content: I missed out on seeing this video. I understand why Save took it down, but i think Dave has the abiliy to protect the identity of the person with some video magic and repost it.Regards

content: It was a childish video, with zero added value for the channel.Imagine this was the first thing you ever saw from EEVblog; would you bother to watch any further?

content: I say go for it, provided the people in the video are fine with it being reposted of course.Nobody (that I saw) threw a fit when you tried to kill the 28II, or all of those other "cheapie" meters. This thing was already dead, so what's the big deal? It's just a thing anyway.EDIT: Ah, I see this wasn't started by Dave. I thought it was an edit and expansion of the original thread asking for feedback. Apologies.

content: Quote from: FlyingBrickyard on July 13, 2012, 01:28:01 amI agree with you, but I gather the EEVBLOG consensus is that if the scope is faulty, to do anything worse then attach a red fault tag is inexcusable vandalism.https://www.eevblog.com/forum/general-chat/if-you-do-this-fuck-you!/I have to admit I am confused.Richard.

content: The way i see it, if its cheap jump then just blow it up. If it happens to be a dead Tektronix scope then it is only rite that it goes out in style..........Regards

content: Quote from: pickle9000 on July 13, 2012, 03:22:35 amThat's what I thought too, but I was told in no uncertain terms that I was totally and absolutely wrong - there is absolutely no excuse for damaging the front panel of a dead instrument even if you own it.

content: Quote from: amspire on July 13, 2012, 05:14:49 amIf you are referring to the marker pen thread, then that is not what was suggested at all.The fact that carnage videos the medium and are some of you tube's highest raters says lots about the medium and its core demographic.Any tool can blow shit up, some can even do it with all limbs intact after the event.Do what you want in your own space with your own shit.

content: Quote from: EEVblog on July 13, 2012, 01:21:13 amCheap multimeters only cost 5$, for creative new idea's each episode! *hint hint*For that to work, the creativity aura's should always take place at the end of the episode, otherwise the real content would be neglected by most viewers

content: I think that the great unwashed fail to realise that these low cost Oscilloscopes are just a bit of consumer equipment. Even the servicing of the high end stuff is more of a board swapping operation these days.Can those who complain about the humorous destruction actually fix the broken scope for a sensible cost?

content: Quote from: EEVblog link=topic=9514.msg128655#msg128655 date=Look at mythbusters. The first two or three seasons nothing really spectacular. And then stey started blowing stuff up.. Now they're everywhere...Today on eevblog : dave blows up a 4700uf 100volt cap. Next episode: dave blows up a 5 watt power resistor.... You'd need a mop and bucket to get rid of the drool....

content: Quote from: free_electron on July 13, 2012, 02:29:30 pm'Tis true.The most frequent question I was asked in my Chem classes last year was, "Are we gonna blow something up to today?". I even had a student once ask out of the blue, "CanIblow something up?"I said, "Sure!", then handed her a balloon.Though later that day we did introduce gummi bears to molten KClO3, so everyone was happy.
