Yes. Even with Plex I’ve had people just never log in. Or after I log them in and set it as a favorite they just never go to the unfamiliar icon.

Most of the problem isn’t even Plex/Jellyfin/etc.'s fault, it’s that the UI of smart tvs is a nightmare hellscape running on underpowered hardware and people just want to interact with it as little as possible. The absolute best thing would be to copy Netflix/Disney/etc and throw a QR code on the screen to sidestep that by throwing authentication to the phone.

Maybe?

It’s relatively easy to tell an American company not to provide a product, like they did with Google/Apple and TikTok.

De-listing a website on a national level is considerably more difficult, especially without something equivalent to China’s Firewall.

It’s why Pirate Bay still exists.

And a 4tb SSD is the same price as a 16tb HDD.

If that trend continues, when you get to a 100tb of SSD(s) the equivalently priced HDD(s) will have 100x the capacity.

I regret that I have but one upvote to give to this comment.

The only addition I have is the glorification/growth of Section 31. They were introduced as the baddies because they are the antithesis of what the Federation is. As a foil they’re at least a gateway to interesting variations on “do the ends justify the means” and "“are short term solutions acceptable while sacrificing long term ones”. Which the Federation classically would answer with a resounding “No”.

But sci-fi Black Ops is “cool” and The Expanse was popular so lets get on that bandwagon apparently. (I love The Expanse, but different things should be different.)

I mean it’s all digital crystals and voice overrides right? Could have one console up close on the floor and a more secure one back in the corner and control from the bridge.

Best case the energy barrier is also the main thing keeping the doors open so when it fails that’s what triggers them to slam closed.

Perfect use case

Primary use case is through terminal/web interface.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the touchscreen was a similar cost to a non-touchscreen at that size and they figured “might as well”.

People are only mad about Pluto because it happened in their lifetime.

Prior planets include The Sun, Ceres in 1801, Pallas in 1802, Juno in 1804, Vesta in 1807, Astraea in 1845, Hebe, Iris, and Flora in 1847, Metis in 1848, and Hygiea in 1849.

Yeah it’s nuts how it went from “These are the bad guys. This is antithetical to the point of Star Trek and the Federation.” to “Secret agents in space that can just shoot ‘bad’ guys is cool though right?”

I just wish a single ship weren’t saving the Federation/Galaxy/Multiverse every season.

It also waffles hard between “The important part of the Federation is it’s ideals” and “Section 31 is pretty badass right?”.
