Sonos Ace Teardown
The audiophiles at Sonos are constantly looking for new ways to tickle our eardrums with the sweet sound of music, and this year Sonos enters a new product category with the $450 Sonos Ace over-the-ear headphones.
At that price point, it does make me wonder how repairable these headphones are. Let’s take a closer look at the hardware and find out.

So that got us wondering, is there a cheaper way for people to experience the magic of Spatial computing, and if so what is it? We’ve seen the best. Now it’s time to see the rest. Presenting the V...
iPad Air 13 inch Teardown - T-AIR-able or Rep-AIR-able?

Apple’s newest iPad Air is actually two Airs, both with an M2 chip, twice the base storage of the last model, and now available with an extra two inches on the Plus-sized screen.

    EU should force Apple to use this. Then they will also probably use it in the US as it is difficult to produce two different versions of the same laptop.

    The joysticks on this controller are perfection, unfortunately the buttons are complete trash. the friction of consecutive button presses causes it to stick in the housing.

    A quick question, why do you guys always bash on Apple products when there are literally thousands of crappy products from China sold at Walmart, Target, etc. I’m not even a fan boy of Apple. Is this a political thing where America bad China good?

    I work at a company that manufacturers electronics. The production floor has all the proper ESD protection gear from smocks, to ankle straps to specially grounded tables, bins and concrete floors because it directly impacts their yields and profits. I however, work in the R&D wing where I mostly deal with software on only a handful of DUTs and I won't even bother with anything more than the absolute minimum of ESD protection because the likelihood of breaking something with an ESD is miniscule and I personally wouldn't even hesitate about cleaning a single fan with a normal toothbrush. Proper ESD safety is mostly just a concern for people who handle lots of unshielded electronics everyday and the cost of equipment/infrastructure is offset by the slight increase to yields.

  • @TimBell87
    @TimBell87 Před dnem

    In my experience you can absolutely use a toothbrush on most things. But this video is correct, it will build up a small amount of charge so consider risk analysis: The likelihood that you'll damage what you're working on is low so you need to ask yourself "can I afford to replace any chips that I might fry?"

    This ain't the problem if the product doesn't fail within specific period of time customer wouldn't buy new one that's how companies make money . These are made to fail so the cycle of buying and replacement continues.
