FormerGameDev,

perhaps some aspect of her job requires it?

FormerGameDev,

I’d guess Zora didn’t want to run the DOTs to clean things up anymore

FormerGameDev,

loss prevention officer = someone that works in the security department. what’s the question?

FormerGameDev,

I’m told that’s Bigfoot with a hat on.

FormerGameDev,

On rewatch, I wonder if he was on the way to suggesting someone like Book when he was interrupted

Agree with this, it seemed like he was using Book for context, not for a real suggestion. Saru respects what Booker has done for everyone, but I don’t think he’s a real big fan of the guy, and certainly doesn’t think he should be the XO of a Federation ship.

I could be wrong, though

FormerGameDev,

that… looks like it was a 480p source, playing on a 720 display.

Yeah, it might be just slightly higher quality than the broadcasts originally were, but not much.

FormerGameDev,

Darmok, his spear thrown too early.

FormerGameDev,

I think a large number of people have gone back to the places they came from… :| :| :|

FormerGameDev,

They were looking for clues to the attacks on the ships, playing the part of party girls to get in places they probably normally wouldn’t be able to. They went full into it when they got near T’Lyn

FormerGameDev,

wouldn’t the Romulans entering the neutral zone also be an act of war, though? that’s kinda the point of a neutral zone – neither side can enter.

FormerGameDev,

I’m not sure if there is or not, but it seems like there should be a way to link a post that links to it on whatever instance of Lemmy we’re on instead of hard linking to the main… hmmm

FormerGameDev,

" … delinquents, pirates, slave traders." (DSC s1e15, although the same perception about Orions is held throughout Star Trek).

It seems that Orion culture internally looks down on those who want to be in the sciences, but it’s Tendi’s grandmother that shows the galaxy that they are not all just pirates. Some several years after DSC S1, in SNW S2.

FormerGameDev,

Collectively, each of the races in Star Trek have their own thing that they do. Individually, some lean more into it than others, but that’s the way they go, pretty much.

FormerGameDev,

In this one, it looked an awful lot like they got dusted, to me.

FormerGameDev,

So… what’s up with the big bad ship of destruction? Any thoughts?

FormerGameDev,

… hello?

Voyager and Paramount Plus

I just started watching Voyager on Paramount Plus today, and noticed that the first two episodes, which are shown together, are presented as the appropriate 4:3 aspect ratio, but Episode 3 “Parallax” is presented in a distorted 16:9 or 16:10 format. I see no option to change this in Paramount Plus settings, and my Vizio TV...

FormerGameDev,

hmmm. i have an old LG smart TV (webOS v1), I wonder if it would be possible to sideload the Paramount app to it, somehow, and see if it would work… I think it’s currently flagged as requiring webOS v3+

FormerGameDev,

In terms of our current computers, you’re probably looking at something like yottabytes … but they don’t seem to store things in bytes at this point, as others say, quads. Which could mean that they’ve knocked the basic storage unit size from ‘byte’ to ‘4 bytes’ … A current 64-bit system can address 16 exabytes of memory, but if you were to knock that upward by an exponent of 4, you could address 65k exabytes, or 0.06 yottabytes.

That’s if we’re talking about memory capacities. Warm storage capability / use tends to be significantly larger than memory use, so I’d hazard a guess that the total storage capacity of a starship’s computers might be in the area of a few yottabytes.

This is assuming that “quad” is used because more space was required for memory architecture, and rather than upgrade to 128-bit or 256-bit computers, necessitating a huge amount of code refactoring, they just increased the minimum storage length. Of course, that would also realistically require a huge amount of code refactoring, but we’re all just making stuff up here, right? :D

FormerGameDev,

The message, I think, is “When Spock tells you you’re being an asshole, stop doubling down on being an asshole, or you lose it all”.

Or more generally, “This is an example of being an asshole. Don’t be like this.”

FormerGameDev,

I don’t think that was supposed to be Kirk, it was credit as just “Captain”.

FormerGameDev,

No, the message is that if you continue being an asshole, you don’t actually get what you want, and everyone dies in the end.

FormerGameDev,

Was Spock Amok broadcast after the Prodigy ep with Janeway and Dal swapping?

FormerGameDev,

the erasure of Prodigy is working apparently :(

/s

Seriously, thanks for your great attention to detail!

FormerGameDev,

It’s a California class. Low budget. :D

FormerGameDev,

I love all Star Trek.
