Anything involving Romulus’ star means that ‘saving the planet’ is completely impossible.

Eventually, yes, but if it were possible to collapse the exploding star in a way that didn't totally roast the planet it would buy a fair bit of time to continue the evacuation. It'll get very cold and photosynthesis will stop, but with enough power and food, the population could hang on for several years if needed.

They're not, but a little cumbersome to carry around and find power on a heist.

There are loads of little pocket sized battery powered jammers available now.

I don't really see that happening tho. She barely criticizes Trump as it is. Once she loses, she'll go back to publicly fellating Trump and saying what a great man he is. I'd love to see her go full Liz Cheney, but she's far too self-serving for that.

The impact to the timeline form the Narada affected the timeline before that point as well because it affected subsequent time travel (allllll the times SNW, TOS, TNG, VOY, DS9, etc. went into the past would have occurred differently)

Really, which ones?

You basically have to break the installer to get it to work, which supports my point that the limit is an arbitrary way to exclude PCs made before a certain date from the next version. There is no technical reason MS can't allow old hardware to work and no marginal cost to Microsoft to chose to do so. Like I said, while I don't expect them to support everything forever, Microsoft also made their bed with their illegal business practices that got us here and hordes of malware infested EOL'ed computers are everybody's problem now. They shouldn't be adding to that problem for arbitrary marketing reasons.

I'm not against to fixed support periods, but they really ought to be minimums and not halted based on arbitrary dates, especially in the consumer space where these machines will run whether they get patched or not.

Slippery slope fallacy much?

This already happened during the last big Windows-on-ARM push w/ Win8. UEFI secure boot was required enabled on all new hardware but no requirement for user-added keys. It didn't overtly restrict Linux (on MS's part) but several manufacturers did lock down their devices. I don't see any reason why that won't happen again. It's the norm in the cell phone and tablet ecosystem (which is a damn shame, but there may be hope on the regulatory front w/ right to repair laws gaining steam.)

That's fine if you actually want it. I usually get the Costco deal for the family plan because we need the official MS Office apps and the terabyte storage per account is useful for us.

But Microsoft has gotten really obnoxious lately about upselling in the OS.

Yes, but it's not an automatic invocation of WW3. Article 5 just requires the members to discuss the issue and decide what to do about it, which is what they're doing now. If there's consensus Russia did it, they'll do something proportional in response.

Yup, a friend recommended them to me and I'm really happy with them. I haven't quite gotten the hang of gauging my own speaking volume when I have them in at a loud bar or something but I'll figure it out with more practice.

[-] knotthatone@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

No, but it's so immaterial it hasn't really been worth the effort to exclude it yet

Allegedly, Ira Behr wanted to end the series by making it all a fever dream by Benny Hill but Berman wouldn't let him.
