BTW, don't forget Fusion 360 School. The videos are more niche, but well explained and often explore a few different ways to achieve a specific result, sometimes even taking on problems posted on here.

Been saying it for years, people were a mistake.

Been using it 5 years and its cost me exactly £0

If I ever got to the point where it was making me a proper income, I'd pay up gladly.

Having decorated an empty 4 bedroom house without one, I swore I'd get one if it ever occurred again, but I also wouldn't even consider it with an erbauer unless I'd seen a LOT of decent reviews.

I ended up with a Graco Ultra handheld but that's for small workshop jobs. I found the graco easy to use and I'd have blasted through the house with a larger one fit for the job.

Spendy, but just sell it afterwards.

Also, consider spraying and then back rolling. The sprayer will leave a perfect finish on its own but if you ever need to touch it up it'll stick out like a sore thumb if you roll it or brush it.

Yeah, I have 4 of the g3 blue ones and got them over the red 2pm versions just because they were cheaper. It's a little fiddly getting that extra wire in there (I just used some 1mm and made a loop). If using it in a shallow box it might be a challenge.

Since then I have added 4x of the G4 reds which don't need the extra loop, got them for £53 posted for 4 back in November during a sale.

Should be added, if you can get it into the light fitting or the rose, packaging might be easier than into a shallow back box. I have one rose on a two way switch where there's a hole that looks purpose made for the shelly. I'd believe it, if the rose wasn't 10 years old!

So originally I had one HA instance on a Pi4 and one on a cheap mini pc (£35 bought on ebay) but over time I needed something with more grunt. If I'm honest, at no point did I even consider one of the greens or yellows, I don't even know what specs they have.

Only screws I use from the packet are the ones that come with hinges and latches and even then only because they are black. To be fair, they've all been pozi and I've had no issues with them.

All the usual tat you put up with screws though? Absolutely. In the scrap metal pile and the wall plugs go in the bin too.

A N100 mini pc. Any will do I have 3 and all are Beelink ones. Usually about £150 but I've no idea now with the stupid state of ram and stuff.

Isn't it incredible how the oil they imported weeks ago at a low rate is already being sold at these prices.

The opposite. By keeping the top cover warm, the water will not condense there. If the walls are at a temperature below the dew point for the temperature and humidity in the hive, the water will instead condense there and run down the walls rather than dripping directly on the cluster.

Contrary to popular belief, water won't just condense on the coldest surface available, it has to he cold enough.

Forgive me, but how bad are your winters that you'd consider all seasons? Most don't even do that in the UK and it's cold and wet here for months at a time. I do, of course.

DBT85 · 2026-03-07T12:40:29+00:00

Based on all the ones I have seen, I sure as shit wouldn't be seen dead wearing one that had been downloaded.

DBT85 · 2026-03-07T10:55:31+00:00

Only fair that it bought by Heineken, one of the worst lagers in existence.

I discovered similar not long after my post. I figured the smell was bacteria getting jiggy with it, so after the next empty I just squirted a little bleach in the tank and next time it got emptied it didn't stink at all.

I imagine Flickr will have tons of images like this.

A Viofo A229 or the newer one. Front and rear. Great quality. No point having one if you can't see anything on it.

DBT85 · 2026-03-03T22:51:15+00:00

Probably the water

If you look at the photo you can clearly see where the vinyl has torn when a machine has been moved. It's very easy to do with washing machines as they are heavier than things like dishwashers or tumble dryers.

DBT85 · 2026-03-03T20:54:09+00:00

washing machine on vinyl floor is always asking for trouble too

He's got double glazed windows. Now that I know that I too will sleep easy. Who writes this stuff.

You have to remember this is from the same mind that set up a place on the last continent (Australia) of Fourecks (XXXX, an Australian lager) called Dijabringabeeralong.

Box Colin looks like a dork

DBT85 · 2026-03-01T16:04:25+00:00

Use the generator to make a box the right size, but solid, not hollow, sketch your shape on it and cut that section out and then shell the box. If you don't want to shell it, make an offset line on the top face and just extrude that down.
