If you go looking for it so this you can be annoyed, then it’s there. If you accept that it’s part of life in the real world and so artistic representation would be odd to not have it then it’s less of a problem and just more character and world building.

Character introductions.  No release date so far.

 

Is it just me who can't see the video?  Or did they pull it?   Time to fire up the VPN and find out.

 

*edit* Can't seem to watch it, that's some top level region locking going on I guess.

No problems for me and I just played it.

Did she say Noonien-Singh? As in Kahn Noonien-Singh... interesting.

I was thinking the same when I saw the name.  It will be interesting to see how if at all she plays into Kahn's history.

Probably just a descendant at the most and a way to poke some more nostalgia at older fans.   Khan controlled a chunk of the world from what I remember back in his time, I figure he had quite the harem and loads of kids etc.

They canonized Uhura first name and gave Number 1 a full name.

They could have some fun with Kahn history... maybe that's why Bashir had such a worry about being kicked from service... augments were banned from Starfleet, but we never had any hard evidence as to why, outside of course knowing how they act in a TOS episode/movie (which haven't happened yet in SNW).. And Enterprise Arc. But I expect some character struggles if she is an augment/genetically enhanced that maybe shine more light on to that policy.

DS9 also shows the issues with genetic modification but the main reason they're banned is because of the Eugenics War, which has never actually been covered on screen...

Side note: I'm curious if S2 of Picard will reference that, since they appear to be traveling back to the 2010/20's (the year of the Ford Explorer Seven was driving in trailer).

I set mine to the U.S and could watch it. Which VPN are you using out of curiosity?

Actually I only tried it with Operas built in VPN, which is why I actually still keep Opera installed at this point.   I didn't try with one of the free ones out there.

I shocked to find that people like this tripe , i wish Abram's trek would go away

How is this Abram's trek?  All the new shows take place in the Prime timeline and NOT the Kelvin timeline.

its created or produced by Alex Kurtzman, who's an Abram's guy. He's involved in all Abram's stuff. All Star Trek since the 2009 movie I would consider Abrams regardless of the timeline.  And pretty much everything Kurtzman is involved in is terrible .... (in my opinion)

    • I used a Pixel 10 Pro XL when it first came out for about 8 months. When I first got it, it was using Google assistant and that was fast, when asking it to call somone etc. Then it automatically switched with some update to Gemini. Doing even the simplist of things like asking it to call someone in my contacts was soooooo slow compared to Google assistant. I guess it had to go out to the cloud to do that? Back on iPhone and while Siri is dumb right now, it does do those simple things, like call someone, set a timer, star the stop watch etc, really fast. That an while I like Google Material Design 3 over iOS 26, they Pixel 10 Pro XL was so slow in comparison to the iPhone 17 Pro I am using.
    • I use Gemini in my rotation of AI clients...that work pays for. It is good at most things, better than copilot for imgage searching and making images, worse at writing vs Claude and way worse at hadling technical issues when it comes to Azure stuff. I also use YT premium and maps. Anything else Google is a pass for me. I have now seen multiple people locked out of their Google accounts for reasons that are just very vauge.
    • Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced plans to build a new datacenter campus in Pecos, Texas, as the company continues to invest billions in AI infrastructure. The new facility, called project Kilby, will reportedly have a capacity of 2 gigawatts and will be one of the largest single capacity additions in the company’s history. To power the campus, Microsoft signed a 20-year deal with Chevron to supply natural gas from the Permian Basin, America's largest oil field. This deal is set to become the largest collaboration to date between a U.S. oil and gas giant and Big Tech. It’s no secret that Big Tech has often been criticized for exploiting natural resources for its AI developments. Microsoft is trying to mitigate some of that negative consensus by promising to build its own power supply for the new datacenter, independent of the public grid. The Pecos datacenter will be powered by a power plant hub, built by Chevron, with up to 2.5 gigawatts of gas-fired capacity, with potential to scale to up to 5 gigawatts. The facility will include at least seven GE Vernova turbines, with first power potentially coming online as early as late 2027 or early 2028. The power plant hub is part of an approximately $7 billion investment by Chevron, making it one of the largest dedicated energy projects tied to a single datacenter campus in the U.S. Microsoft hasn’t publicly disclosed the amount it’s investing in the new datacenter. Microsoft has also committed to implementing a closed-loop cooling system that will only require an initial water charge to operate. The company said that “the total lifecycle water use of this datacenter is only a fraction of that consumed annually by a typical fast-food restaurant.” What the press release doesn’t mention, however, is how much water the natural gas plant itself will consume, or how a 20-year fossil fuel commitment squares with the company's pledge to be carbon negative by 2030. The construction of the new datacenter should provide over 6,000 construction jobs at peak build-out, and create hundreds of operational job roles once the facility is built. Via: Reuters
