Put an ammeter in circuit and see what it's drawing. If it's drawing less than the breaker's rating, change the breaker. Maybe the normal draw of the cooker is higher than your breaker's trip rating.   If the cooker is indeed the problem, then something must drive the induction coil. Check for shorted mosfets, igbts, or triacs.

How many pins on the plug?

The names are sufficiently similar that I often get them confused.   >Yes, it shows speed in both directions: TX and RX.   Very cool. That would give me a tool to test for local interference at one end of a wireless link without sniffing the traffic. If a client receiver is hearing RF junk from a local source of interference, the data rate from the wireless access point to the local receiver will probably be much lower in that direction. In the other direction, where the receiver does not hear any interference, the data rate will be higher. Acer, err... Asus, did that one correctly.       -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558

Hope you spend time with them.   >"We may be the smartest, best, most >powerful, and most knowledgeable, but it would stupid to mention >it in public. It tends to attract attention, something we really >don't >need or want. "   My sarcasm detector is registering here. But there is truth to what you say. There is alot not said about the history of Germany, like about the banks between WW1 and WW2. But also, Jews owned alot of businesses. I was brought up a similar way, somehow. When I was a kid my favorite present at Christmas or birthdays was books. I wasn't into stupid toys n shit like that.   Being studious at a young age like that does result in, I believe a better mind. My Grandfather was as Polish as they get. I used to go over on Saturdays and sometimes we went scrapping. He had his retirement, only owed a few hundred on his house, had CDs maqturing every month, and still got in his Ford Pinto ad drove it at 5 MPH scrapping, picking up those aluminum frame lawn chairs. He would strip them down and then when he had enough to literally fill the hatchback part of the car take them in. He knew how to use his mirrors. Later he started picking up TVs. We fixed a few and one Saturday I go over and he hands me some money. I asked what is this for and he told me he sold one of the TVs we had fixed together. While we were doing it, money had never entered my mind. However, later when I got to working age he said to me "Make them pay you". Meaning that, for example if "they" could get your services for $2 an hour "they" would have no shame in doing so, and such is the business world. He came up with a modification for knitting mills and the company who built them paid everything and flew him in at $500 per day to teach their engineers how to do it.   >"Huh? Get real dude. Joe Sixpack and Soccer Moms voted with their >dollars. They want the cheapest products, period, while >maintaining the highest standard of living on the planet. "   I have been saying something like that for years. In the 1970s when they wet to Kmart and saw a Zenith TV for $269 and a Sanyo for $229 they were happy to pocket the forty bucks. I absolutely agree, and the fact is I am starting to favor protectionism. Like these compaies who threaten the government that they'll leave if the taxes go up. GO, you ain't paying anything anyway. Ad then I would slap them with company specific tariffs. You paying now. And it would no longer be open season on the US consumer, you supply mandatory warrantees and parts on anything that costs over a hundred bucks. California used to have a law something like that until enough bribe, err lobby money got paid, and some places in Europe do have such laws. As much as I am against more laws, I favor something like that. It is ridiculous when a buddt of mine bought a new Samsung DLP and it broke under warranty ad threy said parts were no longer available. Then the state attorney general told him not to try to sue on his own or he would be excluded from a future class action lawsuit, which never happened.   Still enjoying that forty bucks folks ? That forty bucks also sent Zenith to Mexico. Their sales went up 4 % and profits like tripled or something like that.   >"Correct. I would say more than half. "   There is almost like a miniseries in the new Outer Limits about a guy who gets cold fusion to work and makes booms, and is an evil motherfucker. I think the name is "Final Exam" and it runs into other episodes including a Woman who builds a time machine and goes back and kills murderers before they commit the murder. Used to be available on hulu for free, not sure now but if you think you might be interested I'll find out and dig around the back of my head for all the episode names. They were not aired sequentially. They were a nice diversion and brought up some moral issues.   >"What have you done lately to help the sheep? "   Less and less. I am to the point of advocating a mass reduction in world population.   >"2. Try not to change the subject. It happens, but at least >don't be the culprit who does it.

Say something nice once in a while."   OK, you generally try to help people here and have a pretty wide knowledge base. Sometimes you give an opinion but I find that usually those are well thought out, not flippant etc.   On the other hand, some Europeans and Australians have a superiority complex.   Until they get into a war.   The joke about France, old guy was at the airport and didn't have a visa, they asked if he had ever been there before ad didn't he have a visa ?". He said something to the effect that he was in the army and when he got there, there were no Frenchmen around to show it to. Go ahead with your attitude up there in England or down under, and when some Muslim assholes attack you we might just show you that we are too stupid to shoot straight. After all, these assholes are on the internet every day calling us barbarians because we got guns.   >"Be tactful, diplomatic, and courteous. In >other words, act and be like a professional.

