Still wishing we had used SCART in the US in the 80s. So much simpler than the rca/svideo/coaxial nest of wires.

Look at you, single handily trying to bring back the thorn character.
- Comment on YouTube tops Disney and Netflix in TV viewing 1 week ago:
Interesting chart. Note that this is eyeballs, not profits or subscriber numbers. YouTube is free. All of the other services are paid, even with ads.
I’m wondering where other free services are in this list. It’s missing Tubi and Pluto.
Also there’s no WBD channel. It should be listing out HBO/Max. And where is Hulu on this list?

“Mom” isn’t doing this unless she’s uber rich. Someone is bankrolling her to try to set precedent.

Wasn’t Matter or a similar organization developing an open standard for this sort of thing?
- Comment on Boldly Going Documentary: "a groundbreaking documentary that chronicles Bruce Horak's inspiring journey as the first blind actor to play a blind character in the Star Trek franchise" 2 weeks ago:
So inspiring that they wrote him off the show! I’m still pissed about it. He was my favorite character on SNW.

Good way for Apple to say “Don’t come crying to us for a refund.”
- Comment on Interview: Tawny Newsome On Finding The Sweet Spot For Her Star Trek Workplace Comedy 3 weeks ago:
Don’t care. Like star trek, but this sounds like an awful idea and a flop that will just dilute the brand even further. The live version of her character and Quaid’s was great. I wish they would land back on SNW or something.

We don’t really need a “Star Trek Workplace Comedy” do we?

Sounds like an expensive point of failure.
- Comment on Google shares slump as Apple exec calls AI the new search 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think AI is the new search. I think people are just dumping Google because its search results are so poor these days.
- Comment on The Mobile Browsers That Stick Their Noses Into Your Business 4 weeks ago:
Setting Microsoft Edge rate the same as DuckDuckGo on this chart makes me doubt the quality of this study.

Dude could have just let Facebook be Facebook and been successful. Instead he has all these weird, unnecessary ideas about how to manipulate people.

Now do Xbox and PS5 stores.
- Comment on I cooked some food cubes. 5 weeks ago:
Still waiting for these to make an appearance on SNW. I’m hoping it’s some “efficiency upgrade” installed by Starfleet that the crew ends up hating.
- Comment on When you count, your lips don't touch until 1 million. 5 weeks ago:
That’s what I thought too, but if you google it, w sound is classified as “open mouth” sound by the experts. To me it feels like lips vibrating as sound and breath come through (lips open/close/open as they vibrate).
- Comment on Future apocalypse movies won't have survivors scavaging abandoned cars. 5 weeks ago:
Electric vehicles can charge from a standard outlet. I would imagine if you gather enough of those panels that actually plug into a standard outlet, you could charge a car (though slowly). Your average EV can put on about 10 miles to its “tank” every hour of charging at 120 volts.
The alternative would be if the protagonist found a home with solar panels and backup batteries. These exist today, and are becoming more common.

Clever use of the technology. I wonder if any other businesses are looking into this?
- Comment on Future apocalypse movies won't have survivors scavaging abandoned cars. 5 weeks ago:
I think modern apocalypse movies should show someone grabbing solar panels off apartment balconies to recharge an abandoned electric car.
- Comment on YouTube says goodbye to decade-old video player UI, but users hate the new design 5 weeks ago:
That’s *always* the case.Maybe there’s a reason for that. The word “enshitification” doesn’t exist in a void.
