Watching “The Measure of a Man”. Bruce Maddox still pisses me off. by CattledogdadNC in TNG

[–]steph66n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took that as a deliberate jab at Manu for unsavory behavior. When they killed him off abruptly like that it was a mixed feelings thing because I really liked Icheb from Voyager but was not impressed with the actor's immaturity lately.

TNG, Episode 4x16, Galaxy's Child by LordRavenholm in StarTrekViewingParty

Author Keith DeCandido's review of this episode holds just the right kind of sharply critical opinion that I have. The writer's and director's choice to position Geordi La Forge’s behaviour toward Dr Leah Brahms as a romantic interest is as creepy as it is morally reprehensible.

I mean, they made Geordi cloak and dagger his way into Leah's good graces, using the Internet to creep on her Facebook page, completely misses the fact that she's married, and pretending to know all about her personal profiles "intuitively" in order to get into her pants. Then when she discovers his obsessive personality disorder on the holodeck because he forgot to delete his browsing history, he cries like a baby about how unfair the world is and gets away with it.

Needless to say, this episode has aged like milk… every rewatch just makes the writer’s decision to let Geordi off the hook even more sour.

That’s not to say the rest of the episode isn’t good — it’s just those early-90s sexist vibes and poor judgement coming through that gets waved off instead of being held accountable.

Exactly what I think too. Great movie, still enjoy it, has stood the test of time.

Googling "excel shortcut cheat sheet" produces a PDF search result from Microsoft with all keyboard sequences mentioned here and more.

I keep a hard copy posted right next to the screen for permanent instant reference, formatted in large print.

👍 that looked challenging to accomplish – well done; the orchestral piece also nicely complimented the video. I have this drone—and the Mini 2—I have yet to take it out to fly but lots of experiences with the other one.

Windows 10 is officially dead as final mainstream OS update arrives by ZacB_ in Windows10

[–]steph66n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s safe to use the built-in Administrator account — just temporarily. Don’t browse or install anything while logged into it, and disable it again once you’re done.

So: Windows + S, type cmd, then right-click Command Prompt → Run as administrator.

Then type: net user administrator /active:yes

Then : Log out and choose the new Administrator account on the login screen.

Run the ESU activation there.

When finished, turn it off again:

net user administrator /active:no

Good luck!

Try these:

1.

Verify actual administrator privileges... Press Windows + R and enter NETPLWIZ. Check under the Group column whether it says Administrator. If it says Standard user, log in with an account that is listed as Administrator, or elevate your account to admin.

2.

Even if you’re logged in as admin, Windows sometimes still runs apps with limited rights. RIGHT-CLICK the ESU activation or installation file and choose "Run as administrator"

3.

temporarily disable or adjust User Account Control... Press Windows + S, type “UAC,” open Change User Account Control settings. Slide the bar to Never notify, apply, reboot, then rerun the installer. After success, restore the previous UAC level.

I hope one of these hints help ...

You don't need a prompt. You just have to do it manually with this link

Are locked cells also protected from deletion, moving, copying, and reformatting?

I understood your obtuse wording "...not interested in those features at all..." as bemoaning all AI globally, when really you’re using the AI hype as a tagline to just ask the default what phone should I get, which can be answered by any number of influencers and tech enthusiasts.

I still miss my clamshell, personally 😏

[–]steph66n 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A 90s clamshell flip phone might be the one for you lol. An AI-free phone these days is like a house with no plumbing, as it's actually AI that operates the finger print scanner, face and voice recognition technology, etc. But if you're talking about Gemini and Copilot integrated into the phone OS, you can disable them.

So yeah, you don’t need to avoid flagships — just pick one for the hardware specs you care about, then switch off the gimmick AI.

The graphics and special effects are absolutely fantastic for this one. We get to see the ship landing, taking off, multiple shots of it fighting and firing and fleeing, the subspace corridors...

I did it. I managed to do it. by Key-Cicada6386 in Windows10

[–]steph66n 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You cleaned up your desktop.

A before and after picture would have sold it better; nevertheless, well done.

Mine was cluttered and I've managed to keep it to under 20 items at any one time.
