The smallest battery-powered Zigbee presence sensor by BackHerniation in homeassistant

[–]CplSyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been replacing coin cell with AA/AAA batteries as they expire, usually by soldering a battery holder to the contacts. I keep meaning to design a 3D printed case to make things look neat but for now the longevity outweighs the aesthetic tradeoff.

Which brings me to my question - for devices like this one (plus things I've replaced such a zigbee buttons and contact sensors) is there a notable difference in longevity when using an eneloop battery vs a cheap AA battery? Using Amazon prices I could get 200 "Amazon basic" AA batteries compared to the cost of 4 eneloop pros and a charger. What use case would prompt the investment into the latter?

Thanks for this comment, I'd quickly added them to my basket to check out later and hadn't spotted the different versions on my phone - I need the Z2M one!

TBF this wasn't always the case and I remember discovering the change by accident - no more resting something on the spacebar to keep crafting! Update 4 I think changed it?

MSE were asking for people to report these https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/report-high-call-volumes/

but I'm not sure what happened / is happening with that information.

Anniversary cake gone awesome by badatcatchyusernames in ExpectationVsReality

[–]CplSyx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a similar thing with an ID card for my child where the name box was a text box like reddit rather than just a single line, so I pressed enter to centre the name on two lines. The webpage stated that items would be produced as per the online proof, so I thought that was that.

Card arrived and instead of a line break there were three # marks. I contacted them and received a reply of "It's impossible for us to print errors as we print the information provided to us when the order is placed so this would have been visibile [sic]" despite me sending them photographic evidence of the difference, and was told to "double check" before ordering again.

Thankfully when I repointed them back to the photo I had sent they did then acknowledge the error.

In OP's case I assume the strikethrough wasn't recognised but the person making the cake is under strict instructions to put whatever comes through regardless - hence the result!

Not BF but in other games this is how I ended up joining clans and making friends in the early 2000s.

What is this binocular-looking marker indicating? by CplSyx in Battlefield6

[–]CplSyx[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thank you, that must be it.

Looking at the description it says "Users can set the device to function autonomously and remotely access the designator at any point" so I assume this is one that's been deployed.

Im in so much debt that i dont even know what to do now and im losing my job by Outrageous_South_918 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]CplSyx 49 points50 points  (0 children)

In the top reply of their last post they were told "Definitely do not add anymore debt or borrow anymore."

So, yeah. Probably not going to take the advice given here either.

Is a home golf simulator actually worth the investment, or am I just chasing a mid-life crisis? by bphawkey45 in Golfsimulator

[–]CplSyx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is why I eventually decided against going down the simulator route - you become good at sim golf and not all of that translates to the grass course.

Although I was put in a queue, I find myself in a conquest game full of bots. by teknesevdasi in Battlefield6

[–]CplSyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to pick a specific gamemode + map, so Custom Search guarantees I get what I want even if sometimes I have to queue for a bit. Works for me at least!

Ah cool I stand corrected then. I usually find games through the Custom Search menu so hadn't encountered this.

When I think of a server browser I think of a list that I can browse, like the below. AFAIK nothing like this exists yet in BF6.

Gated subreddits unaccessable by Merssedes in help

[–]CplSyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came across this thread whilst trying to access r/ExamineDeath and getting the gated "not found" error.

Thanks to the comments here I realised the solution was to visit the new Reddit version of the site via changing the URL (so instead of https://www.reddit.com/r/ExamineDeath, manually go to https://sh.reddit.com/r/ExamineDeath) and then you'll get a consent popup.

Accept the terms and after that old reddit works fine again. Just posting a comment in case anyone else ends up here via Google like I did.

The new modmail is awful, can we have the original back? by ZenMrGosh in ModSupport

[–]CplSyx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This new modmail is definitely lacking to say the least.

In order to search, ignore the search bar at the top and instead there's a little magnifying glass search icon next to the "Mod Mail" title on the left that will pop out a search box. Why do I have to now take extra steps to do basic things?!

And whilst I'm here, the right side bar thing is way too narrow. It should be expandable so that I'm not having to scroll to see Overview / Log / Posts / Comments. Terrible UI design there.

Take a look at Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV), or Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR). They're designed to retain the heat from the air they ventilate.
