  • I thought he was a US Senator representing New York State. Is New York so expensive he needed a second job?

  • However, Epic Game Store only actually exists on Windows, and it’s on iOS in the EU.

    Your information seems to be outdated. On the EGS download page I get an "Install on Windows" link with text below it "Also available on Mac OS, Android, iPhone (EU only) and iPad (EU only)."

  • $24.95/yr seems high. Are you looking at a specialty TLD? I paid around 10 USD/yr for a .com with Cloudflare, and 12 CAD/yr for a .ca with Canspace.

  • Perhaps it should have been wide adoption that led to a boom, instead of a boom in hope of adoption?

  • Trump has invited the leaders of 60 nations to join the Board of Peace with the stipulation that each contribute $1 billion dollars.

    It's not "Join the Board of Peace or get tariffs", it's "Give me a billion dollars or get tariffs"

  • Also wholly unhinged. The hinges are just gone.

  • Nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize need to be submitted by January 31, and peace-related accomplishments after that probably aren't factored into the decision-making process. So most of what Trump has done since he got back in office didn't even count for last year's award, and his new threats will count for this year's. If he understood how the award actually worked he might realize how badly he's messed up.

  • They started filming the season 2 finale this week. I think if she wasn't going to be in season 2 we'd have heard something by now.

  • The away team braclets are programmed for at least a couple of different modes, and switching is pretty quick. I would think if they could use programmable matter to make a multi-mode tricoder, it would be standard.

    At any rate, I assume they can't program matter into dilithium, because that would have made recovering from the Burn a whole lot easier.

  • Re: limits of programmable matter:

    On Discovery away teams wore programmable matter flashlight bracelets that could turn into a phaser, and I think even a phase rifle, but from these last couple of episodes it seems they can't make a tricorder that turn into a medical tricorder.

  • If the Supreme Court is going to rule against him in the tariff case, they may want to delay a little longer to update the ruling to cover this bullshit too.

  • The Doctor mentions he put an aging program 5 centuries before to put organics at ease, which is obviously the Watsonian explanation for why Robert Picardo looks older.

    That should also establish that he's not the Doctor backup from VOY: "Living Witness", who wouldn't have been online 500 years ago.

  • When Is Starfleet Academy Set?

    Although the show is somewhat vague about it, Starfleet Academy is set in the late 32nd century—approximately around the year 3190, a similar timeframe to when Star Trek: Discovery‘s fourth season takes place, which had previously mentioned the reopening of the institute to a new class of cadets in its premiere. The show is, at the very least, set some time after the events of Discovery‘s third season, which saw United Earth rejoin the Federation after a century of independence, as Starfleet Academy itself—based out of the starship USS Athena—spends much of its time docked at the Academy’s ancestral home near the Presidio in San Francisco.

    I thought it was obvious that the show is set after Discovery? In the fourth season the Academy reopened on the station/ship where headquarters was; Earth agreed to rejoin the Federation at the end of the fourth season (not the third), and it would have taken time to finalize Earth's re-entry and then more time to reach a point where Starfleet Academy would move back.

    Taking place almost a thousand years after what we would typically consider “contemporary” Star Trek in the late 23rd century period occupied by the likes of The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager

    Those shows were all set in the 24th century. I really don't trust the accuracy of this article.

  • Being a fascist is a choice. Being LGBTQ is not.

  • They design graphics chips; they don't manufacture them. Nvidia designing memory wouldn't help with the RAM shortage when all the manufacturers are already running at capacity.

  • It's too hard to tell real CSAM from AI-generated CSAM. Safest to treat it all as CSAM.

  • Reason #42 for open platforms: to shut down every politician’s incessant demands to all gatekeepers to censor all of their political opponents," Sweeney wrote in a first tweet responding to MacRumors' report of US politicians requesting that Apple and Google remove X and Grok from their app stores.

    Politicians want the offending apps removed from the app stores, and Sweeney thinks app store business is his business. He really ought to worry more about improving his own store.
