Hi,
Just wanted to check if anyone else has noticed this worrying direction that Chinese electronic equipments are going. Few years back I’ve noticed that the electric cables had mixed steel wire with copper wires. Now more and more equipment with cables made completely with steel wires. They look like tinned wires but when you try with magnet it will attract it. Not only steel rust quickly leading to issues but it has inferior conductivity (~6x) compared to copper.
Anyone noticed this and what are your thoughts about it?
