    Solar panel and stuff

    Oh. I assumed it as 53k/kw with subsidies. 37k/kw net is a good deal. Now, I must bore you with more questions. 1. Do new on grid systems / inverters have provision for battery backup when power goes off? Wow, that's a lot. They must be paying you back now. 2. Is the return unit rate capped...

    Solar panel and stuff

    I have been reading that the setup gets cheaper without subsidies (so mostly going off grid?). It's not my opinion or study, but I that's what people been saying on other forums (like Desidime). It costs 16k to 20k per KW for panels (extra for inverter). And, they say, this is the cost for...

    PC Peripherals UPS for someone who hates APC

    That fan isn't spinning normally. It looks like some wire is loose. You can ask for warranty/RMA. In my experience, APC replaces UPS with a refurbished model. The replaced unit should have a fan whinnying consistently. Anyway, did you check reviews about this model? Most people complain about...

    Bought one. TBH, for those who use it, it's a steal at this price. :p

    User Review Bosch SMS60L12IN Dishwasher Review

    The price difference is there because it has been inflated. Bosch was available for much less before lockdown. They raised prices in covid and people now think it's a premium brand. Rather, why get a duplicate or white labeled product from Samsung, IFB if the actual original manufacturer...

    User Review Bosch SMS60L12IN Dishwasher Review

    Mine is still going strong. None troubles after 1.5 years. It's been in heavy use daily. Midea isn't a new dude in the dishwasher segment. Samsung, IFB, Godrej and other 10 brands you see on Amazon white label Midea and sell as their own. Except for program durations and front look, everything...

    All OS Comparing phone antenna strength

    Honestly, I don't think it'll be that bad medically. Recently, iPhone 12 high SAR in France was in the news. It was said that medically problematic SAR was still a few times higher than what mobiles are allowed to emit.

    FS: Networking [Free] D-link PCI Ethernet adapter

    2 decades ago, we some people had to buy this card to unlock an illegitimate copy of Alias Maya. I wonder if it'd be considered a legitimate use.

    Wiz bulbs turning back on after a power cut

    For me, it turns on if Wi-Fi is on, but the net is down.

    PC Peripherals UPS power consumption when idle

    Buddy, it's not a single 2-hour continuous outage once in a year. It's more like multiple 10-30 seconds outages per week. The government frequently reminds us that we are still a developing country. My last set of batteries got boiled over. And I have acid stains on my desk. I checked the...

    Rasp pi 4 slow response

    This is just my experience, raspberry pi doesn't treat micro SD cards equally. First time, I used a 2GB, class 4 generic card for pi hole and the performance was fine. After that, I used a class 10+ 16 gb branded card. It was 100 times slower. It was practically unusable. Then, I used 32gb...

    PC Peripherals UPS power consumption when idle

    Read this thread and https://techenclave.com/threads/ups-for-someone-who-hates-apc.215197 Everyone here on the forum (in other threads too) has said APC runs warmer compared to other UPS. That does mean high-power usage on APC on idle. I don't expect it to consume 0W, but 20W is a lot. It's Rs...

    PC Peripherals UPS for someone who hates APC

    My first UPS was power-safe company and it had a very loud beep. I put a register on the speaker to make it quiet. There are some basic UPS meant to run micro load for longer. They don't beep. I'm not certain how they will fare with a high load of a computer...

    PC Peripherals UPS power consumption when idle

    Justify why it needs 20W to do all that (minus battery charging). Also explain why other UPS brands don't get this warm when not in use. Na, you should read the last thread. My hatred is limited to APC only. I find them overrated. I have used a dozen UPS brands and owned half a dozen of them...

    Courier Service Feedback

    It uses all of the above. It's one of very few carriers who have its own cargo planes. What medium it will use for your parcel depends upon the route. It usually means it's coming by surface (train or road). Nothing to worry. SpeedPost is reliable and in my experience is faster than Amazon on...

    PC Peripherals UPS power consumption when idle

    In that case, the context was different. Load-shedding or rolling blackouts were meant to cut down on the power usage. People weren't supposed to “stock” the power using inverters and batteries. But they did just that, negating the purpose of load-shedding. 15 years ago, it was necessary to...
