- I've unintentionally set up a race between DHL and UPS They both have their warehouses right next to each other, both orders had their import taxes paid at the same time yesterday. Any bets on who will deliver first?

View full threadAnd due to attorney client confidentiality etc only the person whose name is on the package is allowed to open it. And they just so happen to be on vacation until June 🥲🙃
- UPS delivered first but got DQ’ed for wrong delivery address. I guess that means DHL won by default

- Good news and bad news: it’s delivered to a law firm, I called them and they did in fact receive it and will hold onto it. BUT - UPS for whatever reason covered the label with a new one which has one of their partners name on it

- I'm in almost-Germany 😂 so an even playing field maybe
- I definitely jinxed it... UPS delivered to the wrong address 1.3km away 🤬 fml

- Bon voyage! Looking forward to meeting in person :)
- Really excited to share this one - I arranged the PCB factory tour in China because I ordered the first production batch of Soleil boards there. This clip shows me unboxing the boards in the shipping room of the factory. They turned out absolutely great, really impressed with the quality
- Reminder: Soleil is an open-source HAT for Raspberry Pi which adds low-power capability. Power from a battery, re-charge with USB-C or solar, low-power sleep mode. ATECC608A for connection with NervesHub. I'll be bringing some boards to ElixirConf this week if anyone wants to see them in person!
- Here's a higher-quality still frame of the board up close. Seriously, the matte solder mask looks great and this might be the sharpest silkscreen I've seen on a PCB 😍
