Sorry @#52935 - as I hinted at, I was conflicted about which was the better place to post this, and since it was more "how does it work?" rather than "what can I do about it?" (for which the answer is pretty clear), I went for the EE. It's answered here and we don't have migrations even if we wanted... (more) |

Thanks for this analysis. I bought that UPS in a hurry because its predecessor had died, and I didn't yet know to be more skeptical. It has powered my computer + monitor for 10-15 minutes during actual power outages, so at least it isn't complete fraud, but yeah, I'm going to look for something bet... (more) |

We get actual power outages lasting more than a few minutes about 4-5 times per year, and light flickers probably twice that often. The UPS is a generic [Amazon Basics model](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073Q3BSPG/?th=1). (more) |

Thanks for this explanation. I think what you're saying happened to me (no light flickers or other visible signs of even a brief outage) is that I got hit with a voltage change that was outside the UPS's narrow band, so it tried to switch to battery, but the battery wasn't up to the task so the compu...

| Question | — |
Why would a standby UPS fail to power devices when there's no power outage? I have an ordinary consumer-grade standby UPS with, I believe, ample power for the devices connected to it.[^1] It's five years old. For the second time in about a month, I've found my computer powered off and the UPS apparently without power (indicator light was off). Both times, I pressed the po... (more) |

A: How to request a mass-change in capitalization for tags? Following a lot of discussion in comments, we're going to split this request: - Capitalization changes: these were previously discussed and we'll make these changes for you. We can do this at the tag level; there's no need to edit posts individually. - Other renamings and deletions: there is a... (more) |

Can you please join us in [this comment thread](https://electrical.codidact.com/comments/thread/8240) to discuss an approach that satisfies both of you? Thanks. (more) |

I see the frustration in your comments, and I understand -- we all want things to be better, you're doing a lot of good work, and there was prior discussion. I think we're seeing a little scope drift -- totally natural given the scale of the work! -- and maybe we need to divide and conquer. The ear... (more) |

The difference would be outlining, like the proposal tags on Proposals. We already have support for that; we'd just need to add the reviews tag to a list. (more) |

I see your edit with the list and also that there's some disagreement. Please reply to this comment when issues are resolved; I want to help with your cleanup efforts and don't want to act prematurely. Thanks. (more) |

The review tag can be given a different visual presentation if that helps, and the text at the top of the Q&A category can be edited to mention/link to reviews. Would either or both of those changes help? (more) |

| Question | — |
Should posting on Meta affect reputation? When we launched this community, we did not yet have the ability to set different reputation grants for different categories. We've had this for a while but we failed to follow up before now, sorry. Do you want us to change posts on Meta to not award rep for upvotes or subtract it for downvotes? ... (more) |

Welcome! I wonder if we have people who are already active Reddit users, who know the expectations of those subreddits, would could post responsibly. We don't want to come off as spammers but I would *love* to get the word out more -- anyone in a position to help?
We do have money for some actua... (more) |

Our aim _is_ to run Codidact for the communities that use them, both regulars and visitors. (Every regular was once a visitor; we need to draw people in.) I'm having trouble understanding how threaded comments make people feel unwelcome. And if people have answers to questions, we want to give the... (more) |

A: Wish to have comment votes We've resisted adding voting to comments because, to be fair, you have to have votes in both directions and that starts to get cluttered, but I also recognize the need for an efficient "me too". Nobody wants to read a bunch of comments saying "I agree with so-and-so", after all, but people want to b... (more) |

A: Code formatting appears to be broken Code highlighting, like Mathjax, incurs a small penalty on page rendering, so we don't turn it on by default. The question hadn't come up before on EE, so it was off. I've just turned it on. (more) |

New users now do not get Participate Everywhere. That's a good question about seeing who has an ability; we don't have any way in the UI to do that, but we should. Meanwhile, please ask in the private mod chat so someone with the right access can look it up for you. Thanks. (more) |

| Comment | Post #285892 |
The ability to vote other than on answers to your own questions comes with the Participate Everywhere ability. In order to earn that ability, you have to have several well-received (score > 0.5) posts. (The difficulty is configurable; see below.) We don't use rep for abilities but, rather, your ac... (more) |

Just for transparency/visibility, could you put that in a meta post? In particular, I don't want anyone to be surprised by the rep drops. (Heh, mine's about to go to 1, which is correct for my level of EE knowledge.) We'll give people a little time to object before doing it. Thanks @#36396. (more) |

We're looking into that. It's not all coming from one account like the previous cases, so I need an assist from someone with DB access. (more) |

Right now meta votes affect rep, but we can change that if the community wants. (We didn't have per-category rep settings when we set up this community; now we do.) Upvote and downvote rep can be set per category per post type; let us know what you want. Rep changes would be retroactive. (more) |

A: Still getting downvotes - what are you guys doing about it? I am sorry for the aggravation. Clearly we're going to need to bump up the priority of voting-fraud mitigation. We've taken action against the user (yes, as you suspected, one user) and the votes will be invalidated. That's just playing whack-a-mole, though. There are a few things we can adjust... (more) |

Thanks @#53110. I'm not a domain expert, nor even qualified to participate in the main areas of this community; I monitor all the community metas to see if there are places where I can help with information, but I'm not trying to argue for a particular outcome here. I agree that the name is less im... (more) |

Is the distinction between "papers" (implying research, along the lines of what one might submit to a journal or conference) and general-purpose resources/articles/teaching? Another community uses "resources" as the category name for the latter, in case that helps. I don't know how clear "insights"... (more) |

One of the top searches is "capacitance multiplier". I don't have the details of what searches led to what pages (including what else led to that page), but it's reporting more new hits on that page than new uses of that search, so that's clearly not the only one. (more) |
