daftykinshmm after a power outage i had my pal pull the UPS input power and it fell flat instantly, thinking no battery is installed - so i suppose the nearby lightning killed the unit after all :O09:05
daftykinsno wonder it kept claiming it was on battery and online at the same time09:10
daftykinsin other news the pesky posties have delivered a new Protectli router to someone else nearby in town, no idea where - had to ask customer support to track it down for me09:18
zxmpirouter phone home... router phone home... :-P09:20
daftykins:D09:21
zxmpii think there'd be a market for an airtag post where when you order something they'd throw an airtag or tile into the package and send you the details of it so you could watch it and then have an envelope in the package so you can post it back to them 09:23
daftykinsi've seen that done for some class of items, with a gyroscope in it too so they can try to gauge whether a particular shipment has suffered undue stress en route09:51
zxmpimight be easier than following a package on a delivery site that updates every 4-6 hours versus can be at the door when it gets within 100metres of your house10:14
daftykinsoops accelerometer i probably meant10:31
zxmpiotherwise we'd be treated to a parade of postmen with packages balanced on 1 corner on crossbar of their bikes held in place with gyroscopes :-P21:52
