2nd gen FireTV
2nd Gen FireTV: https://www.amazon.com/Certifi...
It has more horse power than the 3rd gen. Ethernet, wifi, SD card slot, and a USB port (which can support a 3rd party USB infrared + MCE remote). On top of that, it allows you to easily sideload 3rd party android apps, either by ADB or using the downloader app in their app store.
The Amazon app store has Netflix, Hulu, amazon Prime Video, and many other streaming video providers.
Unfortunately Amazon doesn't appear to manufacture them anymore, but they still sell certified refurbished ones.
(The newer FireTV 3rd gen is similar, but has 2/3 the processing power, no built-in ethernet, no SD card slot, and only supports an Amazon branded external Ethernet adapter in the USB slot, nothing else. It is a little cheaper,though.) -
Re:BummerConsidering Beats are pretty much junk when it comes to headphone fidelity....
Can someone recommend to me, some high end bluetooth (wireless) over hear headphones...preferrably with noise canceling tech?
I've just started researching and have found these candidates....
Sony Noise Cancelling Headphones WH1000XM2
Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wireless
Sennheiser HD1 Wireless Headphones with Active Noise Cancellation
Bowers & Wilkins PX Active Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones
Is anyone familiar with these? Recommendations from this list or other suggestions?
Also, while I'm researching the specs (freq response, etc)....it find it is a drag to not really be able to often find a local place with the cans so you can try them on for fit, comfort and sound....
Anyway, I have some good Qbuds, in ear phones for biking and outdoors (or gym) for when I also want to hear ambient sound (like cars behind you)....but I was on a flight recently and I thought it would be nice in that environment to have good high end wireless headphones with noise cancellation...but don't want Beats or Bose I saw lots of kids wearing....
While of course, I'd rather not spend a ton of $$ and a good deal suggestion is welcome that has high fidelity...I"m not opposed to spending good money for good sound reproduction.
Thanks in advance!!

Re:"new" languages? pfffft...
Python is from 1989, Ruby 1995.
if someone wants to learn a new language there are others like Rust, Go....though those might just be fads
I'm trying both those. While Golang is pretty easy, Rust is hurting my brain. The first few demo programs in Programming Rust leave (for me) a lot of questions. Those demos also have a high "punctuation character to alphabetical character" ratio. Or perhaps it's a low "alpha to punctuation" ratio. Admittedly that isn't a standard measurement and I'd never noticed it before, but man, there's a butt-load of colons in there.

A Mathematician Reads the Newspaper
https://www.amazon.com/Mathema...
I gave this book to a young friend when he first left for college. It's a good read and a good teaching aid for critical thinking, especially when it comes to the media. Since it's math-based it's easier to see how "facts" can be presented in a way that distort the "truth".
Another book I've said would be a great one for high school seniors would be "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter". I found it an enjoyable book that weaved fact and fiction. For students, it might be easy to separate some the extremes as fact ( Lincoln becomes president ) from fiction ( vampires living for centuries ) but there's a lots of other parts that would take knowledge or research. The book was not intended to deceive, so it could be an enjoyable project for students to analyze. It would also be less political than using a news story to learn to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Re:Explanation can't be real because ...
One is an internet service, one is not.
Woosh... you utterly missed the point... but lets play along for a minute and ignore the fact I said "Remember, the rules only covered internet traffic".
Sorry, but I have Comcast, and their video services are broadcast on the same old channels that the analog TV signals were carried on.
I'm aware... in fact, I've got 'building DTV systems' on my resume from 2003-2007 so I am very aware of how their systems work, so much so that when a Comcast tech comes to my house (every 2 months for the last couple of years) I can provided more detailed signal monitoring logs than they have.
I've got ATSC tuners on that cable and they can still pull off the few unencrypted channels there, while showing me the existence all of the encrypted ones. I can't watch them, but I can get the channel and stream numbers and names for them all. My Homerun devices can even tell me the frequencies for the channels.
And? I've a couple of HDHomeRun's as well.. one in the next room with a CableCARD, the other out of state plugged into an antenna and a Raspberry Pi... do you have a point yet?
But in any case, what you've just said means that Comcast does not sum up your bandwidth on their private network that you pay for in one lump on your cable TV bill, but does sum up the bandwidth that goes across the public internet and through their border gateways where it costs them money to expand.
Serious question... which do you think costs more to maintain/expand: all of the wiring to/from houses & the head end and their private network... or from their private network to the different backbones? The answer may disturb you. Doubly so when you consider how much/little of their private network is physically private vs hosted on a public cloud service which is locked down via private routes.
I'm not surprised at that, and find little reason to be excited either way. They can't charge or cap your TV service -- they can tell what you are watching through the STB backchannel (but not for a DTA that has none) and the data is there 24/7 whether you watch it or not.
Which is where the 'woosh' comes in of you completely missing the point. Yes, when I sit down on my X1 set top box or a other QAM capable receiver (ideally with a CableCARD)... there are a multitude of channels to be had... which are broadcast to all on the network, regardless of the potential receivers ability to decode the channel, or even if they are tuned to the channel or not. If my neighbor happens to tune to the local ABC eight and a half minutes into the program I am watching... there is no additional load on the system. If 10,000 people suddenly switch channels... ditto.
That isn't the problem.
Recall I said "you binge watching something via the X1 platform and your Comcast provided set top box doesn't". Again, specifically calling out their X1 platform... but this actually goes back older. When you opt to watch some VOD program... the DOCSIS part of the box kicks in. Lets imagine you and your neighbor sit down to watch the same VOD program at the same time in different houses, there is a doubling of cost upon the network. Don't believe me? Imagine your neighbor has an overactive bladder... so they pause frequently to take care of business... do you think the box would cache everything that was also simultaneously (in some's mind) being sent to you? Nope, the latest gen of X1 boxes don't even have a hard drive inside, instead streaming even DVR recordings from the 'private' cloud via DOCSIS.
If Aereo still existed... the DVR side of things might be an issue, but lets just skip it for a moment.
Excuse me? Shall I show you my cable bill and the list of channels I a
