Dont worry they are just fixing the mainframe so the core is more stable

We all know programming is just htop and sometimes tree.

Hey quit soldering my code like that!

Because the target audience likely doesn't know much about computers, and the stock buyer likely knows as little, so the stock buyer can pick whatever looks compelling. The stock photographer is just chasing the trends.

Keywords also create a bias. I doubt most buyers are searching "land grid array", but "soldering iron" is synonymous with anything electronics/hardware related.

Though for once there’s no hand in frame getting third degree burns by grabbing the end of the iron…

Use this one trick the chip-producers don't want you to know...

Given I am an hacker I can tell from this image that the IP address of this mainframe is 365.127.42.555

That iron has never even been turned on! Where are the purples, and browns?

[-] PixeIOrange@feddit.de 7 points 7 months ago

Its used in its energy saving mode. This is to avoid too vivid solders.

@Synthead We are having guests over. Get out the good soldering iron!

Back in my day we used to unlock clock multipliers by shorting the right pins.

You're supposed to apply thermal paste to the soldering iron too, to increase it's thermalness!

This image causes me physical pain, please delete it

He's soldering his microscopic hacking tools to the pins. It's a Chinese technique.
