today while fixing some MNT Reform Camera PCBs that didn't pass QA i encountered something i hadn't before: the via you can see in the middle of the photos has a drill hole which is offset to the north. this faulty via then connects two traces in the inner layers of the board, shorting them.

the same picture but with more magnification/zoom.

i was upset today because a tech journalist on fedi called MNT Reform's battery runtime "awful" (only almost 5 hours of playing a video fullscreen on youtube). not only because of the mean choice of words but because the runtime is the consequence of a conscious choice: LiFePO4 cells over LiIon. with LiIon we could almost double the runtime, but they are more dangerous (thermal runaway), worse for the environment (cobalt) and don't last as long (less charging cycles).

this apple vision pro teardown video by ifixit is fascinating and to me (very personal opinion) shows a nauseating amount of overengineering. i do not believe that computers should be this complicated https://youtu.be/JVJPAYwY8Us?si=0ZhPEQ7mbfPHDEkW
