Is there any info online for Raspberry Pi Zero short between 3.3 V and ground? No, but we’re seeing similar reports for Raspberry Pi 3, the custom PMIC for it fails to have sufficient robustness in this respect. This unfortunately happened to me due to a soldering error on a Raspberry Pi Zero, that board is now toast.

Wow, Raspberry Pi 4 Compute Module? Now that is really interesting! It allows you to get PCIe onto your own connector! Although, you can hack a Raspberry Pi 4 to get the PCIe connector by forfeiting USB 3.

Wow, these are some interesting Hackaday articles. Hand-soldering a BGA package using tombstone resistors, another way hand-soldering directly to the solder balls, and an old PDP-11 on a chip! How did the PDP-11 make its way to chips? It was one of the last failed products that came out of DEC in attempts to gain a modern market presence, that’s how.
