Hello, I would like to complain that filling out a form to complain is exactly the kind of thing that Gene Roddenberry would be against so I refuse to do it. /s

This video sums up my feelings exactly. Thanks for the recommendation. They are a lot more articulate than I was.

I think that's something that gets forgotten. Season 2 gets skipped through a lot during rewatches I know. All anyone remembers is her being racist to data.

She starts out mean to Data but she comes around by the end of the season. She is also a former lover of Kyle Riker, which could have made for a much more interesting dynamic for and with Riker if it had continued.

I agree. And its a real shame. I also remember seeing Pulaski sitting in the chair next to Picard relatively often where I think of Crusher being in the medical bay far more. That could just be my own memory though.

There's someone out there selling great aunt Beatrice's car. 2006, 77000 miles. Drove to church and the grocery store once a week.

Hang in there!

Well, if they don't want to bother, send the footage to me. I have a Blu Ray burner and will gladly accept $30 each for a burned copy.

Seriously though, it's already been mastered for Apple TV. Make a run of Blu-rays. It's free real estate.

I had a version of this in 2005 or so. 200 games was, of course, quite a stretch.

Imagine a 3 lane avoid the traffic car game (1) and the same thing with a spaceship (2) and also a man running (3).

Or breakout (1) and breakout but the paddle is at the top of the screen (2).

Mine didn't even have the calculator. :(

Anyone who has visited CNET in the last 10 years would also have downgraded it AI notwithstanding.

Well if the quality doesn't matter maybe we could at least get a VHS release. Or maybe laserdisc.

But seriously I do understand that angle. And I assume that there's a certain threshold of sales that make it worth doing especially when a lot of stores are reducing or eliminating physical media sections (except records of course).

Speaking of records I think that that is where you could pivot the bluray industry. Make a bigger package with specially tinted discs and lots of behind the scenes photos or interviews on a fold out cover. Maybe even make people get up in the middle of the movie to flip the disc over? (Ok maybe not that last one.)

TLDR: Android 15 is going to keep the Android System Webview ram-resident at pretty much all times so that when an app needs a "web popup page" it will load significantly faster.

Here is an article from Android Central detailing how the component works at relatively high level.

This is interesting and a lot of commentary says that the reason smaller films aren't released physically is that there is too much work involved to do so at is mastering the movie for bluray would be impossible for a group of talented editors, color correctionists and sound engineers.

Personally, if anyone has any insight into the bluray mastering process I would love to learn more about it.

I mean if an outfit like Vinegar Syndrome can do multiple 4k restorations of crappy B movies every year, what's stopping other production companies?

It is amazing. I love how easy it is to mount network shares with it too.

Don't forget USB On the Go protocols! shudders

This is the sort of thing that to me highlights the inherent inefficiency of proprietary software and processes.

"Oh sorry, you'll need our magic hardware in order to run this software. It simply can't happen any other way."

Turns out that wasnt true which of course it isn't.

Imagine instead of everyone could have been working together on a fully open graphics compute stack. Sure, optimize it for the hardware you sell, why not, but then it's up to the "best" product instead of the one with the magic software juice.

Send em over to Boeing, they'll get up done shockingly quickly and under budget.

I wonder if they also fell victim to the deadly credential spraying (see not having 2fa configured on a legacy machine that was somehow still running)

Ran into a similar problem with an older used machine and it ended up being a ram stick that went bad. Try booting with one ram stick and then the other (if possible).

I like the point they make which is that every social media site with profile photos and DM's will eventually turn into a dating site in some capacity. LinkedIn though shudder. I can't imagine the corporate pickup lines in a place like that....

Telephoto seems like something Google could do to really set the next Pixel Xa series apart from the competition. If they care to that is.

I also have had trouble during upgrades in the past.

I'll have to disagree about the purple and orange theme though. I'm personally a big fan.
