Planned Obsolescence is absolutely a thing. The HP 4000 and 6000 series printers both have small, cheap sponges near moving parts that are reportedly for noise reduction. The trouble is, they're held on with some pretty good double sided tape. Over time, the sponges wear away and parts start to stick on the now exposed tape, causing paper jams. The fix is to just scrape it all off and wipe away the sticky residue. Funnily enough, I've never been able to hear the difference in a printer before or after those "noise reduction features" were removed. If it was just the 4000s I might buy that it's an honest mistake but when the same exact flaw is in the newer 6000 printers, in the same exact spot, I call shenanigans.

HP has always been like that though. just look at the old deskjets, if you're lucky you'd be able to actually finish an ink cartridge before the printer itself fails... also in the early to mid 2000's their computers, their computers where designed as so you would throw it in the bin and buy another as soon as, if not before the warranty period runs out. my aunt got a brand new 1.8ghz Pentium 4 from them shortly after i'd built my 1.4ghz Pentium 3 and tried to tell me that her's was better than mine... the netburst p4 was slower than my p3 for a start (not HP's fault) however, whilst i was struggling with a pitiful 368mb of ram, HP figured that not only was 128 megs plenty for XP and all their factory installed bloat, but they felt the need to sacrifice 32 meg of it on a pitiful onboard gpu! heck, my videocard had access to more memory than her windows did... not bad for the $1,000 price disparity right?

Teacher in chemistry class: *asks me confusing question** Me: *electron shenanigans*

This is fascinating. As a lover of vintage technology I've been learning about various ways to repair those tiny physical defects, and there are ways to fix most anything short of electron shenanigans. So from what I've seen, the way a vast majority of electronics die before their full lifetime is because they are no longer in the possession of somebody who cares enough to do the often simple maintenance and repairs that can revive them. Of course once there are no longer any replacement parts for vital components that are truly beyond repair and cannot be produced by hobbyists and enthusiasts (mainly the heavily guarded industrial secrets) life as we know it will be turned upside down, but I don't see that happening for a very long time.

It doesn't matter. The corporate big-wigs get their work-arounds via toxic updates and "instabilities" and "patches"... You ever wonder how (for instance) a company like Microsoft can hire a literal army of software engineers, all working toward the same general purpose, and still not accomplish a single completely functional operating system by the date of release? Think about that... And note, I purposefully used "date of release" not "deadline" or "due date"... As to "the same general purpose" (since someone will doubtless complain for ambiguity)... It's simple. As part of a single company, the individual will want to keep working (even gain rank within the company) so it would stand to reason, sending a reliable, useful, durable product to the public for all its accolades would gain the company respect, loyalties, and return business... Instead. within a day of being released, there's a patch and a stack of updates to keep your computer humming till (what seems like) rapture. So... not even a day of operation? Not a couple hours test-drive on the information highway? No, more updates... more patches... more "sorry, but this shit don't work right either, so you'll be able to have use of your computer in a few more days... weeks... oh hell, just forget about it and smoke weed like a good little soldier... :o)

Planned obsolescence is a very real thing. I used to work for a company who were masters of this. We would be in the prototype phase and when we designed a part, it was in the framework of "make it last, but not too long". The price of a part would be equal if we used the heavier gauge steel instead of the lighter, but that would make it too robust, too long of a lifespan. So we choose the thinner stuff. And we plan it to fail two to four months from warranty expiration. And to make it worse, we could make the failure to appear the user's fault. That is what I had issue with, and thus ended my employment there. No place for that sentimental dawdle in this day and age.

"Planned obsolescence" is not a thing or, more precisely, it's usually misunderstood, it's not a plot to exploit people by somehow knowing exactly when something will break or wear out. All it basically is is the intersection of cost and demand i.e. "how much are people willing to pay" that determines the quality or lifespan of a product. For example, how much would you be willing to pay for a typewriter that lasts a 1000 years? Probably not ever much since typewriters are obsolete technology. We can build things to last longer, yes, but most customers are not willing to pay very much for a smart phone that lasts 20 years when it's obsolete in less than 5. It's customers that drive "planed obsolescence".

Me, knowing almost nothing about electronics, basically understood. Well explained.

Nice overview. Three key points to add: 1. Important to stress the most common causes of failure and how users can avoid them (e.g. heat, abuse of connectors, dropping, liquids). 2. Biggest problem I've found is that websites become bloated with videos, pop-ups, scripts, etc. so that more powerful hardware is required to deal with them (alternately, ad blockers). 3. Some of the long-term problems you mention could be planned for by ensuring that vulnerable parts can be replaced. Batteries, hard drives and memory for example.

