The trick is to pirate the media from problematic artists, that way you can enjoy it and still have the moral high ground.

This guy isn't kidding about the garage door springs. I had some of the old style ones in my old garage that broke and launched a piece of metal across the garage right past my head and made a giant dent in a 2x4. Those things are vicious.

From a Star Trek perspective, when they have to eject the (warp) core they are also in for a pretty bad time.

There's someone out there selling great aunt Beatrice's car. 2006, 77000 miles. Drove to church and the grocery store once a week.

Hang in there!

I've got 110-130 dollars that says people will buy it anyway and the publisher will make a fortune.

There's a new proof of concept malware that when an AI processes it causes arbitrary code execution and spreads itself to everyone on the victims email list.

This requires no input from the user

Yes please put more of this crap into every crevice of the OS.

Another casualty of the Warner/Discovery clusterfire it seems.

Not that Rooster Teeth were bastions of well-run businesses but still. If you have a favorite Warner or Discovery movie or show better get the DVD before its too late.

All I see around is old Cisco enterprise stuff and 1000 would be a low price for that. Not to mention the potential for quite loud fan noise.

Unifi has one with 10 gig uplinks for the same price as used Cisco stuff and it has poe also. Still 1600 bucks though.

Lets just say that the theme song is so bad, that I was burning through every Star Trek show my first time watching. Next Gen-Boom, TOS-POW, Voyager-Ehh OK!, Deep Space Nine-WOAH. Then when I got to Enterprise I had such a visceral reaction to the theme song on the first episode that I never continued the show. Its a very stupid reason I know, but its my reason, and I am going to need a much more compelling reason ever to return.

We need a "Star Wars Despecialized Editon" of Enterprise where the only thing they change is the theme song.

Edit: Alright everyone you talked me into it, my local library has the Enterprise DVDs so I'll give them a go. And I'll even listen to the theme song. 🖖

It's even funnier when you hear the Sisko's initial description of the defiant.

It's a warship, nothing more, nothing less.

And also

No families, no science labs, no luxuries of any kind...

Meanwhile it's almost as big as the OG Enterprise which did in fact have a regulation size bowling alley inside.

So all that space, basically just for engines and guns on the Defiant.
