Images aren't like that for artistic effect, but for lower energy consumption.

Ok, I didn't read that. But I still think it's _not_ a good idea to do that for a topic where personal safety is at stake. And besides, the quality is really too low anyway. I can barely recognize the thermocouples in those images.


How can I take your comment seriously if you didn't read the article? It looks like someone didn't actually make an effort to understand the context of the images.


At the bottom of the page:

Battery status 63%, not charging Power used 2.69W Uptime 5 weeks, 11 hours, 36 minutes

Traffic from HN may be a problem today...


>Uptime 5 weeks, 1 day, 3 hours, 46 minutes

Seems to have had no issue whatsoever! Even through the whole night period. Shows the depth of inefficiency of our 'advanced' systems.


> Battery status 44%

down from 63% yesterday but yeah, really good!


I'm a ADS200 fan, too. Bought one recently after way too many years of using a 30W Weller. Having a big choice of tips is nice. As a bonus, it's made in the US. I've been able to tackle projects that I'd never have even thought of trying with the old soldering iron.
