@jdslyman Lol, I still do that. Thought it was just to scrub dirt off the contacts EDIT: I thought you meant just reseating, not dropping the whole thing
Planned Obsolescence is absolutely a thing. The HP 4000 and 6000 series printers both have small, cheap sponges near moving parts that are reportedly for noise reduction. The trouble is, they're held on with some pretty good double sided tape. Over time, the sponges wear away and parts start to stick on the now exposed tape, causing paper jams. The fix is to just scrape it all off and wipe away the sticky residue. Funnily enough, I've never been able to hear the difference in a printer before or after those "noise reduction features" were removed. If it was just the 4000s I might buy that it's an honest mistake but when the same exact flaw is in the newer 6000 printers, in the same exact spot, I call shenanigans.
HP has always been like that though. just look at the old deskjets, if you're lucky you'd be able to actually finish an ink cartridge before the printer itself fails... also in the early to mid 2000's their computers, their computers where designed as so you would throw it in the bin and buy another as soon as, if not before the warranty period runs out. my aunt got a brand new 1.8ghz Pentium 4 from them shortly after i'd built my 1.4ghz Pentium 3 and tried to tell me that her's was better than mine... the netburst p4 was slower than my p3 for a start (not HP's fault) however, whilst i was struggling with a pitiful 368mb of ram, HP figured that not only was 128 megs plenty for XP and all their factory installed bloat, but they felt the need to sacrifice 32 meg of it on a pitiful onboard gpu! heck, my videocard had access to more memory than her windows did... not bad for the $1,000 price disparity right?
ThunderClawShocktrix I use a mid nineties HP Laserjet 4 plus with a million and a half pages run through it. It's built like a tank and still produces prints like new. The only things I have replaced on it was a fuser once, a couple of pickup rollers and toner cartridges.
Money wasn't a thing that time, more for happy customers. Now short lifespan so we have to buy again. Tbat time was also when everything was discovered. So game companies pc companies exc- want to get more and more and take the most out of the devices. Now we have dlc's buy in a store. Not only that. In 2000 exc- they never heard of that. Now we can buy lvls. And like the last finalfantasy unfinished game. Game updates exc- or look at windows 10. Thwywant full control now. Times have changed badly. All for the money not for the customers. Fossil phones where better and when you dig one up sure you still be able call with it. It's thisdays business tricks.
Planned obsolescence is a very real thing. I used to work for a company who were masters of this. We would be in the prototype phase and when we designed a part, it was in the framework of "make it last, but not too long". The price of a part would be equal if we used the heavier gauge steel instead of the lighter, but that would make it too robust, too long of a lifespan. So we choose the thinner stuff. And we plan it to fail two to four months from warranty expiration. And to make it worse, we could make the failure to appear the user's fault. That is what I had issue with, and thus ended my employment there. No place for that sentimental dawdle in this day and age.
"Planned obsolescence" is not a thing or, more precisely, it's usually misunderstood, it's not a plot to exploit people by somehow knowing exactly when something will break or wear out. All it basically is is the intersection of cost and demand i.e. "how much are people willing to pay" that determines the quality or lifespan of a product. For example, how much would you be willing to pay for a typewriter that lasts a 1000 years? Probably not ever much since typewriters are obsolete technology. We can build things to last longer, yes, but most customers are not willing to pay very much for a smart phone that lasts 20 years when it's obsolete in less than 5. It's customers that drive "planed obsolescence".
I have worked in NAND drive development for 8 years. If all goes well we know the precise number of cycles we can read write or clear bits. Done properly, we can slowly and safely manage the data. Using trend analysis we can even alert you ahead of time before a failure. As NAND gets smaller it wears out sooner. This is why old devices from the 80's will actually outlasts newer devices.
