Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Unpopular But AWESOME Tech!”.
What’S going on guys, it’s your average consumer and today we’re going to be checking out some awesome, but unpopular tech. We see a lot of mainstream products, get covered, left and right, but there’s actually a lot of cool tech out there that you just don’t see anybody talking about, and today we’re going to be going over a few of my favorites. But before we get started, we got to give a huge shout out to next insurance for sponsoring this portion of the video. If you’re, self-employed or a business owner, you need business insurance.

Now, let’s talk about this tech, all right guys, so the first thing i wanted to talk about has been a bit of a sore spot for me in the past, you guys have seen my luck with a smart trash can, in my kitchen, didn’t work out so Well, that kind of failed we’re still using it, but it wasn’t really the best investment and a lot of you said: why do you need a smart trash? Can you guys are sleeping on the smart trash? Can world there’s actually some pretty good stuff out there, and this is one of the good things that exists. This is the tao new smart trash can t3 and this is actually a pretty decent trash. Can it’s not huge? It’S meant for, like a you, know, small office space, so this guy right here is like just three gallons, but it has all the smart features.
You’D come to expect no voice controls, unfortunately uh, but it does work pretty well. All you have to do is go up to it. It has a sensor, so it’ll automatically raise up, and it’s actually got some really cool things that it can do so, instead of just normal trash bags, it uses these special trash containers. I guess, and inside of here it houses the trash bags so check this out. I think we’re pretty much there uh, but your boy has some wendy’s, so i’m ready to toss this. The only thing i don’t like is that it’s got a bit of a small rim, so you can’t really stuff huge things inside of here, but we got some extra trash that fit and when you’ve got it all filled up and you’re ready to change the bag.
All you do is press this single button right here: [, Applause, ] and voila. You guys there you have it all your trash, nice and neat sealed up ready for you to just toss it and now look. It uses this air technology that it pushes the bag down and you got a whole new bag ready to go. So you can just throw your trash out all the press of a button.
You got this nice sealed trash bag and if you happen to have something that has like water or something leaks, it is also waterproof. So you don’t have to worry about that messing anything up. I believe on a single charge, it’ll work for 80 days. So you don’t have to worry about charging this thing all the time.
This thing has been awesome, i mean – and this is super neat i think – for a bedroom or even like a tight space like a bathroom. This thing is gon na be clutch, so another take on the smart trash can world. I like this. I really do like the one i have in my kitchen.
I just wish it didn’t clunk out on me, but this is dope. So, for all you, people who said smart trash cans aren’t a thing. It shouldn’t be a thing i think you’re wrong. Now, obviously, you put tech inside of anything price goes up a little bit uh.
I think this guy on amazon is like 130 bucks, or so something in that price range a little expensive, but i think it’s worth it. I think this is dope. Does they have a specific bag? You need to buy yeah yeah, it uses, so it uses these particular bags, so the stuff inside of these rings. So this is the ring it contains the bag in it and then uh you can buy the refills for these seriously.
It’S unpopular just like the rest of this stuff, dang y’all, it’s getting dark, quick, all right! More importantly, the next thing is really really cool and i’m surprised we haven’t heard, or i i’m surprised. I haven’t seen more people talk about this. So what we’ve got right here is called the shadow cast by a company called genki.
They make some pretty dope stuff. This is really cool. So, as you can see, look at my setup. You guys i’ve got an xbox one x over here, and this random hp laptop is a hp envy. What do you think is happening here? You guys i could play the xbox one x or any console for that matter on my pc, so the shadowcast basically looks like a flash drive with an hdmi side and a usb type-c side. So with this, you plug it into the hdmi port of any console or pretty much anything that you want to connect to the computer and with a usbc cable. You connect that to your laptop or pc and look at this glory. I’Ve got my xbox running on my actual pc and it’s running super smoothly. Now what makes this cool is the fact that you can pretty much take your console.
If you need some kind of portable screen, you can use your laptop as the screen and, as you guys can see here, this thing runs really smooth. You can actually change from performance mode to a resolution mode. So if you want it to look even cleaner, you can go ahead and do that there is some input lag if you’re playing a game like apex, where it’s like a first person shooter or something you probably won’t want that. But if you’re playing like an rpg it’ll be fine, so for me personally, i think being able to use your laptop as a portable screen is awesome and it doesn’t just work on windows. It works on the mac too. So let’s say you want to play something like the nintendo switch. We’Ve got it over here. It actually fits very nicely in the back, so you can throw it in here in the dock.
Close it up. Boom you’ve got pokemon running right here on an imac, and this is just insane to me. I never thought we’d see the day where we can have like your imac screen, which is a beautiful screen, uh be used as a display for something like a nintendo switch, and it also just it has the music and everything like all the audio goes through comes In nice and clear and interestingly enough, let’s put this music back down. Interestingly enough, you have a few more controls on the mac version.
Then you do windows. You can record what’s going on on the screen here by just tapping that you can even have commentary by using the microphone, take screenshots all that stuff. So if you want to maybe save some gameplay, you can just use your computer to capture some of that footage.
