Okay, I know this is waaaayyyy off topic, but I just need to know if I'm losing it a little.

Came home today, turned on the TV, and had a little message that my DirecTV software/firmwear had been updated.

No problem, happens all the time.

But when my DVR started recording Gilmore Girls Terminator 2: Judgment Day, I noticed that the little LED recording light was a different color. It used to be a very light yellow/orange, and now its a dark orange/red.

WTF?!?!? Am I TiVollucinating?

It's possible. LED's can change color . I haven't heard of them changing after a firmware upgrade but hey, there's a first for everything

I can't directly answer your question, but when I did some work for a company who made equipment for streaming video, we sometimes changed LED colours in different versions of firmware. Sometimes because we wanted to indicate a different function, and sometimes just because you can instantly look at the device and know what firmware version it's running.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit taking LSD.

I love Airplane. That was a funny movie

And Surefire answered the changing LED colors question.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
