Well that was annoying. Bought new solder the other day, as mine wasn't really working. Not flux core or something? And didn't have any flux
<

Anyway, new solder came. I got it a little thicker than the last and my iron doesn't want to melt it unless I leave it on (too long)

is it true that Ta, which is required for tantal capacitors isn't available (as resource) in 2020 anymore?

I saw that in tv, was about smartphones producing

eintopf: no, it's not true
<
whitequark>
we have at least 110000 t of economically extractable Ta
<

the yearly consumption is about 1000 t

(excluding recycled)

wonders how hard it can be to get some decent solder wire
<
DocScrutinizer05>
and the thinner the better usually
<
DocScrutinizer05>
and I can't think of solder wire so think that a standard soldering iron
_cannot_melt_it_

whitequark: maybe eintopf refers to the coltan political issues?
<

no, most of the reserves are in Brazil
