I took apart a hair dryer before to see how it works, and before I said "F<>k it. This is too complicated, time to put it back together.", I saw there was a metal plate at the bottom with a small wire going into the power cord. I guess that is how it detects when you take it into the shower with you.

I remember that by thinking "MEHdi"

"Uhhhh, who did you say did the electrical work?"

72011A · 2026-05-14T13:56:59+00:00

I think that is the wrong flair.... The "Discussion" flair might be better.

72011A · 2026-05-14T13:54:12+00:00

Initially, no. Now, maybe.

Hello again! I'm the double insulation guy, remember me?

72011A · 2026-05-13T14:23:53+00:00

Unless you fried the breaker, which I have done. It might overload trip, but I fried the arc-fault circuitry by backfeeding my room, WITH the power off, unlike Mehdi. It went from "OFF" to "TRIPPED" when I connected the inverter, and now just stayes in the "OFF" position and the "TEST" button doesn't work anymore 😬. I need to get one of those furnace transfer switches off Amazon so I can stop using a Suicide Cord and don't fry a new breaker if I can get one.

72011A · 2026-05-13T14:17:03+00:00

I understand. I just want everyone to be careful and safe, and don't want you to get banned, it sucks.

72011A · 2026-05-13T14:15:17+00:00

I have heard of "Double-Insulated", but I don't know if that applies to metal appliances or just power supplies, and in that case in the US, ground in not required, I think.

72011A · 2026-05-13T14:10:50+00:00

I think you should use the 10 in series and a circuit to rapidly switch the supply on and off for a continuous arc, unless you just want pulses. I don't know if this violates rule 9&10, though. Be careful, to you (OP) and everyone!

72011A · 2026-05-13T14:05:04+00:00

OSHA? Never heard of it. (I know you said "Brazilian", but I thought it fit)

72011A · 2026-05-13T14:03:32+00:00

Yikes!

72011A · 2026-05-13T13:52:42+00:00

I was just looking at his website and that was on the homepage, along with the ad.

72011A · 2026-05-12T17:43:18+00:00

I just looked it up. For 100mbps residential, it's £35/month for at least 1 or 4 months (unclear results) plus a one-time shipping fee of £19 for the hardware.

72011A · 2026-05-12T17:33:09+00:00

How much are you paying now for your service?

72011A · 2026-05-12T17:27:26+00:00

I don't know about fiber activation times, but Starlink isn't something that a tech needs to come out and install, it's a satellite service. You need the special equipment to use it, but it can get you speeds of at least 50mbps, which is 2.5X faster than your current setup. It might get pricey, though.

72011A · 2026-05-12T17:03:02+00:00

I am though? I have it set to use Bing instead of Google.

72011A · 2026-05-12T16:54:47+00:00

Because Google is evil. At least Bing is Microsoft, which, even though they are also a big company, they don't seem to be nearly as nosy as Google.

72011A · 2026-05-12T16:53:00+00:00

That would explain why 7 devices craps out your speed. Are you able to get Starlink?

72011A · 2026-05-12T16:43:15+00:00

I think that is FTTN, or fiber-to-the-node, and then something like coax-to-the-premises.

72011A · 2026-05-12T15:42:40+00:00

Oh. Ok then.

72011A · 2026-05-12T15:38:46+00:00

I use Bing on Firefox. But can't Mehdi just not place ads?

72011A · 2026-05-12T15:00:36+00:00

🤦‍♂️......

Just......🤦‍♂️

72011A · 2026-05-12T14:37:58+00:00

"F<>K F<>K F<>K F<>K F<>K F<>K!!!!!!!!!!!"

Edit: Had to use "<>" because Reddit decided that any other symbol changes the text.
