marcos,

Nah, he gets lots of plain simple injuries that heal in minutes or hours too.

marcos,

The entire computer is throttled into a power consumption you can sink through air coolers. So, unless you are overclocking something, it should always be enough. That will hold until companies start to design the components specifically for water cooling.

But the people claiming it can be quieter or thinner are quite right.

marcos,

One of those is a good browser.

They are 35 years model, with a measurable age of 35 years. But the researchers actually got brand new products, of current models from the store yesterday.

marcos,

Looks like the obvious thing to do with them.

marcos,

I’m finding it very funny, because I though it was incredibly obvious on the movie, and nobody would ever disagree.

Indeed, the movie is way too busy, so it’s easy to miss that there are no insects on space, or that the bugs weren’t even aware they were been systematically attacked until “now”. But it’s one of those things that I expected to be completely obvious once pointed out. It’s even more obvious than what you are narrating from the book, because on the movie Earth has been receiving those rocks for decades.

I imagine people missing the point is part of the point of it. It’s like that gorilla video.

marcos,

People insist on making Janeway do those crazy stunts… Just remember that it wasn’t her that created a fleet or Von Neumann probes programed to act as space mines.

marcos,

Or to have completely reasonable responses to anything that happens on Voyager.

marcos,

Trust the author? Are you crazy? Do you have any idea how many dumb mistakes I’ve caught the author doing?

Hum… I have a 75MJ varistor on each phase of the main wiring of my house. Those are not fuses (because fuses don’t have a total energy specification) but I can certainly get a few more for the Enterprise it they want.

marcos,

I don’t know about you people, but personally, I always write programs at work by removing boards from my computer and plugging them in a different order.

marcos,

That’s basically all that refraction is. A dead giveaway is that light doesn’t move at the speed of light in them.

marcos,

No, they don’t. They can get absorbed and re-emitted, and the space they are moving though can compress sideways. But they can’t make curves at all.

marcos,

Something, yes. That specific thing you are going to ask, no.

marcos,

Well, if you need something that a simple tailor can help you with… like high-stakes negotiation with foreign governments, data exfiltration, intelligence analysis, or other such trivial tasks that don’t require contacts or secret knowledge, he’s the man for you!

marcos,

It was pushed way too soon. It’s just not too soon anymore, that’s why everybody is moving now.

marcos,

So, you play with the Federation Humans?

marcos,

It’s hard to display any competency when your bosses are all hidden changelings interested on your failure.

marcos,

Does Loki come with the full TVA gear?

marcos,

Well, suddenly the Minbari sound much less threatening.

marcos,

It looks much more like a joke. A more veiled version of the Lower Decks people referring to the Kirk’s Enterprise as TOS.

And, honestly, I can’t understand an implicit “sorry” there at all. It sounds much more like “fuck the purists, our ship is going to look good”.

marcos,

You don’t have to go very far. There’s an episode on Discovery where Pike just goes and say something like “Enough with the problems with holograms! From now on the Enterprise will have only flat screens!”

marcos,

He’s responsible for most of the knowledge the Discovery crew acquired about how to deal with trauma and loss after they time-jumped.

marcos,

You are looking at the wrong place. The TPM is a very standard piece of hardware, that shouldn’t even need firmware (it would completely cancel the entire point of it). It enables a whole lot of shit, but it isn’t the thing that does the shit.

Now, you can go look at the always-on network enabled uncontrollable management unity that exists inside your computer’s processor… Intel pinky swears they can’t access them in any way and will only activate them if you pay extra¹; AMD AFAIK doesn’t even try to say anything.

1 - Makes sense to you? Well, how do they activate it if they can’t access it?

marcos,

As soon as everybody is speaking it, the word itself is already meaningless and the context has all the information. So, yeah, ignoring it is quite efficient.

Anyway, I suspect that when you notice those things happening, it already means that you are old.
