My AVM 3000 appears to be dead after a FW upgrade (custom 22.03 build). It didn't reconnect to the mesh after the update and got "banned" by the main AP (this happens sometimes and needs a reboot of both devices to fix). To reboot, I briefly removed power. However, since then, it appears it does not boot up any more.

After applying power, the green indicator LED lights up continuously, followed by the customizable WIFI LED (white). A few seconds afterwards, the power indicator starts to blink rapidly for about 10 seconds, then all LEDs turn off.

I've tried enabling failsafe mode by pressing the Connect button between the LEDs (which is the only button of this device), but that didn't seem to do anything. There is no reset button AFAIK so no way to do a factory reset.

Mhm, I've since bought a new device (still in the initrd phase since apparently my self-built initrd images are no good and the only available pre-built working with the new unit's NAND is snapshot), but while eva_ramboot.py seems to work, the old device does not request a TFTP image.

To increase the information about power / energy consumption in my house I would like to track as well the power consumption of my fritz!boxes and fritz!repeaters.
Hence, I would be very happy about a sensor that provides information about the power consumption.

The Fritz! GUI shows percentages (%) but not absolute values, but percentages would be ok as well. For this I would take some datapoints using a powermeter (socket) and create a sensor using PowerCalc integration.

I thought Chessbase was the tool for this (I downloaded their free Chessbase Light) but I don't really see an option to "analyse" the game, just to replay and check their Database for other players who made that opening and such.

Chessbase it's a great tool for organizing your games personally i find it really really useful for researching lines, looking for games, analising variants, etc. you can run any chess engine on it, for game analisis you have to use the own Fritz GUI.

(3) Chessbase also comes with rich tools for describing and storing your analysis, storing your repertoire, automatically being updated with new games relevant to your repertoire, researching opponents, storing your games, searching for patterns in your games, etc.

The whole product line is indeed confusing. The Chessbase Light software that you downloaded is primarily for managing a small database of your own personal games. I seem to recall that it had a very old version of Fritz 5.32 included with it that you could just as a basic kibitzer but I might be wrong about that. If so, you can download one of the free chess engines like Toga II 1.4.1SE and use it to analyze within Chessbase Light. Here's a link to a great series of tutorials on how to use CB Light. It'll walk you through installing a new engine and tell you all about the basic features etc.

3) A chess engine is the brains or personality that calculates the chess moves. Examples are: Fritz, Houdini, Stockfish, Komodo, Crafty, Gull, and the list goes on and on... All engines need a User Interface or a GUI - Graphic User Interface for you to use them.

The Chess Program sold as Fritz is also sold with other chess engines, this changes over time, currently you can purchase Fritz 15, Houdini 5, Komodo 11, and a few others. All are the same program, often referred to as a GUI, with a different chess engine. This program is excellent for playing chess against the compute, analyzing your games, and includes a simple database program to save and lookup games. These are all sold by Chessbase the company.

Chessbase the database program is also sold by Chessbase the company. This is primarily a powerful chess game database program. You can analyze games as well with this program. This is for the advanced chess player who will be analyzing games in great detail, not just looking for mistakes. This program is sold with several different package options from starter to premium.

Why I chose them: If there is a price-to-performance champion in this system it might just be the Shunyata Research Venom power cords. Even if you are a power cable skeptic, the $500 or so you would spend on one of these cords buys you some mighty sturdy connectors, and that, along with the fantastic construction quality of the cabling itself, is worth the price of admission.

On April 12, 2024, the Nassau County Supreme Court rendered a critical property tax appeal decision impacting energy industry participants and taxpayers throughout New York State, following the Power Plant valuation trial of J-Power USA Development Co., Ltd., v. the Assessor and the Board of Assessment Review of the Village of Freeport, Index No. 400993-2018 (DeStefano, J.).

The J-Power USA v. Village of Freeport trial involved the valuation and assessment for property tax purposes of a privately owned and operated Peaker Power Plant located in the Village of Freeport, Nassau County, New York. In a 64-page Decision after Trial, Justice Vito M. DeStefano determined that the Village had been significantly overvaluing the Plant and that the real property tax assessments imposed by the Village exceeded by approximately 200% the actual value of the Plant.

