Got a sous-vide for Christmas, the Joule. Seems pretty fancy, it's all app-controlled so it can be completely submerged, and has a magnetic base to keep it down. Cooked the best pork chops I've ever had with it, and did amazing steaks too. The kids were done their pork chops before I even sat down for dinner, and the applesauce was untouched. That's a first in our house, so early results are pretty promising!

Looks like the iphone of the sous vide world

I picked one up last year. Fun stuff.

[JfuckinC]

Haha I thought you had to strip all the wires and put it into the cat5 plug the first time I did that

Is it actually as simple as changing the connectors? Would be nice to get ethernet to the other apple tv.

Kind of depends on what sort of in wall cabling you have.

Depends. My house was wired with Cat5e for everything, including the telephone jacks, so it's simple for me. There is such a thing a 2-conductor telephone wire, and if that's what you have, you can't do it. I think most homes in the last 20 years are wired with Cat5e exclusively to save the electrician carrying around two types of wire, but you'd need to check.

I swapped all the telephone jacks in my house to Ethernet a few years back. Way better and I don’t have a home phone anyways.

[The_Rural_Juror]

I don't understand why they still terminate cat5e with phone jacks when everyone younger than ExtraSlow doesn't own a home phone.

I was really excited, until I realized I live in an '82 build, and likely wouldn't be able to just re-crimp. I wish I could just use the 2-wire to pull the cat5e through to replace it.

Yeah my house is a 2007/2008 build

Generic Chinese PWM solar panel controller (Yes I know MPPT is better)
LiitoKala Lithium ion 18650 with 30 amp draw.
100 watt PTC ceramic thermostatic heating element.

Proof of concept pre-ordering to test various solar panels in a "dead short" condition as a simple heat transfer device. May become useful if 100 watt solar panels start to drop into the sub $60 levels.

Still too expensive and not enough capacity to replace carbon, but the ducks are all lined up for sure. Essentially 60 watts of heat for each panel for as long as the sun shines.

89 build here, wondering if mine are cat5e. Probably not.

If it's just two wire I might try pulling just for fun. I got lucky with my thermostat wire when i changed it from a 2 wire to 7, it wasn't stapled/secured at all so maybe i could get lucky with this too.

Was cat5e even invented in 89? haha.
