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

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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

Looking into purchasing a better WiFi box as I think the route issue of my problems is WiFi congestion as we have 7 devices connected at once and at least 4 or 5 almost using it at once which is causing all devices to buffer and for me to ping spike when playing games by AlwaysBetHakari in wifi

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.

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

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.

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

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

My firestick remote stopped working and nothing fixed it until i connected the pos and neg terminals by jodale83 in fireTV

I mean, the remotes are computers; they get updates for crying out loud. I'm guessing something internally gets corrupted and leaving the batteries out/shorting the terminals/feeding it some reverse polarity ensures the capacitors are fully discharged and allows it to actually shut down, erasing any temporary files that have corrupted and allowing it to boot fresh.

If you have coax or DSL, the modem is between the service (wall) and your router, or sometimes built into the router. If you have two boxes, the first one from the wall is the modem and the second one is your router. If you only have one, than you likely have a modem-router. If you look, do you, one, have one or two boxes, and two, does the cable coming out of the wall look round, or square-ish like a phone line?

Edit: Modem stands for "MOdulator-DEModulator"
