What To Do with a Dead or Unwanted HDR-FOX, HD-FOX, or DTR-T1000/1010
I keep meaning to have a serious look at what that that cap actually doing in this cct but have never got around to it - at one point I had the bits from the YouView version set up but they met with something obeying the laws of gravity during a crap-clearing session. It has an unstressed life...- everthewatcher

Indeed, but it's not being switched on and off several times a day whenever they want to watch a programme as per your "rather than being turned on as and when required".- everthewatcher

Middle ground is to use the timer. The in-use one here is on at 5pm, off at midnight with autodecrypt etc. scheduled from 11pm when I've normally turned in..- everthewatcher

Possibly a combination of the 2TB disk and the description? Hmm. I've got a couple of 500GB spare spares here, picked up cheap in charity shops or on FB, that I doubt I'll ever need.- everthewatcher

Assume v. Presume
There's a bus lane near here that's been suspended since late '21 with signs saying BUS LANE SUSPENDED USE BOTH LANES, although for some time the sign at the start was missing (as it was in the link) but it's long been replaced. The majority of drivers either don't notice them or don't believe...- everthewatcher

This is why charity shops need tech advisors...
Here they clearly have no one who even knew what it was let alone how to price it, and because of history I'll no longer tell them. A charity shop relies on turnover and has finite space so have to balance between what an item is actually worth and what a customer of the shop will pay for it...- everthewatcher

They do have an eBay shop, which was something I was involved in. Then their 'Director of HR' didn't understand what constituted an employment contract so I took them to an ET and got enough compensation to make it worthwhile. Last time I tried to point out they'd drastically underpriced...- everthewatcher

Media mistakes

Spotted this illustration above a DT Saturday article on list-making from 18 November '23 - I was using the paper to protect something hence the wrinkles. Looks like they gave up on world peace.- everthewatcher

The danger is the 400V or so on the biggest cap on the board. But it'll very quickly drop to nothing to worry about after removing the mains.- everthewatcher

Updated to the webif beta 1.5.2-7 on Sunday and it's now doing the prolonged " Processing request..." thing just it as did following updating to webif beta 1.4.9-1 - see my post further back in this thread. I've not yet applied the fix given at the time.- everthewatcher
