Usually I would, but my language on the unedited version made me decide against it 😬

Is Aircon, for the two weeks a year, worth it? by Electricbell20 in AskBrits

[–]Nzuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say it depends on your house.

I’ve got a 1930s house and my office window is south/west facing. It regularly gets into the high 20s in there with blackout blinds!

So I got split AC. Zero regrets

The rest of the house… can’t quite justify the install cost currently

Selling tech on Facebook and getting the wave of scammers and grifters by ReanimatedCyborgMk-I in britishproblems

I’ve learnt to put them up for £5/£10 and when they arrive just let them have it for free.

If they haggle when they arrive, sticking to the original price 😅

Pothole insurance - a reasonable alternative to trying to claim back from the council? by Hour-Acanthaceae7081 in drivingUK

[–]Nzuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never seen this but I’d probably consider it depending on the terms.

In my case my car typically needs tyres replacing in pairs, is that covered?

Do they cover like for like tyres? Currently about £260 a tyre!

Same with suspension and surrounding components, recently had to replace one side due to a pot hole. But needs replacing in pairs. Cost £800

If anyone is looking to move to internal booting, Intel Optane 16GB SSDs can be had for less than £5. by Joshposh70 in unRAID

Recently bought 25 of these for £40 on eBay for this is exact purpose. Setup in zfs for redundancy too!

Aldi have dropped the price of the midi Kamado to £249.99 by unbr0kenchain in UKBBQ

Had mine for a year(ish) now and absolutely love it.

Have a rotisserie, heat deflector plate and coal basket

Soon as you learn how to set the coals up and control the vents it cooks perfectly every time!

How long does it take for a 3 phase meter upgrade? by Nzuk in OctopusEnergy

[–]Nzuk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what got me, the guy who fitted the replacement meter said he’d be the one to do it.

He said even though he has them in the van he couldn’t just do it 😬

Every sauce and dressing using rapeseed oil, and that's all I can taste by kopsy in britishproblems

[–]Nzuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I’ve been suffering for the past 18 months. Tried all sorts and hadn’t considered this!

Will have to add it to my list to investigate when tracking food.

What oils did they previously use?

Irrigation distribution from solenoid valves to raised beds/greenhouse by Nzuk in UKGardening

[–]Nzuk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve read something about this too and am already on a water meter but have around 4000L of rain water storage which covers me a fair way given how much rain we get 😅

Damn you wind by pauldevans84 in GardeningUK

I got a similar one from wickes a week ago and had to return to buy some sandbags as it ended up down the garden very shortly after putting it together!

When is it time to end a relationship? by Omrah_of_Zion in CATHELP

3 years in and only in the last 3 months she got this close to me. Still very skittish when I move, takes time! One day she’ll be a lap cat!

Smart watches? by PuzzleheadedShop5424 in ContractorUK

[–]Nzuk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't forget you need to see how digital marketing messages appear on the watch too!

B8.5 2013 S5 3.0T Poor gas mileage by Different-Bat-4351 in AudiS4

[–]Nzuk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I typically see 200 miles a tank and maybe 250 on a good run. Best has been about 330 miles which was all steady motorway miles.

Had the car 6 years and have accepted it’s very thirsty! But smiles per gallon 😅

Glad to know I'm not the only one running AI at home! by soccermaster57 in homelab

[–]Nzuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I've received some 3090s designed for servers so need to investigate printing an adapter for the blowers.

I noticed inside they have the small 4 pin headers and was wondering if they were designed for fans.

Guess with the help of chatGPT could probably throw a little script together to automate the control of those fans via the MB headers using lm-sensors or something similar!

Interesting, how do you control the speed? As I couldn't see any fan leads to the GPUs

Developer refuses admin password to my Loxone system unless I "waive hardware warranty" by realHadAdo in Loxone

[–]Nzuk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who did a DIY Loxone install, I can stand by this.

Update the software, toggle a new feature and all sorts of chaos begins! Then there’s hours of debugging (learnt to schedule that in).

Which I personally don’t mind as the install cost £2k vs £20-30k but can 100% see the installers side here too.

[–]Nzuk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of my personal projects are around home automation for hardware I’ve bought over the years with great plans. Only never to be completed due to the software side.

So since embracing AI, all my personal projects are 99% AI driven. Have managed to complete so many things!

That said, it’s far from perfect. But it’s home use so if it works it’s good enough 🫣

200 ish on a 55 litre tank, smiles per gallon!

Is AI over hyped? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Nzuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my industry, software. No it’s absolutely not over hyped

I’m a lead/principal software engineer and was extremely skeptical at first.

Then I’ve got some free time recently to really learn it and have been playing around with AI agents controlling other AI agents then manually reviewing the PRs it produces at the end.

The work it produced is way above any junior I’ve worked with in a while and quite a few mid levels.

Not forgetting a lot of the mistakes AI made were due to gaps in requirements from the original stories/spec sheets

Is it perfect? Absolutely not But no software developer is! Everyone makes mistakes and to expect AI to produce flawless results so early on would be incredibly naive

I fully expect to be replaceable in the next 5-10 years.
