  1. Google is racing to fix its new AI-powered tool for creating pictures, after claims it was over-correcting against the risk of being racist. Users said the firm's Gemini bot supplied images depicting a variety of genders and ethnicities even when doing so was historically inaccurate. For example, a prompt seeking images of America's founding fathers turned up women and people of colour. The company said its tool was "missing the mark". https://www.bbc.com/news/business-68364690
  2. This probably isn't helping your consumption, do you have pet penguins?
  3. Yeah, the important test is the one with the light ON. But it never hurts to do both, it will confirm that your test gear is functional.
  4. How many units had you used for 7,500 Baht?? Do you get your bill from the condo management or direct from MEA/PEA?
  5. A man went to the doctor’s office to get a double dose of Viagra. 👨‍⚕️ The doctor told him that he couldn’t allow him a double dose. “Why not?” asked the man. “Because it’s not safe,” replied the doctor. “But I need it really bad,” said the man. “Well, why do you need it so badly?” asked the doctor. The man said, “My girlfriend is coming into town on Friday; my ex-wife will be here on Saturday; and my wife is coming home on Sunday. Can’t you see? I must have a double dose.” The doctor finally relented saying, “Okay, I’ll give it to you, but you have to come in on Monday morning so that I can check you to see if there are any side effects.” On Monday, the man dragged himself in; his arm in a sling. The doctor asked, “What happened to you?” The man said, “No one showed up.”
  6. It's here: -
  7. As I've noted in another thread. The electrons don't care what colour the insulation is. Electricians do, but then check the function anyway. Relying on wire colour (particularly in Thailand) is unwise to say the least.
  8. Cripes! We are usually awakened at sparrow-fart by the wat next door getting the monks out of bed. And Madam's creatures wanting to be let out and fed (except the fish, they are very quiet)
  9. That's great, if the one with no wire is turned ON then it will light the neon, no issue. Now check at the bedroom light switch, with the light ON both wires should light the neon.
  10. This ^^^ I understand 100%. Long, long ago when I was at uni. I would go home each weekend; it was only an hour on the bike (Suzuki GT250 - did I say it was a while back). After a few months it became, every other week, then once a month, then mum would call and ask if I was coming home this year!
  11. It may well be, but it's also a good opportunity for her to bond with her course-mates and be a good grounding in "independent" living. Is the cost really that prohibitive?
  12. It's at times like that that good diagnostic technique is important. He measured at the meter and found 2A going "somewhere". If he had then measured at the point the overhead went underground, he would have seen no current. At this point he would know that the "leak" was between the meter and the underground section. It's called the "half-split method" and is one of the earliest fault-finding techniques taught.
  13. If it was on the house side of the meter it's your problem despite being on the PEA pole. I'd just be happy it's sorted.
  14. These kinds of "improvements" are outside our control as they are implemented by the software vendor. We have to take the updates if we want to keep support
  15. Are you suggesting that the switch should be in the neutral?????????
  16. I believe it won a competition in Wireless World in the 1970's.
  17. You can tell a REAL electronics lab by the sweet aroma of fried electronics!
  18. Resistor colour code - We learned that one too Family friendly version: - Black Beetles Running On Your Garden Bring Very Good Weather.
  19. We only have mains outdoor lights on the upstairs sitting area, unfortunately the one place suitable for a photo-switch can "see" the lights it controls. For ages I was using a carefully shaded sensor but in the end gave up and just put them on a timer. All our other outside lights are solar and controlled by the solar charge controllers.
  20. Power ON, finger on the end. You can also check the screws on the small breakers, they should light the neon.
  21. Electrons do not worry about the colour of the insulation. Electricians look at the colour, then check the function anyway!
  22. Power ON for all neon tests (care please).
  23. Not at the fitting. The swap would be at the supply end.
  24. Just check the most annoying ones 🙂 You should also check that your incoming supply isn't reversed. The bar on the left with all the white wires should NOT light the neon.
