I've opened up a lot of electronics, and I keep on seeing these stupid little thin wires. On hand I can (and did) pull out three different things with this same wire in it (a clock, a mini arcade machine, and a multimeter), and I suspect my newest broken thing failed because one of these wires went loose.
These things are just overall low-quality. They're easily frayed, they never stay on their joint for long, and they're everywhere. For this reason, I call them McWires. I have attached examples below; one appears to have rusted, and the last image shows a McWire that came broken off out of the box... no joke.
Does anyone know how I can replace these with higher-quality wires or how to avoid them altogether? Any help appreciated.
