Comment Let's Encrypt issue on Playstation browser (Score 1) 94

I got this warning from Google about my site. A couple years ago, I got https working using Let's Encrypt. So, you'd think I could switch over 100% to https as Google is pushing me to do. But, what I've found is that there are a few odd browser/devices that don't work. A notable one is the PS3/4 web browser (my site is video-game related, so this is not entirely rare). Sony hasn't updated their root certs to include the one used by Let's Encrypt. So, my https does not work on a PS3 or PS4. Thus, I'd prefer to keep the site indexed with the http version, despite Google's pressure. I do have links up for the secure site and have tried to motivate people to switch (even use HSTS to make the switch sticky). About 28% of my signed-on users still use http. It's their choice.

Comment Russia didn't exactly lose the race to the moon (Score 2) 108

Russia's Luna 2 probe got to the moon first in 1959. Luna 3 (also 1959) was the first to photograph the far side of the moon. Luna 9 soft landed on the moon and sent the first pictures from the surface back in 1966. Yes, the Apollo program put a man on the moon first (1968), but I think Russia deserves credit for many previous firsts (beyond Sputnik and Gagarin).

Actually, TiVos get disrupted by EBS signals. Honestly, it's super annoying! It seems that if any channel runs a EBS test, the Tivo responds by kicking you out of whatever you're watching and showing a large banner across the screen for a few minutes. There's no way to stop it or make it go back to playing your recording until it's done. Usually, it happens during the middle of the day. But, this is when I'm on my treadmill watching TiVo shows, so I get annoyed by this about once a month.

I still think you make a good point otherwise, but TiVos do try to play along (maybe they are required by law?).
