![@_oftc_[-vO]wl:matrix.org](./avatar/%5B-vO%5Dwl) [-vO]wl | my soldering fucking sucks ass man | 21:39:11 |
| [-vO]wl | so normally i don't get the terminals hot enough so the solder doesn't cling properly to the wires / contacts, and i get like cold joints | 21:39:40 |
| [-vO]wl | so like i was like fuck it, this time, i'm going to do it properly | 21:39:53 |
| [-vO]wl | i'm going to really heat up the terminals and the solder is going to stick to it like shit to a blanket and it'll be fucking golden | 21:40:16 |
| [-vO]wl | so i'm sat there waiting for my contacts to heat up | 21:40:28 |
| [-vO]wl | and the contact completely falls out of the switch | 21:40:37 |
| [-vO]wl | i'm like what the fuck is wrong now ? | 21:40:43 |
| [-vO]wl | turns out the plastic switch melted and the terminal fell out | 21:40:54 |
| [-vO]wl | like basically, with soldering you can't win | 21:41:07 |
| [-vO]wl | if it's not hot enough it's shitty joints | 21:41:15 |
| [-vO]wl | if it's too hot your shit melts | 21:41:20 |
| [-vO]wl | fortunately it was the LED terminal that fell off | 21:41:29 |
| [-vO]wl | which i don't technically need | 21:41:35 |
| [-vO]wl | i mean it would have been nice to actually have an LED | 21:41:47 |
| [-vO]wl | but yeah i melted that shit | 21:41:57 |
| [-vO]wl | so like what can you do | 21:42:01 |
| [-vO]wl | the switch still works though | 21:42:06 |
| [-vO]wl | probably just reduced the lifetime of switch by about 40 years | 21:43:12 |
| [-vO]wl | yeah fuck it, LEDs are for fannies anyway | 21:50:41 |
