I came up with this question right after I wanted to take apart a microwave to see why it wasn’t heating anything before I remembered that that’s a very, VERY bad idea

    Ok firstly.

    Never, work on anything that is still connected to a power supply.

    This includes any stored energy. Isolate it first. Gravitational, electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic and chemical (if possible).

    Don’t fuck with stored energy.

    Secondly.

    Learn how to test if things are live, or have any stored energy.

    Thirdly.

    Once you KNOW you are safe. Go hard, learn all you can.
