Older people could fix and build anything. To me some of the things they do is totally McGyver level shit.
- pixl97 3y agoI think there is some partial issues here... It is not just about people, it is also about devices. Most of these people you're talking about today, if given an old device and a simple set of instructions could fix said device. Now, I like to think I can pull off some McGyver level shit, but when the first step of fixing a modern device is "Heat the device to 250F to break the epoxy bond and then take it to your solder station" then actually fixing this stuff is closer to galaxy level brain.
