The iFixit tip looks rather small. It's usually people's misconception that small is good. You want big tip because that contains heat energy a lot more. The moment you push it against big component it gets too cold if the tip is small. That requires you now keeping the iron at position for long time, potentially burning the component. The heat spreads to the board and that is not what you want. You want the heat to be 100% going for the joint. If you have ever wondered why it takes for ages to get the solder flow, that is the reason. Also this sharp pointy end is not great for heat transfer, you want big end so that a lot of heat can rush from the tip to the contact point. Size matters, it's less about how you use it. The price is good tho. Just not sure if it's there for any real work, could be, I haven't tried it.
I am always down for that QR background color. Lmao don't get the Boeing one! I am downloading Floorp now ! I am digging the name. Wonderful episode as always Venn and Jill.
Oh, Floorp is not a fox-clone (a mozillium?) I've ever seen on any of the usual lists, gotta try it out! If it plays nice with uMatrix and uBO, it's in.

Have to love the Barney screen of death.
Thanks Sandman! ❤🎉🐧
