HabrBGA и RoHS – Дуумвират из Ада
Знаете это чувство, когда теряешь паспорт, в который вложены карточки и пропуска? Когда уволили, а жена сбежала, прихватив сбережения? Забудьте – вы ничего не знаете о боли, если не паяли BGA на бессвинце.

@anthropy granted, catalytic converters too have platinum, and the cost factor is less a matter if materials but economies of scale.

@k4m1 @stman yeah, according to the #RTL8139 #datasheet this is basically a very cheap 10/100M NIC designed #embedded systems and low-end/low-cost desktops, and for a device designed and sold in 2006 it made sense, given back then #Gigabit-#Ethernet and Cat.5 cabling was considered high-end.
- And unlike contemporary / successor chips by #Intel like the famous #i210 (which is still offered as #i219 but mostly succeeded by the #i225 as a 2,5GBase-T version) is way cheaper, which pre-#RoHS - NICs being sold for like € 10 retail & brand-new....
The few issues known only affect like #Virtualization setups, a market this thing was never designed for (most likely also never tested against).
- I'd not he surprised if a lot of cheap #ThinClients and other systems used these NICs because of the simplicity of integration, being a cheap 3,3V single-chip (+auxilliary electronics) solution and propably costling less than 10¢ on a reel of 10.000.
It's the reason why to this day we see #Realtek NICs being shipped instead of fanning-out & enabling #SoC-integrated NICs with a #MAC & #PHY instead: Because the auxilliary parts for those are more expensive than just getting a PCI(e lane) somewhere and plonking it down.
- Maybe there have even been some really cheap, low-end #Routers / #Firewalls aiming at #SoHo customers back in those days, cuz back then 16MBit/s #ADSL2 was considered fast, and Realtek's NICs up until recently only delivered like 60-75% of the max. speed advertised, so by the time someone would notice, that gearvwould've been EoL'd anyway and those who did notice right-away never were the target audience to begin with.
Most modern NICs are more complex and demand more configuration / driver support...

Ray N. Franklin 🇺🇸@Oculuris The long-term answer is a national law like California's "extended product responsibility laws." That state law was based on RoHS and WEEE directives in the European Union implemented in 2004. It would be a relatively minor change for CA to cover all vaping products with their existing laws. Enacting RoHS/WEEE law for the entire US will be difficult.