They are both dead.   >There is almost like a miniseries in the new Outer Limits about a >guy who gets cold fusion to work and makes booms, and is an evil >motherfucker. I think the name is "Final Exam"...   There's more here than you might suspect. While I was quite young, my favorite diversion was reading comic books. I would routinely get thrown out of the local drug store for reading comic books off the rack without buying at least one. Learning to speed read was an obvious result.   I continued my habit of reading comic books long after growing up and reading other types of books. Over the years, I noticed a change. In the older books, the businessman was either the hero, or the victim of the bad guy. At worst, the super-hero was there to protect the businessman from evil. Scientists were also there to do all kinds of cool things with brilliant inventions.   Then, it slowly changed. The businessman suddenly became the villain. The great scientist became the mad scientist, evil genius, or insane lunatic. Over the years, details were added, such as the businessman making or inheriting tons of money, which immediately turned him to the dark side. Meanwhile, the victims became archetypical nobodies, who have never done anything remarkable in their lives, and are easily susceptible to the machinations of the bad guy. The characters were often color coded by their abilities or IQ to make sure they were properly classified by the reader.   It made me sick to read this rubbish, so I gave up on comic books in about 1980 and sold my collection. However, I couldn't resist reading an occasional comic book and found that they had morphed into "action" stories, which largely mirror today's "action" movies. Is life so boring that we have to resort to ludicrous exaggerations of reality? When was the last time we had a real street chase scene where the participants destroyed everything in their paths?   So, what's wrong here? The Outer Limits was in the 1950's and was before the trend to vilify businessmen and scientists. I guess it could be considered ahead of its time. It wasn't hugely successful in the 1950's mostly because few people swallowed the pitch line. We were the greatest country after winning WWII and nobody is going to tread on our arrogant self-image. Today, The Outer Limits still has its following, is considered a cult classic, and has people like you offering its messages as some kind of morality lesson. Were someone able to make cold fusion work, they would be (in my never humble opinion) a hero, worthy of the highest acclaim, not because they made it work, but because they ignored all the nay sayers who said it couldn't work. They would certainly not be a bomb builder and evil scientist in the comic book and The Outer Limits traditions.   >On the other hand, some Europeans and Australians have a superiority complex.   Only if they're also Jewish.   >>"Be tactful, diplomatic, and courteous.

She is not into talking politics or electronics which is about it for me.   >"Learning to speed read was an obvious result. "   I used to be pretty good but the eyesight does not allow it anymore. Actually I can read paper more easily then a computer screen but I am simply not up to printing everything. Thought I did print the Protocols Of The Learned Elders OF Zion. Forgery or not, they got something to say. Like, I am an atheist but I read Revelations. More than once. My Father read the Bible and the Book Of Mormon cover to cover. The Mormons came to the house once. ONCE. In fact the Jehovah's Witnesses came to the house once. ONCE. He knew more than they did about their books. But then once he retired, I still went to work and he sat there and needed something to do. And he invited them in and gave them a cup of coffee and all that, but they did not come back often.   >"...and found that they had morphed into "action" >stories, which largely mirror today's "action" movies..."   I can't stand new movies and most of the TV shows. All fluff, not much plot and some of them look like they gave the camera to a ten year old. Even switching it to mono (if you even have that option) might not make the dialog intelligible. It helps. But even back in the 1960s 1970s mt Grandfather used to bitch that the music was too loud on the movies.   >"Today, The Outer Limits still has >its following, is considered a cult classic, and has people like >you offering its messages as some kind of morality lesson."   Not really, but it raises questions. The episode where the broad goes back in time and kills killers before they kill, think about that. Though fiction, think about that. And that is for us humans to think about, not just judges and lawyers and politicians. You go back in time and kill those who WILL be guilty to save the innocent, is that moral ?   In fact Gene Rodenberry got that subject up quite a bit, somewhat in TOS but alot more in TNG. Shame he died but he was born in the 1920s or some shit and was about ready. Rest in peace.   >">On the other hand, some Europeans and Australians have a >superiority complex.   >Only if they're also Jewish. "   As far as I can tell, not really. They seem to be jealous of our gu rights. They call us all kinds of names. Like we are cowards for carrying a gun and shit like that. And of course with the statistics. Fact is you take about five cities out of it we got lower murder rates than they do. There are alot of assholes in this country, alot in the inner cities, and then we got gang wars. they got good education and they watch their kids and can see when they stat going wrong. Here, Daddy is at work and Mommy is at the bar. When they don't get that guidance in the first five tears or so, there is no fixing that. I knew how to read and write and basic math before I ever went to school. Now teachers bitch that the kids don't even know their color and basic shapes. And that is because these n----s of every color do not teach them anything they just put them in a car seat and go smoke a joint.   I got nothing against pot, I like it alot, but when you have kids they come first.   >"Were someone able to make cold fusion work, they would be (in my >never humble opinion) a hero, worthy of the highest acclaim, not >because they made it work, but because they ignored all the nay >sayers who said it couldn't work.

