| For those that don’t know Project Farm, and are ready to hit ‘back’ after hearing him talk for 2 seconds, stick it out. He’s incredibly thorough and detailed in how he tests and ranks things. And he tests all kinds of things, from drill bits and bed liner paints to portable battery banks. |

| ▲ | eresonance 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Exactly, I was initially put off by how weird his videos are, but dude has serious conviction to presenting pure content with no fluff. He pays for all the stuff himself, and reviews kinda weird things you wouldn't expect. I've bought a few things based off of his recommendations, like bungee straps and wrenches. Not always his top pick because I don't always agree with his weightings, but he flashes the raw data so you can make your own calls. | | |
| ▲ | throwaway81523 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I got bored with his shtick. He could condense each of his videos to the 3 or so graphs that he puts up, in the middle and at the end. Sometimes I fast foward to those if it's something I'm interested in. But he's usually too superficial anyway. Torque Test Channel is a lot better and more watchable imho. | | | |

| ▲ | Arainach 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Eh. AvE was amusing for a while, but the shtick grew old to me and it all feels much more theatrical and artificial (not necessarily artificial as in faking data, but artificial as in the entire process designed to be amusing rather than useful) as opposed to the no-nonsense "here's the methodology and the data" of project farm. |

| ▲ | prodigycorp 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Yup. He lays things out in a way that gives you power to make a decision. Perhaps you don't like his methodology or his weights, totally fine, you can understand what's important to you and feel pretty happy with a different pick. Style wise, he's like a product reviewer version of kipkay lol. I do think that I'd prefer an NPR whisper version of his reviews though. | | |

| How does a 'camera detector' (/hidden device detector) detect the hidden camera/device? (curious as to whether they give many false-positives when used in real settings, e.g. airbnb or hotel room). |
| |
| ▲ | throwaway81523 an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | It's an RF field strength meter. I watched about a half minute of the video then shut it off. | |
| ▲ | vorpalhex an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | RF or EMF detection, magnetic field detection and an IR light plus filtered lens for visually checking for camera lenses. Ye old k18 is still the $50 go to for foiling airbnb perverts. |

| This guy is an absolute gem of a scientific reviewer. He tests real world use cases for damn near everything. Before I buy anything I search his channel. One of my all time best YouTube subscriptions. |

| > Brands: JMDHKK, KAXYUYA, JAXTIN, HUYNL, NAVFALCON, SMHAWK, AORDERN, Abyliee, Obsitwy, Suntony, SEVENPARK, PolesNow, MGMCM were tested. Are there really zero reputable companies who make these products? I did some searching of my own too and all I can find are ones from ones from other trademark loophole alphabet soup brands like these. |
| |
| ▲ | j16sdiz an hour ago | parent [-] | | Most of these alphabet soup brands are just reselling the same OEM/White label product from China. Most of them time, they kind of works... but you can't find any meaningful review because they are white labels =/ |
