 CrazySeaweed | Typically what temperature or what ratio of solder is used for PCBs? | 00:56:10 |
 zakadius | I 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 solder | 00:57:51 |
| zakadius | Its fine for soldering keyboard stuff though which is what I use it for | 00:58:34 |

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 |
| CrazySeaweed | TS100 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 | The fact that academia and the corporate world probably forced their hands to do that doesn't help either. | 00:59:21 |

| DFX4509B | If 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 |

| CrazySeaweed | Also, the solder I have is some crappy mixture and might not even be rosin core'd | 01:01:23 |
| zakadius | I 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 |

The fact that academia and the corporate world probably forced their hand to do that doesn't help either. most colleges have school stores that sell macs or dells
not chromebooks | 01:07:35 |
| DFX4509B | Chromebooks are seemingly big in the K-12 scene though. | 01:08:28 |
| DFX4509B | That and some WfH employers use them on the corporate side. | 01:09:04 |

Chromebooks are seemingly big in the K-12 scene though. Chromebooks shouldn't exist in the K-4th space | 01:09:41 |
| NZKshatriya | or any tech more than a flip phone | 01:09:50 |
| DFX4509B | I use K-12 to blanket 'public school' under generally. | 01:10:24 |
| NZKshatriya | I think we should replace K-12 with the Japan school system
where "High School" is really college prep | 01:11:09 |
| DFX4509B | But yeah, Chromebooks are particularly big there due to their low cost, ease of deployment, and ease to completely lock down. | 01:11:14 |
| DFX4509B | As if you can do much on one to begin with. | 01:12:13 |
| DFX4509B | Deploying Macbook Airs in a public school setting would end in disaster as the base price for one is $1,300. | 01:15:34 |
| DFX4509B | Chromebooks are a fraction of that. | 01:15:54 |
| DFX4509B | * 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 |

deploy Dell Latitude 3310 Education editions | 01:18:48 |
| DFX4509B | OK, they actually make graphene thermal pads now. https://www.thermal-grizzly.com/en/products/625-kryosheet-en | 02:14:12 |
| NZKshatriya | Time to replace my carbonaut pads | 05:40:14 |
