00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:10.880
if you've ever built your own pc you've probably noticed that most of the

00:00:07.520 --> 00:00:13.360
components compact in these shiny bags

00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:17.600
these are called esd bags and they exist to prevent the sensitive electronics

00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:21.920
inside from getting accidentally zapped by a static charge that built up on your

00:00:19.439 --> 00:00:26.400
body when you were doing moonwalking on the carpet or putting on a brand new

00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:31.599
tooth from lttstore.com but how dangerous is static electricity

00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:36.399
components actually to find out we have arranged the

00:00:33.680 --> 00:00:42.320
crossover event of the century and i'm not just talking about the crossover

00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:46.320
between his eyebrows we have got the one

00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:47.520
the only electro boom in the studio

00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:51.760
hi oh my god what are we even doing right

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:55.120
now no no it's a little bit too loud let's

00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:59.440
uh do you want to touch it sure oh not really no no no go ahead i i encourage

00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:05.199
you first i gotta tell you about our sponsor

00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:07.360
see sonic was all too eager to be

00:01:05.199 --> 00:01:11.439
involved as soon as we said that i was gonna have this guy here and probably

00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:15.439
going to get well hurt

00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:18.920
go buy a sea sonic power supply if you support this endeavor

00:01:26.080 --> 00:01:31.759
i'm the kind of person that doesn't even like to lick a 9-volt you know to see if

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:34.799
it's charged because it's like is it worse than that yeah man come on touch

00:01:33.360 --> 00:01:40.880
it oh oh that's fine see see you're scared

00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:44.640
for no reason well i'm not scared for no reason i've watched your video

00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:48.159
well it's low power i can increase the power i saw your electric guitar

00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:52.799
that's the music channel burner now bring it close you feel it not at all

00:01:50.399 --> 00:01:56.320
probably tell me why that is

00:01:54.399 --> 00:02:00.159
the reason is that instead of the arc going through a single point on your

00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:03.360
skin it's going over a large surface in your hand so

00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:07.360
it spreads out you don't feel it i can actually increase the power now a little

00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:11.440
bit maybe feel it

00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:16.080
no actually there you go ultimate power

00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:22.480
let's try something let's do the same thing with that oh sure

00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:25.280
and i increase the frequency again

00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:28.400
now let me see if it jumps to me oh oh my god

00:02:26.959 --> 00:02:32.879
yeah why why does it hurt when you do it so

00:02:31.040 --> 00:02:37.519
it's just because it's a very small it's a point yeah it's more on a single nerve

00:02:35.200 --> 00:02:40.720
rather than spreading over a big surface but then

00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:44.720
this is not the same as the static discharge that we worry will kill our

00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:48.480
our RAM stick while we're installing it is it no it's not uh how do we how do we

00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:54.080
simulate esd that would be with a special gun

00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:57.840
called the esd gun so this is it then yes that's okay that's how you break it

00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:02.800
and all it does is simulate like a finger touching something yeah yeah so

00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:06.959
it's basically for humans handling electronics simulating that

00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:09.840
and then what else we got in here this is the gun

00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:17.120
with the long cable and these parts we can censor that i

00:03:14.959 --> 00:03:21.280
think i just saw a robot dildo and that's where it goes

00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:27.200
before anyone gets upset by the way the electronics that we're going to be sacrificing today are from free geek a

00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:32.400
local electronic salvager that says yes these are working but no these are not

00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:37.760
valuable parts that anybody would want integrated into a salvage pc so

00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:41.200
go ahead and kill it we'll take it right back and make sure that it gets recycled

00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:45.280
properly do you want to try this one and see how it feels

00:03:42.799 --> 00:03:48.640
um okay yeah that's fine it was like a duller pain

00:03:46.959 --> 00:03:52.720
i don't know more shocking more shocking yes yes why

00:03:50.239 --> 00:03:57.840
well it is dc and it is like the duration of the pulse is longer so it

