Lol sorry for the ramble but I hope this might help you feel a little less lost at the grocery store. ;)

Thank you for your detailed comment. :)

I am dual booting Linux Mint Cinnamon, and you are totally right. The “app store” is very nice and I was honestly impressed how much control Cinnamon offered and made it accessible for beginners through GUI. It felt more streamlined than Win10 in some places. Steam’s Proton is also a huge deal, as most games work great with it enabled out of the box. I do however often feel lost. I didn’t expect that but the thing most difficult for me is basic stuff, like navigating the start menu. I really like the customization Win10 offered and miss it dearly.

I guess it is part not having a feeling on how Cinnamon works yet. After using Windows since 2006 I know my way around it failry well, and I don’t have that “gut-feeling” in Linux yet. It will come with time, but atm I am feeling a little defeated.

Jesus. How did you get that from what I have written

I find myself actually considering paying 30$ a year for prolonged windows 10 support because I find the switch to linux really overwhelming. Like being sent grocery shopping, but all lables are in traditional chinese. Some things you can figure out very easily, but troubleshooting anything takes me days.

Thing is, and I say that as a windows user with a little experience in linux: I got no idea what you are talking about, and I doubt many windows users do.

There are no actions, only transactions

NHL 95 and Sonic. Will clean the contacts soon, then try again. As for the connection to my pc monitor, I am using RCA, run it into a RCA to HDMI converter and then into my monitor

The capacitors look okay, and I can’t see any cracks (yet). The board and part of it’s shroud are however hotglued in place 🎉 so it’s hard to tell atm. Can hot glue mess with the conductivity of the board? Because there is one nice blob right on the PCB

So they won’t even display a boot up screen?

<will it pass muster to be aboard the ship in the first place? Starfleet has standards, after all.>

I was under the impression that crewman are free to add new things. Like Data, who composed food for Spot and I believe there were several instances of tinkering with the replicators on VOY and DS9. Although DS9 maybe is the odd one out, since it’s , ex-kardassian and co-owned by Bajor, and a certain ferengi runs a bar there. ^^

Can’t tell if you are ragebaiting or sincerely not considering police violence/ power abuse by police officers, which I think FuglyDucly is referring to.

(After reading through most comments here, I think it is trolling)

-Clarkson! Conserve our energy reserves!

-No friction. Nothing to stop meeeeeeee!

I don’t get why the bringe of (at least Picard’s) Enterprise is located at the top of the ship. We often see ships suffering hull-damage, sometimes scraping each other and getting into all kinds of perilous situations. So why put the room with the most important people in such a vulnerable position when you could put it at the heart of the ship? Bridge would be less likely to suffer from hull damage and decompression. Also, why don’t enemy factions just go: Oh that’s the bridge. Jolly good. Aim torpedoes at it, watch their morale crumble to dust alongside the bridge crew and call it a day.

A video so absurd, I’d be covinced it’s AI wizardry, would it not have been uploaded 5 years ago

I had several teachers who would make a sport out of insulting students. Also in 10th grade… Coincidence?
