I'm going to have a bit of a #tech#rant (less charitable people might say #whine) here. If you just want jokes and cute bunny pictures, feel free to skip this one.
Object of my #ire this week? #Furnaces. I'm not even going to rant about their main control boards; most of that's been said better than I could say it, by others with more knowledge than I.
But that's when I learned about the new-new kind of motor that (at least my) furnaces use.
They call it an "#ECM" motor, but that is just an acronym for Electronically #Commutated Motor, which just means it doesn't have motor #brushes - just like a DC #brushless motor.
New brushes arrived today. My old ones from Rosemary & Co were starting to show the signs of heavy use, but these ones should keep me going for a while.
