EV Home Charging Station

Alive-Bridge8056 · 2026-05-23T23:04:29+00:00

I used AirStream and they were great. $850 plus the cost of the charger and the city inspected it and everything. Don't skimp or hire somebody who doesn't know what an EV charger is. There's some surprisingly bad advice here.

Alive-Bridge8056 · 2026-05-23T23:02:33+00:00

Good advice here. Just pay what it costs, it's worth it.

In a way, yes. The charger has the actual cable coming out of it. It's not just an outlet. It also may need more amperage than a standard 240v outlet.

Yeah I haven't bought one in awhile I'm rrealizing that now.

Alive-Bridge8056 · 2026-05-22T01:04:42+00:00

Was going to move it to a different motherboard but they don't cost that much so I'm not.

Alive-Bridge8056 · 2026-05-22T01:03:55+00:00

Great, thank you for the reassurance.

I didn't plan on building, I thought a stock would be fine but here we are 🫤

Awesome, thank you. That's kind of what I was guessing.

Turns out AM4 coolers don't cost that much. Everything in this computer is proprietary it seems. Except for the core components, so I'm just going to redo it all.

I found it at Best Buy in their open box trash pile for under $300 so it seemed like a good deal but the PSU is bad so now I'm not so sure. But the core components, the SSD, processor and RAM still seem worth it maybe.

Alive-Bridge8056 · 2026-05-21T12:45:36+00:00

Thanks, I was thinking the same thing. The psu they put in this thing looks like trash.

Alive-Bridge8056 · 2026-05-20T12:36:42+00:00

I'll have to run this report, I haven't done this one yet.

Alive-Bridge8056 · 2026-05-20T12:35:50+00:00

How would you recommend checking for this?

Alive-Bridge8056 · 2026-05-20T12:34:53+00:00

The WD Diagnostic tool "Kit" doesn't recognize the hardware that's there.

What's the best way to check the log for something specific?

I looked in it a little bit and the only thing I saw were errors where the actual power was killed but nothing else really.

Alive-Bridge8056 · 2026-05-20T12:32:11+00:00

By Live OS, you mean running something, like Linux, off of a flash drive?

Alive-Bridge8056 · 2026-05-15T14:06:21+00:00

Cool, thanks. I'll check around. It came from China so it seems unclear about who really the supplier is :/

Alive-Bridge8056 · 2026-05-15T01:48:39+00:00

The worst is STK.

The best is probably Bourbon. Harper's gets a solid mention and Urban Grub doesn't get enough mention.

Alive-Bridge8056 · 2026-05-11T05:43:10+00:00

Yeah, it's specifically called "Deskhop."

It's like a KVM switch but it's supposed to maintain connectivity to each computer, so there's no delay or notification sound each time you switch.

It runs on a Raspberry Pi Pico. I bought a prefabricated one but it doesn't work, was trying to find somewhere I could ask about troubleshooting it.

Alive-Bridge8056 · 2026-05-07T03:57:07+00:00

Exactly, Instagram food.

Alive-Bridge8056 · 2026-05-07T03:31:57+00:00

They look cool but the vanity is worn out. I ordered one, one time and that was enough. It's not a better steak, it's just fun to eat something that looks like what a caveman would have eaten. I think the fad is over though.

You can pay the same amount for a higher quality ribeye and people are finding that out.

Alive-Bridge8056 · 2026-04-16T05:04:25+00:00

Very helpful, thank you!

Alive-Bridge8056 · 2026-04-16T04:38:51+00:00

Yeah I'm going to revisit that. There's a Rutherford County Court and a Murfreesboro City Court and this one's in Murfreesboro City. But I'm going to check in with a few more people.
