TikTok Tech Tips are Terrible

If you want to spice up your gaming setup, look no further than Tick Tock. They have thousands, not millions, of videos showing you how to create the best setup. It's just that some of them are better than others. Fear not, though let's grab one for the team and try out the best

tech

hacks, starting with this one from Janelle and Kate with over 883,000 likes. Why not? Also you're not doing it enough look how much they have up there well that seems like a lot look Alex I don't think there's a right way to do this but there is a right way to tell you about our sponsor vrla Tech they sent their Helios gaming PC and it's a damn beast, we're talking core I9 3900 KF GeForce RTX 4080 64 gigs of RAM and 5 terabytes of storage, if that's not what you're looking for, you can completely customize your system on their website let's go to link below.

I'm going to go ahead and say that this Tick Tock exists just to laugh at you because you ruined your keyboard. Remember that there is no wrong way to do this, do you think? I need more glue, well she has it between all the function keys and stuff too. I have it between the function keys, Alex again. I can't emphasize this enough. There's no right way to do this, so it's a nice, very nice glow. Yes, it is very nice. Uh, I need it. the next step in the instructions ah it's everywhere and she said touching the glue will protect it I think oh no yeah that's exactly what I thought was going to happen that's so bad yeah um it looks a little, oh, nailed.

I rate this Tech Tick Tock a zero. out of ten and I sincerely hope this is the worst one we are doing today as a YouTube native. I have to say, moving on to tick tock, there are some really fascinating videos that are clearly designed just to keep viewers' attention. even if nothing of value is added, but not everything in Tick Tock is intentionally bad, some things are just bad, like this nikolski monitor painting video, that's not the case, you don't want that here, wait, clear the screen, wait, she's not going to do it. paint the real panel, is it her?

The actual way to do this Tick Tock is to remove the monitor from the stand, disassemble it, which shouldn't take more than five to ten minutes with most standard monitors, paint it, and then put it back together. I noticed this monitor got a little messed up in a previous video, we should still be able to take it apart and put it back together, so the only thing this affects what we're doing today is that you might have an easier time getting things. Aside from what I am, these are Linus's

tech

nical advice, not Linus's conversations. Beautiful, one thing he did well was shake the paint can.

Something that was wrong was his work area. You always want to be in a well-ventilated workspace when working with paint. or really any other spray, ideally it should have been outside, definitely not in his room, although the fumes from the paint could be good for creativity, uh, I don't want the paint to get on this, it's always important, keep the can moving , it is much better to apply more light. layers than less heavy layers in terms of getting a decent finish, why do kids get it wrong? Look at that, for the best results you should follow the guide we did a few years ago where you disassembled the monitor with sand.

Base paint and clear coat for a professional finish. but if all you want is a quick way to change the color of your screen this will work or if you don't like painting at all there is an alternative like the one shown by tick tocker flex and Flora and you can use vinyl for many things. Plus, as Eden DIYs shows, this is one we don't even need to try to give it an eight or even a 9 out of 10 because it's something we've been doing for years. Here's the board in our construction corner that has a marble vinyl wrap on top and I bet most of you didn't even notice as you can see it's not the most durable thing in the world and realize which has nicks, scratches and scrapes all over compared to a real one. marble countertop, but unlike a marble countertop, when you get tired of it or if it gets too worn out, you can just peel it off and redo it.

The video is a bit strange, although you note that the audio only explained a Tick Tock feature it had. nothing to do with the trick, did you know that you don't have to touch the profile photo to access the person's profile? All you have to do is swipe left, they have to edit these things. You really don't have enough attention span for me. to talk and show the same thing at the same time, what about vinyl on your computer? However, if this Grim Collection video is anything to go by, it may seem sick, and we have two different types of movies here that we're watching. whether mirror or rainbow I really want to make rainbows.

The social media person says you know the mirror is truer to the original. I want to see Rainbow, it's not as rainbow as I expected. Yes, I was really hoping for a lot more rainbows. more like your aunt's shower, yeah, oh, okay, wait a second, oh, there we go, okay, it's on uh, okay, so I've never actually applied one of these before, that's all, That's all they're giving me. Our sponsor, vrla tech, asked to be included. on tic tac tricks, uh, I suspect ruining its side panel wasn't what they had in mind, it's already a perfectly good computer and this probably isn't necessary.

I mean, you know, I'm getting it, oh God. uh oh shit you got this, I put it on the wrong side, we're a little short here and to think without Tick Tock I wouldn't be having as much fun with Tick Tock, a middle aged man struggles to apply rainbow vinyl. I'm not middle-aged. -aged but just cut out all the other stuff and show this which was a test fit. Now we are going to put water on the surface and on the vinyl to show you how it is done correctly. We were just seeing how many of you are going to comment before watching the full video, here we go and oh that came out a little okay wow I think that might be our first 10 out of 10. vla tech offers a lot of options on their site with different fans, coolers, gpus ram storage etc, the standard Helios comes in the o11 dynamic so it's a bigger version but they shipped it in the air mini because that's the kind of thing you can do, you can have Intel or AMD ddr4 ddr5, they give you all the options and have very competitive prices, they not only have gaming PCs but also workstations, so whether it is for work or play, there is something for everyone and if there is something you want that isn't listed on the site, they will still be happy to install custom parts.

