So what is the law that requires UL, ETL or other NRTL for power supplies in network equipment? If such a law exists then how does Ubiquiti get away with selling unlisted product in North America?

Most networking equipment doesn’t have a UL or other NRTL listing. I don’t think any Ubiquiti product includes a UL mark. Even their power bricks and devices that take line voltage lack a listing. Even if a product does have a listing it’s

As long as the laptop has Thunderbolt 3 or 4 you can use a thunderbolt to PCIe enclosure with a SFP28 network card in it. It wouldn’t be very portable but neither is a fiber optic tether.

I picked up an inreach mini a few years back for emergencies while backpacking. I’m gonna get rid of it and use Apple SOS instead. Family being able to track my location and being able to contact emergency services is good enough for me. I

Prop 13 applies to both residential and commercial property. Also new home construction would be assessed at the currrent market value. So no difference from a tax perspective for the town/city.

What I don’t understand is why cities like Menlo Park, Palo Alto and Cupertino allowed to add office spaces for 100,000+ jobs but not required to add a similar number of residences for the people who work those jobs? Atherton isn’t building

Even just adding a little inuslation to a pipe will drop the heat loss down to a few watts/ft when dealing with a pretty large delta T. If you’re using 20k+ watts to heat a home the losses on the pipe are minimal. And I’m guessing thes

Intentionally deflating someone’s tire is also considered criminal mischief in most states.

This Toyota battery pack is 8.7 kWh compared to 13.5 kWh in a Powerwall. The Toyota pack can produce slightly higher (I assume sustained) output at 5.5 kW compared to 5 kW on a powerwall. But there is also no mention of the peak power outpu

I’m under the impression the concern is more about smoke being emitted during a fire which would then filter into a room and obscure escape paths. This is more of an issue in a commercial building where you have lots of people who need to m

“Another auction house managed to find the head in a catalog of items from a German museum in the 1920s and 1930s.” Per the article it was looted from a German museum. How the german museum acquired it originally is anyones guess. But it’s

Yeah because it’s so easy to verify creepage and clearance requirements with a bunch of squiggly lines all over the board… Add to that thermal properties and temp rise calculations. There’s a heck of a lot more to PCB design than just an “e

Even if the goods are ultimately destined for California they still will likely enter the US through Texas. It just doesn’t make sense for a truck coming from Laredo or Reynosa to snake it’s way accross northern Mexico.

If they include a USB A port then it forces users who have USB C cables to purchase adapters and results in more e-waste. Is there loads of space in the display? Looks like apple is packing quite a bit into a slim display profile. Not to me

At this point I see no reason to continue putting USB A ports in products. Continuing to include them is only going to prolong the transition to USB C. The great thing about USB is the protocol is the same for different connector types so y

For each kwh you feed to the grid you get a credit for the value of that kWh during that time. Say off-peak is $.20 and peak is $.40 (this is an exaggeration but makes the math easy). You would need to feed 2 kWh to the grid during off peak

This is my complaint too. There needs to be a way to share airtags with family members so they can also located missing items and they don’t get spammed with alerts. Without this option it’s just creating alert fatigue and will make users d

The UK Type-G plug design is very well thought out. The ground pin is first to make/last to break and it opens a cover on the live terminals when inserted to prevent accidental contact to live components. The power pins are recessed so

TRR won’t help if you deliberately half insert a plug and toss a penny in as suggested in this “challenge”. Also fwiw US residential power is 120/240V. Actual voltage can vary but should be within +/-5%.

The UK has the best designed plugs IMO but they sure are clunky as a result.

It takes at most an hour to setup the tooling on windows. My first intro into embedded development was setting up the esp32 IDF. While there may be simpler platforms out there, it’s not overly complex for anyone doing embedded development.
