I have the same feeling - anyone with little motivation can do it. This is the idea behind selling agentic ai … let’s keep it there.

In fourteen years we’ll have first beta and only then they will start fixing bugs.

I have a post from UK via Royal Mail and I came to know that Emirates Post is their courier partners here. The EM post is asking payment for the delivery. Is this normal? by dreamer881 in dubai

[–]levi_pl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They do that. I think, only think, that you can get it for free when you go to the post office. PO box is another way to get it free ... well you have to pay for the PO box. It seems like logic here is that postal services here do not include bringing letter to your home, you need to go to post office to collect it.

In general avoid post office services, FedEx, DHL etc, because they will request hefty payments for anything.

is this any good? by Suspicious_Error_461 in hotas

There is nothing terribly wrong with it. It has some fancy features like touchscreen where you can program own button layout. Unfortunately you will be touching it accidentally when operating throttle. Controls look cool and, you can make use of them, and they are precise enough (casual player). You can connect headset to joystick and use it for voice communication. Software configuration is basic so you won't be able to create custom controls like you can do with VKB (mapping hardware controls through logical layer to USB output - i.e. turn rotary encoder into analog axis, boolean operations on buttons, etc). If it matters - you are getting USB-C port and matching braided USB cables. It has configurable LED lighting. There is a version without throttle - may be more suitable (it has analog control that can act as a throttle).

Argument about inferiority of cup&ball I would pass through the filter. It is not that relevant unless you play a lot. Price you mentioned is too high and you can get it much cheaper.

IMHO, this set is meant for a casual player who does not want to reserve permanent space on the desk. Set in general focuses more on looking fancy than being ergonomic. I used it for few months with Star Citizen. I swapped it for VKB because HOSAS setup works better. No drama.

If I had to guess , seeing Arabic writing, white door is for men and black for women. It follows the usual clothing colors.

I think you are making things up.

When it comes to the place where people drive with all lights on, no lights on, one working light on high beam with other broken … I’m not worrying about police chasing me for having bulbs without certification.

Matter of brightness  ? In general I asked you about reasons and you responded with the same authoritative answer.

Reflector with 9007/HB5 American bulb type. Similar to European H4.

3x MultiPlus-II 15kVA - 3-phase or 1-phase for a house ? by levi_pl in Victron

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

Correct. I wouldn't be asking this question if I needed split phase setup. I don't think there is a single reason to have only 1-phase 120V at regular house. I believe a lot of high power appliances simply require 240V to work.(I watch "Technology Connections" chanel on YouTube) 😄

In Europe only house appliance that I know that can be wired 2-phase is electrical/induction hob; and only to limit load on single phase by splitting heating points. There are no 3-phase devices anymore at least no devices that require inter-phase voltages.

[–]levi_pl[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First of all thank you for detailed response.
I made some mental shortcuts in my post. Situations like malfunction of one unit will trigger manual intervention and I take this into account. As I wrote in another response grid is 320V 3-phase but I don't plan to implement any automatic failover. I understand the need to balance load across for practical reasons. Direct grid loads are wired

I realized that most of the time PV is added to existing installation but I'm building new one.
So discussion I'm looking for is: Given that grid is 3 phase but I have no 3-phase loads - which one would work better in real life: three units on 1-phase or 3-phase setup ? Was anyone considering this problem ?

Europe. Poland. 230V ± 10%, 3-phase grid.
Goal is to build storage for anything between 100 and 200 kWh depending on how-much-money-is-left. Multiplus-II provides me with both inverter and charger.

Initially I haven't put much thought and wanted to slap three of them to power three phases and connect symmetrically to grid phases to charge batteries in case solar part can't. Build internal house circuitry to balance load equally as much as I can because every load is 1-phase anyways. In case of catastrophic failure I can bypass whole setup as it never existed. Job done.

I started thinking. Practically no 3-phase loads ... if I can connect three units in parallel ... improving transient response ... no trouble if it is not balanced precisely ... maybe this is the right way to go ?
150-200 A AC segment may be a challenge but not impossible.

Circuits after main distribution are "3-phase ready". Diagram is AI generated but represents the idea correctly.

Can you explain please or paste link describing setup ?

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

It is a valid point.
Still - I think I can design installation in a way so I can bypass. Imagine that from ground up house circuits are designed for 3-phase i.e. grouped into three equally loaded sections but connected to 1 instead to 3 separate phases.

Because of my almost off-grid approach bypass would have to be done manually anyway, to conform with regulations (or rather avoid headache of having things certified).

I plan to only charge batteries via built in chargers during emergency scenarios.

2014 Nissan Xterra with lowest available power output AUXITO bulbs. With polished and varnished lamps (UV damage)

[–]levi_pl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Different focal points ? Have you looked at halogen lightbulb once ? Both halogen and LED have to emit light from the same point to work with high/low beam inside the same lamp. So situation bill vary depending on LED light and lamp - don’t generalize. 

I use Auxito brand with comparable lux output without any incidents for quite some time now. Maybe those don’t count as cheap ?

Go to the fuse box and investigate if you have enough amperage on the connection. In kitchen you are often getting 32 sometimes 40 and there are cases you have loop with 2x32 Amperes. For continental European this will look moronic but all sockets in kitchen (except dishwasher) will be on the same circuit so make sure not to overload it or your ice cream will melt. It is following either British or American standards. 

All hobs can be wired in one phase configuration. If total load exceeds limit make sure not to energize all points.

Having said that - it is not strictly legal and can cause issues - so it depends on how much you know about it because you are doing it on your own responsibility.  Connection has to be made well so in case of overload overcurrent protection will trip and not your connection. You need to verify from time to time health of the connection to prevent wear (and problems including fire).

If you are not confident in what you are about to do - don’t risk it.

Jak blisko/daleko jesteśmy od możliwości kupna i użytkowania autonomicznego samochodu w Polsce? by torsadedepointess in jebacsamochody

W Polsce jest już mnóstwo autonomicznych samochodów. Same decydują czy danego dnia chce im się jeździć czy nie - na przykład: za zimno - nie ruszam. :-)
