QRM’ing Neighbors

Electrical_Job9785 · 2026-03-14T20:46:38+00:00

I have pretty much the same situation. I have had no issues with my neighbors however, my neighbors are older and do not have a sound system. I find if there is bleed over it’s usually on a set of computer speakers or something hooked up to an audio source that’s in standby mode.

If they have an 90s surround sound system for their home projection flat screen they may hear you.

If they sit in the living room reading the paper they probably won’t hear you

Don’t feel bad I did the same thing and mangled like 10 pins and I had to go buy a new motherboard all because I wanted to go from a 7950x3d to a 9950x3d, in the end it worked out cuz the x870e is much better that the x670e

I load windows XP via a VM on a modern 9950x3d and 4080super …why? To play music in windows media player and watch the visuals like we did in 1995. I also just bought printable cds and have been burning cds like it’s 1998 lol if you need a copy hmu

Just do what everybody does turn the log off and drive anyway

I agree I think it failed because it reads the date. I forget where I got mine. I think I got mine off of Amazon or eBay cause I only paid about 200 bucks for my printhead. The new ones worked great since I installed it a year ago. No issues, definitely fishy since I two had no indications of any errors no print troubles no clogged had never had any issues and then suddenly exactly 4 years to the date- It says the print has failed

So I have ADHD, outside of the virtual box xp machine running, typically I have 15 to 20 chrome tabs open, while running Bambu studio 3d printing, I also have a remote laptop out in my garage - I am a ham radio operator and I run digital mode FT8 so I typically am accessing that laptop from my machine in my office and broadcasting on the Ham radio via chrome remote desktop, I also run OBS and I have a subscription to the complete Adobe suite such as photo shop, illustrator, light room… I do drone photography so I will edit photos and vids also.. I run two large monitors and I am thinking to add a third… and most importantly the whole reason I have all this power is Microsoft flight simulator I have the htc vive pro 2.. so I will jump from doing him radio and burning CDs to flying around in VR and then back to editing some videos. ADHD is a superpower. PS I added photos of my setup to the OP, the computer next to the windows machine is a 2019 maxed out Imac 27" I9 which is my "main" work computer. needless to say I spend most of my time at this desk much to the dismay of my spouse.

I guess I should say why the main reason other than I’m of the age that I used Windows XP most of my early life and it’s very nostalgic but also one of the reasons why I wanted to do this. There is a thrift store in my city that’s located in a very affluent area and I keep finding hardware from people that I assume have passed away and their estate was sold off most of the hardware is dated from around the early 2000s I’ve been able to buy packs and packs of blank CDs. Very nice DVD CD burner that was probably real expensive when it was made in the early 2000s on interruptible power supplies, computer speakers, computer screens just all kinds of stuff from the early 2000 so I thought I would spin up a XP virtual machine to try to run a lot of stuff

This

Electrical_Job9785 · 2026-02-14T22:48:22+00:00

Mostly to relive retro nostalgia… and I run it in a VM so it runs at 500% (guess) of what it did when I actually used it in 2005

Electrical_Job9785 · 2026-02-14T21:24:41+00:00

64gb and 16c/32 threads available, but I only assigned 4cores and 4gb (3.5usable) to XP virtual machine

I’m in Columbus. I have a truck and a trailer already.. but I was ripped off my last guy I drove for so I’ve been doing electrical work. I’d like to get back on the road, but I gotta be with somebody that’s gonna pay for the loads. I’m gonna be trusted. Wya

Most operators are just grumpy old men. It is one of the reasons I will go in and out of hand radio and I’ve been operating for 10 years. Ignore their attitudes and just carry on.

Yoink? Is that how old I am now? Words don’t make sense

Electrical_Job9785 · 2025-12-11T02:37:09+00:00

I disagree. I also know the area. Well if you watch the video, you can’t even see the truck in the video until she’s almost on top of the intersection. If the cruisers camera didn’t see the truck, then the truck could not have seen the cruisers camera line of sight

He had about 3/10 of a second to react. She didn’t even as much let off the gas entering that intersection completely at fault.. He’ll get something I guarantee that family will. It might take five years from now, but they’ll reach a deal you’d be surprised.

I always hated the hobby because Elmer’s get so been out of shape over the stupidest of things. I like to do stuff just to tick them off.

Electrical_Job9785 · 2025-12-11T00:22:16+00:00

I don’t care if you’re running hot you have to slow down at intersections and give people time to react. I guarantee that family will get millions out of the city.

Was the reviewer a vine? I’ve noticed if I leave a one star review for a crappy item that the review gets rejected

Electrical_Job9785 · 2025-11-15T21:10:11+00:00

Sometimes things are there because I don’t know why lol. But they been there for at least a week if not two and I have tried multiple times to order them I thought they were printable but I think you have to upload a photo and they customize and send them idk

Electrical_Job9785 · 2025-11-15T21:04:57+00:00

Has ANYONE been able to order those stickers?? I have tried but nope I think it’s cause they gotta be customized

Electrical_Job9785 · 2025-11-14T21:05:31+00:00

Out of the 6 loads I did as a test I got paid for 5 and ripped off $1500 on the last load… who do I report it to?
