Tonight was the first night it hurt after #Spectrum stopped #cableCard support in our area and cut our card off. We had several finales going on. I'm not paying for their dvr service. I've recorded over the air or via cablecard for +30 years
The tv season is about up and by the next, we will have a remote DVR/PVR setup
We're putting a TV tuner in my brother's system, he has A+ OTA sig & he has fiber
🚀 Pretty cool overview by Tim Dodd of the design of two German rockets: #RFA One and Isar's #Spectrum 🇩🇪🇪🇺
I had the chance to visit the Spectrum assembly hall so already knew about the amazing 3D printing of their thrust chambers, but didn't appreciate how different the design philosophy was between both companies.
RFA is heavily leveraging an automotive supply chain to reduce cost and offer a scalability advantage compared to other aerospace companies.
In June 2020, our cable & internet bill was $79.00. We only have the local TV, 10 channels package & poor, rural Internet. Now, same service, $160.00 per month.
Spectrum customers show company the consequences of hiked prices
Charter Spectrum revealed that it has lost 72,000 internet customers and 405,000 cable TV customers during the first quarter of 2024.
It's #NationalSuperheroDay and I have made at least 100 superhero costumes over the past 15 years + I could share any of them, but I've had the same favorite superhero since I was 4 years old. She used to lead the Avengers, you know. Captain Marvel herself, Monica Rambeau 🖤🤍 💫 #CaptainMarvel#Photon#Spectrum#MonicaRambeau#cosplay
Some 40 years ago, my dad took a leap and decided to import and resell the #Enterprise64 microcomputer from the United Kingdom. This was indeed the era of the "micro", and lots of options were available like the #Spectrum, #Amstrad, #NewBrain, #Lynx and numerous others. Unfortunately competition was hard, and the Enterprise was delayed for almost a year. Eventually they went bankrupt and all stock was exported to Eastern Europe where it got a second life among some very hard core enthusiasts. Very few were actually sold in Denmark - I would assume less then a hundred - and today I managed to get my hands on the third one in my collection. Inherited from his dad, the seller had no idea what to use this for. It's very much a special item, and very far from the mainstream like the Commodore 64. It is nevertheless a fascinating machine, sporting a #Zilog#Z80 with support for up to 2MB RAM. The operating system also contained IS-BASIC, and was a bliss to work with.
"It took quite a journey to get here," laments the host of Geek Battle Gaming in his review of a surprising ZX Spectrum release... Mighty Final Fight, based on the NES game that was based on the arcade game. (Phew.)...
#Spectrum came back only to disconnect again and won't be back until 9:30 PM I hate being jerked around by these cable companies just say we have no fucking idea when it will be fixed because when they lie it makes me angrier
To my total non shock #spectrum is now telling me service won't be restored till 7:30 PM why don't they just say honestly we don't know when we will restore service
Alright, home labbers and work from home techies. It's time for a cable modem upgrade. I have Spectrum as my provider, up to 1 gig down / 35 up. (From my current of 60 up!).... Recommendations?
