I too have a hard time finding something to watch until I get suck in youtube hell watching large forgings being hammered on or large engines being started.

I find that if I increase customer speed plans, usage goes up, and nobody notices. And new customers that sign up for a 10M plan peg at 10M during Netflix hour, customers that sign up for 15M or 25M same thing. I was expecting there would be a quantum jump from 6M for best quality HD to ~20M for UHD, but they seem to be able to run at 10M or 15M if that’s what the customer has. Judging from the traffic graphs, I don’t think it’s necessarily multiple streams adding up to use that much, although that happens also. My belief is there’s a lag as people buy new streaming devices. A lot of older streaming sticks and Rokus and stuff were not 4K capable, while anything new you buy probably is. People also tend to be cheap about streaming devices – Firesticks are popular. But because they’re so cheap, people get new ones, and a lot of new hardware is 4K capable. Soon 4K will be mainstream. Not sure that will be true of 8K, it could flop like 3D TV. I was being a bit facetious about cartoons and My Little Pony, probably those aren’t available in UHD or maybe even HD. But in the evening, people are mostly watching recent movies and exclusive content type TV shows, and those are likely to be available in whatever quality your connection can support, if your streaming device can do it. I’m constantly amazed how much video people watch because personally I can’t find that much I want to watch. But I think the difference is the exclusive content. You have to get hooked on a certain show and then you either watch it every week (for 2 seasons until it gets cancelled) or you binge watch it. I can’t invest in shows like that so I’m stuck looking for a movie or a rerun TV show on Netflix I want to watch and frankly there’s not enough of that to spend hours per day unless you’ll literally watch anything.

Back 15 years ago, when we were facing heavy competitive pressures, I doubled everyone from 128 to 256 and then to 512 kbps without increasing prices. Made customers happy. Did not increase my costs. That was a surprise to me. Just made the whole system more efficient. People get on and off faster.

I have a customer with a house that is mostly buried in the ground, and I think adobe houses similarly use the thermal mass of the bricks to average out t he daytime and nighttime temperatures. There have been news reports recently about advances in radiative cooling that can passively cool to as much as 20 degrees below ambient air temperature even during the heat of the day, by radiating the heat into space. Requires a coating that reflects all incoming sunlight. https://phys.org/news/2018-10-energy-saving-radiative-cooling-ready-real-world.html From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of David Coudron Sent: Friday, August 9, 2019 7:34 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Small climate controlled enclosure We have had pretty good luck fan cooling using relays. Seems very reliable, but of course will only cool to ambient temp and you have to be open to the outside. If you need a fully closed and cooled enclosure you probably will have to buy a good enclosure and purchase the cooling separately from what we have found by doing a quick look in the past. Polycase and FactoryMation have pretty good prices on decent enclosures. Kooltronic and others make closed loop AC/cooling for enclosures but we haven’t dug too deep on them as fans seem to handle the issues for now.

Would be nice if someone made an outdoor rated PON OLT that is affordable, but those don't seem to exist. I would be attaching this enclosure to a utility pole. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
