We bought a whole bunch of weirdly shaped, oddly advertised, and strangely use-cased Android Tablets from AliExpress. Is the Android on them legit? Do they serve their purpose well? Are they just another hunk of plastic and metal doomed to find its way to the land where tablets go to perish?

The Tent tablet can be used at stores as a screen to display what is being ordered while the cashier controls the other side, allowing you to input as well. Can be used at restaurant tables to place orders too.

A couple'a years ago, I bought one of those rugged Windows tablets for around $200. We used it in our biosafety lab for taking notes and keeping track of experiments. Since it was waterproof, we could just douse it in Ethanol or Virkon after each use, wipe it off, and have it good to go again. And since it had a resistive touch-screen, it even worked while we were wearing gloves. Sure it was slow as heck and the battery life was terrible, but honestly, for what we needed it to do, it worked great for years and I'm quite happy these odd types of tablets exist.

@alexatkin Год назад

Though it has to be noted that waterproof does not mean all liquid proof. There's always a chance using anything other than water can damage the plastics or touchscreen coating. Phones claiming to be waterproof always bug me as they will show things like them getting dropped in the swimming pool and then in the small print point out that the rating is only for pure water, not chlorinated. This is the particularly annoying with smartwatches as swimming with them seems logical for fitness tracking, but many are not rated for the pressure you will put on them when swimming, even when marketed as a sports watch. Heck, they're not even guaranteed sweat proof.

@@alexatkin My Sony Xperia phone had that disclaimer too while all advertising pretended it would work. That's why they often claim it as 'water proof' instead of providing an actual IP - rating, which itself doesn't say a lot either (30 minutes at 1 meter depth) and comes with the same disclaimers. There are more IP ratings but consumer devices rarely gp there ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_code )

@veryboringname. Год назад

The doorstop one has plenty of space inside so I wired up an RFID reader internally and used it as a time clock for staff to clock in and out. I bought another one to use as a Zello to Windows gateway. Once set up it barely requires any intervention so it's like a NUC plus touchscreen in one unit which is more convenient than a NUC as the footprint is small and you can see what's happening on the screen. It has been running 24/7 for the past 4 years with no issues. They obviously don't have wall mounts because if you mounted them on the wall, they'd be angled towards your chest. They're meant to be placed on a desk or counter top.

Great video as normal. I have content suggestion. "How rugged is a rugged phone?". It would be interesting to see you all putting rugged phones through their paces. Just think of all the tests you could dream up in the lab for them (stock prrof, water proof, dust proof, being buried in concrete and then dug up, hot and cold temperature tolerance, the list does on and on). Interesting side note. Some rugged phones have thermal camera.

@NotTheStinkyCheese 11 месяцев назад

I think we all know the answer to that question ... ;) If the ratings are real then they're tested in lab-environments (and easily replicated) ... so you might have to go 'realistic' to get results. If they're not ... Either way we could get glorious slow motion videos of devices being destroyed :D

@arbington Год назад

The tent and the door stoppers I immediately recognized as the kind of tablets they’d have on your table to pay and order at a restaurant like Chili’s or Applebee’s, I know exactly what’s up with them from the start. The other ones though look decently rugged and I am intrigued.

@p_mouse8676 Год назад

I have to admit that this is one of those videos were the purpose beats me. Just making fun of stuff? It's that I actually wish they did a bit more research and show and teach us what those things are actually being used for. Wireless payments and interaction for example is also such a high standard in a lot of Asian countries, culture there is also very different. So you definitely don't sit side by side looking at kitchens or real-estate. Aaaaanyway, interesting to see, that's for sure! 😎😄

@arbington Год назад

I dunno if I’d go that far necessarily. I knew what was up with most of the products already just in my own fairly limited knowledge of the tech world, but I can still see where the video serves a purpose in terms of educating people with really no basic knowledge at all on what’s out there. It’s something which would appeal more to the uninitiated layperson than someone with even moderate experience, but that doesn’t mean it’s useless it just means it’s introductory content. And in that way it makes sense that it wouldn’t be a very deep dive into the topic and more a simple hardware showcase. People can learn more about it later, a good number of them only just found out that a tablet with a built in tent stand exists it’ll be a sec before they can wax poetic about industry standards for barcode scanners. lol

@TevelDrinkwater Год назад

Industrial automation has a lot of serial, RS232 and RS485. I've noticed lots of Point Of Sale gear seems to stick with old reliable serial as well. These are definitely not for watching RU-vid, Linus does note there isn't mounting built in.

10:35 a SDR will help you find out if its actually transmitting. There are some incredibly cheap but still decent SDRs called the RTL-SDR you can pick up for under 40 dollars. Those licence free "walkie talkies" have different frequency ranges per country but my assumption is the module inside it is designed for VHF/UHF ham radio bands so no HF/shortwave. HF Bands also need massive antennas to transmit. If anyone in your office has a ham licence, give it to them and they will probably be able to get it to transmit on the ham bands.

@Jamon1916 Год назад

We use a tablet similar to the yellow one in the fire service here in the US. Actual working models are very useful for communication and resource management.

