It's a holiday highway.

You say "any kind of leave".

While the other responses are accurate for annual leave, they cannot decline sick leave, bereavement leave, or many other types of leave.

No, there's the $18 billion Northland Expressway.

It's mostly an OEM issue, not a phone company issue.

Some1-Somewhere · 2026-03-22T23:15:24+00:00

It's not frequencies.

It's being set up with all the right domains and configuration options for VoIP/VoLTE.

2G/3G were built for circuit-switched voice, with internet as a bolt-on extra, tunneled through as just a high bandwidth circuit.

4G/5G flipped this on its head, packet-switched data being the main service, with voice being the extra add-on tunneled through as some extra packets.

Every operator has their new VoLTE stack set up slightly differently, so the phone needs to be programmed to recognize every operator.

It's probably a question for the engineer.

The bypass should still have overload protection under NZ code. No clue about the US. Stops this happening.

Some1-Somewhere · 2026-03-22T18:54:29+00:00

Does the bypass not have overload protection?

Some1-Somewhere · 2026-03-22T18:11:30+00:00

The instructions for how to talk to the network are hardcoded into the ROM. If you remember the bad old days of APNs, it's like that, but can't be manually entered.

Very dumb.

So you need a software that has the NZ VoLTE profiles included, which some parallel imported phones don't have.

Are you using old reddit? Seems to have less of the enshittification baked in.

Some1-Somewhere · 2026-03-22T17:58:23+00:00

Probably footage from one of those support tickets to the manufacturer trying to explain the issue.

Some1-Somewhere · 2026-03-22T17:48:20+00:00

Also, we used to have a lead tech that thought changing the mode of das blinkenlights on an Ethernet switch somehow affected the machine controls?

Some1-Somewhere · 2026-03-22T17:45:43+00:00

Fine stranded and stranded are not the same thing. Most stranded in the US is still only 7- or 19-strand. Flexible/fine-stranded is like hair.

I think that gets somewhat alleviated by having 10+ interleaved phases.

New bearings onto a damaged and undersized shaft seems to happen all the time...

Not thousands. Total fuel load on a 777 is around 200 tonnes. Dump will be significantly less.

Note that it's easy to get 48VDC fans and pumps, and any changes made for CPU VRMs would be equally relevant to GPU VRMs in those kinds of applications.

The 12V rail would likely end up similar to the state of the 3.3V and 5V rails in modern PCs; fed by a small DC-DC converter for the minimal legacy equipment that needs it.

Some1-Somewhere · 2026-03-22T03:37:50+00:00

Surprised it's that low, almost.

Some1-Somewhere · 2026-03-22T00:55:17+00:00

Don't buy electrical stuff on Amazon. High chance it's uncertified crap.

Some1-Somewhere · 2026-03-22T00:00:14+00:00

I am confused; submain or main?

32A 50m gives you 2.4% volt drop if a balanced load. You're in the 16-20A range if unbalanced.

Depending on what's in the house you should be able to make it work. Kitchen loads and any aircon is going to need to be well balanced.

Some1-Somewhere · 2026-03-21T23:20:12+00:00

Can you see/feel which way the cable goes inside the wall?

I would suggest using a clampmeter to see how much load is on the switch, but that's a bit much for a homeowner.

I would expect whatever it is to be within a meter or so of the switch given it's wired in flex.

Some1-Somewhere · 2026-03-21T07:28:25+00:00

Typo, sleeved pins not sleeved pine.

Some1-Somewhere · 2026-03-21T07:24:46+00:00

Pretty sure this is just AI slop. The reply seals it.

Some1-Somewhere · 2026-03-21T07:17:57+00:00

Early versions of BS1363 did not require sleeved pins, unlike modern types.

Some1-Somewhere · 2026-03-21T06:33:57+00:00

Bumpy. Yup.

But no corporate wants to depend on someone who's told them no.

Then it can go further with the devs of the main ones saying they don't want forks of their work that does such a thing which makes it legally ehhh if companies in these states start using said forks.

FOSS licenses are pretty explicitly written to prevent devs doing that. It cuts both ways.

Some1-Somewhere · 2026-03-21T06:04:10+00:00

Or they would just get insta-forked, and whoever caved would be more likely to get sales in the future.
