05:35

not just with any toothbrush this video

05:37

is sponsored by life and wave and I'm

05:38

I know they're not messing around cuz

05:43

they flew me out to CES I was literally

05:45

there at the booth I ain't about to just

05:48

read you some talking points I'm going

05:49

to make this thing

05:50

levitate traditional electric

05:52

toothbrushes are never quite as good as

05:54

you would expect but the life and wave

05:55

has this insane 60° oscillation and a

05:59

powerful proprietary Servo

06:01

system I don't swallow toothpaste but

06:03

that would explain a lot wouldn't it it

06:05

literally felt like I was unboxing an

06:07

iPhone and I thought this thing was

06:08

going to be a few hundred bucks but it

06:09

was less than half of that this is like

06:11

the BMW of toothbrushes look unibody

06:13

design no gaps means no slobber in the

06:16

cracks that tast feel bad it's got 02 mm

06:19

soft tapered bristles with a tapering

06:21

rate of 90% to gently clean your teeth

06:23

and mouth so there's an app toothbrush

06:25

down there phone oh adjust the vibration

06:28

strength down oscillation range

06:30

up Gatorade these Replacements are 10

06:33

bucks HP executives are literally crying

06:36

tears of

06:37

reasonableness and along with the

06:39

Precision waterproof design is rapid

06:41

magnetic charging traditional electric

06:43

toothbrushes suck their Motors are cheap

06:45

they don't

06:47

[Music]

06:49

oscillate so huge thanks to life and W

06:52

for sponsoring the video get your

06:53

girlfriend one I brought Olivia one ooh

06:55

I just assumed you had a girlfriend my

06:57

bad bro my bad make your teeth cleaner

06:59

maybe you'll get a girlfriend please

07:00

consider using my links in the

07:02

description to support the channel I got

07:04

to put it out bro you win bro you win

07:07

this is our haul right now this is for

07:08

the setup already broken the snacks a

07:10

little bit for some brainstorming food I

07:12

just only like the centers the centers

07:13

are the best part so no reason really

07:16

need the other part you've seen the

07:17

title and thumbnail so I don't need the

07:19

first thing I did was start programming

07:20

the tiny computer for an idea of how

07:22

powerful this is you know my survival PC

07:24

could run like 300 instances in

07:26

Minecraft well think of this one as

07:27

being able to run like a tenth one tenth

07:30

of an instance of Minecraft so pretty

07:32

beans that's good beans but with enough

07:34

programming possible to Game On I

07:36

plugged in the virus thing and nothing

07:38

happened at

07:39

all nothing the tiny Android phone

07:41

unfortunately has a bad USB port so it

07:43

wouldn't charge but it'll make for a

07:45

good visual later because I decided this

07:47

time as the setup gets stupider it also

07:50

has to get smaller so it's not just

07:52

stupid setups it's stupid small setups

07:55

so it's going to get stupider and it's

07:56

going to get smaller until we're at the

07:58

smallest in the

08:01

stupidest let's use a tiny PC to do some

08:04

configuration first setup pretty small

08:06

basic setup not very stupid in fact I

08:09

don't hate it which means it's not

08:12

stupid enough we're going to make it

08:13

stupider we plug this in instead of

08:15

keyboard second setup with a little bit

08:17

of fancy

08:19

programming nice I got this piano

08:22

keyboard mini device to type for me

08:28

yeah

08:30

this a little Dumber but needs to be

08:31

smaller by reducing the screen

08:34

size third setup slightly smaller

08:36

slightly Dumber makes it even dumber and

08:40

smaller but the progress wasn't quite

08:42

quick enough for my short sprain so I

08:44

bet I could make it a little bit dumber

08:46

with this thing and it is in fact super

08:48

dumb stupid so I don't have to go

08:49

searching for drivers this thing is a

08:51

barcode scanner that you have to do

08:53

manually dongle and if there's a website

08:56

associated with the product cdrom reader

08:58

it'll pull up that website get my dongle

09:01

and dongle into this

09:02

mouse and I kid you not the custom

09:05

designed installation software that

09:07

fired right up this is for Real it's

09:09

installing drivers from 1995 off this

09:12

disc drive was the most indepth

09:14

deliberately designed installer I have

09:17

ever seen in my life no way bro most

09:20

unique exciting and Innovative software

09:23

installation you have ever experienced

09:25

it literally made you read their terms

09:27

of service it forced you to lit makes

09:29

you read the entire Ula the G the nerve

09:33

to make you just sit there and actually

09:36

thoroughly I can't take it read a usage

09:38

agreement well that is taking a long

09:40

time the dude's pretending like it's

09:41

still 1995 as if in 1995 someone's now

09:45

empty nester parents who recently

09:47

without skipping watched a movie where

09:49

the credits were at the beginning 1995

09:52

was crazy sat there read these words and

09:55

in no hurry at all prepared themselves

09:58

to scan a barcode on their Windows 4.0

10:00

machine jaw a gape in

10:08

amazement yeah that's pretty dumb added

10:10

the tiny camera to the top from Newton

10:13

to make it Dumber this thing really came

10:14

with a USB type like deep but then it

10:17

needed to be

10:18

smaller much smaller and I had an

10:22

idea this little tiny display is 640

10:26

pixels x 480 pixels and it has Optics

10:29

attached for like a VR headset that

10:31

makes the image about a half2 in

10:33

diagonally this has got to be so fragile

10:35

dude which I quickly

10:39

removed to make it 23 in diagonally or

10:43

less than 6 mm that's a that's like a

10:47

screen that's a monitor right there

10:48

smaller than the tip of my finger bro

10:51

what is it

10:53

working no freaking way on the tiny mini

10:58

computer from early all right we got our

11:00

showing up there I got what is

11:01

essentially a Minecraft knockoff to run

11:04

average Linux user opening a browser

11:06

installing Minecraft is requiring

11:08

hackeri but it would crash as soon as

11:10

you did any form of input come on do it

11:13

do it so after coding it and adding in

11:16

so many different like lowres potato

11:18

variables and days of wearing the same

11:21

shirt bro I got it to run at

11:23

approximately 15 FPS and these little

11:26

Bluetooth joy-con things just worked

11:28

perfectly so with various dongles and

11:30

assembly methods I got all the little

11:32

tiny bits and pieces put together to

11:34

form the world's smallest steam

11:38

deck it's a version of Linux so it's a

11:41

steam deck fight

11:42

[Music]

11:51
