This was happening long before Covid.

Aaaarrr

A better understanding of what level of bullshit their employees were willing to take from them

I had ordered a SIM from them, then threw it in the drawer and promptly forgot about it. I’m going to see if I can find that again, thanks for the reminder.

We can’t all be perfect.

Aaaand… it’s gone.

Now it’s back.

Now it’s gone.

This is why I have a lemmy.ca login too.

I’m of two minds on this; the Cons would seem to support business at the detriment of the Canadian public, so offshoring would bolster profits of these businesses and therefore desirable to both sides. But Canadian conservatives seem to have a healthy distrust of the CCP, which doesn’t seem to be so big of a hot button for the Liberals, especially give the high support they enjoy from immigrants, which are largely Chinese. So it could go both ways. Obviously the CCP have latched on to the Liberals, but I actually think they could make more inroads more easily by greasing the Conservatives financially and by making it easier for Canadian firms to do business in China.

Both parties are schizophrenic when it comes to the Chinese. I think when it comes to getting elected (the primary driver of the LPC), they’ll publicly support China, but when they’re in power they’ll do what they can to keep them down in the interests of Canadians.

The CSIS documents reveal that the campaign’s primary goals were to ensure that a minority Liberal government was returned in 2021, and to defeat Conservative politicians considered to be unfriendly to Beijing.

So I’d say decidedly “anti”.

Does anyone know of a Canadian provider that offers an IOT data plan for multiple SIMs that share the data pool? I have a pile of telemetry devices I’d like to move to LTE with minor data needs per month each, but I need a low monthly cost per device with a shared data pool of like 5GB.

Yah, I’m in N Alberta and a farmer, fixing things at -30 is never fun. Those MC4 connectors are a pain in the ass when they’re cold.

140 is a little light but yah, it’s definitely a solar thing only. It’s possible it bounced over the 150 for a very short time to trip the cutout, and the 140 number you’re seeing is a time-smoothed average in your reporting system. If you’re using something trustworthy like a Smartshunt to get that data, then yah, tripping 10V short isn’t great.

I’ve never understood why women support the Church in the droves that they do. It’s mainly women keeping Catholicism alive despite being treated like shit for more than a thousand years.

That’s been my impression of Schneider, great on AC but their solar stuff is a placeholder for “nobody every got fired for buying Schneider”. I thought they ran Modbus on their comms, pretty sure I’ve seen the modbus maps for them around the Homeassistant forums. Maybe it’s just some equipment, but the Conext is modbus afaik.

I wouldn’t say the “150V” should be operating voltage by default, most SCCs I’ve used put that as the “do not exceed” number, just like the current. I’ve smoked relatively expensive charge controllers by being slightly over either of those numbers. Though Victron seem to be able to take it for a while without cratering.

What kind of charger are you using that needs to voltage match the batteries? I’m running 500V strings on a Luxpower 18K and it’s not an issue with the chargers in that.

The amount of things you need to be able to do as a farmer would astound everyone that thinks farmers are yokels. Run a multi-million dollar business and you need to learn things, who knew?

the prices came tumbling down again thereafter.

Not from what I’ve seen. Canola hit another spike a couple weeks ago pulled up by the general veg oil complex, we sold a few loads then, there is some of the usual seasonal drop heading into harvest now. Canola is also driven by demand from crush plants coming online across Canada. Barley and oats are doing well too, accounting for harvest pressure. Which does mean beef will generally stay up based on feed prices that seem baked in for a while.
