Home gadgets that cause interference with other domestic gear. Bah ....

And; those bulbs rated for use with a dimmer also require a dimmer that can manage flourescants. Basically, flourescents have two states: Off and On. Nothing in between that reults in usable lighting.

Chuckle. People in my office always bitch when I key up my ancient Motorola ht1000 at my desk. Makes a nice loud hum in their speakers. Back when they still let me touch hardware, I was once tearing my hair out on a monitor service call- funny colors, wavy lines, etc. Replacement monitor did the same thing. I was about to swap out the CPU (integrated video on those early machines), when my 2 active brain cells kicked in, and I noticed the electric stapler tucked up against the monitor. Those are a first cousins to doorbell dinger- bigass coil and magnetic rod inside them. Moved it two feet away, and the problem vanished.

A few homes ago my monitor was back to back with the microwave (with a wall in between). Every time the microwave operated it looked like I was degaussing the monitor. Sometimes I'd have to tell my daughter to turn off the microwave until I finished what I was doing.

You probably were. When the transformer was active it was generating a magnetic field just as a degausing coil would. I have never tried it,but a LCD type of display probably would not have been effected by the microwave.

I didn't think of that. No magnetic fields to worry about! No purity to adjust!! No convergence!!! No dynamic convergence!!!!!!!!!!!

Started having trouble with the home WiFi system. Worked on it for a month until I found my wife and place a 2.4Ghz cordless phone base near the wireless router. I hadnt seen it because it was carefully hidden behind some books.

If you want to use WiFi (2.4GHz), consider a DECT 6.0 phone system (1.9GHz).