This is fascinating. As a lover of vintage technology I've been learning about various ways to repair those tiny physical defects, and there are ways to fix most anything short of electron shenanigans. So from what I've seen, the way a vast majority of electronics die before their full lifetime is because they are no longer in the possession of somebody who cares enough to do the often simple maintenance and repairs that can revive them. Of course once there are no longer any replacement parts for vital components that are truly beyond repair and cannot be produced by hobbyists and enthusiasts (mainly the heavily guarded industrial secrets) life as we know it will be turned upside down, but I don't see that happening for a very long time.
It doesn't matter. The corporate big-wigs get their work-arounds via toxic updates and "instabilities" and "patches"... You ever wonder how (for instance) a company like Microsoft can hire a literal army of software engineers, all working toward the same general purpose, and still not accomplish a single completely functional operating system by the date of release? Think about that... And note, I purposefully used "date of release" not "deadline" or "due date"... As to "the same general purpose" (since someone will doubtless complain for ambiguity)... It's simple. As part of a single company, the individual will want to keep working (even gain rank within the company) so it would stand to reason, sending a reliable, useful, durable product to the public for all its accolades would gain the company respect, loyalties, and return business... Instead. within a day of being released, there's a patch and a stack of updates to keep your computer humming till (what seems like) rapture. So... not even a day of operation? Not a couple hours test-drive on the information highway? No, more updates... more patches... more "sorry, but this shit don't work right either, so you'll be able to have use of your computer in a few more days... weeks... oh hell, just forget about it and smoke weed like a good little soldier... :o)
As much as I am sure that planned obsolescence is real, I also believe that many times it isn't a conscious decision by the manufacturer and is actually a natural part of statistics and market pricing.
He doesn't mention a VERY important reason why capacitors fail; because manufacturers are cheapskates who under-rate their components to save a few cents. Lower voltage devices are cheaper, but putting a 6 volt capacitor in a 5 volt circuit is suicide for a circuit board.
Just wrong though. A 6 volt capacitor can STAND 6 volt, and actually is "over-planned" by 1 volt and works just fine in a 5 volt circuit. It's more like they put max (!) a 5 volt capacitor in a 5 volt circuit or maybe go even slightly lower, planning for no headroom (though turning on certain devices draws MORE volt than usually is there for a short periods of time), therefore the lifespan is shorter. Headroom would just cost more money, so they try to avoid it. But you were close lol :p
I have a 1915 Candlestick telephone what still works on a current British Telecom connection. Although, the oldest electronic I use often what still works would be my 1934 Elextrolux Z25 Vacuum Cleaner complete with box and attachments. I Just can't see my modern Dyson ball working until the year 2100 though in 83 years time. I also prefer the brushed ali build quality of older 1960s/70s hifi equipment too. You struggle to get that these days its made in either plastic or black and rather bland looking instead.
maybe true, mine SUPPOSEDLY went dry... I just couldn't use it anymore. It looked to me like it had ink after I gave up and opened it up. I don't know.... the printer industry was always full of scumbag scammers
If you think of how much electronics are found in cars today and how many things they control(engine management, safety features, keyless entry, stop/start, traction control emergency breaking, lane assist, adaptive cruise control ) plus the temperature changes they operate at compared to pc's it is more than a bit scary to think what would a failure or malfunction could do.
my father had the FICM..."Fuel injection control module" go out in his 2004 Chevy Duramax truck. The truck has only 160K miles on it and is in great shape. GM or Isuzu (manufacturer of the engine) doesn't make them anymore. No aftermarket manufacturers make the FICM, nor can a modern part be adapted. The only ones out there are from scrapped trucks. He had to wait 4 months to get one from a junkyard.
Nice overview. Three key points to add: 1. Important to stress the most common causes of failure and how users can avoid them (e.g. heat, abuse of connectors, dropping, liquids). 2. Biggest problem I've found is that websites become bloated with videos, pop-ups, scripts, etc. so that more powerful hardware is required to deal with them (alternately, ad blockers). 3. Some of the long-term problems you mention could be planned for by ensuring that vulnerable parts can be replaced. Batteries, hard drives and memory for example.