I have worked in NAND drive development for 8 years. If all goes well we know the precise number of cycles we can read write or clear bits. Done properly, we can slowly and safely manage the data. Using trend analysis we can even alert you ahead of time before a failure. As NAND gets smaller it wears out sooner. This is why old devices from the 80's will actually outlasts newer devices.

This was very educational! I'm an EE/inventor. I have a flying invention on my channel with no moving parts except ions and electrons. I was trying to figure out reasons why it isn't too reliable yet, other than the obvious. Perhaps, if I add more lightweight cooling fins it will at least prolong the life of the affected parts. I never hear much about electromigration before either.

He doesn't mention a VERY important reason why capacitors fail; because manufacturers are cheapskates who under-rate their components to save a few cents. Lower voltage devices are cheaper, but putting a 6 volt capacitor in a 5 volt circuit is suicide for a circuit board.

Just wrong though. A 6 volt capacitor can STAND 6 volt, and actually is "over-planned" by 1 volt and works just fine in a 5 volt circuit. It's more like they put max (!) a 5 volt capacitor in a 5 volt circuit or maybe go even slightly lower, planning for no headroom (though turning on certain devices draws MORE volt than usually is there for a short periods of time), therefore the lifespan is shorter. Headroom would just cost more money, so they try to avoid it. But you were close lol :p

It fascinats me how electricity behaves very much like water. The effects he's referring to become far more noticeable when you deal with high energy electronics that operate in the megawatt range. A lot of parts in these type of devices have to be replaced due to wear caused by the huge amounts of current going through them. The damage resembles sort of the wear and tear of water on on pipes and river banks overtime.

I have always had issues with surface mounted components in that not enough solder typically makes the connections to them leading to breaking intermittent connectivity over time through heat and cold stresses having that lead to ultimate failures within the circuitry. Indeed, planned obsolescence due to lack of enough solder on the connections. Through time, they break apart and no longer are dependable. What's worse is that in the wave soldering process it IS possible to bring forth enough solder to make that not be at issue, but most manufacturers don't and/or refuse to make it any sort of a priority.

Master Chef369 jeez I see you everywhere

Thanks! I realize you are speaking of plug in devices. Here are some additional observations with installed systems based on over three decades in the business. Alarm systems rarely cycle power and some fire alarms are 30+ years old. Many are highly stable. The biggest problem is high voltage power spikes such as lightening. I have seen plenty and learned a great deal. However, much of this is mitigated with newer power supplies and selecting industrial grade surge protection. People may help save devices by unplugging them during a bad lightning storm. An iPad obviously does not need 120 volts during that time. We have UPS power supplies on all desktops, stereo, TV’s, Tivo’s; Siemans surge protection on the Main electrical panel and on both central air condensers’, and because we are on a ridge, we have lightning rods on the roof with a bonded ground system. We even use cascading Lurton Maestro dimmers on all down lights and only had two lights burn out in 23 years. Be a victim or be a wise guy.

Techquickie, what temperature range is good for a computer? At what temperature do computer components start to expand and contract to the extent that it could cause damage the computer? I live in a hot climate, therefore this is a concern for me.

now explain why my IBM 8088 built in 1988 still work perfectly but a pc i bought in 2005 is basically a paper weight i scrap for parts and uh screws cant get enough screws

Thank you! very informative. I've always wondered about that. PS What is the most robust information storage medium for archiving data, we have today? Lastly, do think it's reasonable to overclock a PC, given that it will obsolesce before it gives out? On that note, if a system is overclocked and cooled properly, will its lifespan be diminished as a consequence?

Micro fracture in BGA, whiskers from solder points creating shorts, temperature fluctuations causing PCB flexing, degrading electrolytes in capacitors, finite program erase cycles in flash, degradation in moving parts, dust build up and static discharge and the list goes one.

Over three decades of managing hardware, the main and most prevalent culprits are heat cycling (don’t turn off after running hot), vibration, bad power line conditions, software updates degrade perf and even can cause physical damage.

I got the impression from the video that new and smaller architecture CPUs would die faster because the transistors are so small. So maybe older machines will last much much longer due to the larger architecture of the CPU. also if you never use it that will probably help prolong its lifespan. So that makes me wonder if I buy the newest and most expensive CPU available today, will it be dead in 5 years, whereas a CPU from 20 years ago would probably last many many times longer?

