TIL sailing ships commonly moved around without wind by warping
  • Yeah me too. I tried searching around but it's hard to find something that's not sci-fi related about this topic. It might also be called "kledging" from what I read, but not sure if that's the exact same thing.

  • 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: 🤦

  • Android slaves in Picard conflicts with TNG canon.

    Trapped tardigrades for propulsion in Disco conflicts with Voyager canon.

    Those are my complaints.

    Stealing everything you’ve ever typed or viewed on your own Windows PC is now possible with two lines of code — inside the Copilot+ Recall disaster.
  • Yeah not to be obtuse here, but I think the fear is over sensationalized. I haven’t seen it in person, but it seems like this is a totally new product that is similar to idea of browser history, but adds in some modern features. I would like to check it out.

    on-by-default

    That’s not correct. Based on the documentation, Windows Setup has an option to enable/disable the feature on first boot.

    The documentation also says it doesn’t capture incognito windows and I mentioned in my other comment that you can turn it off temporarily and permanently. It doesn’t run all the time no matter what, like some of the comments have suggested.

    Here’s a screenshot of the config page with a simple toggle to turn off:

  • Hmm that didn’t sound right so I had to look it up. Microsoft says there’s a way to pause the recall snapshot functionality for a set amount of time, like an incognito mode:

    Pause or resume snapshots To pause recall, select the Recall icon in the system tray then Pause until tomorrow.  Snapshots will be paused until they automatically resume at 12:00 AM. When snapshots are paused, the Recall system tray icon has a slash through it so you can easily tell if snapshots are enabled. To manually resume snapshots, select the Recall icon in the system tray and then select Resume snapshots.

    I don’t understand why there’s so much FUD around this product…

    How can I insert/type a blank character using my keyboard?
  • My go-to would be AutoHotKey on Windows. Maybe this Linux version would work? https://github.com/phil294/AHK_X11

    Looks like you can get a script that replaces

    ; hotstrings - expand 'btw' to 'By the way' as you type
    ::btw::By the way
    ; hotkeys - press winkey-z to go to Google
    #z::Run http://google.com
    

    You might be able to use whatever character you're using instead of {Space}:

    F19::{Space}

    I don’t understand how this port is going to connect with a cable. I want to see this in person but it looks cool in the ad

    I had a friend who had an aluminum MacBook Pro around the late 2000s.

    I was really jealous of him because his laptop had a full keyboard with a 10 key numpad at the right.

    I am trying to find it now, but my Google-Fu is failing me. Too many results for external keyboards.

    Can anyone locate a photo or number of the model that I'm looking for?

    EDIT: Apparently it doesn't exist. Thanks everyone!

    (me currently trying to think what other laptop it must have been...) !

    Have you played any single player board games that you would recommend?

    I’m looking to get a few games to play when everyone is out of the house and I don’t want to turn on the game box.

    I’ve played Bargain Basement Bathysphere and March of the Ants. Looking for more!

    I signed up and played 76 after the first release—you know, the one with only like 3 humans.

    It was my favorite experience. Empty, beautiful, peaceful and very exciting. The ambient music is my favorite of the whole series and it really set the tone.

    I liked the feeling that you and a few other people online were the only real human survivors and the bots and mutants were the only things left in the world.

    That changed after people complained… I quit after some changes were made. I logged in recently and now it’s full of generic NPCs and bullet sponge enemies. Not for me anymore.

    I guess I’ll never be able to go back to that feeling right after release. It really was something else.

    Anybody else play the game right after it was released?
