I’d rather they just do a cameo. Doesn’t matter which Trek show, but have the away team walk by a TARDIS. That’s all you need to do to show that the crossover could happen, but get people talking about it, and most will soon realise why it shouldn’t.

There is no justification for lethal force for stealing diapers. The lost profit is a rounding error for the store. Not even that, their prices actually account for some shoplifting. Prices don’t go down when they catch a shoplifter, they’re just double-dipping.

Black shouldn’t matter; it’s a sorry state of affairs that this is a problem in {current_year}.

I self-hosted Plex and Jellyfin on Windows. It’s fine. But as others have said, Windows machines tend to be too power-hungry. Honestly I think that’s more a symptom of x86-64. Changing the OS from Windows to Linux does not magically change the power needs of the hardware. (However, Linux tends to demand less of the hardware, especially if there’s no GUI.)

I now self-host Plex on a Mac mini (M2 Pro, 16GB RAM/512GB SSD). M2 Pro in Intel speak is like i5 as in, it’s the “next one up” and “good enough for most people” but not the low entry into the platform (M# base or i3), though I’d say M4/M5 base is better than M2 Pro. Just like going 2-3 generations newer, the i3 gets closer to and may surpass an older i5.

There’s a reason self-hosters prefer Linux, but I’d think it would be more about the hardware than the software. Windows is problematic because you’re opening ports and Windows is a target due to its massive market share. Mac is kinda (/sorta /not really) UNIX based, and Linux is, well, it’s Linux; neither is bulletproof, but both are better than Windows because they’re not really being targeted. That said, the MacBook Neo and Mac Mini going for $500 if you’re a student, $600 otherwise is getting a lot of people sick of Microslop’s BS to switch, and the Neo in particular is forcing the PC market to get competitive as macOS market share is rising — this also makes it more of a target. You’re always at some risk online and a little common sense goes a long way.

I don’t see how the car park revenue is irrelevant. But, we’ll table that — neither of us are winning anyone over given the context the OP framed this shit in. Call it “agree to disagree.”

You’re 100% right about the maintenance of the panels, though. I feel like there’s probably an easy way to do it, like have an access ramp and a way to get a golf cart up there. But, it’s a stretch and you made a good point, so that point goes to you.

Side note: Anyone know why indented lists drop the first letter? I’m not seeing the “Y” that should be at the start of those bulleted items, or the bullets, dashes, or numbers. (I still knew what you meant. I’m bitching about the tech that runs this site.)

Okay. How so?

I get there’s an up-front cost of building more stuff. You have the solar panels in both pictures, but the one on the left has a car park as well. I also said they can lease/rent out the spaces. Which means it’s less expensive over time as those costs pay for themselves.

I think they’re saying the picture is wrong. Assuming you have the same amount of space, placing solar panels on the ground, or paving the ground and putting the solar panels on the roof of a car park, assuming also the same number of solar panels, it should generate about the same amount of energy. What do the solar panels care if they’re a few meters off the ground? Plus, the car park can lease or rent its spots and generate revenue that way as well.

That was specifically stated for the Steam Controller, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they extended it to others.

Some gamers have really deep pockets, but most of us don’t.

Guarantee it’s scalpers.

And people will pay them $1200, $1500 or more. Crazy, eh? I would not expect scalpers to jump on the more expensive one that fast, but they must know something we don’t.

Let’s try to waste their money and not pay them anything?

Basically the new SAO (or the new-new .hack if I’m being a smartass, it’s early, I haven’t decided). But really though, Demon’s Crest is a light novel series by Reki Kawahara, the guy who wrote Sword Art Online (and Accel World).

Worth noting, Accel World was canceled after one season, but Kawahara-san never stopped writing the books. So if you care about Accel World but you’ve only seen the anime, the story is way beyond that. I don’t care about Accel World, but I know a lot of people do, so, there it is.

Demon’s Crest has a plot similar to SAO. Guy playing a VR MMO RPG has to save a pretty girl. Wikipedia emphasises she’s the most beautiful girl in the class… right after saying they’re in elementary school. So that’s a bit weird. You can write a good story with elementary school kids (see, The Promised Neverland… damn shame we never got more seasons), you can write a good story with romantic elements, but you can’t do both. It just does not compute for anyone who’s actually known elementary school students.

Still… I like SAO. I’ve seen all four seasons and two of the movies. I don’t really care about Progressive, which the last two movies are based on. I’ll watch the third one eventually. I’ve read like 12-14 of the books. I’m basically through season 3. The season 4 stuff, the War of Underworld, is next for me to read, but I’m taking a break after bingeing like six of the books (however many make up season 3).

Yes but more like Fallout Shelter (which is like FTL but from the side).

I get why you went to FTL, because it’s in space and you’re on a ship. Maybe Fallout Shelter was inspired by FTL?

But nah, this is more like Fallout Shelter in space, maybe with some elements of FTL because rather than having a base where characters are added and must go out for resources, the base moves and can’t really get new characters (or maybe it can, Neelix, Seven, and Kes came from the Delta Quadrant, so ostensibly they could get more) but still sends people out on missions.

Because the point was the moral question.
