Subj : PoE Window Passthroug To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Mon Dec 22 2025 11:10:00 Hi Daryl! BM> Greek army uniform. Swiss Guard. ...Scottish kilt DS> Red Skelton said that when he was growing up, "nothing in a DS> skirt was safe...nothing. Then that day when the Scotsman about DS> beat me to death!!" . Remember that old commercial "Try it! You;ll like it!" BM> "This home is protected by a false sense of security"! DS> I also have a decal with "Dachshund Security Company"...death DS> from the ankles down. If they gnaw away the feet and ankles the rest of the body eventually topples over: now all at dachshund level! BM> I learned and practiced a lot of my hobby electronics on broken BM> stuff. Dad's attitude was I couldn't make it much worse! :) DS> Then, you made him a liar. I don't recall 'killing' anything. There were some TVs, etc., I was given for parts but these were dead-dead anyway. The only failure is I had built a shortwave/medium wave receiver from a kit - Eico?? (Was not Heathkit.) That one for some reason one band never worked. Even had at least one of Dad's friends who were Electronic Engineers and they couldn't find the problem. (EE's employed by such sites as Sanders Associates > Lockheed > BAE, Raytheon.) BM> Recharge with power off -- apparently nothing. Pulled battery, BM> powered up but took several minutes for it to get it's poop BM> back in a row (I think I just mixed two or three metaphors!) BM> before I saw a screen. (New battery should be arriving today.) DS> Batteries...cellphone and otherwise...run down so quickly. Yes. I bring my cell phone with me when I go somewhere but generally don't use it so have to remember to charge it. I have a small box in the glove compartment of the car with a charger in it -- just in case! Also a charger in my Emergency Bag in case need to escape the house quickly. BM> I'd try my routine, especially the no-battery part. The BM> battery has some sort of monitoring electronics in it and maybe BM> it's screwed up and/or the software in the computer is messed BM> up and preventing a boot. Guessing, but AFACT wouldn't break it BM> further. DS> I don't think there's a battery in it. That would really shorten the battery life!! I don't know of any but wonder if some laptops/OS/software requires a battery? LIS my T61 will run without a battery installed. BM> One would think with how crowded the 2 GHz band is, plus BM> interference from microwave ovens, they would run to the 5 GHz BM> band. Of course the problem may be the IoT (Internet of BM> Things) regulations. DS> I thought that the higher speed hadn't kicked in, but when I DS> did the speed test through the browser, the higher speeds showed DS> up. The Ookla test was being done on the slower speed network. In my limited experience I've found slower networks will result in slower transmit and receive speeds. BM> Hey! You're right! DS> I looked at it through the mirror. Your mirror is transparent?! BM> Zero bytes -- dentist likes that!! DS> Or the dentist puts all the stuff in the patient's mouth, then DS> asks "So, tell me...how's the family??". "Mrf glp brz crruk smph!" ...And that's how rumours get started! ¯ ® ¯ BarryMartin3@MyMetronet.NET ® ¯ ® .... The hotel I'm in has a lovely closet.
