Rob Pegoraro<p>I filed my last copy for this week at 10 p.m. Friday, and then it was a delight to have Saturday be my first legit work-free day since… um, Jan. 1.</p><p><a href="https://robpegoraro.com/?attachment_id=22372" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a>1/16/2024: <a href="https://www.pcmag.com/news/dont-engage-pig-butchering-scams-start-with-a-text-end-in-financial-ruin" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Don’t Engage: ‘Pig Butchering’ Scams Start With a Text, End in Financial Ruin</a>, PCMag</p><p>One reason I couldn’t unplug from work last Sunday: I had to watch my friend Sean Gallagher’s very good walkthrough of pig-butchering scams at the <a href="https://shmoocon.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">ShmooCon information-security conference</a> in D.C.

Rob Pegoraro<p><a href="https://journa.host/tags/NextGenTV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NextGenTV</span></a>--aka "ATSC 3.0"--has some intriguing potential and already delivers notable upgrades over the ATSC 1.0 digital-broadcast standard we've had for 25+ years. But hardware support remains inconsistent, stations encrypting their broadcasts can complicate using add-on-tuners, and the retail presentation of NextGen-compatible TVs is often left as an exercise to the shopper. <a href="https://www.pcmag.com/news/nextgen-tv-airwave-upgrade-flies-under-the-radar-at-ces" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">pcmag.com/news/nextgen-tv-airw</span><span class="invisible">ave-upgrade-flies-under-the-radar-at-ces</span></a></p>

Rob Pegoraro<p>I’m not watching the same Fox Super Bowl pregame as most of you—instead, I’ve tuned into the <a href="https://journa.host/tags/NextGenTV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NextGenTV</span></a> (aka ATSC 3.0) over-the-air signal of D.C.’s WTTG using a ZapperBox M1 tuner. One notable upgrade from this station’s regular (ATSC 1.0) digital broadcast: The 3.0 version is in 1080p resolution, up from 720p on the 1.0 signal.</p>
