think about it.
(box rustles)
Is this, did you get a bunch of Beyblade stuff?
- [Ken] I did.
This was actually recommended by our viewers.
- I've never felt older in my life.
- [Both] Three, two, one. Let it rip!
(quack)
- [Ken] Oh god. Mine went off.
- [Tech Crew] Austin wins!
That's a point for Austin.
- [Ken] I almost destroyed his MacBook.
- [Austin] Don't do that.
- All right ready?
- [Both] Three, two, one. Let it rip!
(quack)
- [Ken] Oh, I killed myself.
- [Austin] Am I two and oh right now?
- [Ken] I killed myself on that one.
You know what, I need to be on the other side of this.
- [Both] Three, two, one. Let it rip!
- Go, go, go, go, go!
- Oh no you don't.
(quack)
- [Ken] Oh, I won yay.
- [Austin] Attack!
- [Ken] Keep going.
Yeah. Keep hitting him. Keep hitting him.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [Both] Three, two, one. Let it rip!
(quack)
- [Austin] Excellent. Thank you very much.
- So you don't seem exactly thrilled by Beyblades.
- Beyblades, no I'm old.
- All right, I got something else.
I got something else.
- Okay.
The Koss Pro4 AA Headphones.
So why
my dear friend,
do I have a pair of Koss headphones on the table?
Okay.
Oh those are very nice looking.
Wow, that's pretty cool.
You're gonna take these home right.
Yeah.
(laughs)
They look like pilot headphones.
You're totally right. I'm gonna be a pilot today.
Oh wow those are, oh these are so heavy.
Oh. Is there no adjustment?
There's no adjustment is there?
Is that a suitcase?
Why'd you just bring a suitcase over?
Yeah, it's got all the, look.
It's got Paris on it, explore the world, Tokyo.
Oh wow, yeah, that's Flight Simulator, all right.
So a professional access lever simulation controller.
This is a whole Flight Simulator setup. Whoa!
Hold on a minute.
Can you see this? Holy.
Thrust master, the PA linear pendulum
Okay, I can't read.
Hold on, Hold on, Hold on.
Thank you very much for flying Air Austin today.
We hope you are having a pleasant journey
and we hope you are not particularly seasick
because we are about to get a little crazy
on this one.
I'm a true pilot. I fly on instinct.
There we go. Okay here we go.
Gonna bank a little hard on this turn.
Sure it'll be fine.
Whoo-hoo! All right, all right
We're killing our engines. Okay, hold on.
Hold on, we're coming in.
We're coming in. It's okay. It's okay
Okay it's fine.
It's fine! We're going down!
Hold on! Hold on!
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO STOP A PLANE!
NO!
Hold on! we're going down!
- [Ken] I think we're just dead now.
Yeah, I think we're just dead now.
- No, no I got it, I got it.
We're good, we're good. We're good.
- [Ken] No, you're not stopped yet.
- It's okay, we're there. We're there. We did it.
Thank you very much for flying Air Austin.
Please give us a five star review
and until next time, thanks for flying
the friendly skies.
