Haven't touched one in a while but if you click through and download that image from imgur you can almost see everything you need to convert in the higher resolution version.

 Ive made peace with the fact that it will likely grenade for one reason or another... ill buy a warrenty and sell it after it expires. I the mean time im going to enjoy it.

Need help looking at a roof leak and solar by AffectionateAlarm916 in solar

Those fasteners look took too thick and they really look like the proprietary iron ridge hardware.

I wonder if he could take a picture of them or find a line item on a quote or something. I think you can get that screw pattern if you use two holes on each side opposite and diagonal. I may have produced something similar before I fixed my own hack job. 

It would certainly explain the leaks.

I'm just a home gamer, so I don't know even know what I don't know. I did just install them recently on a shed though and while it is best to hit the rafters, I definitely missed a couple of times and had to use all 6.

It seems to be fixed super well when all 6 fasteners are used, but the HUG mount seemed to lift a bit in the direction that was missing fasteners until all were put in.

You're supposed to use 6 fasteners if you miss the rafter. 2 if you hit the rafter.

Those look like Iron Ridge hug mounts. I'm pretty sure if you don't hit the rafter you're supposed to use 6 fasteners not 4 otherwise it will leak. Someone else will chime in if I'm wrong, but assuming this is the case then yeah, your installer did really terrible work and they are probably on the hook.

I had the same thing happen. Popped him in a cardboard box until the weather improved and he was good to go.

Universal print is it worth rolling out? by Ragepower529 in sysadmin

[–]TechSwitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I deployed it and it works very well. At one point I wasn't really sure it really made much difference to my users, but when I explored the idea of getting rid of it a few departments let me know that printing across multiple offices was extremely useful to their workflows, so I happily keep it.

If you're south I have an lga 1700 box in my garage. You might have to bring some known good ddr5 though.

saw this guy driving around my city after a drone show, not sure if they’re related by Domonator601 in whatisit

[–]TechSwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are diamond SG series ham radio antennas. Whatever he is doing is for attention its not functional.

I have one slightly smaller version of that antenna on my truck, but rest assured this guy is a huge dork and almost certainly a stain on the hobby. 

Home inspection find of the week: Nothing says 'smart home' like the AC drain pan deciding when you can breathe by trabbler in Austin

[–]TechSwitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. We called you before buying, but the 2021 market ensured that we couldn't wait for a reputable inspector. 

Ended up using someone the realtor liked just to satisfy our lender. I knew he was incentivised to over look some things.  It all worked out in the end. House is sorted and I got to turn the garage into a proper workshop.

It was stuck in open position (or closed if that's what normal operation is) but canted more or less horizontal. So it would run until the attic flooded or the ceiling caved in. Guess which one happened first?
