I completely forgot about the Kelvin Klingons.

I had to Google it. They're not bad. I think there's some fun to be had with the idea of their weird virus that messed with their ridges.

Like disco Klingons are the original pre-virus Klingon, ToS and Kelvin are some of the variants we get during the virus, and TNG is the Post virus

Shit they weren't merged?

I could have sworn this already happened

That was a tech demo I'm pretty sure and not just a thing they do btw. A company was trying to make a more efficient sound based comms for AI(?)

Did they have bribery in the form of mobile Fast Food trucks?

Probably not, but everything else checks out.

I'm only disappointed I won't get to read the history books 300 years from now when they cite twitter posts and AI generated videos.

It needs way more gawdy neon color palettes.

I swear half these people with blogs pick the most aggressive bright pink and greens when building their websites from scratch for the first time and then just stick with it!

Well there's all the problems then

Asking a AAA studio to make their game sub 128 GB AND optimize it in anyway is a tall ask

[–] nagaram@startrek.website 2 points 2 months ago (5 children)

Do they even make disks with enough space for a modern game? Secondly, would a spinning disk be fast enough for it?

I feel like the only way for truly physical media in the AAA space to be a thing again is if people are willing to pay an extra $60+ for an external SSD that holds the game.

What's happening in Ukraine sucks

That doesn't contradict the sentiment that borders are generally arbitrary lines designed to divide us.

Using a Russian sure to get free books doesn't hurt Ukraine unless these are all like infected with Russian turbo malware or something

The biggest perk for me for a dedicated NAS is redundancy and hot swap ability.

It is inevitable that a few of your spinning disks will die and need to be replaced, a proper dedicated NAS box will let you pop out and swap that drive and then the NAS software will rebuild the array for you with no data loss.

Obviously you can do most all of this with a normal desktop, but it's generally easier with the right hardware.

I custom built mine running Truenas which was way cheaper then a dedicated NAS, but also I'm an IT turbo nerd so I wanted to do the whole thing myself.

Were they not supposed to be funny normally?

Are we not all on the brink?
