Question from @jacobcoffin , who's building a reference base for #solarpunk writers (https://wiki.slrpnk.net/writing:start):
In terms of longevity & repairability, does it make sense to lean more on through-soldered boards (vs. SMT) for simpler machines/appliances, and where does that cut off practicality-wise?
* Edit: When designing *new* things!
[I apparently have tons of thoughts that boil down to "it depends"; would love more perspectives!]
