Many certainly do. As I said, "humans being human".

I'm a retired systems administrator/analyst for a multi-national company. There is no practical way multiple dynamic systems like those in the Dish systems could be dynamically backed up and reloaded to ~10K systems in a couple of days while still keeping them isolated from the same attack that...

With 10,000+ servers and desktops affected, having up to date backups of dynamic constantly changing systems would be a tall order. I understand they did rebuild in part from backups, but updating those backups to include current data would take more that a day or two. As for "offsite", where do...

If DTV was hit with a ransomeware and paid the millions demanded, now they're not only out the money, but are sitting on a time bomb system that could be held for ransom again at any time. At least Dish now knows how the attack occurred and is taking steps to prevent a reocurence.

I have an old 18" dish that I've used to get the Dish programming at 110 and 119. I'd think DTV programming would work as well.

The power company's contention was that I can't order the disconnect of someone else's service, which does make sense. Once the safety guy signed off that it was an abandoned service, they didn't press me for the outstanding bill left by the account holder.

I had that happen years ago when I tried to get the power company to disconnect the lines serving an old RV campsite on my recently purchased property. The power folks said the individual that ordered the service and still owed them money had to pay up and cancel the service before they could...

I can connect my hearing aids to my Dish Hopper and FireTVstick with bluetooth, but usually I just connect them to the TV bluetooth adapter so it doesn't matter which programming source I'm using for viewing. In the bedroom, I just connect my aids to the FireTVstick, since that's the only...

The sameness of the fine amount suggests there may be some legal limit per license.

Oops! That's my typo. It is 101 and 119 of course.

The Winegard RT2035T is a "Road Trip" in-motion dome capable of being configured for the DTV 110 and 119 sats (SD only), the Dish 110, 119, and 129 sats (HD/SD), or the Bell 82 and 91 sats (HD/SD), and is designed for vehicle roof mounting.

Linus Torvalds did not use any UNIX code in his Linux kernel. None... I've probably written more UNIX and Linux code in my years as a systems administrator/analyst than you've ever seen. Get over yourself. Linux is not UNIX and I'm done trying to educate you...

I read your link. Obviously you didn't. The whole piece refers to a "UNIX-like" definition, not whether a kernel is actually UNIX or not. If a kernel is not UNIX certified, it's not UNIX. End of discussion...

I've not gotten into the privacy issues related to Android or any other OS in this off-topic discussion. That's a whole different can of worms... ;)

What part of "and the other UNIX version developers" is beyond your understanding?

If Linux was a "subset" of UNIX, AT&T, Berkeley, Sun, and the other UNIX version developers would have been all over Linux kernel developer Linus Torvalds and GNU developer Richard Stallman with copyright lawsuits in the 90's. Didn't happen. Yes, UNIX and Linux use a similar structure and...

The Linux kernel is a complete open source rewrite of the Unix kernel that can run on many different platforms including running on several super computers. Most Apple OS's have been certified as true UNIX based OS's. The closest we can say about Linux is that it's "Unix like". Once again we're...

Sorry, but Apple OS's are Unix variant based, not Linux based... "OS X uses a hybrid kernel known as XNU, which is primarily a combination of Berkley's Free BSD and Carnegie Mellon's Darwin kernel" ... "The Mach microkernel is the core of the platform, with BSD supplying the POSIX...

Roku runs on a modified version of the Linux kernel. So does Android...

DishAnywhere also offers some channels streamed directly from the source without passing through the receiver.

Don't tell that "unproven" part to the hundreds of people currently using the Starlink service.

How well did ViaSat Exede work for VOIP, gaming, video meetings, and the other widely used applications that require low latency as well as adequate speeds?

Every article I've seen relative to the DTV auction only mentions AT&T possibly retaining a minority interest. The two primary results AT&T appears to be interested in by offloading DTV are debt reduction and spectrum purchases.

We're playing "What if..." a venture firm buys DTV and isn't satisfied with the ROI.

If the sats are not generating income, they could always de-orbit them and cut their loses.