Freeport Unit 1 has since operated as a merchant peaker plant that sells in the open energy market within New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) Zone K, running in times of high demand. Revenues became subject to the demands of the market without reliance on guarantees by LIPA and all expenses previously reimbursed by LIPA under the expired PPA became the sole responsibility of J-Power. Despite this dramatic change in how revenues were generated and expenses were paid, the Village looked to and relied on historical and outdated information in restoring the Plant to the tax roll with assessed market values of $98,098,000 for the 2018/19 tax year, and $102,660,698 for the 2019/20 tax year. As a result of the exorbitant assessments, the Plant was now subject to a $1.1 million annual Village tax bill.

J-Power offered a detailed and competent expert appraisal report (prepared by Kevin S. Reilly of evcValuation, LLC), which incorporated analyses contained in three expert component reports, each performed by eminently qualified experts in their respective fields. A Cost Estimate Report (prepared by Michael Borgstadt of Burns & McDonnell) calculated reproduction and replacement cost estimates for a brand new, identical or comparable replacement power facility prior to any adjustment for depreciation or obsolescence. A Power Market Report (authored by Roger Schiffman) analyzed supply and demand in the market, the potential revenue and related expenses for the Plant operating as a merchant facility for the first time following the PPA expiration. A Land Appraisal Report (prepared by Stephen Deutsch of Goodman-Marks Associates, Inc.) determined the value of the land to support a part of the Cost Approach.

The Village offered an appraisal report prepared by a single expert with general real estate appraisal experience who had never appraised a power plant. This expert concluded that the Plant was significantly over assessed having determined appraised market values of $64,000,000 and $65,000,000 as of October 1, 2017 and October 1, 2018, respectively.

Power Fritz 18 has generated significant buzz in the chess community, promising to be a game-changer in the world of chess software. As an avid chess enthusiast, I decided to delve deep into its features, user interface, and overall performance to provide a comprehensive review for fellow players.

The initial impression of any software often begins with the installation process. Power Fritz 18 pleasantly surprised me with its straightforward installation wizard. The process was quick and intuitive, ensuring that even users with limited technical knowledge could set it up effortlessly. The software is compatible with various operating systems, making it accessible to a wide audience.

Navigating through Power Fritz 18 is a seamless experience. The user interface is clean, intuitive, and aesthetically pleasing. The well-organized menus and toolbars make it easy for users to access the features they need. The layout strikes a balance between simplicity for beginners and advanced options for seasoned players, catering to a diverse audience.

One of the standout features of Power Fritz 18 is its extensive range of tools and functionalities. The software boasts an updated and powerful chess engine, providing accurate analysis and recommendations for players of all skill levels. As part of my evaluation, Chessbase was nice enough to send me Powerbook 2023, an opening book (image below) of 25 million opening positions which helps the chess engine play the most current opening theory but it can also be used to compare your own games to the latest theoretical trends.

The training mode is a gem for those looking to improve their skills. The interactive lessons, puzzles, and practice games cover a wide range of chess concepts, making it a valuable resource for both beginners and advanced players. Additionally, the software offers the ability to analyze and learn from historical games, providing insights into the strategies of chess legends.

Friend mode is a great way for new players to challenge their chess abilities. There are a range of settings starting with Beginner (700 ELO) to Master Candidate (2200 ELO). I opted for something closer to my playing strength which is The Experienced Club Player.

The real-time analysis feature is a game-changer during live play. Power Fritz 18 provides instant feedback, highlighting mistakes and suggesting improvements, allowing users to learn and adapt on the fly. This feature is especially valuable for those looking to sharpen their skills in competitive online environments.

Overall Rating: [Rating 4.5 out of 5] Power Fritz 18 earns a solid rating for its impressive features, user-friendly design, and outstanding performance. Highly recommended for chess players of all skill levels. Chessbase has some work to do with respect to its chess engine tournament functionality but at its core, Power Fritz 18 delivers great value for its price.
