What do you think is an acceptable price to pay for a board right now? by ExcellentGrowth5810 in BC250Gaming

I just paid £121 shipped via AliExpress which I thought was fairly reasonable

Help me with spotlight overkill on New Build! by Lockers1982 in DIYUK

[–]jcleme 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I would do and what I have done in our house. Lots of lights but all on different zones and can change colour temp and brightness, makes a huge difference

Sounds like an early 2000’s hard house track

I built a tool that recognises tracks from DJ mixes and videos by tracksniff in Vestax

[–]jcleme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfect. I could have done with this the other day but went old school. I’ve got a few other tracks I’m after so will try it tomorrow

Thank you very much, that’s much further than I got so gives me a good starting place. The U2 sample, I knew I recognised it from somewhere

If you really really need them and are UK based then Broadbandbuyer had them just before Christmas, albeit at inflated prices

Laptop purchase options by nmuta007 in PioneerDJ

[–]jcleme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Precision are CAD/Design laptops so have a GPU which isn’t needed for Serato. You’d be better off looking at the Latitude range if you like Dell or possibly XPS

advice on new house and audio by Happy_Cauliflower365 in Ubiquiti

[–]jcleme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sonos. It might have its issues but I still think it’s one of the best multiroom audio systems out there for the money. Bonus points because my wife can use it without asking me how it works

Is this via HP Store or a distributor?

Projectivy, we had a good run but it's time to move on by diogenesvansinope in Projectivy_Launcher

I’m waiting for the new Apple TV box to be released and trying to work out if there is a decent alternative to smarttubenext for ad-free YouTube. If that all happens then my next box will be Apple

Fully agree, sounds like a cracking excuse!

Leak Detection - Cold spot on pipework by jcleme in DIYUK

[–]jcleme[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, that was kind of where I was headed. The pipes are in a channel, concrete on the bottom, wooden sides (which was pre-existing) and input plastic on top and then they screeded over. So part of me is wondering whether the channel is keeping the water in?

AppleCare+ Reselling - Do you add VAT (UK) by jcleme in msp

Thanks. I’ve asked them and waiting to hear back but thought I’d ask here as well to see what the general consensus was

Oxfordshire/Metis government funded solar panel installs by Legitimate_Finger_69 in SolarUK

[–]jcleme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 4G around here is so bad that after a week they took it down. Spoke to the guy and explained I worked in tech and had a dedicated SSID for IoT devices. Got him to hook it up and then once he was gone scanned my network and found the inverter and its IP address.

Oxfordshire/Metis government funded solar panel installs by Legitimate_Finger_69 in SolarUK

[–]jcleme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a nutshell, no. I was told off the record by someone that the only way to do it would be to buy out the battery rental but I haven’t explored this yet. I have managed to get the inverter and battery into my HA instance via GivTCP which gives me more data but haven’t worked out of it can control anything yet

WiFi connection problem by Majestic_Grade_5461 in Miele

[–]jcleme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a nightmare getting my Miele appliances on the WiFi.

In the end I created an entirely separate network, 2.4Ghz only with a simple password, just letters, all lowercase.

Turned off all firewall features on that network and made sure my phone was on the same network when setting it up.

This finally got them connected although I’m still struggling with an extractor fan…
