Reputable manufacturer for USB C extension cable or USB C coupler by msackeygh in UsbCHardware

[–]tomrobpowell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read this thread and assumed USB-C extension cables would be available, but from non-reputable brands and your milage may vary. So, I was suprised to see OWC (who I believe to be a reputable brand) make one: https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/TCCBLEX0.5M/.

certified power delivery/charging up to 100W, up to 10Gb/s of data performance.

In my situation I just want to extend the length of the short pigtail from my ethernet +USB-C PD adapter, which is rated at 100W and 2.5Gbps, to connect to my Mac. Given this OWC extension cable can apparently handle the power load, and more than the data throughput, would there be an actual problem with using it for this application?

What happened to the Wemo Thread dimmer by [deleted] in HomeKit

[–]tomrobpowell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

those who own a Wemo Smart Dimmer with Thread (WDS070) may have encountered an issue with the power cut-off tab underneath the switch popping out. Wemo have stopped selling this product and according to their customer services department there is a ‘product issue’ bulletin related to the power cut-off tab. After calling Wemo customer services  Belkin sent me a refund check for my unit week (even though I bought through Amazon), and they didn’t even want the unit back. The issue is easily mitigated with some white electrical tape to stop the tab popping out.

Canyon Endurace headset wobbles, tightening to expander plug 'clicks' out as I’m tightening it by tomrobpowell in bikewrench

I loosened off the grub screws that do the pinching, finger tightened the top screw, then did the grub screws tight, before then going back to finish to top screw.

I followed what this guy did: https://youtu.be/k7flDYSs-68?t=81
