Worf going through Puberty and the aggressive tendencies are most of what I remember from that film.

Well that and Worf Data and Picard singing Gilbert and sulivan

I’m surprised no one has mentioned Fight Club as a thing to rewatch with no memory that would be amazing.

For a film I’d want to erase cause it was awful I’d go with the last Jedi I genuinely hated that film. Or Star Trek into darkness hated that also.

Oh Christ I had completely forgot about that line

I remember going to see TLJ at Leicester Square on opening night me and my brother and sister all paid silly money relative to other cinemas and I just came out of it going I don’t know if I even like this while my brother was raving about how it was the best thing he’s seen in years lol

I think he got caught up in the moment.

Honestly it’s also like when I saw Star Trek 09 with a friend at the BFI imax and I came out of it with him having had the time of his life and the only positive thing I could say was “ I liked the music “

Depends on the time of the year,

During the summer I’d have one before and after work, during winter once a day or once every two days

I wouldn’t consider a 8700k or a 2080 super high level specs or even mid level right now.

Consider that an 8700k is slower than a 13400f today which is considered the absolute lower end of the mid range, realistically 13600k or 13700 is the mid range on the intel side.

To be blunt the 8700k is 5 years old.

The 2080s is well look at this chart and you make a decision https://startrek.website/pictrs/image/2d276779-ffde-42ed-be75-4e2cff5d2572.jpeg

I think a lot of people are just not appreciative of how out of date their hardware is relative to consoles atm

I’d only change one thing and say most of the problems for Iran started because of the UK/US being imperialistic and has never recovered as a result

It was the case prior to 2015 or so before the amd open source drivers actually became good.

They didn’t exist prior to 2014. Amd also required proprietary drivers and were a significantly worse experience than Nvidia back then.

The 200-300 range has been dead really since the 5600xt and the crypto boom.

Second hand at the 400 mark they’re insane with the 6800XT

And that is exactly why I bought an M2 Air this year, price vs performance nothing beats the MacBooks at the moment.

Acid, 9 months ago

I’m half way on that journey, went from Rpi4 to M2 Mac Mini to host docker stuff and god knows how much in hard drives.

Really should look at used ones

I have never understand exactly what it is that people need/desire/require out of Firefox that they find missing but which a Chrome based browser is providing them.

The ability to log into any computer on chrome and load my profile, which gives access to my bookmarks and passwords.

As someone who has 4 chrome profiles due to work remote managing 3 of them that I use daily, Firefox will never be able to handle that.

if Firefox had some sort of cloud sync that wasn’t oh hey you need to have multiple devices to make it work and just gave you a way to do it through the browser properly with even a paid option that would help.

That hasn’t really been my experience, talking to a lot of people tends to seem like most people seem closer to my age 30s with an interest in tech or a tech background.

I haven’t really run into many teenagers in discussions.

When my m2 air is eventually supported by linuxbproperly the debian installation will happen.

Honestly I bought YouTube premium through a VPN to turkey for that price for the entire year. Seems worth it.

AD Free YouTube is great tbh, it is generally a good experience no matter what device you use then throw in the claim it supports the content creators more seems like win win

I used IRC daily religiously for 15 years, but around 2011 I just stopped and never got back into using it. The client of choice was Xchat.

Yeah Steve steve and Wendell would be an amazing trio, Gordon is also really good but he can be a bit rage heavy for me

I don’t think the size difference works in the favour of lmg.

If gamers nexus puts out pretty much industry leading day one reviews out on every launch with 5-6 people and LMG with labs and 100+ employees can’t then there’s something wrong.

GN has a point LMG shits out videos without QC and it’s starting to bite them of late. The water block review is the perfect example of just being stupid. Why not just test the item with the right product and judge it for what it is as opposed to turning it into a joke review where no matter what the product is going to look bad.

The short circuit thing with the mouse is also a bit ridiculous.

But the charts are the main thing, I’ve noticed it myself over the years that lmg charts made no sense relative to gamers nexus or HUb or even jayz 2 cents which meant something was wrong with the testing.

Cause I use an Apple TV and an iPhone?

Acid, 9 months ago

Sure and with that trade off I have a rock solid experience with no issues at all.

Sometimes you get tired of android and the jank and want shit that just works so you can get on with your day and just focus on other things.

I haven’t needed to tech support on any of my Apple stuff in the entire time I’ve owned them, I have at home both a Linux server and a Mac mini running as a headless server. Guess how many times I’ve had to fix the Mac mini 0.

My iPhone I’ve had 0 issues with and my M2 Air which I use for work has had 0 issues.

I don’t really see a situation where the sorting out a mac would be troublesome it’s pretty much all simple as hell.

Oh and fun fact, I have done tech support for apple stuff on a daily basis as part of my job as a store manager of a retail tech store and I’m constantly thrown problems from Android/iOS Devcies as well as MacOS, Linux & Windows Devices and guess which ones give me the most problems.

lack of easy access to advanced utilities

Me and you have very different experiences to this, at work I’ve found MacOS the easiest of the three to sort out.

I’ll give you a recent windows example, A PC comes in for repair with a b450 MSI board no audio on the Front panel or the rear I/O. Naturally we install all the drivers off the MSI web page except windows won’t even detect the sound card. Throw on a Linux USB live environment instantly detected.

Naturally we’re like no worries let’s use the inbuilt Windows tool to reset the PC with a cloud download, nope that doesn’t fix it. Required a complete reinstall from a USB. This was windows 10 22h2 iirc.

At work I see Windows/Mac/Linux daily and Windows, gives me the most trouble on a daily basis. With Mac/Linux most things you can fix from the terminal pretty quickly, or with Mac just use the inbuilt reset tool no matter how much a customer fucks up their machine.
