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It's a bit sad that a really well designed handheld device became useless due to outdated software.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.
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.
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.

I watched the two episode #BattlestarGalactica miniseries from 2003 today, and I have some mixed feelings (though mostly positive). For some reference, I grew up watching every #StarTrek show from TOS through ENT (except the animated series. Never found enough interest to try it). The #Stargate shows also hold a special place in my heart (I absolutely love every sound the gates make).
Regarding Battlestar Galactica, I like the way they handle information on the bridge and the ship. It's interesting to see something that massive designed for cyber warfare. Wireless technology is almost completely rejected. Systems that must communicate over a distance are either wired (the intercoms) or air-gapped (ship-to-ship radios). There's binders, printouts, and dry-erase boards everywhere.
I do think their radio systems could use some more explanation… Maybe I missed them addressing this, but I would be concerned about the Cylons impersonating other ships. Even if the ship systems can't be compromised by the radio, the humans could still be manipulated. At one point they "verify" a message, but I'd really like to know what that entails…
The space cinematography reminded me a lot of #StargateUniverse. Shaky, long distance shots that quickly zoom in on something. Not sure if that was just the style at the time, but I find it kinda nostalgic.
On a similar note… Is 2000s sci-fi just oddly horny? I don't think I've seen enough shows to actually make that judgement. It just sticks out at me that the similarities between BSG and SGU include sexual scenes that I feel don't quite fit or aren't actually needed. There's already plenty of sources for drama and conflict in those shows; do you really need to graphically add in sexual relationships as another?
Anyways… I did enjoy the miniseries! Probably going to watch the show as well.
Un #JeuVidéo réalisé intégralement par des fans, bénévoles, gratuit et librement téléchargeable, dans la franchise #Stargate a été nuké par #Amazon et #MGM.
Très probablement car #StargateTimekeepers devait être annoncé et aucune concurrence ne saurait exister !
Ah au fait, Timekeepers était sensé sortir il y a 3 jours. Il a été reporté.
Petite ITW de Vaitiare Hirshon, actrice emblématique de #Stargate SG-1 dans le rôle de Sha're. Vaitiare étant née en Polynésie française, à Tahiti, elle parle couramment français et c'est sa 1ère ITW sur Stargate dans cette langue.
Ich habe #Stargate bisher immer nur bis einschließlich Staffel 8 gesehen. Das O'Neill danach weg ist war für mich immer der Punkt, an dem Überzeugung 1 bestätigt wurde.
Nun schaue ich es das erste Mal weiter. Staffel 9 war ziemlich gut und ich bin gerade mit Folge 9 Staffel 10 durch. Und ich bin echt verblüfft, wie gut mir die Serie immer noch gefällt.
Sie haben die anderen Charaktere so gut über 8 Staffeln aufgebaut, dass die Serie auch ohne die Hauptperson funktioniert. So viele Charaktere sind weggefallen, aber mit Samantha Carter, Daniel Jackson und Teal'C hat die Serie immer noch so extrem viel Charakter.
Mitchell ist cringey, aber das war O'Neill auch. Und sie haben es auch hier geschafft ihn likable zu machen. General Landry ist ebenso ein guter Ersatz für Hammond.
Keine Ahnung, wie es endet (Ich will es nicht wissen, wer spoilert wird instant geblockt), aber ich freue mich schon auf die letzten 11 Folgen.
Irgendwie passend und beruhigend, dass die beste Serie aller Zeiten es schafft über Staffel 8 hinaus gut zu bleiben. ☺️
