Austin Evans there is someone impersonating you in the comment section on this video. Its asking people to chat him on telegram to provide something we won randomly that you were giving away. I report it the channel already but just in case be on the lookout. Some of your fans might fall for the scam
I knew too good to be true got scammed on the video that talks about scams .... I won a iphone 12 pro max according to the scammer :-) . Still love your videos Austin
I still miss “Hey guys this is Austin!” 😢
You can say you got scammed out of the "Hey guys, this is Austin!" line 😂
So does everyone 😢
Why did he stop saying that anyway?
@Don't read profile photo no one cares
Same
lmfao I love Austin's so late reaction when the monitor turned back on, literally took him like 5 seconds too fully grasp what just happened 🤣

I've had the Genki Covert Switch Dock for quite some time. The fact that it functions without being plugged in (as long as the device is willing to provide power to it over USB-C) is new to me. Can't believe I never tried it (even accidentally). Awesome!
USB-C PD (Power Delivery) is awesome. Because USB-C is a dual-sided, reversible connector, both devices can be a host and device, meaning one can power the other, and control the connection. What's happening here, is the dock and the Switch run a handshake when plugged in to "discuss" which device is the host (the main control device) and which is the device (the controlled device). Then, if the device requires power, for example, it states that to the host and the host starts powering it.
It's complete magic how seamlessly it works, and it's why every singe device should just use USB-C from now on (especially considering some in-spec USB-C cables can deliver more than 200W, which is more power than required for some high-end gaming laptops).
@@tbuk8350 I'm aware of how USB-C works in general, the element of surprise here was that a mains-powered device without battery can be powered over USB-C. For example: my Thunderbolt 3 Dock (from Belkin) will not do anything if the mains adapter isn't connected.
A generic USB-C hub might be engineered to operate from different sources (so you can use it in PD passthrough mode, or bus powered), but for this device (which primarily is a Nintendo Switch docking accessory that will not function as such without mains power) it is surprising that the engineers went the extra mile to make it possible.
Fuck....imagine it work on steam deck!!!! Take my money!!
@@tombstonefreak I just saw your comment and decided to check it. And I have good news: the Genki dock does work with the Steam Deck! I did get a warning about slow charging, but my deck was already full so I'm not sure if this would be a problem.

Nice bot :) reported

What if the scam is the friends we made along the way?
So true
Haha I don't have friends :D
Just kidding
@Don't Read My Profile Photo fu
yeah friends are a huge scam
maybe life is a scam, who will tell
2:25 i've never heard Austin laugh like that
That caught me off guard
Lolll 😂😂

I was one of the early backers on the Whipr kickstarter and got the base unit, rowing seat, and all the accessories for $400 so if you were one of the backers it was pretty much similar to what other companies were charging for rowing machines except this was portable and can fold up and fit just about anywhere. Was so happy that it wasnt a scam though cause I really needed a portable rowing machine that wasn't $1k.

I love the sponsorship portion xD it made me have a good laugh and a good execution 🤣
Holy crap, that Switch USB-C GaN charger + HDMI out is pretty good innovation! You basically got charger and HDMI output display in 1 single brick
It's literally nothing new.....
It's a damn type C to HDMI adapter, but they stuffed it into a charging block
I don't understand why it sounds like sci-fi to all of you xD
@@thunderarch5951 The switch isn't compatible with regular type C to HDMI adapters and using a non-Nintendo charger supposedly puts you at risk of damaging your switch. There are a few cheap products out there that do the same thing but with mixed results. This one is higher quality and is safe for your Switch.
@@thunderarch5951 The fact that they stuffed it into a charging block is really nice though. It's one of those ideas that's (maybe?) fairly simple but I've never seen a combo like this. That's really nice if you don't only use the switch either, you can use Samsung DeX or other outputs without losing battery for HDMI monitors!
I have a $15 dock i got off amazon, it has HDMI out, 3 USB A a USB C port, a USB C plug, and a SD card reader. Works on my phone, switch Only thing it doesnt have is a AC plug but i could just plug it into a phone charger.

Kickstarter started out great but has slowly become a scam site where people are willingly paying others for something that doesn't exist or doesn't work as intended. 🤦🏾♂️
Because people support things that don't even have a working prototype and fund an idea that company had and when it's time to make it they realize it's not easy or not doable at all. Only fund kickstarters that have a working prototype and can actually see it them using it in a video or something.
9:46 LOL I love that. YEP. This is an awesome thing that Genki don't really advertise about the covert dock. I have used it so many times UNpowered to i.e. get my phone screen on a TV or as a makeshift USB-A OTG solution. It's pretty sick.
The only issue with the Covert Dock is that some TVs stretch the signal and cut out/crop a tiny bit of content along all the edges. Easy to miss but annoying once you notice it! PC monitors usually handle it great, though.
That’s because by default they blow up resolution. If you snoop around the TV settings you can have it show the resolution properly
@@AznUzer you'd think so! but so many tvs i try just can't disable that. quite annoying!
There is a legitimate review for the Licki that reads, "Bought it for my cat, kept it for my wife.
10/10 marriage saver and flavor saver."
I can't forget that, and neither can you.
👆👆Thanks for the feedback fan! ❤️Expect more videos soon💯 message me I have gift for you 📦.
Was very pleasantly surprised by the GENKI dock. I might actually need one of those now lol
looks like a good option for the steam deck if it delivers enough power
They have a newer and slimmer version now. This older version has been around for like a year or two.
Yeah, seems like a really cool product! I love the idea, can't believe someone didn't think of it sooner lol
Though I probably won't pick one up since I already have a super slim 100W GaN charger, plus a nice long braided cable, plus a small (Switch compatible) USB-C hub w/ HDMI and USB-3. A bit more awkward of a setup? Yes, but also more flexible, and hey, I already have it.

