kaitco,

This has nothing to do with Riker.

kaitco,

Ensign Ro was in that one episode before being Ro.

I could have looked her up, but my phone was more than an arm’s width away, so I gave up easily.

kaitco,

It’s always better to ask for forgiveness than permission.

kaitco,

Subscribe!

kaitco,

Also, where is Uhura?

kaitco,

The Devil Wears…Prada? Armani? Dolce and Gabbana?

kaitco,

Remake this with Lwaxana as Padme!

kaitco,

Incorrect. There are five lights.

kaitco,

No beard: Unsteady child

With beard: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

kaitco,

I might try this out today!

This could be the better option for those of us who don’t want to go full SteamDeck, but also want something that could be better than SteamLink.

kaitco,

It’s been hit or miss for me sometimes. Overall, I just like the idea of having alternatives.

kaitco,

The Picard will save us!

kaitco,

Oof. What a heifer.

kaitco,

What makes you think Riker hasn’t already done it??

kaitco,

The more Trek I watch, the more I’m convinced that I’d be one of those people in the future who refuses all the “newfangled” things out of fear.

kaitco,

The Fifth Element’s president.

Not sure if he counts as US President, but they never clarified if he was the president of the US or the world or whatever, so he still counts! 👍

kaitco,

Oh snap! I never made the connection that was him!! 😭

kaitco,

Is that the one that’s like Star Wars?

kaitco,

Brah…I canNOT believe I’m getting rickrolled in 2023.

kaitco,

First season Riker…? Well… 😬

kaitco,

It happens to the best of us.

You are being assimilated. Resistance is futile.

Homer has stopped strangling Bart in The Simpsons and it’s about time (www.theguardian.com)

Nothing lasts forever. In time, the continents will crash into each other once more, the sun will swallow the planet and, at some point long after that, The Simpsons will end. But that isn’t to say that it’s incapable of moving with the times before then. Because, in yet another nod to shifting tastes, Homer Simpson has...

kaitco,

No more strangling Bart?! Is nothing sacred!?!

Google and major mobile carriers want Europe to regulate Apple's iMessage platform (www.engadget.com)

The long fight to make Apple’s iMessage compatible with all devices has raged with little to show for it. But Google (de facto leader of the charge) and other mobile operators are now leveraging the European Union’s Digital Market Act (DMA), according to the Financial Times. The law, which goes into effect in 2024, requires...

kaitco,

This feels a bit like asking MS Teams to play nice with Google Meet, or demanding that Apple’s office suite (Pages, Numbers, etc.) deliver the exact same product when files are saved in an OpenOffice format. This doesn’t seem to be an issue with any other products…

Apple have designed their product to work well with their devices. The Messages app still functions with non-Apple devices. SMS messages can be sent and received to anyone. The fact that pictures and whatever come through like crap is more an issue with the SMS platform than it is with Apple’s app.

Ultimately, Google dislikes the fact that there is a “green bubble” stigma (for lack of a better word) on Apple devices that encourages those who care about such things to prefer Apple devices. Because Google doesn’t have their own widely used iMessage equivalent, they can’t turn around and make messages outside their platform appear as red bubbles or something, so they are attacking from this angle instead.

Sent from my iPhone

kaitco,

Exactly. It’s a complete non-issue in Europe.

Google are attempting to start this fight in Europe in hopes that they can push Apple to change in the US as well. The whole green bubble thing is US-only, but Google haven’t been even remotely successful in trying to force Apple to change, and Apple’s “remedy” to the issue is “Get an iPhone”.

kaitco,

Google is pushing RMS, which they would control

Hardest of hard passes, even if I were on Android.

Again, Google don’t have their own iMessage that is widely used, so instead of compete on that level, they want to own the whole system.

kaitco,

I’ll get the ball rolling…

Ackshually…the red shirts didn’t die any more than other colors…

kaitco,

This isn’t new. One of my cousins did this to three of her four kids. 😬 This has been a thing for ages.

kaitco,

Everybody knows Larry and Shalonda…

kaitco,

I don’t think that piracy will get to a point that it will eat into their profits. Most people want whatever is easiest, and doing the basics of torrenting in a way that doesn’t cause drama with the internet provider and then either using some kind of Jellyfin or continuous streaming setup is far beyond “easy” for the general populace. In order for piracy to get to the public, it would need to be just as simple as streaming through a TV.

