I see those discoid devices in various buildings and the wiring is in the ceiling. I'm sure they are fine for just the internet About a year after my system, they had something different with the AX vs the AC, but the other parts are altogether and I don't like some of them. Meanwhile, the...

Maybe they can run some city cold water like air conditioning in the summer. ;)

So I've learned that the orientation matters quite a bit. I don't understand the designs of the Wi-Fi, exepct maybe they are more for artistic or ergonomic than functional reasons. The Wi-Fi is much better when it is broadside to the receiving device. After relocating the Wi-Fi so that only...

The problem is that they are still not getting the point that many people don't want a silly recovery partition and just don't want the error message.

https://www.theregister.com/2024/05/03/microsoft_windows_recovery_environment/ TL;DR MS is not going to fix that bug. :(

I don't use my laptops wirelessly at home, not even my work laptop. I have USB adapters, either 1GbE or 2.5GbE, but my networks for the internet and NASes are strictly separate. The Fibros is 1Gb so it works fine on the cheaply 1GbE switches. Temporarily I've decided to run the RG6 and...

The torpology is ridiculous. The RG6 cable goes from ONT (splitter) into the Wi-Fi and main STB, and the RJ45 cable also goes from the ONT to the Wi-Fi. They do that on purpose so that you must rent it to get video to the RJ45, not to mention replays from the main STB and other stuff, even if...

From what I read the mesh stuff doesn't work well with my Fibros Wi-Fi router, which is necessary for video. So buying two Wi-FI systems would be excessive. I'm debating to just move the main Wi-Fi, but there are a lot of cables (AC, RJ45, and RG6) that would have to go across a doorway. I am...

Of course we are now totally off of the topic, but I meant like the Natural Gasses. Electric tankless is good for a sink or something.

Pretty much everything is becoming a service. Of course there are strong business reason for that regardless of the negative impact to individual users. Unless you can develop a better model, it will be difficult to sell the 20th century mentality in the 2020s.

I'm going to try to add a small Wi-Fi device specifically for the S9 FE galactic tablet. As I mentioned here the Fibros wi-fi is struggling through the walls and items. https://www.storageforum.net/forum/threads/which-tablets.9227/page-8#post-214824 I have 1GbE ethernet on several switches in...

Did you ever build a radiator into the door? I'm surprised they don't use tankless water heaters in Europe.

Who wants to listen to some kind of angry fool? There is no credibility.

As you know, power is a real limit for many home users in the states. You can't get 2kW from NEMA 5-15 and most 1500VA UPS are actually in the 1000W range on battery. I suppose there are some options for NEMA 5-20, but that usually requires rewiring and a permit. I'm not sure how often both a...

I suppose they will argue that there is enough competition that you d on't need to use MS if the T&C are not to your liking. Most of the CA suits are because a product does (or does not do) something in the T&C and that you were not informed about it.
