<azkay__> 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
<azkay__> 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)
<azkay__> ):

<eintopf> is it true that Ta, which is required for tantal capacitors isn't available (as resource) in 2020 anymore?
<eintopf> I saw that in tv, was about smartphones producing
<whitequark> eintopf: no, it's not true
<whitequark> we have at least 110000 t of economically extractable Ta
<whitequark> the yearly consumption is about 1000 t
<whitequark> (excluding recycled)

<eintopf> whitequark: but these tantal capacitors are also not good ones?

* DocScrutinizer05 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_
<DocScrutinizer05> whitequark: maybe eintopf refers to the coltan political issues?
<whitequark> oh
<whitequark> no, most of the reserves are in Brazil
