Ray Ban Meta Glasses - Easy Lens Replacement with the CHEAPEST Prescription Lenses
Переглядів 505День тому
You might have seen recently I've got a pair of Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Glasses, which are awesome, but with Ray-Ban charging nearly £200 for the privilege of having prescription lenses for them - they can get close to £500.. However, I've found a company called Lensology - who can make them for less than £50 - AND as a Kip Hakes viewer, you can get 15% off yours too with discount code KIP15. I'v...

In today's video I'm looking at our new coffee machine, the Sage Barista Touch Impress (or Breville Barista Touch Impress in some parts of the world!).

Well - in this video I unbox, test and review it for several weeks to give you my honest verdict.. You can buy it a bit c...

For anyone curious about the screen size - it's smaller at 2.4 inch, which allows it to be a 'no-cut' mod. The same store has a 2.6 inch screen, which does require a little cutting of the shell window.
From what I understand, those power and sound cables on the Game Gear weren't the bestest of quality
You're probably not wrong.. I do have some spares just in case!
That reminds me of when I fitted a new, I think it was a BennVenn, screen to my old Atari Lynx. One thing I preferred about it was not having to replace a whole board just remove the old screen and back light. Nice job though and big improvement to it's playability.
Thanks for watching! Gonna definitely be doing similar to an Atari Lynx soon!
I get mines in july 3
UA-cam directed me to you, nice video such a difference from start to finish. Also I recognise the intro is VOS got a sideline going now 🤣
Haha.. watch some more Fix it Friday.. you might discover VOV ! 🤔
@kiphakes the red marks you got on your nose come from the glasses ?
Not these ones.. I had a cheap pair of ‘normal’ glasses that I was wearing after a prescription change, they were a bit harsh on my nose! 😂
Thank you for the video, Kip. I'm just wondering if you're still using this setup. Thanks!
Yep! Still loving it!
@@kiphakes Thank you for replying!
Ive been on the lensology website but i only see the option to get a 'pack' and i need to send in my frames. i would prefer to do what you did and just get lenses sent to me but they dont seem to do that any more
just email them, say you’ve seen my video. They will help. 👌🏼
Carly is manufactured in Berlin. Welcome to your first Brexit benefit since the repeal by the UK Parliament of the European Communities Act 1972 which embedded EU Consumer Law into our own domestic law, the remedy you would have had under EU consumer law to a full refund is now no longer applied in UK and therefore no longer directly applicable and directly effective in our courts. You have also lost the right to directly petition the European Commission and the European Parliament if your own Government failed to properly incorporate EU Directives into domestic law leading to unlimited fines by the European Court of Justice. Since the United Kingdom has also abandoned any measures of control over the quality of goods entering the country (too expensive to police effectively), then it is now the wild-West as far as foreign companies dumping dodgy and dangerous consumer goods on the UK. You now live in a world where your foreign manufactured electrical goods ordered over the internet set fire to your house, or the jewelery you ordered from TEMU which would have been subject to EU import controls now contain enough lead and heavy metals to seriously affect your health. The protections you once enjoyed for over 40 years and took for granted under EU law has now gone. The cost of living crisis may have made cheap imported goods more desirable for the politicians with an eye on the infation statistics and essential for the public with little cash to throw around, but they have come at a price and regrettably Mr Hakes, you are but one of its many victims and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it short of hopping over to Berlin and taking the case before the German Amtsgericht under German Federal law. Have a nice day! 😀😃😄
It’s cool - I got a refund 🫶🏼
Very nice. The LCD in my Game Brick completely died, so this is just what I need. The speaker being plug-n-play is the best part. Hope other mod shops pick this up sooner or later.
Fab isn’t it! Let me know how you get on if you buy it!
@@kiphakes Definitely, seems like the ideal kit. And will do. Full disclosure: I just don't feel like making an Ali Express account, so here's hoping Retro Six and others pick it up.
Great presentation! Even though I'm very familiar with building computers there wasn't a moment where I wanted to fast-forward... especially with my unfamiliarity of current gen graphics cards that you're showing. I hope you see this soon, and have a brief second to reply... it would be greatly appreciated as like yours did to you, my two graphics cards are teasing me as well... I also have an older CPU; it's an i9 9900K., however, I ended up having Two cards here unopened, and teasing me, ergo, twice the torture. haha 1) ASUS Dual RTX 4070 OC 2) ASUS Dual RTX 4070 Super. One of these will be returned. According to online stats and benchmarks my i9 9900K is ~20% faster than an AMD 2700X. The most taxing scenario on my potential setup will be gaming. My questions are: A) Do you ever feel bottlenecking during your minimal gaming sessions with your 2700X & 4070? B) In your experience do you think the Super would be too much horsepower for the i9 9900K to handle for gaming? I just don't want to get into a scenario if I keep the Super, and wish I kept the 4070 OC because my CPU utilization is going through the roof with a 4070 Super version... which might happen anyway with a plain 4070...? Gigabyte Z390 WiFi Pro i9 9900K 32 GB 3200MHz Ram RTX 3060 Corsair RM750x Gold PSU 1440P 24" 60Hz oc'd to 75Hz display I don't plan to upgrade CPU/MB until I permanently move to Laos in a few years... currently in Chicago. Perhaps you're more familiar with the AMD product line, but any advice or info, if possible, would really help. Thank You Very Much!
To be honest, I can’t really help.. I’d put this to the Linus Tech Tips forum for sure! Thanks so much for your kind words though!
I have a question. I'm actually about to work on a couple of Super Nintendos as well as a Sega Genesis and I noticed that they both take that same voltage regulator. The Genesis has thermal paste but the Super Nintendo doesn't. Do you think it would be a good idea to add thermal paste to the Super Nintendo voltage regulator in the same way as the Genesis? I honestly don't see how it could hurt but I just wanted to run it by someone like you who has more experience with this kind of thing
Yeah, I don’t think it would do any harm adding some!
@@kiphakes I guess that's one example Sega doing what Nintendidn't
@@kiphakes and thanks
@@kiphakes *of
That was pretty easy - famous last words!
thank you
A good upgrade at a good price kip 👍🏼👍🏼
I remember in boarding school, trading Pokemon leaning out the windows trying to have enough light to see without turning on the lights 😂
Such a mad difference in visibility. Be nice if it could be greens like you said with a different palette.
Shame it changes the colours though. Shades of green it should be.
Another sound video kip 👍🏼👍🏼😎
Thanks so much!
Do I have to change the WiFi network to this device every time I want to use it? I don’t keep this device plugged in all the time and now can’t remember if I have to change from my home WiFi network to the device network. Thanks.
You shouldn’t need to, no
@@kiphakesthank you.
my brother had his points stolen last month. and he works for Sainsbury's
I've ordered the regular reserve and ride for 29th June 2024 but no bar code or anything has come up. Does it appear on the day? I'm confused
It should do on the day.. if not, go to Guest Services
@@kiphakes thank you
I'm starting to think somebody on the board of Sega had stock in a capacitor manufacturing company
I've actually used an auxiliary adapter to run the stereo sound to my sound system
Love your style love your video 😍
Thanks so much for watching! I appreciate you!
I have one screw inside the battery compartment that just won’t come out no matter what I try. Any suggestions?
Hmmm that’s annoying maybe use a metal spudger to lever it up with one hand as you attempt to unscrew with another?
One of the best channel intro segments I’ve seen. Very funny
Thanks !!Hope you enjoyed the rest of the video!
That's the problem with the fan position. I have the same problem with the oven. Same fan position. That is the reason they have put the fan on top at first place

