Problem is that Keysight donated fully functional 1 GHZ oscilloscope to this retard to destroy it.... Instead give it to the kid that won 1 st award on a local physic or electronics high school competition. Morale of the story, let's be idiots... |

The watercooling system is an interesting idea. There is quite a bit of equipment out there with heatsinks and screeming fans just to cool a few devices. I can do without the LEDs for sure but it could be an interesting idea to get cooling directed at devices which need it the most. I'd say A for effort. Pity that the RGB lit encoder knobs didn't work out. But the guy needs a financial donation to get his glasses fixed. Some people just like to mod stuff. This car probably cost more than $20k and look what someone with a sick mind did to it: --- End quote --- Well, that's also an idiot.. Except Mercedes didn't donate this car to be destroyed. Some weirdo doing this to his own car is different from Mercedes sponsoring it... |

You are just jealous you didn't come up with it --- End quote --- No. I'm stupefied by the uselessification of a wonderful tool. Did they mod the scope to fit in a passively-cooled silent chassis, for anechoic chamber testing? No. Did they mod the scope to reduce its EMI and EMI sensitivity, for EMI chamber testing? No. Not even seeing if adding a grounded ITO layer in front of the display could remove the (little) EMI from the display (although that makes touch screens inoperable)? No. Did they mod the scope to sit nicely in a standard 19" rack, which everybody uses to build transportable test setups and even scientific experiments? No. Did they use the scope as a tool? No, they just wanted eye candy. I just left academia, because while I am a pretty darn good simulator and research software tool developer, at least here nobody is interested in that: it is much easier to just buy more hardware (typically top-tier Nvidia gear for GPU computation), and use the same inefficient software we've had for the last two or three decades. Talk about using a hammer to drive screws in... Like Keysight here, nobody is interested in actually modifying the tools so that they'd be better suited for the task, since it is easier to get funding for more new hardware instead. Everything is measured using oddball metrics (like "views on Youtube", or the number of published papers per employee ignoring whether those papers are correct or need to be retracted later – those are Somebody Elses Problems). Like with the blinged-out scope, it's easy to get attention by doing whatever everyone else is also already doing; at least then you're swimming with the flow, not against it. And it's stupid: waste of an expensive tool, and a tool that many hobbyists like myself cannot afford. (My current "scope" is an Analog Discovery 2 board. I only do low voltage stuff, but I do need differential input in the 0..5 VDC range, for example for measuring gadgets' 5VDC current draw over a shunt resistor; typically the exact value isn't that interesting, as I'm more looking at the spikiness and fluctuation instead. Glitches in the current flow in the 10 Hz - 1 MHz frequency range, really. A proper scope and a differential probe is > 1k€. And if I save up to that, I better save up for a better model, so I can do rough EMI testing – at least comparative testing, to see if the device I'm working on produces less EMI than a known acceptable device. And then I might be ready to get a reflow oven, and consider moving to 4/6-layer boards and BGA components. So yeah, I am jealous of those who get free expensive tools, because I know how useful good tools are. Seeing them converted to a Raspberry Pi Light Show is, frankly, pretty damn offensive.) |

IOW: it is likely faulty/ broken in one or more ways and no longer suitable as lab equipment or even a prop. Note that later on in the video the guy mentions it shuts down every now and then. 2) Keysight has sponsored the video to attract more attention & contestants to their annual contest; that is how the project serves their purpose. |
