Wow. I guess it's good that incantation still works. I would have figured that Microsoft would have come up with a better solution to patch management by now. I think I learned that back in the W2000 or XP days…

I'll be running it this weekend. I had to boot into Windows the other day, and it froze after booting with a Python error. A hard reset, and it booted fine, but I've had Wiondows freeze a few times over the last few months during boot.

Those commands are something I've always kept for times like this, after I run Samsung Magician, should it not find the issue.

I highly recommend running a default Memtest86 test (four passes, all tests) on the machine. Note that it may take all night.

I use a Beelink Mini PC, Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake- N95 running Windows 11 Pro as my Channels DVR. I only log into it when I need to, and do that with the Remote Desktop app from my personal Windows 10 laptop.

It runs Channels DVR, plus Docker Desktop and a few bridge programs used with Channels like that. It's supposed to auto-logon into my profile back into the Windows Desktop, and auto start all those things. EVERY TIME it reboots for whatever reason, usually only AFTER one of these push updates at 3am, Channels itself restarts fine, but my Docker Desktop and two bridge programs do NOT restart unintended like they should.

IF I then log into the Windows desktop using the Remote Desktop app, Docker and my bridge programs THEN engage and startup as they should.

What's wrong with my settings, so I can fix this once and for all to properly log into my profile after an automatic update reboot to bring up Windows and allow these programs to autostart as they should?

I don't use docker on my windows 11 pc but I do use Channels DVR and after updates it reverts back to the login screen and Channels DVR does not run until I login. I have been burned by this several times. How are you getting windows 11 to auto log in?

Breakfast for lunch. Crispy corned beef hash, home fries, two over easy eggs and sourdough toast.

Grabbed a burrito on the run. Beef, pinto beans, green chile and cheese. Stewart's cream soda.

I wonder it they will show the teased meeting (in Origins) with Tony and Gibbs.

I'm curious how they are going to implement Tony into Origins (If they do) ...
Tony was introduced to Gibbs and the team, on NCIS, which makes it the Mothership side of things, he worked in Baltimore prior to NCIS, NO mention when they met that anyone had known one another ...

AT&T runs First Net which was set up so first responders have a signal almost everywhere, which is the case around here and up and down the east coast when I've been traveling. In my experience T-Mobile has the fastest network but patchy coverage while Verizon has a slow network and also patchy coverage as well. We also have a iPhone on T-Mobile and one on Mobile-X which uses the Verizon network, so comparison is easy.

I did a 2500 mile round trip road trip a few weeks ago, there were a handful of places where Verizon had service and I had nothing on FirstNet. Most notably in the backwoods of Kentucky and Tennessee. Those same places I had no service on T-Mobile either. In populated areas, like the Lexington metro and Knoxville metro AT&T not only had great coverage, better than Verizon and T-Mobile generally, they have n77 everywhere. I hit 1.2 Gbps or higher pretty much everywhere, beating out the other two. That is the exact opposite here back in Western NY. Very little n77 on AT&T here and T-Mobile always rockets to 1.5 Gbps or higher.

As far as I know, there is no AT&T tower in my town. The tower I connect to when I'm outside, no service indoors, is one about 4.5 miles north of me in a different town, I can barley latch on to band 12, not 14. It's LTE only but when near that tower I exceed 200 Mbps which is phenomenal for low band LTE, but T-Mobile and Verizon have mid band on the same tower, and i'm well over a gig.

I'm looking forward to the n14 conversion and deployment of n79/4.9 GHz. Since AT&T can't sell their home internet service in NY State, I don't expect big things from them besides the enhancements to FirstNet.

AT&T basically went downhill as even for Internet, they were slow in offering services as AT&T WorldNet did not exist until 1994.
In 1994, the commercialization of the Internet accelerated rapidly, forcing major telecommunications giants like AT&T to compete directly with pioneering network operators like BBN (Bolt Beranek and Newman).

AT&T's Early Moves. In October 1994, AT&T launched its first public World Wide Web presence (www.att.com). However, AT&T initially lagged behind rivals in offering direct, commercial Internet backbone and access services, leading it to look for external partnerships to catch up quickly.

Having built and operated the original ARPANET, BBN formed its commercial Internet service provider (ISP) division, BBN Planet, in 1994. By the end of that year, BBN acquired regional networks like SURAnet, making it the largest provider of corporate and institutional Internet access in the United States.

Long-distance rival MCI moved faster than AT&T into commercial Internet infrastructure. Alongside Sprint, IBM, and UUNet, MCI operated one of the primary commercial Internet backbones as the government-funded NSFNET prepared for decommissioning in 1995.

Because AT&T needed immediate enterprise-grade Internet capabilities to counter MCI and Sprint, AT&T forged a major alliance with BBN Planet in mid-1995.

According to The New York Times, AT&T guaranteed BBN Planet at least $120 million in revenue over three years to supply Internet access and security services to AT&T's corporate clients, while also purchasing a minority stake in the company.

While the BBN partnership gave AT&T an immediate foothold in corporate Internet services, AT&T soon built out its own massive consumer and enterprise infrastructure, launching dial-up service AT&T WorldNet in 1996. So basically AT&T would use BBNPlanet's backbone and BBNPlanet would then use MCI's backbone for anything they didn't handle directly.

Meanwhile, GTE acquired BBN in 1997, eventually merging it into what became Verizon's network assets.

Only thing was I thought AT&T split into 13 Regional Bell Operating Companies and not 7 like it says.

The 13 Regional Bell companies were pre-divestiture.

And of all of them, only Cincinnati Bell remains, correct?

We're in NY and we can now. We're an AT&T retailer and have been selling AT&T Internet Air for a few months. It's $35 a month if you're an AT&T post paid subscriber, $55 a month if you're not a subscriber.

Satellite customers have satellite only mixes of FOX and FS1 on channel 205-1 and Telemundo and Universo on channel 407-1

They moved some of the streaming mixes to new numbers and eliminated most of the 900s:
Locals Mix is now only on 1 (Still limited to those 29 markets)
The News Mixes are now only on 200
The Sports Mixes are now only on 205
Food Mix is now on 234 (Still streaming customers only)
Kids Mix is now on 291
Business Mix is now only on 352
The Weather Mixes are now on 366 (Still streaming customers only, MyFree users also have access to the Accuweather/FOX Weather version)

I wish they would have fit the League Sports Mix in the 210's somewhere since it's all by itself now.

The League Sports Mix has been discontinued and repurposed into a different Deportes Mix with Univision, TUDN, ESPN Deportes and FOX Deportes

205 MIXS3 has returned with ESPN/ESPN2/FS1/NFLN
