    3:00 - This is a Walmart Auto Center, and those stickers match up with other promotional fonting Walmart uses. I never worked in the Auto Center, but in my experience in the company, I'm willing to put money that a customer got mad that the price in the POS didn't match the sign, a manager told some underpaid employee to "fix the price on the sign", and nobody knew how. The manager for precisely that one department probably knows how, and probably wasn't present, and nobody else in the building knows. And, more importantly; once the stickers were in place, the "correct price was advertised" and nobody in management cared about the problem any more.
    God, I hated Walmart.

    • @IsM1ku
      @IsM1ku 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It's a pretty common comparison, I got taught that in school, there's even an anime shitpost about it. From what I know, voltage is usually constant while current is pulled as needed, if you short circuit the connections then it'll pull as many amps as the cable will allow until your breaker pops or the cable limits it, putting a load in between causes resistance which limits the current to a certain amount, so if your wall can supply 240V and you've got a device that needs 480 then it'll pull 2 amps since voltage (V) x current (A) = power (W)

    18:25 We are taught how to fix the traces in multilayered boards in micro/miniature school, basically involves excavating each layer until you are down to the damaged layer and repairing it, covering it in epoxy to the height of the next layer and repairing that once dry, then epoxy again to the top layer and repairing that once dry. That board would certainly be written off as a non-economical repair and just be replaced. Unless it is an extremely expensive card with relatively simple inner trace damage, it probably won't be economic to repair it.

    I have no doubt that this USB port was delivering 5V at some point
    If the switch in an step down converter fails short, you get the input voltage at the output. That is why you have something that is called a crowbar circuit for sensitive stuff at the output, that shorts it (like throwing a crowbar on the power rails) if the voltage goes outside of some limit

    11:25 USB now has the ability to do quite significantly over 5V, in fact the latest PD standard has added 28V, 36V and 48V standards to the USB standard. However, devices should *always* communicate to the charger that it wants a higher voltage than 5V. This is done by changing out resistors at the female socket. No USB port should *ever* output more than 5V unless specified otherwise. Also at 18:00 we now have motherboards with at least 8 layers (Asus ROG Strix and Dark Horse boards)

      Hackaday did a series of articles about how to USB-C. You need resistors in the line for it to deliver power _at all_ (and for orientation detection), and to get more power out of it requires _digital negotiation_ (there's premade chips that speak USB-PD to do it for you, or you can bitbang if you're that determined), but then there's also the issue that host and device may both be capable of XYZ watts but _the cable_ might not be, etc etc...

    Test your GFCI outlets every now and then. Getting a plug stuck in them is a perfect opportunity. The test works by literally causing what they're meant to detect, so they disable the outlet in response, allowing you to pull out whatever stuck.

  • @wonderturtle2018
    @wonderturtle2018 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    For the first one with the GFCI if you just press test it should trip it and make it safe to pull out. What is generally best to always disable it from the breaker as well.

    0:15 option 1: stick a wire in earth (the round one on the bottom) and touch it to the broken plug. Option 2: Press test. The outlet is de energized and you can remove the broken plug then press reset. Option 3: Turn off the circuit breaker Option 3B: short the top outlet's live to neutral (top 2) with the same wire from option 1, throwing the breaker Option 4: pull the plug out wearing rubber shoes and you CANNOT touch anything other than the piece while doing so.

      Option 2 should be the only option needed assuming it's working properly

    4-layer PCBs are.... kinda entry-level stuff? It gets crazy when you get to old mainframe hardware and you see 16 layer ceramic-PCBs that have giant metal slab on both side and are oil-cooled cause they burn like 3kW. Mainframes were kinda insane and crazy fast: 40 years ago you could see them using over 100kW and doing over 1Gflops.

    10:05 Had this happen to me, spent a whole 5 hours with a magnifying glass and a tiny screw driver. Popped it into the board and it worked just fine, as long no pins are broke off you should be good. My advice would be go row by row about 3 - 4 times over and hope for the best. The cpu was a Ryzen 5 1600x.

    10:35 this could be one of those designs where one side is 120v ac and the other side is 115v dc using a voltage divider so it looks like 5v in most cases but if the voltage coming from the wall is out of spec or too dirty or something it ends up putting out too much voltage (and can also kill you if you ground yourself)

    10:04 I've fixed CPUs in this shape and maybe even slightly worse. If none of them are broken it is probably fine. I've done customers so many favors when I worked at Micro Center and repaired many CPUs that looked kind of like this. I got so good at it colleagues would leave shop Ryzen CPUs to me so I could fix them on my off time and we could keep using them as test CPUs. Yes I tested them after this and yes each one worked perfectly and passed all tests. I also happened to be the most extensive tester and would run computers on the likes of Prime95 (+graphics tests like furmark to simulate extremely intense workloads) for 24+ hours depending on how much doubt I had on the integrity of the hardware.
    It probably saved numerous customers $300+ depending on their choice of CPU over my 3 years there. It's not that bad.

    0:10 Just press the Test button, remove the prong, press the Reset button and you are set.
    Want to drive some screws into a masonry wall ? Simple : Drill holes about 3 to 4 times the diameter of the screws. Hammer in some wood dowels that fit as tight as possible. Drive the screws into the wood. The screws will cause the dowels to expand, making their removal impossible.
    5:25 Looks like some electrolytic capacitor failed and spilled their electrolyte all over the circuit board, frying it in the process.
    15:40 That «Unknown» is because those drives are not formatted, or formatted using a format that the OS can't recognize.

    I'm not seeing anything weird in the server box from 13:00 either. Looking at the plugs below it's European and it's a dedicated plug extension part so that's cool, normally I see just extension cords stuffed in to the box. Other than that, the server actually has a door, so that's an improvement. I'm not sure how'd they fit an AC in that tiny space so maybe that's a problem? The server have overheated? Don't know.

    On the positive side, the way they say "Houston, we have a dud" sounds like they GOT the motherboard that way and didn't want to have to go thru the RMA process, but... If you see damage like that right when you open the box, DO NOT TOUCH IT, Take a picture, put that picture on 2 USB thumb drives, and send both the motherboard and one of the thumb drives back when you RMA it. Therefore irrevocably proving YOU DID NOT DO THAT.
    The reason you make two copies is so that YOU still possess a copy of the image that can be sent to them AGAIN if they don't get it.
    If you need to, you can literally fax it to them (somehow faxes carry more legal weight than emails, don't ask me why that is, but that's how it is).
    Or print it out on nice photo paper, and send it to them in the mail.
    Because these days nobody has good customer service anymore. EVERYONE WANTS TO TAKE YOUR MONEY AND BLAME YOU WHEN IT'S THEIR FAULT.
    Half the time I'd say you're better off getting some legal consulting for how best to pin the tail on that particular donkey (and I use that specific euphamism because c'mon now, the companies are being asses about it).
