content: I'm guessing the cardboard piece wasn't properly placed in a previous one, ended up stuck to the machine and eventually caught fire,Quality control at its finest.

content: Preexplodedburntsurge protector.I have never seen anything like this, must be be a very rare event. If visibly damaged products like this get to consumers, you can only guess what else goes though quality inspection unnoticed.

content: If by pretty basic, you mean desinging lighting control boards from scratch, repairing moving heads, and thoroughly explaining every device he tears apart, sure.I suppose by that logic dave is mediocre then?

content: Quote from: wraper on June 04, 2016, 02:49:30 pmThere are a few of them, but they are obviously humorous, granted it's dry humor, so those with "different" brains might not be able to pick up on that and think it's genuine. The same type of person probably thinks electroboom is serious.

content: I insist on what I've said. I know him only through this video and I really don't care, was the first and last I've seen from him. If someone presents himself on the web like this, he must assume someone might call him a retard. Sorry for you fanboys of stupid fun which is not funny.PS: Electroboom actually is funny. And yes, my brain is not tuned to that kind of "fun" above.

content: That joke video notwithstanding BigClive's soldering technique without using any third hands or clamps is pretty amazing to watch. I keep finding myself trying to hold something and feed solder with one hand like he does. The results are usually disastrous.I swear it's like the guy has two thumbs on his left hand.

content: Quote from: wraper on June 04, 2016, 02:49:30 pmSo basic that he is the one that give the name to the joule thief.He may have some dry english humour, that maybe some of the US people are not able to cope with, but he is clearly not incompetent. I'm sure he knows more than most people here. It's not because it love to tear down chinese "crappy" things that he know nothing, on the contrary, he tends to explain usefull things (and I think he have soldered more thing than Dave in their own channel :p)

content: Quote from: Godzil on June 04, 2016, 05:20:50 pmSo how the ability to give some catchy name to the very basic circuit designed by other people tells something about person's electronics skill?QuoteNobody says he is incompetent. I don't find him telling ridiculous BS about something he doesn't know. On the other side, what he explains is pretty basic either.

content: Quote from: Yansi on June 04, 2016, 04:55:20 pmChinese write 240V on their 100W LEDs. They write everything, just buy it. Their soldering is horrible, it looks exactly like the one he did. Yes, chinese stuff out of theboxyellow bubble wrap envelope looks like it was soldered by butchers doing that.It is funny and entertaining. And it is on youtube, so its not like you went to the theater (not cinema), and someone is making fart jokes. Because some of his videos are the electronics fart joke level. And there is nothing wrong with that #serious.
