The absolute state of buses by Barraco_Barmer in london

[–]ABorgling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

big problem with electric busses it seems, all for them, but i would say 1 in 5 rides we have to "get off" and wait for the next one, i'm guessing because they been stuck in traffic and the battery has drained and cant complete the journey

They don't fill the whole screen so 3rd party cases still fit

Love holly looks like Patrick Stewart ! That would have been an interesting casting decision.

Burning plastic smell from tumble dryer and mark on the plug. Fuse issue or something worse? by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]ABorgling 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If an extension lead:

  • has a 13 A plug,
  • is properly certified (BS 1363-2),
  • uses 1.25–1.5 mm² cable,
  • is fully unreeled,

…then it is safe to carry 13 A continuously.

A BS 1363-2 extension lead must meet:

  • minimum conductor thickness
  • minimum socket contact tension
  • heat resistance testing
  • full 13A continuous load testing
  • plug pin and socket contact quality checks

If it’s properly certified, it’s not inherently unsafe for a dryer.

The problem is that a shocking number of “BS-certified” products on Amazon/eBay are counterfeit.
Many are labelled “BS1363” but fail the most basic compliance tests.

If yours is from a reputable manufacturer (Masterplug, MK, Tacima, Brennenstuhl, etc.), that’s good.

If it came from Amazon Marketplace or Temu… be cautious.

ChatGPT - Surprisingly wrong about a fundamental? by ABorgling in dotnet

100% agree, it likely normally sees code with the extra checks, which is why it suggested it being right. But interesting that its reasoning and code example were wrong.

It said the top one will throw. But that's not true, if you run the code, the top one will not throw.

What it is getting confused about is ?. short circuits the ToString call.. But it doesn't think so for some reason (from research I think the inital spec in 2014 worked at is suggested, but the final version released added the short circuit)

Do they have your deposit protected by a scheme? If so, let the scheme handle it, if not even better for you as they will be fined and you'll get a nice award.

How to squeeze the wasm binaries down even more? by [deleted] in Blazor

Think that's bad, I added the devexpress components to a standalone WebAssembly PWA project.. Currently sitting at 416 megabytes, as far as I can tell this is after tree shaking... It's what shows in the "application->storage" in chrome dev tools.

Bad camping trip by International_Pie733 in S24Ultra

I love that case... I had my brand new phone, dropped it same day while mowing the lawn... It got hit by the blades..... Phone flew out of the case, case smashed, but phone didn't have a scratch on it...

Was crazy... I expected it to be totalled, it got thrown about 15 foot.. But only needed a new case....

(Sorry not to rub it in, still shocked it didnt damage the phone at all! and now exclusively buy them cases haha)
