It's the latter. In a large enterprise, the backup configuration can be wildly complicated, a matrix of systems, schedules, slas, etc. Just reconfigure your backup software to use this new virtual tape device and you're on your wa

Pre-charge has one of two meanings here. Most mini-split units have the refrigerant in the compressor unit. After a complete installation, evacuation, etc, you open a valve to release the refrigerant into the lines. There are also DIY varia

I was on the lookout for it, as it was a concern of mine. I haven't noticed an issue. It's also mounted on an exterior wall of my garage. That wall lacks insulation but has drywall. It may be more of an issue if it shared a wall w

I'm holding out to see if Matter fills the gaps I see in Apple Home. I have too many devices that are not supported in Apple Home. Many of which are not easily replaced, such as an appliance.

I believe they now sell other size lines and extensions. I got hung up on the excess line set idea and did a full DIY install of a non-DIY model mini-split. I bought, borrowed, and rented a lot of tools, spent a lot of time researching and

In a similar vein, I can't use Siri on the EcoBee thermostat without also owning a HomePod. It's either not a technical limitation or a very poorly conceived one.

I have envy. I'm only one year into my second home with a gas range and I'm over it. It has excellent control (compared to traditional electric), however I find the rest of it frustrating. Any grease splatter and I'm removing

I had a PS/2 Model 80 and I was desperate to have a sound card. Somehow, through a work bulletin board, my father scored me a very rare Sound Blaster Microchannel Architecture (MCA) card. If I recall, I paid $150 for it. My friends and
