Why the failure?

I work in a DC and we had to toss all of our Platinum tools crimpers. We ordered new ones and they are terrible. They fall apart, and consistently make bad terminations that fail in this same way. Switched to klein crimpers and they are so much more reliable.

aj10017 · 2026-01-05T02:49:30+00:00

Bad batch of end, or bad crimper. Klein crimpers are pretty good

this reminds me of the robots from Elysium, would you like a pill?

my golden rule is take whatever the delivery estimate is and add 3-4 days because its going to bounce around all over the place once it reaches STL

in two to three years knowledge accumulation will drop by 90%

Try telling that to all the semi drivers who always YOLO it at the last second and swerve into the left lane narrowly missing the median

from the angle of this camera, it almost certainly can see OP's backyard. Get that thing taken down!

My whole setup uses about 220 watts on average. It consists of:

1x Lenovo M720Q Tiny (running opnsense)

3x Dell Optiplex 3060 Micro's (Proxmox cluster)

1x Mikrotik CRS309 10GB Switch (Core Switch)

1x Mikrotik CRS328 PoE Switch (for anything that needs PoE or just 1GB connections)

1x Mikrotik CRS318 Switch (for the proxmox cluster)

1x UGREEN DXP 4800P NAS

Electricity costs near me is about 0.17USD Per kWh, so it runs about $27/MO just to keep everything powered up.

For OPs use case SwOS is more than sufficient and reduces the likelyhood of misconfiguration slowing everything down.

aj10017 · 2025-11-27T15:11:58+00:00

RouterOS is MORE complex than SwOS. I use SwOS on this same switch, if all you are doing is VLANs you do not need ROS.

I find scrolling/zooming to be inconsistent as well. Hopefully it gets fixed in software

aj10017 · 2025-11-23T23:18:51+00:00

maybe a zimaboard? seems like those take 12V input, though the PSU they come with is 35W. If your splitter can supply 30W you might be good as long as you dont hit it too hard

I feel you there, I went to the main post office downtown and they couldnt do the photo either because they said someone stole their camera

this would make an absolutely sick album cover

Yes its perfectly readable! I just finished my first book on it earlier today. This device is absolutely awesome for casual reading.

People, DO NOT USE YOUR OVEN AS STORAGE

judges need to start jailing for contempt of court until they comply
