    Are you talking about logging on as an administrator or THE Administrator? I logon to all of my computers using the local username 'Admin' which is in the local Administrators group and I've always been prompted to authenticate to view saved passwords in web browsers.

    Windows 10/11 Download

    Willing to take that risk. Been running as a local Admin 100% of the time since forever and UAC is one of the first things that gets disabled on a clean install.

    Windows 10/11 Download

    Not sure what you mean by Super Administrator, but if you want to login Windows locally using the built in administrator account that has the username Administrator, it's always been there it's just disabled since sometime after XP. There are numerous ways to enable it, but the easiest is...

    New TOS

    I've been with XM since the very beginning, been with Sirius since year 2 and I never had a problem canceling a Sirius, XM or SiriusXM subscription. Prior to the merger, I had two subscriptions of each, an XM radio in the car and one in my entertainment center and a Sirius radio in the car and...

    Thoughts on December 2023 SXM App Update

    This doesn't seem to be related to being idle, I don't get the prompt and it's seemingly random. It could stop playing after 90 minutes, I'll close the app, relaunch it will play fine and then stop two hours later. And the timing is not consistent either. I get to my desk at 08:02 every...

    Thoughts on December 2023 SXM App Update

    The new updated app sucks big time. The previous version wasn’t that spectacular, but better than the garbage that’s there now. Took me longer than it should have to figure out Library means Favorites and that you have to go to Search to see All Channels. Terrible UI all the way around. There...

    What is happening to Nat Geo!?

    Don't understand the logic at all. This in all likelihood prevented or lessened the blow of a future price increase. Charter is still probably paying the same or more with the new deal, just not paying as much as they could have been had they agreed to carry the worthless channels that were...

    What is happening to Nat Geo!?

    As a Charter customer, I am soooooo happy those channels are gone. The only downside was the return of all of the other Disney owned channels. I wished they would have just gone away and never came back. None of the channels that were removed have a valid reason to exist. Their content can be...

    Pixel 8 Pro Pre-orders

    I did the Pixel 8 Pro + Pixel Watch 2 deal, with the trade in of my Pixel 7 Pro. Can’t really say there is much of a difference between the 7 Pro and the 8 Pro. My original Pixel Watch was all banged up, so I was looking to get the PW2 anyway, and with the $420 trade in for the 7 Pro, I decided...

    Music channel change?

    I get the whole line up on my Bronco. Listened to TSO Radio on my way to and from work on ch 621 in my car. Finally a single artist channel I can get behind :) I can't stand the fragmented line up with channels in the same genres spread all throughout the line up. I get that not all radios can...

    Windows 11

    I know this is 6 months old, but of course you got scammed. Adobe stopped selling perpetual licenses for the vast majority of their software in 2012, Adobe Create Suite 6 was the last. Starting in 2013, they went near 100% SaaS with Creative Cloud. There is no way to pay a one time free for...

    Windows 10/11 Download

    As I always do with every new release of Windows 10 / 11, did a clean install on all of my devices. Stupid me for assuming the Media Creation Tool would have 23H2, since you know at the top of the download page it says: “Download Windows 11 (Current release: Windows 11 2023 Update l Version...

    Spectrum: Can you avoid cable box charges by just using the app?

    Available on Amazon for $8, and it's not dependent on a hard drive failure. https://www.amazon.com/Beijing-2008-Opening-Ceremony/dp/B001EQUEQY

    Spectrum: Can you avoid cable box charges by just using the app?

    To me, DVRs are nothing but temporary storage. No different then popping in a VHS tape in to record programming 25 years ago. Record, watch, rewind, record. I don't care for the concept of binge watching and if there is something I want to keep long term, I'll just buy it on DVD or blu ray...

    Spectrum: Can you avoid cable box charges by just using the app?

    Nope. Not now, not ever. I don't believe in the 'cloud', it's all BS. I want to be in control, I want on site recordings on a dedicated hardware device, I want my recordings to be independent of the internet. I don't need whole house DVR, don't need 100 recordings. I watch the previous...

    Windows 11

    I know you enjoy being argumentative about every little detail, but you know what I meant. I said it takes 5 minutes to install Windows, I mentioned nothing else. I did not ignore anything, as a Windows installation takes about 5 minutes. Whatever happens after that is up to the individual...

    Windows 11

    In the early days of Windows 11, I had the Health Check misreport multiple times in both directions and decided not to trust it. Hopefully it's more accurate now. Never seen a desktop PC where everything is soldered down only super thin light weight laptops and consumer grade junk. Buy a...

    Windows 11

    I had no idea. I never ever ever ever do in-place upgrades. With every feature update of Windows 10 and now 11, I format the drive and do a clean install. In-place upgrades aren't worth the potential trouble when a clean install of Windows takes like 5 minutes on modern hardware. A clean...

    Windows 11

    What other changes were they making and why did you want them changed? I would not want anyone messing around with the BIOS on my computers. I've only used business grade computers over the past decade, but I've never seen a case where secure boot and TPM were disabled by default. Not saying...

    Windows 11

    What exactly were you expecting them to say/do? How exactly did you expect to 'set it up'? More or less the two big requirements for Windows 11 are TPM 2.0 and an 8th generation or newer Intel Core CPU or whatever the AMD equivalent is. Basically anything 2018 or new should be able to run 11...

    Windows 11

    True, there is no Show all for system tray icons like in past versions, but as you can turn each one on/off individually resulting in no up carrot to see all of the tray icons. The task bar sucks in 11, as I probably said in a post from last year in this thread, I use ExplorerPatcher to provide...

    Windows 11

    That is not correct. I just installed Office 2003 on my Windows 11 22H2 VM a few moments ago, no problems at all, took less than 30 seconds to install, all core application launched without issue. Did not bother to install OneNote, FrontPage, Project or Visio. I do not have my copy of Office...

    DIRECTV unlikely to keep NFL Sunday Ticket

    You went from not knowing whether or not Prime games were on traditional TV at all in their local markets 24 hours ago, to knowing and speaking with authority about the subject?

    DIRECTV unlikely to keep NFL Sunday Ticket

    They are available in the local market of the two home teams, why wouldn't they be? Last week Thursdays Bills/Patriots game was simulcast locally here on ABC affiliate WKBW 7 . https://www.buffalobills.com/news/bills-vs-patriots-how-to-watch-stream-listen-thursday-night-football-prime-video...

    DIRECTV unlikely to keep NFL Sunday Ticket

    Just for clarification, are you saying NFL games that are exclusive to streaming, like Thursday Night on Amazon are not broadcast locally over in air in both teams respective home markets?
