   damn, i just realized all the motherboard schematics in the pocket reform handbook are subtly wrong, because i split the schematic in kicad into schematics for the individual subsystems by cutting and pasting. kicad quietly renamed most of the designators ooooooooooooof.

   i printed a first run of 100 books that's supposed to be finished today. throwing them away and reprinting would delay the hyper shipments, and waste money and resources. :(

     @mntmn i got bit by this once, i think you're supposed to notice that the BOM is twice as long as it should be. but what if you don't!

     @mntmn how many wrong schematics are there? Can’t you print the schematics separately and add a card telling the buyer they have an exclusive and limited edition handbook? 😀

     @iamreinder yeah, we will reprint the schematics here and put them in as an erratum

     @mntmn aw hell, that's a terrible feeling, I'm sorry. ):

     Way to decide quickly on a good path forward though. Nice recovery.
