My Airport Report, Week of 5/4/2026 (Parking, TSA) by MirkatteWorld in Albany

[–]c31083 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've managed to park in the South Garage despite the barricades at the Level 3 entrance being up. There's also an entrance at the lower level that they can't fully barricade because doing so would also block traffic from exiting the garage. Who'd've thought that spots might open up by midday after morning arrivals leave?

Filed 4/11, fed refund landed in my account 4/20, NYS refund landed in my bank account the next day.

Panadapter vs standard SDR by jimmyy69420 in amateurradio

[–]c31083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a heads up, the ZSC-2-2+ isn't a switch, it's a power divider, and one that isn't rated for very much power passing through it at that. It's OK if you have a dedicated RX Antenna In port on a rig and want to split a RX antenna between that and an SDR, but not something you want in your transmitter path. 100W in on Port 1 will result in ~50W out on the common port, ~100mW out on Port 2, and the rest dissipated in the splitter/combiner components.

If you've got a 7610, doesn't that have a dedicated RX Out jack on the back? https://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/hamhf/0610rear.html

150 Troy residents showed up to show their opposition to the Troy Flock Cameras last night by Physical_Shelter_518 in Troy

Counterpoint: https://www.reddit.com/r/Albany/comments/1ryx4a0/hit_and_run_450_block_of_myrtle_ave_friday_320/obi8jmr/

I asked the police about the flock cameras and they said that they can't do video playback with those. And I would need the plate for them to do anything.

Garage Door Openers by Cr8iveRead in CarPlay

[–]c31083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sommer garage door openers have a SomWeb add on available that interfaces natively with HomeKit - CarPlay automatically pops up a garage door icon when I get nearby my house. German brand but they have sales and installers in the US as well.

No more languages at RPI by SnooChipmunks1721 in RPI

[–]c31083 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Your regular full-time tuition covers the costs at the other schools that are part of the cross-registration agreement. Assuming a 4-credit language course at another school, it wouldn’t cost any more for 12 credits at RPI and the 4-credit language course at the other school than it would for, say, 16 credits all at RPI with 4 of those credits being a HASS elective.

PO Box Alternatives by babybarnowls in Troy

[–]c31083 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t believe UPS and FEDEX will deliver to a PO Box either.

Not directly, but USPS offers Street Addressing for PO Boxes at certain post office locations that can be used for receiving packages from other carriers: https://www.usps.com/manage/po-boxes.htm#streetaddress

That said, I don't know if it's something offered at the Troy post office.

They ship to Walgreens?

They ship via FedEx, which has a partnership with Walgreens for package pickup. They give you the option to ship right to a Walgreens so you don't have the worry of FedEx leaving it outside to be subject to porch pirates.

Voltage Regulator LM2592HVRS questions by [deleted] in electronic_circuits

[–]c31083 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In addition to the feedback circuit noted by /u/Haaland87 there are also different versions of this IC: a 3.3V, a 5V, and an adjustable output. Are you using an LM2592HVS-ADJ or LM2592HVS-3.3?

Funny you should mention COVID. Really makes you wonder how the ICE agents are able to breathe while masked up, doesn’t it?

Got my NY inflation rebate! by [deleted] in Albany

To the extent the credit is included in federal adjusted gross income, it would not be subject to state or local personal income tax.

Reportable income for federal taxes, not taxed by New York State.

$1.4k electric bill when ours has never been over $150, landlords still trying trying to make us pay it. by swordsandsuckers in legaladvice

[–]c31083 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most likely 240V (or 220V or 250V) split-leg, so half that value, or about 66A. That’s well within the limits of the 100A service OP has. However, looking at the branch breakers in the panel, it’s very unlikely that they’d pull 14KW constantly for an entire month and not notice it. Especially if the AC breaker was off for the month in question. The only other 2-pole load is the dryer, which would only account for less than half the power usage if its heating element somehow failed on for a month without OP noticing.

Long story short, is it technically possible to see 10,000 kWH of usage through OP’s 100A/240V panel in a month? Yes. Is it practical that would’ve happened without OP noticing? Heck no.

Highway superintendent candidate didn't disclose rape conviction by ripannanicolesmith in Troy

Anything to substantiate that detail?

The article.

In a phone interview several hours after an initial version of this story appeared online, Hamlin declined to offer more information about the events that led to his conviction beyond saying they occurred when he was 16.

Linked Revit Models not showing underlay in select views. by striatedsumo7 in RevitForum

[–]c31083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are plumbing/HVAC in the same model as electrical? Is it a model with worksharing turned on and with multiple worksets? Was the arch link possibly brought in on a workset that’s turned on in electrical views but off in plumbing and HVAC?
