no, if you think like him then you two are both trash. The gadget was cool and its features (but i don't agree to the price), but just because you are buying it without knowing it won't be applied to the games you play in your phone and making a video about it just pretty dumb stupid.

Razorblade scraper works great and will remove the glue. Also takes off those pesky registration and other window stickers, stickers on chrome bumpers, cleans glass oven tops and soapscum off glass showers. About $10.
I've found most of those smart light bulbs are more trouble than they are worth - they lose connection to Wifi far too often, don't work at all if the internet goes out, and you have to remember NOT to turn the light switch off (using the voice commands/app instead) so they won't lose connection. I've found smart plugs (connected to lamps) seem to be somewhat more reliable in staying connected, but what I've found works best is those remote control electrical plugs (like you buy for indoor Christmas lights). You can get like a five pack that can be connected to various lamps throughout the house and all controlled with one remote. As long as you have power, they work basically every time (and most of them use RF signal so the remote gets surprisingly good range). Not to mention a lot more plugs for your money. Only downside is lack of scheduling options or color changing options (though you can buy led strips with their own remote to get around that).
I switched from Philips Hue to Lifx because the Lifx bulbs were actually cheaper than the Hue bulbs, and I’ve never regretted it. They’ve always worked for me. The only problems I’ve encountered with them was when I had to switch WiFi networks, which is a process that requires you to reset the bulb by turning it on and off at the switch 5 times. The bulb is very finicky during this process, and on two occasions, the bulbs themselves actually died and wouldn’t reboot. Fortunately their warranty is AMAZING and they sent me free replacements for them both times. And for warranty replacement bulbs, they have their own brand new warranty, rather than carrying over from the old one. I love them.
Ikr. Like, when he were talking slowly, building up suspense and tension, I legit thought he was gonna say that THAT thing does not have controllers or the wireless charging is not reliable or the build quality isn’t good, but PORTRAIT? SERIOUSLY?! Like, I don’t have anything against portrait games but you cannot shit on a product that does not work for you personally because the product isn’t catered towards you. You cannot trash a product that is actually good and has an audience but just isn’t catered towards YOU personally. It’s like saying medications are shit because you aren’t shit and you don’t need them. C’mon. Also, it REALLY REALLY easy to see the product’s images and actually figure out that the thing does not work with portraits. How dumb can you be that you cannot figure THIS simple thing out? Also, I find it weird that he’s a PC gamer but plays casual portrait games on his phone rather than landscape shooters lol.
Yep first one was silly, it's obviously not going to work in portrait mode only games (not the device fault for blind purchase that he didn't understand what it was for) it's meant for games like pubG and Call of Duty type of games
For the Harmon mount in the car, use a heat gun on the outside part of the windshield to soften the adhesive and then get a thin metal pry tool to get it off
7:38 I’ve used a smart battery case on my XS Max since the day it was released and I have never had any issues it’s worked flawlessly for nearly two years.
For that windshield piece all you need is a razer blade with the handle , like if you wanted to remove stickers off your windshield. And possible use a liquid or a steam gun maybe even just a heat gun tbh .but it will come off its not permanent
Hashem Abd El Hafiz average isn’t for the price or purchasing behaviour. Average is because he explains the technology for average consumers who aren’t technical.
I have lifx and i can partly agree but it’s a massive loss because I can’t afford to buy anything else. What really pisses me off is that the only thing I didn’t check before buying it was the reviews.
I mean... If you aren't gonna use the HyperX phone grip thing... you can send it over to me or smth HAHAHAH I got a lot of games that are landscape jkjk
The sticky pad could probably be removed with a little elbow grease, heat the adhesive up from the outside with a heat gun (car window glass is tolerant to high temperature so damage shouldn't occur, unless you add fluid when hot), and pry the pad off with a plastic tool
I've seen a variant of the 'smart' trash cans that just have an proximity sensor on top, so if you pass your hand or garbage over it the lid opens for you. Much more consistent if you still want to find something similar.
$1 razor scrapper from any auto parts store will remove anything stuck to glass. Missing small components like that does not limit you from returning, especially from Amazon or big box stores.
I agree on the Smart Battery Case. If you have an IPhone 8, X or XS, you’re better off investing on a 12w/18w adapter. It’s a lot cheaper and charging your phone nearly 3x as fast is a one way trip.
I use the iPhone XS Smart Battery case for my iPhone X it’s working great for 2 years now. No issues, it’s life changing, unlimited untethered battery life. Best purchase I had in a while.
lol I love how every video "we are doing something a little bit different" lol 😂 It would make a dope drinking game, drink for every-time he starts a video with that phrase....🤣
Totally disagree with LIFX, biggest issue is the price. It’s your setup and wiring/bulb connection. If it’s an Edison screw, more than likely the tab inside your lamps bulb connector has been crushed. Turn off/disconnect the lamp and take an insulated flat screw driver to pry the tab up up a little. The control unit for the strip light may need to be replaced, contact LIFX. Highly recommend flic switch integration too.
Hey man love the vids, suggestion for the piece that’s stuck on ari’s windshield, use some fishing line and it will help remove the sticky substance and will release that particular piece.
For the magnet mount, see if you can point a heat gun at it for a bit (paired with some pliers or something) to weaken the adhesive before removing it. Should let you remove it without much fuss then.
One of my biggest regrets is my smartwatch lol, & my dumb*ss didn't return it in time so now I'm stuck wit it 😭... Love the people around you, and cherish the moments you get to spend with them ¡Peace, love and more life to everyone out there, stay safe! 👊🏿🙏🏿❤️
how to get the garmin base off the window. I work as a detailer and we deal with these on a regular basis. We most often use single-edged razor blades.

TOP TIP... USE FISHING WIRE OR STRONG COTTON . MAKE A TIGHT LINE ACROSS TWO HANDS SIDE BEHIND THE THING STUCK TO WINDSCREEN USE SAW MOTION TO CUT OFF. THEN STICKY REMOVER TO GET OFF EXCESS GLUE
Yep I agree, LIFX has awful connectivity issues! Also, I’ve had 9 A19 LIFX completely fail on me. However, they’re costumer service is great and I’ve gotten all my failed lights replaced.
I had the same experience with these bulbs. I switched to TP link and haven't had any problems. I also have some Wyze bulbs that work great and neither need a hub.
It is possible to get some strong test fishing line and run it back/forth to pop that base off. Once you do that, get a razor blade and some window cleaner or alcohol and get that residue off.
Now I regret buying these products because they didn’t work for ME but if you had better luck, then great 👍🏾
