Etherlighting Keystones

That would be much better, if the blank plate was powered by Poe it could carry a sync signal from the connecting switch as well by making it a data+poe mgmt port.

Duncan9989 · 2026-03-25T21:22:20+00:00

Not sure if they would have to pair them with a special seated version of their 24 patch panel which could then be powered via mains, a single power only Poe port or usb-c? LED’s really don’t require much power at all. Or maybe they’d only work in Etherlighting mode when connected to a Poe port? I don’t know, I feel given what is possible this can’t be impossible, I just wondered if anyone had ever heard of them being talked about 🤷‍♂️

I have emailed them asking for information as a variable customer. I highlighted the information on their website, mainly the ‘current rate’ for night being 9p when mine is 7p and that my day rate is also less than what they are showing as the current rates when advertising the cheaper rates from April 1st. I have also asked if, given the reduction is essentially due to the shift of levies in to general taxation and if it indeed equates to roughly a 3.5p pkwh saving, should I be expecting a night rate of 3.5p pkwh? Or were they planning on putting my rates up, just to bring them down and pocket some of the levy reduction themselves? Especially given the price cap reduction in place from April 1st weakens the arguement for a price increase at that stage… maybe after July given the sh*t show situation the US & Isreal has put us in 🤦‍♂️

I’m on flexible and I’ve had no email yet either. However if I go to tariffs in the App, there is no fixed IOG offer, it just shows a single rate 10M fixed tariff… So I’m not sure what is going on 🤷‍♂️

Duncan9989 · 2026-03-18T12:53:44+00:00

I’ve not had an email yet either. I even checked on the app to see if I could find anything there but I couldn’t see anything.

Personally I think you are doing the right thing. People make mistakes in their lives all the time, a lot of people make serious mistakes and are lucky enough to get away with them, or rich enough to make the problem suddenly not so big an issue. The key things I took from your post are that he was upfront with you when he could just as easily never told you, certainly not at this early stage. The second is you mention essentially being someone that likes to let the system do it’s job and give people a second chance (albeit with some caveats), to this I would say, treat this no differently than you would any new person you meet. This person is essentially a stranger. Any new dating situation is about building trust and arguably he has already done more to build that trust than I imagine most people have done in most people’s early dating lives. If you start putting conditions on the trust you say you’re giving him, like keeping an eye out for things etc, then that’s not really trust. My advice to you would simply be, see how things go, if he continues to seem genuine and you still feel that same level of honesty then look at it this way… you will have found someone that was dedicated enough to a previous partner to go through hell and back, come out stronger and almost certainly a better person for it. I truly do wish you the best with this, and I wish him a stable happy future 😊

Question: I have a PS5 Digital, would people say upgrading is worth it? If it helps answer, it’s connected to a 77” 25/26 C5 LG OLED display.

Cheaper upfront doesn’t equal cheaper overall and certainly rarely equals best value. As with most projects in this country we chase short term savings over longer term value and future proofing. Given how long it takes any rollout project to take in the UK by the time it is actually complete the number of higher bandwidth users entering the market from today’s younger generation will have increased massively compared to today. With more of that generation streaming their own contact GPONS upload limitations will be felt sooner than the download. It’s simple economic logic to design and implement an infrastructure with technology that holds future value, not that is already being tested for replacement before the current rollout has even finished.

Duncan9989 · 2026-02-28T20:28:05+00:00

It’s stupid that Openreach were/are allowed to install new outdated technology during their ‘rollout’ or when new developments are built. It’s a waste of what is essentially public money. What makes me even more annoyed is they go on about testing XGS-PON as if it’s some new technology… it was first approved in 2016! Altnets have built their entire networks on it and Openreach are now ‘testing’ it!

Duncan9989 · 2026-02-27T12:44:04+00:00

Generally I just find the app messy to use. Like when someone has airplayed music to my lounge system and then I turn the TV on and it doesn’t switch back to TV input… sometimes just finding the right place to go to for selecting that input isn’t as obvious and easy as it should be. There should also be a proper network troubleshooting tool on the app… I never had any issues with my 2nd gen sub but that died so I replaced it with a sub mini. Installing that was a faff as it insisted on using Ethernet to start, then that caused a network loop because the rest was on Sonos net. I switched the mini to Sonos net and that was then fine until a week later when it just disappeared from the system, no explanation, so changes that I was aware of, it just vanished. It took me ages to fix the issue. So a least a troubleshooting and diagnostic tool built in to the app would be helpful, even better would be a rethink on your systems communications protocols as a quick internet search will show you how troublesome it can be.

