Indirect Playback goes through them first. Also, they host DynDNS for the Plex media server to make accessing it remotely from apps easier.

The second thing is a joke to host and requires no resources. The first one can be a significant resource usage item.

Don’t worry. I’m sure Michael Burnham will come back somehow and help the writers get out of their block.

The mirror universe arc was, IMHO, when Georgio was at her most interesting and I also liked it.

I don’t mind Tilly’s character. Her growth felt organic to me. She just always had a lack of confidence. At least she started out bad at everything and lacking confidence and they developer her. Michael just STARTED as the miracle child and then they had to pathetically try and claw her back.

That said, I can understand why some people didn’t like her. She wasn’t for everyone.

Star Trek Discovery is a perfect example of how to build wonderful support characters and ideas, but have terrible main characters and story execution.

Literally all of the supporting characters, like Saru, Tilly, Staments, Culber, Reno, Adira…they’re fantastic characters.

Burnham, and by virtue nearly every character she frequently interacts with, are tainted. She’s a Mary Su, fixer of all things, get out of writer’s block free card. Even when they “kick her down”, she still comes back as the solution when the writers run out of ideas. Even when she jumped into the future, the writers just couldn’t fucking help themselves with the prions and making her immediately say “I’m smart and the best. You should do this” to an admiral with an entire swath of doctors and advisors available. Somehow she’s jumped hundreds of years into the future and is supposed to be out of her depth, but is the expert? Fuck off.

Saru and Tilly somehow comes out mostly untainted, but Georgio, Booker, etc. all get overshadowed by her shit character design by virtue of being joined at the hip with her story.

Also, the stories always build up to some “grand reveal” that is utterly stupid. Dilithium exploded because feelings. DMA “oops our bad” aliens. Shitty Klingons. An AI that never heard of backups.

The most interesting arcs are the Emerald Chain, Aroam’s sacrifice, and Zora. Like…Ariam’s sacrificial story was AMAZING. Why tf didn’t they do stories like that the rest of the time???

If they had spent less time making Burnham the solution to everything while promoting her shit self to Captain and written things that built to a satisfying conclusion, it could have been a good show.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t a good show.

Basically how to summarize all of Discovery.

Man I might have to get one of these…I don’t mind my FitBit, but since being gobbled by Google, I don’t need another data point for Google to feed off.

VTubers are people who is avatars instead of being on camera. Typically the avatar is lip synced to their voice.

Helldivers 2 runs great on my Steam Deck LCD. Great game.

Honestly? Might not be a bad idea to consider buying a used Tesla after they tank in value.

1. No money goes to Elon in that exchange, so you’re not supporting the fascist prick. They made their money off the first buyer.

2. It’s environmentally friendly to buy a used vehicle, rather than a new one, as you extend it’s life and reduce it’s carbon footprint

3. Since everybody is abandoning them, they’re cheaper than other options.

My only reservation is that I’d be driving around a Tesla still, so if I did something like this I’d have to de-brand the hell out of it somehow to make it appear as a generic “an car”.

They’re trolling and have no idea what the fuck they’re talking about. I’ve literally not had a bootloader failure in a decade from multiple Linux OS installs.

The only time I had an issue was when I was playing with a bleeding edge distro and it borked full disk encryption, but that was INTENTIONALLY bleeding edge and I knew the risks.

The billionaires would also drop every dollar they could into opponents, misinformation, and smear campaigns

Emulation isn’t piracy and you’re allowed to back up physical games you own. That’s legally your right.

This firmware update applies to laserjets. Not inkjets.

Since when did Walz serve in a position that supported genocide? He’s a governor. Harris was part of the Biden white house, not Walz.

I’m happy my company basically issued a ban on Windows without pre-authorization. We’re entirely a macOS and Linux shop.

I used to just use Firefox for Google Meet, but it seems they broke it somewhere along the way. Probably on purpose.

As someone who grew up with this shit, after my sister died in an accident this is exactly what these nutters say.

“A couple of decades”

Buddy…it’s 55 years old now. Lol.

Interesting movie concept, though. Would love to see something like this remade today with modern revelations.

The efficiency comes from the lack of voice processing. The beeps and boops are easier on CPU resources than trying to parse spoken word.

That said, they should just communicate over an API like you said.
