minus-squareBearOfaTime@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·1 year agoThose look pretty cool. But I’m confused about the marketing around the cpu/ram, etc. Does that really matter for a soldering iron? (Serious question, not being snarky). I get they’re using that tech to make it adjustible/smart, but it’s a soldering iron, not a pocket computer. Is there some way those specs genuinely matter? Or is it just to say “we’re using the latest tech to provide controls”?
