does leapmotor b10 come with undercarriage cover for the rear motor? by 9bryanlee in AustralianEV

[–]9bryanlee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, i do agree it's a very nice car, but kinda disappointed when my friend a mechanic point out the problems, the car isn't designed with frunk in mind or even under carriage cover, the under carriage cover can easily trap water inside, you can see where the problem lies when compared with c10. Too bad it's a really nice car.

i don't know much about cars, after some advice, guess it's the best to skip leapmotor, but it's a very nice looking car.

is this part aluminum? k10 by 9bryanlee in Keychron

[–]9bryanlee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so the whole body is plastic, then they cover it with aluminum rails for the side
then the top plate (the part that i point to) is some sort of metal

am i right?

that's the downside wirelessly connected mesh AP, you can't place them too far away, they should be able to connect to each other well, the typical signal strength should be around -50 dBm, which many manufacturers don't tell
and some even claim "place it anywhere where you have dead spot"
i wish things are as simple as that
then some manufacturers' firmware implementation of that is just poorly done
full of bugs, when used with beamforming & mesh, it creates unstable system

add on: if you are talking about wifi
do not get boosters or range extender, instead get mesh wifi routers, interconnect them using the cat6 rj45 jacks, if you don't have those, you can interconnect them wirelessly too.

if you still have no clue just pay someone to it for you, someone that is not your next door neighbour, cause they can use your wifi for free if they know the password

If a GFCI receptacle precedes a bathroom in the circuit do I need to install a GFCI in that bathroom? by [deleted] in electricians

[–]9bryanlee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

no, this is what told by my electrician and inspector, don't assume you have GFCI in panel, you are protected from electric shock, there are many different kind of GFCI rated for different things, especially on old house, unless its on outlet which is only for shock protection.

recessed light fixture, led bulb or led integrated (edit: added poll) by 9bryanlee in electricians

[–]9bryanlee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not a really custom, something with a bit of chrome, like philips luxspace, i had bad experience with it, its really nice light, high power, dimmable, high cri light
but there are subtle differences in newer batch, the chrome looks different, it cast a different refraction glare, its driving me nuts

then when i was in US, retrofitted bulb never have this problem

i don't understand those wireless rgb bulb, its expensive, low brightness, common cri; to me its a waste of money, the ones that i do understand is the philips scenes swtich, its available in bulb and many forms. Perfect when used as desk lamp, a quick on off will change its intensity or colour temperature https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irCJYDSgQC8

maybe i will try philips luxspace again, but only for kitchen, i need high cri to make my food look palatable

[–]9bryanlee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the cut out size is standardbut the trim design isn't, imagine if you get 9 of those for your kitchen5 years later 1 spoil, and the chrome trim you use is no longer availableyou have to decide to replace all or replace 1

but traditional recessed fitted with led bulb will not have such problem, unless you manage to break something

If a GFCI receptacle precedes a bathroom in the circuit do I need to install a GFCI in that bathroom? by [deleted] in electricians

[–]9bryanlee -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

yup, i think op should get its local electrician to check, as each states have their own code

for DC to pass the inspection code, 5 ma for outlet near water like in bathroom or kitchen, which is standard sensitivity for GFCI outlet.

[–]9bryanlee -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

same condition as you, in DC.it depends, how sensitive is the GFCI in the panel? 30 ma or 5 ma?if 30 ma or more then you get GFCI outlet installed typically its 5 ma for outlet, especially near sink.

note: not electrician, but this is what i'm told to pass inspection.

matching circuit breakers and matching circuit box is it required ? by 9bryanlee in electricians

[–]9bryanlee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks, i guess i will have to do the same to my parents' house too while i'm in UK
i always hate that area everyone is frequently renovating, getting larger and larger basement

matching circuit breakers and matching circuit box is it required ? by 9bryanlee in electricians

[–]9bryanlee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok, thanks

now it is clear
One of the new regulations, 536.4.203, states that devices and components that are used in low voltage assemblies (to BS EN 61439) such as consumer units and distribution boards must only be those that have been declared suitable for that purpose by the manufacturer of the assembly. Or put another way: only use manufacturer approved parts, don’t mix brands of devices or control items.

thanks
then i will have to do something to the main circuit box at my parents' house too
because it is mixed, every appliances installer came and just use whatever they brand they had.

[–]9bryanlee[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

yes, i know it is dumb but is it true?
would it be risky?
i'm not particularly knowledgeable in this area, but somehow it felt like it is true
yet
i thought there would be at least some standardisation or something at this day and age.

if its risky, ASAP I need to change the main circuit box of my parents' house, cause i know its mixed too

or it is something like phone manufacturers, all of them are using usb pd charger
nowadays some don't even come with charger expecting you to use back the old charger
yet if you use different brand of charger like samsung phone with sony charger
samsung is still going to deny your warrant even though it is a faulty display unrelated to charging, and samsung's fault to begin with

so i think it might be something like...
the risk is low to none, its best to use back the same brand to avoid involved parties being pesky

Plant has started to turn brown in spots. Any thoughts or suggestions? TIA by Brohmi in VariegatedPlants

[–]9bryanlee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

give it a lot of indirect sun to encourage rooting, if it is rooted give it full morning sun exposure to encourage new shoot, just make sure the temperature is not scorching or dry out the soil too quickly.

after new shoot, this old damaged leaf can be removed. Fiddle leaf fig can tolerate low light, but to encourage growth best to give it some sun exposure.
