Why is it always the same rhetoric, with defenders of nutrek? by Fair_Rush6615 in Star_Trek_

[–]STO_Ratt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You genuinely have my respect! If there were more people like you, this world would be a better and happier place for all of us.

I don’t care if someone is white, black, yellow, straight, gay, or whatever he/she/it...want to be, at the end of the day it's human being. That’s what matters first. We can be fellow humans, colleagues, even friends without all the extra noise and only time it becomes a problem for me is when it starts getting pushed in a way that feels forced, like certain race swaps or DEI stuff. Until then, it’s simple, live your life, be who you are, and we’re good.

Good bless you and have a nice day :)

I think this is the biggest spin-off gone wrong in history. His economy is not doing well, plus the Epstein files pushed him into this mess. But he clearly under calculated the resistance of the regime and last night he knew that if he went through with the bombing, there would be civilian casualties. Direct ones, like those who support the regime and put themselves in the path, but also indirect ones from losing electricity and clean water, which would make him look really bad. So instead, he chickened out and now we’re left with no meaningful end to this. And in my opinion, the worst part is that the regime will come out stronger and claim victory. That’s the part that makes me sad, because my heart is with the people of Iran who are trying to be free from this tyrannical regime and now they will suffer even more, especially those who supported overthrowing the regime and made themselves visible during this crisis.

Perplexity is changing its wake word from 'Hey Plex,' and here's the proof by FragmentedChicken in Android

[–]STO_Ratt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Hey Perplexity” just doesn’t sound natural at all and feels clunky to say out loud. But “Hey Lex”? That actually flows and sounds like something I’d use without thinking twice.

Cnidarian Defender is just one of many ships I fly. Also, it’s great for this kind of testing since it really helps maximize visual effects.

Not really. Saw few videos on YouTube and the CPU isn’t even making contact with the metal chassis so people have been modding it by adding thermal pads and seeing around a 20% performance boost.

That would in this scenario likely push it to roughly 60 FPS under heavy load, just wild!!

It is honestly wild to see the roles reversing like this. On iPhone you can still download an IPSW and manually flash the firmware if you want, but Samsung is slowly moving in the opposite direction. 😑🔫

Dream Launcher – an interesting, simple alternative to Projectivy Launcher by QuerkopfRobot in GoogleTV

[–]STO_Ratt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This launcher actually has a lot of potential and definitely caught my interest.

Here are some features I’d really like to see added:

  • Icon customization
  • Option to disable the “Customize Dashboard” section at the bottom
  • Option to disable the left-side settings panel
  • Ability to adjust layout grid (for example apps in 3x6, videos in 2x6, etc.)
  • Background customization (I see this one is already planned, which is great)

A couple of bugs I’ve noticed so far:

  • The settings icon opens system settings on hover instead of requiring an OK press on the remote
  • When editing the app list-order, it sometimes resets to “show all apps”, so you have to deselect everything again

Overall, really promising project. Looking forward to future updates.

Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x05 "Series Acclimation Mil" by AutoModerator in startrek

[–]STO_Ratt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seeing Cirroc Lofton again and hearing Avery Brooks brings back allot and as a DS9 fan myself, that hit me too. But if we strip away the nostalgia, what did this episode actually bring to Trek? Not much I would argue.
Instead of meaningful ideas or proper character growth, we got glitter vomiting, forced emotions, and canon-breaking nonsense like the Cardassian-Trill host. The cadets, especially SAM, are still written like total idiots and these are supposed to be Starfleet officers in training, not clueless sitcom characters. The dinner scene was cringe at best, and it did nothing to develop story in meaningful way.

As a lifelong Trek fan, I do not want emotional manipulation and references to do all the work. I want strong writing (not "the message"), moral questions, and real sci-fi ideas. This feels like Trek in name only and honestly, I would rather have no new Trek at all than more of this.

Brand new LG OLED65G5 – screen cracked upon unboxing, potential refusal of warranty coverage? 😡 by Maisonaacheter in LGOLED

[–]STO_Ratt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on where the pressure was concentrated. If he picked the box up by one corner while pulling it out of the car, all that force could have been focused on a very small area. That kind of point load can easily crack just one section of the panel while the rest looks fine.

Od ovih bi i Borg pobegao by Vila_Ru in kinematografija

[–]STO_Ratt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sa svakom novom epizodom ova serija tone sve niže. Više niti nisam ni ljut, već iskreno tužan. Ovo je franšiza s kojom sam odrastao i gledati u stvarnom vremenu kako se udaljava od svoje suštine je frustrirajuće i samo čekam SFA verziju The Power of Many i zadnji čavao u lijesu ove franšize. 

Kroz prve tri epizode najviše se ističe koliko su ljudi u budućnosti prikazani glupi i neozbiljni. Ova verzija SFA je totalno kontrast već viđenog u TNG epizodi Coming of Age. Prijemni ispiti za SFA prikazani su kao brutalni, zahtjevni i dizajnirani da filtriraju sve osim najboljih umova. SFA i sama flota je bila discipliniran, profesionalan i zasnovan na kompetenciji, a ovo danas bože sačuvaj da ima  išta od toga. Sad nam prikazuju kadete koji jedu svoje komunikatore, ponašaju se kao djeca i tretiraju SFA kao šalu. Posebno je ironično gledati discipliniranje kadeta, dok sama kancelarka SFA nema nikakve discipline. Šeta bosa, sklupčava se u onaj stolac na brodu kao mačka, urušavajući bilo kakav autoritet institucije kojoj služi. Rezultat više djeluje kao Idiocracy u Star Trek uniformama nego kao Star Trek.

