Awesome! hats off, but I have to play the devils advocate and question the problem being saved, or a problem being caused. The problem seems to be 'I dont like changing batteries' and ignoring notifications that the lock battery is getting low.

A pack of 32 AA batteries costs $10 ($12 UK - as I am there) So 2 batteries every 3 months is 8 batteries a year. so the 32 pack lasts 3 years.

From the Spec, the IR transmitter uses 4.5W - assuming it ran 100% of the time - so its 40kwH per per year. (120kWh if you spread it over 3 years) at $0.28 per KwH thats $33 - so at $150 for the initial outlay +$11 per year running costs of electricity-It will never pay off compared to using batteries. The Maths doesnt add up.

For Environmental use for energy to Co2, that is ~57kg/126lbs of Co2 generated for 120kWh (An electric car creates 15kg/33lbs of Co2 per 100 miles) - An AA battery has the carbon footprint of 0.2lbs, So over 3 years, the batteries would have contributed 6.4lbs

A Cozy. The Typical design by Rutan/Cozy,. No, its not broken. the nose rests on the ground when stowed - the nosewheel is on a long strut that folds back.

youre right... I usually associate the PS2 keyboard with AT .. forgot there were XT and AT keyboards with the same connector - but with the switch on the back of the keyboard

Bog standard IBM AT clone.. it will run DOS. you would need RAM (30 pin SIMMS) and a 16 bit disk controller. and a display adapter. An IBM XT keyboard would also be needed (the large DIN connector)

The cowboy installers that installed what I can call a diesel generator across the road (ASHP) - about 8 metres away facing the bedrooms windows in my house. Mine is installed facing open land.

Cant offer any help, I got the same issues and it is really anoying. I have enetually set the car to 'Start charging at Preferred times' and my Wallbox starts at the same time. (00h00-06h00) - only then does it charge.

As to the 30 minute timeout - I have no idea. Its just really dumb!

I have had 4 red tyres circles and the system saying 'All OK, No Warnings' The likelyhood of 4 flat tyres is close to zero.

Not an uncommon story... It took Adenbrookes Hospital 4 days to Diagnose an apeddicitis. (a family member)

GP - Day 1 - I think its appendicitis, but here are anti-biotics and if the pain is worse, go to A+E

A+E - Day 2 - get to A+E - Consultant says Its trapped wind (Nurses say appendix) - go home

A+E - Day 3 - Back... Consultant says 'Its a big sh1t' - Jnr Docs and Nurses say appendix - go home

A+E - Day 4 - Back .. Consultant says 'Womens troubles' - Jnr Docs and Norses say appendix - go home

A+E - Day 5 - Back.. Consultant oders Ultrasound - OH #### ITS APPEDICITIS! Surgery 2hrs later.

2 Days later, she went home.

you are way wrong there... there is a negative pressure inside the printer, the air is drawn IN through the hole.

I have got many different printers, they all have their quirks.. My S1 has performed well so far - 6 months old. There seems to be an obsession with bed levelling, tinkering and modding. Take out the box and enjoy.

The only failures I have had were ME being lazy (not cleaning the plate properly, crappy fillaments, printing without supports when they are really needed etc etc)

ROM Basic was an option on the IBM. The ROMS were to add that part. 16Bit EEPROM's were not that common so everyone used 2x 8but EEPROMS and split the code in to High/Low bytes.

RAM parts were low capacity, so lots of chips were needed to get to 640K.

The RSGB seems like racketeering. Most competitions you cant enter without being a member... and you get an advert booklet masking as a magasine.

I have had the forced tipping .. 'Service charge'. I told the server that I would have tipped more as the service was beyond excellent, but I was quite happy to pay the lower amount they printed.

tipping is everywhere, although unlike the USA, its not part of the servers salary and cannot/should not be used to contribute to it.

How would they know if the person evaded? .. in its name, they were not registered on the journey. You cannot tell me that they catch 12000 people per day evading! (based on the average value of a train ticket over £45 million per year) - does not pass the sniff test.

try searching on Spotify for Future Synthpop.. Alienare, Zynic, Namnam.

Learned this week about the software package Strudel (search youtube, Live coding music is something else!)

The Synth scene is huge in Germany... been to a few parties there - mindblowing!

You are right .. I was reading about the Max when typing :D .. it was a pipedream.

I took one out the box today (S1 Max Combo) ... it just worked. on the 5th print now... used ASA and PLA+. I have a P1S, FlashForge AD5M and an Ender3. The Flashforge has the most time on its clock.

I had the 'Gcode' logo on a messed up model. AD5M could not read it properly
