So are they going to repackage those apps and sell on the playstore? What's the purpose of buying open source apps? Or it's just to limit open source competition?

That's like, almost 100% identical to the Simple File Manager from Tibor Kaputa, why make a new one?

Just invret two letters in a wrod that are not the first or the last. You will read just fine and prboably not even notice. Like this cmoment you just read

Maybe it's "lights on" since it looks like the previous captain forgot to pay the bills

Lawyers are expenaive. The cheapest option for them, once they notice, is a quick patch to ask for more information or rejecting multiple accounts. Unless this loophole is part of their marketing campaign. After you tell your friends, you are all slightly more likely to refuel by them, both because you used their service or in hope of another loophple

That's because gmail automatically adds .ics files to your calendar. I don't even think there's a way to disable it. I checked and my solution was to not use gmail for those things. For spam emails luckily I don't have this problem

Then you should try DS9 as it's a good balance of episodic and story arc driven

So you become the brotherhood of steel

In Discovery, instead of honorable warriors, the klingons are a bunch of sneaky backstabbing and coward warriors. They also don't look like klingons at all, both in appearance and architecture, the speak like their mouth is full of potatoes and for some reasons they make ships out of coffins.

I'm not against change, what I don't like is calling another thing with its name just because you get to be part of a franchise. The only thing they have in common with klingons of other series is the language and that they want to kill. All the modifications they made, just for the sake of it, makes it look like they wanted to use the standard scifi appearal of standard bad aliens and just put the name "klingons" on it. No surprise they reverted this change and discarded all of this in season two.

Btw "the klingons started growing their hair again" might be the single most stupid line I've ever heard in a Trek show, especially considering the reason why it was said.

Everything about klingon for example, the spore drive itself. Even the uniforms!

I see your sound of vacuun cleaner and raise sound of distant cars and trucks on the highway

Honestly, I liked it much more than I thought, given what I saw on YouTube before watching the entire season, especially the klingon battles. After season 1 it gets much better, which seems to be a recurring theme in Trek shows, but for a very different reason herr.

Altought I really don't like most character (especially Burhnam) and I find most of the representation of seasoned officers overly dramatic and silly (looking at you Tilly), most of the themes are well treated and some episodes were particularly good (I enjoyed the mirror episodes more than I could think possible given the first episodes).

Sometimes it feels a very generic scifi show and it doesn't get me too attached, but it's a decent enough show to keep watching.

I feel like the problem with Discovery is the same of the warp 10 episode in Voyager. A bunch of people create the most OP way of travelling and barely use it, and don't tell me that the ship is unique and Stamets is the only person in the universe in the following centuries to be able to use it, because that just doesn't make any sense, it's a cheap trick to justify why such an incredible technology has never been mentioned after, not even by a super villain that gives no crap about genetic augmentation.

At least with Voyager you could just write it off as a badly written episode, but you cannot ingore a whole series. Yes even TNG had some magical guy make the ship travel fantaszilion light years, but at least it was out of their control and they could not exploit it.

Also, Trek shows have not been the most consistent ever, but Discovery really went their way on completely distegarding every Star Trek lore existing in the first season which, personal theory, is a major reason for the writers to "get rid" of the ship at the end of season two. Discovery just did not make sense in the universe created by the othee series, to put it where it does no more damage.

I had a look at Memory Alpha and you are right, he is mentioned. Yet it was so forgettable that I removed it every time I rewatched the show

On a different note, what surprised me the most afted rewatching voyager's pilot after a good 15 years is that Janeway had a boyfriend/husband/partner. I mean he was mentioned in at least another episode during 1st season but I'm pretty sure he has been forgotten by then

Just use raid6 instead of raid5 as ready to die disks could die simultaneously

It happened to me when in the middlw of falling asleep, no drug involved except for some good sleep deprivation. You can see with your eyes closed, pretty trippy

If you are a technical person, videogames can give you things a physical object cannot do. Minecraft with BuildCraft was so fun, engaging and stimulating in creating automated factories

There are browser estensions that do it, don't remember the name though

Don't forget about orbital mechanics. For a rendez vous between two ships you need a lot of maneuvers in opposite directions, it's not like shown in movies where the fly like airplanes. If two ships are close to each other they will likely be in different orientations and it would be a waste of energy to face each other since communications still happen at thens of thousands of kilometers of distance
