Windows 10 four weeks in - still too many rough edges

So I've been running build 10240 - or effectively RTM code since July 16.   In that time there have been three "cumulative" updates released to address a number of bugs.

 But in reality - a lot of things in Windows 10 don't work as well as they do in Windows 8.1.  And many of the items I complained about initially in 10240 have still not been corrected.

 The biggest for me is location.   On all 5 of my PCs and 1 phone I have running Windows 10 none of them accurately reflect location.  It is often miles off which is inexcusable since the same app on Windows 8.1 works perfectly. Even though MS updated the Maps app today - it still doesn't work.   The community is flooded with complaints regarding this..   But this also effects Weather and other location aware apps.

 Next is other simple things that should be working correctly in a working release.  The Bing picture of the day background does not update consistently. On some devices it does on others it doesn't.

 The Default apps in settings still does not recognize MS's own Calendar or Office as the default app.

 The Store app consistently crashed.  Also when you go to downloads and check for updates, if the Store app itself is included, the app abruptly closes and does not restart to show you progress of remaining app downloads.   I'm sorry but the Store App - shouldn't be treated as an app - but rather a part of the OS itself and properly updated via Windows update.

 The News, Money and Sports apps do not consistently update and are generally slow to update content.  

 Edge is also still a mess.   Most folks are either using IE or Chrome.

 Bottom line is this, MS could have easily spent more time cleaning up Windows 10 prior to release.   The current state of Windows 10 can be described in one simple word - sloppy..    

 MS is too large of a company with too much experience and resources to release a product this sloppy and inconsistent.   You don't walk away from a Windows 10 install feeling confident...

 With the level of importance placed around Windows 10 for MS in lieu of the market disaster that Windows 8 was - the poor execution is more than just disappointing it shows lack of leadership and focus...

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