00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:01.680
could feel actually it could hurt more compared to the tesla coil that's why i

00:03:59.760 --> 00:04:04.799
asked you before and you didn't answer me properly you just said yeah it

00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:08.480
depends and then you pointed a gun at me i can put a higher voltage if you want

00:04:06.720 --> 00:04:13.120
or are you okay with 12 kilowatts i don't know sure you tell me

00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:18.560
okay i'll put 25 let me know how it feels 25 kilowatt discharge to live okay

00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:25.680
feel the pain again ah okay go ahead ah okay no it's fine i can't make it lethal

00:04:24.080 --> 00:04:28.880
unfortunately but here that's very helpful to know what kind of voltage

00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:32.400
could i build up on my body while i'm just walking around my house before i

00:04:30.479 --> 00:04:35.919
build my computer at home you usually pick up 8 to 12. if you build your

00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:39.520
computer you just want to ground yourself with a proper strap right you

00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:44.400
don't you don't want to have any charge on you because like rams

00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:50.800
or internals of the computers components ics chips they are usually rated for two

00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:52.720
kilovolts maximum that's it now i always

00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:58.400
ground myself correctly when i'm working on our projects that's what he says

00:04:55.040 --> 00:05:01.040
ow ah it shocked me ow you know let's

00:04:58.400 --> 00:05:05.360
say hypothetically i've had situations where i've gone to pick up a RAM stick

00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:08.639
and i have actually felt the ark but the RAM stick did turn out to still work how

00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:12.160
could that be imagine all of us are standing on earth

00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:18.560
right if a meteorite hits you on the head you die

00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:22.639
but if the meteorite hits the earth the whole earth shakes a little bit everyone

00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:27.360
on earth is fine right it's the same thing on the ground here when you hit

00:05:24.320 --> 00:05:29.600
the ground the whole

00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:33.360
board moves together right the voltage on the board

00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:38.720
everything moves together but if you hit a certain weak spot

00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:41.680
then so it's dead if you managed to not

00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:46.560
kill a component with an esd discharge you got lucky yeah pretty much yes

00:05:45.520 --> 00:05:52.800
now you want to kill it zap that way hold on a second

00:05:50.320 --> 00:05:56.160
should i be holding it while you do that let's see what happens well hold on a

00:05:54.479 --> 00:05:59.120
second okay fine

00:06:00.479 --> 00:06:07.360
oh you shouldn't hold it you knew that was gonna happen exactly but you have to learn your

00:06:05.280 --> 00:06:11.840
lesson the hard way so i had to do it is it helpful or does it hinder that i'm

00:06:10.080 --> 00:06:15.280
touching it when you zap it no it actually makes it worse it makes it

00:06:13.520 --> 00:06:18.080
worse because when i zap it it goes to your body so there is a path depending

00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:21.520
on where you touch it could actually kill me it might already be dead

00:06:20.080 --> 00:06:25.840
actually only one way to find out

00:06:23.440 --> 00:06:30.080
when i discharged it at 25 kilowatts uh i think we killed it sir

00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:36.319
is it dead it it appears to be dead as a doornail the play doesn't have a oh

00:06:33.520 --> 00:06:40.479
sorry so the case does work as a ground now we know because i felt that not just

00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:46.400
on my back but also in my finger that's why they say pain is nature's teacher

00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:50.160
got my eye on you okay let's not kill them so quickly this time so to give

00:06:48.479 --> 00:06:55.120
this a chance of surviving what should we do uh don't hold it in your hand oh okay uh

00:06:53.680 --> 00:07:00.840
and are you gonna do the same voltage again it's 12 kilovolts now see all this area

00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:05.599
behind it is ground so let's zap that ready uh yeah i'm ready see it doesn't

00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:08.720
jump as much anymore yeah i see that it's only ddr2 but it's hard to watch

