My ISP's Technicians left the Fiber Junction Box (Splitter) in our area open. Can water get inside the connectors during rain and affect Internet connectivity/stability?

My ISP uses an aerial fiber network and have a Fiber Junction box at each pole, from where they connect to their customer's homes.

Each Fiber Junction Box acts as a splitter where at most 8 customers can be connected, and it looks like this:

https://ibb.co/hR2fzWM

(Image is for reference, not the actual box. But, my box looks exactly the same. )

But, the problem is, the box from where my connection is coming from, the technicians have left it open.

And it is so high that I can't reach there to close it.

I'm worrying, can rain affect the Internet stability/connectivity if water goes inside the box, especially through a connector (The green part shown in the picture)?

EDIT: Thanks a lot for your replies! I raised a complaint at the customer support of my ISP yesterday. After constant denials from 4 representatives, the 5th representative registered a service request and today a technician came to close it. Since they have a dedicated nut fastener to lock the boxes, I couldn't have done it myself even if I had used a support to climb there.

Combiner box vs. Branch connectors

I am mounting four 200w 12v solar panels on the roof of my ambulance conversion. I have a 40a mppt charge controller, but I am considering adding a combiner box on the roof near the panels before the run into the ambulance and the charge controller, besides simplifying things connection wise, added fuses for each panel and a breaker/cutoff switch before the charge controller are there other pros? Any cons? The setup came with a single 20a in line fuse. The combiner box I'm looking at has a 15a fuse for each panel and a 63a breaker. Will this limit my input to the charge controller?

A (not so quick) summary of all the calls that were made to box for inters, during the crossover from dry to wet.

To me the most interesting part of this race was the crossover from dry to wet conditions. Especially the way the calls to pit for inters were made. Was it mainly the driver or the engineer making the call? And during which lap was the call made?

I summed up how the decision to box for inters was made for each driver. They are listed in the order in which they entered the pitlane to put on intermediates (not softs, Yuki). The time I use is the moment they crossed the pitlane speed limit during the official F1TV broadcast. If you want the actual time during the race, you should subtract 8 minutes and 48 seconds, as that's how long it took for the race to start during the broadcast. The lap I use is the lap the leaders were currently on. Afterwards I'll give a few of my takes which you can ignore of course.

Edit: Added in positions at the moment the first pitstop for inters was made (1:29:03, lap 48) and the end result.

From first to last:

Russell: Told his engineer to "Get the inters ready" during lap 48. Entered the pits at 1:29:03, lap 48, being the first out of everyone.

Good call that could've seen him move up in the points. Ultimately couldn't get his already used inters to work. P11 --> P10

Bottas: Told by his engineer to stay out during lap 47. Told his engineer "We should have boxed" during lap 48. Entered the pits at 1:29:05, lap 48.

Good call that saw him gain the most positions out of any driver during the pitstops. P13 --> P5

RΓ€ikkΓΆnen: Discussed the option of pitting and tyre choice with his engineer during lap 48. In classic Kimi fashion made the call to come in on his own and entered the pitlane at 1:29:07, lap 48.

An ice-cold last second decision that resulted in solid points for Alfa. P15 --> P8

Mazepin: Told his engineer to box for inters during lap 48. Reaffirmed to his engineer that inters were needed "otherwise I'm not gonna keep it on track". Entered the pitlane at 1:29:14, lap 48.

Good call that kept him on track and gave him the ability to overtake some cars for the first time, including unlapping himself multiple times. Too far back for it to matter. P19 --> P18 (Latifi retirement)

Verstappen: Made the call not to pit during lap 48. After seeing multiple cars slide off in front of him and feeling like he was losing time, made the call with his engineer to box for inters the following lap. Entered the pitlane at 1:30:39, lap 49.

