Using a Cheap HDMI USB Capture Card on Android

In this video, I test a cheap HDMI to USB card on a Nexus 7 tablet running Android. I’m connecting it using an USB OTG adapter. I test it with a GoPro’s HDMI output, a Raspberry Pi’s output and a NES Classic.

This is the original video where I tested the HDMI adapter: https://youtu.be/SsKRFPCaeR8

Best High Endurance microSD Cards for Raspberry Pi? SanDisk and Samsung Quick Benchmark

This video is a quick followup to a more comprehensive video I did (https://youtu.be/-gTLpf2WUYY) comparing the Samsung Pro Endurance vs the SanDisk High Endurance. In this video, I do a quick benchmark of the 32GB versions of these cards. Based on the results in this test, I think either of these cards are ideal in a Raspberry Pi due to their speed and endurance.
