This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

When I was a kid, in my country all machinery and electronics were accompanied with full mechanical and electrical schematics.
A lot of times it's because those things required maintenance, and it was possible to do with basic tools.
Most things these days aren't built with maintenance in mind, mostly because they're obsolete before they need to be fixed.
There are certainly things that doesn't apply to, but for a lot of consumer products, it is.
"Obsolete"
Also if a CPU breaks in any way, you can't fix it. Best to throw it away and get a new one.
Good thing is they basically never break, anyways.
good luck getting the electrical scheme of a current CPU
not because they're secret, but because they're pointless. you wouldn't understand anything from such a schematic. it's way too complicated, and has to be broken down with lots of extra annotations to be comprehensible.