Good call that saw him gain the most points o

Which supported connectors have similar properties to the Box one? (connected to a shared cloud file storage+automated refresh)

Current situation: My practice when using files as data source = I store files in Box folders. Why ? Because Box Tableau connector allows automated refresh. Β  Situation change in 3 months from now: But very soon I will not be allowed by my comptant to store files in Box. OneDrive and Sharepoint will be allowed, but: -I do not use OneDrive because OneDrive connector only connects to private OneDrive, not shared OneDrive But I need to access to any file in the company directory. -I do not use SharePoint because Tableau SharePoint connector only connects to SharePoint Lists, not files. Β  My question : Regarding the cloud storage solutions listed in the current Tableau supported connectors: which ones are similar to Box?Β By this I mean: on what cloud solutions could I migrate my files to keep my dashboards refreshed automatically now that I cannot use box anymore? Β  The automatic update of many of my dashboards depends on that...

Inter-tech 4004 - Hotswap bay connectors

Hi,

My first post here!

Recently bought an Inter-Tech 4004 with 4 hot-swap bays.

If you look at the picture there 4x SATAa for HDDs and 2x Molex for power. I've recently read that you should not connect PSU-SATA to Molex and vice versa(with adapters), but is it safe to connect peripheral to the Molex connectors? I've got the SilverStone FlexATX 350W (https://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=784&area=en)

Appreciate all the advice!

TL;DR Amazon we need to talk about the massive box you sent my HDMI cables in. Did these HDMI cables have some delicate 32K Ming Dynasty limited edition porcelain connectorsβ€”? No. This is my open letter to Amazon about their empireβ€”built on consumption and spewing trash since 1994.

Amazon, enough is enough.

You sent me another ginormous box, sealed with your β€œenvironmentally friendly” black and blue recyclable tape. To no surprise, I found mostly bubble wrap and a much smaller Amazon box*.*

This tiny box contained only HDMI cables, pens, and socks. Perhaps, if I had ordered transcripts of your empty environmental promises, the larger box would have been a perfect fit. Every Amazon Prime Member is familiar with this exact W-T-Amazon experience. So, that begs the question…

Amazon, why do you still ship tiny boxes within even bigger boxes?

From a self-described β€œgreen” company, your reliance on cardboard boxes might be the most environmentally tone-deaf practice you could choose for your customers. In 2019 the director of the Solid Waste Association of North America called your cardboard waste, β€œthe Amazon effect.” Yes, you read that right. Your dirty environmental footprint is so widely recognized that it’s now β€œa thing.” I mean, jeez Amazonβ€”how much inspiration do you need to change? As Greta Thunberg might say, we don’t want to hear any more of your green β€œblah, blah, blah.” We don’t need promises, we need you to stop killing trees and creating trash.

Moreover, isn’t it time for you to ditch the boxes and plastic bags altogether? Give us reusable tubs instead. It’s a simple solution we could all easily agree on. Ship your packages in a few standard sizes and instruct your customers, us, to leave the empty tubs on our doorsteps. The driver picks them up on his next delivery. No more boxes or bags, problem solved.

Additionally, the cables you sent me were already sheathed within apocalypse-proof packaging. Did these HDMI cables have some delicate 32K Ming Dynasty limited edition porcelain connectorsβ€”? No. They were just regular HDMI cables, but longer. Were you afraid someone might drop the box and damage my socks? If so, excuse my frustrations, because everyone understands how delicate socks can beβ€”

Otherwise, would you please wake up. For every 151.6 boxes you ship, a tree dies. This wouldn’t be alarming if you hadn’t delivered 4.2 billion packages last year.

Unfortunately, the exact number of packages that were cardboard boxes vs. the other types of Amazon created garbage isn’t publicly available. Otherwise, I would have loved to demonstrate exactly how many trees were razed in 2021 just to support your business alone. Either way, if we only consider half of the 4.2 billion Amazon packages delivered in 20

Best way to fix this broken power cable connector on the Link box (1.0, OG)

I had a friend resolder it back together a while back, but it broke yet again. And I don't think putting the broken power port back is a good idea!
Sadly HTC doesnt sell these Link boxes anywhere, and searching for the OG ones only bring up the newer ones [Or its like 70-80 dollars from amazon.com, which is another expensive replacement part (The lighthouse 1.0 also failed)]