For the customer, they just need to inform customer service and they will take care of it. The 200 customers who use the code Linus can get a hundred dollars off their PC from vrla Tech using the link below if they are not satisfied with the treadmill. on your monitor and computer, although the tide bomb got you, this mouse is apparently the best for dragging and clicking according to competitive minecrafters. I had to steal this from Maria and that's some competitive mine crafting. I guess okay, the XP cone, where's our tape? Before you do this, see how fast you can click without it.

I was able to get 53, that was my record. 53 without this. There's no way I can do 53. I was a drummer for many years. Oh, I'm not going to do it. Oh my gosh, I'm not entirely sure I understand this. Oh, I'll have paint glitter and a gold Sharpie on my fingers by the end of this, so are we sure the gold Sharpie has the same thing as the silver Sharpie? I got a silver one up, oh. Wow, you're doing it at 11.6 clicks per second? It actually works. I just need to dry more. Don't know. I actually tried this for about 45 minutes yesterday and couldn't get it and now it just works fine, that's another nine. out of ten this is a sick hack, you may have noticed that so far apart from applying a couple of stickers we haven't really localized our settings, but don't worry we'll show you now on The Tick Tock at not to show you anything, look, the back of our monitor actually doesn't look bad for a 20 minute job.

I mean, it didn't do anything for the ripple, let's see how it compares to our tick-tockers version, oh no. I don't know if you're getting information, but you're oh oh no oh no oh oh you shouldn't use isopropyl alcohol on a screen. Our other ten are much better. Our next Tick Tock trick is somewhat opposite of what we've done. Done so far, the silent critic shows us instead of how to apply stickers to things how to remove them, but he is using hand sanitizer and the benefit is that it won't have any smell. I think the last one they used was like mineral oil or medicated oil, so that would be an improvement over that, but I think we'd just use 99 isopropyl alcohol, either way, we'll give hand sanitizer a try, who knows, maybe Maybe this is a great Tick Tock trick we have done.

I have some residue here, uh, what will happen when we remove it? Let's remove a sticker and then we'll apply half the residue with isopropyl and half with hand sanitizer. This is actually the perfect example of the kind of thing you'd want to remove with this method overall pretty good sticker came off okay but there's definitely some residue here we go hand sanitizer man if you don't want residue obviously no you should use hand sanitizer, yes they have it. They contain alcohol, but they're also full of aloe vera, scents, and things that people want to keep their hands from drying out instead of just alcohol.

To be fair, that worked reasonably well, the question is whether you're trying. put alcohol on something where did it go why not just put alcohol on something sacred Alex no it's not, it's not, no, it's not better, it's not better, what's in you, purified water, carbamart, glycerin, oh, interesting, that actually works great, it could be just as simple as having a thicker consistency so the alcohol doesn't evaporate as quickly and almost gives you a little more scrubbing power, but it legitimately works better, eight out of ten, eight out of ten, I can. I don't think so, it's not what I expected, let's see what we have next.

Carter PCS who I follow. I have no idea who he is, but hey, I'm not complaining. Can these birds please shut up? What I'm doing is talking fluff for a moment, but anyway, if anyone from LTT is watching this, I should mention a few things. First of all, I am very against cable ties, which could be sacrilege. Atlantis Media Group, but you know, teams move away quickly, and secondly, I know Linus loves Brown. change wait what wait who is this guy do you think he is against cable ties? Linus professional bridles we can play a game.

Should we stop following him now? Oh, the power is in your hands. Wait. I haven't seen the rest of this. Alright. Wait. Now that I think about it, this video is just to say thank you for following me and I only gave you four reasons to unfollow me. I'm so stupid, okay, wait, okay, Alex, you want to take the other side, sure? right, Carter PC, you're welcome to follow, but you're on the chopping block here, you've given us plenty of reasons to unfollow you, you don't like Cherry Browns, that's actually not that controversial nowadays. I'm not.

I'm going to count that, hey, the cable ties, although I'm very upset, I can't count, he gave two reasons to unfollow, he says he gave four absolutely, this, this right here, this is bad, I can't count, it means We can't count on you, why do we follow you in the first place? I have no idea he referred to us as Michael Jordan. I didn't hear that that wasn't a different Tick Tock, but he referred to you and Jay's two cents as Michael Jordan. I hate it when Bonafide Tech YouTubers come to tick like the two of Jay's.

Linus sensor or dispersed, for example, look, I'm a youth basketball coach and I'm teaching these nine-year-old kids, you know, with your elbow, flick your wrist, blah, blah, blah, and then Michael Jordan walks into the gym and starts telling these kids, "It's okay." you should also do this this and this is Michael Jordan, I learned it from him, okay, it's neutral, good content, although for technical talks, okay, he keeps track, keeps track below, we have several products that you need buy, which are definitely real things that this person actually uses and not just Amazon affiliate bait. Five useful devices from Amazon.

