Sounds like a freak accident rather than the fault of the VM.

I literally use a GPU for passthrough on my Windows 10 (and macOS) VM; PCIe is a much more complex protocol and much easier to F up than USB.

I’ve used my iPhone many times through Windows and been fine, as well as whole USB keyboards and mice (just simple ones); I think I might have even updated an iOS device once, though I can’t remember if I actually did. I’ve also used an iPod Nano 7th through an 11 LTSC VM before.

I could see some things being a little finicky, but simply managing a Zune with a VM probably causes no issues. It’s probably been eons since it got a firmware upgrade anyway.

That's just a VM running atop Docker container; convenient, perhaps, but a little misleading to users who don't understand how Docker works and might think it's better performance-wise than a VM.

To be fair, I’ve heard Wii U isn’t particularly pleasant running Linux either. I’ve never run Linux on my homebrewed Wii U, but someone in my Linux Users Group brought theirs in once.

Not to be confused with that coward, the anti-quark:

The Q have a comparatively nice one stop by comparison:

Honestly, it's just a search engine search away, a pretty well-covered thing.

Here's this for starters: https://wii.hacks.guide/

It's basically jailbreaking the console, after which you can run pretty much anything that the console has the power for, including the Linux kernel.

I don't think they're doing so much of a TOS reboot as a TOS continuation with some retconning and reusing some SNW sets and cast.

I've heard it floated around that it would depict the start of Kirk's mission, which TOS didn't depict, showing the crew already relatively comfortable with the ship. Personally, I'd like them to something of a year 4/5 that takes place either during or after TAS. As I mention elsewhere in this thread, I think "Yesteryear" would be an awesome remake; it could be pulled off in one 50 minute episode (already double TAS length), but I think it would be awesome to extend it to a two parter.

Not sure I'd want a full TOS reboot, but I think a few more retcons wouldn't hurt so long as they're in the overall spirit of Trek.

What I've mentioned before that I think would be interesting to see is a remake of the TAS episode Yesteryear. Most TAS stories are probably best left as such, or else they would lose their campy charm, but I think Yesteryear could benefit, especially from the dramatic storytelling recent live action Trek has focused on. We could get so much good Vulcan lore out of it, and I'd hope they could do awesome set and costume design.

In my ideal episode, it's still weeks to months until Sarek takes in Burnham; I feel like otherwise, Spock wouldn't have to be going back in time to save himself.

To be fair, 5 seasons has become a miracle for any scripted television to attain, period. Heck, even 3 is lucky these days.

Also, I have a feeling they’ve known 5 seasons was the length for a while and have written the ending in a way that allows them to end the show largely on their own terms.

The GPU driver issue would really only be a problem for Nvidia stuff.

Ransom may be too dumb to understand it, but he is principled enough to accept and support it.

When all else fails:

“Oh, we don’t do it for the numbers. We do it to quiet the voices in our heads.”

I love Lower Decks as a while, but I think this is the single best-written line in the entire show.

No! Needole is already bad enough!

They Might Be Giants collaborated with them and released a new t-shirt in 2025, I think to commemorate the anniversary of their initial collaboration back in the mid 2000s.

Either that, or OP amalgamated several occurrences in TNG…

I wish Lemmy had a way to distinguish between disliking the news and shooting the messenger.

?

10 minutes of Memory Alpha searching yields no results. I'm truly stumped.

EDIT: I see mentions of Beverly Crusher getting turned into a dog by Q, but nothing similar for Riker.

For me, as long as Debian still packages it and disables these features, I’ll be fine, but LibreWolf looks more and more tempting these days, and having tried it a bit, I can live with the minor annoyances.