I have always had issues with surface mounted components in that not enough solder typically makes the connections to them leading to breaking intermittent connectivity over time through heat and cold stresses having that lead to ultimate failures within the circuitry. Indeed, planned obsolescence due to lack of enough solder on the connections. Through time, they break apart and no longer are dependable. What's worse is that in the wave soldering process it IS possible to bring forth enough solder to make that not be at issue, but most manufacturers don't and/or refuse to make it any sort of a priority.
A lot of it is ROHS requiring solder be lead free (In order to be imported from china). Leaded soldering so much more effective. Other solder chemicals like silver can be used but it's too expensive to be used on a wide scale.
now explain why my IBM 8088 built in 1988 still work perfectly but a pc i bought in 2005 is basically a paper weight i scrap for parts and uh screws cant get enough screws
Different devices have different life spans. It is not that old technology lasts better. New devices just cannot have lasted long and we see only those examples of old technology that have lasted.
Planned obsolescence is a scumbag move, but even more on mobile devices. In PC you can get away with an i5 2500 at this very moment, on phones the next android version is most likely not working for your model, no idea how it works for IOs though.
Apple's updates for the iPhone are pretty good and they support devices going a few years back. The new update that launched yesterday is available for the iPhone 5, which was released in September 2012. I have a iPhone 5s (2013) and it's still working fine. The only really noticeable speed decrease is when I'm loading the facebook/messenger app where it takes up to 10 seconds for some reason. The biggest problem is that the 16GB memory (more than enough in 2013) is too small right now and there is no way to upgrade it other than buying the 32/64 GB back in 2013.
get away with an i5 2500, my dad was using a Pentuim D (two pentuim 4s) as a daily driver for a while at work. My nan still uses a C2D machine, and i had a gaming machine using a Q6600, nothing is wrong with the LGA775 CPUs and they still work lovely.
on android each upgrade makes the device better, if you can install the newer version. I'm using a Sony Xperia M with 4.3, and is quick as was with 4.1 (maybe a little bit quicker but eh)
Thank you, this is a very informative and thorough video. I' like to see you tackle planed obsolescence in a separate video as that's a little controversial and dividing topic. Keep up the good work!
1. What middle school is that? 2. Yeah, that's probably one of the few things pretty much everyone "should" know even if they don't know anything else about electricity.
Please Educate us about Motherboard Chipsets (H110, B250, H270 etc...) and clarify the concept of Pairing an i7 to H110 Chipset is a bad idea although it is in the right CPU Socket. I believe this video of Techquickie (Why Do Electronics Die?) is somehow related to my query. Please Thumbs up for people that need to understand why!
It fascinats me how electricity behaves very much like water. The effects he's referring to become far more noticeable when you deal with high energy electronics that operate in the megawatt range. A lot of parts in these type of devices have to be replaced due to wear caused by the huge amounts of current going through them. The damage resembles sort of the wear and tear of water on on pipes and river banks overtime.
the military class is absolute bullshit compared to actual military class motherboard which is water stress and drop resistant. maybe like titanium cpu pins on motherboard and waterproof coating maybe would kinda make it "military class"
Just a marketing wank. There's no official objective standards it needs to meet to be qualified as "military grade", they could probably cite some paper pusher using a cheap pre-built in an ROTC staff room as validation of it's military grade quality.
What does "military grade" even stands for? Do soldiers bring those along to play some Club Penguin (oh...) in between raids? There's no official tests or standards to it, neither an independent org to test them, it's just something people eat up thinking it's actually better - "oh, why I paid a hell lot more for this mb that offer pretty much the same of much cheaper alternated? This one's a military grade mb, bro!"
*4:24**-**4:46** I'm glad that was mentioned.* *When my HP laptop's warranty ended, the laptop's battery or battery connections (to this day I still haven't fixed it, so I don't know) stopped working, around a week later.*
Both my c64's work perfectly, as do 3 of my 1541 drives. I have had to swap a few chips on my '85 c64. My silver label '82 c64 is perfect, and that has mostly original '82 chips.
I got the impression from the video that new and smaller architecture CPUs would die faster because the transistors are so small. So maybe older machines will last much much longer due to the larger architecture of the CPU. also if you never use it that will probably help prolong its lifespan. So that makes me wonder if I buy the newest and most expensive CPU available today, will it be dead in 5 years, whereas a CPU from 20 years ago would probably last many many times longer?
Props for mentioning electromigration and hot carrier injection. First time I think I've ever heard either mentioned outside of the industry (even if the latter not by name). There's also another phenomenon related to HCI: negative bias temperature instability. Similar results, different cause, but it's reversible. NBTI is a big problem for modern devices, but ICs have circuitry built into them to counter it.
This was very educational! I'm an EE/inventor. I have a flying invention on my channel with no moving parts except ions and electrons. I was trying to figure out reasons why it isn't too reliable yet, other than the obvious. Perhaps, if I add more lightweight cooling fins it will at least prolong the life of the affected parts. I never hear much about electromigration before either.
Don't often click on the random vids YT recommends but when I saw a much younger looking Luke I got curious. An interesting fact relating to thermal expansion: The first electronic* computer, the Colossus I, was built during WWII to help decrypt Nazi Tunny Codes used by their naval forces (their army used Enigma codes which were defeated with an electromechancial computer called La Bomba). When the proposition to build Colossus was first made there was a lot of push back because it was a well known fact that vacuum tubes (which the British call thermionic valves) failed quite rapidly, fortunately there was someone there (I think Tommy Flowers) that had experience with vacuum tubes and knew that so long as they kept the tubes warm they would last a lot longer. The reason the tubes normally failed is because of rapid heating and cooling. *Colossus I and it's successors were special purpose computers, the first general purpose computer was made later using similar principles.
@@mohammedsami7080 Actually, he's right though. Using a VPN only results in your connection being encrypted up to the VPN server. If you traffic isn't transport-encrypted as well, for example by using TLS as with HTTPS, your traffic will be unencrypted after it leaves the VPN endpoint. And it has to leave the VPN endpoint, because somehow, you requests need to reach the actual target. So, VPN isn't the single holy grail for secure communication.