00:07:07.520 --> 00:07:14.720
but now that you touched it you might have killed it oh damn it ah it's alive huh

00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:18.960
yes good hey all right the system works Linus didn't

00:07:16.960 --> 00:07:23.759
kill it you were involved no no no no no you don't put it on me so

00:07:21.520 --> 00:07:30.840
just to be clear they do esd testing on a finished product not on the internal

00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:30.840
component on the casing okay

00:07:30.880 --> 00:07:38.800
wasn't me it was him so is there a way for me to simulate what we did the first

00:07:36.400 --> 00:07:43.440
time but with my body instead of with the gun i have to keep charging you so

00:07:41.840 --> 00:07:48.240
wait wait hold on we need to have a plan okay you don't even have the RAM stick on hand ready so i don't want to be i

00:07:47.039 --> 00:07:54.240
don't want to be doing this any longer than we have to okay so so you tell me when it's time actually

00:07:52.080 --> 00:07:59.120
no you can just move the stick to touch me when you think it's good if it

00:07:55.680 --> 00:08:01.680
doesn't stop jumping let me know

00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:04.400
stop jumping yeah stop jumping good now you're charged

00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:11.199
that was a proper human simulation i guess we are booting but that clearly

00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:15.120
took longer right with stranger behavior than before should we see what happens

00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:19.759
if we hit it again sure okay a different pin

00:08:17.840 --> 00:08:23.599
sure we want it to go off of what we hope is a data pin right right so then

00:08:21.919 --> 00:08:29.280
you should you should touch this part yeah okay so i'll hold it like this okay

00:08:26.400 --> 00:08:33.279
all right ready charge me sure is it is it good yeah

00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:39.200
okay you're trying i'm fully charged fully charged and i'm gonna touch one of

00:08:34.959 --> 00:08:40.719
these ouch oh is it running yeah okay

00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:45.839
then unplug it let's try it one more time okay so tell me something if it

00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:49.920
arcs anyway could we have it arc through a chip no not through the chip because

00:08:47.839 --> 00:08:53.440
this plastic stuff is quite uh non-conductive it will block the esd

00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:57.600
it'll probably go around it hitting something else got it already then well

00:08:55.519 --> 00:09:01.200
let's just let's just hit it then yeah just let's just feel the pain how long

00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:06.000
how long should we go i don't know man

00:09:03.760 --> 00:09:10.560
this is five hertz yes all right and it's gonna hurts

00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:14.050
yeah okay very good okay oh let's go ready wait wait oh my god is that what

00:09:12.560 --> 00:09:21.120
you're going to do yes kate oh my god

00:09:16.959 --> 00:09:24.959
if it's not dead it's quite a strong RAM

00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:27.120
oh holy [ __ ] it is back maybe it going

00:09:24.959 --> 00:09:30.640
through our body loses some of its power so it's much milder on the RAM what you

00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:34.320
can do is do just leave the board on your hand and i just zap the board right

00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:39.120
on the chips and see what happens like this oh or charge you and zap with

00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:42.160
my finger let me know if it hurts more when i zap here

00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:48.880
wait where are you zapping probably going to hurt more probably yeah i just

00:09:44.880 --> 00:09:48.880
okay i'll zap you and was that forever

00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:54.320
okay good fine ready oh my god

00:09:55.680 --> 00:10:01.920
oh my god it better be dead now

00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:06.480
damn it bloody hell it's posting wow this is some good RAM we can break it in

00:10:03.839 --> 00:10:11.200
half forget it then that module is magic in the meantime let's try another module

00:10:08.560 --> 00:10:14.160
so let's try to kill this one through us so that's this will be our last attempt

00:10:12.800 --> 00:10:18.880
at that okay 12 kilowatts

00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:24.959
charged how could you

00:10:20.640 --> 00:10:28.000
where are you how could i i trusted you

00:10:24.959 --> 00:10:28.000
you did no such thing

00:10:28.079 --> 00:10:34.720
okay that works fine what we've learned so far is that the weakest discharge to

