For those who, like me, have never heard of this before:
Spectrum is a real-time chat service where each conversation has a permalink.
- wlesieutre 8y agoNot to be confused with the other Spectrum which is a real-time chat service and forum https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/ https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/ https://starcitizen.tools/Spectrum_(module) https://starcitizen.tools/Spectrum_(module)
- bovermyer 8y agoI imagine they'll rebrand it as GitHub Chat or something, then.
- bobthepanda 8y agoOr the other Spectrum, formed from the merger of Time Warner Cable and Charter.
- paulie_a 8y agoCharter spectrum predates time Warner's take over. It wasn't a merger, twc is taking over charter. Just like the time they did that with AOL.
- indigodaddy 8y agoTWC most certainly did not take over Charter. The other way around, which is also why the legacy Spectrum brand continued on. Disclaimer: Former employee of Bright House/Charter.
- paulie_a 8y agoThe same with AOL with everyone thinking the same thing. Sorry but charter is toast, it will be either a brand name and see me infrastructure, but entirely controlled by twc.
- excalibur 8y agoIncorrect. TWC is no more. Everything is Spectrum now, which has been Charter's retarded brand for quite some time, and will remain so.
- paulie_a 8y agoThe branding might be different but at the helm is what was twc. Charter spectrum or whatever they call it this week is not in control. This is a reverse merger, twc owned charter. New name, same company.
- excalibur 8y agoYou're talking about internal politics, which group of shitty telecom execs won the arm wrestling match for control of the merged shitty telecom. And you may well be right, I don't much know or care.
- egypturnash 8y agoOr the other Spectrum, the magazine of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, which has been published since 1964...
- ndarilek 8y agoOr the instant messaging transport, which is what I thought this was related to when I first saw it. :) https://spectrum.im/ https://spectrum.im/
- mattlondon 8y agoOr the 8-bit Z80-based 1980s computer that was huge outside of the US (when the US was mainly Commodore 64 focused) (1) and of Google Doodle fame (2) 1 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZX_Spectrum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZX_Spectrum 2 - https://www.google.com/doodles/st-georges-day-the-30th-anniversary-of-the-zx-spectrum https://www.google.com/doodles/st-georges-day-the-30th-anniv...
- excalibur 8y ago> Every feature of Spectrum is now free. Let's just pretend we're confused.
- LambdaComplex 8y agoI don't think that's pretending at this point
- zestyping 8y agoThank you. Is that different from how Slack conversations or Twitter conversations have permalinks, in an interesting way? What starts a new conversation?
- vkdelta 8y agosame here, by title I wondered how can spectrum, the ISP can give anything at all for free.
