              • Know How... 142: Synthetic Diesel, Feedback & How Cameras Work

                Synthetic diesel, convert a phone jack into an Ethernet jack, best replacement drive for a NAS, soldering iron upgrade, cradelpoint modem, how cameras work, the Know How...V250 Quadcopter, and more!

                Feedback

                Can I use this for my network?

              • Luke Kolarsky "Hello KH community, I was wondering if i could use this existing phone line (I think it's Cat 5) to convert this phone jack to an Ethernet jack? Any help is appreciated!?"
              • It "probably" Cat5 or Cat5e. Probably riser rated.
              • Look for labeling on the cable insulation
              • It's most likely been spliced from room-to-room, outlet-to-outlet.
              • You can't just tape the ends together. You'd want to terminate and couple to make sure you're keeping proper electrical signal.
              • You want to map out the wiring to see how they ran it. It's possible that they've run everything back to a central panel, if that's the case, then you're good to go. If not, you're want to terminate-and-couple or drop a switch at each outlet.

                • Time for a new drive

              • Geoffrey Auld "I have a Buffalo 500gb Single HDD NAS Box. The Samsung HDD has finally crashed with the click of death and I want to put a WD hard disk in side and was wanting to know which would be best, ie WD Red, Black or Green. Thanks Geoff from Australia. ?"
              • WD Red (~$120 for 3 TB)
              • Run cool, great for NAS, low price per gigabyte, decent speed
              • BUT HORRIBLE for single drive usage
              • WD Green (~$100 for 3TB)
              • Runs cool, reliable
              • Slow
              • WD Black (~$180 for 3TB)
              • FAST.. CRAZY FAST! (7200rpm), 5 year warranty
              • Runs hot, expensive.

                • I need a new Soldering Station

              • Edie Foy "Time to replace my no longer in biz soldering station. (can't get tips anymore). I can spend $500 for a killer station, I prefer at or under $200. I don't need SMD/SMT. Suggestions thus far are: Hakko, Weller, Metcal, Edsyn?"

                • Cellular Ethernet

              • Ben Yanke "Does anyone know of a good GSM to Ethernet modem (something I could hook up to my own router, not a WiFi hotspot that creates it's own network). Obviously I could just buy a hotspot and pick it up with an AP acting as a client, and hook that to my router, but that is obviously less than ideal, and less reliable.?"

                • Traditional, film-based cameras

                Oldtimers (Those of us who started with FILM) will remember that there were three ways to control the amount of light that would create your image.

              • ISO (Or ASA, or DIN)
              • Aperture
              • Shutter

                • These three variables could be changes to change the amount of light you needed to create a proper image, and how much light actually reached your film.

              • ISO
              • Has been called ISO, ASA and DIN: This is the "speed" of the film (Typical values: 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600)
              • The higher the number, the "faster" the film, and the less light it needed to form an image in its emulsion
              • However, as a film becomes faster it:
              • Increases "grain" (the individual particles that capture light clump together)
              • Decreases detail
              • Decreases contrast
              • Those of us who shot with film, knew to always use the slowest film we could get away with.
              • In a pinch, we could shoot slower speed film as if it were higher-speed film, we would just need to adjust our development time to match.
              • It wasn't perfect, but it means that we favored slower films unless we KNEW we were going to be filming in low-light, fast-shutter situations
              • Aperture
              • This was the size of the lens opening through

                • Qua
