Gaming on a Chinese/English Translator Pen 

Thanks to Opera for sponsoring today's video! Check out Opera One here: opr.as/Opera-browser-Bringus-Studios

Imagine sitting next to bringus on a plane while he’s sitting there playing half-life on his pen

I never thought games would run as well as they did on that reusable pregnancy test, I mean scan translator

14:33 if only you had some kind of translation device at hand at that time

I'm actually impressed it has Bluetooth and they don't even advertise it. It's like these things are so common nowadays so who cares

Gaming on weird hardware is the best!

Imagine telling somone from 1998 that they will be able to play Half Life in 60fps on a translator pen 25 years from now. They would have called you nuts. And now extrapolate that to the year 2050.

the fact that a translator pen is more powerful than the Trimble Yuma is impressive

i love the fact that some kind of translator device has better ps1 emulation that new3ds

9:33 Calling 8.1 ancient makes me feel like a corpse. I still have a phone running KitKat (4.4 iirc)

@5:06 The company name Xue Zhi You (学之友) means “Studying Friend”. No it is not pronounced that way lol

play doom on a pregnancy test

reason these headphones look almost identical is because those shells more than likely come from a factory that also supplies the assembly of genuine apple headphones so they arent really a copy, but a repurposed part

Next time use Web Adb and scrypy then you can use home buttons and rotate. Also theres just adb commands you can use to do stuff like button presses on the phone.

This reminds me of when I used ADB to turn an old digital picture frame (Android 5.1!) into a “normal” wall-powered Android tablet. Never managed to get Google Play Services set up, but I did manage to get more use out of it. I used a button remapper eventually to turn the play/pause button into a home button, remapped a couple other buttons, then just installed Launcher3. Home button presses can be simulated with ADB for devices that don’t have a hardware or software home button. For me the launcher settings and navbar were missing and I had to delete the original launcher app and try to trigger the pop up for launcher selection with ADB I basically experienced all the same weird oddities. The ApkInstaller app, lack of *proper* root, no notification area (except on the Lock Screen), no navigation bar, and having no way to really fix these. The ApkInstaller app can dump apk’s though, which is pretty cool

Run a game on a pregnancy test

By the looks of the app icon, the touch keyboard that was installed was a Mainland China release of TouchPal that came preset to input Chinese instead of English. I do remember that there's a global version of it available on the Play Store. Also, your issues with non-working OTG reminded me of the lack of OTG support on Likebook e-readers that used Rockchip RK3368, those being the Mars, Mimas, Muses, Alita, and Ares Note. All of them didn't have USB hosting capabilities. At this point, I won't be surprised if that was a common thing with Rockchip SoCs. (15:07) Yep, that's another Samsung One UI feature that I find annoying.

If your mind is blown by the sketchy Chinesium earpods, I'd LOVE to see you take a trip to Shenzen and see the markets, if you haven't seen Scotty at Strange Parts' videos about it them I think you'd love it, I can't wait to go to China again because Shenzen is electronics / computing / project / tooling / weird obscure parts etc HEAVEN Also I'm both impressed and loving the upload schedule my guy!, so glad I came across your channel :)

A large part of the reason i love your content, is the memes scattered every few moments. Never stop

"Hey bro, did you just get a new phone?" "Yes, a chinese translator pen"

just imagine pulling this out in school and showing your mates half life at 60fps running on a translator pen

Have you tried gaming on Ouya? That paperweight runs android and can _technically_ play a few games

as a human, i absolutely love the earpod design. not even joking. they comfy af and stay in my ears.

It probably didn't make sense to have rotation if you are in weird positions scanning documents

Oh they didn't go through the effort to clone the headphones I can almost guarantee they used the same molds

4:26 Also the letter "L or R" in the fake one is bolder than the OEM. I know this because i used counterfeit earpods before, and also if there's an inline remote on the fake ones, they'll sound horrible and cheap compared to the OEM that doesn't sound clicky and doesn't feel plastic-y at all when you click it.

God i love your videos dude. And i LOVE how excited you get about this stuff! Gaming on unlikely devices has always had a certain intrigue to me so i really relate to how hyped you get about each small step 😄

Wipeout pure is my favorite PSP game, seeing it on such a goofy device really warms my heart. Wonderful!

This was awesome! Really cool to see how capable that thing is

“I HARDLY KNOW HER” 😂💀

apple started manufacturing usbc earpods a few months back. so they definitely have the molds. also, just look at the connector to check if it has squircle corners or fillets to see if it might be from an apple mold.

Now I’m wondering if you can run Doom on a Fitbit.

This was comedy gold, thanks for showing us _true_ gaming! XD

Thank you for the consistency with your amazing videos!

I've legitimately been using earpod clones for years because it's like the only earbud design that doesn't have rubber tips which block out too much noise and just feel uncomfortable to me.

Keep them videos up man we love em

Man.. You're just entertaining us.. Keep it up. More of this please.

Bringus is the Dankpods of gaming

Someone ported the full Source Engine to Android, meaning you can run Half Life 2 and Portal on Android, and it works fairly well. I'd love to see you try it out on this thing.

Found this video after watching the trying to install steam on my worst laptop video and bro you're my favorite RU-vid now, entertaining and smart af. Can't wait for the next upload

You had me at 2 TF2 references in a row while also managing to genius your way into a BB one as well. Applauds, good sir. Applauds.

the funny thing is, alot of android based devices like this one come pre rooted (they have to root it in order to do something to it that is required for it to work and then they just don't un-root it), so you could possibly do this with even more devices

I'd love to see you try display over usb and see if that would work. also seeing it fully mounted to a controller would be kinda awesome. nice find!

