A directive introduced by European bureaucrats with very little science behind it, requiring all products to use lead-free solder. It also placed restrictions on some elements such as cadmium and mercury.

The most notable change was the ban of leaded solder though, and it resulted in longer production times for PCB fabrication, many more products failing and requiring BGA reballing (e.g Xbox 360)

Idiots hang onto it for "safety" but it has been shown that it doesn't cause health issues unless you scatter it everywhere. As for how "environmentally friendly" it is, it causes more products to get thrown away, the opposite of what it was trying to accomplish.

It can be reflowed or wave soldered pretty easily but is not practical at all for any hobbyist use.

It has a lot of downsides:
1.) More brittle solder joints
2.) Never desolders properly
3.) High heat damages components
4.) Grows tin whiskers more easily, although this is not really an issue in most things
5.) More flux required, which creates lots of fumes and can cause occupational asthma

ROHStyles23 

An extremely unintelligent and unattractive member of the YWC (youtube-wrestling-community). Standing at a diminutive 5'6 and weighing in at fast food restaurant closing 327lbs he is possibly the least physically appealing person in YWC if not in all of youtube.

Due to his large amounts of free time (ostensibly due to a lack of any kind of responsibility, social life or job) he makes consistent youtube videos praising the glory of ROH and other obscure wrestling promotions, most of which last well over 20 minutes.

Unsurprisingly he also happens to be a Ron Paul loving conspiracy theorist which could be a possible explanation as to why he seems to be so aloof to simple facts of his existence such as his ugliness, weight problem and lack of any kind of social life and 24 years of maintained virginity all while trying to save the world from the evils of global take over.

ROHStyles23 pretty much epitomizes all of wrestling fans.
I've started to order DVD's of small wrestling promotions online and sometimes recording a review or two for youtube but when I saw ROHStyles23 on youtube I decided to close my account and sell my DVD's. I sure as hell don't want to end up like that loser.
