Jason KoeblerScoop: I obtained the contract Samsung requires independent shops to sign to buy phone repair parts from them.

Chris HansonJason Scott is stirring up some drama on the eve of #VCFEast because he donated some stuff to #VCF but doesn’t actually understand how “donation” and “archiving” work. He’s also taking at face value that someone was “driven out” of the organization when they actually ragequit rather than work within proper governance.

Kate Temkinthings you expect to burn yourself on when soldering and doing rework:
- the iron