"   Actually I have done a few things like that, but nothing of that scale of course. But the dude had a test in front of him in class and is had a question on it that read "Explain why cold fusion cannot work" and after a little though he walked out, and then planted a bunch of bombs at the school and pretty much held it hostage. Four hours of intertwined plots, I can relate all of it if you really don't want to watch it but really, you might want to just get some bagels and lox and watch them. Four one hour parts. I thought it as good as any Star Trek I had ever seen and I saw them all until Abrams took over and run it into the ground.   >"Try to act accordingly or you will find that how you make your >bed, is how you will sleep in it.

I have a fair collection of flashlights that were ruined by junk batteries. However, I don't keep records and have no data on which cells are the culprits, or how long one can expect them to last before leaking. Mostly, I use Costco Kirkland brand, which seems better than most, but still eventually leaks.   >claim to have more capacity to justify higher cost. Perhaps they do, >but my main concern is leakage.

So far, the Eneloop NiMH cells, which have a very low self discharge rate, seem the best compromise between performance, life, self discharge, and cost at about $2/ea.   -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558

Caused me lots of problems with various bits of kit. they must have changed the construction or suppliers.

Horace Algier <horatio@horatio.net>: Sep 17 05:24AM Here is a summary of what I know about the T-Mobile and Verizon plans to give you a "free" iPhone 7 32GB when you do two things: a. You trade in *any* iPhone 6 b. You keep your service for the next two years   Here are the Verizon phone numbers: http://www.tomsguide.com/faq/id-2346970/talk-real-person-verizon-wireless-customer-service.html https://www.800-numbers.net/verizon/ a. 800-922-0204 b. 800-256-4646 c. 800-526-3178   Here are the T-Mobile phone numbers: http://www.tomsguide.com/faq/id-2346088/talk-real-person-mobile-customer-service.html http://www.t-mobile.com/contact-us.html a. 877-453-1304 b. 877-778-2106 c. 844-270-0187   Here is a description of the Verizon trade in deal: a. https://www.verizonwireless.com/ b. http://www.verizon.com/about/news/get-next-gen-iphones-next-gen-network-available-verizon-lte-advanced-beginning-friday-september   Here is a description of the T-Mobile trade in deal: a. https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-32234 b. http://www.t-mobile.com/offer/apple-iphone-deals.html?icid=WMD_TM_Q316NPI_4BWFR9S6IA85960   There are three key concerns: 1. TRADEIN COSTS: 2. UNLOCK STATUS: 3. PHONE STATUS (vs SERVICE STATUS):   1. TRADEIN COSTS: Verizon and T-Mobile both have the same iPhone 6 requirements a. The iPhone 6 must turn on b. It must not be visibly damaged (e.g., no cracked screen) c. The water-damage sticker must be white (not red) d. The iPhone 6 can be *any* number of gigabytes of storage   At both Verizon and T-Mobile, you can visit a brick-and-mortar store to have them assess the iPhone 6 and annotate your service record that the iPhone 6 passes the requirements above.   2. UNLOCK STATUS: a. All Verizon phones are unlocked (even the iPhone 7 under tradein!) b. T-Mobile iPhone 7s, if under the trade-in, are locked but can be permanently unlocked after 40 days (if you tell them you're going to Europe).   The catch with T-Mobile is that the iPhone 7 must be put on the service line for those 40 days, whereas for Verizon, since the phone is unlocked, it *never* has to be placed in service.   3. PHONE STATUS (vs SERVICE STATUS): Verizon and T-Mobile both have similar requirements, with Verizon having a slightly worse plan that T-Mobile on length of service.   In both Verizon and T-Mobile cases, they don't care *what* you do with the iPhone 7 once you receive it. a. You can put it on your service line b. Or you can give it to a friend c. Or you can put it in your desk drawer   They don't care *what* you do with the phone.   However, in the Verizon case, they charge you $27/month *extra* on the first two bills for the phone, and then they reimburse you that $54 on the third bill, and the credits start to take hold for two years. (So, I think that means the Verizon 2-year deal is actually 2 years and 2 months.)   In the case of T-Mobile, the credits start on day one, so the 2-year deal is a 2-year deal.   Both Verizon & T-Mobile must charge you the sales tax on the full price of the iPhone 7.   Technically, the Verizon iPhone 7 is slightly better than the T-Mobile iPhone 7 for two reasons: a. The Verizon iPhone 7 is alredy permanently unlocked, and, b. The Verizon iPhone 7 is CDMA & GSM (while T-Mobile is only GSM)   NOTE: The Verizon iPhone 7 has a Qualcomm modem which is both CDMA and GSM while the T-Mobile iPhone 7 has an Intel modem which is only GSM.   Let me know if any of those details need honing.

