    W4D1 - FB does have its positives

    I have a love-hate with social media. On the one hand it enables me to keep up with family and friends around the planet, provides work opportunities from time to time, free advertising (I've recently been both personally and business page tagged on FB by a mainstream global provider and my...

    Torque Multiplier

    Oooh. I need to torque a set of propshaft bolts back on my range rover to 650NM and I'd been wondering how to do that.... seems now I know! (Because a standard long handle torque wrench won't physically fit and do the angles).

    It's Fridayyy...

    So on Fridays we have this little tradition - I think I might have shared it on here before. Neither of us could tell you when or why it started, but Friday 6pm UK time or thereabouts we do a glass of fizz, nothing extravagant (Tesco prosecco is standard!), and find something good about the...

    Attic light off fire alarm?

    The core tech was never Google. The core technology was Nest, and it’s sound. They got bought up by Google looking for a way in to the home tech market.

    Maximum demand exceeding main fuse.

    Can’t say that I necessarily agree with you on this one in terms of logic… we all know that cartridge and rewireable style fuses (of all the various BS standards) are capable of withstanding significantly higher overload currents than the cables commonly attached to them for hours on end, yet...

    Maximum demand exceeding main fuse.

    A) You’ll be fine B) You don’t work out diversity that way - refer to the OSG C) I’d be looking to upgrade the tails and check the Earthing and Bonding conductor sizes

    Attic light off fire alarm?

    They're multi-sensor by default. When you tell one that it's in a kitchen it will use a different algorithm than if you tell it it's in a lounge or a garage. They also have CO detection built-in by default, too. There's a lot of myths about them simply because a lot of people don't actually...

    Attic light off fire alarm?

    They don't use wifi as the interconnect, they use an RF network of their own (think it's bluetooth based with extra beans) and as they have internal battery backup then power can drop and they still work. They use wifi to talk to the outside world, yes, but not as part of the safety system.

    Hi and happy Labor Day

    The largest one is actually a long time ago now, over ten years. Was something like 8 stats, 2 system boilers, couple of air-cons and a dozen-ish of the smoke alarms also acting as occupancy detection for the heating zones. I had to make a custom control panel for it all.

    Hi and happy Labor Day

    I've just done a spell working all over the place (mostly east and west coast but lots of tumbleweed in the middle..) and was pleasantly surprised by the number of Nest thermostats I spotted all over the place.

    2024 Road Tax pay per mile

    Not that I've ever come across as it would be virtually impossible to police anywhere else, too. I've actually sorn'd two vehicles this year, even for just a month or so at a time if I've been away (the online system makes it so easy), bullocks if I'm giving this or any other goverment a penny...

    W3D2 yum yum

    Two months in the States and I'm all nacho'd out! Although winding up Americans about going hunting for Haggis is always a great game.

    Good Morning Thread - Come say good morning, tell us what you've got on today. :)

    Thanks for this. All the AP's on POE or are there 'mains and mesh' options?

    Should the armour of an SWA carrying twin and earth cables also be earthed (with banjos etc)

    I assume said contractor is part of a Part P scheme (NICEIC, Napit, few others..) in which case complain to them. They'll investigate (in theory) and have the 'power' to insist the contractor makes good at their own cost. Nine years puts you out of scope for small claims (not that I'd bother...

    Good Morning Thread - Come say good morning, tell us what you've got on today. :)

    Presumably though you have to turn off DHCP server within the sky box? And thus assign a static IP to the dream machine first? How many simultaneous ranges can the DM provide under the same subnet? Using a class A I'd been looking for all three of 192.168, 10.x and 2.x's ps - it won't ever...

    Should the armour of an SWA carrying twin and earth cables also be earthed (with banjos etc)

    This is where I just get fecked off by the current testing regime. ‘Could do’ can be applied to anything. My chainsaw ‘could’ fall off its hanging peg in the garage and bash through the 6 way ABS board underneath it. The pipe under my floorboards ‘could’ burst and cause water to rain down...

    Good Morning Thread - Come say good morning, tell us what you've got on today. :)

    Ha! I was looking at exactly that same Ubiquity combination earlier and emailed a local distributor for further advice. However, does the Sky box still not want to act as DHCP server and be a bottleneck?

    2024 Road Tax pay per mile

    That's also probably unworkable as any veh's that go into Europe could feasibly do thousands of miles without being due any tax. If they plan on doing it by NPR then we'll be in the sweet as by the time they get around to installing cameras for every country lane around here I'll be dead. I'm...

    Should the armour of an SWA carrying twin and earth cables also be earthed (with banjos etc)

    It does need earthing, yes. Although I'm not sure that justifies a C2 as it looks like a cpc has been maintained going on downstream.
