LOL i saw your comment before i heard this so it was OK for me, but i understand that this can scare...

It scared me too 😬 There's no life without the word: "Dodgyyyy" 😄

@@matyasnyilas right! And his knowledge is just incredible!

My heart stopped beating for a moment too - and I have no complaints at all about the sound, the sound has been good for many years!

@@Zebra_Paw yes i saw others comments to but seriously that feels bad when someone who makes great videos and now stop making it.

I was sure that somebody will write this comment :D.

I wonder if a dented capacitor can short circuit and blow up, especially at 300V

@@BogdanSerban sure it can. Xackus referred to the first video on the 12V 20A 600W cheap power supply from Ebay that DiodeGoneWild made recently.

@@DiodeGoneWild 🤣🤣🤣😂

😂😂😂😂👍

That was very cruel, Dany!

same here!

I was already crying... This was the most cruel suspense pause i ever seen😭 However nice video as always! 💪

Yep, fine for me too! I think that these days people just have to complain about things. We are creating a world of carpers/winge-ers/complainers.....and wimps! Pretty sad.

@@englishrupe01 Yes, the content is to me what is relevant. Of course, no one wants a video in 240p, these times are long gone. But the qualty of his videos were enough to see everything important and since he is just narrating, the sound quality is not really important, just use an headphone. Yes, a 8K Video could be better if you watch your videos in a cinema, but most of us still have normal FullHD Monitors or are just using some mobile devices with 8-10cm Screen - why should you need more than 1080p on such devices.

I havn't even taught about that, since 99% av KZfaq videos (as well as TV-channels for example) have crap sound compared to what I'm used to... He still have great content. That's the most important.

I am looking forward to better sound! When I watch diode on the tv or on my phone it's okay, but I tried watching with some decent headphones plugged in and there's lots of popping and crackle on the audio that makes it very hard to listen to. I was actually worried it would damage my headphones!

Audio quality only became noticeable when he mentioned it... I was way to distracted by the good quality content and his amazing cadence. "Hey DGW...? Want a beer?" DGW: "Actuallyyyyy.... TheCorrectQuestioniiiiiiis... DoIwantAlager....orApilsneeeeer?" Cheers DGW! 😁

is this guy trying to ride on julian ilet's success? everyone boost this kid's channel, he is less annoying than ilett

I don't know about bad but sound is not what I would call high-def either. It is a bit muffled. We'll have to hear what the new content is like.

What are you talking about? Of course it's not a hacksaw, just the blade, with a piece of old t-shirt wrapped around one end. I absolutely love his ghetto style! Every time he whips out the Czechoslovakian soldering iron, I get flashbacks to my childhood.

*hacksaw blade. Not an entire hacksaw! :D

I still plan to use the old camera, at least for a macro or for travelling.

@@DiodeGoneWild Use it for magnetron and X-ray experiments?Although im not sure if X-rays can damage a camera.

@@mernok2001 I think that X-rays are not very good for the electronics of the machine ... maybe the sensor holds up but the control logic (everything else) I don't think it's possible :-)

@@mernok2001 But he did say, that he would never repeat his X-ray experiments...

@@zolatanaffa87 Didn't thunderf00t stick a camera into a high energy neutron surce? Neutrons are basically natures miniature grenades... with just the same fuse time uncertainty.

I never use the filament ones for that reason. No heat sink what so ever.

@@groundzero_-lm4md I heard they fill the filament bulbs with some special gas to provide somewhat better heat dissipation than what you'd get from air. Not sure if this is true though.

I still use two no-name LEDs bought in 2014. They work 6-8 hours a day and run without any problems. They utilize the small SMD LEDs, like 3825 or something. And the current is like 16-18 mA! No wonder they lasted so long, like 7 years already. Nowadays they pump twice that current in the LEDs, so it's not a suprise the lamps fail after a few months of intensive usage. Even the quality makers like Philips and Osram do that, not even mentioning current no-name brands. Times have changes, for worse I suppose, unfortunately :(

@@groundzero_-lm4md BigClivedotcom recently had a look at some special filament bulbs that used 4x the number of filaments compared to the normally obtainable ones - running each at amuch lower current for a much longer life

If interested, search for 'Dubai lamps'

The fault in mine was an inrush resistor, an SMD one and way too tiny forthe power. So small that it was blinking at a low power because of arcing across the pins of the resistor!

Not yet, but it could be the next video ;)

It didn't happen during the disassembly. The diode was probably already disconnected during the test before the disassembly. The lamp drew some current, but didn't light up, so the fusible resistor probably made contact that time.

@@DiodeGoneWild you are right! A good example of engineering logic. Thanks again!

И ты тут) Я тебя часто вижу на канале Изи

@@user-vm1hi7bo5s я ещё много где!

Yeah people holding things in their hands and attacking said items with knives and saws and what have you makes me nervous. Least some Vise Grips. Big pair of pliers. Use something. Flesh is just so soft. Even plastic is beefier than we are.

I have the Knipex Cobra of knowledge

Lol

You are right.

What we do now is the most economically viable method. Sure there's downsides. But in the end low price always wins. Now will the cost always remain low? That's a question we really do not have to answer, yet. When future generations are up to their eyeballs in e-waste they'll probably curse us for the choices we made. It is more likely something else is going to happen that will collapse civilization between now and then though. Problem solved!

@@1pcfred I don't agree. Pouring that potting crap into those Lidl bulbs costs money. It is there to deliberately stop repair. Not putting it there would save the manufacturer time and money. Manufacturers are going out of their way to prevent repair simply to sell more product in future.

@@mikeb1013 that's why you think it is there. There may be another purpose for it though. Even if to just secure the board in place. The manufacturer already knows most consumers cannot be bothered trying to repair a disposable item like a light bulb. They couldn't anyways.

check his website

It should just increase until a) the control chip notices it is too high and shuts off or b) the chip breaks. That's how it works for a flyback at no load.

Agree. 😋

And i already stocked smd leds, caps n the chinese CC driver chip to fix them (n my neighbours lamps too).

I miss CFL bulbs

@@mernok2001 I don't. I don't miss those dim as all hell things at all. LED, Fluorescent and Incandescent are much better.

@@CoolDudeClem CFL is fluorescent bruh.Dont be surpries I miss them,I even miss vacuum tube TVs and radios despite im just 19,so i dodnt grow up with them.

He talked about it at 17:39.

This is not bigclive LOL. I think DiodeGoneWild has better knowledge than bigclive anyway...

@@Zebra_Paw I think they both are experts in what they're going.

@@Zebra_Paw MORE SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE, you need to know the component level breakdown sometimes and a block level diagram others and sometimes you just need to see the insulation and number of windings on a transformer!

@@frogz yes and that's also why it is interesting to watch!
