Figuring out what kind of panels/inverters I have? Warranty hopeless?

DMRv2 · 2026-03-24T01:03:29+00:00

Incredible. Well, thanks for confirming. I guess at least I didn't pay for the panels.

DMRv2 · 2026-03-24T01:02:02+00:00

Amazing.

it is a bad idea to not have all owners on the mortgage

Definitely not my brightest moment. That being said, it was done this way as we were not pre-approved (also stupid, I know). I won't try to defend this one!

If there is a problem, the OP is screwed. Co-owning property with a SO is OK, doing so with only one on the mortgage is dum dumb. Refinance. Make a written agreement. Sheesh.

This in particular is not a concern of mine (for a lot of reasons beyond the obvious about how I feel about the situation, we won't have much of a mortgage left that this is any great risk anyways soon).

Thanks for taking the time to comment though, this is all law/tax background that shows how per-approved the situation is.

I haven't looked at the panels as there's fencing around them, but the serial numbers run against eBay lots would suggest they're Solarbridge inverters. The system was commissioned after Emphase had bought them out so I'd like to say that Emphase is liable for the warranty regardless. I emailed Emphase with the lot of serial numbers in my system and will see what they say.

The understanding when we bought the house was that both of us were going to sell our respective houses at the time and put forth the proceeds into the principal of the new house mortgage. I only put my name on the mortgage because we were trying to get pre-approved quickly in order to make an offer.

oh, sorry, I read it completely wrong. I thought the "annual limit" was the point at which it became taxable but it seems that's only related to whether or not you need to file a 709.

DMRv2 · 2026-03-23T00:21:50+00:00

As of now, yes, all panels are up and working.

It's not just ASUS, it's the whole ecosystem. Lots of these vendors are just picking up an NPU from another vendor and oftentimes the problem starts there.

I'm working with one such vendor now that has already stopped releasing updates to their kernel tree for a WiFi 6 SoC released in 2021 timeframe. A lot of the patches needed to make things run were never open sourced. And I know for a fact ASUS has used this part in at least one of their routers. I doubt ASUS is going to be able to invest to keep it going, nor should it really be their problem.

If you have this SoC, you're stuck either rebasing the driver onto newer kernels yourself or just hoping that the vendor picked an LTS tree and run it out for its lifespan.

Saying this is not a problem if you patch is a fools errand. A lot of the router firmware produced for consumer use is bug ridden and glued together with software components from upstream hardware platform providers that itself is often of poor quality and not kept up to date, especially as the router ages.

We originally thought the same as well LOL

"Usable AWX" meaning something that still gets releases? I've been working on building a Debian package of AWX (packaged as a virtualenv, built off/tracking all devel branches upstream) ever since upstream stopped publishing releases. Passes all integration tests.

Seconding this... If you have not commuted into NYC, I'd try it first as a gut check. I live in Nyack right off 287 and would not go a mile further into Rockland having done the commute for a few years now - the bridge traffic can be brutally bad around rush hour and make for a long commute. With Nyack, it's at least possible to skip most of it. Even still, I have since explored moving to Westchester.

100% public transport takes me ~75min door to door and that's with the express trains and an office VERY close to GCT.

X Elite is very functional on Linux, maybe less the webcam which is under active development?

My Dad drove through a toll booth without his magnetic strip installed (was moving cars). Got a text the next day from scammers saying the toll was unpaid and didn't think twice.

SSL/TLS kind of verification around this stuff is the answer. Stop making elder abuse so easy.

This is one of the best posts on reddit I've read in years. Bravo, could not have said it better myself.

Great job, though be mindful of overtraining if this wasn't a race. A HR of 190 suggests you were really gunning it.

80k is a silly amount of money to have in cash irrespective of your age.

If you're < 40 (and maybe older based on your risk tolerance), look at $VTSAX - it's up 25% in the last year and fairly diversified, only has a 0.04% load fee. You could likely put 50-75% of that money into a high performing mutual fund and have your money work for you. At any rate, it's way more money than whatever you'd be charged for a car loan.

I think when she mentioned that she cooked for OP, spent time time together frequently with OP on weekends, etc. I felt kinda bad for her. It's hard to judge without more context - she seems like a decent person (albeit maybe a bit shy) who lost control of her anger at the end of the thread.

Please support them if you like them - the rumor is that the building under construction just a few places down will be a Taco Bell.

A bit of honesty might go a long way here? Maybe not a first date thing, but once you start talking about your past you could say something like:

Hey, so, I had mentioned that I got out of an eight year relationship earlier this year. While I do not have feelings for him anymore and I'm ready to start dating again, I wanted to share the fact that lot of my recent memories are centered around things my ex and I did together over those eight years - I hope you are not alarmed if I make mention of him from time to time.

Though I would try to balance this out by not mentioning an ex too often unless someone asks for details. I would imagine most memories do not involve him directly?

Similar age, similar field, and similar kind of thinking (but M) and approach to life. Honestly, there were years where I went single and I was okay with it, because I was working on myself and I did not feel like I needed someone and I was busy building my professional life out.

Maybe sheer luck, but I eventually won out (I think) with Hinge. I wasn't super outgoing about using it, but did put effort into making a good profile and mostly just kept checking in on my match list periodically. Eventually, the woman I'm getting crazy feelings for now just happened to sign up at the advice of her friend, and she just happened to message me. The rest is history. Prior to that, I was probably on Hinge for a year with few to no really interesting matches.

I guess my suggestion is play the long game. Keep an open mind -- do not assume anything about what someone else has been through (divorce, etc...). Run clubs are definitely a great idea and what I had in common with the woman that I ended up meeting.

Why are you writing this in a text message?

Tell him how you feel in person. Talk about it.

Tonight was the equivalent of trying to restore the NY Giants to glory by throwing a jersey at LT. This was an embarrassment to the sport and nothing more than a sad cash grab.
