    Oh boy...

    IBM Assembler is as deep as I ever got. I tried doing a self taught course on developing apps for iPhones about 15 years ago. No longer computed.

    Apple Event - May 7, 2024 (New iPads!)

    Well that makes some of the decisions easier, would have to be a 1TB at least. Amazon does not have it up for sale yet, get better CC points when I purchase from there. Also, any difference in the 13” Air with the M2, for example does the 1TB have a slightly better processor like the new pro?

    One week til the Eurovision Song Contest

    Was going to compare BVN with RTPI now. But it's not playing on RTPI on 97W. The video there is 544x480 (2.7 Mbps). Whereas BVN on 117W is playing Eurovision now with 720x480 (3.1 Mbps).

    One week til the Eurovision Song Contest

    Confirming that the American beam of BVN is indeed airing it at 8PM EDT (20:00 UTC-4), as in the past. I don't know why their website no longer provides a proper schedule for this version of their channel. I thought it used to have its own page. BVN has the better picture quality by far...

    Oh boy...

    When I took my first computer class (BASIC programming on a PDP-8/L), we had to "key in" the tape reader bootstrap using paddle switches each morning before loading BASIC from a punched tape on a Teletype Model 33 ASR. The computer had 4K of magnetic core RAM. One of the eggheads had memorized...

    Apple Event - May 7, 2024 (New iPads!)

    While I don't need more power than my latest mini provides (for what I use it for), I would have welcomed the m series chip in it as an update. That and face id Maybe in a few years.

    Apple Event - May 7, 2024 (New iPads!)

    I looked at the 13” iPad Air as a possible improvement for my Mother-in-Law with eyesight issues. The larger screen real estate would allow for larger icons and clearer text. The downside would be the increased weight, fingerprint reader/screen button, and smaller bezels. Plus, she would need...

    It depends on how the DMAs are drawn. Hartford CT and Springfield MA are 25 miles apart snd they are separate DMAs.

    Oh boy...

    I am SO GLAD I stopped keeping up with this stuff so long ago. 20+ years ago. It’s now a lifestyle. I started programming in HEX, and sometimes in OCTAL, after a brief stint in binary. Taught me to appreciate high order languages.

    The list I provided was for the Signal Protection channels only. Those channels normally received over satellite, but if you have signal loss, it switches to streaming. I did not include those channels that are streaming only (like BBC News, Channel 281), or those that have satellite for SD...

    why won't Dish fix their idiotic guide issues?

    You don't record streaming at all, right? All episodes are available 'VOD'. The advantage being that even if guides are deficient, all the episodes remain ready to start, even if just to verify content(?)

    why won't Dish fix their idiotic guide issues?

    This thread has been going for years now and the guides just keep getting worse. Streaming offers less info than Dish, yet I do not see a thread on the sh!tty streaming guides. You can't even distinquish the new episodes from the rerpeats on streaming. You just record all episodes and then hope...

    Disney+ / Hulu / Etc...+ to rein in Password Sharing

    I grew up extremely poor, nickel and dime is the way I know. Actually get a slight thrill by getting the best deals I can get. Hulu/Disney/ESPN, Netflix, Paramount+ and Google (last year YTTV and Sunday Ticket) I pay for with Gift Cards I get with my CC points, so the only cash is for Peacock...

    Disney+ / Hulu / Etc...+ to rein in Password Sharing

    Of course, this is household to household thing. My point is a la carte will be problematic regarding come and go and comeback and go again churn due to the lack of newer content. Personally, I get weary of nickel and diming with all of the services, and prioritization becomes a thing.
