Re: Changing My Vote For Governor

Considering most (new) datacenter builds are closed-loop/air cooled - I fail to understand what all the hubbub is about.

Re: Best and worst sounding stations in the Flint/Tri Cities area

I've noticed as of late on WIOG that highs (perhaps 12k and above) sound completely squashed; especially when there's no other bands to process (such as during dry voice). Was hearing it in cymbals as well, during 'breakdowns' of songs. HF Limiting/De-esssing adjustment needed? Perhaps TX tube ...

Interesting. I'm curious how this is implemented. Is there a directory of internet only stations? Can you put in a custom URL?

Re: Tech Question about Bluetooth

ANYTHING is vulnerable...so long as you find the way in. There's security in the bluetooth handshake protocol to overcome (which is what allows one device to pair with another device). Then, you still need bluetooth to "tie into" something; in the previously mentioned example, it could be the ...

Re: Am I getting 5G interference on WDIV RF32?

Any chance you have an SDR (Software Defined Radio)? I was able to "see" interference I was receiving every so often on a (very local) TV channel, as "seen" from my rooftop antenna. I haven't necessarily solved the issue, but I could see what appears to be a dropout of signal across the entire ...

More often than not (and as of lately) those attacks come from "Forgotten" accounts in a group of users in a group allowed for VPN access. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/fortinet-hackers-retain-access-to-patched-fortigate-vpns-using-symlinks/ We traced and blackholed THOUSANDS of IP ...

Re: T-Mobile 5G Home Internet

Only issue I've heard of w/T-Mobile 5G is some corporate VPN connections fail to work, due to a double-private NATing "issue" that T-Mobile uses on their backbone for routing. Otherwise, I have several friends that claim it to be rock solid.

Re: IP addresses-is my network hacked?

Network operators change IP routes all of the time. Those Geo-reporters (that GUESS where your IP address is located) are just that - a guess. I've lived in Essexville for 20+ years; and in fact have had the same static IP address for 20+ years. One site will say I'm located in Alpena, whereas ...

Re: Broadcasting burnout

Perhaps ironically, 'Automation' was supposed to save all this Ca$h. That "savings" sure didn't get passed down to those actually grunting through their day to make that $$$. I was in the industry during a transition to automation; and while there certainly are benefits, I always felt (and could ...
