We ship a $50k instrument product running Windows, and everyone hates it.

As the only EE on staff, I got to spend a portion of covid soldering TPM chips to motherboards. Fun times.

Wow, that sounds painful. Not so much because it’s technically difficult, but ridiculous that you have to do that.

[–] ch00f 4 points 5 months ago

Yeah, they were tssop, so not hard. It was only necessary because the parts shortage crunch had the vendor shipping them without the chips installed.
