    Creating a New Thread - “Similar threads” is Collapsed

    Is this a new behavior? When creating a new thread, it used to be that XenForo would show threads with similar words in the title. But now, that list is collapsed: …instead of… This “feature” has led to there being two identical titles in the TV Shows subforum.

    My House is Under Attack! What’s that you say? The Calls are Coming from Inside?!??!!?

    I have a Synology RT-2600 that I am using for my main Wi-Fi signal, and it’s been working great for us. Today, while at work, my Apple Watch starts binging and buzzing my wrist, and when I look, I see that it has blocked access to an IP address. Problem is, there isn’t anyone at home! There...

    Outdated Peripherals

    I finally was forced to take action after my recent MacBook with Apple Silicon purchase. I was trying to print Christmas card labels with the new Mac to my old HP LaserJet that we’ve had for at least a dozen years, but each time I would try to print, the Print Spooler reported a “Filter” error...

    Scratching my Head…

    Here’s a great Law of Unintended Consequences: we were installing a new Wireless Access Point in the office today, which allowed us to relocate the existing AP to a location closer to our Company’s HR offices. To check the signal strength, my new network analyst pulls out his iPhone and brings...

    Star Trek: Lower Decks

    Season 4 is now out, like most series they dropped two episodes on Thursday. They hinted at “that Pike thing we aren’t supposed to talk about” in the first, but the second episode had me howling. The writers are off to a strong start.

    What the Heck, YouTube?

    When did this start with embedded YouTube links? I don’t know if it’s just me or if this is some fresh heck that Google decided to inflict on us. First Twitter, then Reddit, now YouTube.

    AppleTV 4K Users Question

    I have a question for any AppleTV 4K users who have the YouTube App on their ATV — for the last three weeks or so since some YouTube app update, my ATV4K and LG C1 OLED have been “fighting” with HDR handshakes. The symptoms are I’ll select a video to watch, the screen goes black and comes back...

    Dish Offering Price Lock for Two Years - Any Takers?

    I received an email from Dish last Wednesday offering me a chance to “Lock in“ our current programming package price for the next two years.

    Northern Michigan OTA Changes

    I have arrived at our family Vacation Home and found two out of the dozen or so OTA channels are working, the rest had no signal. I did a rescan and came up with 8 channels found: six for WFUP 45-01 thru 45-06, 22-01 (ID’d as DTV by our Dish VIP 211), and 20-01, also ID’d as DTV. Tuning in...

    1980s Computer Throwback

    Apple iDevice Recycling

    The time had come, I had to make the trip to my local Apple Store to recycle some iDevices that I had sitting around for some time. Mrs. Foxbat got a new iPad Air for Christmas 2019 and I had been using her old one even though it wouldn’t go past iOS 13. Plus, my Mother-in-Law was in a similar...

    Why isn’t The Archives Forum Read-Only?

    Scott (or any Mods), With the XenForo software more than happy to throw up questionable thread suggestions at the bottom of the page, people are responding to threads that are years, or (in the case of my current diversion) decades old. I thought the idea of an Archive was to be a...

    Netflix Prices Increase

    I received the email from Netflix notifying me of a $2 Price Increase on Christmas Day, Ho, Ho, Ho! (It’s probably just my Billing Cycle, but still…) Anyway, they are increasing my Netflix from $15.99/mo to $17.99/mo. I checked my streaming history and the last time I watched anything on...
