We get zero OTA TV signals

Tonight was the first night it hurt after stopped 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

will run it there and we will m3u tuner it into

🚀 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.

Charter Spectrum revealed that it has lost 72,000 internet customers and 405,000 cable TV customers during the first quarter of 2024.

We're leaving Spectrum, soon.

It's 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 🖤🤍 💫

Some 40 years ago, my dad took a leap and decided to import and resell the microcomputer from the United Kingdom. This was indeed the era of the "micro", and lots of options were available like the , , , 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 with support for up to 2MB RAM. The operating system also contained IS-BASIC, and was a bliss to work with.

Seller's image of the Enterprise 64: Visible is original box holding the system. I haven't had the original box for probably 30 years.

Maybe I should write up my Speccy-in-a-case thing as a blogpost some time. Every time I post it a few people ask for details.

Now, where did I put the password to that blog site I used once or twice?
