The computer and electronics super geek thread
azrael replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Windows, for the most part, lacks the ability to import configuration files of the *nix-family of OS. With Windows, you can copy over configuration files but it doesn't always come over cleanly nor does it cover some UI stuff. That's where Group Policy (sorry Home-edition users, no GPOs for you), reg hacks and a slew of other stuff comes in. -
What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
Dangard Ace replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Frieren is always good. Watched Heroic Age cause I wanted some sort of space opera....I really don't like the character designs and the characters never felt like they were in any danger of anything. Hell Mode: wasn't exactly hell mode. MC is just breezing through everything. Started Yamato 3199 since new episodes dropped. Darwin - really need to get around to watching this. Saw a clip of monkey boy just owning a bunch of assassins. Seemed cool. Dead Account.....ehhhh. The main character annoys me. Think I'm gonna drop it. -
That's looking amazing @Papa Rat - looks like a modern kit, can't believe how well you've resurrected those old 80's kits. I just goes to show its not the kit but the person behind the knife! Wow! I'm loving your display cases and all that amazingly cool stuff!!! @derex3592

Government insider guy understands... but presumably only because he's government insider guy who knew about the aliens to begin with. I'd assume Joe Average on the street is just hearing the newscaster lose the fight with her breakfast burrito.

That looks REALLY good! I have the HM-R's and it looks just like those! After a month of crazy work I've finally had time to breath, get some rest and start filling in my cabinets again, finally after almost a year after house renovations.. LOL... it's going to be a bit of a hodgepodge of everything 80s and SciFi for a while but hey at least everything is out of packing boxes! . Only the tip of the iceberg... 🤣 Looooong way to go, but I also had time for some actually modeling today and got the packs bags and tarps painted up for the 1/35 Bradley. Tomorrow... More USS Texas updates hopefully!

Your Most Recent General Toy Purchase - 2024 Edition
Thom replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Two new purchases for me. The last one (for now) of my sword purchases, is this one from Swordier. Full tang, spring-steel blade, the largest of swords I've bought so far. Trying to think of a good name for it.- 1121 replies

This! You don't realize how many little things are "essential" for daily usage until "something doesn't work like you're used to" and you curse whatever developer made "the stupid way" the default behavior of Win 10/11 and now you have to figure out how to change it yet again... Until it's "how I want it", it's just A computer and not MY computer. -
This poster bothers me because it doesn't clarify the Hollywood Theatre referenced isn't in Hollywood, CA but in fact in Portland, OR. I just feel like it should be clear lol.

He’s definitely impressive. I think that’s the Godzilla that truly is a frightening concept. Not so much for those that deal with him, but the fact that he’s pretty close to unkillable and the more he exists, the more his own body tortures him with his own growth. He’s like a giant constantly healing open wound that only gets worse the better he gets- 1121 replies

Potentially. Of course, that would require them to put a lot more thought into the story than they did. The only thinking the showrunners and writers seem to have done is coming up with a string of weak excuses to handwave away the aspects of Star Trek's far future that would have otherwise made the central conflict of their story irrelevant or laughably easy to resolve. Y'know, like why anyone is using warp drive when they've had better alternatives for around 800 years or why the Federation Temporal Agency didn't simply look back in time to find the origin of the Burn or ret-gone the event from the timeline. But all of those things would have diminished or eliminated Michael Burnham's ability to be The Messiah and singlehandedly Save The Universe. The whole plot was in service of Burnham's in-universe savior complex and the writers determination to make her the franchise's Main Character. Pretty much anything to do with fast sublight or faster-than-light travel or communication depends on subspace in Star Trek. Early impulse drives used subspace fields to cheat the ship's inertial mass down so fusion rockets could push the ship up to a decent fraction of c. Late impulse drives (TNG era and beyond) are basically sublight warp drives. Warp drives use subspace fields to expand and compress space to move the warp bubble through space at FTL speeds. A conventional transwarp drive is just a more potent version of that. Coaxial warp drives use a conventional warp field to fold space. Transwarp conduits and wormholes are essentially tunnels in subspace connecting two or more points in the universe. Quantum slipstream ships are basically a Star Trek hyperdrive where the ship travels through subspace. FTL sensors and comms are subspace-based, and transporters use subspace to send the matter stream to/from its destination. That why, in Voyager the Omega Directive was a By Any Means sort of special order. If subspace goes bye-bye thanks to omega particles then pretty much everything modern civilization depends for travel and communication goes bye-bye. YUP.
