you can put a little bit of solder on the tip to make the heat transfer better
wow that's beautiful
your solder probably has some flux inside of it, which is the white smoke you see
it burns off quite quickly
if you apply it to your iron it burns off before you even get to the joint
I've burnt many boards not doing it properly
so you don't really want to see white smoke
because you want to apply the flux and not burn it off
no, the flux always burns off
you just want it to burn off in the right place
it cleans the joint
ok
oh so that's what flux is
i should buy some of this
white smoke is normal
all engineers I worked with just shove the iron into the flux
depends what kind of flux it is
you can use the flux for cleaning your tip too
everyone where i work uses liquid flux and applies it to the joint

<:implying:589103384699863050> paying over $300 for a computer

<:implying:589103384699863050> Amazon releases a new kindle
<:implying:589103384699863050> it's $250

<:implying:589103384699863050> in 2019
im still using a 45$ kindle from 2012 and all the new ones suck ass because they dont have physical buttons or look as legible without backlight

I already have this feature
on my old kobo
thats probably where they got the idea
colored e-ink when?
literally the only think stopping me from buying one
There is limited color e ink already
I've seen 3 color e ink before, black white and one color
I wish e ink wasn't so locked down
I mean the tech itself
It's expensive because one company controls it all
