We really do need to acknowledge that spending time taking things apart is a critical life skill. If you don't do it, you're forever a slave to buying new things.
- _carbyau_ 2y agoAgreed. I take apart stuff that is dead, partly to see how it comes apart and gain skills in finding hidden screws(under stickers et al) or non-destructively popping plastic clips (80% success rate...). But also once it's apart to see how it functions, what good design choices were made vs what was a bad choice because it broke. How could it be improved? Are all the design choices for the consumer? etc etc Aside: I have a lot of HDD platters sitting around.
