A look at how the Banksy artwork prank "Girl with a Balloon" shredded itself moments after being sold for £1M at a Sotheby's auction. How long did it sit idle waiting to be triggered?, and was this actually possible? NOTE: The Artwork was authenticated by "Pest Control", which is Banksy's own authentication house. If the artwork was delivered to them for checking before the auction, this is when they installed the mechanism. I still think the at least the seller has to be in on it, and likely the buyer (otherwise they could sue Banksy and bring his real name into the public). And if Sotheby's were in on it (they'd lose their reputation if they were) they look like fools. Lose--lose for Sotheby's.

Just how different are linear, LDO and switching buck voltage regulators? I'm glad you asked!
You might be surprised...
It's tutorial time.
NOTE: There are many different methods of SMPS control, this is just one of the simple ones, go investigate!

An unbelievable fault in Dave's Alesis M1 Active 520USB powered studio monitor speaker.
Can you discover the culprit before Dave does?
This was supposed to be a boring trivial repair of a power LED, but it turned into something much more interesting.

1 minute tech tip!
Dave shows how to remove sticker residue from test equipment without damage, using a plastic pencil eraser. No chemicals required!
It also works for those troublesome security stickers.
Handy for sprucing up equipment before resale on ebay.
