Who Can Find the Weirdest PC Parts on AliExpress?

[Plouffe]

 

Linus, Alex, Jake, Tanner, and Plouffe all compete for a big prize, by seeing who can find the weirdest PC component or peripheral on AliExpress.

 

Buy an Aula H530 Mouse on AliExpress: https://lmg.gg/xSV64

Purchases made through some store links may provide some compensation to Linus Media Group.

I would have liked to know more about the mouse, dpi, latency and how it holds up during gaming (I also really wanted to see it spin and get a 360 no scope). It's honestly kinda cool.

I wonder what the banned part was.

i might have misunderstood, but i think the LED kit for a car was a video idea they scrapped, presumably because attaching LEDs to your car is illegal just about everywhere.

I think that kit was for the interior though. Unless it had both interior and exterior and I didn't notice.

I have seen a whole lot weirder shit on aliexpress.

 

Once you go down the rabbit hole you find even weirder items

They are legal off road in Vancover. however they must be unlit on public roads.

However most state its legal, UK its surprisingly fully legal but certain restrictions (most likely color)

But that kit is interior only, its not like underglow.

The banned part is Alex bought it as a joke to linus which procurement accidentally bought it.

Hence it being a banned video.

that's a very strong detail that people might "purposefully forget" after seeing a youtube video and do it anyways because f*ck the police?

I highly even people would do that to piss off police.

At that point the end user is the problem.

its either purposefully done or not knowing the laws.

 

its like baofeng radios I can legally buy one off of amazon for 20 bucks.

However it my discretion on how I use it.

The legal way is get licensed by the FCC for a amateur license or a GMRS license or business license . 

Use it as a scanner which listening is legal.

On the other hand you can do some very bad stuff with these (mostly interrupting stuff).

You can have any color interior lighting you want to have so long as it's not visible from the outside while driving. Have a big red and blue flashing dome light inside the car is illegal. Having RGB door accent strips doing the rainbow wave is fine.

I'm a little disappointed with the selections here, wondering if there was some neutering to keep it YT friendly? There's certainly weirder PC stuff on AE. From Laptop chips with desktop adapters soldered on to horrible cases to questionable adapters.
