    Alex is not kidding when he says orders are usually shipped out the same day. I placed an order so late in the day that I was anticipating it would be shipped out the next day. It surprised me that my order was shipped out the same day. Amazing! I appreciate Alex keeping us informed of his products. Life is a two way street. I wish Alex continued success in his business so that we can continue to receive informative content.

Another lesson in micro soldering and hygiene all mixed into one. Thank you, God bless.

    That's SO good that you said you don't have to keep the flux in the fridge and that you can ignore the "use by date" printed on it!
    I only need to do SMD soldering occasionally and the short use by date has put me off buying the rather expensive flux, but now that I know I can just ignore it, I can buy some!

    A friend of mine had a 2011 20.5" iMac. When the HDD died, he tried to install a new HDD but ripped the screen cable and just gave up and bought a 2019 4K 20.5. His old iMac was never used so I bought it from him for the equivalent of 75 USD... but I also made him pay for the shipping so for around half that amount. I ordered a new screen cable, put in an SSD and now it works like a charm. Still have it and although it can't be updated to the lates MacOS, it doesn't matter to me. I bought a cheap Apple 30" Cinema Display and have connected it to the iMac. 100 USD for both and it's great!

  • @opujhum
    @opujhum 10 месяцев назад

    N.B. Nothing to do with your electronic channel but with your comments in the video:
    Just a precision about your "light" theory that i am sure we can agree on. Harsh light vs Diffused. It's not about being close or far away but it's about the size of the light compared to the subject.
    By default if you take the same light and move it further, it is going to be "smaller". Closer and it will be "bigger". Your soft box is diffusing your light by "transforming/increasing" the surface of your light source.
    Best visual example i can describe would be: Take a candle and put it right next to your face. It's not big enough to light up all around your head and will create harsh shadow. Take a light source bigger than your body (shower curtain lit from behind) and put it 6 feet away from you and your head will be surrounded by light and more softer shadow.
    It has to do with the physic of how light particules travel.
    Lets not forget that if you move a light source further away and/or increase it's surface, you'll need to increase the power output of the source but that's another topic :)
