It’s the best one!

Yes!

Show me a Montgomery Scott or Miles O’Brien and we can talk…

The US government basically ONLY uses SQL…

Man, I hate it when that happens.

Right, it’s Sisko’s “It’s easy to be an angel in paradise…” from season 1. That’s the main theme of the whole show - how do the Federation’s ideals hold up in significantly less than ideal conditions? What does it mean to be “the good guys” when all of the choices in front of you are varying degrees of bad?

People always mention the later seasons, understandably so, but it carries through the entire series. In some ways, it’s even more prominent in the early seasons when DS9 is portrayed as being pretty remote, Federation back up is far away, the main cast is own their own, and the Cardassian fleet is always nearby.

Whoa!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold it right there.

What about Babylon 5?!?

It’s about time!

Yep, I’m a thumb trackball guy. Love them.

Yeah, I vastly prefer HP Pro/Elitebooks and Thinkpads over anything in the Dell business line.

Can I just have a modern Motorola Razr so I can pretend to be Captain Kirk again, please?

I used two self-tapping sheet metal screws when we moved from a single-plate-on-the-back state to a double-plate state.

There’s no holder but…. That’s pretty much decorative anyway.

Well… it’s hard to argue with that.

Yeah… How many “ghost devs” don’t produce much code because they area stuck in meeting after meeting that they don’t need to be in just in case “someone has a tech question”?

Nothing is temporary. Every script, patch, application, and duct tape MacGyver/Scotty inspired fix I’ve ever written will run for eternity….

Personally, none. But my home machines all run Linux and my work machine is still on 23H2. But I’ve read a few stories about wider-spread-than-normal issues with the update.

It will take at least that long to fix 24H2….

My personal experience has been that it’s games from the post-DOS era, especially PC games from the very late 90s and early 00s, that can be really tricky.

I’ve had better luck running games from that era from my GOG library via Lutris on Linux than Windows 10/11.

The ones that run in DOS Box are comparatively easy!

I love the Elder Scrolls. It’s my favorite game series. But after Starfield…. I don’t know that I’m in a big hurry for ES6.

I want it, don’t get me wrong. I want it to be amazing. But if it’s going to be like Starfield, maybe not…

I work at a place that uses Azure to run everything (not my choice…).

Everything we have runs on Linux containers, Linux Azure functions, and a VM that runs Ubuntu.

You can run Windows on Azure but you certainly don’t have to.
