I'm thinking of renaming my channel to "blackberry the kitten", and using a photo of blackberry from when she was six weeks old for the profile picture. 

Some of you have pointed out that in my videos over the past four months I do in my downstairs office in my house,  there is a high pitched whine. This entire time, I thought that was me getting tinnitus from getting old.

It's not. It's actually there. and I can't figure out what it is. It's driving me nuts. I was walking into the bathroom and each time I did, the "tinnitus" went away. FML.

This should be easy, given the acoustic absorption on the wall - that foam is cheap shit, but the cheap shit is bad at absorbing *low* frequencies, not *high* frequencies like 6k-14k. And higher frequencies are more directional. This should be easy to figure out.

I have no idea where it's coming from though. :(

The remote repair was interesting. A lot of people are emailing about sending in random crap for entertainment. I was thinking of opening this up to all sorts of ridiculous stuff. I think there would have to be some framework for it to be interesting.

1) What is sent in, no guarantee you don't get it back 50x worse. I have no idea how to fix remotes/sex toys. If you get it back, it's a bonus. This is entertainment, not a repair service.  

2) Has to be something where I can reasonably test it & give people an idea of whether it works on stream. Some part of a complex embedded system or a 1992 airbag computer to a mazda, i can't test that here.

3) Can't be something where work is insanely complicated & there is an expectation of it all working. Like something requiring expensive BGA chips & precise rework. 

4) Has to be fun. Something where there is a reasonable expectation it can be fixed without 90 hours of research and/or expensive parts.

For instance, the C9560 issue on the 820-2850... that seems easy once you know what it is, but that took duke 3+ years to figure it out. _"This device you've never seen before randomly turns off and has no physical liquid damage"_ = rabbit hole to hell, & not an interesting repair


I want to come up with a framework for this to be entertaining, fun, and fair for all. Give me some ideas! 

I spent an hour trying to fix a vibrating bed remote before my flight left. Do you think it worked? Uploading video at the speed of spectrum internet now(so you should have an answer by independence day) 

he did steve dirty. there's no way steve recovers from this. I believe in his ability to beat his competition, Apple, and New York City inspectors and regulators. But there's no way he recovers from this. 

I tried :( remote repair video attempt  https://youtube.com/live/i7TDnpXOY4k 

I have a remote control I'm going to try to fix next week. It'll be fun, trust me. We'll do it live 

Remotes cost almost nothing. 2 hours on hold with customer service to get a replacement though..... Fk.... That. .... 

It's daytime bro, wake up
