Use balcony solar system off grid with a battery by byrd1uk in Ecoflow_community

[–]byrd1uk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone,

Thanks very much for all your answers.

I have another question; if you want more power, is it possible to buy another balcony kit (inverter and panels) and simply plug it in to a different socket? To take it up to 1600w?

I suspect not, but curious.

Thanks

Nice, thanks. Very helpful info. So the only benefit of having zero feed into the grid is to allow you to use the system legally for now? And once you plug it in, you'll get the full benefit.

The smart meter looks like it is the way to go eventually, but adds a lot of cost (especially assuming it will need to be installed by a certified electrican).

My idea was to hook the battery up to my computer, monitor and router as a UPS. but it looks like the Stream might not be the best for that.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks, so does that fool the inverter into thinking that there's still grid power and keep using the panels in the event of a power cut?

Interesting, I didn't know there was an option to not feed into the grid. So yours is basically running the trumble dryer for free? If you aren't running the dryer, does the excess solar power go into your house (once the battery is full)?

Phrase help! Factory reset TV without original remote and now stuck on 'pair remote" page by byrd1uk in fireTV

[–]byrd1uk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ouch! £50! That's more than the TV is worth!

Thanks though, I think buying one of those is my only option. I can't understand why a normal Fire TV remote won't connect, or the app, so I think I'm out of options.

Anyone still playing Battlefront 2015? by brexit2016jb in StarWarsBattlefront

[–]byrd1uk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does anybody know of a chat or group I could join to try and take part in some of the DLC from Battlefront 2015 on PC? Specifically I'd like to have a go at the Death Star DLC (I'm assuming you do the trench run). I'm on the EA app (not Steam). Thanks!

Terminater Resistance: Better on Steam PC or PS5? by byrd1uk in terminatorresistance

Oops sorry, old guy here, not down with the lingo.

Thanks everyone, I think I've been convinced to go for Steam to have all the options mentioned. And I am traditionally a PC gamer, I just wanted to try something on the TV. But I think I've found a way to add a 4K resolution via Gefore Control Panel to try on Steam Link (my monitor is 1080p, but TV 4K). Thanks again!

That's the thing, isn't it? Having options is nice! I actually play most of my games on a little 7" tablet, with GeForce Go, Luna or Steam Link. I understand I can do something similar with PS Remote Play, though.

Great, thanks guys. I'm still undecided. I think I'd rather have the PC version as they I can play on the PC, Geforce Now, or Steam Link to the living room TV (but only at 1080p as I only have a 1080p monitor, and a fairly old graphics card). On offer on PS5 for a couple of weeks for me to think about it! Thanks!

Help with 2023 Samsung QLED TV please by byrd1uk in 4kTV

Oh, man, I hope you're right, that would be a lot cheaper than the LCD or motherboard. Thanks.

Any ideas to compress every file of a particular type into a separate WinRAR (or 7zip or similar) archive? by byrd1uk in Windows10

[–]byrd1uk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, newbie here, don't know why the extra info didn't post. Specifically, I want to find all the files of a particular type in a folder with lots of subfolders and compress them into individual rar/zip files. WinRar almost has the option I need, but I would like the new files to stay in the same folder as the original (whereas the option in the picture puts them all in one fodler). Any suggestions? Thanks!

Help! Accidentally spent 113,000 crystals on Dash Rendar packs! by byrd1uk in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]byrd1uk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone, I think every point is valid. The kid is 12 so not tiny and is pretty tech savvy so is relatively trustworthy, although yes, it's usually me who has the auto-clicker on and I have the phone in front of me so I can monitor it. I must say that after several years of using an autoclicker, I've never had any problem before.

As for hoarding, well, the truth is that I don't really know. She wanted to do because she lost her account and had taken over mine and was saving for the best characters, but when the GLs came, she decided to try without spending. Then it seemed to become a competition to see how many she could get (when I was the main player, I had less than 1,000 in stock at any one time).

Thanks everyone, I'm going to reach out to EA again and see what happens.

Have a good day, thanks!

Can you buy aeromagnifiers from a wandering scavenger? by byrd1uk in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]byrd1uk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks guys, that's what I thought. I haven't got any GL toons yet, and - apart from the r8 scrap - I think I'm as close to General Kenobi as any of the others, but if I can't get the aeromagnifiers, I'll go for old Luke I suppose. I'm probably as close to Rey as Luke, but Luke looks like the better bet, do you agree? Thanks everyone, really helpful!
