So...can anyone succinctly and calmly explain who Alpha Trion is and why it's important? I just tried reading his wikipedia page to find out how he's important, but all I got out of it was that he is a "good guy".

There's going to be a problem in using Alpha Trion with his old background, as he was one of the first generation of Transformers created by Vector Sigma (the computer created by the Quintessans to create the Transformers). In the film universe, the Transformers were created by the All Spark (taking the place of Vector Sigma as the creator of the Transformers).

The Transformers were originally created by the Quintessans to be a slave race. Alpha Trion was the first Transformer to rise up against and overthrow the Quintessans, thus freeing the Transformers from slavery.

So equivalents of original to film:

Vector Sigma = All Spark

Alpha Trion = One of the first Primes (who are all dead now, with the death of The Fallen in TF2)

Quintessans = ? (no equivalent yet)

Think that's a good rough background, but if anyone has some additions or amendments feel free (but remember sources, my post was done from memory so could be inaccurate in places).

Thanks, that did help a bit. When the wiki page started talking about Vector Sigma and Quintessans my mind just exploded. I remember watching the 80s cartoon when I was a kid, but I couldn't tell you anything about the lore or storylines. So, this was definitely helpful.

A few ancillary questions: Are Quintessans organic alien lifeforms? Are they "evil"? Do they still exist?

Wondering why everyone thinks it's Unicorn :p Why would they make Unicorn that small?

He's way more similar to Alpha Trion so I'm placing my bets on him.

      The original word arts were far more awesome! With their own preconfigured fill patterns, 3D layout, etc, with options to fine-tune their size and colors as desired. I especially loved the ones circled below and still miss them from my primary school years: I frankly use them less these days 'cause the new one isn't as straightforward fine art as what we originally had, taking time and effort to get back to the same graphics quality as the original offered, which I simply don't have enough of for merely fine-tuning my presentation titles. Same with the built-in picarts selection. Bring back the original pre-configured options for word art then I'll be using them far more frequently in my presentations even today.
    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      What didn't you understand about that was mainly referring to Google, Microsoft, etc. keeping your passwords. Password Management is a key service of Bitwarden and it's not going anywhere. In any case they do offer export to other Password management services, backup/download of passwords, and the already mentioned on-prem option. I don't agree with the OP to use the free option as it's better to be an actual customer IMO. They don't just don't delete accounts like the big tech companies with no recourse which was the main concern of this article. I was confused if the author was trying to sell this setup? It should be obvious to anyone reading this article this solution is overly complicated and overkill for most users.
    • Ads in Now Playing notifications on Spotify Android mobile app?

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I got this notification just now in Android: So I went in to disable the "Other" or "Marketing" notifications in Notifications management: But it came through the Now Playing? So if I disable that I no longer get what's Now Playing in Notifications? I'm a paying subscriber, not on the free plan... can they sink any lower?
