I'll watch it if that useless redhead (I think she's called Tlly? Most incompetent ensign in Trek) from ST Discovery is not in it.

 

If I remember correctly, it was one of her ideas that resolved the spore drive's primary problems when they ended up in the spore's "universe" if you will (can't remember it was back in S1). She also resolves a ton of highly technical issues... perhaps you may not take to her walking on eggshells mentality when it comes to her behavior? She always does seem to be afraid of her own shadow.

I just remember wondering how she was ever a bridge officer at all with all of her insufferable insecurities. I am sure she's a wonderful person in real life, but the character was poorly written. They even had to dedicate a whole episode to her being forced into taking the responsibility of leading cadets out of a problem of some sort as if to show how she is "growing" into her function.

Never bridge officer material and I just rolled my eyes at her scenes and eventually stopped watching the show altogether, but also because of all the lead character's cry/whisper/talking that frustrated me.

It was a bit much. I try not to skip any trek though. Stuff like that doesn’t bother anywhere as much as section 31 movie did.

Nice throwback to Sisko and is that a female Jem'Hadar?

A female Jem'Hadar makes no bloody sense whatsoever... They're a male only, genetically engineered, clone species...  Did the idiots making this not watch ANY of DS9, or bother to check a wiki, at ALL?

This is going to be crap, isn't it? :(

While I'm not trying to make an excuse for it... How many years in the future does this take place?  Is there a possibility that the Jem'Hadar were re-engineered to have a split male/female species? 

 

I think to part of the issue is they may be taking STO (star trek online) as cannon....https://memory-gamma.fandom.com/wiki/Jek'Kralija

Genetic roll of the dice and one point a female was born?  There was an episode of DS9 when Bashir and O’Brien crashed landed and ran into a bunch of Jem’Hadar and one wasn’t naturally dependent on ketracel-white (genetic anomaly). So, it’s possible a female could have been born at one point.  Plus after how many centuries have passed between DS9 and when this takes place.

They seem reptilian, which can adapt to such things. And the genetic manipulation may have either stopped or (as can happen) trigger a push back reaction. If anything it tells a story within itself, about them no longer following the founders or such

Starfleet Academy not only brings back traditional Klingons like Cadet Jay-Den Kraag, but it also debuts Klingon hybrids.

Commander Lura Thok (Gina Yashere) is a Klingon/Jem’Hadar hybrid who is the Chancellor Nahla Ake's First Officer and Cadet Master. Meanwhile, the villainous Nus Braka is a hybrid of Klingon and Tellarite, creating fascinating new spins on the warrior race.

As much as I was a StarTrek fan, I noped out on ST:Discovery and anything related. This doesn't look much better to me tbh.

I kinda like ST:SNW, as long as they don't do musical eposides.... 😛

I tried to rewatch ST:D (from where I left off in season 4 ep7) but my god, it's like they all have to stop and talk about their feelings every 5 minutes. It's infuriating!

Michael's whisper talking really gets to me, and she just does not have the vibe of a Captain.

    • The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months by Sayan Sen Yesterday, we covered a really good deal wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD for a low price of just $400 with a special discount coupon. That's just $100 per TB, making it a very good offer during these hard times. The deal is still live, so you can check it out in its dedicated article here if you do not want to miss out. Meanwhile, if you don't have that kind of budget but still wish to buy an SSD for a good price, the 2TB variant of the TeamGroup SSD at $280 its lowest price in over three months. Meanwhile, those seeking 2TB but faster performance can check out Samsung's 990 PRO, which has hit the lowest price also in the last quarter or so, as it's on sale for $370 (purchase links under the specs table down below). Thus, you want a faster drive, get the 990 Pro, or you want more capacity, grab the TeamGroup 4TB linked in the first para. The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $500. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The tech specs are given below: Specification TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 2TB Samsung 990 PRO 2TB Interface PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 Form Factor M.2 2280 M.2 2280 Controller InnoGrit Controller Samsung In-house Controller NAND Flash 3D TLC 3D TLC DRAM Cache None (HMB supported) 2GB LPDDR4 Sequential Read (Max) 5,000 MB/s 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write (Max) 4,500 MB/s 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4K) Up to 600,000 IOPS Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4K) Up to 700,000 IOPS Up to 1,550,000 IOPS TBW (Endurance) 1,300 TBW 1,200 TBW MTBF 3,000,000 hours 1,500,000 hours Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C 0°C to 70°C Storage Temperature -40°C to 85°C -40°C to 85°C Shock Resistance 1,500G / 0.5ms 1,500G / 0.5ms Heatsink Patented Graphene Heat Spreader No Get them at the links below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) TEAMGROUP T-Force G50 2TB SSD (TM8FFE002T0C129): $279.99 (Sold by TeamGroup, Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By FloatingFatMan · Posted

      And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault

      By sphbecker · Posted

      "...but it may not be Microsoft's fault" seems like a reasonable way to tease what is going on without leaving the user with a false impression that an update is the problem. A title isn't a summery, it is meant to entice the user to read the article. It should not contain a misleading premise; which this title does not. You could maybe complain that the first paragraph should have included that detail. The writing style popularized over 100 years ago in newspapers will cover the most important information as soon as possible with details and nuance added later; the idea being that with each new paragraph you have less of the reader's focus.
    • Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features by Fiza Ali Samsung is bringing its Galaxy XR headset to the UK several months after the device made its debut as the first headset built on Google's Android XR platform. The headset was first teased in late 2024 alongside Google's introduction of Android XR before making its commercial debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, Galaxy XR combines mixed reality experiences with Gemini-powered AI features, allowing users to interact with digital content using voice, gestures, and visual inputs. While the hardware itself remains largely unchanged from the version Samsung unveiled last year, the company is using the UK launch to spotlight several software enhancements that have arrived through recent updates. Among the most notable additions is deeper integration with Google's ecosystem. Galaxy XR users can explore destinations through Google Maps' Immersive View, receiving AI-powered recommendations and contextual information from Gemini while navigating virtual environments. Furthermore, entertainment experiences have also expanded; users can watch 180-degree and 360-degree videos on YouTube, browse spatial content converted into 3D, and ask Gemini questions about on-screen content without interrupting playback. Samsung is also highlighting mixed-reality features such as Circle to Search, which allows users to identify real-world objects through hand gestures while using the headset's video pass-through mode. Another feature automatically converts photos and videos into spatial 3D experiences. Moreover, the headset now also supports Android Enterprise, allowing organisations to manage deployments using existing Android management tools. Annika Bizon, Vice President, Product and Marketing, Mobile Experience, Samsung UK & Ireland, talked about the device, stating: The headset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform and features dual 4K Micro-OLED displays. The tech giant says that users can expect up to 2.5 hours of battery life. Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy XR will continue receiving software and security updates as the company works alongside Google and Qualcomm to expand the Android XR ecosystem. Galaxy XR is now available for pre-order and will go on sale on 8 July. Customers interested in trying the headset before launch can visit Samsung KX in London and selected Samsung Experience Stores from 17 June. Finally, the company will also host a livestream on 19 June showcasing the headset's capabilities and answering questions from prospective customers.
