    Probably by removing Write and Delete access, leaving just Read, across the board. edit: oops, didn’t read Scott’s post on the next page to see the actual answer using the Linux chattr command. Cool.

    Elsbeth-CBS

    She’s not really a Detective, she just does that Elsbeth thing of hers. She was a great lawyer by picking up on those clues that got dropped during trial.

    And when I just posted, my image is likewise showing the little blue square with a question mark. edit two minutes later, now it shows up. I am trying Ilya’s posts over in the Pub again…

    System Updates

    Scott, do you think this might be a symptom of all the Server work that was done today? Many of the pictures Ilya took down in Boca Chica at the Starbase show up like this: I’m not sure a delete cache would clear this up as these images shouldn’t be cache on my browser.

    Windows 10/11 Download

    This issue with bad updates has become more of an issue for Companies using Windows for Business since the new methodology of “Patch as Soon as Patches are Released” is considered less a Business Risk than running unpatched systems that vulnerable to Ransomware that exploit those unpatched...

    Anybody knows what model this could be?

    That box looks like the one that I got with my original 2000 receiver back in 1996. It came with a Dish 300 in the box along with the 2000 Receiver. Plus, I paid the up-front Annual price for Americas Top 60 (or something like that), all for under $700.

    Masters of the Air - Apple TV+

    There’s a good write-up of the history and making of “Masters of the Air” on the National Geographic website. It may require a subscription to read, however. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/premium/article/masters-of-the-air-wwii-historical-details

    Apple Vision Pro Gets a Release Date

    Well, I didn't post the two hour video (see below, I linked it to the start of the Animoog discussion) that discussed everything that could be a more comprehensive review of the capabilities of the Animoog. Considering I am not a musician and cannot play a keyboard, this $30 app seemed to...

    I saw Moog has a Vision Pro native app (Animoog Galaxy) that lets you use your Vision Pro to create music. https://www.moogmusic.com/news/introducing-animoog-galaxy AnimoogOnAppleVisionPro

    Halo on Paramount +

    Boy, I had to scroll a l-o-n-g way to resurface the “Halo” thread! The second season is underway. There’s a lot going on, so pay attention.

    3 Body Problem - Netflix

    Definitely had their subtitles turned on. It made me pay attention as I couldn’t understand anything that was being said (rarely was there English dialogue). There were some “interesting” bits of dialogue when interacting with the non-Chinese characters. I’m not sure if that was done as a way...

    NFL 2023-2024 Season

    Considering the population of the United States last year was just over 333 million people and the population in 1969 was just under 203 million, the first manned lunar landing still wins by percentage of available viewers. It’s like saying “Avatar” is the highest grossing movie when its...

    Marvel Studios: The Marvels

    I’m sorry, but I thought this was a fun movie to watch. Mrs. Foxbat and just streamed it tonight, and watching it a second time, I picked up on a few more things that I missed in the theater.

    3 Body Problem - Netflix

    I have finished ”Three Body” on Prime Video and have to say, Wow! It’s a slow burn, but it does a fairly good job with the source material. As I mentioned in the “What are you Watching” thread, the last two episodes pull out all the stops with over-the-top CGI to leave you wanting more. Now...

    Apple Vision Pro Gets a Release Date

    I had to stop wearing contacts due to the coronal scarring I have from doing stoopid things as a kid. This contributes to my astigmatism.

    Apple Vision Pro Gets a Release Date

    Others have demonstrated extending the battery life with a USB-C charging cable, so that’s nice. Also, it didn’t take long before the Google Glassholes came out and did stupid things with the Apple Vision Pro, like driving a car (including a Cybertruck) while wearing the AVP. Our old mayor even...

    I’m curious what my prescription that includes astigmatism correction would mean for my use of AVP?

    I was told about this by our resident Literary connoisseur. I thought he said it was on PBS, though. I’ll have to give him a hard time about that… ;)

    Apple Vision Pro Gets a Release Date

    Oops, I was wrong. It depends on the kind of contacts you wear. From the Apple Vision Pro support site: If you wear contact lenses If you use single vision soft prescription contact lenses, you can use Apple Vision Pro without ZEISS Optical Inserts — Prescription. If you use hard contact...

    Apple Vision Pro Gets a Release Date

    I expect there will be Vision Pro refurbished units at some point. Just as good as brand new, same warranty and support, but at a lower price.

    I thought Apple discouraged wearing contacts due to the eye tracking and iris recognition.

    And, of course, iFixit has a Tear-Down video. This is the time-condensed version, just to give a feel for how it all goes together: https://youtu.be/JVJPAYwY8Us

    Masters of the Air - Apple TV+

    Given the limited number of air-worthy B-17 bombers, they made two practical B-17 airframes for the ground shots, half a B-17 for the interior shots, with all of the aerial B-17 shots being CGI. https://screenrant.com/how-masters-of-the-air-flight-scenes-filmed-cgi
