Assuming you don't live in a food desert.... Or have a baby that requires more milk than you can produce.... Or have a pet that requires a particular diet....

In my area it's around $3.20

Honestly, get the flux and a hot air station instead, imo. Then again, I prefer being able to have control over where the heat is going instead of reflowing everything at once

Might as well add some picos to scratch that itch. And the rabbit hole that micro controllers bring.... next thing you know, your work desk is also a solder station, a hot air station, PCB design, circuit design, and you've got two extra diy printers in various state of being built/rebuilt

I don't have a problem, you have a problem

When I get the finger point from vendors, the problem I have is: show me what part of the software is getting screwed up. What is it expecting that it's not getting. Is it a port/network issue? A server spec issue? Drivers? OS patch? Latency? Just saying "it's not us, it's something on your side that's the issue" is no better than kicking the can down the road for someone else to deal with.

Honestly not sure which is worse. Peafowl or guinea fowl

Sometimes it's less about the person that you're targeting and more about what that access gives you.

Low level accountant? Office worker with an excel file full of passwords or has correspondence with your actual target at a different company that you can pose as to gain access into?

They're just a step in the process.

Depends on how we approach viability, imo

Can we currently see a reason for it with its current abilities/functions? No

But

We can look right at the history of conventional computing to predict a possible timeline for it. Single purpose computational machines that took a lot of power, a lot of room, and were fairly rare. Used for military or research purposes. Multi purpose machines that could run user created calculations and were slightly smaller and efficient. Begins to be used in more academic settings Multipurpose machines capable of being used to aid general office staff, continue to become more compact and efficient Portability becomes possible for select few with a need And so on until we arrive to now where nearly everything and everyone has a computer

I'm more expecting innovations to reduce the need for the super cooling but same

While true, it doesn't mean we should stop. At worst, we find techniques that improve other areas of technology

Honestly the laws of physics are constantly in flux and there's no telling what we could create to circumvent the limits we're currently pushing.

As I mentioned in my example: before the innovations with transistors, there was no way to make a portable computer. It was physically impossible

And digital computers needed tube relays and entire buildings to work. With innovation and time, it'll become more easily handled
