Yes agreed 10000%. S1 Picard was so confusing to me because of what you said. Did nobody in the writers room watch that episode of TNG?? There’s a few more too!!

“The Most Toys” asserts Data’s humanity over and over again. That episode with the Exocomps talks about tech sentience thru evolution and the effect on self preservation. That other episode about terraforming and finding the inorganic life forms. So many to choose from!

First 30 seconds of Picard: “These damn dirty robot slaves are so whiny and cranky!”

Me: 🤦

Hm, not sure what you mean.

Are there android slaves in voyager?

Android slaves in Picard conflicts with TNG canon.

Trapped tardigrades for propulsion in Disco conflicts with Voyager canon.

Those are my complaints.

Yeah definitely not ideal. I wish it was clean with 0 ads.

I love my News+ subscription. Lots of great things to read and no clutter.

Anyone on Lemmy play this game? Is it any good?

Looks to me like another moba copy and paste.

I am really tired of Hot Ones. Ready for that trend to be over.

I want to try a nice spicy Hasperat.

Might try this recipe: https://foodreplicator.tumblr.com/post/34323093533/hasperat/amp

Very excited about this. Some strategy games are a pain to play with the controller (Cities: Skylines, Stellaris, Dune: Spice Wars).

Reminds me of the Starfield Radio mod that adds an Alex Jones-type conspiracy talk show called "The Black Box ". Gave me a good laugh: https://starfieldradio.com/

I’ve had an iced earl gray.

What’s this animation style called?

Thanks for this one. My Google Home has the same capability for BBC and NPR so I tried NPR with Siri, but it just played the NPR live feed in Music. Know if I can get that hourly news report from NPR like the BBC one?

I love this kind of stuff.

I don’t think you really need a 10gb network, unless you’re pulling down 4k and 8k video files or if you have over 10 users connecting at a time.

At idle, power consumption of the NUC is very low–about 5 watts. At load, it’s about 100 watts.

Regardless if you use a NUC or NAS, I would recommend focusing on the processor. Make sure it can can handle the type of codec that you’re wanting to transcode to and from (hevc, avc) on the transcoder device. Intel QSV is also pretty nice if your chip supports it and you don’t care too much about quality.

Here’s my (semi) educated opinion: Get a NAS just for storage and retrieval. Get a NUC with a modern chip and run your apps and transcoding on it. I have this in my lab and it allows me to upgrade in the future depending on what my needs are. If I need more processor power, I get a new NUC. If I need more storage, I can add an expansion device and/or replace the NAS completely.

If you combine the storage and transcoding into a single device on the NAS, you’re locked in if your needs change and you will need to start looking at more expensive HCI options.

Thank you!

Awesome! Thanks!

Will check it out thanks!
