Yeah, there was originally a bit more, but the video was getting far too long. Right to repair and pro-circumvention will get their own video - I know from college that the economics of third-party repair is really hard to research.

Absolutely. Terrific content quality and deliered with great wit and presence.

The problem with cheap PCB's is that it makes free merch less convincing :|

@@ZackFreedman what

FWIW JLCPCB seems to have faster turnover, even though the assembly capabilities are limited :-)

I use Hydrogen peroxide with hydrochloric acid. No need for JLCPCB or PCBway. While it can't dissolve invoices of them, it can dissolve most of their annoying key-chain pendants and company logo:P

@@dieSpinnt Hahaha :-D to be fair I did use Ferrous Chloride for some prototypes early on, but now it's usually breadboard → perfboard → JLCPCB :-D

right? i thought "huh, aound even back then"

gotta do something with that CRT manufacturing capacity not currently being used for radar displays ;)

That makes sense, it's one of the only ways the process could be made any cheaper since then you barely have to worry about recycling the copper afterwards.

@@OrangeC7 or the etching chemical! what about synthetic materials that are better than copper, like graphene?

@@gunar.kroeger I could see graphene being used for modules or small electronics, like smart watches for example, in the not super distant future. However, I'm a bit more skeptical that graphene growing could become affordable for larger circuit boards, such as motherboards.

Same process in reverse then?

It's already been done for many years - generally called 'selective electroplating', but used in specialised applications due to higher cost, or practical limitations such as the 'porosity' and 'conductivity' of the plating. So-called 'conductive ink/material' processes usually have similar issues of porosity and conductivity. Hence 'additive processes' are nothing new either, if you know your engineering or history. 😉 Possibly the most common substrate materials used to date for these processes would be ceramics and 'Teflon' (PTFE) in high frequency or extreme temperature applications.

your watching youtube in the bathroom and you forgot to wipe

Those are some really good questions that definitely deserve an episode. The maker world has changed tremendously since I got started, and I'm curious how the 'new player experience' has changed. I build digital electronics, so the protocol sniffer features on my scope are the most important features. I use a Rigol DS2072, which could hypothetically be hacked to the 200MHz DS2202 model. Pay close attention to scope reviews; you want one with high-quality probes, deep memory, easy-to-read documentation, and a good interface.

An o'scope is useful for debugging misbehaving circuits and for reverse engineering unknown circuits. For making my own circuits with an 8266 and some sensors, my o'scope stays on the shelf. For trying to find out if my garage door opener has a 9600 serial port, or a JTAG/test port that I can use to automate the door? Out comes the scope. For my home lab I have a dinky China 20MHz / 50Msample two channel scope; because I seldom need more than 9600 serial, or 115200 serial. And two channels for clock and data, or for doing math like A-B. (Trigger on the clock to see what the data looks like, etc) Debugging an unknown connector, first I use a multimeter to check voltages and that gets me DC and verifies I won't hurt myself or my scope. Then the scope gives me waveform and frequency. And if it is serial, a TTL2USB and a laptop or Pi with python gets me the protocol. I guess a less dinky scope would have protocol decode "built in"; but a computer can also transmit ;) For 3d printing and electronics, priority 1 is a soldering iron. Then a fume extractor to get the solvent smells away from your face. Priority 2 is a decent pair of calipers, for measuring things and making houses for the PCBs that actually fit!. Then a cheap multimeter, for checking continuity, voltage and sometimes resistance. Many simple IoT or Robotics or quadcopter projects will get by just fine with that. And the o'scope comes out for advanced work, debugging protocols and sensors that misbehave; and for anything with radios. I have seen a couple of UKposts videos that discuss basic Rigol and Hantek units; some of them also go into "what can this do?" "Why do you need this?" And "how do I not blow this up?!" (Ground loops aren't just for car stereos! :eek:) Good luck and best wishes.

It’s in the works, but for now, your kind comment is more than enough!

Honestly, repair becomes cheaper the more spread out the industry is. While it's expensive now, it is really an untapped industry. There is definitely money to be made repairing and reselling old electronics. However with the influx of anti right-to-repair, it will shut down independent review for the most part, and what few repair places are still capable of operating will keep costs artificially high.

Great moments in engineering when they mount heavy components on a PCB.

Really? Well, just in case...

@@ehjones I'm so engaged right now.

I guess it does

resistors too, lmao

I... I think that was just a joke

Which component?

@@Gormadt Flame retardant material. Probably because it has "retard" in it, but I've never known anyone who thought that was a bad word.

@@Lightning_Mike I'd like to think that too, but since youtubers are not even allowed to say the word "killed" or "murdered" (even in the context of news or similar) if they want to monetize their video. And since there are algorithms in place that detect "non advertiser friendly words" and which most certainly can not identify context, it does not seem to far fetched.

@@TheIBeanz "And in other news, a man's existence was ended in florida by Florida Man. More on that after the break."

You weren't ready. Welcome to the future.

Good eye! It's a power supply from an old LCD TV that I took apart to put the CCFL in e-waste. I haven't heard that electronics is dead - if anything, we're in a golden age of accessible software, cheap boards, and powerful components.

@@ZackFreedman I get a lot. Mostly from outsiders. I like to teach what I know locally and a lot of responses I get are along the lines of " I didn't know there were still hobbyist or I thought no one did this stuff anymore". I really want to form a local hacker/maker club. I'm waiting to finish expanding my office first thought. I completely agree it's absolutely the golden age for hobbyists. I fear the future a little because of anti repair lobbying by companies like tesla and apple

Apple gets a lot of flak for how it treats outdated products, but they were one of the first companies to stop specifically designing low-end products and sell refurbs instead. For instance, there is no low-end iPhone X. The XR is a midrange device, and they sell refurbished 8’s to budget customers.

@@ZackFreedman Except here's the issue with that: Apple offering refurbished products sounds fine on its own, but it's a symptom of a bigger problem. The problem is they are trying their hardest to make sure *they are the only ones* who can do so. Anyone could refurbish and sell their stuff (likely cheaper than Apple offers it for AND offer repairs), like any other product, but Apple is trying to make that as difficult as possible (for example by controlling the market of repair parts, seizing imports and threatening repair shops). What you mentioned is not a good thing, but an example of their shitty practices ("Nobody dare touch our devices except us!").

But I'll bet they have a circuit board in them.

modern as in 'still in use in modern times' not as in 'this was manufactured last week' :)

​@@ZackFreedman Why are houses made out of wood? Why isn't there innovation in home construction? Why is moores law a thing? I know the last one but I think you could do a good video on it.

That's surprising. Especially once you get to RF-level signals, the natural inductance and capacitance of the traces can quickly rear its head, and there's been a number of tricks to build in antennas, signal filters, transformers, even heating coils strong enough to solder components to the PCB.
