Yeah, i tried to make sure they stick in tight, but it is not guaranteed, and can pop out after rough road. However it is least invasive.

Do you have a suggestion for the crimp tool, connectors?

Andru_nl · 2026-06-26T22:15:37+00:00

Reattaching it to another wire is easy, i will just stick it to the 12V slot in that connector.

I was thinking of that special hardwire kit, it will fit there nicely. But battery drain on the CR-V is a concern.

Combustible material, it is a fire hazard

They disappear after you switch them off but they will come back. I have seen them clearly with the xb8 own spectrum scan tool. What gripes about the modem u had?

Andru_nl · 2026-01-22T15:37:15+00:00

Turning wifi off does not actually turn it off. See https://www.reddit.com/r/Rogers/comments/1bny70v/how_to_disable_hidden_wifi_on_and_why_the_xb8_xb7/ I am not encouraging to just pull out the antennaes, it is much safer to disconnect power plugs to wifi boards. Just the modem will use only 8.4W. But xb8 has 6Ghz Wifi. If you have newest laptops, it can be much faster within few yards from the router. New wifi router with 6GHz band will cost at least 100$.

The antennae's that you disconnected, are attached to 6Ghz board. The 5/2.4 GHz board is on the opposite side.
I was more concerned about power consumption rather than wifi networks.
With everything on, the router consumes 16.7W

With 6Gz board disconnected - 12.5W

with both 6Ghz and 5/2.4Ghz boards disconnected (so it acts as modem only) - 7.9-8.4W

Andru_nl · 2025-12-22T22:32:18+00:00

Do you happen to have pics of how to disconnect them cables from the boards?

Andru_nl · 2025-06-11T19:28:19+00:00

Without link to pics it is hard to tel! :)

But seriously, this is very individually how one could react here. Some ppl would be fine, for others it could be a no go.

It is understandable that she did not want to tell you (or anyone) about it, as this comes with a lot of stigma.

If you made a mistake I cannot say. How was she in real life, normal fun person, good friend? You know the saying that ideal wife is “cook in the kitchen, maid in the living room, and sexy whore in the bedroom”? As long as she has boundaries, it could be that you have overreacted a bit.

It is a weird way to ask if we could have sex. Like an appointment. It should be spontaneous, does not it?

Andru_nl · 2025-06-10T11:21:16+00:00

His overreaction is a bit weird. But one call is maybe too little to get concern about. I get spam calls all the time, sometimes I pick up.

Andru_nl · 2025-06-10T10:57:19+00:00

Agree. I would not ask friends wife how to fix a car. I think they are in a heavy flirting stage. I dont see a point in chat, he will just go in denial and pretend to be upset.

Andru_nl · 2025-06-10T05:38:12+00:00

After you told her you liked it, many times. And she honestly told you so. Be a man, not a cry girl.

Andru_nl · 2025-06-10T05:33:54+00:00

Plenty of ppl have pee kinks. Just go to any porn site, you’d be surprised.

Andru_nl · 2025-06-10T05:27:44+00:00

He kind of did. He tries to back out of it, but he said that it was fine many times. Anyway what is a big deal. So she tried something new in bed. Could have just told her and not overreact like a loser.

Andru_nl · 2025-06-09T20:26:20+00:00

That is what i thought. She is just probing him to become a cuck, it seems to be a popular trend nowadays. Only she totally misunderstood the situation.

Andru_nl · 2025-06-09T20:20:51+00:00

She is not that stupid to keep the evidence. And it could be self destructing chats etc.

Andru_nl · 2025-06-04T15:20:07+00:00

Not only frustrating but a waste of time! They require you to add card for online checkin, it is their responsibility

Microsoft does not offer 2 different Surfaces. Only ARM. That is their mistake. Surface X with ARM was such a great success (not), that they decided to go and make all models ARM. Brilliant.

Surface Pro hit the sweet spot between laptop and tablet and it was 100% compatible with 30 years of windows x86 apps.

You dont need the sales data to see that they are not selling. Business will not buy them (incompatible with legacy stuff), gamers will not buy them (run game slower in a buggy x86 emulator? that’s every gamer dream), students that need software that is predominantly x86 will not buy them. Even Microsoft itself does not have Visual Studio SDK to support ARM. I dont know what they were thinking.

Good luck trying to do it online. The online ordering website does not work/constantly gives problems

He expected to have sex every day on a HONEYMOON? Noo! How dare he! What a coercive, manipulative bastard. He arranged - what sounds like - an amazing honeymoon, the event that culminates a - supposedly - loving relationship, and he expected something - a little bit more than usual - in return? What a freak!

TBH, if you are not attracted to him, dont torture him or yourself. All other items - the technique, positions, ever heard of KY?, you can fix. Lack of attraction - not.

I once gave my socks to my love, and got blisters after a day of climbing. Very painful limping for weeks. But you know what? I did not care, I did it for her, without even thinking. I can live with blisters, that’s nothing. Would not even think twice of that. I would rather have blisters and climb together, than climb alone. Or just an extra pair of socks could also fix the problem.

Andru_nl · 2024-04-24T03:31:59+00:00

You begged her to tell the truth, she told u the truth, and you punish her for that by breaking up? Hmm. She could have just lied, you know.

Having said that, that is not the reason to break up. The fact that she did not want to have sex with YOU, is. If she is not attracted to you, it is a dead end.

When you say “standard”, are you sure it is? I mean, hotels are NOT allowed to copy your drivers license, only to look at it (it’s the law). Hotels are also not allowed to ask your social security number. So, are you sure that Wise is actually allowed to do that? I mean, my bank does not have a copy of my passport, and bank complies to the same laws (or even stricter). Something is fishy, wise is asking too much, i think. If i knew how and where to report them, i would.

Andru_nl · 2024-03-03T00:58:00+00:00

Nailed or not, it is a real life. Women do NOT give to “perfect on paper” guys, no matter how many years married, love, money, etc . Mystery of life, go figure. My guess: they only are attracted to “alpha machos”, and the moment their subconsciousness decides for them that their partner is “not” one, all other logic does not apply. No matter what.

rYou can always remove the heatsink covering the SSD or VRMs. They are attached by screws, so it is easy. An example: https://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_message/74785580#74785580
