Criticism of Discovery? Perish the thought.  🙄   Series tries but it's just not as important as it thinks it is. Paramount properties are falling victim to thinking virtue-signalling is uh, paramount. Au Contraire.

There's a group who likes Discovery and watches it, just like there's a group who likes one of the others.  I think it's clear the plan has been to air different types of shows and grab fans of those types.   Hate on Discovery all you want but it's going into it's 5th season (might be it's last or not, don't know), and these shows aren't cheap to make for Paramount.  It must have enough viewers to keep going, or a show would get canned quick.

No one said anything about 'hate' so of course one has to ask why you did you do that? Actually loved the Lorca story arc and would have liked to have seen more, perhaps if writers felt up to it, his terran double could have turned up. Disco's far-flung-future storyline is altogether curious. Seems to me.

Anyone knows who that lady is and who the old man with the antique gun is?

The lady is new, the old man is Moriarty from TNG.

wait wait WAIIIIIITTTT a minute... how is... Lore.... wtf?!

He was never distroied or anything.  Just turned off last we saw him in TNG.   Easy to assume someone who didn't know any better turned him back on.

After deactivating him Data told Picard "He must be disassembled so that he is no longer a threat".

And... wasn't his pieces stored in Data's quarters on the Enterprise-D?

It looks great... but why are they giving all this away in the the trailer. All those surprise reveals would have been so much better 😢

Maybe they have some bigger surprises 🤷‍♂️

That doesn't mean he's destroyed though.   Someone with some time could've put him back together.

I'm getting a Reman feeling from that enemy ship

I did as well, which makes things interesting.    Though it could just be the general look of it being close.  

WOW!  Great to see Moriarty and Lore again.

 

We know Denise Crosby is supposedly coming back, so.

Spoiler

The antagonist could be her daughter either from Romulus or from Yesterday’s Enterprise

Or this lady could be related to Shinzon. She could be his sister, or someone related to him that wants revenge for the events of Nemesis. After all, she seems

to know Picard quite well. As far as Lore is concerned. Never judge a book by its cover. Lore could very well turn out to be a good guy this time around. Trailers are designed to fool you into thinking one thing when the reality is another. We shall see. I can’t wait.

They've been making more and more ST Online ships cannon in Picard.     I don't think the F is as good as the E if we compare the two.  But it might grow on me with time.   At this point we don't even know how long it's in the series for anyway.

Shinzon was a clone of Picard, grown specifically as part of a plan to replace Picard and plant a spy in the Federation, which later got abandoned and he was thrown into the mines on Remus to die... There was no sister.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
    • I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs by Sayan Sen While Microsoft has been trying to improve it, Windows 11 is definitely not flawless, as even today some issues are taking a year to publicly acknowledge. However, one area of trouble that may finally see much better results soon is graphics driver crashes. Work on graphics driver timeouts, also called Timeout and Detection Recovery (TDR), is not new as the latest WDDM 3.2 also has specific improvements regarding it. Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) version 3.2 is supported on Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2. However, with the upcoming version 26H2, TDR crash diagnosis could go to the next level as Microsoft is introducing a new DirectX 12 API feature called "DirectX Dump Files". Similar to how system memory dump files work when a system crashes or freezes or encounters any such major issue, DirectX Dump Files (DDF) will essentially record a snapshot of the GPU execution right at the moment a graphics-related crash or hang or freeze occurs, so that developers can better understand and diagnoze these TDR and timeout detection errors. The dump will be available as a .dxdmp file for analysis and it will be a comprehensive dump file generated with detailed insights about the hardware, drivers, Windows, as well as the affected application. This should be another welcome change in this department. Earlier at GDC 2026, when the technology was first debuted, Microsoft had shared more details regarding it. The company had explained how DDF is designed to gather data from every layer of the graphics stack into a single file, eliminating the need for developers to manually correlate logs from multiple tools. As mentioned above, the dump can contain a lot of useful details like GPU hardware state information such as register values, shader program counters, page fault virtual addresses, shader memory data, and command buffers. Alongside that, it also captures DirectX runtime and kernel information, including D3D objects, pipeline state objects, device error data, adapter details, and CPU call stacks. Microsoft says the feature has been built around two primary use cases: retail device removals and local device removals. The former allows developers to collect crash information from end users' systems in the field, while the latter helps QA teams and developers investigate issues on test machines. Developers will also be able to include up to 2 MB of custom application data through new D3D12 APIs, providing additional context for troubleshooting. In addition, Microsoft is introducing three dump collection modes ranging from zero-overhead capture, which has no runtime performance impact on supported hardware, to higher-detail modes that collect more vendor-specific debugging data. On compatible Tier 2 hardware, zero-overhead dumps will be enabled by default, meaning developers may begin receiving useful crash diagnostics without making any code changes. The table below explains the three tiers: Tier Description NO_OVERHEAD Enables crash capture with no runtime cost and is suitable for broad deployment MEDIUM_OVERHEAD Provides a balance, capturing additional diagnostic data with moderate impact HIGH_OVERHEAD Collects the most detailed GPU and driver state available, enabling deeper investigation at the cost of higher runtime overhead In terms of availability, the company expects broader release to be around the fall of 2026, which should be right around the time when Windows 11 version 26H2 lands. Right now, DirectX Dump Files are available as a preview and currently, only AMD has the compatible AgilitySDK Developer Preview driver version 26.10.07.02. You can find the official announcement post here on Microsoft's website.
