I too can't resist the urge to open things (often brand new ones) to see what makes them tick and if they could be improved.
That actually paid off recently when I noticed an odd rattle inside the just unpacked little mains powered fan heater I bought for my caravan. Turned out the fan blade had come off its shaft, it looks like its held there just magnetically and the courier might have dropped the parcel. Anyway, it would have lasted just seconds without a spinning fan blade and possibly caught fire before I could switch it off.
Lesson learned: fan blades can come off accidentally though I never saw that kind of blade doing it.
Keep the projects coming Poida, your programming skills are something to aspire to but I, at my age, never will reach, unfortunately.
