    soldering AAA batteries

    As I keep saying, there isn’t a direct relationship between generation and frequency. A mobile “generation” is mainly about the radio technology and network architecture: how the spectrum is used, how data is encoded, how devices are scheduled, how antennas are used, how handover works, latency...

    soldering AAA batteries

    Changed by addition, sure. 5G uses additional frequencies that 2G doesn’t, but I really want to get away from associating the two. Successive generations achieve better performance not primarily by using other frequencies.. You can’t escape the physics of the universe, that low frequencies...

    Routing Ethernet transversely to I-joists from front to back of house

    Go for it. Running multiple is reasonable but replacement can often be done by using the old cable as a pull cord

    soldering AAA batteries

    Er, it wasn’t quite what I was going for. The example was always that the road (radio waves) stays the same, and it is how it is used that gets cleverer and cleverer. Radio waves haven’t changed since the start of the universe, they just wiggle along, travelling some distance, passing through...

    Paddle Mixer Bricklaying Mortar

    If you’re struggling to “beat a brick down” you’re probably putting too much mortar on or not adopting a good “pair of toblerones” shape Show us a picture of what your laying looks like just before you set the brick in place When I set mine I scoop the mortar on the board, tip the trowel up on...

    Print a hexagon. Measure it, use the scaling percentage option in your print settings if it’s wrong, to increase or decrease the size Cut out and use to mark up Or just print loads, stick them on your wood and cut to the lines

    0.8m x0.6m 12.5mm board repair

    You could but I bet if you set your level at any other point on the wall, unrepaired place, you’ll find a 1mm deviation that you don’t notice in normal use anyway

    soldering AAA batteries

    G-ness isn’t much to do with radio waves. Radio waves are the road; they don’t really change or advance, they’re just a way of getting info from one place to another G (generations) represent more like cars, and are advancements in technology. If you look at the progression of car technology...

    Not wrong though; Everyday50 was a genius leg up over other network offerings, as was Orange Wednesdays pizza express & cinema. Great times

    soldering AAA batteries

    Perhaps very old phones had them, and the OP does appear to be trying to keep dinosaur tech alive. I’ve a Nokia 1011 somewhere (that Wikipedia says has a NiCd battery), and notionally it does still work in that it sends SMS, and makes phone calls https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_1011 But…...

    Window catching

    At the top and bottom you should see some kind of ramped block that helps the window locate and be secure. Is it catching on that, and not sliding down it? Could that be the thing that cause the original hinge to bend? (if it’s misaligned)

    Roller and mini roller sleeve...same texture...advice needed please

    I find it easier to just take the screws out, pull the face away and big roller the whole thing around a socket They mostly wipe clean easy if you miss, as long as they aren’t some brass/brushed metal thing

    Scrim Tape Query

    They’ll be faster than you too, reeling it out and cutting it with the trowel Some tape screw holes Where the new PB joins the exiting wall, are you gonna run a grinder down the existing wall to match the heights either side of the join?

    I understand your unnecessarily shouty point but lithium batteries like 18650s are frequently sold with tabs on for soldering/messing with..

    Removing a upvc French door set that is rendered outside and platerboarded inside.

    The main question is whether you want to keep the door and sell/use it elsewhere, or if you want to skip it

    soldering AAA batteries

    Are you sure you’re not thinking of soldering tabs welded onto batteries? You can buy batteries with tabs on already ..but if you’re having to go to such lengths because the battery is no longer made, what good is the phone likely to be, really?

    Creating a Sunburst Ceiling decoration on a budget?

    Seems you’re allowed up to the seating area; can you take a decent camera or a long selfie stick? it looks like cable trunking cut at 45 degrees

    How to repair dead dry battery (True or false)

    Don’t waste your time; if it’s goosed to the point of needing an influencer’s clickbait to tell you to fill it wilt Epsom salts it really needs replacing. Even if you get a bit of charge into it, it will let you down at some critical future point, in the snow, 100 miles from home

    Earth - neutral fault on ring final, any ideas on how to find with ease.

    Are you doing this in halves? Disconnect at CU end, check for fail (should show on both), disconnect half way round, only one should fail (unless two faults), disconnect that one half way etc If you can gauge the route of the ring that is.. If there isn’t an obvious route I suppose you could...
