Just looking into buying an 8-port unmanaged 2.5Gb switch.

Seeing the TP-Link switch named: TL-SG108S-M2, sold at 129 EUR.

Now just next to it in Amazon, up pops an advertisement for a:

Mercusys switch near equally named: MS108GS-M2, sold at 56 EUR.

Specs all look identical. Both in metal cabinets.

Heck, they both even look like 100% the same, except for the company logo on top...
Never heard about MercurSys before, so just checked out a bit. Appears to be a subsidiary of TP-Link. So is this like the exact same switch, but sold off-label at a cheaper price? What is the catch here?

What tools can you recommend? Is it worth the extra money to go for one of the better Klein crimpers?

Only need it for standard ethernet Cat6a RJ45 setup. Pass-Thru (EZ) should normally suffice, as we are not going to move/unplug/plug the cables/switches/hotspots much after first installed and the house is dry and no exposure to humidity/degradation or similar.

Still worthwhile to avoid any uncertainty/loose connections to invest in a good crimper, ideally one that can do all in one. Cutting, stripping and crimping...

What brand/model can you recommend for this please?
And how to ensure you get some good quality pass-thru connector plugs? (brands/models?)

Is Cat7 worthwhile the extra cost and trouble or is like Cat6a already more than sufficient?

Think about a family of 4, a couple watching 4k Netflix and one playing PS5. Then some PCs and phones/iPads using web browsing via WiFi.

Internally WiFi6E infrastructure with mesh WiFi hotspots wired direct via backhaul, some wired 4k security cameras, NAS and a 2Gbit fiberline to the outside world.

Endnu en sag hvor en ung tåbe går med kniv i nattelivet...

Man kan så spørge sig selv, hvad en 13-årig knægt gør midt i Aarhus midt om natten og truende med en springkniv??? Tyder på, at det er mere end blot ham som burde granskes af de sociale myndigheder.

Det er en udenlandsk mand, der mandag blev fundet i Gudenåen. Efter tirsdagens obduktion af den afdøde stod det klart, at manden er blevet dræbt. Tilsyneladende blev han fundet med at bil-batteri bundet til benene...

Politiet søger vidner. Manden blev fundet i Gudenåen nær Brovejen nord for Svostrup ved Silkeborg lidt før klokken 16.30 i mandags af en forbipasserende. Han kan være blevet dræbt op til en uge før end han blev fundet.

Manden er beskrevet som omkring 30-40 år, 165 centimeter høj, slank og med kort, mørkt hår. Desuden havde han kort skæg/lange skægstubbe.

Manden var iført lyse shorts med lodrette striber.

Spændende og detaljeret rapport fra Det Kriminalpræventive Råd, der gennemgår den historiske udvikling af kriminaliteten i Danmark fra 1995 til 2025.

Mange ting at reflektere over, idet mange relaterede emner dækkes. Anmeldelser, offerundersøgelser, skadestueaktivet med mere er medtaget. Det positive er, at der er mindre kriminalitet end tidligere. Den kriminalitet der er, er mindre personfarlig og mere af kriminaliteten bliver anmeldt end tidligere.

Have seen gameplay posted recently from BF6, that shows old classic maps as Wake Island, Golmud Railway, Cairo Bazaar (Grand Bazaar?) and Operation Firestorm have been added to BF6.

There are only a handful of active servers left for BF4 and the successful ones are crashed every hour or so by immature hackers, often leaving the servers empty again for hours. Time to move on. But is BF6 sufficiently polished to be worth to engage with it?

Haven't played much since the BF2042 meltdown, so just asking to know if BF6 is worth going for and if EA became serious with their AC promises?

Seen that several old-timer maps are put into the BF6, so was considering a revival if it's not infected with cheats.

Kevin Bove Mikkelsen slap for forvaring i byretten, men nu har anklageren anket sagen til Østre Landsret.

To kvinder har med blot fire ugers mellemrum anmeldt voldtægter i samme område af Odense. Begge sager er indtil videre uopklarede. Men nu har politiet dog frigivet nærmere beskrivelse af de to mænd der eftersøges. Man kan undre sig over hvorfor beskrivelserne ikke kom ud noget før?

Is it both practically possible and a realistic opportunity to try and figure out how to use a modern 3D printer, to produce new white colored frames and button tops?

Renovating a 18 year old house, where they used the same darker colors for many of their rooms, including more than 120 electric plugs of this brand and color scheme:
Legrand: Sagane, Xelio.

The electric plugs and mechanics of them still work perfectly fine, but ideally we would enjoy to have them all changed to be of white color instead for their front facing frame and button switch pads themselves.

