  • An flashlight concentrates it’s light in a small cone, a projector must spread it over a larger area, while still being brighter than the ambient light if you want to use it as a projector. Take a guess why any good projectors cost more and use expensive hardware, instead of “hurr durr let’s just juse a 10 cents flashlight LED!1!!”

    There are YouTube channels who review cheap temu tech, and some of them also did cheap projectors, with the expected results.




  • Mostly because he is a YouTube entertainer, and not necessarily an tech expert. He got some shitstorm a while ago because of the bad treatment of some of his staff, and other YouTubers called him out because his benchmarks where wrong multiple times, but he would never revisit and correct them. Some staff members said this was impossible for them to to accurate testing and reviews because of the high pressure to churn out new videos.

    Personally I get the vibe that he is nice and entertaining in front of the camera, but might be a less chill person as your boss.


  • No, it was more a turn based game with npcs, and you had to extract people, kill targets, or return objects from the map. By strategically placing mines on windows or doors you could take out enemies, and remove cover for other enemies, or accidentally start a chain reaction that would blow up other barrels nearby.

    The downside was that the game was terrible slow, with what feels like 5seconds per npc to make a turn (even when they where not revealed yet), which is annoying with sometimes 20 npcs per map, who can take sometimes multiple rounds to finish if you are unlucky and miss. And any explosion that would destroy the environment would also bring even modern PCs to a grinding halt. The game was from 2003, but only runs on a single core.
