Okay, I like Arun, his mostly right about a lot of tech, but his experience with his EV does not match the majority of EV users in the UK. I've been driving EV for 4 years now and I've had 0 issues, I've never had to wait 3 hours for a charge, EVER. The issue he made here is the EQS is just not a good car, sure it says Mercedes on the front, but they're are reletively inexperienced making EVs. Tesla, Kia, Hyundi, BYD, MG, Fiat, Audi all make far better EVs and have significantly more experience at making them. Also there is significant misinformation in his 'opinion' on this. Traffic does not impact EV batteries. If the car isn't moving, its barely using energy. The heater will make a small impact but most EVs are now heat pump based and you'll be looking at losing 1-2% of battery per hour at the most. Range lies, well thats on Mercedes here. My Tesla Model 3 gets the range stated most of the time in Spring/Summer/Autumn, maybe 20% less in winter.

​@@BenWeatherillBut do you regularly drive 300 Miles like he said he does? Sure, it's really bad marketing on Mercedes, but the problem persists. Finding a free charger, when you are in dire need of one is way more challenging than finding a free pump. And if a pump is occupied, it's available within the next 5 minutes. A charge-stop can set you back another 30 minutes to a couple of hours. Sure, you could just charge up for like 10 minutes, but then you are back at the same problem after 100 miles. Commuting with an EV makes sense, if you can recharge overnight. But for longer distances it's just painful.

Mechanical keyboards are overrated IMO. They used to be very common back in the 80's and 90's but fell out of favor for membrane keyboards, who where softer and quieter. Try working in an office with 20 of those being used at the same time and you'll understand why... Main reason why they are making a comeback now it's due to the influencer hype and the fact they have become a sort of status symbol among gaming enthusiasts. If you've got a mechanical keyboard and it works for you then great, but the reality is most people don't need one. The best keyboard you can get is one you like and feel comfortable using. Membrane keyboards are cheaper, quieter and often times sleeker (which makes them more ergonomic without needing to buy extra accessories like wrist rests). And honestly, why spend 100-200$ when you can just go for a fully functional 20$ keyboard? I understand the alure of following the hype train and wanting to try things, but really, more important than what others say is what you think is best for you and your situation... Don't feel bad if your opinion doesn't align with current trends.

@orsteinnkristjansson5315

8 ай бұрын

i think it's a use case issue, main reason for choosing mechanical keyboards is N-Key rollover (ability to hold down many keys at once and they all register), Membrane keyboards are usually 4-Key rollover up to 6-Key (4 key meaning you can hold down any 4 keys and they all register but 5th might cause the keyboard to report no key being pressed) depending on key position and some special keys (Shift-Alt-Ctrl) you can go over the listed value but its listed as the minimum you can be sure works. For writing where most multi key uses are Shift + Letter, Ctrl + S and Ctrl + P, Any membrane will do fine. For Gaming or certain IT tasks where you set up multi-key keyboard macros for some tasks you will want at least 6-key rollover or a mechanical keyboard.

His review was also extra wrong when the Corsair K95 Plat also comes with a wrist rest which has 2 sides and the holder is detachable. It's a 200€ after all. What baffled me the most is the excuse to have lost speed using the best switches to type ease and accuracy. Downsides on this KB are the detachable pins or the wrist rest are not particularly sturdy and the size of some keys are different that most brand so you need custom keys. But he reviews mechanical kb in a whole and what he's telling me is he didn't use it enough to get used to it as you have to, coming from all these membrane and chiclet ones...

I relate way too much with this list. My series S now sits idle. Game pass doesn’t hold the value it once did, with the limited playtime I get per week. Nintendo Switch doesn’t work either because the games I usually play are available on Ps5 too. I hope my Sony XM5s don’t join the list 🙂

It's so sad you rarely see splitscreen in games anymore. I think the main reason for this is with the advancement in graphics and such, you have to spend more and more time into optimization for those graphics as well.

Bottoming out - again, different switches with different levels of everything. Sure, some people don't like mechanical switches, but if you really give it a proper go, there's no going back. That said, I would not reccomend anyone getting into it if they like their membrane switches, mechanical gets very expensive very quickly.

The cheese grater next to the Mac Pro is perfect

You still have the flames shorts from your other video😂❤️

one solution for the mechanical keyboard is to get a gasket mounted keyboard, which is softer and bouncier to type on, and do make the keyboard quieter, consider adding some foam or other mods to make it quiter, or perhaps quieter switches, as i think the keyboard is hot-swappable. different keycap materials may help too

Corsair's mechanical keyboards and I have had problems. USB was horribly inconsistent when it came to disconnects. More so, anything that interfaces with iCue software. Firmware bricked my keyboard. Software is nothing short of old google chrome levels of resource hogging. iCue and Razer Synapse both hold bad tech memories for me. That being said maybe it was never the keyboard's fault. 10/10 for feel and annoyance factor. Careful with the firmware and iCue software.

For a mechanical keyboard it's probably just cause you got the wrong one, there's many different types of switches, Silent MX cherry switches for example or even low profile switches

@@hhaste Yep, the only pre-built 'gaming' keyboard I'd recommend is the new Razer, everything else is just...eh. I ended up with a Ducky, but swapped out the switches for Gaterons (though am wanting to try the Boba U4's...being in Oz limits my options somewhat as shipping here can be expensive and annoying). Lubed them up and it's a super smooth typing experience. Going for a gaming keyboard when you're using it for productivity isn't the best idea. Keychron make some great 'pre-builts' and their low profileis fantastic, same with Nuphy.

