I recently replaced my home water heater with an electric heat pump hybrid system. Did you consider swapping out the water heaters (floor heat and potable) down in the server+ room downstairs with these? The amount of cold air coming off these after a shower is impressive.

@LinusTech on a scale 1-10, with 1 being easy 10 being very difficult. Closed Captions on LTT-Floatplane videos. Thank you!

#update @LinusTech It seems PalWorld is doing some heavy lifting here. In person co-op with the kids, where we go, what we do, gaming together. Been lots of fun

@LinusTech not sure how to ping Dan here, so please if you can please pass along. Regarding his desire to see his internal organs, "if I had a transparent panel right here" (Short Circuit Edifier QD35 review)
We've got cows covered, maybe talk to one of our Vets, get one installed for ya

Yes this is 100% real, cruise by our yearly open house, called Picnic Day (april) you can come see for yourself

@LinusTech follow up. Bummer regarding the unapproved supplier alteration. How is this handled on the back end. Will the supplier bear any share of the costing? Or is this all on ltt as you approved the final sample.

@LinusTech regarding WAN shows and Miner backpack. Would be great to hear the findings regarding double layered material in the BackPack chassis, or lack there of.

How do you find time to game? I spend my day at the terminal. When my day is done, my desire to sit longer at teh same terminal gaming, is minute to say the least (work from home neatwork engineer... I luckily can use my rig for fun and business - thank goodness for VDI for remote work)
For example, as I write this, Ive been on for 10 hours, just about to sign off and go cook dinner for the family. Id wager your schedule is even more compacted. How do you find the desire to get back to the screen? Or am I misreading your day, do you spend so much time in front of camera that your time behind the screen is less?
Though I must say, Balders Gate has been a blast with my kids. Im barely into the game so far but my girls love playing with and helping decide which page this choose your own adventure gets turned to.

Not the IPX/SPX routing... You'll rather do networking by smokesignals. LOL

You asked for a network person explanation of windows cross over cable direct connection... Its the out of box config....
https://study-ccna.com/apipa-automatic-private-ip-addressing/
1: You take a std patch or cross over cable between two windows PC.
2: AUTO-MDI AUTO-MDIX will hash out the xmit and recv pairs. Link should come up.
3: Network stack starts trying DHCP (assuming you havent set static... this is out of box experience)....
4: DHCP finally fails. Windows falls back to APIPA auto addressing 169.254.0.0/16.
5: Desktop ARPs for its own address... If no reply, it takes its auto assigned APIPA address.
NetBios Name will broadcast on the network segment so as long as you have that enabled on the PC you can easily resolve names... so \\yourpcname\share
Does windows 11 etc use MDNS or other discovery protocols... Prolly, but off the cuff, old NT4/Win2k now Network Engineer (for 20 years), is how I would lay this down.
State. Two PC on same ether broadcast domain and same /16 with unique IP addresses with name to IP to MAC resolution.
Share from there however you wish. )SMB etc)
If you really want auto-magic, just enable IPX/SPX and have all your endpoints on same ether domain
LOL. Just dont ask to go on the internet unless you want to revive an IP to IPX NAT router/proxy.

Wire nuts are like 4090 12V connectors. On paper a sound solution, in practice allows for installer error too easily to allow for dangerous situations.

OMG WireNuts. I was thinking of that yesterday. One of those... If you think our panels are lame... Two words... Wire Nuts. Still amazes me that they are still used. The Wago is way better and are what I use when I splice anything at home. Screw Terminals. Those IMO are better than push in. Comes down to contact surface area where conductors meet. As long as you torque well you should be A-OK. Push through... In my experience where the blade engages teh conductor tends to foul, leading to high resistive joint, and heat, and eventually melt down. Sometimes catastrophically, but usually just enough to smell funny. A dangerous situation, and one in my experience is avoided using the terminals at the cost of 30 seconds to bend a loop in the wire and screw it down. Personally at receptacles I like to make a pig tail using a 3 hole wago. 1 leg power in, 1 leg power out (next receptacle) 1 leg to the receptacle in that box. That way you are not relying on the receptacle for continuity on the circuit, makes replacement a breeze later too.

@FlyingPotato_is_taken I feel the same could be said for plug-on style IMO. Load it up and label it.... Unless things get really stuffed you should be able to do it all without lifting any breakers. But I find it nicer to lift the breaker screw down the wire and plug it back on. However as with many things, its done this way cuase its the way we have always done it, and EU tends to be better regarding consumer rights issues (last 20-30 years at least), which is what I feel the best thing about the DIN-Rail setup is. Non proprietary breakers. The Plug-on style I have worked with are all vendor lock in. So whoever makes teh panel, you gotta get their breakers. So GE breakers dont fit in an EATON, or SQ-D, etc etc versa visa and vice versa. DIN-Rails this does not appear to be the case, so you are not locked in to a single vendor for your stuff, which is great for lots of reasons, but especially when a vendor discontinues a product line or goes out of business. Zinsco for example....

@FlyingPotato_is_taken Plug-on Vendor specific are the norm for residential installation on this side of the pond (USA at least). Industrial installations you see variety based on the area of the campus. Buildings with people and only people (office buidling separate from Machinery Building) Panels tend to be plug-on. All the US Data Centers Ive worked, Plug-on Style, At least for the final distribution panels feeding the drops to the cages. Not to say that it doesn't vary, its just my experience within Universities, and Private sector DCs within Cali. The most common go-to now a days seems to be Square-D for Residential and commercial. Within the DataCenter Square-D again, however I've been seeing a lot of Eaton lately too. All Plug-In style.

@LinusTech All your home videos and you didnt spend any time on the electrical (in video anyways). Ever think of getting a Span.io main panel. The graph below is from my Tesla power wall, but you could do same with a Span.io panel (as well as many other things)
Here we see whole house energy usage. First bump, coffee maker. Second bump, CounterStrike-2. So I can derive my gaming time in kwh... lulz (mind you teh PC was on the whole time, so that bump is CPU adn GPU load from the game)

Screw terminals suffer a similar issue. Prone to installation error as well as the connection loosening over time.
This a screw terminal connection has gone wrong:
1 hour ago, eece_ret said:Personally at receptacles I like to make a pig tail using a 3 hole wago. 1 leg power in, 1 leg power out (next receptacle) 1 leg to the receptacle
Beside Wago 221 there is Wago 2273: Faster and smaller (only solid core!).
What isn't great that Wago requires 12mm exposed copper and all receptacles ask for 15mm. Either you carrier two tools or constantly switch the length settings
-
I hope you find the issue! Gotta be something small and innocuous as you say it works in office, same ap's same controller.... make a video or clip on FP if u figure it out

@LinusTech another thing to check is 5ghz channel width. You may want to constrain that a bit. Helps with janky clients who think th y can rockwide channels but can't.
-
@LinusTech forgot to tag u
-
Re: note 9 5ghz works in office not home. Check your wpa settings between the two. I'd be willing to bet you need some sort of legacy client support enabled like mixed wpa2/3 which is configured in office and as homem is newest install I wouldn't be surprised if it's default wpa3 only.

They expressly stated that LMG would keep the device.... Then asked for it back after the review. Why was there a unexpected hold up if they didn't expect to get it back. Seems a bit fishy
