    Title II is Not the Net Neutrality You’re Looking For

    The end is nigh for net neutrality as it exists today. Trump-appointed FCC chief Ajit Pai put forth a plan last week that promises to roll back Obama’s net neutrality policies. All that’s left is for the five FCC commissioners to vote in December, making the rollback a virtual certainty. But...

    Star Drek:Discovery

    Consider yourself luckly that you're not a Trekkie bc I have a love hate (mostly hate) view of STD as a result of their non adherence to canon despite claiming otherwise, the lack of synergy between the characters, the lack of hope ALL prior Star Trek has portrayed, and.... the money grab by CBS...

    Star Drek:Discovery

    You really should give DS9 a shot. IMO, it represents the very best of Star Trek. It had incredible character development, great action / space battles, and intricate story arcs that build right till the very end. And yes you're right, sadly The Orville has more in common with Star Trek than STD.

    Star Drek:Discovery

The klingon remake are absolutely horrible in costume, makeup and ship design. They are a boring, lifeless race as a result which is far from what they were...

    Audyssey Reference curve and controlled directivity speakers?

    I concur with TLS Guy. Turn that 2kHz dip off if you're gonna use Audyssey at all. Also, if you have a recent Denon/Marantz, it's best to use the Audyssey editor app and limit the EQ correction to under 5kHz, preferably around 500Hz, around the room transition frequency where the speaker...