The fact that you actually got any products is a miracle. The platform is built to allow scams.
I was one of the people that backed the Covert Dock on Kickstarter, so as soon as they started talking about that I knew it wasn't a scam because I got mine and it works perfectly. I've also backed their latest project which is a set of gaming wireless earbuds that are supposed to have a really low latency and will also be able to connect to two different sources at the same time. So for instance you can connect it to your console or TV for video game audio and, at the same time, have it connected to your phone to talk to your friends on Discord.
Thats merely a reconfiguration of the bluetooth protocol, many devices have some retrictions applied by the manufacturer thats unrelated to the technology.
So as a backer can u explain to me what makes it worth $75? I mean u can get USB C docks with HDMI out and way more USB ports even ethernet for less than $20.
@@verakoo6187 I got it for $59USD including shipping. That's the benefit of backing on Kickstarter is that you generally will get it for cheaper than the MSRP. It was $49USD plus $10 for shipping to Canada. Plus at the time most 3rd party docks for the Switch bricked the console, this one remains one of the few 3rd party docks that doesn't brick the console. It makes it more convenient if you want to bring your Switch on a trip, you can plug it into a hotel or Airbnb TV. It's definitely more compact and easier to bring with you than the actual Switch dock. Plus you can also use it for other devices like the iPad or a Samsung phone or tablet.
The GENKI covert Dock is genuinely so cool! When you unplugged it for a second I didn't even realise what had happened 🤯 I was mindblown just like Austin
same here

lol the "firmly grasp it cut-scene lol love the videos Austin funny and educational.
I love that Austin is watching Doug Demuro!

I loved the sponsor portion of this video it was different and funny at the same time 😂
one of my favorite youtubers out there thank you for everything :)
I used to rock the iPod 6th gen with the Lunatik watch band. Also rocked an Apple Watch with the Lunatik hardware too. Such a great concept for wearable tech!!
That Genki charger is perfect for Dex and my S10... I have an Anker hub that does similar, but that's sleek and the ability to plug it into the wall directly for charging is hassle free.
Video idea: broke vs pro F1 racing simulator. Final competition can be a Austin vs Ken race
Austin Evans is becoming my favourite channel, always makes me laugh, great job.👍
I was one of those that actually received the volterman wallet after a years wait. Can confirm it is a scam.
Speaking of scams lol
Got scammed from a ‘company’ called Wallor. Completely forgot about it til this video. Ordered mine January 1st 2020 and just now doing a deep dive and seeing they’re on Kickstarter and the guy abandoned the project and has backers demanding refunds to no response. Hurts
That’s a hell of a way to get your eyes and face scratched up. Also belkin did a better version of that dock years ago before the MagSafe docks, I have like 5 of them in my drawer and they did an iPad version when iPads had lightning.
I love seeing you get scammed. Hope me watching your videos over and over again help you not be homeless xD
There are things that cannot be unseen. Austin licking like a cat… yup, that will live rent-free in my head for the rest of my life. Hilarious, though! 🤣
Does the adsense revenue from this video cover therapy costs for Austin after using the cat-licker or just the cost of the products?
I can watch the video again if it means it adds to the therapy cost.
There isn't enough therapy to undo what we saw with the cat licker 🙀
The Genki Covert Dock is perfect for Steam Deck as well.
Just buy a USB doc and plug it into a phone charger. Cost max $30
Brilliant video, i really like a lot of these random items i've never seen before and sometimes i'm tempted, although not by that cat licking wtf is that about :D
Love your videos Austin keep up the great work
Unboxtherapy did a volterman wallet video pretty much endorsing it a while back. Felt bad when I got one after he recommended it and never ended up getting it years later.
Just got to the part about the covert dock. 1000% not a scam, works INCREDIBLY WELL
I ordered the Volterman wallet for my husband years ago and he got it very quickly and uses it every day. The tracking works, the camera works, it does legitimately charge a phone (although it definitely doesn't charge it MUCH), and the leather is a really decent quality. The charging cable sucks as it's really hard to get it placed correctly and the battery is terrible so even though it works, you have to charge it daily. The camera isn't a great quality, but it does what it says it does, the app is pretty crappy, but it still works. Is it a scam? I've read articles where everyone is stockpiling on it, but I don't know that it's completely justified. Now people not getting theirs, if that's what is happening with the company now, that stinks because it legitimately years ago wasn't an issue.
I backed a product called the Agent smart watch for $200 years back that never shipped and the guy who started it jumped ship and went underground. You should check out the story behind it, its pretty nuts.
I legitimately had too look up the licki brush on Amazon cause I thought "no way it's actually on Amazon" and sure it enough it was and in a couple different versions of the thing too
I've personally never used Kickstarter, but definitely a great video! If I ever think about using it and purchasing something on it I'll be careful :D
Just so you know: when a project is on kickstarter you're technically not _purchasing_ anything. You're "investing" in the idea of a product/service/dream and in return they can offer you a benefit _if_ everything goes according to plan. In reality this means the _can_ spend the money on other stuff and come up with some BS story about manufacturing cost, unforeseen issues etc.
So invest if you really believe that this company can deliver. But be very ware of "first time" campaign starters. Do your own research on the history of the people involved in the company. And whatever you do: don't start with expensive investments :)
l've personally never used Kickstarter, but definitely a great video! lf l ever think about using it and purchasing something on it l'll be careful :D
Whipr was in Mark Rober Shark Attack Test as being funded on Kickstarter.
The Weekender bag that they gave Austin for this sponsor video is not the same bag I got when I tried Bespoke in the past. The bag I got was much smaller than the one Austin was carrying, unless Austin is really that small a guy.
2:02 no now your on a list and I'm pretty sure HR is gonna wanna see this lol
Austin nearly being called out for cradle robbing to get employees is downright hilarious. Jared, he was walking uphill in snow both ways to your school so he could recruit you!
I was kinda nervous when Austin was going to use the Switch dock.
3rd party switch docks have a good chance to brick your switch. nintendo uses different power standard for usb c
I love see weird out there tech you should do aliexpress next and if you could look into beitong zeus controller it has mechanical buttons

