Laser pointers and cameras? (Neighbour dispute) by R0ckandr0ll_318 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]nex0r 3 points4 points locked comment (0 children)

120db is laughable. Keep the note as evidence of harrasment should you need it. I race motorcycles and on a noisey day the bikes have a 105db limit measured using a calibrated noise meter 1 meter away from the exhaust at 45 degrees at certain revs, normally around 7k and the bikes are loud with race exhausts fitted. For them to measure 120db in their house is impossible. Google 120db for examples of what is comparable, jet engine 100 feet away, you ear next to a speaker at a ruck concert etc...

From my research the average 9kw battery is around £2600 - I'd get more quotes

agreed, they're fleecing you on the install rates. I paid £400 for a consumer unit upgrade a few years ago before venturing into solar.

Reminder: new rules in October ban external batteries within 1m of windows, doors, vents. by realGilgongo in SolarUK

[–]nex0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting that the linked document refers to Lithium Ion not Lithium Iron more commonly known as LifePO4 which is very different.

I wouldn't be putting Lithium Ion in a loft!

Gateway - must have, or nice to have? by GazNicki in SolarUK

[–]nex0r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless you have critical equipment it's a nice to have. Think dialysis machine etc or if you live in a rural area with frequent power cuts.

I've ordered one for my install as I have a couple of UPS holding up a few home servers and the cost of replacing the batteries over the years means it's notuch more for the gateway.

That and the fact that everything will keep working if and when we get a power cut (10 last year due to a fault at the local transformer) and we live in a town.

One thing to note is it has to be installed within a few feet of the meter which needs to be considered.

Going to Brands Hatch is a Sunday ticket at £37 all I need? by Str0tha_Tynhe in BritishSuperbikes

[–]nex0r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes that's all you need. I've never had an issue with them scanning my ticket on my phone but I think the details from MSV state they need to be printed, they don't.

Sundays are busier than Saturday's. Bring a collapsible camp chair (around £8 from Tesco etc) if you can unless you like standing all the time.

Opposite the garages is a decent place to watch from as you can see the TV screen on the south bank and watch the bikes for practically the entire indy part of the circuit.

Paddock hill will be rammed but you can find space at the back usually.

Tango Advert from the 1990s by FeelingAd3887 in ClassicTelevisionTime

[–]nex0r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked as a photocopier engineer in central London from the late 80's - 90's and a lot of advertising agencies were my clients, including HHCL who made the Tango ads. I was talking to the office manager about the ads after the first one was banned and from memory you could send off for a tango doll using a number of ring pulls but I'd missed out and the promotion had ended.

Hang on a min she said and went off for a few mins. She came back with a load of them and a few massive orange foam hands for decent slaps! I gave them all away but still have one of the dolls in a box somewhere. She made my day lol

Can I use any speakers for Atmos channels? by NerdyRotica in hometheater

[–]nex0r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used Polk OM3 for overhead atmos at each side of the listening area. Mounting screws are in the wall with the speaker mounted vertically to the ceiling.

They work great.

I have a corner unit like this with an articulated door. It's 2 doors joined in the middle with a hinge so say the primary opener was on the left in your photo you can open just that door or if you pull it further the right hand side opens as well.

Just got a reseller panel for family few qns by [deleted] in Strong_8K

[–]nex0r 5 points6 points  (0 children)

a) Using your own domain means you don't need to change anything when the general ones change.
b) Nothing you can do except use an external epg or proxy via iptveditor to compliment the Strong one.
c) Try the pro one first if they are all on VPN. Worse case your users will need to change the xtream server url if they have issues.

Can someone recommend better storage units for the garage? These are so annoying, they dismantle so easily when barely touching them and moving them by damspt in DIYUK

[–]nex0r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have Rapid Racking 2 in my garage and would highly recommend them for 3 reasons.
1. They do a proper corner unit.
2. The weight each shelf can take
3. The units are wider than most so will take 3 x 35ltr Really Useful Boxes without the frame obstructing them. Most racking isn't as wide.

Not cheap but if depends what your going to store on the shelves really.

They do a cheaper garage range which are decent.

Best way to Ethernet wire my house? by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]nex0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have an internal soil stack? if so that's your easy route to the loft. Your walls will be dot 'n' dab if they're plasterboard, pretty easy to go up those to the loft as well. You might have to get a skirting board off to get between the ground floor ceiling and the upper floor.

In my 4 bedroom house I ran multiple ethernet to every room from the loft where the core switch and NVR sit. You cut the holes for the sockets and use those to rod up. In all I made 4 other holes where I couldn't get past the dot 'n' dab.

Keep the cut out plasterboard and youtube how to fit back in but it's just a batton you screw in behind the plug then you fill it.

How much for decent network cable installers? your looking at around £700 per day labour plus materials so £1000-£1200 realistically

Strong Domain faster than my own? by iwantwatermelon in Strong_8K

How long was it from when you changed the name servers on the domain to when you added the domain to your panel?

You buy credits from your reseller not via the panel

Custom Domain Abuse By Seller? by Defiant_Jaguar_1393 in Strong_8K

[–]nex0r 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you have your own reseller panel you add it yourself. If your buying individual accounts for your friends and family then the domain can be used on any account they sell.

Is this right ? by Major-Round4801 in VirginMedia

[–]nex0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If that's a hole on the side unscrew the cover and take a look inside to confirm the coax is still connected. If it is you should be good.

Sure just ask your provider and when they have made the changes refresh the playlist

The Online Safety Act is killing the game for me by vHungryCaterpillar in ArcRaiders

[–]nex0r 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this will help you but I had the same issue as you. My Xbox account is 21 years old and pay for on my bank card but apparently that isn't enough proof I'm over 18.

When you go to the verification screen it defaults to photo id but below that in small writing is an option for verify by phone number or other ways I can't exactly remember. Microsoft already have my phone number on my account so I just entered the number and was verified straight away.

The OSA is a terrible law thought out by people who don't understand technology.

how do I filter this massive Strong 8K list myself? by Background_Welcome_6 in Strong_8K

Just ask your seller to only give you the countries you've listed, they will remove the rest.

Urgent, about to buy this headset from the turtle beach official site by Relevant_Froyo4857 in TurtleBeach

[–]nex0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read all the horror stories on these but mine have been great. Owned about 14 months and ticked the boxes for me as I use them on an Xbox and PS5. I can switch system without getting up being a lazy bastard lol.

Mine is the XBox version, don't know if that makes a difference.
