That is really interesting! I always though those things where solid state and wouldn't age over time!
It makes a ton more sense that there is a somewhat of a reset that is randomly happening when people are fixing stuff nearby and thinking their main target was the thing that fixed it.
- fuzzfactor 2y agoKeep in mind that aluminum electrolytic capacitors are not solid-state devices themselves, actually liquid-state in a somewhat similar way to lead-acid batteries.

FWIW, thanks to a number of issues, even solid state devices will fail over time. https://c3.ndc.nasa.gov/dashlink/static/media/other/ObservedFailures37.html https://c3.ndc.nasa.gov/dashlink/static/media/other/Observed... (This entire presentation is worth the read, by the way).
- lxgr 2y agoMany solid state things age: Plastic and rubber can get weird/gross to the touch over the course of a few years or change color (due to additive breakdown/outgassing, UV radiation etc.). Flash storage cells can lose their stored information (over time) or their capacity to retain it (due to wear, i.e. erase cycles that are each slightly destructive to the materials) etc – and we even use them in things called "solid state drives" :)
- kjs3 2y agothings where solid state and wouldn't age over time Common misconception. Most solid state tech will fail over time, with wildly different timescales depending on the tech. For example, semiconductor technology is subject to electromigration, thermal effects and other material failures. As design geometries get smaller, these effects get worse.
