When using metal cabinets do you need to insulate or isolate the shelves from the exterior to prevent the electromotive forces from reaching your electronics? I understand how faraday cages work because Ive been on jobs that we wear faraday suits, but I have had credit cards stop working because I had them in my pocket, and my buddy fried his iphone once.

@Mike Bledsoe you may run into contractual issues by not relinquishing control over your panels, also I have heard (thats downstream, I dont do LV work past the meter) that a lot of panels are in-between the meter and the house mains. Or worse, before the meter. You most likely have a smart meter which is controlled by your utility. Double check it wont screw you in that front. Again Im a lineman, not an electrician or wireman, so my knowledge is more cursory on that side of the house. With that, I plan on never tying my energy production to their circuit. And think more people should do the same.

Just a little addition to the above vid.

I have been looking for good alts for airtags. I would like to be able to tag a few tool boxes and things. But the options for android still pale in comparison to apples dispersion.

@Jeremy M yeah everyone touts them as equals but I just dont trust it to be as good of a passive tracker for expensive tools and trailers.

Im based out of the rocky mountain/great basin area. I am a lineman and I travel full time. I am mainly worried about the rapid devaluation of the US dollar and the civil unrest that is a biproduct of it. I work both urban and rural locations so I see the impact already in both places. Being on the road full time makes me depended on the local economy as well.
