      Yes. I agree, and the upside is, we don't fall into the trap of feeding the tech giants just like they want us too. Fix what you have before surrendering and handing over your hard earned money. Big tech don't really care about their customers. All they want is your money. Pure and Simple.

    This was the replacement pads that REWA was selling. I suggested few videos back. You have to use solder mask for keeping them stuck in the place to the board. It would be the better than factory experience. 👍
