    In my experience, when you're trying to break something, it doesn't happen.
    But then when you need to get something done, and you're on a time crunch and can't really afford a slow down, that's when shit wants to break.

    Going back to Mehdi's "Meteor hitting the earth" analogy. It becomes a lot more likely for a meteor to hit someone if there are more people, so more powerful ram with denser memory should be easier to kill.

    • @Mechness
      @Mechness 15 дней назад

      Um. Surely less dense RAM would mean you need more chips to get the same capacity, which is analogous to more people as there are more points of contact a finger could touch. More dense RAM would therefore be less likely to be killed because there's fewer conductors on the board that you can touch.

    @MinceWalsh Год назад +18

    Having been an electronics technician for a very long time I've had quite a lot of experience with static damage. The built in protections nowadays will save you 999/1000. But, what doesn't get much attention is that even though the static didn't kill it, there is the possibility of light damage that causes a microscopic hot spot and current leakage that causes infrequent instability especially in ram. It can cause random crashes that happen at given times or can cause the damage to gradually get worse until full failure.

  • @dojomojomofo
    @dojomojomofo Год назад +10

    Amazing video, both of you, lmao...Thank you so much for putting up with all that pain.
    I've worked inside PCs since 286 and I've never even touched a disconnected ESD strap to move it out of the way. Literally never even laid hands on one. I've also never killed a device with ESD.
    My dad just taught me that when you're working on a PC, you touch the chassis (especially if it's plugged into the wall - but it shouldn't be, and so do it anyway to get on the same level!) very often, and do what you can to never touch contacts and traces on boards you're handling - just touch the edges, like old photographs. That way, you minimize your differential charge to the piece you're handling and maximize your distance to where it could arc to you. That's what we did before things were designed smartly.
    On the other hand, my Mom's TV survived a nearby lightning strike that made her home's doorknob spark(!!) Her TV died. I opened it up and there was a special gap on the board for arcing extra power. It had a black scorched blast mark across it! I replaced a blown fuse and most of the TV still worked after that. Modern electronics engineers are pretty f'n rad tbh. Much respect for that kind of foresight.

      @Kenjuudo 2 года назад +10

      ​@@iLumberjack It is always true.
      Think about it this way: What is bad for you kills you and what is good for you makes you stronger.
      "that which is bad for you" = "that which kills you".
      "that which is good for you" = "that which makes you stronger".
      Therefore you can remove the redundancy. You will end up with this list (!) of two concepts: That which kills you and that which makes you stronger.
      That which kills you is the opposite of that which makes you stronger, so to end up with the saying in question, you will have to negate one of the concepts:
      That which kills you does NOT make you stronger.
      Or:
      That which does NOT kill you makes you stronger.

  • @ianwilson1519
    @ianwilson1519 Год назад

    As you said several times, the discharge can be to the ground plane, which avoids the sensitive bits. It is also possible under that circumstance that an adjacent active component is partially stressed, and that that shock can partially damage the circuit. You may not see the failure straight away, but it could manifest itself some years down the line. The only way to characterize that sort of damage is by looking at the MTBFs of the abused components. I also seem to remember some years ago where IBM or such like had an electron micrograph showing a partially vaporized metal layer within an IC highlighting this problem.

      @@lemau8458 Oh was this not up to your standard? Well, let me try again.
      You see, part of shared experiences includes sharing what parts you enjoy. On a platform like RUclips, it's common for people to call out which parts they liked in comments. Comments then appear as text at the bottom of videos, which other viewers can read and then relate to (or not). Other users can even reply (hence me now writing this in reply to your reply; a re-reply as it were).
      In this case, I found it funny when Electroboom made the above quoted comment, but specifically when he said "unfortunately." You see, this was amusing because it implies that he would find it fortunate if it could be lethal. Of course, we all know that normal people don't want to have a lethal shock gun, and that's where the humor derives.
      Now, in my comment I made a subtle distinction in the quote. I put asterisks (*) around the word "unfortunately." These asterisks are used to emphasize a particular word. However, it would seem my efforts had failed as you assumed I was simply quoting the video.
      Accursed written language and it's lack of nuance! If only you could have *heard* me emphasize that word, perhaps we would not be having this discussion!
      But now you are aware of what said asterisks mean. I hope this has enriched your understanding of the nuances of RUclips comments. Moreover, I deeply hope that this comment is more up to your standards of contributing to your day.
      Good day, sir or madam.

    Well, this definitely makes me feel a lot better about opening my laptop. They were deliberately trying to kill components, and failed a lot of the time.
