We bought a 250 year old abandoned watermill, its been unloved for 20 years. We are working on turning it into a family home, doing all the work ourselves. It's on an island, in the very far north reaches of Scotland. We've got a lot of work ahead!

It's hakko style tips, which a lot of people like
I'm not a fan, but my stack of JBC rework stations is likely 1000x more expensive than this...

If we lock our cars here, the post people complain because they can't put mail/parcels in the car. Houses only get locked when the wind might blow the doors open

Too much paste, stencil was floating. Board was heated too fast leading to solder balling. 7/10.

No they are not. The laser breaks up the ink particles and the goal is to not damage the skin. The faster the laser pulse the more differential heating the ink takes and there fractures into smaller pieces

The moulds cost more to manufacture and wear out faster (wear is very noticeable with transparent parts) so transparent shots are typically much more expensive, only feasible on limited runs, or reserved for the first dozens of shots. Basically, transparent parts are a pain

It's either Photoshop or generative ai... Look at the components in the red/black stuff, they just fade away, same with the cables

I just replaced our front door lock that had worn out with a new one, same style key. British Standards stamped and insurance approved.

Make sure your have your emc testing squared away, governments don't take kindly to uncertified devices being sold, no matter the production volume

You need to shift your thinking, instead of thinking about what would be good for the consumer/audience, instead you should think what is safe and highly profitable for the shareholders.

Lead acid batteries are one of the most recycled things on earth. Producing concrete is one of the biggest causes of green house gas emissions in the world.

That's actually a pretty good performance, they haven't managed to lose all your retirement funds yet!

This is why we are restoring a derelict building, doing it cash as we can afford it, and taking it time

Doesn't seem right. Ump4.6k on 8:1 compression does about 22gb/min. Lower compression is around 480mb/second.
