Can someone clear something up for me as I’ve not yet been able to pause correctly…

When they are in “that place” and you hear the old Alexander Courage theme, what was in the container?

Cheers

Spoiler

Riker was looking at the Genisis Device V2

Raffi saw Kirk's remains

The other easter eggs,

I've seen rumours that Paramount+ are considering a new Trek show with Bad Robot called Star Trek Legends, but ONLY if Kurtzman has ZERO creative control over it...

Total rubbish. Kurtzman is firmly in charge of the TREK on TV and Bad Robot has absolutely nothing to do with it, they are limited to the feature film slate.

He is in charge regardless of which show.  He's the EP, it's more about who they get as show runners for the different series after that.  Either way, Discovery is done with it's next season, Picard is done with this one.  They'll have to do something to fill in the gap left behind by those 2 shows.   I expect something new, just not how much new.  We talking one new series or two?   I'd be down with a spin-off Titan-A series after this.  Maybe some Warf spy mini-series to.

Actually, one thing that got me wondering, since DISCO confirmed the existence of the kelvin universe, why hasn't there been mention of Spock's disappearance in PIC?

Only thinking this because the Kelvin/JJ Verse is still technically canon too due to DISCO...

Probably top secret.

More like they just don't want to keep reminding people of it... If they don't keep bringing it up, it can stay nicely vague.

No matter what they say there will people who complain.  I rather it left vague for when they are confident in an idea.

First Contact Day is coming up. The 4K UHD discs of the TNG films will be released that week, I also expect announcements about new projects.

I doubt it.  Reviews will tell.  

Don’t get me wrong, I’d love it to be good, and I do somewhat feel that the days of crappy cash grab upscales are behind us as a fad…

Me too.  I think they know Star Trek fans are extremely picky though.  They're selling to the true fans and must know a crappy remaster wont do.

Potential cash grab, may be a crappy upscale, hope not

All the TNG films were shot...on FILM. There is no upscaling being done here.

Not to mention, even 4K Discs of movies "locked" to 2K have better color, better compression, and HDR. There are very very few 4K titles that somehow look "worse" than their 2K Blu-ray versions, and even then a lot of time it's a display issue. Those 4K discs separate the good displays from the mediocre. 

The 4K masters have been shown in 1080p already on HBO MAX, and they look wonderful with the grain intact and not scrubbed away, as well as no edge enhancement.

It could get the Motion Picture treatment,  I don't own a bluray player, well, wait, I guess my Series X counts.  Still, I don't buy discs anymore.

Too bad, Video and audio is superior on disc.  Double/triple the video bitrate and the audio is lossless 7.1 rather than lossy 5.1 for the TREK films.

I bet there are some pretty high quality rips out there.   I don't think there's anything specifically locked to the disc that increases quality.

Yeah, if you don't mind stealing and making the market weaker for high quality releases. 🙄

      While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By +pmrd · Posted

      Lol are you mad because I'm not using AI? I'd rather pay people than lose a bunch of potential customers and get humilated because I used AI. A lot of people won't purchase a game if it used AI during development.
    • LibreWolf 152.0-1

      By Copernic · Posted

      LibreWolf 152.0-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 152.0-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 152.0 Release Notes Notable changes: The AppImages are now built on Codeberg along with the other releases We have decided to wait a bit longer to enable the settings redesign, due to use being aware of multiple upstream issues Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      "I know for a fact I'll never own one of these." This is why choice is better than government regulation. Globaly Android has something like 72% of the smartphone market. Granted the vast majority of that is low end phones. Apple can and should charge whatever they want. The market will decide if it is too much.
