Pegged my Windows 10 PC this afternoon

[Charles West]

I've been using three monitors, the main LED, and two LCDs. The LCDs are going away; they are heat generators, and my office gets hot in the summer, so then I will be down to only two, the LG LED to be used for my security cameras.

I hope that is the case. I sit in front of a flat LG 27" HDR LED monitor now and will be going to a curved 34" QD-OLED so it's going to be different.

Yeah it will be a huge upgrade. If I had the space, I'd upgrade from three 32"ers to something even bigger

I don't have room, either. The friggin' PC sits on top of my desk and takes up a lot of space. It used to sit on the carpet, but it sucked up too much dirt, carpet fibers, and animal hair, among other things.

Here is a head scratcher. My internet provider has been down for the last 36 hours due to a car accident involving a utility pole. Neither of my TVs has a video signal; the one with a Fire TV Stick won't stream at all, and the hardwired big screen only has audio, with a black screen. But my hardwired PC is streaming just fine with good video and audio playback.

So you have Internet but your wireless router isn't functioning? Are you sure that your hardwired big screen isn't using your wireless network for anything?

The router is fine, we are watching Sunday Morning on YouTube in my office. My Android phone is fine, the iPhone is fine. I have no idea why the TVs don't work.

The admin settings of your wireless router should give you the answer. Log into that and see how many internal network IP's it's serving content to. It sounds like you have a new WAN IP address and your router changed all your internal IP's. That's a freaking weird problem for sure though, good luck. One thing about it however, you're certainly not using Internet to watch anything worthwhile. Go read some John Maynard Keynes.

Ah yes, Keynes, master of the ballooning government debt rocket scientist community.

Are the tvs are controlled by the ISP?

My old mans new construction condo had TVs that were controlled by Verizon and had to go thru them for troubleshooting all the time.

He's just for priming the pump, I thought you supply siders were in favor of such deficit spending? Isn't that what the big beautiful bill is all about?
