That mic amp output diagram looks like a marketing department employee with no electronics knowledge said "That line doesn't look sexy enough. Let's give it some wiggle."

I imagine the sex to noise ratio changes drastically depending on where you attach the test clips 😮

Hoping your LED Chaser toy is Charlieplex'd as well! 6 gpio pins may let it control 30 LEDs (n^2-n). Some factory fresh, legitimate, SSD/NVMe devices arrive with relocated sectors.

i am looking forward to the mic preamp video. cheers

Please do a teardown on the SSD. I want to see if I'm right that there's an SD card in there

I was also wondering that to be honest 😀

@wardprocter2371 6 ай бұрын

Would still be good value for 128 Gb.

Thank you.

I always look at the "Sex to Noise" ratio specs before buying audio related equipment ‼

I'm thinking that COB LED would make a great message notification on my Meshtastic device. 👍

Thanks for the Mailbag ! The SSD is not even cheap.. I can get a name brand (patriot) 128G drive for 14 bucks over here. I have seen those "cheap" SSDs from ali express with just an sd-card in them.. but I think in your case it is a real drive.. a tear down (pop the lid) would be quite interesting though.

I BET that when you will need to replace usb c socket somewhere, nothing from this kit will fit.

@8:50 open it up, I bet you find a microsd card or something in it.

@pileofstuff 6 ай бұрын

That's a definite possibility. Hoping to find out in a few weeks.

Anticipating a report on testing the Sex/Noise ratio. I know you already have the appropriate background music for that.

@TheUnofficialMaker 6 ай бұрын

Your videos really show the inflation numbers!, I guess the days of stuff getting cheaper are long gone.

@pileofstuff 6 ай бұрын

It really is hard finding interesting things for those super cheap prices any more. And it's also getting very hard to find free shipping as well. Though there are still some bargains to be had for things I already have multiples of...

It’ll turn around eventually.

You can test the actual capacity of the SSD using F3 ( Fight Flash Fraud). Often this kind of devices report a different size than they actually are.

I have good luck with H2TESTW sniffing out fake USB based storage.

@markfergerson2145 6 ай бұрын

I see two teardown candidates. The specs for the mic amp are hilarious but I suspect it has the simplest possible two transistor amplifier that isn’t nearly as efficient as it should be. The SSD likely does have a ssd card in it, but we’ll see.

@richards7909 6 ай бұрын

As others have said, can we get a look inside the SSD please? Also when testing, try writing more than 128gb, eg 150gb. If it doesn’t fail, it’s lying about its capacity.

@pileofstuff 6 ай бұрын

That was just a quick go/no-go test for the mailbag. A proper test will take many hours, and will happen in the future.
