13:25.05eintopfthey told the most are in african
13:25.18eintopfand it's difficult to get them because war
13:25.25eintopfanother question
13:25.44eintopfwhat are the benefits exactly smd led and a normal led
13:25.55eintopfexcept the form factor
13:26.16whitequarkeintopf: there's the congo minerals
13:26.36whitequarkbut congo doesn't contain *most* tantalum, neither it even supplies the majority of it used today
13:26.54whitequarktypical telly fud
13:27.05whitequarkand there's no difference except the form factor
13:27.21eintopfhttp://uclu.org/sites/uclu.org/files/cfci_image_1_copy.jpg
13:27.22eintopfahh
13:28.46eintopfyea, but mean "bloody hands" in this case because the situation
13:29.00eintopfhow to get the resource, child work, not safety
13:29.44eintopfnow I never wants to buy a new smartphone
13:30.06eintopfand the google guy already laughed about me because I have currently an old nexus 4
13:30.09eintopf...
13:30.14eintopfwith half broken display
13:30.18whitequarkthat picture is bullshit
13:30.43whitequarkjust like anything else with extraordinary claims and no sources
13:31.36eintopfhttp://ddc.arte.tv/folge/mobiltelefonie-2-2-die-dunklen-seiten
13:31.41eintopfI saw this documentation
13:31.46eintopfbut it's in german
13:32.03eintopfthey told the same, it's like blood diamonds but they name it blood minerals
13:32.06whitequarkI don't know german unfortunately
13:32.08eintopf:(
13:32.30whitequarkyes, blood minerals, conflict minerals, etc, are a problem that exists
13:32.41whitequarkDRC coltan is the major manifestation
13:33.09whitequarkhowever, there are regulations in place in EU and US that require tracking the supply chain of coltan, likewise with diamonds
13:33.18eintopfI see
13:33.22whitequarkso saying that iphones rely on conflict tantalum is incorrect
13:33.31eintopfahh
13:33.32eintopfokay
13:33.34whitequarkwhat *is* correct is that iphones are assembled on a foxconn factory with ~400 suicides per year
13:34.10eintopfok
13:34.30whitequarkwell, probably lower now, since there was an outrage over this, but I doubt the conditions there improved all that much
13:35.23eintopfok.
13:36.06eintopfand another question about wire, I have some of these magnetic wire
13:36.19whitequarkyou mean varnish-covered magnet wire?
13:36.29eintopfI need to google it, wait
13:36.39eintopfyes
13:36.57eintopfit looks exactly like that, when I solder at the line the isolation will be gone
13:37.29whitequarkI recommend clearing the varnish before soldering, it can interfere with forming of the joint
13:37.30eintopfbut I think it has a different name
13:37.58whitequarkburn it off with cigarette lighter. sandpaper also works in a pinch, but much slower
13:38.25whitequarkit's also called "transformer wire"
13:38.27eintopfcan I use that wire also when it lays inside a electric cicruit?
13:38.34whitequark"inside"?
13:38.44eintopfon some board components, etc
13:38.50whitequarkyes
13:38.58whitequarkkeep in mind that sharply bending it will flake off the varnish
13:39.09eintopfah, not bending it. Ok
13:39.12whitequarkfor a thin hookup wire, I recommend PTFE-coated wire
13:39.19whitequarkmultistrand
13:39.30eintopfand these are so small, I could use them directly @ smd led
13:41.17eintopfor should I use "kynar wire"
13:41.18eintopfmhh
13:41.40eintopfbecause all people use kynar wire
13:42.13whitequarkkynar is another fluorinated polymer
13:42.24whitequarkshould be at least as good as PTFE
13:42.28whitequarkso go ahead
13:43.06whitequarkpvdf (kynar) to ptfe is what pvc is to pe
13:44.29eintopfok.
13:45.55whitequarkgenerally... all fluorinated polymers offer excellent physical and chemical resistance
13:46.11whitequarkas long as cost allows i always prefer them
13:59.41rohis pvdf also self-lubricating?
14:00.07rohlike ptfe and pom :)
14:15.07*** join/#qi-hardware sb0 (~lekernel@123202036228.ctinets.com)
14:30.05whitequarkno idea here
14:31.45whitequarklooks like not
15:36.59DocScrutinizer05((foxconn factory with ~400 suicides per year)) they mounted nets so jumping out the window doesn't work anymore for suicide
15:37.33DocScrutinizer05dunno if they also did anything else to actually improve the situation, prolly not
15:57.00whitequarkI think they made some minor concessions
15:57.15whitequarkbut that doesn't really change anything
15:57.48whitequarkDocScrutinizer05: btw, import feature almost ready to ship...
15:57.53whitequarkin solvespace
