I'm always humbled when I see other peoples soldering skills. goddamn. And I love reading this type of stuff, doing things just "because". I found a rusty usb under a overpass a few months ago, after some cleaning/soldering/tricks I was finally able to read it and it turned out to be some kids schoolwork from 3 years ago haha
on a side I would suggest posting this over at hackaday, the marketers-pretending-to-be-hackers crowd here won't appreciate this.
- jwise0 12y agoThanks. My soldering skills are not particularly special, though magnification certainly helps steady the hand! In the end, the real saviour here was the Schmartboard, which has these nicely recessed divots in the board that you can just 'push' solder along. I'll consider sending this to Hackaday, too -- thanks for the reminder. That said, I've found that the HackerNews audience is pretty diverse in interest; you might be surprised what comes between the startup fever...
- tytytytyty 12y agoalthough the account is new I've been lurking for some time. [deleted tirade] in short, no I would not and am not surprised. this article was a nugget buried inside a mountain of irrelevant shit.