However, yes since the electrons are part of atoms and wouldn't be useful without the protons and neutrons. But then, you literally are doing everything in your life with atoms because all matter (including your body) is made up of atoms. So, everything you do in life involves at least the atoms that make up your body, the ground you walk on and the air you breath... and more if you sit down, touch something or in any way interact with anything. There is just no escaping the involvement of atoms in life.

Don't often click on the random vids YT recommends but when I saw a much younger looking Luke I got curious. An interesting fact relating to thermal expansion: The first electronic* computer, the Colossus I, was built during WWII to help decrypt Nazi Tunny Codes used by their naval forces (their army used Enigma codes which were defeated with an electromechancial computer called La Bomba). When the proposition to build Colossus was first made there was a lot of push back because it was a well known fact that vacuum tubes (which the British call thermionic valves) failed quite rapidly, fortunately there was someone there (I think Tommy Flowers) that had experience with vacuum tubes and knew that so long as they kept the tubes warm they would last a lot longer. The reason the tubes normally failed is because of rapid heating and cooling. *Colossus I and it's successors were special purpose computers, the first general purpose computer was made later using similar principles.

Wow I really didnt expect to hear of electromigration in such a video. Impressive! And it was quite good explained as well :-)

A month ago my main TV had still a CRT. I (or my parents) have never replaced a big TV that was not broken. In that way it is good that a device that has already served its expected life time breaks and urges to buy new and better one. First time we replaced color TV was in 1983, then we got a remote, then in 1990 NICAM stereo, SCART and text-TV. Next time it was 100 Hz Wide screen and now a smart TV.

The old axiom about "moving parts = failure" crumbles when you consider how many more failure points there are in an electronic substitute for a mechanical part. Perfect example is the $350 Anti-Lock Braking control module for my car. It is no longer communicating with the Engine Control Module (main computer), so it has likely had an internal physical failure. The mechanical aspects of the braking system work just fine, however - the car slows and stops just as it ever did when pressing the brake (it has simply reverted to a non-ABS system). Both the mechanical components and the electronic ABS control module are the same age, but I'm about to burn $350 and an afternoon to make a light on my dashboard turn off, due to an electronic failure.

Harambe is never forgotten!

Shame you skipped one of the more common failure causes, especially in modern computers: timing mismatch induced short circuiting. When you build massive networks of logic gates to form all of the necessary logic to make a computer of any sort. You have a minimum time you must wait before you can trust the output of any logical inversion, the time it takes for the signal to go from the input side to the output side. When you break the essential circuits down to logical inversion in diagram form, it's pretty clear there are some paths faster than others. Imagine this: you have a wire that can have voltages in it ranging from 0.85V to 1.35V. Some things connected to this wire can't handle the full 1.35V while other's can. It's just not feasible or even possible to separate them due to what they are needed for. So you build a gate system that will shut off that power wire to anything that might be hurt by the full 1.35V if it's about to be changed to that voltage. Simple solution, works really good majority of the time. However we want blazing fast chips so we do this as fast as possible with no wiggle room for maybe an electron going missing from that "shut off low voltage circuits" line. Chips suffer from this a lot, they are built for it with a stated tolerance level based around exactly that problem. The higher end of the tolerance is where it's going to happen enough to notice a difference in lifespan of the chip. This is also where the mistakenly though up "Planned Obsolescence", at least as rampantly, actually comes from. They know in a few years, your most likely going to upgrade your machine or just replace the part at significantly lower price from age depreciation. So why not pick how hard your pushing things to provide the best bang for the buck for the range of time your expected to own it. It's a tradeoff of lifespan for balls to the wall power.

A couple of years ago we used stationary computers in home, and they have no real on/off swithc they had standby swithces, but when you press the stand by switch - the fan stopps and then noting cooling the small stand by power supply, so it overheats, often a capacitor in the power supply unit box.

Hard reset can reset its counter. Most devices rely on the battery, causing malfunctions when not replaced. An interesting memory effect exist in battery resistors (000 and 200). To remove it, solar power bank is needed for 2 charges.

Best reference. Ever.

Mechanical and hydraulic systems usually give a fair bit of warning before they fail completely, but when electronics fail, it's usually without any warning. This is what concerns me about modern vehicles, as "drive by wire" systems are becoming more and more common. Electronics tend to be one of the less reliable aspects of a car.

Oxidation. Only gas tight connections are immune to it. Switch contacts, jumper pins, ribbon connectors and so on are potential failure points. Examples of gas tight connections are soldered or crimped and screwed down terminals.
