correct; acquired in 2013.

ad-skip to present day. encryption and drm is being introduced into the new atsc 3.0 broadcast standard, and some stations are already using it.

i remember getting my first one. it was an amazing time. played a lot of games back then. not so much now. i just can’t keep up with the upgrades, so i just play older ones every now and then.

a modern equivalent would be moving from an old pc with hdd to a new one with nvme ssd.

there’s a lot of stupid, ignorant assholes running small businesses all over the place that think they own their employees and can boss them 24/7. this could totally be a legit posting somewhere.

if you want me answering my phone 24/7, you’re paying me 24/7–and providing the phone you want me to answer.

my utility charges $25 a month just to be hooked up. then there’s taxes and some community bullshit fees on top of the actual electricity usage. so even though my usage has dropped quite a bit over the years, and the base rate hasn’t really gone up that much (about 10-12% total, over two decades)… my bill is still more than double what it used to be.

if it’s just a menu board on the wall behind the counter, why tf not?

half of that time is sitting in san antonio traffic.