I loved these you all should do more kickstarter scam or no scamm
😂😂 oh I’m sure.. you know the real Austin Evans doesn’t have 77 after his name. Pathetic attempt from a pathetic person. Oh wait let me guess I won a prize but to get it I gotta pay the $150 shipping and processing fee and you need me to go down to the closest store and get a Gift card. And also wtf is telegram I have literally never heard of anyone actually using that 😂😂
Just by seeing the first already makes my soul crumble to the ground. I can tell the video is going to be great.

I deliver medical supplies to residents amd usually Cary there medicine inside of my pants to warm it up for them so before each route I do this amd drive around with the medicine bottles in my pants warming it up.
The fact that Austin has never heard of the Genki Dock and keeps referring to it as a charge brick is super suspect. I mean, it does charge, yes, BUT the primary focus of it is the docking capabilities.
I’ve only ever used Kickstarter to buy 1 product and that is a Lite3dp 3d printer. It failed within 1 print and absolutely no customer service. Not a great $100 paperweight that doesn’t do anything now
Fun Fact: the Licki Brush is actually appear on the Shark Tank; and, aside from them actually licking a live cat in front of the Sharks, their presentation is not that weird
Will it work with the switch lite? since there is no way to connect the switch lite to the TV ?
No matter how Overused a Topic is...Your content will never get old 👍
I had that ipod and i hated it first the buttons got stuck and i couldnt turn it on then the screen broke and i couldnt see and it only had 8GBs i went back to the ipod nano the nano has a speaker and a camera and 16 GBs and it was cheaper
Your ads have gotten so awesome I wanna go sign up
can i put the genki switch deck on a switch lite ?
That rubber cat tongue is literqally a zoom groom for dogs but with a mouth handle.
I remember seeing that Volterman wallet and was about to get it, good thing I didn't!
Love a good Austin Evans video!
This is actually the Best Video on the world. And also you are
Wasn't that cat tongue thing, or something very similar, from the beginning on Shark Tank as well?

one time i even got an error from roblox that my graphics card can't run roblox like its even to bad for them
I can 3D print one of those docks for 13 cents. Just make a phone stand with a solid bottom and put a hole for a charger in it lol
That switch dock is a sweet item. So getting one.
Be prepared to be waiting for close to a year if you get it from Genki.
@@cybertronmessiah It will come eventually

Kickstarter always been a 50/50 with me sometimes it’s actually good ideas and sometimes it such stupid
"Solar roads/pavements", "water from the air machines", "360 degree video cameras" (got caught out by the last one) lots of repetetive ones to pick from that keep making millions in backing before disapearing.
Dollar store pc accessory challenge 😂
Genki is actually making a smaller covert dock
I remember seeing the licking thing on the RT podcast, I’m surprised its still a thing lmao
I almost died of laughter when i saw the linus case hahahaha
Honestly I was expecting him to call Austin daddy to mess with him 🤣 damn the Internet messed with me
I only done one the sinden light gun waited a yeay for delivery thay were releasing tracking numbers a month pefore posting and lying about it after speakingto royal mail and kicking up crap and when it a reived it was defective maybe not a scam but deceptive.
, it's like watching linus tech tips but a few weeks later 😂🤣😂🤣
Therapist: Austin doing workout with an intense face looking into the camera cannot hurt you

If that Genki dock product worked with the i-pad, shouldn't it be able to work with a Switch Lite?
No, the Switch Lite doesn’t have a video out chip onboard though the usb c port
