It's even worse than an arduino. At least the duino stimulates people to build hardware add-ons and tinker with it ( although the software side is still shielding the hardware too much. )

An option would be a solar carport, instead of roofing install solar panels. That's even easy to DIY and not expensive.Same for the in-garden installation - surrounded by little stones and gras? Can't get a worse installation than that. Mower+stone=glass-shattering projectiles. Also it's collecting dust and dirt, which will not be washed away during rain.Your marked house installation might not be very suitable as well, looks like you don't get much direct sunlight there. Maybe arrange something with other tenants to install a larger array on the roof, so everyone benefits.

It's 35 kg which (at 62) I find ok to move around as it's not too large and has good handles on the top. It was a LOT harder to get into my car at the store in the huge featureless shipping box.I was glad I didn't get the (exactly twice the price, 4kWh, 4kW) Ecoflow Delta 3 Pro which weighs 51.5 kg!!The Pecron takes up to 4 expansion batteries EP3000-48V of 3kWh each, for a total of 15kWh. Each battery weighs 26 kg.I don't have any yet but I think maybe I'll get one, for 6kWh total, which should see me through from dusk to dawn for at least the summer and maybe a good part of spring and autumn. (I'm ok with using night-rate power between 11 PM and 7 AM to maintain some minimum state of charge when needed)The price is more than for DIY LFP batteries, but I think it's not stupidly more, and worth it at US$809https://www.pecron.com/products/pecron-ep3000-expansion-battery-3072wh

content: Wrong forum section...I think most systems, especially those for domestic use are modular. It's not practical to expect forklifts to be available on domestic sites.For example SAJ HS2 is an "all-in-one solution" (ie the inverter and batteries are stacked). Each battery module is 5kWh and weighs 50kg. SAJ HS3 is newer and similar to the Sigenergy system shown, it's got an EV charger module and "slimmer" footprint. Same thing, 5kWh per battery module, 53kg each. I reckon it's a two person job to stack them.Again, I don't expext any comercially sold system for domestic use to be delivered as one "blob" weighing hundreds of kilos.

Just please remember to always put that marker indicating it’s a snippet from an old video. And embed it directly in the video, not in annotations. My thinking here goes like that. There are always new people finding about your channel and they never seen that content. Better, it may bring new audience. But regulars may wish to skip something they already watched. Instantly, not a minute into the video, when their brain becomes certain they already seen it.Did you think, how to avoid Alphabet penalizing your channel for low engangement in those videos? Or do you believe the influx of new users will balance out regulars stopping the video quickly? Or will it not matter at all?

content: I wasn’t sure if it’s appropiate to even post a link to an EEVblog2 short here. I decided to do so for the benefit of our 8-legged friends.I call to everybody from all around the world: check how many spider species are in your area that are venomous to humans.(1)For example down here in Poland there are just a few, all of which you find in caves, not in urbanized areas. Seeing a spider is therefore not of concern. Unless your neighbour had an exotic one that ran way, in which case it is still less dangerous than their dog.Other places are less lucky. But still: seek information and learn. Recognizing danger and fear are two very different things.(1)“Venomous to humans” doesn’t mean there are some people with allergic reactions. This can happen for literally anything and it’s unreasonable to avoid something unless you’re tested to be sensitive. I’m talking about venom that is likely to be dangerous to a random person and to a notable extent.

People try to communicate, to live in a now global world, and do this the way that’s available to them. My own English is quite bad, but I’m still lucky: Polish uses Latin alphabet and writing style, shares vocabulary with half of Europe, and English was taught to me since I was 5 or 6.

Surely a FLUKE or Brymen is better, at 10x the price.I don't find the UI terrible; a button to select the mode has advantages over a cheaply made turning knob, and those even fail on expensive models. So that's OK with me.However: wrong CAT ratings are just wrong, and one should not support this business decision by the manufacturer.A LIDL/ALDI DMM is not a lot more expensive, but likely has a more trustworthy CAT rating.

This is a reason why some old apps where droped, as in there old form they may no longer run with new Android versions and the producers did not bother to recompile / adapt to the small changes.So finding the old app at some non official repository may not be enough.It is a bit disappointing to no longer have support or compatibility with newer bluetooth interfaces.For cleaning the vinegar on the crystalls makes them bubble and give some visible effect for the video. This part is not actually the neutralization, but only replacing the CO2 acid with the vinegar. So replacing one acid with another.The actual neutralization gives not gas production, but only a little heat. For most of the part just water would be fine to rinse off the spill. Most if it is well water soluble. KOH is even so hygroscopic that it needs rather dry wether to dry and form crystals.It is only some corrosion products, like copper-carbonate that are better removable in an acidic environment.

The ones you've seen (40:40) come in many brands from multiple manufacturers, and few of them offer decent products.Even the AU$2,590 one could be a complete mess.I know someone who owns one (the biggest one). The obvious structural vibrations make it simply impossible to use: the machined parts don't come out cylindrical (*).Should you want a lathe, ask a grey beard with serious turning skills to test it before buying.Or choose a machine from a reputable brand.Speaking about metal additive manufacturing of raw parts, I find the 'cold spray' principle more appealing than the fused wire printing (53:15).Video 1Video 2Significant financial power is advised(*) diameter changes along the part, and not in a linear way like a cone.
