    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    I worked in one old tall building with Boost Infinite and my reception wasn't that good. Worked by an exterior wall. We moved recently into a different old(er) tall building, I'm not that far from an exterior wall and my reception is just fine. I don't know if they improved things, because I do...

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    75% means many things. 75 out 100. It is an average grade in school, while it is approaching a 1 to 1 grade for a road. 75% isn't common in elections and usually is only for zoo or park levies.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    So lenders are shifting loans to Dish/Echostar potentially with the spectrum leveraged because of the first amendment. I woulf have guessed Ergen has something ready to announce that will indicate a more sustainable revenue stream via the 5G and network he has laid out.

    AT&T Data Breach

    Naw, they'll give you a a couple years of ID protection from wherever. Never mind that your SS# doesn't evaporate after a couple of years.

    AT&T Data Breach

    No, I said it was frustrating. These companies lost our information, we are at risk... and there has been little to no reaction to failures in managing large swaths of personal data STILL. There might be a bit of elevated language tones in any number of Congressional hearings, but nothing past...

    AT&T Data Breach

    As an FYI, if you feel the need to lock your credit report, you don't trust any of the other systems to work. Your point is wrong because everyone is getting / has been hacked. Even my minor daughter's data is floating out there because some company (presumably health care) lost it. Really...

    Anyone here into retro gaming?

    I'd say that there used to be a time where getting the ROMs wasn't nearly as risky as it is today. Fishing for that stuff comes at a large security risk (you get what you pay for). The other thing to consider, some of the devices being sold with all of these games can very likely have something...

    AT&T Data Breach

    Personally, it is exhausting to do the double, triple, quadruple, bioauthentication on numerous services, utilities, etc... And the provider, service company, utility, etc... just give up the whole list. These people don't need to hack into accounts, they just need to hack into the server.

    AT&T Data Breach

    Because small companies getting hacked don't make the news. Also, ransomware isn't commonly revealed to the public. I've got to imagine banks need to have robust online security.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    Well, that article did a good job copying the other articles on the subject. Ergen's future remains tied to the monetization of the 5G network. That is where the growth in revenue is available. With revenue growth comes lending viability and the issue of debt starts to fade. The questions...

    Independence Day. OMG! The added scenes were just perfectly crafted to be CUT OUT OF THE FILM!! Should have been called "The Director Should be Shot" Cut.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    Hearing what? It is a three paragraph post on a blog, that vaguely references Bloomberg as a source, with no link. And the end of the post says: "There is this far no formal comment from either business." which makes the article title CLICKBAIT.

    Seems to be just a matter of time before two games every day. Half on NBC, other half on another network.

    Auto Racing 2024

    Wow, definitely precarious! Indy did their prize money event, The Thermal. It was interesting. Scott Dixon goofed and took out Grosjean who took out Veekay before completing turn one in thr first heat. Rosenquist easily held onto the first heat. Palou and McLaughlin ruled the second heat...

    Traditional Providers Losses, the entire year of 2023 Edition

    One thing I hated about Sling was the ad insertions. I tried sub'ing to Willow on Sling because you need the live TV angle to get access to some of the things like the IPL. And when watching on demand, trying to fast forward, because some cricket requires that (!), it'd hang up on me and I had...

    Traditional Providers Losses, the entire year of 2023 Edition

    Channels used to have a niche. Now only Food Network/Cooking (kind of), Cartoon Network, ESPN, Comedy Central, and TCM remain in that niche. The History, Science, and Arts channels don't exist anymore. Anyone remember what TLC / Bravo used to be like? I think I might reuse that line in another...

    With the recent college playoff announced, got to wonder how long the YTTV model will survive. Sports costs are exploding.

    That's right, the expansion thing, but they are getting more for that too. But it seems $150 million still per game.

    If my math is right, $200 million or so per game. I can't wrap my mind around that boggling sum.

    Abyss 4K

    I saw somewhere online that it was a distribution issue, so the discs weren't coming out quick enough. Probably add to the fact that people have been waiting for The Abyss to come out for over a decade, that likely caused problems too with orders being too high.
