And the Tholian web!

Or as Worf once put it, “We don’t discuss that with outsiders.”

Yeh, I think it has to do with some CPU topology crap. I have it working pretty well, luckily - I once had an old Virtualbox VM with MacOS that I needed, and I was able to boot it in my Windows VM.

With Lightroom, you're right on that. Honestly, the state of FOSS image editors is a bit ridiculous, especially considering how good FOSS vector editors like Inkscape are these days compared to their commercial, proprietary counterparts.

I can see that. I nuked my Windows partition years ago, though. Honestly, if I find a software is jerk enough to block virtualization, I don't find it worth using.

I personally use LUKS + clevis with a TPM on my Thinkpad.

I wonder what the timeline change will be for Dos Cerritos.

A plausible one in my opinion is Captain Freeman doesn’t survive the Pakled attack in the season 1 finale and Rutherford gets more severely injured. The ship is in chaos, and Mariner snaps, takes control, applies some Mariner magic to overcome the situation, and gets a field promotion. Either Boimler has died or stays on the Titan. (WAIT. I didn't notice bearded Boimler the first watch.)

Another less likely one is maybe it’s a First Splinter timeline Cerritos

Personally, I'm the biggest fan of the seasons 3 and 4 posters.

I find Kobayashi is around where it starts to pick up. I'd say just watch the rest of season 1 before deciding if you want to continue, but at the very least, if you're worried about wasting your time, to episode 11 (frames the plot for the rest of the season) or episode 13 (the most classically Trek episode of the season, honestly).

Unfortunately, Jankom Pog never goes away, but somewhere in late season 1, he gets less useless at least and earns the right to be more annoying that Neelix. Also, if you've been finding Rok an annoying helpless child up to this point, she becomes a much better character (probably the most useful crew member) after episode 8 through a slightly O'Brien-esque process.

Season 2 is great and worth having watched season 1 (not to say season 1 is bad, but season 2 is way better).

Something like that. In my setup, I passthrough my RX 580 (my nicer card) and have my RX 550 (a dirt cheap one I got for ~$85 on sale) stay connected to the host.

Honestly, in most cases, studios should just guarantee 3 seasons because that's how long it takes to really find if a show will actually get any sort of following.

To be honest, I feel like streamers keep trying to gun for a The Office or Last Airbender level hit, but don't realize that those shows wouldn't have survived today under the current metric by which they evaluate a show's success. They ignore the whole point of streaming: a show should have more time to find success - potential fans will get to it when they get to it.

I agree. DS9 season one honestly wasn't too bad (obviously not SNW season 1 caliber), though mainly because it didn't have a weird blackface episode.

How far did you actually get into Prodigy?
