  I was just about to say that

  I worked on something that literally said “to test this thing, hit it here with a screwdriver” because it was known to be a point where a soldered joint would fail

  I used to bash the shit out of some stuff with a hammer to prove my diagnoses. It wasn’t working anyway, so I couldn’t break it more, and I was usually proved correct when I was able to replicate the failure

    The whole “well, it’s already broken: what’s the worst I can do?” is such a liberating position to be in.

      I have learnt how to fix a whole lot of things after realising that

      Or, I learnt other things that can go wrong, without consequences

      However, there’s: “it’s not working right” and there’s “it’s not working”… It’s usually important to recognise that difference

        “it’s not working right” is conversely a terrible position to be in, you can’t leave it as it is but you also risk fucking it up further by trying to fix it

    Was doing this with my car fob for a while before I finally broke down and re-soldered the battery contact terminal to the board yesterday.

    Also doing it to my cars blower fan for the AC. I have the replacement fan motor, but it hasn’t been annoying enough yet to mess with replacing.

  And now interplanetary percussive maintenance is a thing too.

      Next step: roll this out over the internet.

      Actually, scratch that, that would make some teenage-run Discord servers become online Fight Clubs.

        Roll it out with sabers instead far more civilized, we aren’t trench fighters. Alternatively if you want a more lethal option rig it up with a 32. Caliber revolver like that batshit insane mouse trap.

  U gotta account for the different air density and effects on sound due to that
