Some songs work better for this than others. My first realization of this was the scene from Night Shift, where he has The Rolling Stones’ “Jumping Jack Flash” on a looped cassette in his car.

Probably can count on one hand any tech or other thing from Black Mirror that’s a good thing overall.

This is why I diversify into all types of scifi and fantasy.

Wow, that’s one of those words/phrases that you can feel when you read it. SHIT

Feeding an input into an LLM is exactly the opposite of the rule of thumb of sanitizing your inputs. Might as well light the gasoline as you throw it.

A keeper for sure. Just be sure to respond in kind.

Life, uh, finds a way. The thing is, which life adapts to the new conditions is probably limited, and there’s only so many more billions of years to try another attempt to get off the rock. (Some will say 5 billion, but it’s much less than that since the Sun will start expanding slowly first before it reaches the red giant stage).

I do think life is possible all over the place, but the window of time it gets for each place can be very narrow. A close of false starts or resets and the opportunity to be more than simple life forms is lost.

Or the Elysium beds used to regularly cure anything, but only available to the ultra-wealthy. Oh, wait, we already have a large part of that now, at least the restrictions part.

Thanks. I’ve browsed the instructions on how people typically do it, but I was hoping that there might be a way to basically transfer the WIndows copy and all its stuff into a virtual version. That seems to be not that simple. Perhaps the procedure is to establish a new WIndows in VM and then move/install what you have on the old. Which is why I’ve avoided it, that’s a lot of work.

Qa’Pla’!

Lost opportunity to have the image include the torpedo firing.

The best things out of the Motion Picture in no particular order: the jumpstart of the Klingon and Vulcan languages, the beauty shots of the Enterprise, and the opening scene (which would include the intro of the Klingon leitmotif).

I think it depends on how your Windows setup sees it. I’ve never had a huge issue in the various Linux versions over the years, but I have had to tweak things now and then, especially after a Windows update which gets really upset at not being the only OS. My Windows/Ubuntu now works fine, was simple to install (it’s on a separate drive which helps), and the Windows issues are minor things I don’t worry about because if I use it now it’s only briefly and I’m back to Linux. Still don’t know enough to convert Windows to a VM, and I’m not sure that would be better than just keeping it this way.

The best way to find out what works for you is to dual boot. That way you can either use WIndows for things that won’t work or are trouble to fix, but you can start getting used to Linux. Plus you can try out different flavors and see what feels like you. You don’t have to decide to go Linux and throw out what you know. Ideally you can do one drive for Windows, one for Linux, but you can also share the single drive with two partitions as long as there is space.

If you have trouble getting into it when you do read it, consider an audio book. Hearing the names and places instead of trying to figure them out makes it a bit easier to pay attention to the actual story.

The limit isn’t how fast it can go, but at what point control is lost.

A good representative of the people doesn’t wait until it affects them personally, they have empathy for others in situations that they may never experience. Better late than never, I guess.

Why use many words when one pic will do.

Wow, they remembered all of us.

Or the clock is now digital and no one understands what the numbers on the pole were for, but are scared to remove them in case it breaks things.

Data is probably much more than probability rating for choices… but we don’t know how a positronic brain works either, so…
