Ever wondered what happens when you buy a $37 waveform generator? Spoiler alert: it doesn’t include a user manual, but it does come with a two-pin power cord—perfect for when you need to practice your electrical engineering skills in a game of "will it fry or won’t it?" CreativeLab's latest bargain adventure reminds us of the good ol' days when such gadgets were equipped for serious waveform wizardry. Now, it seems we’re left with DIY potential and a hopeful prayer that the smoke doesn’t come first. Who needs a user-friendly interface when you can have the thrill of uncertainty? Just think of it as a charming puzzle for the modern tinkerer. Did we really need that extra pin, anyway?
