Valve To Steam Deck Owners: Stop Huffing Its Vent Fumes
The company behind Portal, Half-Life, and Steam isn’t amused by all the vent smellin’
You're viewing a single thread.
Is it possible it could be producing ozone and that it is reacting with the plastic? Ozone is not good to smell.
Electronics release all sorts of non-cool chemicals... plastic related, and flame retardants.
flame removedants
That’s actually really funny.
This is not a helpful feature.
But where were the ants removed to?
That's Lemmy.ml for you. Could swap to an instance like .world that doesn't use the profanity removal feature.
What a removeded feature.
Solder and flux, too.
Does solder actually emit fumes below melting point? I did not know about that.
depends on the solder, honestly. I doubt it would be an issue with consumer/mass produced electronics, but there's a possibility. But if you're doing your own with rosin-core solder (which is most solders,) the rosin/flux can. (you can remove it with stuff meant to remove it. which you should do because flux is freaking nasty.)
Oh, interesting. I did not know about that. Thanks for the info. I will be looking into some cleaning stuff for my personal soldering projects.
Probably not, that would require fairly high voltages. It's probably plastics off-gassing.
I will be using that word now what my body needs to gas off.
