Take the plunge! Start with one of the cheaper rework stations, that's what I did. It pays for itself after a while and it's really empowering to know you can fix these things. The basics of microsoldering are not that hard, they just need some practice to get repeatable results.

They’re just kids playing with toys. Guy at the back has the grey to know better…one hopes.

From visualizing AA batteries to spotting structural design flaws, industrial CT scans help us understand how we build, buy, fix & toss electronics. Now you can too—for free.

JoyCon and Pro controllers both use potentiometer sticks but they are very different in design. Pots are definitely more prone to drift than Hall or TMR but the low-profile JoyCon pots in particular seem to suffer from a serious design flaw. It’ll be interesting to see if the design changes and how

The reverse side of the RF board shows the rest of the chips needed for the modem to work: The PMIC and RF transceivers, both new Apple designs fabricated by TSMC. Together, these three IC's for the C1 subsystem.

The C1 modem die, designed by Apple and fabricated by TSMC, is packaged together with a DRAM die made by SK Hynix.

We both do at that 😂

The MVP of every platform. You don’t need RTX to enjoy that one.

Highly unlikely. I think we would have heard about that from supply chain sources if they had. Silicon carbide batteries also increase energy density by a noticeable margin. We’re not seeing that here.
