Just how dangerous is static electricity to your PC? Are ESD wrist bands just a "big tech" scam, or are they a necessity to protect your much-loved gaming rig? Linus and ElectroBOOM investigate.

is a technique someone has successfully used for years of getting naked and wrist strap grounded in a non-carpeted room and telling the gf she must also comply and remain sequestered each time a new build or upgrade is performed for either of them overkill? asking for a friend. seriously though, reading that out loud my gf just realized how kinky it sounds. Definitely not overkill.

Take a shot of beer every time you see Linus using a ground strap in any video after this.... ......Spoiler... Nobody will be getting a buzz for a very very very long time =P ... But drinking leads to chasing rabbits naked, So I guess he is doing us all a favour

I think they are overlooking the fact that sometimes components are damaged but don't always die. Which to me would seem to be worse than if it just died.

It's a real thing but I've only seen it twice.. once a on a stick of ram killed it dead, once on the chipset of a 486.. still worked but memory and hdd problems. you really need to run memtest to actually check if the stick is damaged after that. if you handle things by edges you'll probably rarely if ever run into it even without a ground strap.

This video just saved my panic. I saw it a while ago when initially published. So bc I'm stupid I have my MB and GPU half way hanging out of the pc to test it, the accidentally (lightly) yanked a cable plugged in and everything immediately shut off and I saw a spark. Immediately when it happened I thought of this video and was instantly less stressed about.. Thankfully it booted back up on its own and haven't had an issue in the last 20min since. THANK YOU!!

I love how at 7:57 he holds the gun far enough away to cause arcing/pain when just pressing the gun against the skin would have been painless, and Linus doesn't even question it.
