As a creator focused on tech. I get to try a bunch of tech and tech accessories that I personally find interest in and so I thought it would be interesting to show you what someone who gets to play with a lot of tech actually ends up using everyday. Let’s get started.

The best value 3-in-1 chargers I found was this no-name one off Amazon called the: Petino 3in1 Charging station. You get magnetic charging, a wireless charger for your wireless earbuds, and an apple watch charger. You can move the magnetic charger into an elevated position so that you can use your iphone in standby mode. And when you don’t want it on full display, you can collapse it.
The Moment Pro Tripod Mount for Magsafe is such a nifty tool if you’re a photographer, videographer, or someone who wants to up their social media content they generate on their phone. Basically it screws into a tripod then you can attach your phone, to record videos, or shoot photos on a tripod. With the cold shoe mount up top you can attach mics, or lights. This has made shooting videos off my phone so much easier, because it gives me all the expandability that I normally get on my mirrorless camera, right onto my iPhone.
I know for a fact, I’m not the handiest guy around but the iFixit Pro tool kit has made me super comfortable and maybe even handy with opening up my tech and digging around inside and sorting it out.
Stream decks have been a game changer in my life. Being able to have a bunch of quick, easy to access buttons that can do whatever I want is amazing. I have a button that just opens up google drive on a specific account for me. And one that opens a folder I picked on my Mac. It’s super useful in saving me a little bit of time here and there, but it adds up and makes me more productive in work, and in my own personal life.
I've started to appreciate a good mechanical keyboard. I mean, I type on a keyboard 8 hours a day. That’s how long I sleep on my mattress. I gotta find comfort in it. So I’m rocking a Keychron Q1 Pro. It’s stock, only because I haven’t found the time to start modding it. I like the Q1 Pro because it’s really nice right out of the box, but lets me switch between Mac OS and Windows layouts with a switch, and it’s wireless!
In my pocket, I almost always have the AirPods Pro 2 with me. I got the lightning version with me, cause I’m not paying $250 to get a new, slightly better version with usb-c. They’re not the best sounding wireless earbuds I’ve heard, but they’re just so convenient to have with me especially since they’re so compact. I use these when I want to focus on something. Like writing, editing, commuting downtown, relaxing on a flight. Wherever. They also do really well with devices in the apple ecosystem and lets you seamlessly switch between them. I didn’t expect for it to become such an integral part of my life. But these things have gone on more trips with me than my wife has. That sentence looked better in the script.
So that’s the tech I use everyday. These things drastically vary in price and I tried to focus more on the practical and functional aspects and despite this video being basically a roundup video, I hope it was useful to find out, behind the cameras and lights, what functionally has worked out day to day instead of what’s plastered on the front page of the channel.

So a few months ago, I was lucky enough to grab an RTX 3070 graphics card. Which is really difficult to get a hold of right now. and at retail price at that. So, that kind of made me really want to do a whole new computer build instead of upgrade my old one. Something I havent done in like 4 or 5 years. So, I sent out a quick poll on youtube and asked you, the viewer, what I should do. A video, a livestream, or return the parts so someone else could buy it. And well, this is what you wanted. If youre here to watch me fail to build a pc, youve come to the right place. Lets get started, with a little build.

8:35 Final Thoughts and Conclusions
Alright. Its been a month now and those out of stock Lian Li fans that I convinced myself I dont need and wont buy, I ended up buying anyway, and they finally made it to me all the way from China. So yeah, I went way more over budget then I intended, because I didnt realize this case didnt come with fans. Thats my own negligence. Anyway, lets see how the final product looks.
I think the overall build turned out really cool with the white theme. Honestly, super clean looking except for my terrible cable management skills. While I did stick a bunch of RGB fans in the system, I plan to keep it at a stagnant white. Because, I like the look and I think people are over the rainbow skittle puke all over their systems by this point. But, before we end this video, I just wanted to summarize this whole experience. Im not a PC building novice, but by no means am I a pro. Id like to think Im the average pc builder. There were times in previous pc builds where I put things in the wrong spots they arent supposed to be, like RAM sticks in un-optimal positions. But thats the thing right? You dont get better without trial and error and as you saw in this video, I made errors. Ive never used an AIO liquid cooler like this one before, Ive always used the default stock coolers, and it took me a solid hour to figure the AIO and get it installed, which is a long time, but hey, I got it done. Somehow. And so overall it took a good 4 hours to build this pc and get it up and running with windows. But if you really know what youre doing, you can get it up and running in 2 hours. I know a ton of non-techy people think building a pc is difficult, but it really isnt, it just takes some time and patience. If on a scale of one to ten. With one being building with legos, a five being ikea furniture, and a 10 being building a rocket ship. I think building a PC is a solid 6/10 on the difficulty scale. You just need to know what youre doing beforehand.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed watching me fail to install a cooler. How do you think the build ended up? Is there anything you would personally change? Do you like the white theme? Why or why not. Are you planning to build your own PC? Leave all that in the comment section below. If you enjoyed this video give it a thumbs up and well dont forget to subscribe. Ill see you next time.
