Then ignore the thread, I find the conversation interesting and a fun trip down memory lane.
Nobody is making you participate or read the thread for that matter.
If it is pointless in your opinion, it is easy enough to pass the thread by.
Is it possible to say ONE THING on this site without getting embarrassed, gaslight or plain out yelled at for SIMPLE QUESTIONS?. I swear it's like anything and everything i say or do someone needs to constantly gaslight me for stupid reasons. Look, I started getting into satellite stuff LAST YEAR I dont know everything about satellite stuff yet. So obviously not everything i say is going to be 100% correct. We all make mistakes but can someone at least not get criticized and gaslight for BS like this?.
He's 15 years old and pushing the envelope. Better he be doing these things rather than getting in trouble. At 15 it is easy to go either way.
He's 14 and pushing the envelope at the glued edge. It would be better to get into classic computers or microcontrollers (Arduino/ESP32) where one can at least learn some fundamentals that will remain useful in the future.
Even aiming a satellite dish isn't all that useful (especially if you don't learn the Mathematics behind it) in today's world of beam-forming technology.
Let me guess: old computers are obsolete too. Just another thing to get gaslight with.
Yeah, he's 14 not 15. But who are we to tell him what hobbies he should engage in. You have to start somewhere and this is where he started. Perhaps later he will decide to play elsewhere. I know that between the time I was 14 and 17 I grew from each avenue I persued.
He's sorta fun, even though he has some old ideas.
Here's a suggestion - set him to ignore. That way you won't be bothered.
You have a lot of people on your side. Better to not argue with one of the members. Everybody can have an opinion.
You're correct with the opinion thing. That doesn't mean people should gaslight me every 2 seconds like I said multiple times.
Old computers are "obsolete" but the underlying principles surrounding how they work is still very much relevant to modern computing. More importantly, users are allowed to create new and useful programs on old computers.
The same can't be said of old satellite receivers that are denied access to the content that they were designed to deliver.
Because I have a large collection of recordings that are tied to my account with a relatively modern DVR.
If not for the EHD recordings, I'd probably be long gone.
We are gr'ups (Star Trek reference) with the necessary background to put the ultimate usefulness of a technology-oriented hobby into perspective.
DBS satellite is uniquely a consumption proposition (and that requires a subscription). The World needs more contributors.
