Be careful on eBay because I've found people using the word "super" in the title for the regular Nvidia 20xx GPUs.
Are those people actually nVidia?
If thats the case you start an ebay claim and either get your money back or settle on a partial refund with the seller. Ebay has policies in place to protect buyers. If the description says its a 20xx super and thats not what they sent you then you are entitled to a full refund.
TE5LA thx bud
@@urmomsahoe1 I think they might get away with this if they say they used super to describe "how super awesome" it is, and not as a part of the model name. If in the specifications somewhere they do specify the real model name, there will be zero refund.

There is actually one real problem with it!!!
What Linus has mentioned are just wrong marketing and faulty advertising, but keep on reading and I will tell you.
It does lack the Ethernet transformer and it has been replaced with 4 small surface mount capacitors.
With this alteration, it will still work as an Ethernet adaptor but it does not comply with the Ethernet standard ( IEEE802.3u) anymore.
IEEE802.3u requires 1500V galvanic insulation at each device. And from a high-frequency perspective, those capacitors do not provide any high-frequency insulation at all. This also means that the user breaks all EMC emissions requirements, and for sure on conducted emissions (most likely also on the immunity side also, but maybe also on radiated emissions).
Those small surface mount capacitors do have a DC/AC insulation capacity of a maximum of 50V (more likely 16V). This means that if the switch in the other end has an insulation fault in it or if the Ethernet cable between the switch and the computer have an insulation error (partly exposed wire) and that wire is touching live wires. The entire battery operated laptop could be dangerous to touch (live voltage on the outside).
To use capacitors instead of Ethernet transformers are a clever way to reduce costs, but that trick can and should NEVER be used to anything that connects to an unknown device, internally in a machine it is just fine. But to an outside device, NEVER.
Just one thing more. Due to the stuff above it cannot be CE marked. So it would be illegal to sell it to anybody within a European Union country.
And if a normal citizen did direct imported it from DX and used it and something bad did happen, the insurance company could decline to pay up for the bad thing that did just happen...
So be aware.
Hope there's more shop videos coming up soon! I'm REALLY excited to see what Alex can do with the new and improved shop.

4:24 It says EU Plug too. And in the EU we've 230V with 16A i.e. it could pull 3680W of the gird. So yeah it's missleading and obvious for you but not for the Europeans, because we actually have products with 3680W.
YeHlWeE also it says power is greater than 1501W (>1501W) lets call linus out on his bullshit and order one and record the power consumption
Yes and no. Socket circuits are limited to 10A as standard; you only have a 16A breaker where justified, such as for the oven. Plus there is a +-10% tolerance for the mains voltage and the product can't exceed the rated current even in the +10% situation further lowering the actual usable power.
@@zwz.zdenek 10 A would still be enough for that blander though. And nowadays you sometimes have 16A breakers for everything
@@zwz.zdenek in Germany the standard socket is limited to 16A, a oven uses even more seperated on 3 phases. Only light switches are limited by 10A.

Alibaba is a wholesaler supplier, where the user is expected to message the seller to get more details. The results for a product search is often just one model of a whole line of products that the seller manufactures. It is up to the user to message back to narrow down what model you want.
Knowing that, AliExpress feels like Alibaba trying to eBay. Ali sellers are most likely not used to selling single items at a time and the results for a product search could be just one product in the line that a manufactures makes.
Also, us North Americans are pampered when it comes to assuming electrical standards,

