Right there with you…I still rock one of these.

I’m working on restoring a car so I have the original color sheet. So many more options 56 years ago. Today you get like 5-6 options and half cost quite a bit more.

They really want to enforce that quote. The cleverly as possible part doesn’t really apply. Let the idiot write the code and the more experienced person debug it. I feel like we’ve seen this with airline pilots already. Huge shortage mainly caused by retirement and regulation changes making it harder to get into the field. I guess their hope is by the time that happens with programmers AI doesn’t suck.

At least this won’t be true anymore.

I’d love to see self certification go away entirely. They do the same thing with motorcycle helmets.

NHTSA does not approve helmets, or any other motor vehicle equipment, instead relying on a self-certification process. However, we conduct tests on some helmets to make sure they meet our standard.

They release reports about those checks and a guy online aggregates them and they have a 43.9% failure rate as of 2023. With helmets we can just grab something with the DOT rating and one of the other ratings that aren’t self certified.

I made the hop to 10g and it can be expensive depending on how many ports and how you do it. I found it cheaper to run fiber through my house rather than do cat cables again. I pull my own cable though. The SFP+ transceivers are significantly cheaper for fiber than RJ45 ethernet and the cables are about the same. I’d terminate my own cat cables but I just bought prefab fiber. Used the foot markings on the cat cable(from a 1000ft spool) I originally ran to figure out the length.

Here’s the wall plate in my office which has multiple 10g machines(SFP+ networks cards). I ran fiber out to the living room switch as an uplink as well.

For the short 10g runs between servers and switches in the basement I used DAC cables.

I have no idea what the specs are for your Wifi7 router from the ISP are but you’ll likely need a 10g switch for additional devices hooking up to it.

Edit: formatting

I’ll agree that the diff in foreground is skewing it a bit. I’ll edit this because I think you mean 1.5-2m between the boat and bear. If the bear is normalish sized it should be about 1.5m(5ft) tall. The guy in the boat is probably similar but he is also standing on something at or below water level versus above it like the bear. Which also gives the illusion of the bear being bigger.

Polar bears change weight significantly throughout the year. So that can change what they look like wet as well. Their fluff will always be less.

The point I was trying to make… A gorilla’s strength is technically enough to lift a polar bear’s weight but it’s in the upper end of their strength. The bear is going to fight every step of the way and it’s not going to behave like an inanimate object. The bear is almost guaranteed to have one or two limbs on the ground at all times providing it leverage. Polar bears can lift approximately twice what a gorilla weighs. Add in its nearly 2x size advantage, 3-4x weight advantage, the thicker hide, ~10cm of fat insulation, 5-7cm claws, and carnivorous focused teeth…I don’t see it ending well for the gorilla.

Not only that but every house I’ve ever lived in has a pressure reducing valve right after the main shutoff. My current one drops the 150psi city pressure down to about 60psi for use in the house.

Polar bears are fucking massive. Not just in weight but everything. I give reach to the polar bear as well.

Some of the largest gorillas have a standing height of ~6 ft. A polar bears standing height is 10-11 ft. Their average shoulder height on four legs is 5ft. The bear out weighs a gorilla about 3-4x.

My money is on the bear. The gorilla would probably land some good hits but the second the bear can pin down its movement that fight is over.

Had a Sony Ericsson W580i back in high school. It was a slide phone. 15 hours talk, 570 hours standby. That’s nearly 24 days of standby. I charged it maybe every two weeks. It was tiny(So not great in your hands I guess). We don’t need unwieldy huge phones for good battery life. Still had a basic browser and was part of the ‘Sony Walkman’ lineup so was a decent enough music player. Modern phones are just power hungry cause they have about ~12x the power of my first desktop computer.

Crap photo but shows many angles.

Every 20-30 minutes…

It’s US electrical in the post. The first link is only valid for US electrical but I’m sure similar things exist for other countries. The last link is just a cable channel. Nothing special, just looks nicer. They make thinner or wider variants.

Links are just easier than posting 15 images. Here’s the main images for both products.

That first link the top panel has a normal outlet in it but the bottom panel is a male plug. You have to use an extension cord to jump it over to an outlet which could be on your UPS.

Assuming you can cut into the wall… This is likely the cleanest option without doing electrical work.

If that extension cable jump isn’t up to the electric code they do make something similar where you can tie it into the hardwire as well. It doesn’t look like you have an outlet in the same stud section though. Which would make that harder.

Any remaining cables horizontally I’d just stuff in something like this above the trim at the bottom. You’d probably want to either source a black one or just paint it to match your walls.
