    Why?

    If anything, I'd like to see the streaming services of DISH and DIRECTV given their own subforums in an attempt to avoid the confusion that often results from stuffing them in together with their satellite counterparts.

    Auto Racing 2025

    PIR, Road America and Laguna Seca doesn't feature much banking at all -- some even feature some negative banking. In the grand scheme, speed = predictable downforce = more consistent control. Elevation changes that some of the road courses (especially Laguna Seca) introduce shouldn't be...

    Auto Racing 2025

    How is Indy more demanding than Portland International Raceway, Road America or Laguna Seca (as examples)? Are we talking demanding on the car, demanding on the driver or both?

    If you're still using a 15 year old router with its factory software, you've got bigger concerns than this.

    Malicious Python Trojan Hidden 3+ Years: Discord Developers Targeted

    The title is misleading as the problem isn't with Python itself but an obscure PyPy package for logging Discord errors.

    Ford to drop AM radio in new vehicles

    There are some important obstacles to vehicular AM support as I see it: Interference from various automotive electronic devices (especially high-energy ignition and fuel injection systems) Antenna placement options AM tuners are more costly to implement from an electronics standpoint

    Ford to drop AM radio in new vehicles

    It has been my experience that Emergency Alerts (weather, Amber alerts) also come on commercial FM and TV stations (not necessarily the public ones). AM is used for localized rural traffic warnings according to the road signs that I see. Unfortunately, my local AM station (KBZY) goes to...

    Cox, Charter merging?

    While the equipment may be advanced, Xfinity's software is deplorable. You have to use a phone app to configure what little is available to configure on their routers. For those who run a dozen 4K streaming sessions on their Roku Ultras or ATVs, Xfinity's offering may be just the ticket, but...

    Cox, Charter merging?

    Data caps are toxic, and new data caps are surely much more toxic in a marketplace that promises to have alternatives (whether or not those alternatives are all they appear to be). Cable companies have recently begun to bleed broadband customers in significant numbers, and that's not a trend...

    Cox, Charter merging?

    As a data point (not a "mine is better than yours" jab), I recently upgraded my owned modem and I'm getting nearly 180/85 with Xfinity. At one point, I was seeing 180/180, but that was short-lived. I'm paying $67/month and suffer a 1.2TB cap.

    Cox, Charter merging?

    Those terms expired two years ago today (May 18, 2023). They applied to weasel out of the data cap requirement in 2021 but withdrew their application when it appeared that the FCC wasn't amenable.

    Cox, Charter merging?

    That may (or may not) come as part of any regulatory requirements applied to the merger. While the term "data cap" is toxic in the marketplace, cable can still claim that they don't throttle or "deprioritize" like wireless or satellite does.
