I really hope they spin-off Picard with the Enterprise G (they could probably do without Picard's 42 year old 'son' though and find someone actually in their 20s)

I was really hoping they would have gone with Jerri Ryan and a Titan series which would have included Jack and could have brought back any of the TNG characters at any time.

Todays episode was good.

I like the fact that it was multifaceted, not only focusing on the cadets trama but also the doctors.

 

I liked it except for the appearance of the most incompetent Starfleet officer in any century. So I forwarded those bits.

‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ to End With Season 2

So much for a 4 year run...

The only Trek I've liked since the TV reboots is Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks and Picard. They share a common theme too, being out there exploring with competent Starfleet officers!

I love Star Trek and have an emotional family memories spanning a few decades.

Having said that I found this season to be extremely disappointing. While it had two above average episodes the rest were rubbish.

I just can't accept a homosexual Klingon and also found the character of SAM to be annoying and what happened to Holly Hunter, has she had a stroke at some point? She talks out of the side of her mouth. It rates 4.4 on IMDB and I'm surprised it has a second season.

Just my opinion.

This show would have been utter poo if it wasn't for the Paul Giammatti character.

Agreed with SNW and Picard. Never watched Lower Decks.

Did you not like Star Trek: Discovery?

Absolutely not. Michael Burnham, Tilly? ugh can't stand them. There was so much wrong with that show, putting emotionally unstable people on the bridge and officers with the mental age of a preteen (Tilly). And it lasted 5 seasons!

Burnham was a classic Mary Sue, and Tilly... Yeah, agreed.  And Academy got off to a GREAT start with one of the cadets swallowing her combadge...

The sooner Kurtzman is gone from Trek, the better.

you're missing out on Lower Decks, it's pretty good and lots of references to old shows as well.
ST:D...... It says enough doesn't it?? 😛

I put on lower decks and it was very loud and my head hurt. 

Also references to old star trek does not necessarily make good star trek.

I watched the first season of Lower Decks but never got around to seeing more than the odd random episode here and there after that. It's not that it was bad, it just didn't grab me.  It was too much like Futurama in a Trek skin for me, really.

I watched a few episodes of Lower Deck, and I couldn't wrap my head around the premise of Star Trek being silly and haven't watched any more of it.  One day I'll go back and watch the series.

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

      By sphbecker · Posted

      Glad these prices are starting to come down, but that is still crazy. I bought the 2TB 9100 Pro (slightly more expensive version with PCIe 5.0) last year for $240.
    • 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.
