Amazing video as always, Lon. I loved the Spaceballs reference as well.

No eating Doritos when using the gaming mouse 😁

Three sd cards in a row were 32gb via testing with f8 but were marked as 128, 256, and 512gb . Reported them and they were removed. USB A to C adapters were good though

This is one of the best bits of comedy I've seen in ages. Thanks Lon!

Isn't Temu being looked at for its app security and intrusiveness? Super accurate location tracking was one such concern 200m accuracy location tracking is a little overbearing. I personally would stick with its long standing competitors that doesn't want to be intrusive. I get a lot of components that I can't easily find in my country and some surprisingly well established reputable brands having official stores on the competitors marketplace. I'd love to see industry standard robotic tests performed on this store's products to see the lifespan. Electric air dusters when they work are brilliant no cold can droplets to worry about 😅 my hands certainly feel the freeze with a traditional air duster.

The app is suspected of tracking and forwarding data on you, the bigger danger is all these practically anonymous companies in China selling you usb devices and memory devices that are possible collection devices for who knows what nefarious reasons. I'd rather plug a usb device I found on the street than plug a temu device into my tech and network connected devices.

Thank you for the video, and all the best !

Very grateful for the reviews on Temu (any online tech) products I purchased a white version of the black USB hub. It died within seconds of plugging something in. They refunded me the $4 without making me mail back the item. Probably because I uploaded a video. If I hadn't done that they'd have wanted it back, first. Per my experience. That said, I am having to return 2 Anker 20K mah power banks that don't want to charge me ohone in any reasonable time frame. Like, 5% in 2 hours time..tried multiple USB cords.

He said F-ing "D" Key... lol

And to think that there are massive container ships that travel from the other side of the world just to deliver thousands of terrible products like this, things that will likely be landfill waste in less than a year...

Keep up the great work

The usb drives are great I think they’re old laptop drives re-cased, I have one that does blu rays too I got it on Amazon last year and it’s helped me digitise my collection of dvds and CDs, but the blu rays took ages even to rip!

Would have been nice to see you test these products on a PC for the few people out there who run windows

Except for the vacuum; the rest seemed to work but USB2 now is sort of sucky.

Speaking of optical media, do you still archive things to your M-Disk writer? I was interested in trying to archive some of my videos thats filling up NAS.

The holes in the mouse are mainly for weight reduction, not asthetics or ventilation.

I found Temu fun at first- but then you realize it's just the equivalent of an online 99 cents only store or Five Below.

Loved your video, the only item I’d consider was the optical drive, the rest were just junk. Side note I picked up 2 dvd burner opitcal drives at Best Buy both for $20 last year

I think I kinda like a membrane keyboard over a mechanical just less noise. Maybe I bought a bad mechanical keyboard but mine is pretty loud.

They're all quite loud. Especially comparing to membrane ones. I personally don't get the hate for membranes as there are quite good stuff amongst them. Seems somekind of elitism movement there. Like that what was it IBM model and old as balls, anyway I've used ones around 80's and 90's I haven't missed them at all. I was actually surprised to see people paying a lot for them. Let's face it. If it where something absolutely spectacular, why did they end up mostly in landfills? I have on good keyboard and it's really old is it 380xd model IBM Thinkpad I have somewhere laying. That's the computer I'd use if I'd begin to write book. Not my new Macbook. Not my X250 Lenovo with chicklet keyboard. Not my desktop whatever that fairly nice keyboard is. But that old Thinkpad and to my knowledge that one is memrane keyboard?

@@LonSeidman I personally just want too level of quality on those which is already known to be bad. Not interested in the products themselves even slightest. Just can't fathom why people buy stuff from there. I suppose cause it's cheap and you can get something for cheap you might use once in every 5 yeats or so?

You keep telling your viewers that local Over-the-Air Antenna TV is free. Most of the revenues that broadcaster earn is from commercial advertisements. We pay for the free views by sitting through and watching their commercials and other announcements they provide with their content; So we do pay for the content.

I tried temu and almost lost my money due to them losing my returns. I ended up doing a charge back and uninstalling the app

Very expensive junk IMO.. :D

Most of this sounds interesting, but the quality looks cheap. Would rather spend a bit more to get something that would last.

All of the items they sell on Temu are very low quality and will be thrown away very soon. Pleae loan take care of the enviroment dont suppport this company ❤

Just to clarify for you, Temu is a marketplace like Aliexpress, where lots of different companies sell their wares. Yes some of the products can be of questionable quality, but if you’re savvy and careful with what you purchase some decent deals can still be found.

​@@nathan_taskerOh I see well they are doing a really bad job on keeping the low quality stuff out. Why would you waste so much CO2 for a product that will thrown away in months after the first use.

Junk

I'll be honest. I'd never ever buy anything USB and computer related things from place like temu. Even for their price they're way over proced imo. I mean especially usb2 is so dated tech for like 10 years already. Especially thinking what was the official power rating of it? It's likely way over for usb2 hub if you plug rgb keyboard and mice to it. They're obsolete dated products and components. Even worse is stuff like that 'should be illegal' wrong color coding. Let alone that they could contain malware.

Temu is sad, please don't shop there or promote them.

Just seems like you dont know how to buy from temu 😂😂
