Spectrum is looking to buy Altice which owns my cable provider (Optimum/Cablevision) and their cloud DVR already sucks...
It most certainly does!
We need a cable box with a hard drive in it, like the now defunct Scientific Atlanta box had.

That stinks.
My FIL had the problem.
He could only see out the side of his eyes.
He had to sit sideways to watch TV.

I don't understand all the negative comments about WIN11.
I've been using it since it came out.
I had a small HP notebook that couldn't upgrade to it from WIN10 for a few months, and then MS fixed that.
It is the most reliable OS from MS I have ever used.
Myself, my computer savvy son or anyone else I know who uses it has no problems with it at all.
What am I missing?

Did he say no backups? He said that "she does not want an external drive except for backup" That is she would back up to external drive but not using the external drive for her main storage.
Oops! I screwed up.

[quote=happy sailor]Just bought my wife a new laptop, it was a MacBook Pro M3 with 16gb memory and a 2TB ssd.
The reason we went with a 2TB drive is she does not want external drives except for backup, whenever she picks up her laptop she wants all her files, photos, documents everything to be immediately accessible. She does not want to hunt around for the dongle and the attached external drives to look at a picture or whatever.
No backups?
OK, fine.
I used to service computers and have seen to many people with tears in their eyes when their drive fails
and they lose all their data, pictures, etc.
Drives fail, fact of li*** oops computers.
Even SSD drives.
Wanting to keep everything on a internal drive is something I understand.
Not practicing safe computing, I don't.

My biggest requirement for a new laptop was one that had a super quiet cooling system.
Listening to a fan running always annoyed me to no end.
HP came out with a gaming laptop that they had that problem under control.
Yes they did.
It is the quietest laptop I've ever owned.
I spend hours sitting in a recliner watching TV or listening to my stereo.
Yes stereo, not home theater rig.
99% of the time it is totally silent.
BTW get 32 gig memory, 16 really isn't enough if you like to open multiple tabs running multiple browsers.
Why?
Because not all browser's work the same with different sites.
So I run multiple browser's with many open tabs.
Memory is cheap.

A large container ship passing by the Verrazzano Bridge lost power.
No biggie!
It was being escorted by three tugs.
Why wasn't the ship that knocked the bridge down not escorted by tugs like they do in NY.
