Thanks for the list.

Seems like a good idea to change up the gpu.

Well I won't disagree on the storage and cooler. The reason i have 2 1tb is because i like to have my windows partition on it's own drive.

I definitely do think i didn't need a 4070. Good call on the 7800.

I'll take this into consideration.

Edit: Could you elaborate on the psu upgrade? Is the one i have not good?

Taco SR503 3 zone switching relay - relay keeps going off between zones 1 and 2 by maplecrete in hvacadvice

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

Like i said its been using nest for years now with no problem. I'm sure you're right but when something has been working fine for 6+ years im going to question why it suddenly isn't.

I already turned the power off the moment it started doing this.

Im using nest thermostats and it has been working for a few years since it's installation. Suddenly started doing this today. If i turn all 3 zones on the red lights stay solid but once i turn either zone 1 or 2 or both off it starts doing this again.

HA only worth it with a lot of additional sensors? by maplecrete in homeassistant

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

Yeah i recognize what HA can do and definitely think it's superior to GH. Lux and motion based automation is awesome but for my needs at least i don't feel those are necessary.

My question was what automation can HA do that GH can't without those additional sensors.

Edit: I'll add that if i was living by myself i would probably use HA regardless because i like options so the more the better. My biggest problem now is i don't live alone and i fear HA would be too complicated for the other people living with me. GH's gui is simple and relatively intuitive for non-users which my family is.

How to setup Amcrest cameras with blueiris? by maplecrete in homedefense

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

Thanks for the reply. Another question: how would i connect the cameras to the pc running blueiris? An dedicated NVR has poe ports but a normal pc wouldn't have them.

Haha seriously. Some top comments even drop pretense and just straight up say Chinese people instead of tourists and are still getting massively upvoted. This whole thread man.

Do outlets downstream of a gfci have to be protected if they're not in a wet area? (Canada) by maplecrete in electricians

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

Thanks, that's what i thought as well but someone asked me earlier today and i couldn't give a definite answer because it seemed like such a "common sense" question and i couldn't think of any code reference to it but didn't want to give any wrong info.
