  Lol imagine a new product demanding this.

  Lol now imagine an incredibly shitty existing product that is already replaced by superior products and internalized software in even the cheapest tvs demanding this.

  The Amazon stream stick doesn’t even offer anything of value as it is.

  Is enshittification just extortion at this point?

  TOS ran 1966-june3rd1969, Russia first landed unmanned in 1959, and the human race through NASA and the Apollo program first landed on the moon on june 20th 1969

  Isaac Asimov was a biochemist born in 1920, started writing published sci-fi in 1939 and full on scifi novels in 1950 (seriously, this stuff was wayyyyy ahead of its time). Died in 1992.

  Gene Roddenberry was born in 1921, died in 1991.

  It’s almost as if doing this first, half a century ago, and, pardon my culturism, but probably less recklessly AND in a higher cost of living country would be substantially more expensive.

  But still, a genuine congratulations to India and everybody that worked on that project.
