  • Very good point about Agile.

    As an end-user (that is, the IT staff that will be deploying/managing things), I prefer less-frequent releases. I’d love to see 1 or 2 releases a year for all software (pipe dream, I know). Once you have a handful of packages, you end up with constant change to manage.

    I suspect what we end up with is early adopters embracing the frequent releases, and providing feedback/error reporting, while people like me benefit from them while choosing to upgrade less frequently.

    There are about 3 apps that I’m a beta tester for, so even I’m part of that early-adopter group.





  • Since they’re on a garage door opener, they’re probably designed to be very simple to operate. Not to malign electricians or general contractors, but they don’t have the time to deal with fussy mechanisms - they’ll deal with it once, then never use that brand again.

    Since the hole is at an angle I’d guess they’re spring loaded but manually operated. That little slot on the top of the orange buttons looks designed for a flat screwdriver to push it down, opening the clamping mechanism, and it’s spring loaded to come back up and clamp the wire.

    Also, looking at the shape of the body and orange parts, they can only move in/out.

    Just my guess. Can you shine a light into the hole and see the mechanism at all?

    Try pushing an orange piece in with a small screwdriver and little pressure.
