OK please consider I'm 73 and dislike any computer smaller then an HP netbook, and that includes my never to be damned enough Moto e6 'smart phone.'
?
The specs mention a CPU, so does this iron have an "OS"?
?
Can you simply connect it to an appropriate power supply and start soldering?
?
Is it durable? I've been accused of being able to break and anvil as a child, while not quite as destructive, I'm not interested in anything as delicate as fine china (That's my wife's department. Though she will trust me to drink hot chocolate from a 17th century mug...on occasion.)
?
Can you solder something like a PL/SO 259 "UHF" connector?
?
I am really tempted, the price is reasonable, the power requirements practical and it avoids the risks inherent with an open flame.
?
Oh, can you crash the OS? I ask because my wife has killed everything from windup watches to laptops simply by touching or holding them.
?
And no I don't believe some people have odd magnetic fields or whatever because I can measure almost everything and tests show she is a normal person...who just kills even primitive tech. I often wondered how on earth she can drive a car with 5 CPUs, but it gave me a headache so I gave up wondering and wrote it off as one of those mysteries of life. After all, she does love and put up with me and has for 46 years.

I am dangerously attracted to this soldering iron, I'm going to bed so I won't place an order tonight.

Tomorrow is another day, unless of course the severe weather blows us to Oz. We are under severe thunderstorm warning, a tornado watch and probably "look out for meteors."

I've got the weather radio by the bed with a 2M HT just in case. It looks really nasty on weather radar 250 miles to our west.