(Aug 2023) - I just caught this amazing video. Marketing always talks about how great the products are. Service and repair videos are very few and far between. One thing that wasn’t mentioned is variation in manufacturing. I think manufacturing engineers, and the people who actually make things so well every single day are the unsung heroes of the electronics industry. Put it another way… If the connectors to a power supply are not crimped correctly, that connector will eventually fail. Thank you again for a great video!
I dont think dell does planned obsolescence. Yeah i know the dimension machines and a couple of old system broke from design flaws, but a dell optiplex from 2006 can still be used to day and same with i laptop i own. If a system meets the minumum required specs, i could run a more modern os
@@bennemann Sigh. Basic maintenance. Like changing thermal paste and cleaning the dust every 1-2 years. Swapping the drive after a few years. Done. Finito. Spanky new working PC.
Shame you skipped one of the more common failure causes, especially in modern computers: timing mismatch induced short circuiting. When you build massive networks of logic gates to form all of the necessary logic to make a computer of any sort. You have a minimum time you must wait before you can trust the output of any logical inversion, the time it takes for the signal to go from the input side to the output side. When you break the essential circuits down to logical inversion in diagram form, it's pretty clear there are some paths faster than others. Imagine this: you have a wire that can have voltages in it ranging from 0.85V to 1.35V. Some things connected to this wire can't handle the full 1.35V while other's can. It's just not feasible or even possible to separate them due to what they are needed for. So you build a gate system that will shut off that power wire to anything that might be hurt by the full 1.35V if it's about to be changed to that voltage. Simple solution, works really good majority of the time. However we want blazing fast chips so we do this as fast as possible with no wiggle room for maybe an electron going missing from that "shut off low voltage circuits" line. Chips suffer from this a lot, they are built for it with a stated tolerance level based around exactly that problem. The higher end of the tolerance is where it's going to happen enough to notice a difference in lifespan of the chip. This is also where the mistakenly though up "Planned Obsolescence", at least as rampantly, actually comes from. They know in a few years, your most likely going to upgrade your machine or just replace the part at significantly lower price from age depreciation. So why not pick how hard your pushing things to provide the best bang for the buck for the range of time your expected to own it. It's a tradeoff of lifespan for balls to the wall power.
Alan Hunter this doesn't explain why electronics fail over time. If a designer designs around this 'hold time', then we expect not to have this occur. So does this 'hold time' change over time?
Planned obsolescence sometimes backfires, my washing machine went splat a month before the warranty was up. They wrangled for months trying to get out of replacing it but finally they were forced to replace it , and pay me back for all my laundry bills incurred after the time i deemed was reasonable enough for them to have fixed the issue.
they dont die. they evolve. they are learn how get stronger, how to evolve to think for themselves, and rise to take humanity out. but theres one man, one man who can stop it all. He must send back his father to ensure his birth, and ensure he live to stop the machines. He must also make sure that his mother and younger self lives to fight the fight, so he sends two machines back in to different times, so he becomes the leader must be.
no atoms not just electrons as metalloid or e precise elements like Se and Ga are actually what you called as processing units so yes he meant to be atoms and really atoms including protons electrons bosons quarks matter waves and all these stuff
Yes and no... I mean, technically it is the electrons that are the electricity. So, no it isn't atoms but is particularly the electrons that are doing the most to help you play. However, yes since the electrons are part of atoms and wouldn't be useful without the protons and neutrons. But then, you literally are doing everything in your life with atoms because all matter (including your body) is made up of atoms. So, everything you do in life involves at least the atoms that make up your body, the ground you walk on and the air you breath... and more if you sit down, touch something or in any way interact with anything. There is just no escaping the involvement of atoms in life.
I believe, that that is because of how the drive manufacturer rates the amount of space on the drive and how windows does it. For the drive manufacturers, 1TB could be counted as 1 000 000 000 000 bytes, but for the OS, 1TB could be counted as 1 099 511 627 776 bytes so 2 drive-manufacturer-TB is ~1.818989 OS-TB
Thank you! very informative. I've always wondered about that. PS What is the most robust information storage medium for archiving data, we have today? Lastly, do think it's reasonable to overclock a PC, given that it will obsolesce before it gives out? On that note, if a system is overclocked and cooled properly, will its lifespan be diminished as a consequence?