00:10:32.640 --> 00:10:38.640
the module was when it was just sitting on the table because it's not grounded

00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:42.720
to anything and it reaches equilibrium very quickly

00:10:39.839 --> 00:10:46.079
then we have a human hold it and we get a much stronger discharge so that's

00:10:44.560 --> 00:10:50.959
because of the capacitance of the human body right yeah you have a much body of

00:10:48.160 --> 00:10:55.360
charge to transfer electricity but we can make it much stronger by grounding

00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:59.519
the human body so the charge passes much more easily through it

00:10:57.200 --> 00:11:03.839
um so that's what you so wait really this is your method okay so we've got a

00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:07.680
ground to your wedding ring and then we're gonna charge you with this one and

00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:11.760
then touch it with that one okay ready here we go oh my god

00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:18.399
ready where should i touch oh my god

00:11:15.920 --> 00:11:23.519
that was much more painful what the hell it's not dying we go

00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:26.880
through so much pain for nothing who designed this stupid RAM well how

00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:31.360
did we kill the first one did we just get lucky i think so

00:11:29.839 --> 00:11:35.839
we have a new plan what's the new plan so we're gonna

00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:39.760
connect it directly to ground so we won't feel pain the problem is that

00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:43.600
because we are in pain we let go quickly we connect it to ground and just zap it

00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:47.680
directly and hopefully it'll kill it ready

00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:47.680
die

00:11:49.680 --> 00:11:59.360
okay you think it's different i think it's dead i think it's dead is it coming up

00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:59.360
hold on no no i think it's dead

00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:05.519
just because we had to create such a contrived scenario in order to kill the

00:12:04.160 --> 00:12:10.399
memory module doesn't necessarily mean that you just

00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:13.360
shouldn't worry about electrostatic discharge

00:12:11.680 --> 00:12:17.680
let's show you something different this more realistic scenario is not that

00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:20.959
different from what electroboom just set up on the table

00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:25.760
because the module is plugged into a computer that is plugged into the wall

00:12:23.040 --> 00:12:31.600
it is grounded in a very similar manner now what we don't know is whether or not

00:12:29.040 --> 00:12:36.079
our lead was actually connected to like a data pin and obviously here none of

00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:40.720
the data pins would be grounded in that manner but this is still

00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:46.320
sorry but this is still way more realistic and

00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:51.600
not that different from what we just did so to test it we're going to charge me

00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:54.639
up and i'm going to so i don't know give me five hertz and

00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:59.120
then i'll reach in and take out the module how about one hertz

00:12:56.800 --> 00:13:02.560
one here so okay you are weak that way on okay sure

00:13:02.560 --> 00:13:10.639
okay yeah oh okay okay

00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:12.560
okay oh screw it let's just go

00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:18.000
dang it okay okay so the point of that exercise

00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:23.680
was to simulate me working in a very careless environment building up charge

00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:27.200
on my body while i'm working on the pc is that is that very reasonable that's

00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:30.639
right yeah okay but as you also saw it's very hard to

00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:35.360
get inside without touching anything else unless you're working on an open

00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:38.959
test bench for example in which case this is totally realistic i really don't

00:13:37.680 --> 00:13:41.200
want to do this again i really hope it's dead

00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:50.959
so how do we kill it with a finger oh yeah we could have it running yeah okay

00:13:48.959 --> 00:13:54.000
if the computer may crash it might not die though you might have to restart the

00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:58.240
computer and it comes back up all right here we go you wanna ground yourself

00:13:56.160 --> 00:14:01.519
first and i zap you with 25k and see how it feels

00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:05.920
not really it's a good opportunity for a good opportunity for

00:14:04.079 --> 00:14:11.199
a good opportunity okay well i actually okay can i have 15

00:14:09.040 --> 00:14:15.360
let's do 20 first ready where should i zap i don't know man ready

00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:20.399
okay you go straight for the super

00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:24.480
this is where you're supposed to check the baby's milk okay make sure it's not

00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:29.440
too hot he goes straight for the most sensitive spot on the heart that's the

00:14:26.079 --> 00:14:32.079
sensor for that purpose i'm on to you

00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:34.959
it wasn't super painful more shocking right

00:14:34.959 --> 00:14:39.040
so okay give me 25 give me 25.

