You having regrets depends on your expectations. If you want a very stable system with little maintenance then you'll be happy. Packages will be older but that's what makes it easy to keep stable.

I'm not personally a fan of vanilla Debian because the stable versions are a bit too outdated for the things I like to work with. I do use Debian derivatives though the LTS versions.

Because the seals on the mask itself weren't rated and they didn't go through FDA authorization. You HAVE to go through FDA clearance if you want to claim your product meets medical standards.

I protest voted one year because I hated the candidates. That was the year Trump got elected. I'm never doing that again. Lina's well worth supporting in the next few elections, but the real options this year are already set. Everything else is equivalent to not voting at all.

I highly doubt someone who's struggling with a phone is going to do well with a screen projected on your hand that has very sensitive hand interaction requirements.

I thought it might be useful to move the iron back and forth a little for long rows. Wouldn't be perfectly even but would be better than concentrating heat in the center.

This trick might be more useful for people who are budget constrained. In the past I've resorted to cutting the plastic between the headers (making them unusable), so this is a nice alternative without the need for another tool. If budget wasn't an issue I'd likely buy a much nicer iron and an extra wide knife-style tip.

 

I just came across this and thought I'd share. I've struggled to get headers and IC's off boards after soldering them on backwards/upside down. This video shows a cool trick with a piece of copper wire that makes them very easy and quick to get off without expensive tooling. I was thoroughly impressed. Hope someone else finds this useful too.