Mechanical and hydraulic systems usually give a fair bit of warning before they fail completely, but when electronics fail, it's usually without any warning. This is what concerns me about modern vehicles, as "drive by wire" systems are becoming more and more common. Electronics tend to be one of the less reliable aspects of a car.
4:00 I would have said the voltage drops as a consequence, but it is ampere, the flow of electricity (electrons), that gets diminished and since the resistance is almost static the voltage has to shrink as well.
Over three decades of managing hardware, the main and most prevalent culprits are heat cycling (don’t turn off after running hot), vibration, bad power line conditions, software updates degrade perf and even can cause physical damage.
Harambe really is dead. A child fell into his cage and Harambe decided to play with him. The zookeepers thought that he tried to kill the child, so that led to him being shot.
hey current is not due to physical flow of electron as you said at 2:48 actually it is due vibration of electrons hence transfering energy from one point to another.
Good topic! For some reason, I've always gotten nearly euphoric over the natural failure of electronics (and anything else). There's no better excuse to go out and buy something new than what you have just not working anymore and being unrepairable.
Actually though i feel like alot off chinese things are so cheaply made that it makes it easy to upgrade/replace if needed even though they might not last as long.

Depends of the context. My sister's Nvidia Shield tablet has been a great buy, as a device that came with Android 4.4 out of the box and is currently running 7. Name a company that keeps Android tablets up to date for that long, instead of making the Samsung-style move of updating it once on the first year and then neglecting it? Of course when it comes to PC hardware it might be different, although even on that subject I have no reasons to complain.

Sometimes my remote that I use on my tv stops working , and installing fresh batteries doesn't fix the problem . But I have discovered that by taking out the batteries and leaving it alone for maybe an hour , when I put the batts back in , it seems to work fine again ! What happened ? Was maybe a capacitor acquiring charge and retaining it , but taking out the power source and not using the remote for a while allowing that charge to leak off ?

If it was just the 4000s I might buy that it's an honest mistake but when the same exact flaw is in the newer 6000 printers, in the same exact spot, I call shenanigans.
HP has always been like that though. just look at the old deskjets, if you're lucky you'd be able to actually finish an ink cartridge before the printer itself fails...

Planned obsolescence is a very real thing. I used to work for a company who were masters of this. We would be in the prototype phase and when we designed a part, it was in the framework of "make it last, but not too long". The price of a part would be equal if we used the heavier gauge steel instead of the lighter, but that would make it too robust, too long of a lifespan. So we choose the thinner stuff. And we plan it to fail two to four months from warranty expiration. And to make it worse, we could make the failure to appear the user's fault. That is what I had issue with, and thus ended my employment there. No place for that sentimental dawdle in this day and age.

That is why no modern car will see classic stage!
"Planned obsolescence" is not a thing or, more precisely, it's usually misunderstood, it's not a plot to exploit people by somehow knowing exactly when something will break or wear out. All it basically is is the intersection of cost and demand i.e. "how much are people willing to pay" that determines the quality or lifespan of a product. For example, how much would you be willing to pay for a typewriter that lasts a 1000 years? Probably not ever much since typewriters are obsolete technology.
We can build things to last longer, yes, but most customers are not willing to pay very much for a smart phone that lasts 20 years when it's obsolete in less than 5.
It's customers that drive "planed obsolescence".

100agree, and we are making this planet a junkyard 😥 that is not smart. So lets make things that last much longer 🙂
I have worked in NAND drive development for 8 years. If all goes well we know the precise number of cycles we can read write or clear bits. Done properly, we can slowly and safely manage the data. Using trend analysis we can even alert you ahead of time before a failure. As NAND gets smaller it wears out sooner. This is why old devices from the 80's will actually outlasts newer devices.
So , how is it going?

This is fascinating. As a lover of vintage technology I've been learning about various ways to repair those tiny physical defects, and there are ways to fix most anything short of electron shenanigans. So from what I've seen, the way a vast majority of electronics die before their full lifetime is because they are no longer in the possession of somebody who cares enough to do the often simple maintenance and repairs that can revive them. Of course once there are no longer any replacement parts for vital components that are truly beyond repair and cannot be produced by hobbyists and enthusiasts (mainly the heavily guarded industrial secrets) life as we know it will be turned upside down, but I don't see that happening for a very long time.
Planned obsolescence should be illegal at least in most cases
It is illegal in some cases, plane stuff and baby stuff for example.
It doesn't matter. The corporate big-wigs get their work-arounds via toxic updates and "instabilities" and "patches"... You ever wonder how (for instance) a company like Microsoft can hire a literal army of software engineers, all working toward the same general purpose, and still not accomplish a single completely functional operating system by the date of release? Think about that... And note, I purposefully used "date of release" not "deadline" or "due date"...
As to "the same general purpose" (since someone will doubtless complain for ambiguity)... It's simple. As part of a single company, the individual will want to keep working (even gain rank within the company) so it would stand to reason, sending a reliable, useful, durable product to the public for all its accolades would gain the company respect, loyalties, and return business...
Instead. within a day of being released, there's a patch and a stack of updates to keep your computer humming till (what seems like) rapture. So... not even a day of operation? Not a couple hours test-drive on the information highway? No, more updates... more patches... more "sorry, but this shit don't work right either, so you'll be able to have use of your computer in a few more days... weeks... oh hell, just forget about it and smoke weed like a good little soldier... :o)
As much as I am sure that planned obsolescence is real, I also believe that many times it isn't a conscious decision by the manufacturer and is actually a natural part of statistics and market pricing.
That's true and it would be difficult in a lot of cases to prove intention.
I had a USB wifi adapter fail, within a day, exactly a month after I started using it. It's not like I can sue the Chinese company responsible.

