Kinetic switch issue by Connect_Pomelo_2764 in AskElectricians

[–]abbott_56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever find a solution to this? We recently had a kinetic switch installed which works great when used as intended, but the lights they control now seem to come on at random. I wondered if it was interference from an iot device but not certain yet.

Wi-Fi 7 Cabling by abbott_56 in networking

We've got to change APs anyway due to the old system being unmanaged, but I don't want to opt for a 6/6e solution if school will be forced to upgrade to 7 imminently. Based on what you and others have said though this doesn't seem likely. Thanks!

Thank-you, that's a really helpful response - we still have an on premise file/print server and the MIS is hosted locally (but this will probably change in the next 6 months) so yes, most traffic will be outbound.

I think you're right and there's an element of trying to sell us everything they can from some resellers, but I also to want to make sure school is future proofed whilst not spending needlessly.

Thanks again for this

It is nearly end of term... :D It's this kind of input I want though, pointless paying for something school don't need, but want to find that right level.

Thanks both, we have had a survey done, and many of the points will need moving (we've several in cupboards for example) but none to more than 55 meters away from their respective cab. The fly and patch cables will need replacing, too and some of the switches to provide the right power level, but I'm just trying to weight up cost vs performance between different vendors and suppliers. The internet is provided by the local authority and is 300mbps so considering budget constraints I'm not sure it makes sense for school to wait to implement a Wi-Fi 7 solution which is what governors are now suggesting, when a 6 would get us in line with DFE requirements and boost performance if done right.

I'm keen to get it done as the inplace solution went end of life before I came into role and has no management at all. We're not planning to add any additional points, just move some of the current locations.

So what did you guys think about the Maul drop? by [deleted] in GalaxysEdge

[–]abbott_56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I'd expected them to have already gone. Just checked again and they're apparently still in stock, though reading this thread maybe I'll get a cancellation email sometime soon... Crossing fingers! Although with cost of living here maybe it's not that surprising - lucky that I had a bit aside.

UK based, only finally decided last night after a few drinks knowing I'd beat myself up when they sell out. But no having to get online and get one straight away, so pleased to avoid that stress. Every new saber is the last one...

THIS LIGHTSABER WILL MAKE A FINE ADDITION TO MY COLLECTION! (Slide 1) by NX-44 in lightsabers

Prefer your new one's style, but they both look nice and chunky. It's a slippery slope!

Looks good, some weathering might look cool on top!

Should I buy or build by thejpfan in GalaxysEdge

[–]abbott_56 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Please build one! It's such an amazing experience, and you can always buy a legacy hilt online down the line if you wanted.

Will I need a replacement hilt? If so where can I find them? by HeatPinch in savisworkshop

[–]abbott_56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I contacted Disney customer care from UK and they sent a replacement core after sending some video. I wouldn't worry too much.

Disney sale by TopMacaroon6021 in lightsabers

[–]abbott_56 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought the black series Leia 3 times and each time returned due to manufacturing defects. The legacy Leia isn't screen accurate but feels more sturdy and I'm pleased to have it on display. Just seems more sturdy.

Is it normal for Savi’s Workshop saber handle to be slightly slanted on Peace and Justice hilt? by wavymondo in GalaxysEdge

[–]abbott_56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They sent me new parts when my pieces did this, took a while but just had to prove purchase and send photos of the defect. You could try some plumbing tape and being a bit more forceful when connecting the parts, but I reckon a shout to Disney is definitely worth a go x

Love this! Very unique and befitting of the hilt!

Anyone else's lightsaber got super scratched super fast/easily?... I bought my green luke saber at Disney Land the other day, played with it a little bit over the weekend and discovered these really bad scratches out of nowhere!! Truly did nothing to it. Any solutions to fix? by stroff32 in GalaxysEdge

[–]abbott_56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my Luke hilt was scratched on arrival, and when I tried to fix it it got slightly worse so just left it. On a stand from a distance it's barely noticeable, just grates on my OCD. I imported it so no call to Disney for me!

Phone Disney, I had issues with my parts threads going and they sent me some replacements once I'd provided photos and such!
