@ractionjackson:matrix.orgCrazySeaweedTypically what temperature or what ratio of solder is used for PCBs? 00:56:10
@zakadius:matrix.orgzakadiusI have no idea, the only time I had issue soldering was with my printer's hotbed because it was taking so much of the heat there wasn't enough to melt the solder00:57:51
@zakadius:matrix.orgzakadiusIts fine for soldering keyboard stuff though which is what I use it for00:58:34

Well then, this is the rare time Google isn't outwardly a piece of shit for a change. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/google-extends-security-update-support-for-chromebooks-to-10-years/
well
if Chromebooks weren't shit, this would be a good thing
00:58:42
@ractionjackson:matrix.orgCrazySeaweedTS100 is my first "temperature controlled" iron, I bought it because I didn't want to suck when repairing more... delicate and smaller things. Before it was like "Okay, plug in the 40W Weller, clean tip? Wait 3-5 minutes... tin the tip... go!"00:59:18
@dfx4509b:matrix.orgDFX4509BThe fact that academia and the corporate world probably forced their hands to do that doesn't help either.00:59:21
@dfx4509b:matrix.orgDFX4509B * The fact that academia and the corporate world probably forced their hand to do that doesn't help either.00:59:28
@dfx4509b:matrix.orgDFX4509BIf they didn't have corporate or academic customers, I doubt they'd support Chromebooks for a decade based on their anti-consumer history.01:00:20

What's the default temperature you're using? There are lots of TS100 "knock offs" so I probably have one of those...
01:00:55
@ractionjackson:matrix.orgCrazySeaweedAlso, the solder I have is some crappy mixture and might not even be rosin core'd01:01:23
@zakadius:matrix.orgzakadiusI haven't used it in a while but iirc it was 200c or something like that maybe 250c. It can go up to 300c if I ever need it.01:02:25
@dfx4509b:matrix.orgDFX4509B * If they didn't have corporate or academic customers, I doubt they'd otherwise support Chromebooks for a decade based on their anti-consumer history.01:06:42

most colleges have school stores that sell macs or dells
not chromebooks

@dfx4509b:matrix.orgDFX4509BChromebooks are seemingly big in the K-12 scene though.01:08:28
@dfx4509b:matrix.orgDFX4509BThat and some WfH employers use them on the corporate side.01:09:04

Chromebooks shouldn't exist in the K-4th space
01:09:41
@deus_machima:matrix.orgNZKshatriyaor any tech more than a flip phone01:09:50
@dfx4509b:matrix.orgDFX4509BI use K-12 to blanket 'public school' under generally.01:10:24
@deus_machima:matrix.orgNZKshatriyaI think we should replace K-12 with the Japan school system where "High School" is really college prep01:11:09
@dfx4509b:matrix.orgDFX4509BBut yeah, Chromebooks are particularly big there due to their low cost, ease of deployment, and ease to completely lock down.01:11:14
@dfx4509b:matrix.orgDFX4509BAs if you can do much on one to begin with.01:12:13
@dfx4509b:matrix.orgDFX4509BDeploying Macbook Airs in a public school setting would end in disaster as the base price for one is $1,300.01:15:34
@dfx4509b:matrix.orgDFX4509BChromebooks are a fraction of that.01:15:54
@dfx4509b:matrix.orgDFX4509B * Deploying Macbook Airs in a public school setting would end in disaster as the base price for one is $1,300 and school kids are notoriously abusive to their tech.01:16:44