00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:45.120
oh that one i could actually feel muscle contraction a little bit like that's

00:14:42.800 --> 00:14:50.639
good that's more oh yeah like one more no not just yet okay so here's what

00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:50.639
we're gonna do i'm gonna

00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:56.320
ground it try to bring your hand as close as

00:14:54.639 --> 00:15:00.880
possible to the data lines at the bottom maybe oh okay

00:14:58.560 --> 00:15:04.320
okay well hold on hold on wait

00:15:01.839 --> 00:15:07.040
i can't contain myself okay just a second

00:15:05.199 --> 00:15:10.880
just a second just a second

00:15:08.959 --> 00:15:17.199
i'm gonna charge your body and see what happens okay

00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:21.199
that was that was powerful nice okay how do you feel now i don't know if i got

00:15:18.880 --> 00:15:25.600
the RAM though you gotta be freaking kidding me

00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:28.560
see that's why they put all these grounds

00:15:26.800 --> 00:15:31.920
exposed right in the way of your touching so that it always jumps to

00:15:30.079 --> 00:15:36.399
ground first before anything else good design

00:15:33.199 --> 00:15:38.800
but it felt like it actually hurt more

00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:42.160
when it dumped multiple times why would that be

00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:45.760
well maybe because you were jumping directly to ground but i was jumping

00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:49.759
directly to ground when i was holding the ground let's see this was on one

00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:55.040
hair so maybe it was keeping it was charging you every time so you forgot to

00:15:52.800 --> 00:16:00.000
change it was i supposed to change it well i was only supposed to zap it once

00:15:57.120 --> 00:16:03.440
okay that explains why it hurts so much yeah but if i don't put it on one hair

00:16:02.160 --> 00:16:07.680
it just jumps to you once it doesn't charge you anymore you lose charge right away

00:16:05.680 --> 00:16:12.240
we could still directly discharge no wait wait

00:16:08.880 --> 00:16:14.079
okay i want to kill it with a finger

00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:20.560
after this you might have to go to a consultation electro boom

00:16:16.800 --> 00:16:23.560
therapy exactly right do it okay 20

00:16:20.560 --> 00:16:23.560
kilovolts

00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:31.560
okay no no hit me again

00:16:28.079 --> 00:16:31.560
oh my god

00:16:37.040 --> 00:16:39.360
ow

00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:45.920
it's alive no it's dead yeah

00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:50.720
[ __ ] you well reset your computer maybe the RAM

00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:54.720
is fine it's just crashed oh that is possible

00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:59.279
messing with data lines will crash your computer but doesn't necessarily mean

00:16:56.880 --> 00:17:01.680
that your RAM is dead so you we see is it back

00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:05.560
it's alive

00:17:07.120 --> 00:17:13.360
i can't do that again was that 20 or 25 20. oh

00:17:11.120 --> 00:17:16.799
my finger's like a little bit

00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:20.640
lost sensation yeah after a while it gets a little numb fine

00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:25.360
i do want to use the gun now oh okay there i have the score to settle

00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:29.760
it's ready now how do you know for sure no stop touching i didn't even get you

00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:32.400
well i was quick yeah okay it's working so that's one

00:17:31.520 --> 00:17:36.799
hertz okay well that's why i couldn't get you because it was way just at 12. i was

00:17:35.679 --> 00:17:40.640
thinking i was going to get you right away like i got yeah you have to get much closer like i got like this

