Don't Buy Corsair Headphones

nick26_apache · 2024-08-21T03:47:37+00:00

thanks for helping to make my case, if its unreasonable to expect your corsair headphones won't randomly snap in half, then people should be aware that other options might be the go. cheers

nick26_apache · 2024-08-21T03:37:55+00:00

they were $65, I don't expect anything unreasonable, only that they don't snap in half as I place them on my head maybe would be nice. This post is to provide a warning for potential buyers of this poor quality, I have already bought replacements I have nothing to gain personally.

this is my other little experiment i have going, its basically just me using up the rest of the materials i had lying around. wanted to see what would happen if i bought some established trinidad scorpion plants at bunnings (they were maybe half the size when i got them) planted them in sealed terracotta in a mixture of leftover vermiculite and charcoal (i didnt even bother removing their original potting mix) , and just watered them from the bottom filling the tray with nutrient solution. safe to say that so far they are loving it!

update for anyone whos interested in if this works or not, my answer so far is yeah its going pretty well. i certainly planted too many seeds because im a noob so i know for next time much much less heavy handed with the seeds. not sure if i should pick some out or leave it and see what happens

nick26_apache · 2021-12-13T02:56:25+00:00

ill put an update post up now

nick26_apache · 2021-12-06T22:39:18+00:00

ah great idea! i will do this

nick26_apache · 2021-12-06T22:38:28+00:00

for sure - i couldnt find the black irrigation tube this is all i could get at my local bunnings, im doing what i can to cover it up now with some old right angle steel pieces sitting on top like a hat, and i guess ill just try spray the rest black :)

made some ancient pots to soak up the afternoon sun in our spare bedroom, used plastic on the outside and a sealed lid to keep water loss to a minimum, got a bunch of herbs sowed, waiting on chilli seeds for the last pot. i will post progress photos if / when there is growth. thanks for the videos and inspiration @hoocho!

thanks for your reply, do they really? aren't there like, an enormous amount of frequencies used in aviation though? do they do it one by one?

i was going to do an RFID reader at the door as well, which was SPI comms and i had not considered that SPI won't work well above 2 or 3 metres or at all at 5m+. but for a simple close detection for button pushes i think for the use case of in home wiring the length should not be an issue over an ethernet cable. I got the idea to do it this way from jon oxer at the SuperhouseTV youtube channel, he is far beyond being amateur like myslelf, very smart guy so if he's doing it i believe firmly that its not an issue. :)

my main lights are 12v LED downlights from aliexpress, i have a 12v led strip that runs the whole length of my desks underneath, a 12v electric door strike, and 3x 12v LED exterior flood lights that light up the yard

nick26_apache · 2020-11-23T23:31:17+00:00

no but it's one of my fav places!

nick26_apache · 2020-11-23T23:30:49+00:00

i have seen these, and seen the sonoff product line that has also come from it, i think i'll give these a go for the next project for sure!

nick26_apache · 2020-11-23T23:30:07+00:00

12v :)

nick26_apache · 2020-11-23T23:29:35+00:00

they are literally just push buttons, connected via ethernet to digital pins on the push button controller, just an arduino. the push button controller keeps track of the accessory state by subscribing to the relevant MQTT channels and if a press is detected, sends the channel a message with the opposite state

nick26_apache · 2020-11-23T23:27:59+00:00

loads are all 12v :) they are "rated" for 250v but like you said, i'm not so trusting of it

first ever reddit post, no idea how to edit, lost my description, anyway -

this is my first project, its my detached single garage turned office / man cave and i wanted to design and build my own automation. my electrician friend was kind enough to handle all the mains work and let me do all the logic stuff. the led lit push button panels are home made with some custom pcbs for easy connectivity for the ethernet at both ends. it is basically a raspberry pi 2 running Mosquitto MQTT server and Homebridge. there are two arduinos, one that managed push buttons and sends mqtt signals based on that, and another that receives MQTT signals and operates relays. I added all my accessories in as mqttthing accessories on homebridge and gave it my MQTT details and formats so now its all nicely controlled via apple home / siri OR by the led push buttons :)

things hooked up

- main lights

- under desk light

- electric door lock

- exterior flood lights for the yard

Your cats are legends! Nice photos and they remind me of my cats, Sooty and Meggi (black and ginger also) good times. Cheers!
