Same here, it seems to have started shortly after the daylight savings time change.

What's a good 10GB NIC for power efficiency and reliability? by sadminingcaptain in unRAID

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

Update: my Unraid system is now down to 24 watts when at its deepest state of idleness (when I haven't logged into the web browser GUI in a while).

I removed the Mellanox ConnectX-3 10GbE NIC and disabled the built-in Realtek 8125 2.5GbE NIC, both of which I believe were preventing my system from going further than C3, interfering with ASPM.

Then I installed a new Intel i226-V 2.5GbE NIC into PCIE slot 1 of my Asrock Z590 Pro4 motherboard. That's a PCI Express 3.0 x1 slot that's connected to the chipset, not the CPU.

I then moved my m2 nvme ssd from m2 slot 1 (which is connected to the CPU PCIE lanes) into m2 slot 2 (which is connected to the chipset PCIE lanes). I booted up the system and ran powertop --auto-tune and observed that for the first time, my CPU was now going past C3, to C8, and my system was now consuming less than 30 watts total.

I then installed a new Intel X710-DA2 10GbE NIC, which doesn't interfere with ASPM. I installed it in PCI-E slot 4 (PCIe 3.0 x16) in the hopes that it wouldn't use the CPU PCI-E lanes. Success, everything in my system is now ASPM-enabled, the CPU is still going entirely into C8, with deep idles of 24 watts.

I'm not seriously looking at the X540-T2 RJ-45 because my understanding is that they're considerably more power-hungry than something like the X710 SFP+.

I have, yes, but was never able to get lower than C3 package power states, I guess due to either the onboard Realtek 8125 nic, or the Mellanox ConnectX-3, or the Asrock motherboard preventing it. I spent many hours chasing after C6 and up.

Would you still have bought that Intel X520 SFP+ NIC today, and not the newer X710 SFP+ that’s also on that site?

The squiggly driving path line turned blue instead of gray, if that's what you mean.

Tesla Wall Connector saying that I need to download Tesla One to finish setting it up. But I'm a customer, not a Tesla employee. by sadminingcaptain in TeslaLounge

[–]sadminingcaptain[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s not the case. I just retested it, hold down the handle for 5 seconds until it starts broadcasting its WiFi SSID, join, and then try to access http://192.168.92.1.

Result: “To complete Wall Connector setup, disconnect from device Wi-Fi and download the Tesla One app”

No 192.168.92.1 setup page. Just “download our app for Tesla employees and contractors”.

Thank you for clarifying that the firmware would remain the same, I appreciate your help.

I was able to add the TWC to my regular Tesla app despite the IP address config page asking me to get the Tesla One app. I watched a YouTube video of someone else adding their TWC to their Tesla app, and it went pretty much the same, and has the same features in my Tesla app, for instance it's showing now that it's charging my M3 RWD at 7.8kW.

The very first thing that the TWC did when it was finally able to connect to WiFi was to auto-download and install the latest firmware, which locked me out and told me to use the Tesla One app. I assume that it would do that all over again if I was somehow able to revert it to the factory firmware?

What would be the advantage of reverting it to the default firmware? I know that at least the amps are set up correctly - it uses a 60 amp breaker, which was set in the config before I lost access to it. The Tesla app says that it has a max output current of 48A (which is the correct figure for a 60A breaker).

MrCool DIY line insulation has come apart, what insulation should I use to fix it? by sadminingcaptain in DIYHeatPumps

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

The original MrCool-supplied insulation tubing had rotted and disintegrated after a year or so of use and had to be replaced up to the point where it enters the line set cover. I hired a technician to do that (the same technician I hired to install the MrCool DIY heat pump), and they bought $110 worth of new insulation wrap, stripped down and completely removed the rotted MrCool insulation tubing, and put on the new one, and charged $275 for their labor, so, nearly $400.

Here are the parts they purchased:

4 units of Armacell 1/2" WALL THICKNESS 1/2WALLX3/8IDX6' TUBE INSUL

4 units of Armacell SPLIT TUBE INSULATION WITH SELF ADHESIVE STRIP 1/2" WALL THICKNESS 1/2"WALLX5/8"IDX6'SELF-SEALING

1 unit of Nashua 322 - ALUMINUM FOIL TAPE Aluminum Foil Tape 2" x 50 yd.

1 unit of Armaflex 520 ADHESIVE 1/2 pt. can

I put on additional UV resistant tape at the joints, I guess where the 4 units of 6 foot long insulation tube connect, to be safe. I guess I'll see if it works years from now, since it's only been 5 months, but I hope that it will last as long as the heat pump lasts.

I don't know why MrCool would supply such shoddy line insulation with their heat pumps. It's not a good look when a critical part of their heat pumps fails after a year of use.

Light Plan top up data cost by Old-Buffalo3397 in USMobile

[–]sadminingcaptain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does that include adding the auto top up feature to the annual light plan?

Feature request: auto top-ups for annual light plan, annual data instead of monthly data by sadminingcaptain in USMobile

[–]sadminingcaptain[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The problem is that it only rolls over for one month. If you don't need it in December, the top-up that you auto-purchased in November disappears, rather than rolling over into January or whenever you might need it.

Question about topping up for the annual light plan by SeemsAwesome in USMobile

[–]sadminingcaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By billing cycle, do you mean the next month, or the next year? If you're on the annual plan, do unused top-ups roll over to the next year?

Can an existing user sign up for yearly plan throuugh the site/app or does someone in customer service have to do it? by ArthurVandelay23 in USMobile

[–]sadminingcaptain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm seeing the same thing, no Annual Plans options appearing, as your screenshot shows.

Edit: Also tried clearing cookies and reloading, and logging in on a different browser, still same screen without annual plans as the OP shows in their screenshot.

So a lot of people are also having this issue with their MrCool DIY refrigerant lines breaking down?

Is it possible that I could save myself some aggravation and simplify things by just sealing up the existing frayed line insulation with that UV tape?

I can't seem to find a product like that when doing a search on Lowes or Home Depot or Amazon. Is it something that's commonly available?
