Windows 10 Builds 15047/15048 - Back to Evaluation ?

Just two days after releasing Windows 10 build 15046 for PC.  MS released builds 15047 for Mobile and 15048 for PC.

 The builds were all about fixes with about a dozen for PC and 10 or so for Mobile.

 The update downloaded and installed easily across all devices - desktop, laptop, tablet and phone.  The build runs well and seems as complete as the Creators Update is going to be.

 In my post on 3/1 - I suggested the possibility of 15046 being the release build - so obviously I was wrong. 

 What was interesting however is that the evaluation watermark returned with 15048 - suggesting there are still more builds to come in March.  I'm thinking however that there will only be a couple more.

 I have to believe we are very close to release if the estimated release date of April is to be met.  There is typically at least a two week gap from the last builds Insiders see to production release.  

 We'll see what the coming weeks bring.

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 kno...

Journey to Solar - Part 1 - Understanding your usage and getting skinny

I manage a group of homes/ranches as a side hustle - and recently started down the path for one of my clients of researching the aspects of adding solar power to the home. The solar market has really matured in the last 5 - 10 years.  Prices for PV Panels has dropped considerably and there are a wide range of both DIY and One-Stop shop companies to choose from. For residential energy alternatives - especially here in AZ - solar seems to be the obvious choice and with the addition of storage capabilities like Tesla's PowerWall - you can seriously start to look at the potential of minimizing your reliance on the utility grid for energy.  To me the combination of Solar Generation plus battery storage is potentially very compelling. With that said - there is a lot of due diligence and additional expenditures in preparing for solar that I learned and will discuss here While you can go to many sites and just enter a monthly bill amount and have a tool spit out a system size and pric...

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. Whil...
