I'm guessing the crime is how they got the movie.

According to the publication, police discovered that the leaker gained unauthorized remote access to the server on which the animated film was stored, leading him to allegedly download and upload clips of the film online.

This happened in Singapore I guess, but assuming they have similar laws to the US than this would be unlawful access of a computer system.

It's an older meme, Sir, but it checks out.

ohhh haha i didnt see that, fair.

had no clue it was from TikTok until you said something

lol when I first started watching DS9 I just could not get past the idea that Sisko was commanding an interstellar truck stop/motel.

Oh yeah, for sure. I'm all for more solar. I just hope the scientists continue their research and figure out a way to make the panels without quite so much lead. Or at least make sure the lead can't leech back into the environment.

All I'm saying is it would make more sense to put them over agricultural land than in parking lots.

Solar panels are less efficient the hotter they get. Heat makes the electrons in the panel bounce around more at rest, which means they can't be excited as much from the sun. Throwing them in a concrete desert with hot cars parked underneath would probably affect their performance significantly.

If that's true, the problem would be storing and transporting it. Sending electricity via wires is massively inefficient and limited in range.

Except that agrivoltaics works out being better for the crops and the panels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agrivoltaics

The crops part is similar to why grass grows better under trampolines. https://youtu.be/CoDn-1rGcpk

Oh yeah, I forgot he actively removed it. All this episode was missing was a scene of Picard crawling through a jefferies tube in one of those Voyager-style tank tops.
