<p>It made the connector routing so much easier. Otherwise I'd have to swizzle lanes in all kinds of awkward ways with lots of mid-span vias and criscrossing. It's much cleaner this way.</p>
<p>Don't mind me, just over here escape-routing this BGA inside out</p>
@whitequark@mastodon.social @ireneista@irenes.space @eri@mk.moth.zone Plenty of lateral forces on my monitor since I regularly rotate it. the cable does pop out sometimes but it's not so bad as to be unusable

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> better deal than meal delivery</p>
@whitequark@mastodon.social @ireneista@irenes.space @eri@mk.moth.zone well yeah nothing of mine is battery powered using mini usb thankfully
