I’ve been debating starting the Expanse book series. I was a huge fan of the show but never read the books. Watched the whole series twice now. Is it recommended to star at book 1 or would it be advised to start at like book 7 so it follows the series?

I would be far more supportive of Android if it didn’t feel like they were trying to recreate the closed Apple system. Android phones have spotty update releases for limited times. If I could just throw on a vanilla Android OS and still get the apps it would be cool. From what I understand, many apps and app stores in the Android ecosystem won’t allow a vanilla OS as it has to be packaged from the vendor.

Just finished book 1 of Old Man’s War and am 1/3 through Ghost Brigades now. I am enjoying the series and happy that it’s got some long legs with the number of books available.

I hope it’s like Jellyfin just streaming their videos. That would be kinda fun. I’m guessing the point is to drive excitement of space. I would watch it as a central source for info.

How did drones get in that close to Moscow? It could be partisan activity or special ops cross border. Not sure what drones would have the range to hit Moscow from Ukraine.

For me it’s always about the features and innovations of a new phone. The latest iPhone offers SOS mode via satellite and if it could be used for limited texting and whatnot when out of cell range I probably would have upgraded. As it stands, there is really zero compelling reason to upgrade unless my phone is at end of life. This is going to continue to be a trend until the next big features come out. What is the purpose of the upgrade? What new features sell it? My camera is good enough, the battery is doing fine, the phone looks the same as every other phone externally. Just like the PC, upgrade cycles will become longer as the hardware lasts longer. This is where these companies need to start relying on their creativity to come up with some new and compelling reasons to drive upgrades.

Better copy this comment in preparation to paste next year when we hit the hottest year again. May just create a bot myself to do so. I mean one of these days humanity will take it serious right????

This is one of my favorite Star Trek episodes I can recall watching in the past few years. Loved the crossover and had no idea what was coming as I hadn’t heard anything prior. Had to scroll through Lemmy to find a post about it just to comment that I loved it.

Sounds about right. I am curious if anyone here has a Tesla and what the orange experience looks like when the battery reaches <50%.

You hear about so many places getting breached that have now leaked out hashed passwords. At least this site had the foresight to use a modern hashing algo like argon2. So many have had weak hashes and could at least take a page out of proper hashing from this. They could have misconfigured argon2 properties but I’m thinking that as long as they at least used the default method, it will give the decent protection from cracking.

Xeon gang in the house. I picked up an HPE with an E5-2650 v4 on eBay with 64GB memory and some spinning disks for $180. Best investment I have made. It’s the z640 tower so pretty quiet and doesn’t need a rack. Core count has made my life a whole lot easier.
