** NO SPOILERS - so feel free to read ahead *** 
Curious if anyone is reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows? My son and I got it last night at midnight, and I read 50 pages or so before I went to bed. It is now 10pm, and I just finished the book. I am a fast fiction reader, but never have read that much in one day.
It was a hell of a book. I am still processing my emotions after finishing it. Its kind of amazing how much you can get drawn into a book like this.
PLEASE If you want to discuss specifics of the book, please use the SPOILER tags, just put the words spoiler inside a set of brackets - [ ] - and then at the end use [ /spoiler ]
One of the reasons I read it so quickly was so I could enjoy the ending on my own.

When I was reading it I was about a hundred pages ahead of my wife. I would just go, "Hmmm" and she would get upset.I was on a plane thursdsay flying to salt lake, started reading when i sat down.

I read the book so fast last weekend that I am now listening to the audiobook, to soak it in one more time at a more leisurely pace - or I should say at Jim Dale's pace
Just as good the second time. This is one of those series I'll go back to again and again I am sure, but there will sadly never be the same anticipation of wondering what will come next.
Maybe JK will have a change of heart in a few years, and decide she isn't done with Harry Potter yet.
(I know, not likely, but you can always hope!)

The encylcopedia will be cool; still its always difficult to have a favorite book series end.
And this series is particularly important to me, particularly as I watch my 9 year old really discover reading fiction with it. He is still on book six, and keeps asking me questions about seven (which I refuse to answer - telling him to find out for himself).

To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
For niche use cases, yes I agree. Kali for ethical hacking and security testing, and running a Cacti server for network monitoring are the two things I have experience in. Plus thousands and thousands of other things, but for every day use I just can't see it. The owner of the GMRS repeater that I pay to access is changing the Tx DPL tones tomorrow, while Chirp is available on Linux, the software to program my MXT500 is not.To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
I run Fedora and Ubuntu in VMWare, honestly I don't care much for the UI of either of them and I don't feel like spending days/weeks to customize the UI to make it look Windows-like when I could just use Windows. The cartoonish dock at the bottom of the screen reminds me of Apple products.
Actually it looks like there are a lot of features new or updated, although most are on a gradual rollout schedule.

It's dead, they just don't know it yet. They killed it by forcing DRM on it, and that TOTALLY botched implementing it.
There is absolutely NO compelling reason for anybody to switch to ATSC3.0. They only want it as a total and complete money grab.

WHAT ABOUT THE INTERNET PART OF IT. NO ONE WANTS A BOX CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET EITHER.

That would be handy. Download the latest RNA snippets that can be updated over 5G and no more shots! You're a Genius!Cough, cough. COVID vaccine implants.
Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

It states the average amount they are under water is OVER $7,000. 
Personally, I tend to be the type that drives a vehicle for a lot of years....do my own oil changes and other fluid changes. Just replaced the spark plugs and a couple coils. Youtube is great for things like this.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