Folks predicted that Netflix would see a mass exodus when they cracked down on account sharing and they actually increased accounts instead.

Piracy will definitely continue its upswing, but it is more likely that the majority of people will just watch whatever is available on maybe one or two streaming options or just slowly return to just broadcast TV or even cable. Piracy didn’t kill television when the VCR was invented, and it didn’t kill music when the first iterations of Napster and such first became known. Piracy will always be present, but it has a lot of hurdles before it really makes a dent in corporate bottom lines.

kaitco,

You punk! Go back and watch it!

I watched it completely unaware what I was in for and I was hardly 12 years old! They didn’t even have TV ratings back then. We just got a “Viewer Discretion Advised” warning and they let it loose!

Yes, nearly 30 years later, I’m still a little scarred from the episode, but it’s a part of the whole X-Files experience. It would be like skipping The Host in Season 2! Experience!

kaitco,

By this judgement, Riker was ready to take his own command by Season 3.

kaitco,

👀

kaitco,

…updates to its Xbox app on Windows 11

Pass.

kaitco,

👏👏👏👏

kaitco,

I don’t think Spyro will be quite as popular as Sonic or Mario considering the sheer number of his games that have sucked past the PS1-era, but a lot of millennials grew up with him, and he was so popular that the Spyro remake did very well.

The Spyro remake brought it to younger generations who can also grow up playing his games, and further cementing Spyro into overall nostalgia.

kaitco,

Yoink!

kaitco,

Begun, the meme wars have.

kaitco,

“Great” in the way that Metaverse was great, or this the real sort of great, as in “free beer” great?

kaitco,

How dare the common staff attempt to save money?!

That is not their lot in life! They ought to be thankful for the pittance they receive as it is, and they are entirely ungrateful wretches to think of saving and trying to improve their situation!

Entirely ungrateful!!

kaitco,

It should have been “sped”. To hell with these 21st-century, let’s throw out all the grammar rules, ideals.

The past tense of “speed” is “sped”. 😡

kaitco,

I guess concern that the water is filthy isn’t really the biggest issue here.

Google Chrome to soon get a new ‘IP protection’ feature: Here’s what it does (indianexpress.com)

Google will soon start testing a new ‘IP protection’ feature for Chrome users, offering them greater control over their privacy. The tech giant the upcoming feature prevents websites from tracking users by hiding their IP address using proxy servers owned by Google....

kaitco,

It’s some high-level BS, is what it is.

A better way to protect privacy is to use a neutral, paid VPN; use Firefox with all the best blockers; and not sign into anything while doing searches.

Google is doing this so that they can see everything and so that others will have to pay them to see the everything they’ll have. Yes, it can “technically” be private from other parties, but Google’s bread and butter comes from collecting data and selling it. This is only a tool to collect even more data.

kaitco,

Ohhhh man! I can’t wait until I get into DS9.

Question: Should I watch the TNG movies first, or can I jump into DS9 at any time?

kaitco,

Wonderful!

kaitco,

OH snap!!

kaitco,

The Jedi are not supposed to interfere,

What kind of Trek-level “prime directive” nonsense is this?

Isn’t Tatooine supposed to be part of the Republic? It’s near enough for them to space limp from Naboo, and yet the entire Republic was dragged into war over Naboo. If Naboo can be held under Republic law, Tatooine ought to be as well.

kaitco,

Heyyy…

Where does one find Futurama comics??

Amazon issues warning about major change for Kindle users starting next month (goodereader.com)

In a recent communication, Amazon has alerted Kindle users about significant changes set to take effect from next month. The notification pertains to the phasing out of support for sending MOBI (.mobi, .azw, .prc) files through the “Send to Kindle” feature, starting November 1, 2023. This change, as News18 pointed out,...

kaitco,

Kindles don’t natively “support” Epub, but you can Send to Kindle or even email things to your Kindle and it will get formatted into a format that Amazon will accept. I’ve done this myself for years on Kindles and for devices with Kindle apps.

For your bookmarklet, you’d have to either update it to send as Epub or find another option that sends as Epub instead of Mobi.

In your situation, it sounds like just emailing articles to your Kindle would be the best option. This article can tell you how to figure out your Kindle email and how to send files to it.
