I can finally say that this is my favourite Star Trek series. After the little taste we got in Discovery, I was ecstatic about the news of SNW. Season 1 did not disappoint and it's the first Trek series that I happily re-watched so soon.

Looks like the first episode of season 2 will be released on June 15. 😁

Wait, what? BOIMLER?!? So, was that Mariner with him, too?! What are THEY doing there!?!?!

Some funky cross-over episode.  Don't know how it'll work out, guess we'll see.   We've known about it for a while actually.

I'd seen it as a rumour but figured it was just the internet being the internet...

I guess that's going to be the season's comedy episode then... Or hope, anyway.

Probably a safe bet at this point.

I’m wanting the Sybok storyline to continue…

That character is forever associated with easily the WORST EVER Trek movie, and was a stupid concept from start to finish.  Better, IMO, if they had just never gone there...

You didn't like the Uhura Dance Trap?

But that movie came with the best quote, “What does god need with a starship?” :p

You don't know what you're missing then.  😝

 

I think ST5 is underrated.  I liked the idea of pain, and past events shaping who you become.   Kirks line about "needing" his pain, it defines him, still sticks with me.

And hence I want to see how they do it differently here

Star trek V isn't the worst star trek movie ever, that honour goes to Star Trek Into Darkness. Although if you're talking about original cast films, then I'd argue Star Trek IV is the worst, never liked that film. The score alone is off putting

Looks like crazy fun on the way.  I can hear the incoming complaints about Spock already though.

Boimler and Beckett. Wow.

First episode is out, we went right to the Klingons, looking good.   There's a dedication at the end that got me teared up, well done.

Good solid first episode.

Spoiler

Though I wish there were more Pike in the episode :D

It seems M'Benga has a dark past he's battling with.

Agreed. A solid episode, but the dedication at the end... I wasn't expecting the kick in the feels that gave me...

Well, he does get a demotion between now and TOS... Maybe he does something to earn it...

SOME ladies, but not all, are like fine wines...they get better with age, and Nichelle definitely falls into that description....she was fairly attractive when she was younger, but by the time ST VI & V came out, she had already achieved serious "MILF" status...

Ever heard the saying "don't knock it until you've tried it" ?  Well in her case, I would say "DO knock it" cause I would have....

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      By sagum · Posted

      If you have a TV in your living room, chances are you can probably just use the Steam Link app and play your huge PC in big picture mode, effectively giving you the Steam Machine experience to see if you'd actually like it. The good news is the Steam Machine can have it's drives upgraded. It has a USB-C 10Gbs port as well, so the 512GB drive could be quickly moved to an external enclosure and repurposed.

      This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI

      By zikalify · Posted

      Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.

      A bit like the steamdeck, this probably isn't for you.
