Can’t you chuck it back into a reactor and reuse it that way, to help reduce the radioactivity, and get more power back out of it?

Or shut them down, given the recent debacle with Amazon shutting down someone’s account, disabling their devices in the process.

no headphone jack means you may need to purchase wireless headphones or earbuds and wireless earbuds don’t always have replaceable batteries

They’re also more expensive, even if fairphone does offer their own headphones.

A cheap set of decent wired earphones is $10. $30 if you want something nice, like an IEM.

Bluetooth headphones don’t tend to be quite as cheap, and are usually a good deal more.

Although you can’t both charge the phone/use pripherals, like a keyboard/mouse and use headphones in that case, unless you’re using one of the few phones with 2+ USB-C ports, and wireless charging can be cumbersome.

That sounds like a horrid decision. Imagine having to troubleshoot a relative’s computer, which isn’t working because their internet is down, or is too slow to support streaming Windows like that.

It just sounds like a nightmare all-round, both from a Microsoft Standpoint, since they would have to build all the hardware to support it, people who would have to troubleshoot an issue that might show up on either the local or networked version of Windows, but not both, and from a security standpoint, since it seems like it would make it a lot easier to just hijack the whole computer using that kind of mechanism, with the user being none the wiser, for the most part.

It’s also accessible with <WinKey> + ;. Not quite sure why Windows has multiple shortcuts for the same menu, but there we are.

Unless it’s using the Registry for some config values.

He thinks we are. I never thought about it before. Maybe in the case of some Reddit subreddits and other forums, but I don’t think so in general. I’ve got a lot great information from forums.

I agree that we’re not past the days of forums. Part of what made forums and Reddit great was that you knew that you were interacting with multiple people, and that a lot of information was filtered through some form of consensus. If the advice given was wrong, you usually had additional replies saying it was incorrect, and pointing out what was wrong, or the OP adding more information if asked/incorrect.

You can’t really do that as easily with blogs and things, both because it’s usually written by one person with presumably little verification (who may have unclear credentials if you’re not familiar with them, or that area of work), even before the rise of AI and auto-generated SEO blogs which say nothing useful with a lot of words.

From a usability standpoint, there is also something nice about a forum, since they’re usually not that terribly infested with ads, or things like algorithms designed to push content and keep people on the platform. You can just come and go as you please, although necroposting is usually frowned upon. At most, you might have some sorting that keeps the posts in chronological/activity order, but that’s about it.

At the same time, it might not fit them. Lemmy is a link aggregator, which seems like extra functionality that they don’t really need, not when existing forum software will do what they need, while also being more stable/mature.

But alternatively, imagine him as President of the Federation.

Kbin does supposedly have a mobile app planned, but nothing’s been done just yet.

The “StarTrek” community is also the default one, so anything goes there, until things get active enough to have to be shuffled to /c/Risa.

Since there’s not a lot of meme activity yet, things are probably fine for the time being.

Just go to /m/startrek@startrek.website on your kbin instance.

For Mastodon, the community shows up as a user, so you probably want to follow @startrek.

You basically treat it like a subreddit, with an extra bit at the end saying which site the community is on.

Otherwise, they’re usually intercompatible enough you can get away with replying to them without any unnecessary faff.

Kind of weird to think that the show was only one degree of freedom from regular politics, though.

He summoned the crystalline entity through unknown means, which came and turned the colonists into sand.

@JWBananas Kbin or Lemmy, anyway. The main community is technically over on Lemmy (although I personally prefer the kbin interface).

@CeruleanRuin Tap and hold?

Just look at Lore. He wiped out a colony, and could do far worse damage if he was both more competent and stable. It eventually escalated to the point where Data had to shut him down, due to the danger he posed to the rest of the Federation.
