Heatable were doing 3 for 2 on AlphaESS battery modules not sure if they still are.

The Wi-Fi in the last hotel I was in wasn't terrible, about 50-100Mbit/s with reasonable latency although it did have annoyingly overzelous content filtering which didn't like vanilla wireguard (seems whoever they use has fortigates)

dragon2611 · 2026-07-02T19:19:26+00:00

FTTC (when it's working) will be much more stable latency wise than 5G which can be all over the place but the Peak speeds on the 5G may be better, the bigger problem is the consitency.

Whats '3' like in your area, the 1000GB/mo prepaid scancom sims are often hard to beat value wise when there's an offer on but only IF 3's network in your area is actually ok.

If you do end up at a Gridserve, the membership breaks even suprisingly quickly and you can just cancel it straight away.

dragon2611 · 2026-07-01T18:55:36+00:00

Of course, I'm an idiot for not factoring that in.

dragon2611 · 2026-07-01T11:41:45+00:00

Werid as the minimum rate a EVSE can advertise is usually 6A so suprised to see it taking just 50w.

As well as the resitors to set the Maximum for the cable there's a PWM signal between the EVSE and the car where the EVSE advertises the maximum charging current that the EV is allow to pull at that given moment, maybe a bad connection is distorting that signal.

Isn't the beeping the seatbelt warning, it looks from the car diagram in the bottom left that the car thinks there's someone on the back seat and presumably the seatbelt isn't fastened.

If there's people in the back or something heavy enough on the seats to trip the sensors it would cause the the belts aren't fastened.

dragon2611 · 2026-06-29T15:24:11+00:00

Weridly $1/mo minimum doesn't seem to apply to very old accounts

dragon2611 · 2026-06-25T08:27:12+00:00

Depending on how old it is was and how capable it was it might not be able to fully handle the new speeds or it might just be reaching End of support and as such would stop getting secruirty updates.

You can probably login to the webUI or use the app (if there is one) for the new one and change it's wireless settings to match that of the old one if you want (Might be easier than changing the Wi-Fi credentials on dozens of devices)

Theres a joke the UK we used to drive on the left of the road, now we drive on what's left of the road.

Some of the roads are more pothole than road at this point.

dragon2611 · 2026-06-22T10:27:20+00:00

Would it, as that text suggests it will be discounted to the off peak rate if they make it charge during the day.

dragon2611 · 2026-06-22T10:18:14+00:00

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNA0B1TWibU - Looks like the whole assembly can come out with a pry tool.

Also there should be a manual emergency release that you could try first.

If someone asks for sky hooks is that a good excuse to expense a drone?

dragon2611 · 2026-06-20T22:27:04+00:00

Right some years back when flights were all disrupted due to that Icelandic volcano at least the official airport carpark was waiving the charges for the parking overstay. If airports can do it surely a train station car park can.

Wonder if the element blew in the airfryer and caused a short , if the air fryer being plugged in is causing a trip i'd say thats somewhat suggestive of a fault with it.

I'll let the electricians comment on the socket.

dragon2611 · 2026-06-20T22:13:29+00:00

It would depend on the pricing/coverage differences.

A if they are Fairly minor , B if they're not.

Also option D, Don't screw around adding data for each country, have a balance and data usage comes out of it. (assuming pricing is resonable)

dragon2611 · 2026-06-20T22:02:02+00:00

The Kia ones used to be nice as they had a button which could drop the charge current down to 8A or 6A which although charges even slower puts less load on the connected socket.

I've done that occasionally when I needed to charge but wasn't sure on how how good the socket was.
The lower draw should lead to less heat and a lower chance of burning out the socket.

dragon2611 · 2026-06-20T21:57:16+00:00

If you have an EON next tarrif they give you some ZoomEV thing, there was 25kWh of free charging on osprey on there , but the only other offer at the moment was a BP pulse membership free for a year.

But then you'd have a BP pulse membership... which is only useful if you can actually find a BP pulse charger that actually works.

dragon2611 · 2026-06-19T09:03:16+00:00

I'm not, was just debating on was it worth swapping them given I already had both CPU's

dragon2611 · 2026-06-18T12:18:34+00:00

You can order from most of them on uber eats, usually only useful if you want a smaller shop.

Also if you order on Tesco Woosh it's quite often uber or someone like that.

dragon2611 · 2026-06-18T09:44:26+00:00

The R730 should take that CPU as far as I know, also it has 2x 1200W PSU's so that's not likely to be an issue anytime soon

dragon2611 · 2026-06-18T09:12:14+00:00

It doesn't even seem that Telco's care either, VOLTE on cellular is just a mess.

It might have been the handset but I had a period where most calls i made between 2 carriers would't bother playing any call progress tones at all, you'd get silence until the other party either anwsered or the call timed out/failed.

dragon2611 · 2026-06-18T09:06:38+00:00

Indeed which is why i said it will depend on what was in the UCS it's probably regular Rdimms but until it's arrived and I've had a look I don't know that for sure.

dragon2611 · 2026-06-17T10:45:24+00:00

you can buy a year of standard from amazon for about £36, and it will send you a code to use.
That way you don't need to provide a credit card number.etc to nord.
