    USB-C soldering irons...

    I use a TS-80P and it's fantastic. Actually I have 2. When using a USB-C AC adapter that provides 12 volts the thing heats up in 15 seconds if not faster.

    Software update issues - Guitar hero

    What video card are you using ? 1.56 was the last version they released and I would think all the cards would be included in the most recent version.
