Dont worry they are just fixing the mainframe so the core is more stable
What is up with these tech photographers and soldering irons?
all electronics involves soldering, still, duh!
Even programming, gah!
Especially programming.
We all know programming is just htop and sometimes tree.
And soldering
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…
Add more cores with this simple trick.
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?
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!
You’re supposed to apply thermal paste to the soldering iron too, to increase it’s thermalness!
Back in my day we used to unlock clock multipliers by shorting the right pins.
This image causes me physical pain, please delete it
He’s soldering his microscopic hacking tools to the pins. It’s a Chinese technique.
