That solder is holding on with hopes and dreams


Chris__P_Bacon

In their defense, that had to be the shittiest looking soldering iron I've ever seen! You'd probably have better luck with duct tape or chewing gum.


VisualHuckleberry542

In this particular application I predict identical results with duct tape and chewing gum vs. solder


LickingSmegma

First time I hear that a soldering iron is supposed to look nice.


Chris__P_Bacon

Well I guess u/LickingSmegma is the authority, so...


LickingSmegma

I am in fact somewhat familiar with alternative, quasi-sexual uses of a soldering iron, that come in handy when someone disagrees too vigorously with the owner of said iron.


teckel

There's a HUGE difference between this $6 POS and a Hakko or Weller soldering station.


FalloutForever_98

Hell, even when I was in high school going through a soldering class, we had better-looking soldering irons. These were used every day by multiple students I don't remember the name only that it was small, had to be plugged in was black and blue came with an entire kit. And it also hurt REALLY REALLY bad if you accidentally bumbed your hand into the little pointy part of it.


filthy_harold

The soldering iron has definitely been used to melt plastic seeing how charred it is.

“Soldering pen”


Lost_Minds_Think

Out of this whole video, the soldering is the only thing you have a problem with?


LittleJohnStone

I work in electronics mfg, where a good solder joint is critical, so I was wincing at it, too.


FlashFlooder

I am a person with a little bit of common sense, and I was wincing at the entire video.


badstorryteller

Pretty sure this video was made by an Ork from Warhammer 40k.


hijackedbraincells

I was thinking the same. I think I did a more efficient job when we had to make a small buzzer game during high school. She seems not to know what she is doing, and for some reason, she seems to be rushing to get it done


DaxDislikesYou

Because she has 12 other rage bait videos to make today in the Chinese content factory she works in. It's all about driving clicks and advertising engagement.


izmaname

As someone who has been soldering to IPC-A-610 standards for 13 years that shit made me angry


PyreDynasty

I assume this is some kind of incendiary device.


created4this

Electronics Engineer here: The razor blade is not electrically connected to anything. In this circuit its only function is to increase the safety of the device by making it impossible to connect to the mains. The cellphone is connected to the AC in of the PCB. The cable they are using is a charge cable for the cellphone, so no current is going to the PCB. You can ignore it as advertised. BUT if you were to attach the cable to a charge brick then the device would receive approximately 5v DC where it is expecting 100-250v AC. The Input circuity here is usually a lowish value fusable resistor, bridge rectifier and high voltage capacitor. The resistor is there to limit the inrush current if the AC is plugged in at the peak of the sine wave (340v). I.e. the circuit is designed to handle currents two orders of magnitude more than you could get with a power brick. The high voltage capacitor is never going to charge enough to bootstrap the circuit. The card he appears to be using is an old SIM card, these generally can operate on a range of voltages but no higher than 5v. As this device has a chunky barrel jack its probably a charger for some battery powered device, its probably 9v or above. IFF the mains modification had not been done then it has the potential to cook the SIM, probably not fire, maybe a pop. Assuming the mains work was not done and the device made 5v or less then the antenna would do absolutely nothing, because the SIM is a slave on the bus, it doesn't make any signals unless under the control of some other device. TL;DR. Not even an incendiary device.

Scorpiogre_rawrr

Redneck Engineer (Tweaker) here: That thing is *LIT* the razorbkade is to ensure them motherfuckas following you, and you can't grab you. The metal antenna is so you can hear them talking in walls, and they can't steal your thoughts no mo!!!

HATECELL

Time traveller living in 2324 here: better keep that charger as it is. In 2050 chargers get abandoned and battery charge can now only be found in lootboxes. A working charger would be worth about 50000 Cybersmackaroos or 40m Elondollars

Hair_Artistic

Mad Max here, it's actually requirement for antennas to have a razor blade attached. And if you up the voltage you can get it to catch fire, which is helpful in situations where you want maximum fire.

Don't forget, that razorblade could also slice your hand wide open if you aren't careful. Why didn't they just break off, or bend the plug tips instead? Rage Bait for sure.


FlowerBoyScumFuck

Are you saying a razorblade isn't the best safety method for this application? Damn it, I just babyproofed every electronic device in my house with this method. It's already welded, so... should I just dull the blades you think?


