I still say it’s the best Trek movie ever made.
- Comment on Removing Windows Recall breaks File Explorer in latest 24H2 update 2 months ago:
Preach.
What’s likely going to happen though, is a generation of school kids continue to use Chromebooks because that’s what they’ve been taught since grade one. And you know who is even more egregious in ignoring privacy than Microsoft? It’s a company whose name starts with a “G” and ends with “oogle”.
- Comment on Removing Windows Recall breaks File Explorer in latest 24H2 update 2 months ago:
Yes. But back then, the consumer protections accrually meant something, and the regulatory agencies weren’t defanged and neutered. Nowadays, giant corporations point and laugh at the fines and continue business as usual.

They will have to rebrand Paramount+ again. Again.

It’s a trap!

They probably mean comic books.

- Comment on When should I start showing someone new to Trek new shows? 11 months ago:
I’d recommend release order because there are callbacks and crossovers, cameos, etc. that tie these shows together. You could watch the in any order, but you’d get more enjoyment out of picking up all the references and easter eggs. So, TOS -> (maybe TAS) -> movies 1 through 5 -> TNG -> movie 6 -> DS9 -> VOY -> movies 7 through 9 -> ENT. Then modern stuff like DSC, SNW, PIC, Prodigy, and LD.
That said, there’s no need to watch every single episode of every show. Back on Reddit there were guides of “essential” episodes for each season of every series. Here’s one for TNG. I’m sure you could find this for other shows too.

How dare you utter His name incorrectly, pink-skin!
- Comment on Mike McMahan Calls On Fans To Help Keep ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ From Facing The Same Fate As ‘Prodigy’ 1 year ago:
First off, I want very much for Lower Decks and Prodigy to continue.
That said, I would love to see Paramount+ crash and burn to the fucking ground, taking all the execs and bean counters down with it. Same with HBO Max, or Plus, or Minus, or whatever the fuck they rebranded to this week. Let them ALL fail and be sold for pennies on the dollar so that someone with half a brain can pick up the pieces.

Still a better chance of success than an in-place upgrade of Win 10 to Win 11.

Ha! If you think that any of that money will go to actors and writers, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
- Comment on Amazon To Start Running Ads In Prime Video Series & Movies, Will Launch Ad-Free Tier For Extra Fee 1 year ago:
The Internet and streaming services are fucking lazy and just insert ads every X seconds or whatever, which can often lead to an ad being played mid fucking sentence.
That is not laziness. This is a typical dark pattern, designed that way on purpose to annoy you into paying.
Youtube (without ad blockers) is the absolute worst at this, as it seems to insert mid roll ads specifically to disrupt the video.

YMCA
- Comment on Monitor Alignment Alignment Chart 1 year ago:
I’m off the chart. I have 2 mismatched monitors - a 27" and 34", and the 34 one is an ultrawide. It’s wider than the other, but their bezels still line up.
- Comment on [HN] Skiplagging: The travel hack hated by airlines is now the subject of a lawsuit 1 year ago:
If airlines are allowed to overbook every flight and have hidden fees, I’m allowed to tell them to go fuck themselves by gaming their system.