He doesn't mention a VERY important reason why capacitors fail; because manufacturers are cheapskates who under-rate their components to save a few cents. Lower voltage devices are cheaper, but putting a 6 volt capacitor in a 5 volt circuit is suicide for a circuit board.
So put a 2 volt capacitor wrong connected in there and everything will work fine again
I believe he mentioned the capacitor plague of the 2000s
that wasn't due to de-rating though but bad production methods, the electrolyte was contaminated.
Just wrong though. A 6 volt capacitor can STAND 6 volt, and actually is "over-planned" by 1 volt and works just fine in a 5 volt circuit. It's more like they put max (!) a 5 volt capacitor in a 5 volt circuit or maybe go even slightly lower, planning for no headroom (though turning on certain devices draws MORE volt than usually is there for a short periods of time), therefore the lifespan is shorter. Headroom would just cost more money, so they try to avoid it. But you were close lol :p

I also prefer the brushed ali build quality of older 1960s/70s hifi equipment too. You struggle to get that these days its made in either plastic or black and rather bland looking instead.
Dyson obsoletes all his models, as soon as he releases a new model, he stops making parts for the old one, and when it breaks you can't fix it.

Nice overview. Three key points to add:
1. Important to stress the most common causes of failure and how users can avoid them (e.g. heat, abuse of connectors, dropping, liquids).
2. Biggest problem I've found is that websites become bloated with videos, pop-ups, scripts, etc. so that more powerful hardware is required to deal with them (alternately, ad blockers).
3. Some of the long-term problems you mention could be planned for by ensuring that vulnerable parts can be replaced. Batteries, hard drives and memory for example.

I have always had issues with surface mounted components in that not enough solder typically makes the connections to them leading to breaking intermittent connectivity over time through heat and cold stresses having that lead to ultimate failures within the circuitry. Indeed, planned obsolescence due to lack of enough solder on the connections. Through time, they break apart and no longer are dependable. What's worse is that in the wave soldering process it IS possible to bring forth enough solder to make that not be at issue, but most manufacturers don't and/or refuse to make it any sort of a priority.
cheap manufactering
A lot of it is ROHS requiring solder be lead free (In order to be imported from china). Leaded soldering so much more effective. Other solder chemicals like silver can be used but it's too expensive to be used on a wide scale.
THANK YOU! I have always wondered what exactly 'deteriorated' in electronics that made them 'old'.
now explain why my IBM 8088 built in 1988 still work perfectly but a pc i bought in 2005 is basically a paper weight i scrap for parts and uh screws cant get enough screws
If electrical engineers wanted to, they could make things last like for ever. But there's the thing with earning money...
Different devices have different life spans. It is not that old technology lasts better. New devices just cannot have lasted long and we see only those examples of old technology that have lasted.
If they were made to last long they would cost too much.
Planned obsolescence
The computer from 1988 was $1500+, the computer from 2005 is 50x faster but cost
Planned obsolescence is a scumbag move, but even more on mobile devices. In PC you can get away with an i5 2500 at this very moment, on phones the next android version is most likely not working for your model, no idea how it works for IOs though.
Apple's updates for the iPhone are pretty good and they support devices going a few years back. The new update that launched yesterday is available for the iPhone 5, which was released in September 2012. I have a iPhone 5s (2013) and it's still working fine. The only really noticeable speed decrease is when I'm loading the facebook/messenger app where it takes up to 10 seconds for some reason. The biggest problem is that the 16GB memory (more than enough in 2013) is too small right now and there is no way to upgrade it other than buying the 32/64 GB back in 2013.
get away with an i5 2500, my dad was using a Pentuim D (two pentuim 4s) as a daily driver for a while at work. My nan still uses a C2D machine, and i had a gaming machine using a Q6600, nothing is wrong with the LGA775 CPUs and they still work lovely.
the A7 is still a powerful chip, it outperforms most of the budget sector today.
on android each upgrade makes the device better, if you can install the newer version. I'm using a Sony Xperia M with 4.3, and is quick as was with 4.1 (maybe a little bit quicker but eh)
fuck you talking about. im still using a samsung note edge from 2012 and its doing just fine. running latest version of android no problem.

It fascinats me how electricity behaves very much like water. The effects he's referring to become far more noticeable when you deal with high energy electronics that operate in the megawatt range. A lot of parts in these type of devices have to be replaced due to wear caused by the huge amounts of current going through them. The damage resembles sort of the wear and tear of water on on pipes and river banks overtime.

