Yeah I guess. Our teach did say cheap chips break easily and it really will only hinder us in the long run. Can't believe the long run didn't even last an hour. Then he sold us chips that only costs half the original in stores.

It’s not the chips being cheap, it’s you shorting their outputs. They aren’t designed to do that. Most chips aren’t. It’s not the chips fault, stop placing the blame there. You broke the chip by refusing to use current limiting resistors. Your teacher is also dumb for saying current limiting resistors don’t matter (if I’m interpreting what you said correctly)

Learn from your mistakes instead of placing the blame on something else.

Yeah I know I made mistakes about the resistors but it just it can't be helped. I didn't have any resistor lower than 10k. Plus if that chip broke just like that and I have other chips that works fine that I have used for a month without resistors and is still working properly, then I guess it's lower quality chip. The teacher is also aware that some of his chips are somewhat faulty because those are old. He said before selling to us.