This thing only goes for 50 bucks. You guys, i think that is just an incredible value if you’re a gamer, especially if you want to take this game on the go, you got a nice big laptop screen, or maybe you just want to take out your macbook connect, your switch to it and play On a bigger screen anywhere, you can do that. I think that’s dope. I can imagine playing 2k carl against the homies. You see, you see, imagine just pulling up with two controllers. You got your xbox in your bag as well as your laptop and boom playing 2k. Pretty much anywhere you want, i think, that’s fire. Look at that. You guys super effective. I’Ve been waiting to say that but yeah, i don’t know how this thing isn’t more popular. I haven’t really seen people talk about the shadow cast as a game capture card. I think that thing is pretty dope, but moving on check this out, you guys, you might have seen this in a previous video with arie, and i, where she showed me a bunch of new tech that i’ve never seen before.
It’S actually a really good video. If you haven’t seen it i’ll, have it linked down below in the description, but this right here is a bluetooth speaker now, you’ve seen bluetooth speakers before that’s pretty popular, but this is called the quirky air and check it out. You guys.
Not only is it a bluetooth speaker, but the thing splits apart, so it goes from being one speaker into five, so you can go ahead and have like a completely immersive surround. Sound kind of experience is actually really dope carl. What are we listening to man? I have no idea what that is all right: fair trade, well we’re going to get hit with the copyright strikes. Jay, you got ta.
You got ta chop this up man, but this thing gets loud as a single speaker, but the magic is really when you just take the thing apart. You can actually have it be three speakers. If you want go nuts, throw five, you got ta go around the room. Let’S, let’s do this so we’ll throw one right here, carl: can you catch? Yes, you can we’ll put one right here, throw one over here and let’s get the let’s get the main one right here: okay, jay! We got to play something: that’s not a copyright copyright song man, so this thing is crazy. Dope absolutely fills up a room. This is a pretty big room and the sound is everywhere you guys.
So i like this thing a lot, but what’s crazy is that you don’t just get stuck with five. If you pick up more than one of these, you can just keep adding on and just keep going and going and going uh in terms of like syncing. It does have like a like a small pause when you jump to a different song or when you initially press play it plays here and then it kind of sends the signal throughout the rest of them syncs it up. So you might hear that little delay there for a second, but i think this thing is super super cool, so i got ta give ari a huge shout out she’s the one who found this system so kudos to her. So last but not least, you guys is this water bottle right here now. I know: we’ve talked about water bottles previously my favorite tech of the month, but this is a little bit different.
This has very different functionality. I remember i did a video, maybe like five years ago ages ago, uh about workout tech, uh, and this thing is basically a blender in a bottle. So if you have something that you need to blend with water or pretty much anything, you can actually see the bottom has this motor that you can attach to the cup, and then you press a button. Okay, you know it’s called the vortex spinner uh. It would look a little crazier if this thing wasn’t in it.
This is called the. What is the neutral pod? Basically, if you have like a protein shake, you want to have your protein powder. You can put it inside of here and then toss it in here, but check it out.
[ Applause ] this thing can pretty much shake up any drink mix any drink that you want and it does it really really well so, like let’s say, you’ve got some protein. You want to throw it inside of here. You just toss it now. Of course, there are those like blender balls that you can shake up and have that make your protein drinks. I personally prefer this. I think it’s better than having to shake up a bottle and it does like such a really really good job. Let this thing run for a few seconds and you’re good, like that thing is stirred up perfectly. So if you work out it’s like a no-brainer, you put your protein shakes inside of here with your milk, whatever it is, it’ll shake it up. It’Ll do a really really good job, but you can also use it outside of like protein and stuff. If you have like hot chocolate that you want to mix up, you can throw some hot chocolate in here mix it up. It even comes with a sleeve. So if you want to carry something warm, you can go ahead and do that.
I don’t know about you guys, but i never see anyone talk about or use something like this, and it’s been so clutch for me for years that i’m just shocked that it’s not more popular now. This one is called the mixer plus because you can take this off and of course, you can charge it with a micro, usb cable, which is kind of why uh, but it also has a usb port. So if you want to charge your phone, maybe your phone died. You need some quick juice boom.
You’Ve got it right here in the form of this little blender for your cup, so a nice emergency battery backup, if you need it, you know i’m all about that life, but that’s about it. For this video guys. This is pretty much just a bunch of cool stuff that i knew existed, that i’ve been personally using that i have never heard anyone else really talk about now, i’m sure somebody’s gon na say they’ve heard of it, i’m not trying to be a hipster over here. I just don’t see it myself, i don’t see anyone talking about it, so i thought it would be pretty cool to put it on you guys radar. So hopefully you enjoyed it. If you want to see more videos like this, where i find cool tech that i’ve been using, that i don’t really hear about often or think you guys may know about, let me know with a comment down below and i’m gon na catch.
You guys in the next article till then it’s your average consumer peace, favorite product carl uh speakers. I haven’t no favorite product, jay, legit legit, i’m using this. You know i’m trying to work on the game. So .
