A "test" to judge Star Trek shows
  • TNG's the inner light is one of its best episodes and it spectacularly fails this test.

  • Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022 4K)
  • Looks like the YouTube account was compromised, given they uploaded 2 videos 15 years ago then nothing until a few days ago when they started posting full movies.

  • Passkey Redaction Attacks Subvert GitHub, Microsoft Authentication
  • Cases like this only prove that a better lock doesn't improve security when the old lock still lets you in.

    The takeaway here isn't "passkeys are bad", it's "keeping less secure methods of authentication as a fallback is bad"

    It's like saying all 2FA is bad because SMS 2FA is dogshit.

  • 40 Kilobyte Rule
  • Why does it make you angry?

  • Spotify Playlist Randomizer | Steven Aleong, for peple who want "true shuffle" for their playlists (Spotify tends to always play the same stuff)
  • Who would you recommend as an alternative?

    (I don't want to back up and host my own music server before anyone suggests it)

  • Red Faction: Guerrilla sequel was another Embracer casualty, say former Fishlab devs
  • What a real shame, the red faction franchise would have been great this generation. We have ample power to really show off some cool destruction physics, but no

  • Let’s make games open source, so future generations can enjoy them
  • The engine Can of Duty uses is effectively a heavily modified quake 3 engine.

    By this point it's so modified it may as well be a different thing, but make no mistake it has evolved from the quake 3 engine.

  • Why not serve fried chicken on Juneteenth? How is it different from serving corned beef on St. Patrick’s day?
  • Wait, What's this about corned beef? I am Irish (as in actually from Ireland) and I have no idea what that has to do with St Patrick's day?

  • Anyone using OSMC
  • I used OSMC for years going back to when it was still raspbmc, got the first Vero and then the 4k model.

    They were never perfect and hassle free, a lot of which I put down to Kodi itself. I love the idea of Kodi, but the base interface is lacking (especially when you have a big collection) and most of the fancy front-ends / skins I tried would run too slow and once again bring back the shoddy TV experience I was trying to avoid. It also does not support streaming services like Netflix or Disney+ in any usable capacity. Kodi has a rich add-on ecosystem, which usually means you can plug some gaps but the add-ons have a habit of just breaking out of the blue or during major upgrades. I've had to have Kodi index my library so many times that I got sick of it ruining film night.

    Eventually I bought an Nvidia shield, still using Kodi at first but switching between Plex, jellyfin and emby until I settled on emby for my local content. Being able to use other streaming services was a bonus and the hardware was good enough that it doesn't feel sluggish.

    You can also install 3rd party apps like smart tube for an excellent YouTube experience (and now my preferred way to watch YouTube).

    The shield is starting to show it's age big time (it doesn't support HDR on YouTube, for example) but sadly outside of the USA there isn't really any devices that match or beat it - you keep hearing about that Wal-Mart device being brilliant but that's US only.

    So in short, get a good android TV box for the best experience and the most options.

  • A wobbly left and a wary right could cut the Labour vote with low turnout | Robert Ford
  • But they're not wrong either, there's plenty of precedent for the conservatives getting a higher vote share than polls have predicted. We sometimes call it "the shy Tory" effect and revolt there's likely lots of reasons behind it, the fact remains that polls are not a guarantee of anything.

  • Stop comparing programming languages
  • C# is also here

  • Give yourselves a round of applause 🖖
  • In fairness, that scene with the destroyers was fucking awesome. Fuck the canon, it looked cool as fuck.

  • We're good, seriously! - Jellyfin
  • Open collective can let you specify where you want that donated money to go, so if the jellyfin admins wanted to they could have set OC up in such a way that donations could go to specific areas - not just clients, but specific feature development even.

    If you're concerned that your donation to the project wouldn't go to something you value or your wanted to ensure a client you cared about had support, that would have been a better way to manage it.

    I really think jellyfin is making a mistake by not centralising development costs for all the various clients and such out there, especially for those that require some developer account or certification to get on a storefront.

  • Mate, I have been seeing these comics in my feeds for months if not years and I just don't get them either. They're like ...a little bit weird, but that's it. I do not understand why people seem to like them.

    Not hating, I just really don't understand.

  • Everyday, as an American
  • In the UK we're mostly using metric with the odd exception (we still love a pint of beer), one of which is that speeds are measured in MPH. It's not really a big deal, there aren't many customers between miles and kilometres and anything less than a km is still usually measured in metres.

  • 6 months ago I won a Pixel Fold. Google has just posted the video I created to win it.

    It's definitely a bit cringe, but enjoy!

    OMG I just won a Pixel fold

    There was a competition for UK superfans last month. They said they'd let entrants know by June 29th so I just assumed I hadn't won anything. I'm so excited!
