Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried it and it did not work, but it was worth a try! Cheers!

Everyone has said stuff like this but there has been zero proof of TVs connecting to wifi like this on their own. If you have that proof please share it.

I have a 5 year old samsung 4k with a samsung sound bar. ARC does not work reliably. It did but just stops working. I have to power cycle the TV. Change HDMI cables etc. All the normal I am an engineer, made check list, swapped parts in con

Having owned both MB and Porsche I can say I would pay for having an Apple driven, configurable dial set. That being said, the trend to replace buttons that you can feel and learn and access without thinking (looking at you Tesla) I hope th

All of this is voodoo. I just moved and the airline that services the main airport is not one I normally fly with. Okay, good airline, lets apply for their credit card to get miles, status, etc. Fill out the application online. Expect answe

A "boomer" is slag for a nuclear missile submarine. Hypersonic missiles do not change the logic behind MAD which is "you can launch a first strike, but we can still respond with enough damage that it makes doing so untena

The US pretty much knows the location of the Russian missiles subs most of the the time. It would be a bit crazy to gamble on being sure the one you launch from was the one that was missed. Also most of the Russian boomer fleet is in dock m

US boomers have enough firepower to wipe out everyone in Russia without the need for other weapons. That is the point. There is no 70%, it is 99.999%. At the end of the cold war a Soviet naval admiral said they had managed to track a US boo

A well set trip in my case as helped me personally where nothing else did. It had the same effect on friends that suffered from the same issue. Also I will share that I have a sibling that suffers from depression. At one point we said okay

I have a friend that is a therapist in CA that has been part of a Ketamine trial. The feedback was it can be remarkably successful. One of the "features" of this type of therapy is it something that happens as needed vs the daily

Used to have the multi monitor setup but switched to a single LG (apple) 27" 5K. Could not be happier. Right size that does not require me to move my head and crisp text. I agree 100% that PPI is king here.

I have a whole house of this stuff. We are talking 100s of plugs, lights, sensors, etc. I picked them because they have been around forever - like 30+ years (started with the X10 stuff) so I hoped they where a safe bet. One day everything s

What is old is new again. IBM mainframes had a concept called a "channel controller". Everything connected to the mainframe basically was a computer itself that offloaded the main system. Every DASD (disk), communication link was

It is a careful balance. At my last startup we knew we had scale technical debt in our SW. Not something we could fix by tossing HW at the issue. It was all great until we landed that major customer that blew past our supported scale. 6 mon

Not sure your point here. The submission title is based on the interest of someone that is well known for writing from a conservative point of view but changed his established view point based on other factors. It was not clear to me if mos

He was conservative old school style. The kind where you could disagree without abject hate. Not this Trump s@&$: show. I read his books as a young adult and there was a ton that rang true...and also damn funny.

I am sorry, but are we so jaded that we really believe that the Illuminati are controlling things based on the will of the military industry? If this is really the state of mind of most people, I would like to nope the f&*% out of here

It has been my experience and my expectation that Sr. roles in engineering have a grasp of the business and the impact of what they deliver has on it. Jumping roles at a certain level at the likes of a FAANG 100% require that you have creat