The basic underlying concepts work in both environments (with some > fudging).   All we care about, for *this* discussion, is the MAC address of the 5GHz and 2.4GHz radios in the iOS or Android cellphones we are trying to track.   That MAC address is also called a BSSID.   Google also logs the SSID, the signal strength, and the GPS location, but they are not of importance for *this* discussion.   Only the MAC address (aka BSSID) is important for *this* discussion.   > SSID has nothing to do with cellphones. It has to do with wifi only. > The same is true for BSSID.   This is not true that "SSID has nothing to do with cellphones".   As Jeff and I just discussed, if an Android or iOS cellphone acts as an Access Point, then that cellphone will broadcast an SSID.   If that iOS or Android cellphone broadcasts an SSID, it also broadcasts a BSSID, which is unique to that cellphone. In fact, it broadcasts *two* BSSIDs, one for each radio (5Ghz and 2.4Ghz).   It's *those* unique BSSIDs which are captured by poorly configured Android devices and uploaded multiple times a day to the Google Public Database, along with the GPS location of the poorly configured Android device and the SSID and Signal Strength of the access point.   Notice this allows such iOS or Android cellphones to be tracked!   > SSID is just a name. There could be thousands of wifi access points > around the world with the same SSID.   I agree. SSID is "just a name". If the name ends with "_nomac", Google promises to *drop* that SSID from its' public database.   However, you must realize that the Google Public Database contains *more* than the SSID! It contains the *unique* BSSID associated with that SSID, and furthermore, it contains the Signal Strength of that access point at a specific GPS location of the poorly configured Android device that is near that access point.   Anyone who doesn't *understand* that paragraph above can't possibly understand the topic of this thread - so it's critical that the paragraph above be *understood*. > Each radio is a BSS with a BSSID, which is also known as a MAC. Each > network device/radio has (by design, but not always in fact) a unique > value for the MAC.   I agree. Specifically, if an iOS or ANdroid cellphone is acting as an access point, then its 5GHz and 2.4Ghz radio will broadcast the following: a. The cellphone AP SSID b. The cellphone AP BSSID   What you must understand to understand the question, is that poorly configured Android devices will *send* to Google not only that information above, but *more* information!   Poorly configured Android devices will send to Google: a. Your cellphone AP SSID b. Your cellphone AP BSSID (aka MAC address) c. Your AP signal strength seen by the poorly configured Android cellphone d. The GPS location of the poorly configured Android cellpone   > in the destination field of the packet and its own MAC in the source > field. The rest of the connection protocol is left as an exercise for > the reader.   This part is understood that the BSSID of the 5Ghz and 2.4GHz radios in both iOS and Android devices is sent in the clear in packets whenever those cellphones connect to an access point.   But I'm not talking about that.   I'm only talking about when an iOS or Android cellphone has the following four bits of information *sent* to the Google database by poorly configured Android devices: a. Your cellphone AP SSID b. Your cellphone AP BSSID (aka MAC address) c. Your AP signal strength seen by the poorly configured Android cellphone d. The GPS location of the poorly configured Android cellpone   > MAC address of devices it is communicating with and send that info out > onto the internet to some recipient along with info from its own GPS, if > available.   Yes. You are correct that there are *other* methods, other than the Google Public Database, to obtain MAC addresses of devices.   For example, this web site from wardriving software: https://wigle.net/   But *this* question is complex enough for most people (almost nobody understood the question) if I simply stick to the Google mechanism.   Lord knows how complex this question gets if I bring in the Wigle wardriving mechanism (which even I don't understand).   > So, while it is not part of the normal protocols to reveal that > information it is not inconceivable that some user level program could > be doing the nasty deed.   Yep. Wardrivign software. Or anything from Marius Milner (e.g., netstumbler).   > outgoing packets.

Jeff Liebermann explained in the past why it would take an heroic effort to clone the MAC address of the radio that is sending out the packets.   The cloning is on a different MAC address, which is not the MAC address of concern here.   Too bad, becuase if it were easy to change the Access Point MAC address, then I would change mine daily.   > As was said before, just flip a few bits and you could suddenly appear > to be on the other side of the planet.   Not true. You're confusing the easily cloned MAC address with the one that would take desoldering to change.
