    Windows 10/11 Download

    Yeah I knew it was their official position, but it used to be as simple as just not connecting to the internet until everything was set up. I'll probably just set up an account, I'm not interested in having a hacked-up Windows installation, I had enough trouble with that back when I was...

    Windows 10/11 Download

    But a Microsoft account is now required for an official install, isn't it?

    Windows 10/11 Download

    I thought that WSL was mainly for running servers, I didn't think it offered a GUI. I also thought that it was only available in Pro or whatever they call it, not Home. (I may be conflating this last point with whatever they call their virtual machine system -- or does WSL2 [I think not the...

    Windows 10/11 Download

    I haven't upgraded to 11 yet, was thinking about doing it this weekend. I was assuming that there would be the option at upgrade time to encrypt or not. But as WhiteBeard said, maybe it won't even be available if Secure Boot isn't selected? (I'm assuming I can do the upgrade without turning...

    Windows 10/11 Download

    I agree. Windows 11, however, also supposedly defaults to full-disk encryption. I'll never enable that, because how the hell are you supposed to recover your disk if it gets corrupted, plus it'll be incompatible with Linux. But just last week I saw someone in the Microsoft forum on the...

    Windows 10/11 Download

    Since it's financial software, they're probably just swallowing the corporatist dogma that anyone not running the latest patches is inevitably going to get compromised. Of course they never defend their assertion logically. Most people are running behind some sort of NAT box, even if it...

    two annoying "Post Thread" behaviors

    The first one has been going on for quite some time: even if I'm in a forum or subforum when clicking the Post Thread button, it asks me what forum I want to post in. Wouldn't it make more sense to assume I wanted to post in the forum I'm reading? The second one just happened tonight, and...

    it's after the 14th, should I have got the upgrade to Windows 11 by now?

    I got the last update to Windows 10 on Tuesday, but I see nothing about upgrading to Windows 11 despite the fact that my system is capable of doing so. I DON'T have Secure Boot turned on, but my BIOS supports it, which is all that it's SUPPOSED to require -- or is Microsoft incapable of using...

    OTHER GT Media V9 Prime TP List

    I'm thinking that those are probably T2MI transponders, but I don't know why it also says "T" on ones that aren't. Bug?

    Review: consumer receiver natively tuning 4:2:2

    Well if the frequency table selection is only for cable, as your one picture hints, that might explain it. On cable, channel 14 immediately follows channel 13, instead of being hundreds of megahertz higher. It looks like, above the cable selections, there are OTA selections for specific DMAs...

    TNAP 6 for Edision: Yes or No?

    You shouldn't scan it, the radio channels have already been entered with their names -- the channels won't even show up in a scan, this receiver isn't doing anything magic compared to any other receiver. Try enabling the satellite and then changing your channel list to radio channels. The...

    Soon to be 93 W* bird if approved by the FCC

    Just did a scan again and got nothing from 91 or 93.

    Soon to be 93 W* bird if approved by the FCC

    The ones I saw had a much lower symbol rate. I think it was 15500, which is kind of distinctive, maybe it'll mean something to someone. The Edision supposedly scans up to 60000. I wonder what's going on with the 63999 -- are they on the Bell satellite, or something else? I haven't scanned...

    Soon to be 93 W* bird if approved by the FCC

    I scanned that location early this morning and I found three transponders, but no channels. Unless they're bleeding over from 95W. I haven't scanned that because it's supposed to be all DirecTV. I tried again just a little while ago and got nothing. So either they're not full-time, or...

    TNAP 6 for Edision: Yes or No?

    I think my Mio (no "plus") is staying on 5.1 for a while. I've had no end of blind scan problems with 6.0. It misses transponders frequently, even using the No-T2MI driver (which is the one I'm also using on 5.1, due to the others having problems with dropping LNB power which I've mentioned...

    Edision mio+ 4K Tuner (?) issue

    I haven't had a good experience with the T2MI driver in 5.1 either. It doesn't fail on simply switching polarities like the OP's system, but it will randomly fail after blind scans, and randomly fail when coming out of standby mode. There doesn't seem to be a set time period, but it WILL...

    The FCC Will Allow ABC, CBS, FOX, & NBC TV Stations to Shutdown Free ATSC 1.0 & Switch to ATSC 3.0 Only

    The FCC hasn't served the public interest since -- well, wait a minute, have they ever served the public interest?

    Any way to get rid of awful Anime image in TNAP?

    I must have not used Crystal Disk Info in a LONG time, I don't remember anything other than a normal UI. On the other hand, I remember whipping the llama's ass, and I still put a Santa hat on my traffic cone every December.

    Any way to get rid of awful Anime image in TNAP?

    The boot logo is stored in /boot/bootlogo.mvi What can you use to create a .mvi file? No idea. Why didn't Enigma use a more popular format? No idea.

    Deja Vu, Disney sues Dish again, this time over Sling TV's mini-Bundle

    I should've been a judge. I would tell them "be glad you're getting carriage at all with that attitude, now get out and quit wasting my time!"

    Hulu to Shut Down in the U.S. and Combine with Disney+

    So, what's the pricing going to look like for those of us who have bundles? 2026 is only 4 months away, they'd better be thinking about things like this.
