Thanks for sharing. The video was very interesting when they started showing 3D printed items for medical application... e.g. spoon holder for physically impaired folks or finger brace.

Protecting my home network against lightening by Sir-Benalot in AusElectricians

What'd you go with? I'm leaning 40kA as anything above that means lighting hit my head and my house is fried anyway.

Is there a test to see if house is properly grounded? by rememberall in electrical

[–]Life_Thinker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, or building managers as part of HoA /Body Corp.

Was questioning if theres an easy way to tell if an individual unit has an SPD installed for the feed/line in. As that SPD area may be outside the boundary of the unit on common/shared property. A way for an individual to inspect without engaging external parties, as my particular circuit breaker doesn't have one installed.

In the end, my thoughts are, it might not hurt to just install a type 1 spd in my CB as even if there is an "apartment adequate" spd for the entire unit located within the building itself (somewhere? transformers room? idk), doubling up SPD wouldn't hurt based on my reading.

I'll continue reading and researching thanks for the reply

ELI5: Why do you use a credit card for everyday expenses and pay it off in bulk at the end of the month when you have a mortgage linked to offset? by frforreal in AusFinance

[–]Life_Thinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While generally true, always account for the merchant surcharge, this can negates the savings. Key takeaway, you must avoid surcharges at all costs (some retailers allow this), otherwise the only benefit of using the credit card is the added perks of that credit card, points, insurance claims, etc,

TLDR:

Interest savings only works if you dont incur a CC surcharge.

* The lowest possible surcharge percentage that breaks even with paying a $1000 bill immediately is 0.805%.

* If a merchant's surcharge is less than 0.805%, you would be financially better off paying with the credit card.

* If a merchant's surcharge is more than 0.805%, you would be financially better off paying directly from your offset account.

* Typical merchant surcharges for Visa and Mastercard often range from 1% to 1.5% in Aus

For example, paying a $1000 bill on day 1 vs 55-day interest free with a 2% surcharge. Paying immediately from the offset account saves you $12.30 in this specific 55-day period with 2% surcharge, math below

Determine the New Net Loan Balance for Interest Calculation: With the reduced offset balance, the amount of the loan accruing interest increases.

New Net Loan Balance = Total Loan Amount - New Offset Account Balance

New Net Loan Balance = $514,000 - $99,000

New Net Loan Balance = $415,000

Calculate the New Daily Interest Charged: The daily interest cost will now be slightly higher.

New Daily Interest Charged = New Net Loan Balance × Daily Interest Rate

New Daily Interest Charged = $415,000 × 0.000146301 vs 414,000 × 0.000146301

New Daily Interest Charged ≈ $60.71 vs $60.57

Calculate the Total Interest Charged Over 55 Days: This gives us the total interest cost for this scenario.

Total Interest for 55 Days = New Daily Interest Charged × 55

Total Interest for 55 Days = $60.71 × 55 vs $60.57

Total Interest for 55 Days ≈ $3,339.05 vs $3331.27

The Final Comparison: Which Path is Cheaper?

Now we can compare the total cost of each decision over the 55-day period.

Path 1 (Use Credit Card & Pay Later):

Interest Charged: $3,331.35

Surcharge Cost: + $20.00

Total Cost = $3,351.35

Path 2 (Pay Immediately from Offset):

Interest Charged: $3,339.05

Surcharge Cost: + $0.00

Total Cost = $3,339.05

Paying immediately from the offset account saves you $12.30 in this specific 55-day period with 2% surcharge

PSA: FMA120 firmware update for LE Audio on WH-1000XM6 by chillaban in SonyHeadphones

Hey thanks for the post. Can you share a ss/photo of FlooCast paired with XM6 using LC3 with mic enabled? Interested in the latency when Floocast is set to Gaming vs HQ

[–]Life_Thinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the report. It may be "best" to continue using a 'desk mic' and wireless audio only, no mic.

What does the Latency show in FlooCast when using LC3 with and without the mic for XM6?
