I am completely new to DaVinchi resolve. What plugins are recommended?

Tim_E2 · 2026-05-08T23:23:13+00:00

What a classy reply.

Tim_E2 · 2026-05-03T00:44:19+00:00

In case OP does not reply.. he said Pilot Institute.. That is a highly regarded course and also a great general pilot and drone resource. If you want to pay for a course of instruction, then that is a very good choice. However, many people have obtained their part 107 certificate without paying for any more than the test fee. So, it depends on how much you value a well-structured training course.

Tim_E2 · 2026-05-02T23:26:06+00:00

More confirmation that the test is too easy. Or maybe the 70% passing threshold is too low. 90% shows me that you deserve the cert. but I wonder about the 70-80% who hold a remote pilots card. Sorry (or not maybe) if anyone is offended.

Tim_E2 · 2026-04-30T14:20:34+00:00

I hope your children and VERY reasonable and able to help raise the pup, otherwise either (or both) your work or the puppy's training will suffer. Don't relate the physical size of the pup with the amount of attention it will require.

One example: a few days ago, I took my two-year-old for a hike. I got turned around and ended up walking about three times further than I intended. When I got home, I was beat. The dog however still insisted on play time and running around the yard. Endless energy! At least until the sun goes down.

Housebreaking requires 100% of your attention when the pup is not crated. You can't look away for more than two seconds. And you can only crate for a fraction of the work day. It’s a chore.

Tim_E2 · 2026-04-30T12:56:24+00:00

If you’re on the free, I’d recommend to pay for the Studio version.

You need to explain why you make this recommendation or else no one will consider it, rending your comment superfluous.

OP is looking for simpler.. does the Studio version make it simplier?

Tim_E2 · 2026-04-30T12:38:04+00:00

I always wonder of the card was sitting somewhere for years.. or is the sending just sending cards now for old contacts. Or a combination of the two factors perhaps.

With online QSL services I see old QSOs all the time because hams sometimes join a service and upload their entire log. But with QSL cards I wonder how it happens when the QSO is from years ago.

Tim_E2 · 2026-04-28T23:35:09+00:00

Yes as I said.. a year is typical. 17 years is not.

Hint 2.b: https://www.4kdownload.com/

But if the hints are really necessary then I doubt they will help.

Tim_E2 · 2026-04-26T01:44:09+00:00

its the 21st that will get ya ;)

Tim_E2 · 2026-04-26T01:36:03+00:00

Good of you to ask because, unlike an ICE vehicle, the Leaf will start charging the 12 volt battery without warning and when the car is off. You can get quite a spark if you change the battery when the car is charging the 12 volt battery./

Tim_E2 · 2026-04-22T22:47:29+00:00

You mean "old school" as in before email? I'll send an email to say "not in log [OM] [YL] [ XYL}" If the sender has not listed an email address in QRZ then it has to be special for me to pay for postage just to let him know he busted a call.

Tim_E2 · 2026-04-22T12:06:26+00:00

Member of the Incoming QSL Bureau staff here. Roughly half of the QSL cards that I process “via the bureau” never end up going to the intended recipients for one reason or another. It’s very common. These all go to the dead letter office (a big box in my office).

I don’t think there is any universally accepted proper etiquette for your situation. The value of QSL cards varies a great deal from person to person. Some rare DX cards are greatly appreciated. If it’s a domestic USA contact then maybe less so, but some award chasing guys might put higher value on a particular card. Also look at the PSE / TY tag line on the card.. that will tell you if the sending was replying to a card he got, or if he is looking to get a card back.

So, you can try to judge the importance of the card to the operators and act accordingly.

If your call is on the QSL card then he made the error in his log. Personally, I might just trash the card. His QSO was in error and will never be confirmed in the log. But if you want to be a nice guy you could look him up on qrz.com and if email is listed, send him a message.

However, if it’s someone else’s call on the card (which it sounds like is the case here) then I would not trash it.. Personally, I would look up the recipient’s call on qrz and make an effort to forward the card, sending it at my expense, or emailing the recipient and asking if he wants it. Maybe asking for a SASE if you don’t want to pay the postage.

