Valves are technology.Which valve would you use for your main water line?
>>107268323Ball valve all the way.Fyck spigot types
>>107268323another thinly veiled Steam Machine thread
>>107268323Definitely top one, it's best for switching on/off.Bottom is better when you need fine control over the flow rate but is harder to fully close and fully open.
>>107268323Solenoid valve
>>107268618>power outage>no water
>>107268397Who doesn't enjoy a good steam machine?
>>107268323>screw valveFor fine adjustment>lever valveFor coarse adjustment>butterfly valveFor binary adjustment (open/close)For main water as the first valve in the house I'd use the lever valve, for further control down the line in different rooms I'd use the screw valve. In Germany it's screw valves everywhere.
Use case for controlling fluids?
esp8266 controllable
>>107269476>esp8266Isn't they hardware backdoor'd?
>>107268683>power outage>cant turn the water off
>>107269508>hurrdurr esp is backdoornot sure who started this retarded ass meme, but i would sure love to see a source or two.
>>107269522>not sure who started this retarded ass memeTarlogic>but i would sure love to see a source or twohttps://www.tarlogic.com/news/hidden-feature-esp32-chip-infect-ot-devices/https://www.tarlogic.com/blog/hacking-bluetooth-the-easy-way-with-esp32-hci-commands-and-hidden-features/k... So them specify the Esp32, but I'm to understand it impacts other products...
>>107269579those commands are all from the bluetooth stack and the ESP8266 doesn't even have bluetooth
>>107269605I was under the mistaken impression it did for some reason. My bad.
>>107269579seems like this only affects devices that are being used as a dumb bluetooth modem, with an HCI UART interface. can't be triggered over the air. HCI packet = packet from the host controller to the ESP over serial. tarlogic is misconstruing all sorts of shit in their article to drum up publicity.tarlogic seems to be one of those clickbaity fag "security research" orgs that make money from ad revenue on press releases and nothing else.
>>107269392Strictly speaking none of them are designed for partial open by default, only control/regulating valves.Ball valves can do everything in a pinch.
>>107268323somebody gave new, well working valve to me
>>107269700But how did it perform when you took it out of the well?
>>107268323it's technically illegal to use anything but a gate valve for your main line in my city.
>>107268693DAYUM cool whip!
>>107271511Whip? It's a horseless carriage!

>>107268323Spigot is easily repairable.
