You just gotta love products with articial weights in them, because they would “feel cheap” otherwise.

Also, that red stuff on those connectors might be glue? To make it harder to disconnect them?
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Where the heck did you find that? What is that thing? Yeah, totally looks like an attempt to make some garbage feel more solid. Unless this steel plate is actually used for attaching bolts from the other side or something like that. Which I highly doubt, given that there are muuuuuch cheaper options to install various types of nuts in plastic.
Yeah, this goo makes it just harder to disconnect. I bet it doesn’t add water protection to the connections at all.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That’s from a radio / CD-player thingy that someone in my family gave me so that I can try to repair it. (Indeed, some capacitors have blown up. But if that doesn’t fix it, I don’t know what to do. 😅)
There’s nothing on the other side. This really is just a block of metal that acts as a weight.
