Manual mode is so much fun! I the Thrustmaster T1600M that came with rudder pedals and a throttle, and i broke this plastic ring in the flight stick that keeps it from completely turning around when you twist it. I should have just used the rudder pedals but they kept slipping out from under me, and its hard enough to play that game in VR as it is lol.

I broke my joystick dogfighting in VR lol, no E:D for me for a while. Combat in that is NUTS if you turn off your mobility assists.

Somewhat unrelated, but the actors have done other voiceover stuff too and most of it is really fun! If anyone plays Elite: Dangerous you can replace the ship computer voice with Brent Spiner! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNI5PM6tr4M

The Doctor, voiced by Robert Picardo, brings his signature charm and encyclopedic knowledge to your drive with analytic ease and wit to help you navigate everything from traffic hazards to the final frontier of your daily commute.

That sounds fairly concrete to me tbh

Surely Janeway could have found a way to do the right thing and get two Tuvoks out of the deal. Could name the second one Twovok!

The writer and Brent Spiner said recently that Data didn’t really die, fwiw.

It’s all fun and games until you have to spend 3 actual days ripping 50 blu-ray disks to your media server.

i haven’t seen academy yet, have they explained how the Jem’Hadar were able to breed? In DS9 they were grown synthetically by the Changelings afaik.

this is so cursed

can’t wait to tuvix the entire crew lower decks style!

at least you/arent/using\ linux

thanks, I hate it lol

There’s a word for that but I can’t remember. Like saying ATM machine.

strange new worlds has some legitimately good trek. i wish they’d experiment less given there are so few episodes per year but overall it’s excellent. you still get your adventure of the week while having a few loose continuing threads (and the major thread of Pike’s inevitable end. spoiler alert?)

This question comes up a lot, and I always respond with Carbon Creek. Is it the best Trek? Hell no. But what it is is a story that requires no knowledge of Trek. Anything relevant to a new viewer is brought up by Tucker or Archer at the dinner table. And it does introduce a new viewer to some key lore about the history of humanity relative to this wider universe, as well as what a wide reach the Vulkan’s had in developing the alpha and beta quadrants.

The microcomputers (raspberry pi, arduino, whatever) could have a modern network interface and relay the communication to the embedded devices over oldschool serial. But yeah, straight DNS wouldn’t work. I like the idea though, gonna start posting my 10 favorite IP addresses on a piece of paper on the fridge. Who needs excel!

Oh, now that you mention it I’ve never tried to map a static DNS entry to a device without DNS. Welp, time to get thousands of raspberry pi’s to act as IP KVMs!

On my home network I make sure that my PDs are the same as my VLAN IDs so that I can at least know where a device is based on its IP. If I was smart I would also line them up with the IPv4 subnets as well.

I was going to say, my friend has to maintain some fucking DOS systems because their ancient embroidery machines only want to talk to software as old as they are, over connections as old as they are.
