To their "don't do this" message, as someone who designs and builds interfaces, messages like this have nothing to do with people who know why they can ignore them. Valve isn't talking to Linus or Anthony or any repair shop. Anyone who knows what a static wrist strap is and can intelligently discuss why you might or might not need one is not who that message is for. That message is for baby Linus who's only built his first computer and it was under heavy supervision from an adult who know what they were doing. You warn that guy and telling someone why makes it more likely a warning will stick. Think of it this way: You approach one line and see a sign saying, "You shouldn't cross this line." and then you see another line on the other side saying, "You shouldn't cross this line because it's a live-fire range and you will get shot." Which of those two lines are you going to pay more attention to?

This. This so hard. Managers, in particular, need to understand why this concept is so important. You can tell your excited new employee "this is how it's always been done" every time they come to you with an idea about how to improve workflows, but doing so will only make them bitter and ruin your relationship with them. However, if you can explain the justification for WHY it is better to stick with the existing methodology, then they can better accept that reasoning and not feel like they're bashing their head against a brick wall.

I think, to be fair to Valve, they're adding all the "don't do this disclaimers" to prevent being responsible for when someone who genuinely has no clue what they're doing attempts it and cites the teardown as their source and attempts to open a lawsuit; rather than being an actual "don't do this".
@Benjamoose
@Benjamoose 2 роки тому
Exactly! They're forgetting the sheer power of a manufacturer saying, on their main UKposts channel "here is how to open this". Just the fact that the video exists in such a mainstream area of their channel, is enough to have a ton of people that don't know what they're doing, opening their device just because "Valve said it's my right and has a tutorial", so they're going ham with the warnings so that the kind of people that'd make stupid mistakes, will give up before they start and not cause damage to their system. The kind of people that have done the research and are willing to take the risk can see right through the warnings, just like Linus did. I don't blame Valve honestly. I've literally seen people pry batteries out with sharp objects, that have then exploded, and you LTT are forgetting their own experiences; that while they think some things are common sense (e.g. opening a device to spray compressed air) their forgetting how they've cringed hard at inexperienced people pulling out PC components, snapping off tabs, for what is essentially adult LEGO.

@razorboy68

To minimize stripping out the holes when replacing self-tapping screws, drop the screw in the hole and turn it BACKWARDS with very slight downward pressure until the screw suddenly falls into the hole a bit. That happens when the threads of the screw fall back into the threads in the hole that they had previously cut. A good secondary test that it truly did fall back in (nearly) perfectly is to start screwing it in with as close to zero torque (twisting force) as possible. If it goes in 2-3 full turns with this nearly no torque method, you hit the old threads. Do this and you'll likely be able to remove & replace self-tapping screws many times without stripping the hole to the point where the screws stop holding.
@RomstarOrion
@RomstarOrion 2 роки тому
Came here to say this, and no worries. Someone else already took care of it. Honestly this should almost be at the top of the comments. I've seen so many people strip plastic threads and once you know how to avoid it, it just seems so pointless and ham fisted when it happens.

These are the cells we use in rock crawlers. Often times in soft pack form. Right next to exposed gears and spinning drive shafts. Not to mention rocks and other sharp debris we are driving over under and through. Lithium polymer batteries are no more dangerous than lead acid or NiMh batteries. In fact catastrophic NiMh battery failures are more dangerous in my opinion. They can often explode sending the steel casings around each cell outward in pieces as shrapnel. The smallest bit of moisture can start the rusting process on the steel casings and the tiniest breech in the casing can result in an explosion.

I'm gonna share a BIG TIP FOR NOT MESSING UP THE THREADS ON THE SELF TAPPING HOLES: what you want to do when reinstalling a self tapping screw on any substrate is to put the screw on the hole and rotating as if you were unscrewing it while pushing slightly down on the screwdriver , when you have reached the already cut thread you will feel the screw drop down slightly and sometimes it even makes a tapping noise. At this point you can screw it back in and it will follow the previous thread. if it feels a bit hard to screw you have messed up since you're cutting another thread.

In regards to fixing it yourself: tightly packed devices are INCREDIBLY hard for the inexperienced to take apart and not break. I used to have an MSI "Thin" laptop that I got specifically because it was thin. Turns out, the workarounds they had to do to get it so thin make repairing it a nightmare. Every component was squeezed against the chassis, so just taking off the plastic covering was painful to listen to. Then you're greeted with the fact that the ENTIRE MOTHERBOARD is upside down, so you have to literally disassemble the whole device to get at the storage or CPU, which I wasn't comfortable doing after pulling out the 10th or so thermal pad delicately wedged between components. So yeah, you can do whatever you want with your device, but some people aren't smart enough or comfortable with small electronics.

Valve's approach with the console, their video showcasing disassembly, providing sources for replacements, and your time and effort spent making this video are all appreciated very much. This makes me happy in the same way content about other open source, right to repair stuff like Linux and Framework does. So good to see.

I'm glad Valve is doing this and that there is an option to open your device and fix it or replace SSD or whatever, but there is no way I'm opening mine.

I was on the fence about buying a deck until I heard them say that everything is replaceable and that the buyer owns the device; I instantly went and preordered a deck after that. Good on Valve, and I hope more companies decide to follow suit!

The fact that they are saying "leave it to professionals" could likely mean that they're planning on making replacement parts beyond the thumbsticks available to professional repair shops they trust to account for more complex issues. They never said "better to let _us_ deal with it." That's still vastly closer to where you want to be than Apple et al.

@@mduckernz That's my point. They don't want to employ those types of people ever. Too much hassle for little reward. They would ideally want other groups to make hardware, support, and install SteamOS on it too. They tried this idea somewhat with Steam machines and mostly failed.

9:18 - a note on ESD, while a failure due to static discharge might not be immediate, it can sew the seeds of a "latent failure," as its called, down the road. still worth considering when handling electronics.

I feel like there's an undercurrent of Valve having read the room a little. They're on the pulse knowing how contentious the right to repair issue is with modern hardware. Sure, they're not going to announce that you can and should but if you're experienced enough, you'll be fine.

Well Valve has been stressing that this device is a PC and one thing that PC gamers expect is to be able to open and tinker with their device. They really want to drive the point home that they see this device as a PC not an appliance or console.

ESD strip on rubber glove and the time jumps aside, I really didn't expected an official teardown ever. So props on that ^^. Also, the modular PCBs are good to take mechanical stress off the main PCB and they can release different revisions for you to replace if there are some Gen 1 quirks
@thomasphillips885

That's very true, I didn't even think of the mechanical stress thing. Like having small gaps in the road on a bridge to allow for each section to move a little bit.

Its a special ESD glove though which has a graphite additive inside to make it conductive. It doesnt really matter if the strap directly connects to the skin or the glove. Normal gloves dont make any sense at all, as ESD would still be possible even when the technician is fully grounded.
