Interesting how many fast charging stations there are near me…

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/03/31

Via falconhunter “Voor langere ritten is een electrische auto wel degelijk een probleem want ‘t aantal oplaadpunten in de EU is een lachertje.Ik rij met mijn Tesla regelmatig van Amsterdam naar Berlijn. Lukt allemaal best hoor. en ik denk dat jij geen ervaring hebt en niet weet hoeveel laadmogelijkheden er zijn. Op de route naar Berlijn staan er 31 in mijn navigation system. Niet allemaal snelladers maar op dit moment meer dan genoeg. https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=z8zu7Vqr8anA.ke1npfrDkN7M Daarnaast, openbare snellaadstations gebruik je alleen als je inderdaad een keer ver weg moet, 95% van de mensen laadt gewoon thuis.”

I’ve added zoom level (z) and centre (ll) parameters to make the map easier viewable:

Replacement battery/Accu 9.6 V 2000 mAh for Bosh type 2607335461

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/03/27

Just in case I want a replacement battery/Accu 9.6 V 2000 mAh for Bosh type 2607335461, there are two:

For me the type doesn’t matter as my AL60DV 1411 chargers can charge both types if they are between 7.2 and 14.4 volts:

230 V safety on the work bench – Put your power supply in an old tablet container…

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/02/28

Great tip from Nelis Willers:

230 V safety on the work bench.
Put your power supply in an old tablet container. The high voltage is safely encapsulated and will not accidentally touch something. Of course don’t do this for a kW supply, only where low heat is generated, otherwise you might set a fire!

“Default” birth days

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/02/24

A while ago I overheard an HR conversion about birth-date spreads which went into a topic on “default” birthdays being especially common in countries where the exact day of birth didn’t matter much. I got curious, so I dug up some links:

I remember a very long time ago seeing someones passport with zero as the birthday. Boy I wish I had taken a picture back then.

“Developer Desks” – multi monitor setups in “Trading System” disguise.

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/02/17

via: “Developer Desks” – I think this company is artificially limiting their source of income. – Kristian Köhntopp – Google+

Interesting as the company provides multi-monitor fitting systems up to 8 wide by 4 high and full solutions (including PC and monitor) of 7 wide by 2 high monitors. Even custom made solutions are possible: Sonderlösungen – Trading-PC. They provide electric height adjustment systems too:Elektrische Höhenverstellung – Trading-PC.

Their sister company provides desks and other furniture related to multi-monitor systems: Sedergo – High-End Furniture Made in Germany. They provide height adjustable desks as well: Elektrische Höhenverstellung. Both companies are owned by XECURIS GmbH & Co. KG

One day, I’ll redo the office (:

GSM/3G/4G/LTE/… enable or disable caller ID when calling

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/02/13

When testing the setup of a Fritz!Box 7490 with fiber connection, routing anonymous/withheld ISDN calls to a new answering machine I needed to test if only Caller ID calls were getting through.

The easiest was to do this from my mobile phone.

Izzy explained how to in callerid – How can I make anonymous calls for everyone but contact list? – Android Enthusiasts Stack Exchange.

Basically all cellular networks based on GSM or derived technologies allow you to prefix any phone numbers with:
