    Router Battery Backup

    Just want to second this. While I haven't done as much hands-on testing, my conclusion is basically the same. The only additional option I've looked into here is the idea of a DIY inverter-type system. My setup uses a Ubiquiti switch + 2x AC PRO access points, so the power draw isn't that much...

    Router Battery Backup

    It's hard to say. I don't think that the battery level indicator is very accurate. There were basically 6 lights on the front that indicate battery level, so let's say 16.67% per light. While mains are connected, the lights "above" the current level flash in sequence (presumably to indicate...

    Router Battery Backup

    From my experience, and the feedback received from Geewiz, the Ellies Cube Nova can't function as a UPS. It can't charge while it has things plugged into it. It's basically like a large powerbank, rather than something that can function as a UPS. I think the Ecoflow is the only one that...

    Router Battery Backup

    It cuts power to the outputs, the battery indicator indicates that it is charging, and the load indicator is fully lit but it is hard to know if it was indeed continuing to charge. In order to get it to power things again, I needed to turn it off (inverter switch), disconnect the load, let it...

    Router Battery Backup

    On the Ellies Cube Nova on Geewiz... I am pretty sure that the Geewiz description is because of the experience that I had. I bought the unit from Geewiz, tried to use it, followed all the instructions, but it kept inexplicably dying in the middle of the night. Eventually I setup a camera to...

    [W] Nintendo Gameboy

    What are they going for? I have 2x original Gameboy with boxes and all accessories. Powered them up the other day and they're still running, just the LCDs seem a little faded compared to what I remember. Still in good condition otherwise.

    Condition always evaluating to true

    Agree with this. If you nested, it would be even clearer: public static bool ValidatePhoneNumber(this string phone, bool IsRequired) { if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(phone) { if (!isRequired) { return true; } if (isRequired) { //shouldn't ever be anything...

    MTN DataShare and LTE device+SIM contract

    Hi everyone I currently make use of MTN's weekly data bundles because they are cheaper per GB than monthly bundles (R65 per GB vs. R160 per GB; even the 3 GB monthly bundle works out to R110 per GB). There are a few problems with this approach: Sometimes I forget to add a new bundle...

    iPad - and google apps

    Using imo for gtalk and the gmail app for mail. It integrates pretty well into the mail application too. Overall I would say that android is still a better communicator, but mainly because of the awesome Google integration.
