In a video by @Techconnectify@mas.to, Alec goes into a deep dive into the simplicity of his particular model, its shortcomings and variety of data logging tests in an attempt to fix them.
TL,DW: Very simple, cheap and ingenious design, with one compressor loop between the fridge and freezer in series. However, its temperature sensor is wonky and so the fridge is more affected by how long the compressor operates than the actual temperature itself. There is a signficant temperature differential between the top and bottom, fans on the exterior or interior could help but with the faulty sensor only made matters worse. With the controller replaced with a proper temp control unit the fridge functioned much better.
@JWBananas @Rentlar @SilentStorms sooo… the follow-up had a very specific point. Many people were getting a residue after trying powder detergent, and I wanted to help with that.
My main issue with detergent pods isn’t so much that they’re wasteful, per se, but that they cost a lot more for, potentially, worse results.
Many dozens of people continue to tell me that trying powder detergent both saved money *and* made their dishwasher work better. I stand by that.
TIL the Technology Connections guy is on Lemmy via Mastadon.
And that’s awesome!
I’m glad you made it to the fediverse.
I’m pretty sure he was on Mastodon way before the migration! Alec was one of the first few federated accounts I looked for once I got the word we were all moving.
Nice!
He walks among us mere mortals.
I just want to say I love your channel and find it incredibly interesting. Nice to see you on the Fediverse.
@Technology Connections I’m glad you found my Beehaw thread about your video, even if it’s just to defend your dishwasher video from someone talking smack. Thanks, and feel free to lmk if my post title doesn’t do your video justice (though overall it seems well-received on Lemmy).
Oh hey, you’re around here! Fancy that.
Was wondering if you considered that the sensing bulb location in the fridge was chosen to enforce a duty cycle and preserve the pump?
question.
It seems you have replied to, and carried on a reply chain with (meaning that presumably notifications went both ways), a user on Kbin from your Mastodon account.
How on earth do you do that?
I’m probably a bit late to reply, but… He was @ mentioned in the body of the original post, which Mastodon would have notified him of because mas.to is federating. Opening the notification would bring him to this thread on Mastodon, where everything would appear as it normally does when viewing a thread on Mastodon. From there, you can hold a conversation as normal with notifications and all. Unless you were looking at instance URLs, you probably wouldn’t even notice the user you’re replying to isn’t on Mastodon themselves.
Beauty of federation! It (mostly) just works!
