62·8 months agoFits on a 3.5" floppy… interesting.
It’s an interesting story anyway, kind of fun how the early days of the internet people just decided to build stuff and that random little tool from decades ago continue to be the backbone of much of the world. Imagine if all that stuff was proprietary…
33·8 months agoThe cat physics are also outstanding. You can tell there were animators just sitting there studying how cats move for many, many hours.
7·8 months agoYeah, Stargate did it better, because kidnapped humans inhabiting the galaxy makes more sense. Solves the “everyone looks human” problem without the “we have proof of evolution here” problem.
So, the biggest tech of 2023 is a bunch of promises of things coming soon?
That’s my point though. They don’t really address how McCoy got the glasses he gave to Kirk in Star Trek II. Did he buy them? Did he just ask someone for them? Did he barter for them for services?
Same thing with alcohol, some people pull out alcohol they obtained through some back alley, black market deal. But what was traded for this black market alcohol?
Star Trek was pretty inconsistent with money. Riker often gambled for money, and they certainly treated specific items as “valuable” (historical items, weapons, and especially liquor.)
I think some of the writers just didn’t know how to picture a post-money world. But by DS9 they mostly treated things like latinum an inter-species trading valuable (especially to/from the Ferengi) or just something that’s needed in the outskirts of the Federation.
3·1 year agoLegally, if I ask if you're a cop, you have to answer truthfully.
I feel like every Worf episode was them trying to remind you that he's supposed to be a bad ass, even though he gets his ass handed to him every other episode to show how much more bad ass the enemy of the week is.
You can tell qBittorrent to only use the VPN, and it kills any connection not using that tunnel.
I tested it with legal Linux isos and killed my VPN connection, and everything just stops.
So both the VPN service itself, and qBittorrent can be configured independently to protect you. Belt and suspenders.
Literally the one thing that Jellico did right.
Not only does is it rear wheel drive only, but it also has about 10% less range than the AWD option. There's a reason it's significantly cheaper.
1·1 year agoYeah, I want all of them to succeed. They’re all innovating in their own ways. Cheaper access to space hopefully means cheaper access to space based resources and eventually manufacturing in space.
Maybe we can get all the dirty industry off planet someday.
Really hoping Rocket Lab eventually catches up with, and passes SpaceX. Could use some more competition in reusable launchers. Who knows if Blue Origin ever gets more than a carnival ride off the ground.
Stoke Space might also be a dark horse coming for the reusable market. They’ve got a long way to go, but it’s a very unique and interesting design they’ve got.
3·1 year agoIt was a very old, unpatched Plex server running on hardware that had access to LastPass critical data.
If you ran very old FOSS with unpatched vulnerabilities, you’d have the same problem. It wasn’t Plex that did it, it was unmaintained self-hosting.
Plex has it’s problems, but this wasn’t one of them.
Engagement and creation of worthwhile content. Memes are fine, but it’s junk food. The more meaty content that creates engagement and discussion, the better.
Controversy also creates discussion, but drives out quality.
Post news from quality sources, educational content, breaking stories, and ESPECIALLY good, fun, discussion and content around hobbies.
I think they meant to rotate through different pictures, not to physically walk up and rotate the ipad every few hours.
Which is kind of the point of a digital picture frame, cause… why use an electronic device to display a single static picture. Just go to a store and get your picture professionally printed if you only want one.
