i don't know if you're unwilling to admit that microsoft made a terrible design flaw or if you just want to stick it to environmentalism and lead-free stuff. i thought the lead debate was over like in like the 70's.

of course if you re-apply the lead in that area it will seem to "fix" it. but it's like if a crack in a building appears in one specific location and you fill in the crack and conclude "oh i guess these particular bricks/cinder blocks were the problem" when clearly the foundation is crooked beneath it.

they did make a terrible design flaw, they used unleaded solder in a desing originally calling for leaded solder, and then didnt make sure it was being heated and applied properly.

it fixes it because its the fault, a properly reballed pre-hdmi 360 will not be anywhere near as susceptible to an rrod as a stock one. i havnt had a single one come back with an rrod after being fix.ed

Joe 30330: Dec 20, 2007; "We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

the ltsb build of windows 10 is interesting

- will never have new features added to it; it gets updates for 10 years but only security/hotfix-style ones
- in light of the above, since edge will normally get updated regularly, they removed it completely from the ltsb version; you only have ie11 as a browser

it's because they're going to keep updating edge but not ie11. since the goal of the image is consistency they had to take out edge, basically

the mistake is thinking "not updating your browser" is desirable
