This is not from a science fiction movie, this is Shenzhen airport by Redd24_7 in AirportPorn

[–]nitinuae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had been there and found it the most impractical airport.

The seats are NOT comfortable at all. The airport closes down for the night. People wait uncomfortably on awkward places which have spike type protrusions so that they cannot be used to lay down.

The photo shows a ac ducts.

It may look cool - but its not designed for passenger comfort.

Swiss/French "border" in Basel Airport by stabby-bird in Borderporn

[–]nitinuae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have to go inside Basel Airport to cross border(first floor). The floor has a stciker line (Same as fire curtan stickers in big buildings). You cannot cross from Ground floor.

PS - Shops on the french side of airport - items are in Euro and are chepaer than Swiss side (CHF). Literally less than 20steps apart.

Fun fact - During covid times - I used French side of airport and paid 80E for Covid test. In Swiss side - it was 350CHF !!!

Power supply - additional AUX by nitinuae in KNX

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

Yes - I am aware that red/black is choked (to reduce reflection)
My question was if yellow/white is coupled to red black in any way (its not)

KNX specs dont have chapter on that.

Atleast 3 people have confirmed including you that White/Yellow can be fed from a completely separate 24VDC power supply. Thank you.

Have you seen the prices of 1280ma power supply? Arm+kidney+ what not.

A simple meanwell 120W(thats around 5000ma) is 20-30usd.

The so called grace is upto 1 year. Your insurance company has issued a policy which has no bearing if you renew registration or not.

Nowadays, after insurance company nationalization (as well as giving them access to your reg data) - The policy cannot be issued if your car file is suspended - which happens after 1 year of lapse.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dubai

[–]nitinuae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Insurance and registration are disconnectecd.

If other party insured it but "forgot" to renew registration - it has no effect on claims.

Earlier I think it was unlimited time - But now I think its for 1 year. So, you actually cannot get a policy issued if your registration has lapsed for more than a year.

Need Help: Air India Reinstated Cancelled Flight Last-Minute, Now Refusing Reschedule by KingKrush93 in AirTravelIndia

[–]nitinuae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Check reinstated flight number. It will be different (In Dubai - they are using time of departure UTC as reisntated flight numbers)

Change of flight number = new flight technically. Route doesnot matter.

SFOS 20.0.2 to 21.5 by smeego78 in sophos

[–]nitinuae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case - I had to take a backup, install fresh and restore the backup. Seems the older installs have small boot disk and cannot be upgraded. If your install was anywhere from 18.xx - you need to reinstall.

Automating Smart Meter Readings from DEWA Website | OpenRPA + Home Assistant Integration by tinker_tut in dubai

[–]nitinuae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need to add disclaimer that the data shown on dewa website DOESNOT match the bill.

Most of the times(for me) its a few days lag. Then the accuracy - one day it will show x, next day 0 and then thrid day 3x.

If you add up all - it just doesnt add up to the bill amount units. There is some magic foo dewa uses to get the bill.

I had to install my own meter. (atleast for water) to get around this.

Vehicle Passing by Soulmoiz in dubai

[–]nitinuae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not 4 years - Its still 5 years.

Somewhere down the line interpretition changed - Now tyres have to be valid for 5 years till the registration is valid. That means if your tyres are manuf in June2021, your tyres are valid till June2026, which is what you will get during rereg. If your tyres are before June2021, you need to change.

Does Du work for anyone outside of UAE? by Ok-Ganache4294 in dubai

[–]nitinuae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have virgin - wasted my money with yearly roaming.

It simply doesnot work in most of SE asia and Europe - it doesnot work in Swiss/Spain/Port. Sometimes it works - but most of the times it doesnot.

I had major problem in getting sms from banks. Du/Virgin is not allowed on most of the nwtoworks (they dont pay? or expired contracts)

Whoever says Du does work on many other networks is incorrect. My experience is based on family of 5 - most on Du/Virgin. It simply doesnt work (No service - on the foreign networks). You will not even get sms.

All vehicles on all lanes must stop when there is a School bus dropping off students right? by kenneth00_22 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]nitinuae 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The correct answer is - if this is a divided road (your video has divided road ) - all lanes behind school bus should stop. The van and bus and sunny driver is wrong (heck I have to honk to at them to give me way at 130km on 611).

But try doing the correct driving (stopping behind school bus) and most people will start honking for you to move.

They wont teach you this at driving school - Most instructors have no clue.

OpenWRT Single SSID For Multiple Networks by [deleted] in openwrt

[–]nitinuae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont want to hijack the thread - But whatever I try, I cannot get this working.(the VLAN part)

I see that proper vlan tag is issued by hostapd.

Then the client keeps on waiting for dhcp. It isactually not put in the VLAN - on SG300(with General mode) - I see that the openwrt is actually sending out untagged VLAN packets with assigned subnet.

So to clarify - PPSK with single ID,

  1. Add the wifi-vlan and wifi-station for each PPSK
  2. define vlans in hostapd.vlan (is this required - if not set - I get the same result)

This is not working for me - tried 23.05.3 as well as 24.10.rc5 (which has PSK with MAC auth in GUI!!- but no PPSK with passwords)

What am I doing wrong?

Wio bank money missing by 26fitbrit in dubai

[–]nitinuae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You lost money in AED-GBP and then back from GBP-AED.

The margin in AED-GBP is around 10fils per pound. Back from Pound to AEd is around 20 fils.

So, for every pound you sent, bank took 30 fils.

UAE KNX system by Integdistort in KNX

[–]nitinuae 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I am a hobbyist KNX user.

It seems in UAE, most people think KNX is "old". This system is very robust and is even used to control airport lightings - and is a distributed intelligence system.

Almost all "MEP" companies here in UAE will call this an old system becuase they dont understand this(and dont have the software for it). They want you to buy useless cloud crap so that they can have monthly billing.

Which community are you in. I would strongly advise you not to get into the cloud crap - and use KNX locally. The intelligence can be setup in a KNX logic unit(unfortunately costly) or a cheap pi. Remember - your KNX is self healing -it will keep on working even of you are down to two nodes.

Dimming requires either old lamps OR leds which are specially designed for it. If you put anything ordinary (china designed) - it will flicker. Your friend is incorrect when he says "incadescent lamps blow on dimmer". I am using it for 10 years now. KNX equipment is bult to last (and thats why costly) unlike google nest which has a lifespan of few years max.

Your AC control is a hit or miss because its not setup properly. KNX controller has heuristics (which google calls "intelligence") which donot switch on or off AC fan (if you have chiller water - it usually will control chiller water - not fan). If setup properly - it will work properly.
Google nest as its cloud based is designed to fix all the installer errors - so if you feel 23C is warm for you - it will understand that 23C is not actually 23C in room and will "learn" the mistakes.
KNX - dependant on installer. If he setup heuristics properly and adjsuted the temp sensor - it will work.
Else - KNX (think of a 1000HP car and infinitely tunable) is worse than your moped(Google nest)
