  Percussive maintenance is a real thing!

    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.

      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.

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

  If it’s stupid and it works, it’s still stupid but at least it worked.

  If a Mars lander hits itself with a shovel and no one is around to hear it … does it make a sound?

    It does (ok, one catch: if there’s an atmosphere), sound has physical nature. The trick is in asking whether music/art/languages exist after any sentient life is gone

      Can’t sound transfer through the casing even if it’s not vibrating air in the process?

      No, sound is a sensation. Sonic disturbances aren’t sound unless someone hears them. That’s why sonic frequencies outside the hearing range aren’t sound.

      You should read Berkeley’s Three Dialogues to properly understand the meme.

  Is NOBODY else curious where the shovel came from??

    It’s a mars robot designed to take samples…

  Not a bad option. A service call from the NASAA would take easily over a week.
