Going wireless might be great - but getting power to your kit will still be an issue. -

ISTR Cable way gaf has a non-sticky centre line. I can't tell if that is what the gun applies. It makes a big difference if the cable is going to be down for a while. -
Coronavirus: General discussion (see opening post for rules)
Andrew_C replied to Dos_Box's topic in General Chat
The ONS are still running a national survey - this, along with hospital admissions is probably where the data is coming from, prior to being 'massaged'. The Govt have been ignoring the ZOE study assiduously, as it shows the situation to be considerably worse. -

Lots this morning, coming out of nests under my 'lawn'. -
From a practical point of view, the 'legality' and it no longer being 'PAT' dealt with above... A fan requires a double pole isolator, and that flex looks like it needs fusing to 5A. And it is FILTHY. A job for estates or whatever you call them to deal with.

Fixed... So? I'd not trust ANY govt to be honest over anything.

No. There really isn't a good solution. Only less bad ones. You can get cable protector that is slit along the back allowing you to "snap" it around cables. However, it is only a marginal improvement as a trip hazard. If possible, go up over walkways. It seldom is though... -

So... that's at least 50 years away.* * Fusion reactors have been 50 years away, for the last 50 years, and are still 50 years away. It's a quantum thing, or something. -
Japanese city worker loses USB containing personal data of 500k people
Andrew_C replied to elsiegee40's topic in IT News
I wonder... If this hadn't made such a splash in the press, the thief would have found the stick to be encrypted, and just binned it. Now that it is obviously so valuable, lots of high-level cyber-criminals will be interested in it. Possibly with the money to crack it. -
Any ex builders on here need advice on some roof joist is it to code
Andrew_C replied to round2it's topic in General Chat
Either replace all those joists to reach the bearer, and use hangers, or possibly (many years since I dealt with building regs) put a couple of side - side joist in to carry the ends. ETA - It might be worth contacting your local building control. It may be that your conservatory is "outside of the scope" or it maybe that you don't want them involved because it ISN'T outside the scope, and you haven't applied. However, you might find they have a lot of clout with a builder who has multiple jobs on their patch that they start taking a pointed interest in. -

Hot water heating by immersion or using boiler?
Andrew_C replied to nicholab's topic in General Chat
Quite possibly, but too many variables to work it out without much more data. -
Future Classroom project, healthy budget!
Andrew_C replied to supportman's topic in How do you do....it?
Multiple outputs from whatever device used for computing. Something like - Laptop screen has MIS and email on it, monitor showing the teacher what is being shown to class. -

Same woolly wording that got us into the mess. "Only go to work if essential" - to whom? -
