If anyone is interested, I'm giving this old #GPS receiver away for shipping costs from Germany.
It's a Garmin eTrex (the first one from 1999-2002). It has an IPX7 case, a 64 x 128 4 level grayscale LCD display with a backlight. GPS doesn't work anymore due to the GPS week rollover, other components work great.
It's a bit sad that a really well designed handheld device became useless due to outdated software.
It was also a prop "scanner" in #Stargate SG-1 if someone does cosplay.
My latest binge watch is the 1997 Canadian series Stargate SG-1 after I accidentally saw the black hole swallowing the planet episode off-air at a friend's place.
It ran 10 years and spawned 2 sequel series and some specials.
Once you get over how every alien planet looks like British Columbia and I guess the Earth vegetation got transplanted with all the humans, huh, it's not a bad watch.
Good cast, reasonable production values for the era, more consistent writing than most shows: recommend.
An extremely expensive supercomputer is going to be built in the Arizona desert by a multibillion dollar corporation for the purposes of creating a super intelligence and it's not even a movie... 😂 #Stargate#OpenAI#Microsoft#AI
Wait, are people getting money just for pairing random #scifi concepts with #AI? Well, let me tell you my amazing idea for using an Oscillation Overthruster to bring #MachineLearning to the eighth dimension!
Ok, liebe #StarGate Bubble. Ich habe gerade entdeckt, dass die #StadtBibliothek in #Saarbrücken SG-1 Staffel 1 bis 10 hat. Staffel 1 ist aktuell ausgeliehen, dafür wäre Star Gate Atlantis verfügbar.
Zwei Fragen:
Macht Atlantis Sinn, wenn man SG1 nicht kennt?
Und (noch wichtiger) endet SG1 nach der 10. vernünftig? Laut Wikipedia wurde sie "eingestellt", was Spielraum für Spekulationen lässt. Serien ohne vernünftiges Ende nerven mich, fühlen sich nach verschwendeter Lebenszeit an.
As not a role model I endorse this horror vs fantasy theory of writing.
But what if when you go through the portal, the portal also goes through you? 😜 😆
I'm watching #Lucy again (nth time) and I realised something I didn't before.
All our #scifi about man becoming very intelligent and/or “accessing more of our brain capability” leads to us losing our emotions and turn robotic. Like in #Fringe (remember Season 05).
Another example is in #StarGate, not humans exactly, but the Asgard hinted that they once were like humans, full of emotions. However, when they reached their current level of intelligence and brain processing, it all went away.
Dlaczego seria #Stargate umarła? Stargate Universe miało ten mroczny klimat i mega potencjał.

They did one "crossover" with "#Alien vs #Predator", they could either send Predator to the Alien home world for The Ultimate Conflict", or maybe a Predator/#Stargate crossover where humans travel to the Predator's home world?
