re: Spectrum has purchased Cox
Posted by TAMU-93 on 8/20/26 at 1:25 pm to Brosef Stalin
I've had Spectrum for home, business and cell service. The service is good for cable. If you already have Cox, you know what to expect with cable internet.
I think their customer services is pretty good among ISPs. Exchanging and returning equimpent has always been painless. My friend was having connection issues due to construction in her area. Spectrum sent her a new router with cell service failover for free.

I know it's a massive bestseller, but it left zero impression on me. The only detail I actually remember is that the main guy was a shepherd.
re: Here's a great video of The Who singing, "Who Are You"

I can't hear this song without remembering a conversation I had circa 2000.
Me: I'm going to see The Who.
Her: Who is The Who?
Me: Do you know the CSI theme song? Who are you? Who, who, who who?
Her: Yeah.
Me: That's The Who.
Her: Why are you going to see them?!
Dumb ho thought I was going to see a band whose only claim to fame was a TV theme song.

re: Smart Thermostat for Home
Posted by TAMU-93 on 5/21/26 at 8:06 am to MorbidTheClown
I have a Amazon Smart Thermostat.
In the Amazon Alexa app you can create routines, like if the temperature is above 80 send a notification. But those won't work if the device is offline. The device will show offline in the app, but it doesn't push a notification.
The c wire provides power for the thermostat. There are some smart thermostats that work off batteries. To know if you have it, you'd have to look for it on your air handler's control board.

I rewatched Halloween today because of this thread and lost it when Michael carjacks the nurse. I was thinking, "This kid has been locked up since he was six, how does he know how to drive?" And then the very next scene, a character yells, "How the hell did he learn to drive?!" Perfect timing.
Not a great movie. It's coasting on name recognition.

re: PC runs Windows 10. It's my understanding Windows 11 requires secure boot?

Possibly, Windows 11 requires a GUID Partition Table (GPT) on the boot drive. Check in disk manager -> right click the boot disk -> properties -> volumes -> partition syle.

What do we think about this?
ChromeOS Flex is basically a cloud console. If you do everything in the browser, it's fine. I'm assuming you were running Windows on purpose. ChromeOS Flex doesn't run Windows programs.
If you're willing to wipe your disk, try doing a fresh install of Windows 11. If it still says your hardware is incompatible, I'd install some flavor of Linux, like Mint, over ChromeOS Flex.

My friend talked me into trying a case with a kickstand. I didn't think it would be that useful, but I was wrong. I absolutely love it. Because, of course, I'd rather have the screen pointed at me than the ceiling.

We might not even use apps in the future. Imagine an Agentic OS on your phone where you simply ask for help with your sobriety. It could find and sign you up for meetings, manage your schedule, and use GPS to keep you away from old triggers. It could proactively freeze your credit card at liquor stores, block enabling contacts, and even alert your support system if you’re heading toward a relapse. At that point, the phone itself becomes the intervention.

The animation is gorgeous. I don't remember the previous animated series looking this good. They nailed that "lived in" universe look.
