minus-square@Contramuffin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink8•1 year agoUnless it has to do with electrical wiring or anything dangerous. Part of learning to repair is knowing your limits!
minus-squareMachefilinkfedilink7•1 year agoSome things are very dangerous even though for inexperienced they might not seem so. Case in point: the microwave. It has a powerful capacitor and if you try taking it apart, it might shock you even when disconnected from power
