Meh, this is something that is hitting all industries, not just games. The raising of interest rates to combat inflation is making it more expensive to borrow money. The car industry is on the verge of calamity because they've priced cars too expensive to go with the new borrowing rates. Dealers (new and used) can't lower their costs because they bought cars under the old interest rates and now can't move them because borrowing got more expensive. Lowering prices too much more means taking a loss. It is hitting every industry. At some point the idiots out there have to realize that 3% inflation isn't the boogeyman they think it is.

I'm looking forward to his two super pacs running out of money and potentially him having the RNC's finances to bankrupt in time for the general election.

The tech industry is the ultimate sheep following sheep industry. Other tech companies laying people off? I better do it too! The Fear-Of-Looking-Stupid.

Building camps with the intent of keeping them in camps. Right out of the playbook. Israel takes all the heat and no one says boo about the appalling conditions they'll be kept in.

Look up antennaweb.org, like others have said.
I use this one: GE Outdoor HD Digital TV Antenna
You don't need to spend big money in order to get a great antenna. There are no specialized antennas needed for HD or 4k. Any antenna claiming range over 80 miles is making, being charitable, dubious claims. If it looks like a dildo, it will be a lousy antenna.

The new wrinkle to the modern antenna game is the transition to digital. You'll need a digital tuner to watch OTA now. Lots of TVs have them built in, so you can plug the antenna directly into them. If your TV doesn't, or you want to stream the OTA channels within your house you'll need a digital tuner like the HDHomeRun Flex 4k (4 tuners built in).

And the same downsides of antennas from back in the day are still a problem today. If you live in a rural area far from the broadcast centers, you'll have trouble picking up signal. If you live in a hilly or mountainous area, you'll have issues. If your local broadcasting areas are all spread out around you instead of one general area, you might have to pick and choose what you actually can pick up.

I mean, you don't even own a TV.

Of course, what the hell are you doing here?

Until ATSC 3.0 is fully adopted. Then, they're going to turn into cable.

I watched on an OTA antenna and an HDHomeRun device.

Whoops, your bias is showing.

Then share your local law. Don't be pissy that Americans are clarifying for other Americans.

This ruling gave him a week to appeal. So everything is on hold until next Wednesday. After that, bombs away.

Edit: Sorry, the deadline is Monday, 2/12.

Dollar short and a day late.

Update: I got my MicroSip soft phone working. But HA doesn't like to hear me properly. Example: When I ask it to "turn on office light" it works 70% of the time. The "turn off office light" only has worked once. Looks like the system is seeing "officelight" as what is spoken. I'm going to through all the exposed devices and creating one word aliases like "officelight." I'll test again soon to see if that improves recognition.

MicroSip setup:

Note: SIP Proxy and Domain IP address are the same, the IP of my Home Assistant.

Now I just have to figure out if I can get my Grandstream IP phone to use something similar.

It wasn't Netflix's decision to pull the content people wanted to watch. That was content creators like Disney that pulled their content to start their new streaming services. Netflix was stuck with creating their own content, which as it turns out is hard.

Also Netflix: We should raise our prices again.

The directions show how to take a transitional POTS phone and hook it up with a VOIP device. I do want to do that with a fancy looking old phone (but new construction). But with my existing VOIP phone I thought I could skip the conversion device.

It's all local network with a local assistant in HA. Nothing should be stopping it.

The Middle Eastern countries wouldn't stand for it. It doesn't fuck over Israel.

He keeps confusing her with Nancy Pelosi.

In the 90s, they shipped recovery CDs with viruses baked in. Knowingly shipping destructive code and hardware is kinda HP's thing.
