I've been messing around with circuits my entire life but this design was time sensitive and I've never done my own PCB designs before, so I hired someone to put this together. After getting some test boards, when I plug them in the charger chip gets very hot and smells like burning....
Circuit is just a simple li-ion usb charger and a switch. I've gone through the datasheet for the bq25302 more times than I can count and I'm missing something obvious here. Using it just for delivering power seems to work fine, the problem is only when charging.
I do see R6 + R7 off TS don't have the recommended 10k values, but I don't feel like that would cause what I'm seeing. This is being connected to a 21700 lipo.
Someone mind lending me their eyes please?

Recently I was asked if we'd be willing to reconsider federation with Hexbear, followed by CARCOSA reaching out to me to see if it was something we'd be open to.
They made a post asking if their community was interested in refederating with us, similarly I'd like the opinion of our local users.
Why refederate?
Hexbear has a decent number of sizable active communities:
These all seem fairly well moderated, giving us access to more diverse posts and viewpoints. A lot of our feed right now is dominated by US centric communities, and it'd be nice to get some more variety.
Why not?
They love trolling and I don't expect them to follow our rules when commenting (primarily "be civil").
Just looking at their thread about us, there's a significant number of immature replies slandering us / Canada. I'm not confident their users will engage in actual discussion in our threads, rather than just showing up to throw out insults and memes.
We can try to handle this by banning users / blocking specific communities, but that's going to increase moderation workload for both admins and mods. Hexbear is self admittedly quick to ban users on their side, but they also don't mind ban evasion - not ideal for us.
So what's next?
This is where we solicit your opinions, how does our community feel?
Edit: Well, it looks like the community is overwhelmingly against refederation. Decision made, thanks everyone for your feedback!

Sometimes I want to find a post I viewed a while ago. I can hide read posts, but is there any way to view read posts?
I can't find anything in any menus.
Hi everyone,
We'll be undergoing maintenance on Saturday morning from about 11am - noon PST.
We've been having some stability issues over the past few days that I've tracked down to database performance, so I'll be doing some tuning and also applying all our needed system updates at the same time.
Cheers!
Update: This is all done now!
