    Monday Night Football: Monday Night Football - Titans Bills

    not sure what channel(s) this is being carried on elsewhere; it's a local game here so one of the local stations has the feed. Two big questions for the Bills: 1) with Gabe Davis inactive, who will fill in? Looks like Shakir may get the start. 2) will the backup DTs hold up? Ed Oliver and...

    buying an ATSC 3.0 (NextGen) TV

    my old TV finally bit the dust, so I'm shopping around for a new one. I watch local NFL broadcasts - some of the channels have been problematic over the last year or so. Those stations have digital transmission towers about 20 miles away from me. Looking at antennaweb.org, I noticed that all...

    Tablet recommendations

    I have a Samsung 10" Tablet that's probably at least 5 years old. It was nice when everything worked properly, but now it's getting quirky so I'm looking for a replacement. I'll use it for basic things like Zoom sessions and watching videos. 10" has worked well for that, I wouldn't want to...

    Printing multiple HTML documents with page breaks between

    I'm doing work for a client where he prints documents that typically fit on one page. When they print one document at a time, the app just displays the HTML for the printed page in a window, and the user prints the contents of that window. We've recently made changes where they can print...

    Beethoven was born 250 years ago this month. Nobody knows for sure what day; based on a little reading the best guess is the 16th. The local PBS Classical Radio station is celebrating today, featuring him all day long. https://www.wned.org/radio/wned-classical-945/ Perhaps I'll celebrate...

    Bruce Smith on the field was often "quick on his feet"; unfortunately that doesn't always translate to being able to think quickly on your feet: Hall of Famer Bruce Smith's awful 'Family Feud' answer got the best Steve Harvey reaction Bruce was teamed up with 3 other HOF players. Since he...

    Ticket Prices

    The Bills just announced a price increase of roughly $4/seat for next season. They're still among the lowest prices in the league, being one of only three teams with an average price below $100. Just curious how that compares to what posters here pay to go to games. Here are the new prices...

    bug zappers

    figured this forum was my best shot to get an answer here ... In the summer, sometimes I use a small portable TV out on my porch in the evenings, when it's too hot to watch inside. Since it's normally hot/humid when I'm doing this, bugs can be a real nuisance. I found a few solar-powered bug...

    32" TV or Monitor?

    I have a 27" monitor that I've been using as a 2nd TV in the summer time. I live in a house that's been turned into upper/lower apartments, and when it's warm enough, I put the monitor up in the attic to get some separation from my downstairs neighbor. I have a Chromebox and just copy files...
