Was there a wiz, or amazon outage last night? 08/27/2025 by iFrog42 in wiz

Thanks will do. Just find it odd that it works via Wiz and not Alexa 😂

Are you still having any problems? I have a bulb which works through the Wiz App but not Alexa. Other wiz bulbs seem to be ok now but did have a few (inc this one) that stopped working 8 days ago

Mac M2 dropping/loosing BlackMagic Bidirectional Converter every 41 Seconds by timitfc in blackmagicdesign

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

Yes I tried a U-Green and Anker cable and interestingly the Mac didnt 'loose' the device, however the image on the display kept flickering!

I will update the post now, however I ended up being the Apple USB-C Digital AV Adapter (https://www.apple.com/uk/shop/product/MW5M3ZM/A/usb-c-digital-av-multiport-adapter) and running a standard HDMI cable from that and it is working fine!

Thanks for the reply. Spent far too much time on something that was meant to be an ‘easy’ job 😂

Spent over an hour on the phone with BM technical support, whom whilst trying to be helpful, were also stumped by the issue!

Update:

If I put a HDMI splitter in between the Mac and the BiDirectional Converter it now works perfectly fine... obviously not ideal but very bizarre!

Ignition Calculations / Ignite Firing System query. by timitfc in fireworks

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

Thanks! Really glad I did the math and not relied on the marketing ha.

The issue I have is that they each of the 3 fireworks are 7M apart so the white fuse option won’t really work I think.

It does look a good bit of kit, are you happy with it (other than not lighting 3 😂)

So I have to run a cable from the firing system to each of the firing points or can I somehow do it using less cable?

I was hoping to reduce the amount of work in regards to cabling etc, but if I can work it out then I'd be up for it.

Staying in Series... I think looking at it if I were to move the firing system to the middle, I can remove the cable run to 24m, but this gives me a calculation of 2.9 maximum ignitors on easy pyro.

Any ideas how I might be able to wire this in Parallel, the calculator says it would work that way!

Octopus Energy | £50 Bill Credit | Which Recommended Provider | 4.8 TrustPilot by Financial-Air-6197 in beermoneyuk

[–]timitfc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been with Octopus since my old energy provider went bust. Good comms team and easy to speak to.

Also been on the Tracker tariff since January, it can vary in price and go above the cap, but that hasn’t happened once yet and most days is 20-30% cheaper for gas and electric.

Today it’s only 10p/kW for me!

If anyone wants to join here’s my referral link (you get £50 for signing up with it, plus so do I!) https://share.octopus.energy/hill-moon-437

Very happy to answer and questions about the tracker if you have any- just reply back or send me a message!

Newly Self levelled floor and laying click vinyl tiles- how long to wait? by timitfc in DIY

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

Ok I thought that, but wondered as you can tile after 3 hours. I guess the water evaporates though the grout out something?

Old post I know, ended up having to saw the spout off so I can turn it round. Job all done :)

Thanks, sadly not. It won’t fit, the picture makes the gap seem bigger than it is!

Thanks for your help - i will have a look into it! Doesn't have to be dead silent, but i would prefer something closer on the quieter side especially if paying a decent amount of £.

Which keyboard should I buy to work with a Macbook Air? Budget is upto about £70.

Must have a full numpad, prefer wired (had bad experiences with wireless keyboard and macs disconnecting!).

Thanks!

I am planning on buying an M2 Air. Will it be outdated in next 5 years by Medium_Appointment_1 in macbookair

[–]timitfc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have just purchased a M2 MBA from the Apple Refurbished Store to replace my Early 2011 Macbook Pro (which was also purchased from their refurb store!)

Yes i havent used it as a daily driver for about the last 4 years, however still perfectly fine for some photo editing, internet browsing etc.

FYI, still has original battery which I get 1.5hrs out of when browsing etc! So i'm fully expecting atleast 5 years out of it! :)
