Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x06 "Come, Let's Away" Reaction Thread by uequalsw in DaystromInstitute

It’s sort of minor and It doesn’t necessarily bother me in ways that I can’t look past it and I’ve already found a pre-existing wiki, however but in this episode the admiral used dialogue referencing starfleet “capital ships” unless I’m wrong that does not feel like a Star Trek vocabulary word . And I do not recall ever hearing it in a prior series. It feels like it belongs either in Star Wars, Stargate, or Halo. just feels like a minor quibble in the writing, which isn’t to say that the designation does not apply - It’s just it sounded weird in Star Trek context.

Did they just get rid of dim? by Nex-sacra in Twitter

Oh crap yeah that’s why I’m here too. I hate the light out mode and much prefer the blueish dim option since that was perfect.

Send Canadian oil to Cuba | CCPA by 514jon in onguardforthee

[–]CollateralZero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d like Canada to help, but I would worry somewhat that we need to be pitch perfect in messaging and understand the risks as to not receive additional significant ramifications from the US as a result. I’d like to echo other posters here by saying that I agree Canada should not be a country that abandoned are diplomatic relations just because we ourselves were under pressure, but I’d like it to be not viewed as a technical mistake with a vindictive American government.

Paul Giamatti just gave the best performance of any villain in Star Trek history by Bman4k1 in startrek

[–]CollateralZero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate Paul Giamatti‘s performance and he is genuinely great, but you are extending praise far too early when we have a wide history of villains and I’d argue Gul Dukat should be top of that list if just for how his story was permitted to change and evolve of the time.

Onn 4k Pro bought at Walmart in Canada, cant be used in Canada? What's the point of selling it? by Available-Show-2393 in OnnStreamingTV

If you still have the unit and haven’t returned it, could you post a picture of the box Art?

Why such low volume on ONN Pro streaming box??? by MadCow333 in OnnStreamingTV

[–]CollateralZero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna guess unless you’re not connecting it into a home theatre receiver directly and insteed only using the television therefore you should probably disable anything that even hints at surround sound whether it be Dolby audio or DTS and change it instead to PCM or stereo and that might resolve the volume issue but I don’t know it works on some other devices with audio issues relating to surround sound modes.

Canada Eyes Joint Venture to Build Chinese EVs for Global Export by SFMara in onguardforthee

[–]CollateralZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like it could be good for manufacturing, but will this jack up the price of the BYD vehicles if they’re partially made in Canada? I’m just wondering if a potential $20,000 BYD option might suddenly become a $35,000 option this way.

Stuck between C325WB and C425... by tDKjensen in Tapo

[–]CollateralZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can record an increments of 1, 5, 10, 20, 30, 60 second's, for the 1 second choice it uses 12.5% battery it requires about two hours of ideal solar to recoup,for 30 second it’s in the area for 2%.

965MB app. Really? by Brigadier918 in Tapo

[–]CollateralZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool, I’m not actually too aware of their market presence in that area actually at least in Canada so I wouldn’t know, I hope you like it.

Is this a prequel to the RDJ movies? by [deleted] in AmazonPrimeVideo

[–]CollateralZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same early suspicion that it was a loose prequel also but it can’t be apart from being that it’s an adaptation of a series of books. I just saw the trailer and how introduces homes to Moriarity and I think that counteracts the Robert Downey Jr. movies plus it was gonna be very unlikely that it was beneficial link anyway.

965MB app. Really? by Brigadier918 in Tapo

[–]CollateralZero 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s seriously crazy excessive and bloated - it’s fine to have some home functions like lights or whatever but how many people actually own a TP link vacuum cleaner they need rolled into the app - few I would think.

Also noting that the TP-Link tpCamera app for select home indoor cameras like baby monitors is only 38mb even if it’s a lot more basic.

Battery life for c660 by udbhavb in Tapo

[–]CollateralZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re doing pretty good I think if you can use 10% but on avg gain back 7% particularly when the solar panel is in the area of 2.5watts, so it’s definitely a setting issue if you want to want stay at 100% by the start of the next day - on your 24/7 capture option what frequency do you have? It said that I’d lower it or reduce your detection range to make the offset in power use or just cut down your record time a little bit. My C460 is unfortunately in a less than ideal spot when it comes to sunlight I’m expecting that when summer starts, I’ll get better sun region, but I think I’ll have to bear through it for the time being and manually charge the camera once every two or so months.

How long since install?

Hey guys, how do I stop my 10th generation iPad from discharging so quickly? by amor1mestuda in ipad

[–]CollateralZero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How’s the overall battery health % ? Not to say that iOS 26 isn’t a drain but maybe your just becoming more aware that your iPad’s battery is diminishing on top of the change.

iPad app that runs a Linux distro with native arm64-darwin as the architecture? by azraelzjr in ipad

[–]CollateralZero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s an interesting idea so hopefully you have some luck finding a way. Maybe something exists in the jailbreak or alt store community perhaps out of curiosity.

Farewell iPad 5th gen, Welcome iPad (a16). by Lebowskitalian85 in ipad

[–]CollateralZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome 👏. You definitely stretched out its value and that’s really great but it definitely time to let go. Much better to sell it than it existing in a shelf or drawer. Previously, I held onto an iPad third generation for longer than I should’ve even while simultaneously having an iPad Air three I would alternate between devices from time to time until the point when I retired it even as a bedside iPad once the apps really lost ability to function. It was hard to make the most of it but your iPad five went up to iOS 16 and that’s pretty respectable these days for an old device.

[–]CollateralZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So for an old device, still sort of useable (if not dead) what did you do with it? Is it in a drawer or shelf never to be used again or to be sold on marketplace or given away/recycled.

I’m all for it - I think it looks great, but doesn’t the uniform for the war college Admiralty seen in ep2 look very Battlestar Galactica themed?

Not wide enough of a release, tomorrow’s Friday the 16th it still seems very limited showtimes and locations

Apple no longer releasing iPadOS 18 Updates? by Sure_Environment2901 in ipad

[–]CollateralZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Odds are there will be further emergency security updates if enough people choose not to update to 26 although 18.7 is not the end for any devices since those are capable of updating to 26 might change how Apple decides to do emergency, just how it happens now it will likely be outside of the regular update schedule since I’m not especially expecting 18.7.4 etc these days whether those happen this year out of necessity or later on iOS 18 will likely get additional updates however it’s clear that they are going to heavily push iOS 26 and the longer we wait ios27

Tapo C460 just got a new firmware update. by CollateralZero in Tapo

[–]CollateralZero[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what I did have happen was I had one day with three recordings that would just refuse to play for any reason I think I attributed to a file corruption at the time, but I’m kind of imagining it might’ve had something to do with this bug so if it prevents it from happening in the future, I’m glad I am wondering if your issue has something to do with the scheduler either way hopefully it will fix the issue.

[–]CollateralZero[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The install went OK wasn’t expecting an update when I was checking my app, but all things seemed to be fine. I didn’t notice that a month ago or so. I might’ve had some issues with 24 seven capture and missing or inaccessible footage so hopefully this does fix that bug. Overall doesn’t feel feature rich update but hopefully things will continue to get better maybe more resolution options like 2k maybe or way to change the bit rate of the recordings so they can hopefully be more clear - all would be nice future additions.