How old was it ?
He grilled cheeseburgers and fries on it. just kidding.
the military class is absolute bullshit compared to actual military class motherboard which is water stress and drop resistant. maybe like titanium cpu pins on motherboard and waterproof coating maybe would kinda make it "military class"
Just a marketing wank. There's no official objective standards it needs to meet to be qualified as "military grade", they could probably cite some paper pusher using a cheap pre-built in an ROTC staff room as validation of it's military grade quality.
What does "military grade" even stands for? Do soldiers bring those along to play some Club Penguin (oh...) in between raids? There's no official tests or standards to it, neither an independent org to test them, it's just something people eat up thinking it's actually better - "oh, why I paid a hell lot more for this mb that offer pretty much the same of much cheaper alternated?

Both my c64's work perfectly, as do 3 of my 1541 drives. I have had to swap a few chips on my '85 c64. My silver label '82 c64 is perfect, and that has mostly original '82 chips.
I got the impression from the video that new and smaller architecture CPUs would die faster because the transistors are so small. So maybe older machines will last much much longer due to the larger architecture of the CPU.
also if you never use it that will probably help prolong its lifespan.
So that makes me wonder if I buy the newest and most expensive CPU available today, will it be dead in 5 years, whereas a CPU from 20 years ago would probably last many many times longer?

Props for mentioning electromigration and hot carrier injection. First time I think I've ever heard either mentioned outside of the industry (even if the latter not by name).
There's also another phenomenon related to HCI: negative bias temperature instability. Similar results, different cause, but it's reversible. NBTI is a big problem for modern devices, but ICs have circuitry built into them to counter it.
This was very educational! I'm an EE/inventor. I have a flying invention on my channel with no moving parts except ions and electrons. I was trying to figure out reasons why it isn't too reliable yet, other than the obvious. Perhaps, if I add more lightweight cooling fins it will at least prolong the life of the affected parts. I never hear much about electromigration before either.
Don't often click on the random vids YT recommends but when I saw a much younger looking Luke I got curious. An interesting fact relating to thermal expansion: The first electronic* computer, the Colossus I, was built during WWII to help decrypt Nazi Tunny Codes used by their naval forces (their army used Enigma codes which were defeated with an electromechancial computer called La Bomba). When the proposition to build Colossus was first made there was a lot of push back because it was a well known fact that vacuum tubes (which the British call thermionic valves) failed quite rapidly, fortunately there was someone there (I think Tommy Flowers) that had experience with vacuum tubes and knew that so long as they kept the tubes warm they would last a lot longer. The reason the tubes normally failed is because of rapid heating and cooling.
*Colossus I and it's successors were special purpose computers, the first general purpose computer was made later using similar principles.
The apple reference was spot on!

I would love to see you guys making a clip about how long can you keep a smartphone after the last software updates
Shame you skipped one of the more common failure causes, especially in modern computers: timing mismatch induced short circuiting. When you build massive networks of logic gates to form all of the necessary logic to make a computer of any sort. You have a minimum time you must wait before you can trust the output of any logical inversion, the time it takes for the signal to go from the input side to the output side. When you break the essential circuits down to logical inversion in diagram form, it's pretty clear there are some paths faster than others. Imagine this: you have a wire that can have voltages in it ranging from 0.85V to 1.35V. Some things connected to this wire can't handle the full 1.35V while other's can. It's just not feasible or even possible to separate them due to what they are needed for. So you build a gate system that will shut off that power wire to anything that might be hurt by the full 1.35V if it's about to be changed to that voltage. Simple solution, works really good majority of the time. However we want blazing fast chips so we do this as fast as possible with no wiggle room for maybe an electron going missing from that "shut off low voltage circuits" line.
Chips suffer from this a lot, they are built for it with a stated tolerance level based around exactly that problem. The higher end of the tolerance is where it's going to happen enough to notice a difference in lifespan of the chip. This is also where the mistakenly though up "Planned Obsolescence", at least as rampantly, actually comes from. They know in a few years, your most likely going to upgrade your machine or just replace the part at significantly lower price from age depreciation. So why not pick how hard your pushing things to provide the best bang for the buck for the range of time your expected to own it. It's a tradeoff of lifespan for balls to the wall power.
Alan Hunter this doesn't explain why electronics fail over time. If a designer designs around this 'hold time', then we expect not to have this occur. So does this 'hold time' change over time?
Alan Hunter

downvote. voltage moves at 10% the speed of light, this is a fucking non-issue even if the circuit was a meter longer.

they dont die. they evolve. they are learn how get stronger, how to evolve to think for themselves, and rise to take humanity out. but theres one man, one man who can stop it all. He must send back his father to ensure his birth, and ensure he live to stop the machines. He must also make sure that his mother and younger self lives to fight the fight, so he sends two machines back in to different times, so he becomes the leader must be.