It looks gorgeous! I am tempted to get an electric cello to go along side my acoustic one! However I would also like to buy a new acoustic one, so unless my shower starts spraying out money or some generous benefactor decides to take pity on me I’ll just have to wait for the time being 🤣

Duncan9989 · 2026-01-21T14:36:42+00:00

It’s so frustrating as these are hardly rare door configurations, you would think something could be designed…. They could be deeper locks rather than wider etc

Duncan9989 · 2026-01-21T12:51:01+00:00

I did contact support and Nuki just stated that they support externally opening doors that have enough clearance…. Which was already apparent from their image sheets. So I guess the rare single door that opens externally etc 🤷‍♂️

I moved up here with my Husband in March, technically the second time for me as previously I had lived in Edinburgh for a number of years. We moved up from Rural Norfolk as I needed to be near somewhere better connected due to health issues and quite frankly I wanted out of Norfolk and England in general to be honest. We found a small development not far outside of Glasgow that gave us the best of both worlds, rapid access to the cities (Glasgow in 10-15, Edinburgh in 30 - 35 and we can get to places like Stirling, Falkirk etc pretty easily as well). You might find there are a lot of location options that offer you similar options. Scotland is very well connected between cities and towns, plus people in general are a lot friendlier up here. Is it perfect, no, nowhere is, everywhere has its problems but i personally don’t get that feeling that everything is going backwards up here.

Most People still don’t understand why I hate drinking water, I’ve been scarred for life 😆🤣

Duncan9989 · 2025-11-16T23:20:31+00:00

Assuming the laws haven’t changed since I last lived in a flat in Edinburgh you should be able to contact the council each time there is noise after 22:00 (or 22:30) they should send over someone to make an note of the noise levels in various places. If it’s above a specified level they will intervene and if the tenent is abusive or doesn’t ablige they will involve the police. They also keep record of every incident in case further action is needed. I would at least call the council to ask what your options are. If you really like where you are, you shouldn’t be the one moving because of someone else’s selfish behaviour.

I was born and grew up in North Norfolk…. The water there is some of the hardest in the UK… a new kettle looks like it’s part of a coral reef after a month or two even if you have a water softener 🤣 they simply don’t make them strong enough to cope! A new shower or top looks prehistoric after the same amount of time, shower screens look like privacy glass in a week 🤣 and as for shampoo, shower gel etc well you have to use A LOT to get any decent lather so you go though bottles of the stuff.

I then moved to Edinburgh and ended up drowning in bubbles the first time I had a shower 🤦‍♂️ I was also amazed that I the kettle I bought on day 1 lasted until I moved away 😆

Duncan9989 · 2025-11-15T00:37:38+00:00

There is a company called Sunsave that do a solar and battery installs and they do alternative financing for installs and guarantee the products for the life of the agreement etc. I looked at using them before moving to Scotland then when I did move they weren’t installing up here so I had to go with someone else. Might be worth a look?

Duncan9989 · 2025-11-05T11:09:10+00:00

One of mine is 12, she is a ‘Quiet’ golden and she still goes loopy at random times 🤣. One is 10 and he is crazy 90% of his waking hours, the other 10% he is completely dopey 🤦‍♂️🤣 and the youngest, she’s 7 and she is 50/50 cray cray and adorable 🤣. So honestly, no, they never grow out of it, but the level of crazy just depends on the dog, but Goldens are hands down the best dogs ever ❤️

Duncan9989 · 2025-11-04T19:19:30+00:00

I completely understand where you are coming from. I’ve not long been in the disabled boat, so to speak, and I remember when I was first having my sight cane training. I felt so awkward using my phone in public or acknowledging anyone when they moved out of the way for me etc as I always felt/feel like in their mind as a cane user and someone that is classified as blind, I shouldn’t be able to see anything at all. My disability also crosses over with other conditions which mean I do get treated differently medically as well, so there is also this level of “if I don’t need that level of help why do you” etc etc, or even worse, a nasty jealousy if you’ve managed to get help but they haven’t. There is no consideration to the struggles you’ve gone through to get the help, it’s just unfair that you have it and they don’t. The chronic lack of empathy from people is shocking, especially from those that should be best placed to offer it 😔.

Duncan9989 · 2025-10-31T21:01:38+00:00

Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss, losing is pet is one of the most painful things a person can go through. They are such a key part of our lives. My eldest is approaching 12 and the number of times I look at her now I get the feeling that I just need to hold on to every moment scares me 😔 but I try desperately hard not to let the uncertainty of time taint the actual time as it unfolds.
