It's a really common trajectory. In the late 70's and early 80's, Japanese cars were considered poorly made, cheap junk. But by the…

Totally agree - a hybrid Corolla is an extremely reliable and practical vehicle with very low running costs.

This deal is for the petrol version. The hybrid is ~$5k more expensive.

There is no scheduled maintenance on Tesla cars, apart from the recommendation to change the cabin air filter occasionally (which anyone…

This might be pretty good as a battery extender for something like the Oculus Quest VR headsets.

I was particularly interesting in having WiFi 6 for higher speeds and handling more devices.

This looks like it would make a decent budget WiFi access point if hardwired to the router. Thoughts?

@pepsicles Looks like you can get the Home hub for $171 at Reolink's webpage using code "ggr5fau" In fact, that code appears to give a…

No, lots of them have Google Home integration.…

That story was posted 4 comments above 8 hours before yours, and to be honest it doesn't reflect badly on BYD at all IMO. And the article…

Honestly, most of the story seems innocuous enough. It's not unusual for a relatively new car to have a failure as a result of a…

That's correct. Each device on the network will have an individual IP assigned by the router An unmanaged switch is not assigned an IP…

Routers assign IP addresses. Switches do not. The purpose of a switch (at least an unmanaged one) is just to connect more devices into the…

You can use the built-in SD card slot for storage, although that's less secure. Or you can use a NAS or FTP share. There's even a (paid)…

My project is to power a remote 4G PTZ camera using a single ~300W house solar panel, this MPPT solar controller and a 100Ah LiFePO4…

Is this only suitable for 12V solar panels used in camping applications, or will it also work with a house-type panel ~40V?

There are several people in this thread, and in other related threads, who are current owners of BYD EVs. I expect a few of them could…

Bear in mind that BYD do limited runs of manufacturing specifically for the AU and NZ versions of the Atto 3. They're not identical to the…
