    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.

        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.