It's crazy how they literally cloned the gameboy just for this screen upgrade. Might have to buy some myself just to restore a few old shells I have lying around
Well not the entire gameboy of course lol
Yeah.. it’s mad! Great little mod that is pretty reasonably priced!
@@kiphakesYeah indeed. I have my own, which is IPS modde, but my brother in law wants on, so this might be pretty viable
Excellent plan! Thanks so much for sharing this! Much appreciated 🙌🏻
@@kiphakes you're welcome buddy
Wow & to think that I was right on the verge of buying one of these useless pieces of rubbish!! I was so glad I watched this video from the start to the finish & without a doubt you have saved me heaps of what would merely have been totally wasted money on a piece of electronic equipment that was far from idea for the job it was supposedly designed for!! Personally the most important aspect here was not quite so much the saving of money (important sure) but what shone over & above all of that crap was your "SHEER & UTTER HONESTY". I don't care about any mistakes you may have made whilst in the process of setting this rubbish up but man alive your honesty just shone through with sheer & utter brilliance!! Respectfully what planet did you come from whereby honesty was automatically built into your system?? You could sell a heater to an Arab sitting on the back of a Camel & living in the Sahara Desert & simply because of your honesty!! Wow & wow again!! You covered so may different area's including the refund rubbish & their possibly illegal methods & operational procedures etc, etc!! Well done indeed & all the very best!!
That’s an incredible difference to the display. I’ll have to give this a go myself. Thanks for sharing.
Ahhh so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
to think that the gameboy could have been a better hand held console. probably spent nearly as much on the original screen back then, as you would have spent on the upgrade. never seen tetris so viberent, and spent many fridays playing it still remember the music all these years later!! wonder if there will ever be a stereo version! even though be weird playing tetris with 2 speakers!!
Nice cameo from @StezStixFix on the intro
There’s a fixer at the start of every fix it Friday video!
I have seen plenty of videos about the Stanley stripper. Would someone please demonstrate how it can be used for crimping. Absolutely no information from Stanley on this function.
There’s not really much to show, it just works!
i got one today after seeing your video it’s great won’t have to use any more adapters
I did the backlight and bivert mod on my personal gameboy years ago which was a massive improvement but i think im going to order one of these now to replace the backlit kit
Yeah, it’s really simple and straightforward- just connect the ribbon before you fit it!
@kiphakes yes haha I chuckled when I watched you do it sorry, you got me in my box of handhelds now looking what needs what so I can put an order in on Ali and use your code 👍🏼
@matthewmaidment8464 thank you 🙏🏼 they are watching to see how well the video goes down and who uses the code !
That screen is fantastic!

Sure
just a quick note/suggestion. You don't have to carbonate the water before adding the syrup since it can do what the soda stream cannot.
Mine does not charge
