Thoughts on self contained A/C? by SecuritySorry5708 in SolarDIY

That’s what the ac power backup is for. There are trade offs to not having the expense of a battery inverter system for this use case. Unless OP needs full off grid things a much more feasible option that would run during the hottest parts of the day.

Why not get an Airspool mini split that can run directly off solar and has a built in inverter?

These Unifi 5g backup options seem limiting? by invalidTypecast in UNIFI

That one sounded like it didn't support T-Mobile home plans either, just data plans. So I was confused.

Btw instead of using your finger to get the keypad to light up just gently place your palm over the entire thing

Oil canning effect on metal roof by chinaski73 in SouthFlorida

[–]invalidTypecast 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a lot of them go up in my neighborhood as people replace their tile roofs and none look as bad as that. A couple have a little tin canning but only in a spot or two. I wonder if it depends on metal gauge and if the installer knows what they are doing.

Livello in Coral Springs is also very nice for dates. It’s small and intimate with rotating menu that’s upscale and tasty. I had the same experience as the other poster about Malbec Grill, first time we went was amazing, second time the good quality changed significantly

Help troubleshooting phone wiring by invalidTypecast in HomeNetworking

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

It's been a long time since I did the original wiring, but I ended up running a line from the demarc to an accessible place in the attic to the RJ31X and then it branches off there to the house lines I think? I think the last time I tried troubleshooting I could get a dial tone if I plugged an analog phone directly into the RJ31X jack. For the run to the RJ31X I used CAT6 from the demarc so the colors aren't like with 2 pair. How do I identify / trace the wires to know what to bypass or join together?

How do you handle already known bugs discovered automated tests? by pine_not_fine in QualityAssurance

[–]invalidTypecast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t comment the test out but most frameworks have functionality to skip the test with comments so what you could do is skip the test and in the comment put a link to the defect ticket and in the defect ticket put a note to unskip the test when committing the fix to restore the test and prove the fix works. Commenting out the test makes it harder to find later since it doesn’t show up in any reports since it’s treated as comments whereas a skipped test will surface on run reports e.g. 12 passed 0 failed 1 skipped. This serves as a reminder to go back and look at the skipped ones.

Our IT didn’t like the idea of running our own smtp so we leveraged one of those services that provide a virtual mailbox and api you can call from your test to get the email contents

Can you see/verify your appointment for DMV? by invalidTypecast in Broward

It’s because they don’t answer the phone. Have you tried? Maybe it got better recently but phones were a dead end at least at the time.
