@revmem a long time ago i had a roommate who was an electrical engineering major, i asked him what the difference was and he said "A is for telco, B is for data" so i never really questioned it since. but i doubt the throughput would be affected much anymore.

@film_girl seems like Apple is readying themselves to pay a tariff? if the tariff goes through and applies to them, Apple might say “we’re not raising the price!” look like heroes. and if it doesn’t go through or they are (get themselves) excluded from it, Apple gets to pocket the extra cash.

@jerzone yeah not sure how that happened unless i tweaked the power plug sideways and something touched that shouldn’t have. was bound to happen sooner or later. i’ve got a new display screen coming that will also report over wifi, so i won’t need a wired module anymore. and i’ll have a 2nd display to put in another location, so that’s cool.

@jerzone mystery was solved quickly and new parts ordered! lol. not sure exactly what this is but it’s thoroughly cooked.

@jerzone interesting - i went to the ObserverIP and flipped it over so i could give you the model name, and now it’s not receiving or reporting. lol. oops. another electronics project!

@jerzone Ambient Weather WS-2902, and i report to wunderground using an Ambient Weather ObserverIP. i think the station saves the 'high' numbers it observes from the previous 30 seconds and sends those when it polls, so i end up reporting the highest numbers it recorded, versus just whatever was happening exactly when it polled.

i spent 2024 being thrown at challenged projects, over & over, trying to fix critical bugs and shove them across the line. didn’t take any vacation and ended up stacking all my time off in december.

i come back to work in january with a dismal utilization percentage (i’m punished for taking vacation) and thrown right back onto projects spiraling out of control.

i’m not a “hustler” & i don’t have youthful energy to give for free to my employer to compensate for their lack of ability to plan.