Scratching "Micro controllers" lol
Linus you do this everytime... :D..
Though sites like DX or Aliexpress aren't exactly the place you should search for high performance components, at least with Ali Express there is a well-functioning dispute function, and you can dispute without sending the item back, just take a picture of the wrong item/defect/a screenshot of low performance etc. as documentation.
Came in the comments to say exactly this. I have no experience with DX, but most items on AliExpress are covered by their customer protection, and if you don't receive an item or you receive something that's wrong or false advertised, you are 99.99999999% sure to get your refund (without even having to ship back to China the item).
To be fair to the blender. If it is German or eu focused or whatever, it's 220 V not 120. Ignoring it's own description of course.
they havent even gotten the flag right on the product.
I feel for americans who can only pull 1500W on 1 breaker.
You can get heavier breakers, but on average you really don't need to be pulling more.
@@AsamiImako my vacuum cleaner is 2200W... Seriously...
@@demolilyofficial Still, a standard breaker in Europe can do 3000W continuously, without any issues. I have literally one wall socked that I plug a couple of socket bricks into, and into that are plugged in a gaming PC, a monitor, a printer, an amplifier for speakers, a TV, a couple of external hard drivers, phone chargers, etc. And all that without any issues and it runs like that for years. Anything under 2000W is just low and doesn't allow you to use even all the home appliances properly.
Getting shocked hurts less here haha
@@ryanbernard6550 Sure, but only because the voltage is only 110V instead of 230V (Still a lot though).

4:15 Kitchen plugs are usually on a 20A breaker not a 15A breaker, so the 1500w rule generally doesn't apply. Additionally Kitchens run thicker gauge wires to deal with the increased loads from blenders, Toasters, etc all running at same time, and typically separated on multiple breakers across the plugs avaliable in a Kitchen.

Trotsky Tech Tips confirmed.
4:20 would just like to point out that based on the plug choices and brand name, that blender is probably intended for EU markets, and in here we have 230 V power, not 120 V. Which makes that 2200 W power figure go just under 10 A, which is a common breaker current limit among with 16 A, with which you would be more than fine. That 1500 W number on the specs might be based on the choice of plug you choose above. So that power might just be limited on 120 V power grids but it might still actually be a 2200 W blender.

The beauty about eBay is if you get one of these misleading products, its not hard to get a refund. If its from China its very unusual for them to bother to ask for a return, often they will try to barter a partial refund but if you persist you will get a full one, as per eBay rules.

They are a good source for stuff like key caps and headphone ear-cushion replacements.
If you do your research, you can actually get some pretty decent stuff. Brands like ugreen and orico are great.
Goodbye Linus, live from Europe..

@@fusionid6647 Article 13
dude, how about following politics? then you would know they changed article 13
Article 13 is a law that will check everything on the web, also CZcams. Here is a explaination: czcams.com/video/J4DhecQQjdM/video.html
@Gunjan Kayarkar oh its a directive that basically shuts up all of europe in order to help the "little guys" (small creators) against the behemoths (media giants) so that "everyone wins" Even tho we dont
Correction the most power you can draw from a 120v outlet (120v would be about 1800 watts and 125v would be about 1875 watts) depending on the voltage the wattage may vary (I have 125v here but I go 8blocks away and have 120v)
On the topic of reviews, I've seen reviews on Wish where people ordered electronics and gave stuff 5 stars just for the package being delivered, also admitting they haven't tested their thing yet

Also be mindful of your local consumer law. In Australia for example that would qualify as an automatic refund for false or misleading advertising. No return shipping required.
well, it's a scam, but it's not too bad for 4$
@hdjdi lopo Technically nobody said that it can actually transfer 10gb, only that it can adapt it.
Bring Anthony on more episodes because that dude ROCKS!!
UP-Vote this so Linus sees it.
UP-Vote??? Its like..
I would totally watch a weekly 30min show of Anthony.
Lemme just say, I don’t think Linus will see that comment
@@mex5268 no its not a woooosh
I am glad I am not alone in wanting anthony around.
Oh my God. Thank you Linus, I probably would've ended up being scammed by thinking I'm buying legit no brand stuff on those sites.
You're my savior
Valuable content! Thank you Linus :)
I only run HDDs and dual cores. So I don't have to worry about being scammed by bleeding edge promises.💪

I mean, if you look at the title of the ethernet adapter, it very clearly says USB 2.0
USB 2.0 doesn't get anywhere near 10Gbps, so that should've told you all that you need to know.
THANK YOU
maby watch the video?
He says that in the video.
I would say that a good deal of people don't know that though. Hell i didn't know it honestly.
Linus gets more calls than most...the right hand mute maneuver is a character in this vid.
Someone that is geek enough to look for a 10Gbps adapter will be smart enough to spot the scam