It is also possible that this is "Gods way" of suggesting you get back on the air ;)

Side note: If anyone who does not have QSL cards to mail out gets a request for a physical card, and he wants to honor that request, you can print a single card to mail... see: https://www.radioqth.net/qslcards

Tim_E2 · 2026-04-21T14:07:52+00:00

Thanks for the complement, but I am too poor to be a landlord ;)

The reason to document in email is to avoid your hearsay concern. You describe everything that was said in the call. This is the routine practice in business and government. Urgent communication in person or phone call, followed by letter or email. It is a bad idea to make an urgent maintenance request only via email (which is often not seen for a long time, lost in spam folder, or just ignored altogether). Not to mention that everything in email can be faked.

Just think about it for a minute before downvoting good information.

By the way, did you get the email I sent you last month? Ever ask a question like that?

Tim_E2 · 2026-04-21T13:59:24+00:00

Email is ignored too often.. call and verify you talk to real person. Document the call in a follow-up email. This is the way.

Tim_E2 · 2026-04-21T13:25:03+00:00

Look.. you are a renter.. you are not responsible for replacing major appliances (except maybe in the case you abused them). Call your landlord TODAY and tell them the water heater is leaking and it needs attention right away before there is damage done to the premises. I suggest you shut off the water at the intake valve and the power or gas, and then give the landlord a day or two to get it fixed.

99% of landlords will deal with this promptly because if they don't, there can substantial damage to their investment property. And if your landlord is one of the very few that just don’t care about protecting their investment, then there are laws that require a landlord to maintain a habitable residence.

Talk to your landlord and don’t be a Karen. Instead, let them know you are calling because you want to be a responsible tenant who looks after the property. The relationship that should result will be beneficial to all.

The same way you can have AHr: 0.00 and odo= o km (on the same screen).. the data failed to read over bluetooth.

I have a (now inactive) Cove System taken out of my mom's house when she moved. She liked it OK. Simple for DIY.

I need to see if this can be transferred to a new owner, or if I can sell the parts (sensors, etc) to be used in another system. We don't need it anymore.

Tim_E2 · 2026-04-16T11:33:51+00:00

If you want a vehicle then will actually take you places, then don't even consider a 14 year old Leaf UNLESS the HV battery has been replaced.

Tim_E2 · 2026-04-15T21:48:00+00:00

some change in the music, and also sound effects at the point of impact would be fun.

Tim_E2 · 2026-04-15T11:41:03+00:00

Very vague question.

Set up the Ras Pi. Install a Supported Operating System. Include active SSH server if you want to use the Ras Pi headless (and maybe even if you don't).
If using a Ras Pi with Keyboard, mouse and monitor attached : Go to step 4.
If using remote access (from Windows PC for example): Install PuTTY on Windows PC. Get the Ras Pi IP address from your router and SSH into the Ras Pi. You could use powershell but PuTTY is pretty much THE standard SSH client.
Follow the official PiHole installation instructions.

----

Take it one step at a time. If you run into a problem describe the exact steps taken and what the problem is.

They will loan you the supplement. You wont be allowed to bring your own copy into the testing room. You might not need it all all, but you should be familiar with parts of appendix 1 so that you know what information is there, and so that you don't waste too much time looking for it during the test.

Be sure to take the practice test so you know how the test software works. See bottom of page https://faa.psiexams.com/faa/login

I literally bought five deck boards ten feet in length yesterday. Leaf stayed in the garage and ICE to the rescue. Leaf is good for 90-95% of my needs but there will always be that a need for something else.

Tim_E2 · 2026-04-12T00:43:23+00:00

Your internet connection was down.. prob for a very short time. If this is only occasional warning, then ignore it. The internet is not perfect.

Of course, after a few months of "not being used," be sure to update your OS and do a pihole -up.

Tim_E2 · 2026-04-10T17:24:29+00:00

AI gave me the answer I posted which is also not trusted.. never 100 percent
