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.

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)

    • Anyone Here With Turbo Pascal Experience?

      By Almohandis · Posted

      Turbo Pascal was my first real programming experience more than 30 years ago at university. I mostly taught myself from the included examples and help documentation, because the university only taught the basic syntax and philosophy of Pascal, without going deeply into Turbo Pascal’s advanced features. I still remember when I discovered that I could embed assembly language directly into Pascal code, call BIOS functions, manipulate screen memory, use mouse interrupts, and control peripherals from my programs. That opened huge doors for me. Programming back then felt really fun, direct, and close to the machine. What I loved about Pascal was its readability and the almost instant compile time. Turbo Pascal was an amazing environment, but unfortunately Turbo Pascal for Windows 3 did not feel like it fully carried that legacy forward. Later, Delphi got things back on the right track after the messy transition to TP for Windows. Sadly, Delphi suffered from years of uncertainty as it moved from Borland to CodeGear and then to Embarcadero. That instability made many developers lose confidence in it, even though Delphi itself remained a powerful and productive tool. I still work with Delphi from time to time, but I definitely miss the old days of Turbo Pascal.

      I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
