I'm trying to solder new joysticks for my Dualsense controller. Sony apparently uses non leaded solder so that's what I got too. Some people said that a 30W soldering iron is fine for that so that's what I got. Weller 30W LED one.

I couldn't even desolder the pins :( The split second I got the iron off and used my pliers, it went back to solid. I even managed to get my soldering wick stuck to the motherboard and took like 3 minutes with a lot of flux to get it back off. It also took me like 10 seconds on the pins just to melt it. The soldering wire also took 3 seconds to melt when directly on the iron.

So, does this mean that 30W is not enough after all? Or do I just suck at it (probably plays a part at least)?

I really want to upgrade to a Bambu P1S (I have an Ender 3 V3 SE and it drives me insane lol). Bambu seems like the best choice for me, but.. the lack of open-source or any transparency combined with their numerous lawsuits around privacy concerns is not a great combo.

Personally, I don't care even if they're spying on me or whatever. But if the company was to go down for something like this.. what would happen to the printers that no longer receive support?

Even the P1S is quite pricy so I really don't wanna risk it too bad. So does anyone who's more tech literate have a guess on what's the worst that could happen if Bambu was to go down?

Obviously there's magic and all that. But I love how realistic the characters themselves are! Gabby got shot twice and in basically other shonen, she would've kept fighting with no issues because "badass do badass thing". Here, everyone else is just like "girl chill the hell out, you got SHOT.. **TWICE**, that's serious!!"

And Yuru and his daemons being in the modern world. I was expecting it to be one of those lazy one episode tropes where the character is confused for one episode and suddenly there's like a one month time skip and then the character is all up to date with modern technology.

The one weird hole in the writing is how shocked the Kagemoris are for Yuru using a machete, with the whole "kids today are scary" joke. While Gabby basically executed and tore apart over ten villagers and that was no biggie.

But overall, love the story. Feels like a breath of fresh air for once
