Ted Turner has died 3 months ago

It flipped after the analog shutoff in 2009, most US TV stations are UHF now (even if the tv displays their VHF channel number)

Memories of .us 8 months ago

I had one but the "Delegated Manager" was a local dsl isp that went out of business and I lost the ability to update the name servers for it

I only buy the bluray if I've already seen it and know I'd want to watch again when I receive it. Keeps me from collecting stuff that doesn't get watched.

I loop through the collection by putting a watched disc back in a separate spot until I've gone through them all and then start over.

When I opened my checking account at Bank of America I was issued a ordinary debit card. After a couple years they replaced it with one with a Visa logo. I argued with them on the phone long enough to get them to replace it with an ordinary debit card. After than one expired they did the same thing and I gave up. I haven't seen a debit card from any bank without visa or mc in a long time.

Sometimes the terminal will ask Debit or Credit, sometimes it will just prompt for a PIN (meaning it wants to run it as debit) and you can just hit OK and it will run it as credit instead.

I think people were surprised Google did the work to upgrade it to Android 13 but only did a couple months of patches for it. I think the old promise was 2 years of major os and an additional year of patches.

I've had an HD Homerun with ATSC3 for a couple years now, but I haven't yet seen an ATSC3 TV in person.

This sounds complicated to implement compared to "ordinary" digital broadcasts, what is the incentive for TV manufacturers to implement it? It seems like every tv maker has their own plans for streaming and ad tracking, I would think they would view implementing ATSC3 as helping the competition.
