Disney is raking its customers over the coals with a 75% price hike for their annual subscription (originally $80.) People wonder why piracy is on the rise.Multiple commenters are saying I’m off base about the 75% price increase. My payment less than a year ago was $79.99. Here’s the proof.
If you have enough capacity to power 10 you can’t replicate an 11th because that would mean that you would have more replicators than you had capacity.
It kind of works though because it’s a prequel to things like TOS and TNG. We’ve already seen those shows, so we know they’re basically wondering around what will become their own backyard in a couple of hundred years. There really isn’t that much that’s dangerous there. Mostly it’s about interpersonal situations and meeting new species for the first time.
I used to work at an airport and they had a internal tracking system for passengers with special requests (mostly for unaccompanied kids).
Anyway it’s programmed in assembly and only works on one particular type computer. Even if it runs on a different era appropriate processor apparently this app won’t work. So there was a buttload of old motherboards in a store room somewhere so that we could just swap the board out if the computer ever died. It’s critical infrastructure that there is no backup for.
So basically I’m pretty sure the way the world ends is because somebody threw away an important floppy disk, and now a nuclear reactor is going into meltdown.
Sure but there are star systems that are above and below the exact ecliptic of the galactic plane. We’re not on the ecliptic that’s why you can’t see the milky way as well in the southern hemisphere because we’re kind of below it.
If a ship was travelling from Sol to Arcturus it would travel up (relative to the galactic plane) because we’re slightly below it and it’s considerably above it. The galaxy is very thin compared to its width, but it’s still of thousands of light years high.
The ships can land and take off at least some of them can but they don’t fly around in the atmosphere they just go up and down they’re either on the ground or they’re in space but they can’t really manoeuvre.
Except for that one episode of Voyager where they just kind of forgot about that, but I think that was hand-waved away by saying that they just made the shields into a bubble and so essentially from the air’s perspective the ship was a sphere. That’s apparently what the shuttlecraft do too, which is why they fall like a brick whenever they’re shot down.
I think Lemmy just compressors images that are in the comments in a way it doesn’t do for posts. It’s really weird and kind of broken behaviour. You are probably better off hosting it somewhere and then just linking to the host.
I never cared that my parents knew where he was because I was never trying to do anything particularly nefarious and my parents weren’t completely buttheads.
But this was pre mobile phone days (my first phone was a Nokia Ngage), so if I went out they wouldn’t be able to contact me in an emergency so it made sense to say oh I’m going to x house here is ther phone number. Now that mobile phones exist maybe that requirement no longer exists.
The fact that there are 11 quadrillion streaming services now makes me suspect that there actually cannot be a secret cabal of shady business types running the world. Because they are all far too interested in competing with each other to actually notice that if they stop doing that then they’d be better off.
I used to work in security camera monitoring and I used to think I don’t understand why insurers will touch some of these companies with an electrified cattle prod.
They will be pretty high value asset companies with valuable stuff on premises that could be stolen, construction equipment, medical equipment, guns, cars, steel copper lead etc. and their security cameras would max out at 720p have a giant spider web on them without fail and would invariably be on some wobbly pole somewhere that was blowing around in the wind causing 300 false positives a minute. We literally used to switch those cameras off.
Why don’t they insist on equipment that didn’t cost the company $4.50 from Walmart?
The only cameras we used to work with that were actually any good were the number plate recognition cameras, but they were specialist and were absolutely useless for anything else other than number plate recognition. But boy did they get you that number plate.
I think a lot of the pushback that he’s getting from it is mostly to do with the level of snobbery that it was said with.
It’s incorrect anyway, because by what metric are movies judged other than revenue? He might as well have said that book adaptations don’t count either because they’re not original works.
It’s just a bizarre thing to have commented on, what was the point? If he makes a movie and it’s good, and it’s not as if he’s bitter because he’s made plenty of good movies, people will watch it. There was no reason to have a go at Marvel. If you want crap superhero movies look at DC stuff.
That’s just how legalese is written. It’s like variables in programming they tell you what the thing is and then they tell you what they’re going to call it for the rest of the document.
I guess it originally saved them hand writing “B&H Film, Video and Television Media Production LLC” every time. Of course these days you could just do a fine and a replace, so I’m not sure why they don’t, but it’s just become standard lawyer at this point.
Finally got back into sailing the high seas and, first thing i did after getting plex set up was get parks and rec since ive missed it so bad after it left netflix. Its great so far but occasionally it loses track of what ive watched and picks up in the middle of like 9 episodes back?...
You want it to work all of the time, well, frankly that’s just unreasonable
Unfortunately Plex is just kind of crap like that.
One time it decided that it only had episode 6 series 4 of bones, and none of the others even though they were sat right there in the file system, I could play them and everything from Windows. How did it manage that, no idea.
When it does stuff like that you just have to resync your library and eventually it’ll actually do it and start working again.
What are some companies that deserve to be boycotted to death?
So far my list includes Comcast, EA, and Nestle. Tell me yours, and I’ll help out.