However, yes since the electrons are part of atoms and wouldn't be useful without the protons and neutrons. But then, you literally are doing everything in your life with atoms because all matter (including your body) is made up of atoms. So, everything you do in life involves at least the atoms that make up your body, the ground you walk on and the air you breath... and more if you sit down, touch something or in any way interact with anything. There is just no escaping the involvement of atoms in life.

Because Linus drops them
Mechanical and hydraulic systems usually give a fair bit of warning before they fail completely, but when electronics fail, it's usually without any warning. This is what concerns me about modern vehicles, as "drive by wire" systems are becoming more and more common. Electronics tend to be one of the less reliable aspects of a car.
4:00 I would have said the voltage drops as a consequence, but it is ampere, the flow of electricity (electrons), that gets diminished and since the resistance is almost static the voltage has to shrink as well.

Over three decades of managing hardware, the main and most prevalent culprits are heat cycling (don’t turn off after running hot), vibration, bad power line conditions, software updates degrade perf and even can cause physical damage.
Rip over clocking
i almost burnt out my 1000$ gpu with over clock every thing started crashing and i was like oh $#*%

WHO SAID HARAMBE DIED???
kelvin kam me
Everyone.
Harambe really is dead. A child fell into his cage and Harambe decided to play with him. The zookeepers thought that he tried to kill the child, so that led to him being shot.
hey current is not due to physical flow of electron as you said at 2:48 actually it is due vibration of electrons hence transfering energy from one point to another.
Good topic! For some reason, I've always gotten nearly euphoric over the natural failure of electronics (and anything else). There's no better excuse to go out and buy something new than what you have just not working anymore and being unrepairable.
Do good electronics get go to heaven?
Trev6511 depends on what the user did with them. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
He didn't ask to display furry porn.
Trev6511 yep, my Nokia 3310 is in heaven
NuclearFX Nokia 3310's die?

Do androids dream of electric sheep?
According to Ridley Scott, they dream of electric unicorns.
But what do iOS dream of?
Ios dreams about electric apples
They don't.
More importantly; are electric sheep afraid of androids?
BTW: android sounds like hemorrhoids for robots.
Thinking Harambe would die as a meme didn't age well
this channel is stock images the show
I thought its because they were made in China
Actually though i feel like alot off chinese things are so cheaply made that it makes it easy to upgrade/replace if needed even though they might not last as long.
msi is chinese
made in china is the problem for electronics they made it cheap,i have been a tv repair man for just over 20 years once lcd's came out in full force i got out of it can't repair garbage
If you start producing electronics in the US, like in good old days, you'll also have to pay $10 000 for a gaming rig, also like in good old days.
DAAAAAAAM!!!!!! YOU DID NOT
I did not think any body can cause anxiety and stress in just the first, 0:05 seconds . You succeed dude . Good video BTW
My xbox 360 is very slow, and it sometimes it shows a red screen/error
Esser Gaming ' Rest in peace

Have you herd about the xbox one?
yes microsoft is about to launch it.
Esser Gaming ' reball it
NOPE
The capacitors wouldn't die if they used Bwandos instead of "the others guys electrolytes". Bwandos; pcbs crave it
SavvyGaming some companies use water like from the toilet to cool their computers with. It sounds like a job for brawndo.
It's got what plants crave, and computers are just like plants, because reasons
Stunning explosion alert at 5:00 and afterward...
My Nintendo 64 still works.... Wonder how long until planned obsolescence kicks in
Still working??
Nvidia and Planned obsolescence make an annoyingly cute couple.
An annoyingly cute couple... that also doesn't exist.
Vyor Generic Last Name One look at the witcher 3 forums say otherwise.
the witcher 3 runs like shit regardless of the card you use unless it's one of the newer ones. The 780 is what I'd consider the minimum for max quality.
Depends of the context. My sister's Nvidia Shield tablet has been a great buy, as a device that came with Android 4.4 out of the box and is currently running 7. Name a company that keeps Android tablets up to date for that long, instead of making the Samsung-style move of updating it once on the first year and then neglecting it? Of course when it comes to PC hardware it might be different, although even on that subject I have no reasons to complain.
Andre, do you know Android OS is basically "linuxmobile"? It's free if you don't mind hunting the downloads and rooting the drive.
Actually, the last Android smartphone I had, I wiped and put in Linuxpuppies... It's really tiny, but you can customize it... I worked with it for nearly three years and sold the thing to a "phone-geek" for twice what i paid... lolz...
Sometimes my remote that I use on my tv stops working , and installing fresh batteries doesn't fix the problem . But I have discovered that by taking out the batteries and leaving it alone for maybe an hour , when I put the batts back in , it seems to work fine again ! What happened ? Was maybe a capacitor acquiring charge and retaining it , but taking out the power source and not using the remote for a while allowing that charge to leak off ?