Keep on the good work man, such an entertaining video

You're gonna be a successful channel and I'm happy to come along for the ride

next video: gaming on a battery

Love the effort. I also tinker, but this is better then my skill. Well done!

I Literally just subscribed to you right now, and i cant stop watching your videos, they are so smart unic and funny asf love your content keep up the great job ✌️🙏

Almost at 100K, congrats Bringus

“If it has transistors, it can game” -the community

"Xue Zhi You" should be "学之友" which means "friend of learning", showing that it is a learning assistant tool. And it is hilarious that at about 7:51 the Chinese you put on screen actually means gambling rather than gaming.

love this one bringus keep em coming

Congrats on 100K!

I fucking love the Apple wired headphones, the ONLY earphones that don’t fall out of my ear. All the rubber ones do to varying degrees

15:14 “money”

I needed this today. Thank you, my overtime is now tolerable.

Lmao bro you zip the scanner so fast 10/10 video man ❤️

Android 8.1.0 out of the box supports GSI Treble ROMs. Also, I have it saved somewhere. There's an ADB command you can use to get straight t developer options and check for OEM Lock

Kinda funny how the regular opera is just turning into opera gx 2 but in a different look. the only differences between GX and the regular opera (which one is an update of) are the tab bundles and the AI being used is another one. I just use both switching from time to time for no reason.

I subscribed . i'm here for this content. . . because you're right. No where else on youtube, will i ever see someone playing indiana jones lego on a chinese english tranlator. This video is oddly inspirational :D Thank you !

Absolute banger vid again. 10/10

I was wondering if it would’ve been possible to use the red and blue mic buttons as media keys

I was so surprised it was on 8.1 instead of 4.4.1, then he called it ancient. Not sure how to feel about that right now.

You had probably predicted the type-c earpods in the past you are genius man!

this was a fucking delight, thank you

10:52 just got me 😂😂😂 You are hilarious! Would love to see more quirky Android devices get a similar treatment.

Looks like it’d make for a nice small MP3 player with power amp.

It's been a while since I clicked on a thumbnail so fast, great video!

bro reached 100k, congrats!

4:47 those are literally the only headphones that stick in my ears. The new stupid jelly things either fall out immediately or I have to shove them deep in my ear canal and they still fall out after a minute or two

4:46 not a SINGLE living soul at my high school ever struggled with these buds staying in their ears, except for me. THANK YOU for saying this, I feel vindicated.

okay bringus i have got to say you are genuinly a top 5 electronics channel, you dont use super expensive tools and make funny jokes. i just watched one of you videos and i am hooked forever, you are now one of my usual channels to watch! :D

RU-vid algorithm was actually useful once and showed me your account. Love your vids. Greetings from Germany

9:21 this SoC (RK3326) supports OpenGLES 3.2, so you can run Source Engine games on it, like Half Life 2, Portal, Counter Strike Source But of course unplayable, it's slower than my old Galaxy S3 (which has GLES 2.0)

7:18 LOL

these pens were actually quite common at my high school (we had a huge foreign exchange program and the chinese kids all had these) they were pretty cool and worked fairly well from what i saw and they were able to use them on tests

Bro, this is the first time he seeing your videos and I got to say you were fucking hilarious. I don’t know if it’s your charm or if it’s just how you edit your videos with the little cutaways but dude it’s fucking hilarious.😂😂😂 I definitely subscribe

4:52 The design is very human

The original Apple Earpods actually fit my ears perfectly, so much so that I use them with my Android phone. Though, with it being a Samsung S23 Ultra, it unfortunately has no headphone jack, so I have to also carry around a 3.5mm to USB-C adapter, but the Apple adapter has a very low volume on my phone. So a USB-C Earpod clone is quite interesting to me, though I doubt it's good quality. Also, I'd still need 3.5mm for older devices anyway. If only there was an adapter with both USB-C and 3.5mm as outputs, so I don't have to keep attaching/detaching it all the time. Or if Samsung brought back the headphone jack, and microSD card slot while they're at it. And of course, USB-C adapters would still work even with a headphone jack on the phone, in case anyone has a higher quality DAC in their external adapter.

Dude this is actually amazing wtf.

Thank you for your service, sir 🙋‍♂

5:37 - this "bubble" looks like there is a camera beneath the lcd. pretty scary

that get rotated meme got me. had to subscribe after that.

Brooo like seriously you are amazing. 🤩

When talking about the apple earbuds you said NOBODY LIKES THESE THINGS. But l actually loved them and preferred them over plunger earbuds all through high-school until i eventually got air-pods (same fit and shape but no wire so less likely to get pulled out of ear.) LOVE the shape and feelings. super comfortable. For me. Just wanted to speak for everyone who likes the apple ear buds :P

Gonna' be real: I thought it was a _giant pregnancy test_ from the thumbnail...

I'm not gonna lie, you are probably the most entertaining RU-vidr I have recently found

Good video as always!

17:40 convinced me to sub =)

0:09 I wonder what is that thing thats blurred.

this channel is awesome!

can't wait for gaming on a digital kettle

3:38 they already predicted this before the event

3:53 They do now!

Love this video I think this is just funny that ur able to play games on the thing never would've thought of that

New favourite channel 🤣

9:48 man included mario galaxy music

This video made my month bro. This is exactly what I would love to do with my life if I had the time and money. Thasnk you for a great watch !

The phoenix wright during the inspection of the earpods is amazing

5:11 as a native chinese speaker, this segment is wrong in more ways than i can describe.
