Got a new Sony Smart Blu-Ray player for the 52" Widescreen. No more switching to the 25' HMDI cable and sending it to the other room now. I'll use it to watch launches, Netflix, Hulu Plus and YouTube sprees and give my main rig a breather if I feel the need to watch in comfort. It gets enough of a workout as it is with schoolwork and daily use. :yes: 

 

I have other ideas for my 34" RCA flatscreen ... ;) ... I'm looking at an old HTPC that needs a refurb. Maybe throw Mint 18.1 + KODI on it and see how smart I can made that one. Little experiment.

My Uncle swears by the Firestick. He's got four(!) of them, one for each display in his house. I might pick one up and check it out.

they are cheap enough, and i have setup kodi on a few now, but the lack of a network port puts me off them for my own use. I prefer powerline adapters to get network to static devices. The fire tv 4K i have is brilliant though, but it is quite a bit more expensive.

Range conflict,  to get range clearance for stage landing at LZ-1.

What time (if there is one)?  Parents will be in Florida at that time.  Dad has expressed interest in seeing a launch.  Kennedy Space Center doesn't have anything on their website yet.

There's no time for the 18th yet, however...

 

The 14th's window was 1134 Eastern, and ISS launch windows from KSC are about 20 minutes later each day. As they get closer to T-0 they can refine it to the second.

 

4*20=80 minutes later.

So now we have a tentative window of 1254 Eastern, long as the weather is acceptable. It's been stormy and rainy in that region for the past day and a half, so hopefully that'll all clear out by then.

Okee doke. They're catching ISS on the negative slope of their orbit. That explains losing 23 minutes per day in the window. The 14th was a way better launch date.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
    • Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings some high-profile titles, including the sports title PGA TOUR 2K25 and the racing sim Assetto Corsa. Almost all the games being offered this time require an Xbox Game Pass subscription, with only one title being available for all players. Starting with the fully free-to-play section, Dead by Daylight is populating it solo. This asymmetric survival horror title should be the most familiar to most gamers, considering its age. The multiplayer four-versus-one asymmetric survival horror game has you assuming the roles of survivors or the killer to see who can come out on top. This Dead by Daylight offer will be available to play until Monday, June 22, giving you an extra day of play compared to the remainder of the Free Play Days titles. Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the well-received tycoon game Two Point Museum, the circuit racing sim Assetto Corsa, as well as 2K's golf sim experience that gives players a career to develop alongside real-world pros and courses. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: PGA TOUR 2K25 (Xbox Series X|S) Two Point Museum (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) Dead by Daylight (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. All the games from the Free Play Days collection will show up in this section for quick access. Apart from Dead by Daylight's offer, this week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 21, at 11:59 pm PT.
