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.

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....

      How do you connect 5.1 Speakers to this thing?

      I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