@melissablick779 Год назад

The walkie Talkie tablet has a DMR radio in it, which typically costs upwards of C$300. Also, you need a commercial or amateur radio license to transmit on those frequencies. ISED and local police/fire/businesses/ham's might get upset if you transmit on their frequencies.

@alexusman Год назад

Their radio was DMR too (cp200d). The question is, have they tried both analog and digital. Probably only analog.

@melissablick779 Год назад

@@alexusman They downloaded the official Mototrbo software used for programming motorola commercial radios. It's possible this android tablet replicates the programming interface used by handheld motorola radios. But you're right the screenshot doesn't include color codes. Likely none of the folk on the writing team have an amateur radio license.

@BrianNaeem Год назад

I assume they bought the radios from a reputable reseller so they probably have a license to use those frequency, the probably didn't program the tablet as DMR, or didn't add the color codes.

@alexusman Год назад

@@melissablick779 nah, you can't program other radios with MotoTRBO CPS.

I ran an undergard physics laboratory - these type of devices would be perfect for interfacing with lab equipment, such as oscilloscopes etc. (many of which still have serial interfaces) - as long as software is available.

The rugged tablet form, would also be useful for taking the experiment out of the lab and into the field.

I remember when those wedge/doorstop devices were new. I actually liked the form factor and the extra ports compared to a traditional tablet. I also liked the idea of no battery so it could be kept in service for a long time, if desired, without battery issues coming up. I could have used one of those too as I was having some major back pain that made sitting upright using a laptop difficult. I didn't get a regular tablet for a little bit. But I did like that form factor, at least in theory. I might have gotten one, but I didn't like that they all seemed to be dual boot(I wanted Android only) and were using the old Intel Atom chips and they didn't seem to be looking to update them. Of course, most of that comes down to the situation with Windows licenses for small devices at the time.

Tablets 1 and 3 don't really need volume buttons because they're kiosks which will have the volume muted. Tablet/Kiosk 1 doesn't have a home button because you don't want users quitting out of the app your are running. Tablet/Kioski 3 mirrored display could be so a user can checkin and security/receptionist can see what they are inputting as they input. Why no batteries? Linus mentioned permanent install. But beyond that, some Kiosk software licenses limit the location where it can be used, so you don't want people taking the tablet to a second location via battery.

@jackkraken3888 Год назад

The one thing it got right that these did not IMO was the ability to have it stand up for cross-room viewing, then flop it down for interacting more closely. Our standards were lower pre-ipad, but the ability to flip orientations on the Dash made it an almost pretty decent alarm clock/pandora/email feed/netflix device.

The doorstopper ones are great for deploying in a floor where you need to tick things on a system. Nice self contained boxes that are good enough for most floor PC usage, that are easy enough to deploy and to replace as long as you have a power outlet (specially the windows one)

Linus' face in a serial port with his eyes in the screw mounts made me spit my drink out. Thanks LMG editors, now my Northern Lights deskmat(TM) is soaked in cola.

I feel like the only reason you would need to have a rain proof tablet is if you had a food truck.

A lot of automotive diagnostics computers/tablets look just like that one.

Only Linus buys 5 tablets to ask "why do they look like this". Either he's slowly going insane or has already gone insane

@xrismanessa3993 4 месяца назад

Those are used in stores as point of sale and you can you them as scale interface too, scale software on it and scale connected to it via serial port or usb for weight transmission.

@mathiasbmx1 Год назад

the 2 rugged looking ones are often used by mechanics as a mobile obd2 tester that you can take in the car when searching for various errors. We have a similar looking one to the yellow in our shop

@stapuft Год назад

the dual screened triangle shaped placard looking one is OBVIOUSLY for table top advertising, at restaurants and the like, as a replacement for those plastic triangle number placards and/or those also triangle shaped advertisements that try to sell you on whatever the current special item is.

We have these "door stop" and "rugged" tablets here in Pakistan. They sometimes come with built-in bio-metric sensors or mostly usb ones. They are used by telecom companies to register phones and sim cards to your national identity cards which is mandated by law.

One of my fav game youtubers recently had a poll which type of device viewers use to watch his content. More people watch stuff on tv now than on the tablet. It is a niche of a niche market now. Toddlers and half-blind elderly use them.

Yeah, tablets are better to read eBooks, comics and manga, and for drawing too, although many people do the latter with a dedicated graphic tablet on PC too.

@bobbyhinner3225 Год назад

The tent one is simular to what we use at the sporting good counter at walmart. That way the customer can see what I input, I can see what they input, and they have a chance to read and agree to whatever fishing license or whatever they are buying.

I thought things would get worse after Linus stepped down… I was wrong. We now are receiving more content his true passionate subscribers appreciate! Tech tips indeed!

When you know what to search you find good products that have the same quality as some amazon products the only problem is the shipping

@Alex-cw3rz Год назад

@@gaminggeezer-is-best I mean seen as every product on here is almost 10x more expensive than it would be elsewhere, the shipping is not good and Ali express was in part responsible for the destruction of local businesses. I don't think it's a great website

I think the intention with most of these is that there would be a custom interface of some sort developed specifically for the device and the device would run that one application only.

"Ability to download a dedicated computer" just makes me imagine a cartoon-esque scenario where a hapless user gets a desktop PC with an actual tower fly into them from the screen after they click on a compressed file.
