True!

I actually fell asleep twice when trying to watch it, but it has nothing to do with the content. The cause was my lack of sleep combined with the relaxing voice of Danyk.

@@atdzsny lol I did the same a couple times when that afternoon sleepyness hits after I had 3-4 hours of sleep

YEP !

Yes, these videos can't possibly be too long. Even if I needed to watch it in parts every day for the whole week to finish it. I subscribe only to few quality channels, and there are plenty of times without any new content at all...

I had one that belonged to primary pollution, it was really quite horrid.

Propably when Lidl has any interesting stuff

Yeah, more Lidl/Aldi stuff would be great!

Car battery chargers, car battery analyzers would be nice.

The stuff I've seen in Lidl recently tends to be the same as it's been for the past five years or so. I almost bought a USB PD power supply there a couple of weeks ago, I guess a teardown of one of them could be interesting. Generally Lidl/Aldi stuff is well made, they have to conform to EU safety standards and everything has a 3 year warranty.

lack of physical bottons also is a big no

@@ingulari3977 It looks nice, I would love to see an internal review on that too.

You think 27 euros is not cheap ?

But this meter isn't much better.

@@simontay4851 i think it will be a strong improvement over my "travelmeter" that can't measure voltage anymore.

Anyone working with HV will have a Fluke meter, surely. As a hobbyist working with low voltages my UNI-T meters have served me well.

When I was a child I asked an electronic engineer friend of my dad why he had such an expensive multimeter, when my £5 one did everything his did (at least as far as I was concerned). His answer was "If you turn up on site with one of those, everyone will laugh at you". I get it now. if it's a tool of your trade you want to be sure it'll be accurate every time, and won't kill you.

Absolutely. In no way can this product meet the CATIII 1000V standard, it seems CATI 600V max. to me.

In general terms these cheap DMMs are just that: cheap. For their intended purpose they are commonly not useful and often dangerous, because safety standards are often "nice to have" for them.

It's literally free using internet checkers, AI.

Well, the instructions are still good compared to the product I'm going to show tomorrow :D

@@DiodeGoneWild I finally have the income again to join your Patreon. I got to see that video, and WOW! It's truly incredible! hahaha!

The Chinglish is fun though, these review videos would be about half as long and half as amusing without it.

@@igotes THAT.... is a very, very good point! 😄

Very delightful!

Well, the separation between the USB port and the black probe is ... non existent.

Yes, the black probe has no separation from the USB port... I didn't think about this until somebody mentioned this problem in the comments.

It appears that they "share some common ground" haha. That thing's potentially quite a hazard. Imagine if someone left a charging cable plugged into it.

Yes, no separation between the USB port and the black probe...

@@DiodeGoneWild OUCH!

​ @@DiodeGoneWild They should have used a special adaptor that re-uses the probe sockets for charging. I mean some connectors deep inside the bottom of the probe sockets, isolated from the probe connections, and an USB-C adaptor that plugs into the probe sockets, reaching the secondary connectors in their bottom. This would be the only feasible safe way to charge it, because it would prevent charging while the probes are connected. The other option would be a DC/DC converter, but a DC/DC converter that is OK for 1000V cat III isolation would make it a lot more expensive.

pretty sure you don't charge it when using the thing

Of course, under direct sun, only the traditional (non-inverted) LCD makes sense.

Its probably good for quick measurements and low voltage DC stuff, but when doing electrical work or fixing something like an SMPS I usually reach for one of my Fluke or other name-brand meters. If they were honest and dispensed with the "CATIII 1000V" rating then it would be an ok meter for the average DIYer since it wouldn't be making claims to things it can't do.

Chinese manufacturers were using components imported mostly from Japan back in the 90s , we didn't have strong electronic industry at that time.

@@TheBalconyWorkspace That makes sense about the components made in Japan. I opened up a single outlet surge protector made in China from 1996 for Radio Shack, and it has good quality MOVs and safety capacitors. The quality and design of the circuit board are well done. It seems like cutting costs within the last 10 or 15 years is the priority for many manufacturers. There are still some products from China that are well-made if you are willing to pay more money for them.

Maybe it's impolite, but his voice do add some fun to me. No offence, Diode.

They probably meant it can be used in environments of "pollution degree 2" . Chinglish at its best.

thank you for your support ;)

I think the usb is just for charging. And also, the USB is not isolated from the probes. Using it and connecting it to the PC at the same time wouldn't be safe.

@@DiodeGoneWild Thanks for answering... Got it...

Of course, this is not useful as your only multimeter. But if you have more multimeters like me, it's still handy.

Possibly a PLL inside the MCU.

frequency multiplier

@@omniyambot9876 uh or maybe divider

@@fabriziobrutti1205 yeah was also going to say. Multiplier for source oscillator or divider for input oscillation...

@@omniyambot9876 agree... We just have to wait for Diode to answer :)

Well, my one already stopped working too :D I mostly used it for just resistors and diodes, sometimes voltages, but no more than 24V.

More are coming ;) I also have some signal generator and soldering iron from them.

@@DiodeGoneWild excited. They seem of decent quality on a budget

Bro who are you verified is that youtube premium 😊😮

@@Among_us9999 kzfaq.info

I've noticed, but it's somewhere inside the camera :(

Not quite, I have had 39.5-40°C fever many years ago from flu. It was pretty bad, but far from coma. COVID only caused 38.5°C to me.

@@mrnmrn1 I was kidding ya nobber

It's like comparing oranges and apples

I have a couple of handheld Fluke, a Brymen, an Extech and a cheap Aneng AN8008. Somehow I mostly use the cheap Aneng. It's small and unexpectedly accurate for such a cheap device. To be on the safe side I only use it for low energy electronics work. But this caution is mainly due to the fact that I am using the small cheap probes that came with the meter.

Misused, to be precise.

Calibration and accuracy? 🤣

ok but this is cheap unit, you cant expect much from it

@Liyang HU yeah, non existent with this kind of garbage
