  Fwiw, the Infinity Book Pro 14 in the review is also from Clevo. The author does praise Tuxedo’s tight integration of their flavour of Linux to the HW, so perhaps this is ahead of S76. No dog in this fight as I’m both companies, I like PopOS but have never bought a laptop from either

  I like Vivaldi but all the manifest V3 stuff just pushed me to Librewolf for everything whether it works or not, so maybe I should “thank” Google

  Loved this episode, weirdly my favourite aspect was seeing all the “Other Deck” characters again: Delta shift, Westlake, Barnes, Bingston, Meredith, Stevens and the cadet who needed help studying.

  Stevens in particular showed his worth as an organised and thoughtful adjutant to the Captain, was great to see him show his worth as something other than Ransom’s biggest fan or just the butt of jokes.

  Heartfelt usually but not always equals The Tendi Effect on LD to me hah. I agree about the subplot being weak - both for Mariner and also Boimler/Rutherford which was pretty much a slapstick sketch.

  I would’ve liked to see something like Boims struggling to think of a first book to take to T’Ana’s book club, with Ruthie enthusiastically but haplessly trying to suggest things (usually engineering related)

  Loved seeing more of the Cetacean Ops crew, plus those ENT unis

  The Visitor will always be one of the most beautiful Trek episodes to me, RIP good sir 🫡

  Really nice article of what she did to improve the representation and perception of women on Star Trek, also weird but cool that she worked on Quincy ME previously: womenatwarp.com/jeri-taylor-woman-in-the-writers-…

  Thanks for your service and safe journey amongst the stars, Jeri 🫡

  Good innings, Maggie, fly high. 🫡 Think I first saw her in Hook as a child
