Genuienly don’t mind if I didn’t have to commute + office politics + random inefficiencies + …
Oh this would be so funny if a hanged this image around my university’s fab lab.
Everything in this photo hurts to look at.
Pretty wild turning a Masochism hobby into a job in Electronics Manufacturing.
Her hobbies are being a stock photo model and self-inflicted pain.
Checkmate,
atheistsnerds.don’t
you lose the love you had for your hobby
I mean I turned my hobby of math and engineering into a major worthwhile pursuing.
I still don’t hate it yet.
i turned my hobby of solving puzzles and board games into a decent career in finance/accounting. i still have trouble playing board games now, it killed it that bad.
Why does this board smell like burnt fingers?
Turn your hobby
Into a slobbie…
I like 3D printing so I’m studying mechanical engineering, the only problem is that the teacher keeps talking about this “Cauculus” thing and I don’t know what it is but sure it doesn’t mater.
/j actually math is quite a beautiful thing ngl.
I tried to make a joke about shit and everyone is just criticizing her soldering technique. Peak lemmy
Big jobbies, the lot of them.
It’s a picture of a woman doing something wrong.
That’s like catnip to lemmites
Oh come on. It could be anyone with that technique.
It’s like the image of the Japanese girls playing a console and nothing’s plugged in, it’s never not going to be the original meme 🤣
This has repost potential you say.
Dinna fash yersel. I kent fit yi meant. Ah didna quite weet my briogs bit I did snort oot ma naise!
But her fucking hand!!! What do you mean “technique?” She’s MELTING.
Holding it wrong? Check. No solder? Check. No soldering iron stand? Check. No fume filter? Check. No ESD mat? Check. No third hand or other holder? Check. No way to clean the soldering iron tip? Check.
How hard is it to talk to someone that actually does what you want to show and make sure it’s at least a reasonable depiction? Oh wait people are lazy shits and nobody checks anything.
Right, carry on.
A lot of these are actually good examples of the difference between a hobbiest or a professional. If she just held it correctly and you told me there was a bit of solder somewhere we can’t see, I could very easily believe this was a real photo of a hobbyist.
Most of what you listed are luxuries and conveniences. The one exception is the fume hood, which is a safety concern, but I would say that’s overkill for any hobbyist and maybe even a lot of professionals. A small fan and a reasonably vented/sized room is fine. Heck, I only bother grabbing my fan if I know i’m going to be doing more than ~15 minutes of soldering.
I would say that’s overkill for any hobbyist
yeah, i just do it in the garage with the door open (only better ventilation in the house is out back by the grill) and use lead-free solder. a third hand and a sponge are enough and my hand will never be steady enough to work with a magnifying lens
I have a $15 USB powered soldering iron and it scares me a bit every time I use it. Nothing should be able to get that hot off of a 5V USBA plug.
This was made by incompetent people for incompetent people. And to be fair, I usually don’t have a fume hod or a third hand either. I usuly worn close to an open window on the rare occasions I solder something. I 100% agree wit the rest though.
What’s that massive heatsink for?
Computing.
Southbridge? Apparently, some chipset(s) from the late noughties had problems with it overheating. Only other thing I can think of is onboard graphics, but I think that’s unlikely.
That is the Northbridge. The smaller black heatsink further to the left corner closest to the photographer is the Southbridge.
You got it right the first time, except I think that’s the northbridge. Been a long time, can’t remember.
Are you enjoying your hobbies a little too much? Turn it into a job! Then you’ll never enjoy it again!
It was fkin one of ya, Disgusting!
just shove the end into one of those big black pill looking ones.