I've been watching your channel for eight years if my memory serves me well, and I have to say I'm glad you can now afford to make expensive mistakes. You've worked hard and deserve it.

This makes me feel much better about that Nokia N97 I bought, although i do miss a physical keyboard on my phone 🤔

sorry about the keyboard. i think the amazing part of mechanical keyboards, is the customizability of them. if you like a shorter travel distance, maybe quieter, you can get a different switch. or get a different case so its not massive. so a keyboard like that definatley is not the way to go.

09:30 The fact that someone would spend $25k on an Apple product that is an abject scam (Mac Pro) and then RUN out to give them more money (M1 Macbook) blows my mind. I could never trust a brand again after that.

even when the mac pro came out it wasn't even that good of a deal. The mac mini is also an insane value if you have to get a mac and you don't have that much money. It can even beat the xeon mac pro in some tasks for only $700.

Couldn’t agree more with the keyboard, i am so used to flat, quiet and simple keys (also the Macbook keyboards). As soon as I even see a “normal” keyboard I loose all my typing habilities and all of a sudden i take 30 minutes to write a sentence with 30 grammatical errors.

Never make a "one big investment" purchase in the computing world sometimes even for commercial it doesnt make sense, thats because every 5 years tech moves so far it would be better to buy a mid-range machine within 5 years.

Mechanical keyboards do take some fiddling to get it all right, but that’s also part of the fun of it. Trying out new switches, keycaps, foam, etc. Still not for everybody, but I think it’s worth sticking with it and tweaking things to get it just right. Personally have a Keychron K7 with some Cherry reds, some extra foam, and Mode Design keys with a nice wrist rest. I wouldn’t call myself a keyboard fanatic, but I definitely value all the different approaches you can take.

Here's right though. If you compare XSX and PS5 side by side, PS5 is better for majority of users, and sales statistics prove it. I sold my XSX as I was disappointed and tired of waiting, and waiting, and waiting for good exclusive games, so I understand Arun completely. If PS5 offers the same multiplatform titles AND better exclusive titles, what's the benefit of Xbox? None.

If you want new you can get a PC for around $700 (you need gold to play online on Xbox so it'll pay for itself anyway) plus you can get that for $400 by just getting a PS5. Xbox is really not in a good position at all right now and people only buy it because of the "most powerful" claims (I know it's technically more powerful but tests have shown that PS runs games better) and because of brand loyalty. It's either PC or PS now, Xbox shouldn't be a consideration and I'd never recommend it to anyone.

I bought a blendjet for the form factor and being able to make individual servings and being easy to finish. When I make stuff with my vitamix, I always find myself adding more and more in after each drink, instead of finishing the little bit that is left at the bottom. That's a me problem, but the blendjet does help with that, I have to be more mindful of the space that I have to use. It definitely has some shortcomings when it comes to frozen things, but working around that, it's helped me out. I've only noticed the ads more recently, months after I bought it.

I know a lot of people who've had the same disappointment in electric vehicles. In the U.S., fast chargers are NOT as common as everyone thinks, and the problem is our infrastructure is so old that it can't support having tons of chargers in one particular area. The problem, too, is there are two things that absolutely kill range / longevity of lithium batteries. Extreme heat, and cold (specifically charging while cold). If you've ever spent a considerable amount of time outside on a cold day, and then go to charge your phone, you notice it essentially trickle charges until the phone eventually warms up. Now imagine that, only with a 1000x bigger battery for an EV. And, not to mention, most places are STILL using fossil fuels for their power grids, so you may think you're helping the environment / saving fuel use, but now more fuel has to be burnt at the power plant to accomodate all of these EV chargers that are now constantly being used. Personally, I think it's still far too early for widespread adoption of EVs. Battery technology must get better and more sustainable (lithium / cobalt mining is absolutely horrible for the environment).

Yes it's not bad at all

Mechanical keyboards vary a lot, and I would say some of your issues there come not from it being mechanical, but characteristics of that one that simply do not suit you. There are low profile switch options with significantly less travel, and certain switches or o-rings to cushion the bottoming out, and with lower noise than clicky audible feedback ones. There are keyboard designs, and maybe even modifications to reduce the sound even more. But those still may not make it a good fit for you personally. If a membrane keyboard suits you well, there isn't a need to change. Mechanical keyboards vary such a huge amount, it would be ignorant of someone to declare a keyboard better for someone for reason of it being mechanical alone.

Fair with disliking the Corsair keyboard, I have one of them. Corsair's QC is terrible. My main issue being that the LEDs tend to start dying right after warranty runs out, had 5 of them by now. However, it does come with a fairly decent wrist rest, with two different textured sides to it. Could've just used that. Also, there's about a 1000 different switches out there. Maybe linear just isn't you. Could go for some blues or so, even if the noise might be worse. There's silent as well.

11:05 is there a way to attach solar panels on top to charge while you are driving?

As far as the mechanical keyboard it really comes down to what kind of switches you have.

Yup, there are a lot of variables with mechanical keyboards that affect feel, sound and usability. Pretty shortsighted of a tech reviewer of all people to drop an entire category of products based on his experience with a single (and tbh, overpriced/overhyped) product.

The ergonomic keyboard you showed is my favorite one on the market. The only downside is that it’s kind of fragile, and won’t survive even the slightest fall or jostling…
