Nice. Did you relock the bootloader after loading?

Dracula is my go to. There is a daily email you can sign up for that follows the books entries. Jurassic Park is good as well.

I though the main criticism of the new shows was the lack of lighting? I really miss the lighting in the older shows... :(

You can get by with just watching a few of the movies from the original series cast. If you want to get more back story then watch the show. There are episode lists for the original series that likely make it more digestible, but if you watched ds9, did you try to watch "The trouble with tribbles"? That's the episode the ds9 cast goes to.

I like enterprise over strange new worlds.

I think being a trekkie is not black and white. There are levels of fandom you will likely never reach, which of fine. I consider my self a Trekkie by the definition of I'll watch nearly anything star trek related (sorry the new kids show is a pass) and will get excited when i can talk to anyone about star trek.

Good luck on your journey!

While I love a good debate episode of start trek, this one was a missed opportunity to make parallel to some current event. Good otherwise and agree with others that the end was eh, but I'll take it.

I enjoyed the Legend series by Marie Lu, but I'm not sure about her new book. Is anyone else looking to read or has finished it?

Where are the lasers to control the weather that Biden refused to use to save Florida?

If our kids aren't even safe at school then why the hell do we care so much about air travel?

Can we just move all school to inside airports?

Dang, I just got a heart monitor that synced to Google fit to get my target heart points tracked...

Yeah, if the streaming providers ever switch over to AV1 that would be an interesting comparison.

I was sitting in my car the other day and was able to tilt my phone just right under the sunlight to see the two sensors under the screen. This is a pixel 7. I noticed that the finger print sensor was crooked while the top sensor was pretty straight. It got me thinking for all the people with issues against the finger print sensor, I wonder if theirs is more mis aligned, or maybe this is unrelated.

I check the photos on iFixit and the sensor looks straight there, but it's getting the back. Anyway, would be interesting if others could take a look at their sensor to see if this is a common thing.

Took a photo with my flashlight and modified it on Snapseed to make it easier to see. It is possible this is normal, but never know.

I wanted to try out the desktop version of the Brave browser. Its setup according to the privacy guide directions and I have sendoff usage data disabled, but if I open the browser sitting on the home page, windows is reporting 100KB ofdataa going out every 5 or so seconds.

Running the same test with Edge, no network usage is reported.

The only extention on Brave is bitwarden, which is also installed on edge.

Any thoughts? This is the IP it is sending to: 104.18.12.33

Edit: on reboot of process, I see the hostname: ec2-35-163-26-5.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
