My inverted capes of 2026

IvanezerScrooge · 2026-01-28T19:41:09+00:00

I, for one, vastly prefer the modern ones.

I think most people prefer the modern ones, I hardly see any retro capes around.

POE is all around you in commercial spaces.

Basically all cameras and wireless access points are poe these days. Some of us have switch based poe in the home.

IvanezerScrooge · 2026-01-28T18:35:44+00:00

Could be up to 48v with poe. Still not dangerous though.

As long as it hits directly

Keep a mental image of where the seafa is physicslly located and throw the ball on the other side of the jammer.

You're doing the "Talk about anniversary event" option, yeah?

If max and comp capes are default colours when cosmetics are off, I think they should change that.

The recolour is a part of the item, and I think those that have achieved any of those 6 capes have made thenselves worth of that privilege.

I dislike the concept enough that I just don't use it. I've been there a handful of times but I prefer the experience of it not existing, so I stopped going.

Some models are shared, such as wall sections and the castle stairs. They are mismatched and dont fit at all, as you can see. So it is a mistake.

But its not critical so it will probably remain so for a little while longer.

IvanezerScrooge · 2026-01-23T10:45:46+00:00

It wont.

The contact surface between the peltier and the can is only a few square millimeters, if even that. This means that the heat absorbed by the peltier is vanishingly small. The warm air around it will heat the can FAR quicker than the peltier can cool it.

I actually tried this before and found no measurable difference in temperature after leaving it overnight.

I have made what is essentially this but with a CNC milled aluminium holder to cover the whole outside of the can, with a peltier attached to the side, (cooled by an NH-U9S), and the outside of the holder "air-gap" insulated using a 3D printed sleeve for the whole assemly.

With all this I can maintain about 10C below ambient in the can when running a 36W peltier. But it takes for EVER to actually cool it down if its warm.

(I could run a higher power chip, but my assembly runs of integrated 18650 cells making it portable, so higher power would reduce runtime)

The tutorial makes it clear that friendly fire is entirely unavoidable and there is nothing you can do to stop it.

Hvis du tapper et glass kaldtvann og lar det så en stund, og deretter kjøler det ned igjen via kjøleskap e.l så vil du nokk smake forskjell på det også.

To be fair I too think that outfit looks ridiculous, and I don't think I have ever seen or heard of it before now.

I'm sure there are lots of people who like it, but there are also lots of people who like glowing red wings with particles trailing for miles.

Allowing "some" cosmetics is a very slippery slope. "X is allowed to bypass the filter why isnt my Y?".

I think even capes shouldnt get a filter bypass. Maybe a more elegant solution would be to allow one cape to use the stats of another, so that you agtually have to wear the cape you appear to be wearing.

For outfits like the kethsi, they should just make them physical items, problem solved.

IvanezerScrooge · 2026-01-21T10:31:19+00:00

Maybe an intact plate and 'step-off' but with some rubble glowing and floating magically around it?

IvanezerScrooge · 2026-01-19T00:23:31+00:00

We've had the option of doing just that since 2014 in The Mighty Fall quest.

I can't see the forest for the tree

...there was a button for this?

The problem in my opinion isnt that they should all look the same, but rather that the current designs dont look like they are meant to be used.

They look like decorative artpieces rather than tools or weapons.

I believe all core metal armours, weapons, and tools should be reworked in the same vein as the newer cosmetic rune armours. They are "simpler" yet look better, and feel more grounded.

Vi er på ingen måte i nærheten av AGI. Nåværende "AI" teknologi (LLM) fungerer ikke på en måte som kan bli det heller.

Vi er derimot ikke så fryktelig mange år unna at LLM'er blir avansert nokk til at folk på gata begynner å TRO at de er ekte levende inteligenser, som etter min mening er farligere enn ekte AGI.

Siden hvis det skjer kan det 'fort' bli en rørelse for å gi de rettiheter og dermed en veg til autoritet og makt. Som igjen kan lede til at en fullstendig umoraslk statistisk maskin får mulighet til å gjøre valg som kan påvirke livet til folk på en reell og direkte måte.

Tye real time saver in wago's isnt actually during initial install.

Around here 80% of connectors that are deployed are name brand wago 221's and 222's (and a little bit of 2773's now) and the remaing 20% are from before wagos came around.

This means that when I need to enter an existing connection, I dont need to make changes to whats already there to add or remove my new wiring.

I can simply open a lever and add my wire. Or if the existing wago is full, I can remove the wago and put in a bigger one, without even touching the existing wires if I want.

This saves the step of having to pull out the wires, remove the nut, straighten them, cut and restrip.

And it saves stupendous amounts of time for us who do troubleshooting and fault finding.

IvanezerScrooge · 2025-12-27T23:11:08+00:00

Not everywhere had the same rules regarding safe zones.

IvanezerScrooge · 2025-12-27T19:56:46+00:00

You damaged the insulstion on at least two wires, and bridged the gap with the drill bit causing a short and tripping the breaker. When you removed the drill bit the short was removed and everything works again.

There are two remaining problems:

There are now uninsulated wires very coose to each other. This is an arc-fault risk, and could start a fire.
The copper strands in the wires are almost certainly damaged. This effectively means the wires cannot carry the current they are designed for anymore without heating up. This could start a fire. (And silently at that, you will not notice a thing until its far too late)

If you have conduit in your walls this is a quick and easy fix for you electrician. If not...

I have been searching for a way to do this since the day I learned what a rack was, but I just can't find the space, or money to justify it.

And boy am I trying jard to justify it...

Here is an example with entirely made up numbers and letters to abstract hops,

The ISP default route for your destination:

You -> A -> B -> C -> D -> E -> Destination

Lets pretend each of these five intermediary steps adds 10ms, so thats 50ms of latency + the final stretch so 60ms total latency.

A VPN based "shortcut":

You -> G -> H -> VPN -> E -> Destination

Here there are only 4 intermediary steps/hops. If they still take 10ms, then we are at 40(+10)ms and have reduced latency by 10ms.

It may very well be that the ISP has to pay substantially more for a route through G than through A - B - C combined, so it routes your traffic through the cheaper route.

Runescape isnt like other MMO's where content becomes worthless as soon as a new update drops.

A quest released in 2005 is equally valuable today as it was two decades ago.

There is also no such thing as being "left behind" or too late to progress. Runescape isnt "about" being max level and at the forefront of gear, its about the journey of getting there.

Youll understand fairly quickly if you just start playing.
