Ah yes, hearing Lexi react to TechSupportGore and learning some things in the process. It's therapy for the soul.

I swear, one of my favorite Lexi sayings is "For legal reasons that was a joke, for moral reasons it was not"

i love how Lexi goes on a 3 minute rant about soldering lol

"You mayonnaise sandwich" is a surprisingly savage insult. Kudos there.

I have no idea what these big fancy words mean but it’s still fun watching Lexi explain it and get mad

I didn't ask Lexi to give me a lesson in soldering, but I greatly appreciate Lexi giving me a lesson in soldering.

Just love the disgusted and horrified look caught in the reflection at 17:39 in response to the screw being used to "fix" the laptop's hinge XD

As an electronic circuit, i am terrified.

As a software engineer student. I appreciate Lexi taking her time to explain why some things are in fact tech support gore

17:36 That guy's face reflection is an accurate portrayal of how I most people would have reacted.

As someone who works with electronics repair, I can confirm that everything Lexi said about soldering was 100% correct and factual, and in fact better explained and more encouraging than any professional soldering-course I've taken

6:26 I think you missed the gore. Not only were the soldering joints terrible… they soldered the pi to the breadboard. Notice the lack of pins not sticking up where there was no solder.

As someone who has a surface book, Yea... Those were not repairable. I took it to a repair shop and I was told that they get glued shut, so even if they open it up, it won't sit cleanly after that because aluminum warps when heated. And the battery in the screen did become a pillow after about three years. I have actively advised against buying surfaces, since I ALSO had to get it replaced because the display panel outright failed a day before the warranty expired. I had more issues with the surface in four years than i did with the school laptop I was assigned through high school

7:50 they're basically doing what I did when I first tried soldering. They're just putting the solder on the iron tip then trying to scrape it off onto the pad and pin without using the iron to heat them. That's called a cold solder, and the telltale sign is that ball of solder on the pin. The proper process is:
Heat soldering iron to 360-440 degrees. Touch solder to tip to coat it with a small amount of solder. Touch tip to solder pad to rapidly heat it. Feed solder onto the point where the tip meets the pad and it will flow onto the pad and coat the pin. Flux will also help. Put a dab of it on the pin or pad you're soldering to help the solder flow more easily.

I love Lexi's explanations, makes me feel less dumb

Lexi just shredding that mismatched keyboard made my day.

As someone who is learning soldering, it is definitely something that takes time to develop. If you get just like a $20 soldering iron from the local hardware store instead of a fancy one where you can adjust the temperature of been most of your solders, regardless of how good you are, will still look rough. But the better you are the more you can do with worse tools

"You mayonnaise sandwich" is insult I've never heard before but you know what I like it 19:37