00:17:39.360 --> 00:17:44.559
distance away and i thought it was good oh my god damn it

00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:51.600
all right i deserved that problem you did 100 okay

00:17:47.919 --> 00:17:53.440
oh okay well that was more immediate

00:17:51.600 --> 00:17:57.520
yeah computer crashed right away but again might just be a crash you got to

00:17:55.760 --> 00:18:04.320
be kidding me restarted that's a graceful ish crash

00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:06.000
well it's still alive somehow i think if

00:18:04.320 --> 00:18:11.679
you go from the side here you can walk that side okay all right does that look good yeah

00:18:10.080 --> 00:18:17.200
what nothing move it around

00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:21.280
for the love of god die no signal please check your input who's

00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:24.880
that the motherboard or the RAM when the RAM is in you zap the data lines it's

00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:27.919
also going directly to the rest of the motherboard right

00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:31.440
but the fact that the motherboard is giving us a beep code is a good sign

00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:34.640
that means the motherboard has at least initialized and knows hey there's some

00:18:33.600 --> 00:18:40.240
problem that doesn't mean though that the entire

00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:43.039
motherboard is working yeah all right

00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:48.960
this should be good okay it's alive yeah i think so kill the RAM okay good

00:18:45.520 --> 00:18:50.720
i am impressed by the resiliency of

00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:54.000
everything we tried today

00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:58.480
my finger is still a little numb i'm impressed by your resiliency i do my

00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:02.640
best anything for science i guess anything for the viewers

00:19:00.679 --> 00:19:05.600
ltcstore.com come on help me out here guys make it worth it yeah did you see

00:19:04.080 --> 00:19:10.000
the pain you have to buy his merch now buy a hoodie at this point i'm ready to

00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:14.440
kind of draw a conclusion here electrostatic discharge can it kill your

00:19:12.080 --> 00:19:17.840
sensitive electronic components abso-frequently

00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:22.160
i mean they wouldn't put warning labels on the things if there wasn't a chance

00:19:19.840 --> 00:19:27.039
that it was going to be destroyed but on the other hand in the real world

00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:31.280
is it necessarily a guarantee that if you forget your esd strap one time that

00:19:29.520 --> 00:19:36.080
you're gonna kill something by touching it probably not yeah not that often but

00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:39.600
you're rolling that die every time you don't ground yourself

00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:46.240
correctly while you're working on your components and if it does it's going to be an expensive failure right exactly so

00:19:43.760 --> 00:19:50.240
it comes down to what are you working on are you working on some old refurb thing

00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:54.400
where replacing the RAM is going to be literally two dollars then you know what

00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:59.760
i probably wouldn't inconvenience myself if i'm working on the latest rtx 3090

00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:03.760
that cost 1500 and i can't even replace if i did kill it

00:20:01.679 --> 00:20:10.080
i'm gonna be real super careful from now on that's my promise

00:20:07.280 --> 00:20:12.559
just like i promised to my sponsors to uh

00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:16.400
expressvpn what what's going on here this is my

00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:20.400
sponsor this is my show i have a sponsor too you know this is my sponsor fine

00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:26.080
i'll do mine at home see sonic power supplies high quality long warranties

00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:28.080
great efficiency and uh you know hey if

00:20:26.080 --> 00:20:31.760
you opened up the chassis and touched the internal components i'm sure it

00:20:29.840 --> 00:20:35.440
would zap you real good but that's not really a that's not really a feature

00:20:33.919 --> 00:20:38.960
don't do that that would legitimately probably kill you so

00:20:37.280 --> 00:20:42.400
go check out csun and get the link in the video description

00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:46.720
i might have wimped out but electro room told me that he's actually planning a

00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:52.320
follow-up video on his channel where he is going to continue to try to kill the

00:20:49.600 --> 00:20:55.520
stick with a finger so make sure you're subscribed we're going to have a link in

00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:58.000
the video description so you don't miss that
