@wohali Actually my biggest hurdle right now with some SMD is seeing the parts. Do you own a USB viewer or do you have the full stereo microscope?
The two big commercial social networks that must never be named are pissing me off.
Remember that story about polio survivors who need iron lungs being left out in the cold by the company responsible for the devices?
There's a good follow-up.
"Armed with scanners and 3D-printers, computer experts, hobbyists and hardware fiddlers are determined to fix the problem."
"Lillard and her cohort might be the last of the Iron Lungs, but they're unlikely to be the last getting vital healthcare support from the maker community."

@DC7IA Hi! de VA3DB
@stsp Entireley in agreement in the longer term. However, such a mechanism can rescue an install until the next release which includes the device is available.
@stsp A better long term solution is adding the ability of the driver to pick up a new device from a "quirk file". Of course keep the original hard coded list but add the ability to add new devices on the fly.

As a FreeBSD developer I agree to all. I'm more saddened that the people who could use this advice aren't following it.

@feld Well, the funniest part is I didn't notice that 'ponies' had been written on the board until I was told about it!
