Blue_Morpho,

Low end Intel like Gracemount N200 are lower power and higher performance than Raspberry Pi.

Even an old JasperLake is like 24 watts max to Pi5’s 27 watts.

Yes but nowadays you’d buy a USB version since few phones have headphone jacks. They’re on Amazon.

Here’s an old style headphone jack ir blaster adapter:

Audio jack ir blaster adapters for phones used to be common. You can still buy them on eBay.

Audio is voltage changes which can be set to drive an ir led. You use an app that outputs audio that matches the ir signal protocol.

Blue_Morpho,

If it actually was easier, I wouldn’t complain. But in most cases, the new settings make it harder to find and change settings.

No, the last version of my that was vulnerable was 3.5.1 2000 was better than xp for a year after XP came out. You couldn’t even boot XP on a driver bigger than 128GB where 2000 had that bug already patched.

Blue_Morpho,

And it’d be something the bride and groom would have to remember for the rest of their lives every time they put on their rings.

That’s not a very convincing argument to not do that every week at a random wedding.

Blue_Morpho, (edited )

Weddings have too much going on for anyone to keep track. It’s not a concert. No one is checking for tickets. After the wedding, receptions have assigned seating. But by then, you’d be long gone and planning the next Tolkiened wedding.

Q would have said,

“Oh the Husnock? Horrible, simply horrible species. Good riddance. Did you ask me here to give Uxbridge a medal or something? Because he certainly doesn’t deserve it! Why I’ve already genocided three species this morning and didn’t even get a thank you.”

Blue_Morpho,

Keeping the same language so no mistranslation is no barrier for religious wars. Shia and Sunni do fine despite both having the Koran in original Arabic.

Janeway didn’t get hate as much as it was criticism of the writers for making her inconsistent. One week it was “Prime directive no matter the consequences”, the next was “Lets do whatever to make drama.”

For all of Roddenberry’s faults, his presence for the early years of TNG kept TNG consistent instead of allowing the writer of the week to change characters for their personal story. By the time he was gone, the formula was set such that writers wouldn’t mess with characters.

Voyager has no singular authority so consistency of character was rare.

Edit: Except for Ensign Kim. He was born an Ensign and died one. Nobody messed with perfection.

Blue_Morpho,

?? Pluto has been streaming DS9 for years. The “More Trek” channel isn’t new either.

Blue_Morpho,

I watch that channel all the time. It’s always been DS9 and Voyager. Is it just DS9 now 24/7?

Blue_Morpho,

And as stated both have their merits and their faults.

Yes! Just because a compiler could guess the type doesn’t mean it should. Elon didn’t understand the meme at all.

Blue_Morpho,

She wanted to be on Becker so it was her fault. Berman could have been nice and written her into fewer episodes. But it was her moving to a major network show that killed her off.

Blue_Morpho,

I like Wil but his actor skills are gone. His appearance in Picard was cringingly bad. Although I partly blame the director for allowing such a bad performance to go to print.

Blue_Morpho,

Yeah Berman was a misogynistic jerk but she wanted out to go to Becker.

Eureka was 18 years ago!

I expected something like Wesley from the TNG episode, Journey’s End where he was fantastic. Instead it was like if you put Adam Savage on set and told him to geek out about being on Trek.

Blue_Morpho, (edited )

Becker was a high profile major network show which would have gone along with a major salary increase. If she really wanted to leave, she wouldn’t have ask to stay but written out of more episodes so as to not conflict with her Becker schedule.

Blue_Morpho,

Like I said, he was a misogynistic jerk. But if she was so keen on leaving she wouldn’t have asked for stories to be re-written so she could stay on ds9 while doing Becker.

Blue_Morpho,

Except their free tier is still around for everything that they started as free. Outlook, bing, Visual Studio Code, even office is free for students and teachers.

They’ll always keep the low tier free to get people hooked and charge businesses whatever.

Blue_Morpho,

Yeah they didn’t gave a free Office, Outlook or Visual studio. Now they do and there is no sign of them stopping it. Bing is expensive and they aren’t stopping it.

Chatgpt is MS’s first real chance of dethroning Google search. They’re going to keep a free tier forever.

Blue_Morpho,

That’s only good if you can bring your work to your garage.

Blue_Morpho,

I’m not hauling my portable compressor into my attic, nor do I have an extension cord that can reach the end of my yard. It stays in my garage. Even then I prefer battery tools because of the noise when the compressor kicks on.

Blue_Morpho,

1/2" drill/driver. The Milwaukee comes with 2 3a batteries compared to DeWalt having 1 4 ah which explains $50.

Although I also see a $99 Milwaukee with a single 2 Ahr battery which is weird because the tool alone is $129.
