I just noticed this is how they heatsinked that raspberry pi I yanked the SD card out of.

@Viss @foone per earlier post, tracks trucks

Riley S. Faelan replied to Ian

@ian It's a cheap truck-tracking trick.

@foone@digipres.club i love that the left heatsink is also not the appropriate size at all

@foone was it vertically mounted? I wonder if the adhesive started to fail and it tipped over
Either way, it’s *disgusting* how they treated their product and customers.

@foone well, I don't want to say it, but, if I read your posts, I might come to the conclusion that this device was not carefully designed nor built at all!

Marcus Müller replied to Marcus

@foone You mean just it's a shoddy IoT product?
You really think someone would do that?
Go ahead and just built an IoT product with no forethought, diligence or afterthought at all?

@foone the fact that it's stayed on is by itself kind of impressive

@foone Secretly terrified this is a former employer's handiwork

RyanSquared replied to Jordan

@jordan @foone this thread is also making me wonder if this was my former employer.

@foone The heatsink is tilted like that to ensure that the caloric fluid runs off properly.

@foone I'd also be slightly surprised if the heat sink on the EMI shield was required ...

@foone this level of both software & hardware gore is bordering on needing a CW

@foone From that angle it almost looks like it's actually a Li-Ion Laptop battery bulging rather than a heatsinked chip.

@foone the heatsink on the WiFi module shield is a nice touch
