@ChrisMayLA6 indeed and I bet it will be a bunch of pension funds, etc again.

@ChrisMayLA6 I might be bein overly skeptical, but I think one of the drivers behind the AI companies IPOing and pushing for index funds to reduce their rules, is to allow initial investors to cash out and push the risk onto a much wider audience.

I feel the inevitable crash is going to be much bigger and wider felt, and as usual ordinary people getting caught in the crossfire, again.

@Floppy ah, that'll likely struggle with anything with a large ground plane.

I'm still using my 21 year old xytronics solder station, being a 100W makes a huge difference on some boards. The Hako solder stations seem a reasonable price and get rave reviews all the time.

For portability I got a TS101 USB PD iron, that is surprisingly capable, easily matches a 50W+ traditional iron, thanks to the heating cartridge being right on the tip. Being able to power it from a power bank is very handy.

@Floppy what are you currently using?
