Re: Biden Speech

The lighting was poor because the venue where the speech was given was not made for TV, and evidently the planning was subpar. The speech itself was akin to kicking a hornet's nest. I'm not sure what the President felt he was accomplishing. I thought the speech was politically unwise. Shenanigans? T...

Re: Don't download Android 13!

The other thing that bugs the shit out of me regarding the 5a 5G Pixel is that it was marketed as unlocked phone that is compatible with all major cellular networks in the United States. Guess what? Can't use it with Verizon or any of Verizon's MVNOs. The IMEI number is not recognized. Supposedly, G...

Re: I've been enjoying Alt 98.7

KROQ.tunegenie.com Enter Sandman by Metallica Boom by POD Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit ...are a few examples. About 90 percent + of the song choices are the same.

Re: Don't download Android 13!

I was on 12 until "upgrading" to 13.

I turned off adaptive network connectivity late last night, and battery life seems to be back to normal now.

If your phone is more than a couple years old, it might not receive further updates.

Re: I've been enjoying Alt 98.7

I like KROQ's A to Z list better. Not a big difference between the two stations, but there are a few harder rocking songs on the KROQ list that WDZH won't play.

Re: Ripping off Tigers fans

They paid waaaaaay too much money for those RSNs. Even if 2020 didn't happen, I'd likely be saying the same thing. Bally Sports West doesn't have the rights to the Lakers or Dodgers, they have no RSN presence in Boston, no presence in Philly, no presence in New York, no presence in Houston, and no p...

Re: Big Ten talk

I think OSU will lose a game or two, U-M will lose a game or two, and both Penn State and MSU will lose two or three games. Rutgers, Maryland and Indiana will lose a lot.

Out in the West division, I'd have to give the nod to Wisconsin.

Re: FBI raiding treasonists home

Bill Barr has sent some poignant criticism Trump's way. I am inclined to agree with Mr. Barr.

Re: Don't download Android 13!

Yes, I have a Pixel 5a. Was getting intermittent notifications for close to a week to download the "stable release" of Android 13. Other Android users (Samsung, for example) should start receiving prompts to install soon if using a supported device (i.e. generally phones released within the past few...

Local and national automotive press are asleep at the wheel...again

I mentioned the staleness of, and decreased interest in, the NAIAS auto show many months before anyone in the local press dared to mention it. I (correctly) mentioned the diversion of attention to CES in Las Vegas, and a well known journalist actually posted here to dispute my assertion. The truth e...

Is DTE's ad $$$ influencing local media coverage of power outages?

Only about 5/8ths of those who lost power about 72 hours ago have seen their power restored, yet the Freep and Detroit News seemingly stopped reporting on the big number of remaining outages a day ago, and Loco 4 no longer is reporting on the situation (at least not in an easy to find manner) on its...

Re: The Blitz in Columbus fires the morning show

Blitz listeners do not like it when their station is fucked with. Remember the debacle ten or twelve years ago when the station dropped most of its currents, added a bunch of crust bucket rock, and fired its morning show in favor of Bob & Tom? That experiment lasted only a couple years fortunately.
