Man, I love the original #Stargate movie. I decided to rewatch it while doing laundry. It really is the perfect “popcorn movie”.
Ra being portrayed as a Danger Twink certainly doesn’t hurt it, either… 🤭
(Really I just love the music, though. https://youtu.be/SnWUFyRHwTQ?si=PazqCAb6jH8hXNRc )
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It's a bit sad that a really well designed handheld device became useless due to outdated software.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.
@acejacek I couldn't get a position lock, outside with a good visibility of the sky.
It locked 2 block IIF sats, but couldn't lock to a block III sat that was at a similar angular alt. I don't know if there are any differences between those, or just bad luck. Also I don't know what the rollover does to the coordinates.
If someone wants to play with it, to check if it's still possible to get a valid lock - have fun. But I don't want to over promise on the functionality.
@makdaam are you positive it’s software fluke? Sounds like a hardware issue. Just dug out my ancient gps logger from Wintec and it still fixes position correctly.
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!
@TritTriton Leur dynamique est rigolote mais Radek aurait eu besoin d'être un peu plus développé pour être vraiment intéressant (il existe jamais vraiment en dehors de ses disputes de vieux couple avec McKay)
@Octavia Et pourtant, il a ses fans : en 2005 (YouTube n’existait pas encore), j’avais récupéré une AMV qui lui était dédiée (je l’ai toujours : un bon vieux WMA en 428 × 240, même pas 12 Mio, la vidéo !).
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.
@fedithom Noch ein Tipp für Staffel 1 falls sie nicht verfügbar werden will: Amazon hat Stargate mit Werbung auf Freevee. Dafür braucht es kein Prime. @ucas@chevronten@slesa
