You can easily download planet.osm, I think it’s a couple of TB for the compressed file.

Can’t really advise you on what to do, but here’s some conaiderations:

• I still use a 4th gen i7 with 16 GB ddr3 and a gtx970, still going fine in its 10th year. Just recently upgraded to a gtx1060 I found around • 10 years old techbology isn’t really any diffetent than today, only slower, but luckily architectural incompatibility is becoming less and less of a problem (except when it’s forced upon for no particular reason, see win11) • gpu especially are extremely backward and forward compatible, if you only need more VRAM, you can use a modern gpu with a very old mobo and cpu and chances are you’ll be as good, and even if you need to upgradr them later because you are cpu-bottleneck, you can still keep the gpu. I’m guessing in 90% of cases, pci lane speed is relatively unimportant wether it’s gen3 or gen5.

Basically, upgradr when you feel you are limited in what you can do, ignore the pressure caused by the generations passing by, as time goes on, I predict we’ll need less and less hardware upgrade until a nee revolutionary technology comes about that changes everything.

You probably get trasported in the middle of the Bell riots or just before the bombs start dropping

Didn’t know about that formula. Is it used behind the scene but never mentioned, or just used retroactively to explain the difference between the different series?

Isn’t this the sequel of the game that sparked the “stop killing videogames initiative?”

In Voyager and TNG it has been established that warp 10 is infinite velocity, that means the warp scale is not linear (the differencr between warp 9 and 8 must be higher than the difference between 8 and 7). After all, Voyager’s max speed of 9.975 is faster than Enterprise D’s 9.6.

Then again, warp speed has always been quite inconsistent, so who knows which scale they are using…

Not a good choice for a name, at first I though it was just another linux phone that would be useless for 90% of people.

Very cool project instead, hope this can lead the fondation for a 100% open source mobile OS.

I think the most “pirated” software ever would be WinRar. EVERYONE broke the terms of service by using it more than 30 days, and then simply closing the popup when it opened (and even if you found it annoying, there’s a simple licence file floating around that you can effortly use to get rid of the nag). Milions used it without paying the licence they should have, but WinRar didn’t care, because they are (were) ubiquitous and companies probably happily paid those licences for a software eveybody knew how to use.

This is just weird. Why make these changes? Customers don’t want it, the company doesn’t profit and they actually lost money and reputation by doing this and not backtracking. Who is benefiting from this? It looks like a perfect lose-lose situation

Someone got the link to the guy’s video installing windows 11 on a 2007 Sun Workstation by disabling the arbitrary checks?

I wonder what Mastercard and VISA think of this one. I would be tempted to buy it just to mess up with them.

I’m not only talking about electrical power, communication is also a form of power transmission over distance, they established thay for communication they don’t “constrain the signals in the wire, so they can be blocked from outside”, so I’d gueds they transmit everything wirelessly, including inter-person communication, diagnostics and commands to engines, which is crazy

Cable stranding is a common way to get a metal splinter, but they already established that copper cables are not used on a ship (which I find just unrealistic, you can’t just wirelessly power and transmit everysingle thing on a ship).

Not really the right community for it.

Also, obligatory Fuck Nintendo

People would be mad, SteamOS and M$ itself are already giving people enough to ditch windows, doing such a thing would make it even worse. It’s just better to try and convince publishers to only focus on Windows

About Pike’s hair, am I wrong or is vulcanian Pike’s hair even more erected than human Pike?

You are right, with 20+ episodes it’s easier to have a common theme while still being episodic enough to have episodes that don’t advance the plot but are either funny or explore some unrelated theme. 10 episodes season work for a serialized series (like discovery), but an episodic 10 episodes series is a hybrid of the two and more difficult to pull throught.

However, I still think they did a good job, the season was fun and enjoyable, and I don’t really care there’s no “big picture plot”. After all, this is not telling the voyage of a ship lost in the galaxy or a multi-year war with a foreign dominion, it’s a character build-up story that will eventually become the original series, it’s a prequel and doesn’t try to be anything else. Surely I enjoyed it more than galaxy-destroying-threat-of-the-year discovery.

Also, even if some more “experimental” episodes may be a little failed, I can surely appreciate the attempt and, even if more boring or over the top, at least they are memorable, si they have value.

The entire episode, while enjoyable, was prettt rushed, if it was split in a two-parts season finale they would probably fit in more explaination scenes, like at least an aknowledgement from Batel and some more explaining/exploration of what she was.

The villain is “evil itself”, I don’t really see a way to not make it one-dimensional, he is literally one thing only.

From what I get it, the fantasy/hallucination wss made by Batel for herself and Pike, because she knew they would never see again andshe (somehow, I guess that’s part of the Beholder superpower?) constructed a fake world so they could, in some way, live their life together. That’s why Pike didn’t suffer the accident, and that’s why Bayel thanks him on her deathbed and tells him to open the door. She got her life together with him, it was time to get back to reality and become the Guardian.

That’s also why the falling star happears in the planet, she told him she would follow everywhere in his heart, and a falling star happears (“here I am” she says in the fantasy life).
