If you truly understand a subject you like helping newbs, not insulting them. It is people who know just enough to sound like they do but are desperate to look like experts who are the biggest pricks.

That risk is true of all boards that don’t use low or lead free solder. The whole comment is very hypothetical.

The problem appears to be connected to your bank account and can only be fixed if you buy some apple gift cards…