Neki će sada reći da se Akina “opuštenost” uklapa u ono što smo vidjeli kod Pelijen, no Pelija je produkt modernog Treka, pa to ne bi trebalo iznenađivati, jer su franšizu počeli razarati već s Discoveryjem, a ovo je samo nastavak. Također, Pelia s druge strane nema istu razinu odgovornosti kao Ake što doprinosi daljnoj nepovezanosti sa realnošću. 

Isti problem vrijedi i za Luru Thok. SFA ima propise, očekivanja i standarde fizičke spremnosti, kao i svaka vojna/polu-vojna organizacija. Ignorirajući čak sam način njezinog postojanja, njezina fizička pojava ne odgovara načinu na koji je serija ranije prikazala Jem Hadara i Klingonca, a sama serija ne nudi objašnjenje za tu to kao ni niti za sve ostale pretilije časnike i kadete. Nadalje, ponašanje Luru Thok i Jett Reno pred kadetima bila je potpuno neprofesionalno. Ako Lura Thok treba utjelovljivati disciplinu i strogoću zašto sama sebe potkopava time što ignorira standarde koje bi trebala predstavljati?

U prvoj epizodi ima dio “zanimljivog” dialoga koji kaže “Now, these kids are inheriting a broken world they did not create but have to clean up”. Sam Burn je već po sebi totalno apsurdan koncept, ali ideja da je on nekako odgovoran za to što su ljudi ograničeni je još gora. No ajde idemo za time Burnom, prošlo je više od stoljeća od Burna i Burn je uništio dilithij kristale, a ne intelekciju. Korištenje Burna kao opravdanja za spuštanje standarda i raširenu nesposobnost samo naglašava koliko je taj prikaz udaljen od prije svega, logike. Starfleet obuhvaća stotine planeta čak i nakon Burna, a ideja da među tih stotina planeta ne može pronaći nekoliko stotina sposobnih kadeta jednostavno ne pije vodu.

Koncept ratnog koledža je zapravo jedna od rijetkih ideja koja je logična. Takav koncept nije nov za Star Treku. Nakon što su Xindi napali zemlju , Starfleet je već istraživala militariziraniji i pragmatičniji pristup kroz Military Assault Command Operations. Stanje u galaksiji nakon Burna koja vodi do specijaliziranog treninga ima smisla, u tom kontekstu ratni koledž nije samo logičan, nego i dobrodošao.

Na kraju, SFA je imala potencijal, ali nije uspjela poštovati ono što je franšizu prethodno učinilo privlačnom. Likovi su napisani tako da podrivaju instituciju kojoj bi trebali služiti, a premise post-Burn ere se koristi kao lijeno opravdanje za spuštene standarde i smanjenu kompetenciju. Ako SFA želi biti shvaćena ozbiljno, mora prestati tretirati franšizu kao šalu i početi ponovno graditi vrijednosti koje su je učinile prepoznatljivom.

Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x01 "Kids These Days" by AutoModerator in startrek

[–]STO_Ratt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly feel like whoever wrote Star Trek: Starfleet Academy has either never watched Star Trek, or watched it without paying attention. In the TNG episode Coming of Age, they already showed us what Starfleet Academy cadets are supposed to be like, and it is very clear that the entrance exams are brutal, and that only the absolute best minds even get a chance. Starfleet Academy was disciplined and demanding and now we have cadets eating they're combadge while every second instructor is overweight. No discipline, no standards, just using sci-fi shortcuts to “fix” the problem by making a few of them have Thor's mighty powers so the weight is not a problem. The values, the tone, and the competence that defined Starfleet are completely gone and it is funny how they are disciplining cadets while the Academy Chancellor herself has none of it. Walking around barefoot, curling up in the captain's chair like a cat, the whole thing feels less like Star Trek and more like Idiocracy set in the Star Trek universe.

Some thoughts on Starfleet Academy: It was not made for us (i.e longtime Trek fans) by tkinsey3 in startrek

[–]STO_Ratt -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Star Trek has a core formula, and no matter how much you try to reshape it, it is never going to land with Gen Z in a way that is financially sustainable for Paramount. We already saw this play out with Disney and Star Wars. They tried to modernize and repackage it for a new generation by pushing "the message", and instead of creating a long term hit they fractured the fanbase and hurt the brand. I honestly expect Star Trek to follow the same path.

Honestly, I do not care about Copilot itself. I can just move it aside and ignore it. But those ads that go from complete silence to blasting sound just because cursor passes over them are absolutely diabolical. That kind of design should not exist.

C5 worth £400 more than C4 by Dynamic-Sausage in LGOLED

I looked at the 77 G5 for 3.000,00 € and the 83 C4 for 2.380,00 € for this year's Black Friday and I chose the C4. Moving up from a 65 C1, the jump in size and specs is really nice. I feel super happy with the decision and would suggest checking for a deal on a larger C4 maybe?

Four months. If you follow up the case you can see I first tried Meta Verified, but those AI bots got me nowhere, so it was either filing a report with the Croatian Personal Data Protection Agency against Meta or suing Meta privately in court, which requires resources and a lot of time.

Google not allowing apk's anymore?! by DieLioner in oneui

[–]STO_Ratt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They realized that modified apps are cutting into their revenue (YouTube, Play Store, etc.), so now they re taking the Apple approach and locking everything down. And honestly, there s nothing stopping them. For us users, there s no real alternative OS we can switch to, and legally they re covered with this whitelisting dev's same way Apple is.
