My nephew is an electronics nerd of sorts.

He raised a disturbing point about the recent proliferation of youTube videos detailing:

- how to get the laser diode out of a laptop DVD burner
- how to turn a 5mw laser into a 100mw laser
- and so on.

The vids he showed me each had several million views

Of course, any one smart enough to do these hacks isnt going to test it out on the nearest jet, right?


Go with what you know.
@Wirbelsturm - wise words, sir
