Automatic Pip Dripping During a Freeze | j2i.net
Temperatures below freezing have been a lot more common in recent years. In an effort to protect the house from the damages that cold weather can bring is preventing the water in the pipes from freezing. Here, I'm trying out a product called the "Freeze Miser." This device is attached to a faucet outside. When the temperature reaches about 37F, it will automatically let the water start dripping. The device needs at least 10 PSI of water to drip. The instructions advise opening up the valve all the way.
I tried this out on my house, and so far it appears to work as advertised. Once it was below freezing, I went outside to check it and found the water dripping! Temperatures haven't come back above freezing, and that will likely be the case for most of the rest of the week. I'm sharing my experience thus far.

Elevation Labs AirTag Case | j2i.net
Переглядів 6921 день тому
I got a new Air Tag case that lets me use AA batteries to power it. According to marketing material that I've read, if I use Lithium Ion batteries the tag can stay powered for up to 10 years. (I can't validate this claim, of course). Here, I show what's in the packaging, perform a quick water-resistance test, and then try it out with a new Air Tag. Want to get one?

Gundam Perfect Strike Figure Assembly | j2i.net
Переглядів 3382 місяці тому
While in New York City, I picked up a couple of Gundam figures from a local TESO. I got around to assembling one of them this weekend. There were a lot of pieces in it! I don't make a lot of models like this. I'll admit to be slightly intimidated at all the pieces at first. I found that the assembly wasn't difficult and I enjoyed putting it together. If you don't have a TESO store in your area,...

Applying Thread Lock to a Battery Clip | j2i.net
Переглядів 563 місяці тому
The belt clip for one of my photo batteries came loss after I walked in NYC with it for a few miles. To keep that from happening in the future, I'm applying a thread lock compound to it. I've also used this on my iPhone case, which functions as a video cage for my iPhone (j2i.net/go/iPhoneCage ). I'm using the blue Loctite 242. This is for temporarily binding screws to their holes. There also e...

Network Rack Installation | j2i.net
Переглядів 175 місяців тому
When I left off, I had assembled the new network rack. In this video, I get it mounted on the wall in my basement/garage. In the area where I did the installation, the studs are exposed (great!). I didn't want to put the screws that anchor the rack in a stud. Instead, I secured some 4x4 (which are actually 3.5 by 3.5 inches) to one of the walls. I did "notch" the 4x4s so that they fit in with t...

I'm reorganizing my at-home network. I'm ensuring all of the cabling in the wall is replaced with Cat 6 cable. Cabling will be run to places it had not been at before. I am moving the hub for my network from one of the extra bedroom closets to the garage. The first step in doing all of this is to get a rack in which I can place my router, switch, and some other network equipment. I've purchased...

T13 Robot Assembly

I got some of the T13 Robot figures and assemble them here. I got these as models for drawing. Wondering how well they could work for stop-motion animation. The entire set was relatively cheap. They were around 18 USD after a coupon was applied. Affiliate link: amzn.to/3y1b5Lt My main channel is at @j2inet Instagram: j2inet masto.ai/@j2inet blog.j2i.net
Solar Scope for the Eclipse | j2i.net

j2i.net/go/eclipse The Eclipse for 2024 is in a few days. In the hopes of seeing it (it will be cloudy) I picked up a cheap solar scope. This is only good for looking at the son. But for the price that I paid, I think it is worth it. It was cloudy on the day that I was taking this photograph. The picture of the sun in the video and on the thumbnail was taken through the clouds. If you want to s...

Collectable Meta Poke Ball
Переглядів 6310 місяців тому
I picked up this meta electronic Poké Ball replica. This is the best representation that I've come across, in terms of presentation, quality, and sturdiness. It responds to a hand coming near it, touching it, and to a button on the front. When this button is pressed, it does the familiar light animation where it pulses white for a while and then turns either green or red. The case that comes wi...

also mine does not turn off when i remove it? i have a iphone 14 pro maX
really cool device, i got it, only grip is theres no turn off button u need to unplug it to stop the fans
This battery was crap, I lost video footage because the battery died when there should have been 25% left. And I get only around 1000 pics with this, I get over 2000 with Canon's LP-E6NH
They could burn through dark colored rubber
Great video. Just fyi… I have the same blue/purple laser pointer, and it was tested to over 100mw. That’s 95 mw over the legal limit for sellers. If this laser hits your cats eyes it is going to go blind. Even your eyes aren’t safe without safety glasses if you get any glare beams in your eyes. Be careful my friend
yes it is super stupid to use them this way
Is there anyways yu can do a video of the best lasers to buy on Amazon ?
Sleek and premium, nice 👌
Nice collection 😉👌🏻
that actually looks cool
