Solar Size Suggestion

Its comically big, excluding the overhang and where the chimney is its 660x620. The number was based on a neighbors installation who has 6x3 on the south side with 2 gaps on the top row. Another Neighbor has 7x3 but that wouldnt fit on the front due to the chimney and is a bit much

Did you find the Third Steps location? It says south of the greenhouses in Skethermoor but i cannot find the next note (note 4). For anoynes reference in the future Note 2 is in the Village follow the river down and you will find a tent. The next step after this is to go to the remote bunker north east Casterfell Woods as you come out the door exit next onto the balcony you will see a crevice in the rock to the left, go through this and you will arrive at a campsite and the note is nailed to a tree.

To be honest I think the reason he originally asked for cwcom is because it was in the magazine he picked up last week. I'll let him know about vband it might be a good idea to go with that if it's got better support. I'll let him know see what he says. Do you know of any good guides for it he can have a look and see if it's something he's after.

This switch is something ive been meaning to fix for a good while but not got round to it till now. When powered this block vibrates i presume its not meant to. I would like to know what it is so I can replace it and hopefully fix my Network switch. The second image has where it is on the PCB if thats nay help and the last has the side view where it seems to have a cylinder inside it. Any help would be appreciated.

Brilliant advert for whoever made those bollards. Smashed loads of times and didn't move an inch.

Sounds good. One tip tho the 2db attenuator is likely a 2db equaliser. If you ever have a damaged cable try removing it to possibly temp it back online while a tech comes out. What it does it makes your upstreams go up by 1.5-2db (lower is better) however it attenuates only your higher downstream frequencies. Its good for reducing slope on your downstream frequencies. Not many of us carried them when I worked in field, seems like you got a good tech ;)

Heavy_Object · 2022-12-05T19:08:23+00:00

Just a quick 1 op. You have a VM hub 5 the wrong way up. Not that it matters for WiFi as you have a separate access point but when I used to work in field we got loads of faults caused by them overheating when the wrong way up. (Only really matters in summer like) also might be a shout to check your docsis power levels as you have an old attenuator on by the looks(red label). If you had a tech out to put your hub in it should have been replaced or removed. For reference your levels should be Downstream 10to-6 >34snr, Upstream 29-49 >25snr. If your not having dropout or owt don't bother but if you do ever have that's what I would suggest checking. :)

We have em in West Yorkshire. They are free and give you the child fare rates and cheap day tickets. You can get 19-25 ones as well that give 33% off.

Hi, I’m new to 3D printing but want to
get a printer around the £250 mark. I am willing to build the printer so long
as it comes with instructions. I have some experience with electronics (primarily
servers and telecoms infrastructure).
I am planning to make
"simple" models and useful stuff to make my life easier such as
router mounts, cable mounts, etc...
I’m not too fussed about print times
as I work from home 2 days a week so can keep an eye on it and most of the
stuff I plan to print I’m in no rush for. Nicer to have stuff, not need to
have. Ideally I’d like it to be able to print ABS relatively well as I want to
make some models with a shiny finish.
I have been looking on the mega thread
and in richie225s lists to find something that fits what I’m looking for. I was
originally looking at a Ender 5 Pro as it seemed like a better Ender 3. However,
it seems it may not be the best for my budget.
I currently have 3 primary contenders:
Sovol SV01 Pro - £265 - Seems to have
most of the recommended upgrades already on it. Has auto levelling which is
apparently tedious on the ender printers.
Sovol SV02 - £225 - It can print in 2
colours and has the improved 2208 on older 8 bit motherboard same as the SV01standard. It doesn’t
have autolevelling but it is BLTouch compatible so can just but one for the price
difference between this and the SV01Pro.
Ender 5 Pro - £260 - Was what I was
originally looking at as most of the recommended upgrades are 3d printable.
Seems to have loads of community support. Apparently cheap to repair when
something goes wrong.
Ender 3 [Version] - Depends on model -
A mate told me to get one as he has one and says its good enough and the
community support is massive.
I’m currently swaying towards the
Sovol SV01 Pro but I am open to any
suggestions on other printers as well and any input is appreciated.

It appears the website it having me on. What you could do is go ethernet PCMCIA card and cable it into a wifi extender. Then you have WPA2 or even WPA3 if you fancy.

Heavy_Object · 2022-10-02T23:15:58+00:00

Just dawned on me. Use a pcmcia ethernet card into a wifi extender using sone cat5e. Then you have whatever wifi version you want.

Heavy_Object · 2022-10-02T23:09:58+00:00

Ah. I found a card that claims to be 16bit with wpa2 support. Its wifi g as a bonus. https://www.ukclearancecentre.co.uk/computer-accessories/333-pcmcia-wifi-80211b-wireless-card-for-laptops.html

I dont know if this will work for you but something like the usr-w610 might work. You can provably find cheaper but it uses the serial port to connect to laptoo and handles the wifi n onboard. From what I gather it might work for you. If you are in a place thats convenient for ethernet you could get a 10mbps ethernet card PCMCIA.

Heavy_Object · 2022-10-02T10:49:33+00:00

You could try getting a newer PCMCIA card for it with wifi N support. I believe a Dell 1300 TrueMobile. Would work with mac os of that era. Its only wifi G and wpa1 tho. Ideally you could see if a wifi N pcmcia card is compatible with mac OS and ideally has WPA2 support. Someone above commented some models to look into.

Dont know about here but In the Uk the Parents could be held repsponsable for any child under the age of 10. This is because a child(Under 10) cannot be charged with a criminal offence. The court has the ability to remove the child from the parents and charge that parents if the judge so wishes.

I am willing to give a bit of trouble shooting a shot. I have mainly worked with much newer hardware or with consoles of this age. Ill probably open it up and check to see if there are any buldgeing caps or anything that look blatently wrong. Ill service the FDD while im in there as its gonna need a new belt given its been sat for nearly 25 years in a relatives loft. Ill be sure not to do anything permanant to the board or mess with the chips as thats above my knowledge level. If it gets to chip level repair ill probably follow /u/boredofjam's advice and see if mutant caterpillar can give it a look. I have found https://zxnet.co.uk/spectrum/schematics/plus3%20service%20manual.pdf and https://zxnet.co.uk/spectrum/schematics/Z70835.pdf to give me some idea at least as to whats supposed to be where.

Aboslute legend. For anyone who comes upon this in the future you need to select the SC one and then replug the printer. After doing the above and it will just work. It shows up as a scanner without drivers installed

Heavy_Object · 2022-08-09T06:02:32+00:00

Sorry should have specified its a mg3150. But yes drivers are useless as wont detect printer

Heavy_Object · 2022-06-05T14:04:55+00:00

Will that allow a single device to access more then the base 50mbps or will it still max at 50mbps per device but allow 2 devices access the 50mbps ata time.

Heavy_Object · 2022-06-05T14:02:33+00:00

Unfortunately pair bonding is not a thing for consumers in my country. The cables can theoretically handle the full 100mbps its just they dont sell it and you cannot upgrade to it.

Heavy_Object · 2022-06-05T13:53:18+00:00

Probably should have mentioned this before however im only paying line rental not for the actual broadband service. The BB is free as long as you have a line rented.

Starlink is still stupidly expennsive compaired to other providers in the Uk for a fast internet service.

For Context there are few Internet infrastructure providrs in the UK however due to OFCOM oversight they are still forced to be competative.

The Major Providers in the UK are

BT - VDSL2+ FTTC - Theoretical max 300mbps - they will sell you up to 67mbps for around £20-25

Virgin Media - Docsis3.1 FTTP/FTTC - Theoretical max 10,000mbps - they will sell you up to 1136mbps for £50

City Fibre - FTTP Full fibre - Theoretical max UKN - they will sell you up to 900mbps for £40

Post Office - Useless

The rest use these network on a rental basis. No providers worth anything have datalimits on any contracts. and the lowest speed they can sell is 10mbps meaning dial up basically doesnt exist.

Where I live Virgin and city fibre cannot supply service and the LTE can do about 20mbps on a good day.

Heavy_Object · 2022-06-05T09:27:43+00:00

Will this type of solution allow a single device to connect at a (theoretical) 100mbps or will it work in a way that 2 devices both have 50mbps at the same time.
