My highway transponder recently stopped working, two weeks past its warranty. I thought that it must have a battery... opened it, and the battery was soldered onto the circuit board. On YouTube, people showed how to desolder and resolder the battery, and where to buy batteries with the pins at the right spots.

The #soldering was a lot of fun and I inaugurated the fixed device last weekend with a trip to the beach in Ericeira.

I'd never heard of IOT traffic light vendor #QFree before today, but now know I know at least one thing about them: Their general counsel Steven D. Tibbets is a jerk who likes to issue threats and is also bad at his job https://www.redthreatsec.com/blog/greenlightspart1
