Apple claims the heat issues with the 15 Pro stem from poorly optimized code and will be resolved through OS and third-party app updates. But if the thermal engineering truly is the culprit, then they are dealing with a fundamental hardware flaw.
And if addressing the heat issue is their goal, there is only so much they can do in terms of software optimization. Unless they get very lucky and strike gold in terms of finding and correcting poor code, they will likely need to make performance worse to achieve the desired result.
Mariner's fighting just to be fighting. She has grown a lot over the past seasons. Her undefined angry outburst in this episode seemed pointless. There's nothing keeping JG Lieutenant Mariner from her Ensign Mariner renegade behavior and schemes.
Seems realistic to me. Have you never watched someone spend so long fighting that even peace starts to make them uneasy?
It's hard watching your loved ones go through it. You do all you can to get them on the right track. You show them that you believe in them and that you support them. They start making progress. They get to a good place. And then inevitably they run into the identity crisis where they have to make a conscious decision to unlearn all of their unconscious insecurities and defense mechanisms.
They literally start fighting their progress for no reason.
Mariner's depiction with a physical fight was a little on the nose, but it hits really close to home for anyone who has ever supported someone in that way before.
It's a fear response, and it's extremely difficult to break the cycle. "Everything is okay! Wait, is it too okay? Something bad is coming."
Rutherford and Tendi's discomfort pretending to be a couple made me uncomfortable. They've clearly been sweet on each other for a while. I could have done without forcing them into this pretend couple scenario, and let their relationship develop at its previous pace.
If anything it felt a little like a reality check for all the shippers. I was afraid they were going to play it the other direction, with the two of them actually falling for each other once they were in the position of role-playing. Feels like they set the record straight that the romantic chemistry is not there right now and that it won't be forced.
It was really great to not only see Leeta again, but to see her as quite the shrewd negotiator. DS9 played them both as a little naive at different points, so it was extremely gratifying to see the continuation of their growth as well as the very sharp skills that Leeta picked up along the way on Ferenginar.
Orbs - This card is based on the Ten of Pentacles and depicts ten orbs, but in canon there are only nine orbs ; the recent "Star Trek" ongoing comic has added a tenth
Was the tenth not the Orb of the Emissary that Sisko found?
