Best deals of the day

Let's just say that one must discharge to ground the potential stored in an old TV picture tube before trying to remove the flyback lead from the side to avoid getting a nasty zap. Those things can hold that charge for days.

So, just how far did this zap send you ?

Which time (I was a kid at the time)?

All of them. This should be interesting.

Ohh...kay, if you insist. I used to take home old TV chassis I found back behind a TV repair shop to strip for parts back when I was in high school. Since anything more than the chassis was too much to carry home on my bicycle, I would strip the CRT and cabinet from it first. Occasionally, I would forget to ground the flyback lead before removing it from the picture tube and would get knocked down on my then not so ample asset.

And how many times did it take before you learned your lesson ?

I was a kid; how many times do you think?

Just a heads up.

850 EVO has TLC (3-bit per cell) chips.
850 PRO has MLC (2-bit per cell) chips.

Same price for the 850 Evo on Amazon. So I guess not a best deal?

I think Amazon must have some price matching bots.

And this means ??????

More ware on the TLC chips as each cell gets used more and has a shorter life span.
Not a real problem for the average consumer but in a heavy use environment it may matter.

More ware on the TLC chips

What ware - hard ware, soft ware or wear, like wear and tear LOL
