NSFW meme: been re-learning about how flux adds most of the hazardous stuff in solder fumes, and FINALLY picked up a fume extractor~
I've been using lead-free for years (and always open windows, wash hands, etc.), but have avoided this 'cause I hate fan noise. Realized that my bone-conduction headphones + "noise cancelling" earplugs fix that! 🤩
BTW, here's a great blog post from @wizard about lead-free solder/flux safety: bhencke.com/blog/2019/3/15/a-h…
...And a super internet-nostalgia-heavy music video, also ft. Tay Zonday 😸 youtu.be/PQHPYelqr0E
A Hill to Die On - Why Lead Free Solder is Better For You
I spent the morning reading material Safety Data Sheets, because someone on the internet was wrong!Ben Hencke
The image features a meme with two distinct sections. The top section shows a woman with curly gray hair, wearing a red shirt, sitting at a table with a laptop in front of her. The text above her reads, "YOUR PARENTS IN 1996: DON'T TRUST ANYONE ON THE INTERNET." The bottom section continues with the same woman, still at the laptop, and the text reads, "YOUR PARENTS IN 2024: TRUMP IS JESUS," accompanied by a skull emoji. The meme humorously contrasts the cautionary advice given by parents in 1996 about the internet with a more extreme belief attributed to them in 2024.

Shootout erupts between Russian army units in Kherson region – Atesh

I just noticed the chassis of my Thinkpad T480 bulging near the screen. this is the rear battery after I removed it! now contained in a horse trough full of dirt outside the house!
I'm fortunate that this happened while I was actively using the laptop! and also that the laptop has 2 batteries, so even without this one it is not confined to being plugged in 100% of the time.
I believe this battery is from @iFixit - gifted to me by a friend - and is the second failed battery from that order! I thought iFixIt sourced good batteries but now I'm not so sure. unknown as of yet if the battery is still under warranty.
cc @matthew - if I can scrape together the money in coming weeks I want to get a T480 keyboard and maybe a battery from you, unless it's really more cost-effective to order direct (but from who?)
I can probably help or point you to some solutions.
Batteries are tough. Difficult to know whether you are getting a good one or not, no matter the supplier. I often try to get used, tested original batteries on ebay, but I sometimes get after-market batteries, too.