Did we really buy that for your Zoom meetings? With a single touch you can mute and unmute and open and close the video, you don't need dedicated buttons, no you don't want to, why do you put a sticker there like that? Organized, it will rub the bottom of your thing. Next up is this portable charger with three built-in cables and you can plug it in. this directly to the wall to charge what was that I just looked at this one we actually have oh well it doesn't charge your airpods wait it doesn't oh no no I don't see contacts I thought your case was gone in it it just holds your airpods, It is not like this?

It would also drain the battery because it would still be connected when onthat way. Yeah, no, I think they should go into standby mode. Furthermore, these will be lost. Five, sure, there's no way I wouldn't do it. I don't need an iPhone and airpods to know that an airpod holder that doesn't charge your airpods is a stupid rechargeable hand warmer for gamers. I've only been there for 30 seconds and no, we're not going to use hot water because don't do that. Instead, why don't you, why don't you? Here is a cheap hand warmer that you can buy on Amazon and it is also very cheap, oh well, a cheap hand warmer that is also very cheap is only 20 dollars and two pieces, yes, five thousand milliamp hoursEven as a battery bank , this might make sense assuming the capacity is real.

It's getting hot. I can feel the current flowing. Alex. I give this one a two out of 10. If you're a real gamer, you know how to do this. warm your hands so now it's time for some software hacks do this so your friends think you're hacking no need full screen okay and i don't need this audio eh that's just a list of the directories on the computer, I really love this one because it's so much worse than just using a typescript hacker and also so much harder, well we're supposed to get it right, yeah, why do you change the color again?

I'm hacking I'm hacking the Mainframe. The real way to do this is to go to hackertyper.com and start typing as a hacker. Tell me you're a hacker without telling me you're a hacker. I want to read this New York Times. article but requires a paid account switch.com to.com dot slash and shout I'm silent does this really work? Is it that easy because I've been going into incognito mode and then just switching to my mobile network at any time? I need to read something. Honestly, I haven't checked it because it's too easy and too stupid.

If it only works with just one dot, just put a dot there, that can't be right, no, no, it didn't work, that didn't work. I'm not surprised, but I am disappointed that they apparently fixed this zero-out-of-ten trick. Fun fact about Samsung phones. Wait a second. I can get a photo of a chihuahua on my phone. Wait a second. Wait, so that's life. changing asterisk pound zero asterisk pound wait, wait, how do I get the dog? I want the dog and you click on the image test. Oh, I have the dog. Yes, I think it is quite useful.

Okay, so we have a quality control menu as a diagnostic. menu on my Samsung phone I've never accessed this before I'm giving this a solid eight and a half I like Black now with a hundred percent more oh god how can I get out? Oh my lock button isn't even doing anything I'm putting you down this is now a hack out of six out of ten try it at your own risk oh wait emergency SOS what the hell don't you stop I like it eight and a half out of ten hello I'm the privacy of data from Caitlin's group and protection expert and I want to show you what Google knows, come on, you're going to type on this website at settings.google.com, come on, oh, I should do it on my phone, so, hey, okay, Add themes for your role playing vehicle parts and accessories games. -play massively multiplayer games online games minimalist theme Here Motor vehicles home audio and video laptops industrial products and manufacturing video game consoles mobile phones accessories shooting games web design and development web hosting and flashlight apps okay, we probably don't need apps flashlight, how about it?

You have to be more into car stuff than me, what I found interesting about mine is that it's completely different from my work to my personal account, just like the personal account, it's like my income is high, for some reason, my another is medium tall, okay, they both think. I'm a homeowner, which is not a real small employer, small employer, yeah, oh, that's how you work, yeah, oh, okay, oh, mail 35 to 44. Oh my goodness, now Mary Bachelor's degree with highs income, no, there is not enough industry to discover my information and believe I work for a large employer.

It's good, you know, I think the bottom line is that you can tell them what information you want them to have, which is good, and finally, a customer of ours brought us a gaming PC and told us that he was having some problems. a gamertech Toronto FPS repair shop after starting Call of Duty. I noticed some FPS drops and a couple of stutters in general, when this happens the first thing you should do is check for graphics driver updates when updating your graphics drivers. click express install, click custom and click this clean install. This will completely remove your old graphics driver from the system and reinstall the new one from the client, well this is a pretty good gaming package.

I'm going to try to do a BIOS update, this is pretty good. Tech tip, yes this is really good, yes nine out of ten, ten out of 10. Update your drivers, your BIOS, great job. What got me about this case was that someone brought his PC. at a tech repair shop to update their drivers oh yeah, oh yeah that man, you'd be surprised if you enjoyed this video. You might also enjoy the Tick Tock tricks, part one, which had worse. I think it's quite debatable.