All could previously be chosen and mixed individually to customer preference, but unfortunately then the Legrand company chose to discontinue the entire Sagane serie here few years back. So bit of shame if we now also have to change everything of all plugs screwed into the walls here.

Hence the question: Is it realistic to consider a way to 3D print the frames and the button faces we would want in white color for these?

Is it even economically viable also, or just cheaper anyway to take the hit and buy entire new sockets/switches/pads for everything?
(we have single/double light switches, sun stores up/down switches, coax plug switches, RJ45 plugs, power plugs, speaker volume up/down switches, etc)

It does not need to be exact match of old shapes, as long as it looks decent standard and fit the back-end taps into which they need to be mounted/screwed.

Flere detaljer kommer nu ud. Hvor sammenkædningen af branden, skyderi, fundet af den skudræbte og så ransagningen af lejligheden i Nørresundby nu er bekræftet.

Politiet fandt våben og ammunition i lejligheden, hvor drabsmanden boede.

Any know of a free app for iPhone that via the camera reliably can provide the Kelvin degree of the light source?

Aka you hold your iPhone with camera towards a white light source, and the app can tell you if its a light source at 2700 kelvin, 3000 or 4000 kelvin.

Or is it utopia to wish for such an app to be reliable due to the involved tech and interpretation required? (different phone lenses, different lumens intensity, different distances to the light source, etc that all may play a role in the accuracy possible for such an app to function)

Have set up a hybrid of the big DynaTrap and also using the BioGents bait in it to see if that could improve the mosquito catch rate. So will take it down here in a few days to count the factual catch, to dissect flies, night butterflies etc apart and then also to see really how many mosquitos it really have caught or not.

To do this job the most easy way, expected to putting the hole catch net/bucket into a deep freezer to getting all the insects properly killed first.

But approx how many hours would you advice to having it in the freezer to ensure all the insects are dead?

When looking at their diabetes patients and the user base, then several subjects appear to be repeatedly coming up again and again.

Number 1: Being lack of information/promotion to the medical educated doctors and endos, who essentially are the ones to believe in it and proactively prescribe the sensors to their patient base. Even patients that figures out on their own that the Eversense sensor could be ideal for them are often met with doctors/endos who never have heard about it or do not feel eager to endorse/prescribe it for them no matter.

Number 2: Next frequent subject is for the patients who actually do have a supporting doctor/endo who is willing to prescribe it, but then even when contacting Senseonics, there are no active implanters anywhere near proximity to the patient. Have had conversations now with several patients who are giving up due to this, some though have managed to like traveling several hundred miles and even out of state from where they live, to getting the implant done.

Number 3: Last but not least is the financial issue, as many of the health insurance agencies are not positive for reimbursing the sensor itself or the cost of the implant procedure, or both of them. This despite maybe even the grand total costs are still less than what current coverage is for the same patient using the old tech CGMs for their blood sugar measurements.

These were just the 3 most obvious and most frequently brought up issues in the Eversense user group and for interested future users of them. Are these also the most pressing bottlenecks for the Eversense management team? If so, how do they go about solving them and what are the options to getting this done faster and more complete? The patient volume growth rate does not appear to accelerate much really if anything. But considered key if we should see value growth for the company.

What are your observations about key issues that needs addressing, how to going about it and in what order? Based here in Europe, but it looks to be just a few lost individuals placed hapzard around to trying to drive some customers in. This ought to be a very lucrative market when executed with proper planning and weight.

We have tried various setups now for last 10 days or so, but don't think we have had much luck with it so far...

Think we wanted to overcompensate and made it too complex by doing multiple strategies in the same bucket. Next, think we will try and running them clean one by one instead to figure out what may bring best harvest yield. 😄

Have you had any experience with any of these lamps and what is your verdict?

Frequent promoted DIY ways to combat mosquitos are:

• Make a bucket of water and add aka bacillus thuringiensis that kills the mosquito larvae coming out of their eggs, so they get no off-springs...
• Make a bucket of water and add some sulfo soap, so the mosquito drowns in it, when it lands to lay their eggs...
• The above, but with a twist: Make a bucket of water, mixed in with sugar and yeast to generate CO2 to lure the mosquitos in, with soap so they drown when landing on the water surface.

But why are we not seeing any advice/YouTube videos of folks trying to combine all the above at same time in the same single bucket?

Any chemical/science reason why they could not work at the same time and be more versatile to lure mosquitos in, no matter if they come to lay their eggs or to find blood to suck?

So one single bucket, with sugar and yeast to generate CO2, with some fungicide/bacteria (the mosquito dunk type) to kill the mosquito larvae and then also some soap/sulfo so the mosquitos drown upon trying to land in the bucket.

Would this triple-whammy not be the ultimate bucket of doom?
If not, please provide guidance.
