Yes but the Jerry's problem is that he subscribes and uses so many things and it gets very confusing.


That's true.

But if he is paying Spectrum for TV too then he should be able to use the Spectrum TV app for free.


I have a ROKU tv with all kind of Apps on it out of the box, one being Spectrum. That is what I was talking to Jerry about earlier in this post. They start you out with cheaper prices on tv and internet for about 12, or 18, or even 24 months and then they all go up at once. I found out talking to Spectrum that if you get the right person to talk to they will give you the current lower prices right then if your payment history is excellent. If you get a new guy or some other guy they will tell you that they can't do that. My Son has told them that if you want to keep me you need to lower my prices or I'm gone!

Not exactly...
One provider's pricing (as probably most) is higher for either cable or internet individually. Exch discounted for having both. In other words, if one dropped cable, internet would most likely go up.


YEP!

I dread calling Spectrum, but I'll do that later. Maybe.

Can someone explain this to me? My Spectrum bill lists Cable TV and Internet, with separate charges for each. I do not get any local stations - NBC, ABC, etc. - and I watch TV with Roku, Chromecast, or Amazon Firestick. I have the Internet available for computers and landline. So, what do you think I'm paying for? If I call Spectrum, and if they are able to give me an answer, I'll let you know.


Bless your heart Jerry. I will be waiting to see what you find out. I'm considering giving all of their stuff back. Right now I'm looking at a deal from Metronet. I can get fiber install for Internet (1 Gig) for 49.95 monthly. I'm trying to figure out all of the small print. Oh, and it comes with $200 gift card, and free eero wifi router. $178.00 is too much money to watch 6 channels out of 200 with cable, and 500 mb internet, and a Landline phone, plus all of their damn commercials every time you change a channel. Also, it is going up $30 more in early April because the Government is not renewing that program for the Internet for those that qualify for it.

I thank everyone, I found the answer last night. It is still strange, but this worked. I had to completely remove Kaspersky. I had previously turned off everything I could, but no luck. Finally found someone on web who had to uninstall it every time Windows tried to update, I hope that after reinstalling I don't have to remove it every time I need to update.

The facts:
I had Windows 11 working, upgraded from 10 two years ago. Problem appears to have started months (4) after that.
I could not update Windows 11 or Turbo Tax 2023.
Turbo Tax 2022 installed fine last year and updated fine two weeks ago, but not 2023.
I tried to install an upgrade to 11 Pro, I could install it, but not activate it.

I could download and install Win 11 Pro, Office, Turbo tax (even the updates), but none would connect for activation or updates, all said not connected to web. Neither WiFi or cable connections changed anything. All other software seemed to work fine.

After I reinstall Kaspersky, I will notify them about the issue and see what they say.

Thanks again;

By the way my wife's computer worked fine using the same software, but she has Win 10, so it may be a Win 11-Kaspersky interaction that only affects some specific way of connecting???
I thank everyone, I found the answer last night. I... (show quote)


Did you delete Kaspersky before updating or did try to just shut Kaspersky down until the upgrade was done? A lot of programs recommend that anti-virus programs should be shut down before installing new updates or new programs. I'm just curious because I use Kaspersky on older OS's like Windows 7. If I ever change Windows 7 OP's to Windows 10 or 11 I might want to keep this problem in mind, but I would probably use a new computer to use 10 or 11.

It wasn’t heading for the pillar the whole time. It only hit the pillar because it lost power and lost control.


I posted something about that earlier talking to Jerry and asked how much wind would there have to be to turn that ship and cargo into that pillar. The film I say on the news made it look like the ship turned towards the pillar at almost the last minute. STRANGE!

In many bridges have seem an structure to keep boats away from pillars.
Just huge wooden piles driven in a circle or diamond shape . You can see some like that on high tension towers near bridge.
They narrow channel , may be they are to direct current more than protect posts.
Structure will have to be analyzed, one post hit but whole bridge dissassembled in seconds


I either read an article or listened to a news program, a woman who lives there said that those guards around those pillars had been talked about earlier, but not done because funds wound up used for something else. Sounds like normal practice on a lot of things.

No, I'm not Jerry, but here is possible scenario.

Without propulsion and steering, a maneuver the crew is probably trained to use is drop anchors in an attempt to slow the vessel. That does not provide controllable steering, and it is a very inefficient braking system, but it's pretty much the only onboard option remaining.
Downside of that is, the anchors are at the bow, not the stern. So if they drag hard enough or catch on the bottom, the momentum will cause the stern to swing out in some direction to pass the bow which is being restrained, at some degree of inefficiency, by an anchor or anchors, effectively altering the direction of the vessel's course fairly quickly. Kinda like a staked-out running animal hitting the end of its chain.........only on a massively larger scale of energy at work.

The rate of that bridge dropping is more a result of support of its continuous truss being removed, and the expected progressive failure, as it is not capable of self-sustaining support without its engineered ground support.
If it was all ship speed and momentum from beginning to end of collapse, it would be expected that highway bridge would have been forced, dragged, carried, propelled, something, many many yards downstream by high speed impact, rather than doing the nearly vertical drop as the ship ended its low speed movement.

I heard some other news programs and they were talking about, some of people who were starting investigation already wondered why the anchors were never dropped

This is horrible. A container ship collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore - "Baltimore's key bridge." Not all people have been rescued from the very cold water. Those container ships are not very maneuverable.

There is a video of the collision. https://www.wbaltv.com/article/baltimore-bridge-collapse-key-bridge/60303975


Okay Jerry, tell me this. They are saying that they had a major power shutdown. I was watching the news this morning, and it was clear enough that you could see how fast the ship was going and you could see the straight direction that it was going and then just before it got to the bridge you could easily see the ship started turning to the right which made it hit that brace from the water to the bridge and there was a big splash of water as it hit and then that bridge fell and was in the water within 1 & 1/2 second. It completely fell extremely fast. Now the turning to the right just before it hit the bridge; if there was no power how much air would it take to turn that ship into that brace considering the total weight of that ship and all of that cargo. It just seems weird that that cargo ship could have been turned to the right like that to hit that bridge that quick.

In today's mail, I had a letter from the government... Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The letter began with: "You now have a new Medicare Number and your previous Medicare Number is no longer valid. Your new Medicare card is inside." It further informs me that the new card/number is effective April 2 and that I should inform my providers of the change.

I have no idea why they would replace my Medicare card and assign me a new/different number.

Has this happened to any of you UHHers?

My guess is that part of the new number is a flag to doctors and hospitals that... this old guy has cost us enough money... treat him accordingly... been nice communicating with you UHHers.

There are still some free disk utilities available, and I've been using several as I look through my HDDs. One thing I have to remember is to click on the "Commit," "Proceed," or "Begin" button after I make a choice. I'm used to clicking on what I want to do, and program runs. I began doing a Surface Test with Macrorit Partition Expert, and it wasn't going very fast. Looking at the top of the screen, I saw that it would take five days and eighteen hours to complete. 🤣 No thanks!

In addition to Macrorit, I've been using AOMI Partition Assistant and MiniTool Partition Wizard. One program is not enough because some do certain tasks better than others, and some don't so certain tasks at all. I think it was AOMI that kept asking me to upgrade when I clicked on certain features. If the features aren't available, they shouldn't be listed.

The disk I'm working on now is an HGST, 4TB. The computer says it's 16TB, and I'm having trouble making it usable. Right now, I'm doing a deep format. It shows up in utility programs, but the computer doesn't see it.

The system should work better. This is like writing on wax paper with Chapstick.
