Windows 10 - Build 10532 - Not much to talk about

MS released Windows 10 Build 10532 to Fast Ring folks this week and I applied to two desktops, a laptop and a tablet.

 In all cases the update downloaded and installed okay with only 1 issue and that was with one of my desktops.   In this case I don't blame MS - but rather AMD and their support for older Radeon video cards.   One of my machines has a Radeon 4850 video card.   AMD had decided not to support anything earlier than Radeon 6000 series on Windows 10.   So starting with Build 10525 - AMD has provided an updated video driver which does not install properly and therefore leaves my video resolution settings at either 1024 x 768 or 1280 x 1024 - neither of which is close to the 1920 x 1080 that I normally have been running.

 I had been running an older Windows 8 version of Catalyst for the 4850 which was working fine and providing proper resolution - but AMD made it almost impossible to go backwards.  I did decide to order a new Radeon R7 card - but AMD and NVidia in my opinion have done a crappy job supporting Windows 10 and with more and more desktop boards supporting Intel's graphics - I think they are loosing ground and trying to force upgrades when they really aren't needed.

 So on to 10532 itself.   So there is really only 1 noticeable difference and that is when you right click on the start icon to get the advanced menu.  And that difference is a more consistent look with the regular left click start menu.

 But many things still just don't work right and this is starting to get annoying. Location is still a mess.   On the machine I am writing this post from - Windows 10 can't seem to get my location correct within 2 miles.   The same machine running Windows 8.1 - pinpoints me exactly.  

 The Live tiles still don't update consistently.  Store updates still fail on a regular basis with no good explanation.  And this behavior is inconsistent.  Some things work great on my tablet while they don't on my desktop and vice versa.    

 Bottom line is Windows 10 is still not really ready for prime time and I really can't recommend it to non-techie folks.  

 As far as this writer is concerned Windows 10 is pretty much junk and not worth the effort to upgrade.   It provides no real value and in my opinion a poorer user experience than Windows 7 or 8.1.

ASUS RT-AC68U Router & WDS - a nice solution for a large home.

I recently had a newer Asus RT-AC87U Router die.  The wireless chipset never seemed to work well and first the 5Ghz bands started to fail and then the 2.4Ghz failed leaving my 25 wireless device household high and dry. So after some due diligence I decided to replace with 2 of the older RT-AC68U and implement a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) configuration. In the past - I've mentioned an open source router OS called DD-WRT.  The Asus routers come pre-installed with their version of DD-WRT.  Asus does utilize their own UI overtop DD-wrt and overall I do not like nearly as much as the traditional UI - but core dd-wrt capabilities are there.   Additionally you can flash the RT-AC68 with native DD-WRT if your so inclined. In my previous configuration I was also using an older Linksys 4200 running dd-wrt configured in Client Bridge mode that allowed clients to connect to the Linksys as well as use some of the bands to connect back to the RT-AC87U. While it worked - I felt that

Solar Storage - 2023 Update

  A few years back I published a 2 Part post discussing Solar Energy systems.  The discussion focused on all the due diligence and prep work needed and what were some of the key considerations around designing and implementing a solar system. One of the discussion points was around solar storage or batteries.  What were the use cases for batteries and if they were a good investment and should you incorporate them into your design. Back in 2020 - the math around batteries said no - that you wouldn't be able to break even on the cost of a storage system over its normal warranty life of 10 years. So here we are three years later and so I figured it was time to revisit.   There are two primary uses cases for solar storage.    First is what's called peak offset or peak shifting.  This is a concept where you utilize stored solar generation to run your home during what many utilities call Peak Periods that are part of a general category of rate plans known as Time of Day (TOD) plans.

Home Automation Platforms + Matter - Early Observations

For those of us who have been involved in automating homes by adding "smart" devices from light switches to thermostats, cameras, sensors, controllers, etc - there was always a challenge with managing the wide range of devices. While each OEM had their own app that would allow you to control their devices - you'd often end up with anywhere from 4 - 10 apps that were required to manage the entire home.  And depending on your product choices you also had to have hubs to communicate from your Wifi network to other RF networks like Zigbee or Z-Wave.  With many of these "hubs" they had native support across multiple vendors or you had to add plugins or provide specific OEM support. Some OEM apps were great, some sucked, but it became challenging to provide a solution for a client where they could easily manage their home on their own.  Between having to maintain multiple credentials/logins across the apps and even communicating which app controls what - it sometimes
