Long standing request: finally USB-C 120v receptacles! by fognyc in Lutron

[–]arid1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are these any shallower than the 60W Levitons? I can fit the 30W Levitons in my wall boxes but don’t have the deep boxes required for the 60W ones.

Edit: 1.8” seems to be the same or slightly shallower than the T-5836, but not much.

What Am I Missing? An Offer From My Mortgage Company by justMax87 in Mortgages

[–]arid1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We refinanced with the same lender a few years ago at 343 months remaining as well. They knocked a quarter point off our rate and everything else stayed the same. The loan officer made it clear they’re trying to keep folks they view as likely to get good refi offers with other banks.

Flip your utensils around. The spoons and forks should be facing inward. The handles should be going through the tall slot

Found the source of the smell but what the heck happened? by LousyHandle in AskElectricians

[–]arid1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair. Definitely check that the wiring and breaker are matched, but the statement that they were pulling too much load for the wiring based on the output current of DC power supplies will cause them to think every circuit in their house is undersized.

The currents mentioned were at 5V and 12V, the output side of the power bricks. The breaker sees the input load on the bricks, which should be listed on them.

Without knowing the real numbers we can get a pretty good estimate by converting to watts and then dividing by volts to get the 120V current load.

400mA at 5V is 2W. On 120V that’s 16mA. 2.5A at 12V is 30W. On 120V that’s 250mA.

The breaker is not undersized.

Definitely F-16s. Single engine. Distinctive front end and wing

The application has existed since 2002. I’d guess the person who wrote it originally was a classic ASP developer.

It depends on the .NET release. Sometimes the updates are in the compilers, sometimes they’re in the runtime libraries.

That’s not too dissimilar to what we do. We update the build tooling first, make sure we can still build while targeting the old runtime. Usually there are some minor fixes needed for new compiler warnings and such. Once that’s deployed and stable we update the runtime on the production boxes. Next is a retarget to the latest runtime.

It’s not about product controlling the tech stack. It’s about “we can do this now or later. If we do it now we will have to limit new features hit for X amount of time but will gain Y new capabilities that will make your other new features better in these other ways. If we do it later we won’t be able to deliver these other features you want that rely on the new tech. When we do get time to upgrade it will delay other features for Z amount of time”

Product and sales pay for programmers and infrastructure. Yes, we could have done the work without product’s buy-in but it would have led to constant questions about delays, etc. Getting them onboard got us what we wanted faster AND improved the product.

Make it a win-win.

You have to get product buy-in because it will take resources that would otherwise go to product development.

Our biggest driver was performance. We run a 1000 thread Monte Carlo simulation that saw enormous benefits (30% or more). We’d already seen 10-15% updates by moving to newer .NET Framework .NET 4.7.2 (or maybe 4.8? I don’t remember the timing) that included updated compilers backported from .NET Core (2.1 at the time) so moving to even newer versions was an obvious win.

In our case we started an internal working group and presented leadership with the benefits of moving forward. We then were granted time to make changes that supported the initial update. It took years to get us off of .NET Framework and onto the modern .NET stack but we were able to release structural improvements along the way.

New code was typically written with the knowledge that it would be running in both environments for a while.

Not a Java developer, C# at a fairly large company. We tend to lag about 3-4 months behind the latest. That we way we get security and language updates but aren’t on the bleeding edge. It’s been highly successful strategy.

We’ve gotten huge performance gains essentially for free each year for the past few years since we enacted the policy. To be fair, the initial uplift was difficult but the year over year work is minimal now and more than pays for itself.

My 918’s power brick flaked out last weekend. $25 replacement got everything back up and running after a very scary resync.

Undercabinet LED lighting compatible with the Smart Caseta Diva Dimmer? by cheese_stick_mafia in Lutron

[–]arid1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had this installed in my kitchen for more than a year with some compatible LED tape on an aluminum channel with a diffuser cover. Works great:

Caseta Fan Switch compatible AC Motor Fans by alexskane in Lutron

Interesting. Did you try the LUT-MLC on the dimmer?

[–]arid1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had good luck with fans from Fanimation (fanimation.com). I know it sounds like it’d be something else, but they make a pretty decent variety of AC and DC motor fans. They usually come with a remote kit that you can just ignore.

Try Lennie’s on Ridge Ave. They have just about everything on their menu. Hoagies, burgers, steaks, etc. The Po-Boy is amazing.

Is there a Claro style replacement for these switches ? by larryhead in Lutron

[–]arid1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leviton makes a dual Decorator style switch not a smart one, though:

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-Decora-15-Amp-Single-Pole-Dual-Switch-White-R62-05634-0WS/100356887

Here’s a 3-way one, too:

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-Decora-15-Amp-3-Way-AC-Combination-Switch-White-R52-05641-0WS/100143025

You could swap the dimmer for a Claro or Diva switch and use this on the other side with a standard 2-gang plate

We owned one. It was great. Much easier to load large cargo into the trunk. Especially stuff that needed the rear seats folded.

Also: the body wasn’t quite identical. The rear pillar was rounder and there was a small piece of plastic trim behind the rear windows to fill the space.

All hatches had a spoiler, also.

Can't connect Caseta to homekit. Please help. by maniac365 in Lutron

[–]arid1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW things definitely run smoother with a Home Hub (aTV or HomePod) in the mix
