La prise USB-C de mon #ARDUINO @arduino UNO R4 WiFi s’est dessoudée net.
4 pattes mécaniques sorties propres → ça sent le défaut de soudure…

👉 Carte achetée sur store officiel (Amazon, juin 2025)

Planned Obsolescence or Happy Accidents?

After I've now had the second device with some design flaw that causes it to fail just slightly outside of the warranty period, I wanted to write down my experiences.

First time for me to use `git annex dead` because a drive is *actually* dead... 😔
