      Some companies made stuff in the US and Europe but cost quite a bit more. I remember going to boutique or extremely niche sites back in those days for cooling components not found in the usual brick and mortar stores. FrozenPC was one of them and the rest escaped from memory at the moment. I had some moderate and high quality tubing and UV lights from a small shop near me (before they went out of business in the 2010s) and even some decent stuff from CompUSA. I think a lot of the mainstream UV stuff I bought was made by Antec.

    24:49 There’s no electrical safety standards on Ali-E either. Note: rechargeable battery devices there simply have no voltage regulation.

      That it CAN kill you, not that it necessarily WILL kill you. And that is potentially enough to kill someone, if they're unlucky.
      And if we're trading tales of electrocution, I got shocked by a wall socket - and I'm in the UK, so that's 240V, by the way - when I was a kid (about 9 or 10 years old, roughly).
      I had a cassette player (which dates how long ago this was) but it didn't have a UK three-pin plug, only a two-pin plug (I guess my parents purchased it in Europe or America or somewhere?). So I had to use a two-pin to three-pin adapter. The adapter was in the socket and turned on, and the two pin fell out. So I went to plug it back into the adapter, but I was insufficiently careful and my finger was (barely) touching one of the pins as I inserted it.
      It actually caused muscle paralysis. I initially couldn't will my hand to move away. The shock was keeping my hand in place. But, eventually, I was able to will my hand to move. I was in my room - no-one else around - so if I'd been unable to eventually force my hand to move... who knows? "Potentially fatal", as was said.
      And, yeah, a short temporary shock isn't so much the issue, generally, but that it could cause muscle paralysis - the electricity messing up the nervous system's messaging to say "move your hand away" (because the nervous system uses electricity itself, so there can be "interference" from being shocked) - and if you can't get yourself out of that paralysis, that's what'll do you in.

I mean let me be clear it's not good, but it basically never gets to that flaky stage of the stock grey stuff every OEM seems to use and keeps on thermally conducting in a mediocre way for a long time. I used it on basically every office computer, laptop or desktop, that I've repaired for years and it keeps the bits from overheating. Side note because of how oily it is if you get it on something you don't want to, and you will because oil, you'll look like you've been fingering the tin man until you scrub your hands like you're prepping for surgery.

    Electronics designer here, after you've washed the PCB with isopropyl alcohol, you HAVE TO use paper towels (lint free if possible) to wick the alcohol off the board. If you just let it evaporate, it'll leave all that crap that was suspended by the alcohol on the board, EVERYWHERE. by washing the board, and then wicking the alcohol off, you pull out also all the stuff that was suspended in the alcohol and you'll end up with a clean PCB.
    This is obviously unless you have some pressure washing system that washes the pcb and doens't leave any residue suspended and it'll instead washes away to a tank or through filters etc.

      @@thelegendaryklobb2879 just because it works doesn't make it acceptable. All those certifying authority logos you see on proper electric appliances are there to show that stuff like this is not an issue in whatever product you bought. They go way beyond "if you do it right, it's safe". It is important to ensure that even if people do things wrong, or something fails, that the appliance will still fail safely. Many appliances will make their outer casing grounded. No matter what happens, through bad installation or damaged insulation or whatever, if live AC voltage manages to make it to the outer casing, it will immediately short to ground preventing electrocution and tripping the breaker. Other devices where that is not possible or desired usually have double insulation: there are at least two barriers of insulation between the outside and the live voltage inside. Even if one of them is compromised, the other should still protect you.
      And those are just some of the basics that are usually required to sell anything in Western countries. There are a massive amount of rules covering electrical safety, often written in blood. Having a removable rubber plug is absolutely not good enough.

      That's impossible. You need quartz tube lights to make UVC, these are just plastic covered LEDs. They only really top out at relatively safe UVA for fundamental material reasons. Like I'm sure they're just 405-410nm, because that's just cheaper and actually works. You can make 360nm but that already pretty much eats the cover while still not being a hazard.
      Obviously the fixture has other more banal ways of murdering you.

      It's long wave UV which is just black light. The dangerous ones is the short wave UV but it'll be quite expensive and comes in fluorescent tube instead of leds.

    25:14 they gave you the plug to put in the end of that thing so there isn't exposed 120v. plug it in and cap the ends. now you are safe and you don't have to waste those lights.

    20:00 here's the rub, when you do that, you fuck up the pass through, so never do that to a proper board of any kind where the holes are copper/gold plated, because those are ground planes passing from one side to the other of the board. Threading shreds them apart, because coating isn't thick.
    One of the reasons why i absolutely loved the 90's when tech wasn't as good (in coating said holes) and some manufacturers used copper pass-through eyelets, making for some super tough mounting points on boards. Mostly low run stuff, and heavy duty military gear had those.
    A shame this isn't used today, i'd pay more for genuine copper eyelet mounting holes rather than those super thin coatings.