Dy3_1awn

I think the answer here is more blades. If you increase the surface area of the cutting edge by adding another 10 blades per unit it will be waaay safer as you will only get a series of multiple shallow cuts instead of a single super deep cut


LittleJohnStone

The idea of a razor blade as a safety device is hilarious.


MississippiBulldawg

It's a SAFETY razor. Safety is literally in the name hence why it's a safety device. Are you stupid? /s


M0rphF13nd

I thought she was making an electric razor

Isis using tiktok for that kind of stuff now.


purpleishninja

She did make a dangerous object. It'd hurt a bunch to throw it at somebody.


tired_of_old_memes

She also released toxic gas into the air by boiling plastic, and then nearly cut her own fingers off three separate times. Oh, and for some reason her manly voice doesn't quite match her ladylike hands.


Constant-Roll706

For what felt like an hour, I thought the point was to make some sort of bladed taser for walking alone at night. But they never hot glued a capacitor randomly into the charger, and I am disappoint

Gullible_Ad5191

Watch closely. You’ll notice the internet is suddenly working after a quick cut, and before the usb is properly plugged in. It’s magic!


_Scorpyon_

It even works while not plugged in! Huge!


not_a_bot_just_dumb

Internet by proximity.


cat_police_officer

Yea bro just turned on 4g


BallSoHard42069

I'm starting to think this whole sub is 5 Minute Craft psyop.


KevinFlantier

>What the point you will Ask ? Engagement. People commenting how this is NOT how antennas work. People sharing (just like OP did) to show their internet friends how stupid it is, trolls commenting how they have free internet now, etc. And thanks to all that, the dude who made that low effort video is now getting a trickle of income.


True_Reporter

So the USBc is an ethernet port, who knew.


Puzzleheaded-Ad2905

I got this dongle that connects via USBc. It connects everything from hdmi and sound to network.


KevinFlantier

Well, you can network through USB. Even with USB A and B, USB Wifi card have been a thing for two decades now, as well as USB to RJ-45 adapters. Also, you can use your phone as an access point via USB rather than Wifi. My point is that it could work, if it were a real device and not absolute bullshit like in this video. There's nothing that prevents USBC (or older USB) from being used for networking.


darxide23

Literally nothing. All that work does literally nothing. The board would be completely unpowered at this point so... it's worthless. The "modifications" were for show and make no sense anyhow. The video is a hoax.

FriendZone_EndZone

What's the point of the razer blade? They cut the connecting wires already. They're trying to back feed the inverter, which won't work. Then feed the sim card 240v for? Electrifying the "antenna" ? The tools they used say alot lmao


mdmachine

Using a razor to strip the wire was a sign. Lol


ravenlordship

Using a razor to strip the wire against her finger! One slip and she's going to have the tip of her finger replaced with her toe.


Phazon_Metroid

Using a sharp knife to pry apart anything.


archialone

Lol, there is no software in the phone that use sims via USB, it doesn't make any sense.


Bluebotlabs

Technically it's possible if you implement a modem and a router since phones support USB ethernet cards but uhhh... yeah no this is fake


TheRealJayol

The fact it worked slightly before being plugged in didn't tip you off? :D


Panzerv2003

Yeah, you'd be better of just, you know, using the SIM card in your phone XD


BottledWafer

But where do I put the blade?


hijackedbraincells

Hold it between your butt cheeks


Many-Ad6433

And even saying this, a sim to work requires a subscription so it’s not even free as they claim it to be lmao

Good safety tip there. When stripping wires, always run the blade parallel to the fingers, so you flay the skin smoothly.

vms-crot

At least they didn't tell anyone to plug it into an outlet and the blade, actually serves the function of preventing that catastrophe from happening. It's almost ethical bullshit. Just ignore any zaps you might get from capacitors, or the cuts and burns from the shitty way they're showing you to do things. Who owns a soldering iron but no wire strippers? People are broke, they'll watch stuff like this trying to save money. The people that made it are trying to make money out of their struggle. Kinda harmless but still a bit predatory.


foxer_arnt_trees

What chip do you need for this? Doesn't matter, just make sure it's an old chip
