Pellet heads!! What's up today?

Lots of snow and more snow. Had a few cold shots also. I lost count but definitely over 2ft and 3-4 ft drifts. It's not even close to Xmas, guess it's gonna be one of those winters.

The snow on the car was only 2 days worth.

 

Dell has a couple that are reasonably priced a 24" for $580, a 27" for $730.

One thing now is prices have/are going to go up as memory and storage prices have jumped drastically. The 32Gb DDR5 kit I got a year ago for around $85 is now $200 or higher. SSDs have also gone up.I got a Black Friday deal on a 2Tb nvme drive, $130 but most 2Tb nvme drives are now $180-$200+. nVidia just announced they are no longer providing the graphic card memory along with the video card processor to the companies that make graphic cards, they will have to source the memory on their own. So video card prices will be going up. AMD will probably do the same at some point. Until the AI bubble bursts, pc hardware will be expensive.

Your current computer more than likely has an Intel CPU that has a GPU built in to the CPU and not a separate video card. That AOC system has an AMD CPU with a GPU built in to it as well. But it does perform a bit better than older Intel HD graphics.

CPUs with built in graphics use part of the system memory as there is no separate, dedicated video only memory. That can slow down performance on an older system.

I have had a couple AOC monitors over the years and have had no issues with them. No idea on how reliable their all-in-one systems are.

Holy cow, that is cold for down there. It got a bit colder here, but not by much. When I left for an appointment at 8:45am yesterday morning, it had risen to 3* (don't know what the lowest was). It has been a colder than normal period for the last 4-6 weeks. averaging 10* colder in November, and so far, 20* colder than the average for December. I've already been doing cold mitigation in my under-house garage because it got down to 36* already. Have a space heater in there now, but yesterday morning had to help it by opening the door to the basement, and letting the P61a heat it.

BTW, that is the same station I have

Oatmeal comes in a 0 NA form it is called Quick Oats.
Quaker is one maker.

I'm not sure if this is a continuation of a conversation we had previously (and I've forgotten about)? I use quick oats all the time - oatmeal with a banana in it is my preferred breakfast.

 

I'd like at least one more sensor to put in the shed. But, it looks like to have more than 3 separate sensors (separate from the home unit), you need to go to a model that is app based - without the home unit. I'm not doing that. And, I know for a fact you can't get another home unit and use separate sensors for that.

 

It is and there is a difference between instant Oatmeal and Quick or 1 minute Oatmeal and that difference is 75 mg or in my case 150 mg.

 

Post a picture of the back of the sensors some of them actually allow for 8.

 

This is one. It comes with 4 but can handle up to 8i.

Yes, that is true, 1-minute oats has 0mg sodium since the ingredients are only oats. Whereas they add ingredients, including salt, to even the plain quick oats. I use both types depending on what I am doing with them.

 

This model specifically state up to 3 sensors can be added to the display. This happens to come with the 3 sensors that it can use.



I also know for a fact a 4th can't be added, nor can a separate station be used for other sensors. I already tried that (I originally had a 1 sensor model - the closest sensors win the contest for both stations and they ignored anything else).

I believe they used to have another station that could take up to 6, but I don't see it any more. If I am remembering correctly, the display was very simplistic with just the basics of temp and Rh - no storage of hi/low temps or any other functions. plus, the display was so small that I wouldn't be able to see it anyway.

 

Weather has been wet here....But for December the temps have been mild..
Running the big stove most of the time by itself .
More rain on the way today....
