Well, depending on your use case, you might not care. If you want casual power point editing on your laptop, just slap a cheap key and it will work fine, buy another one for your home desktop and you are still <10% of a “genuine” licence. If you change your pc just buy a new one and you might even find a newer version. As for the MS account, I don’t know anyone who uses it for office licence sharing, so I can’t tell about it

You can buy legit office keys for like 4$ on many sites. It might just be a couple years old

How would random laywers have access to your number?

If I recall, Kurzon was pressured into leaving the station because she had too many ties to Jadzia’s friends and even her husband.

Considering how much money a salary is, it’s easy to see how 30/40€ of license (or whatever that is) is a negiglible sum to save on potentially enormous legal troubles.

Also, depending how big the company is, automatic installation and deployment systems might be in place, and changing that also has a cost.

That’s exactly how it feels: a more modern and more powerful notepad++, with lots of syntax support and easier to add new languages (even better than code in my opinion). Code seems to try and be an ide for everything, but if I’m doing a complex project, I’ll be getting a specific ide, for everything else a good text editor and a Makefil is all I need

Microsoft website does this (especially their useless answer), I guess it’s malice

(Assuming you are using your smartphone) check your battery saving options. Sometimea battery saving for the entire phone or for the clock app can make it less “respondent” to times

Why is it so obsessed with “white dudes”? Even if you are soecifically tagreting them, it seems odd to keep repeating it, especially since people who are goinf to vote a black woman of asian origins as preaident should tend not to be white supremacists

Don’t forget Paris’ and Janeway’s space lizard babies

I can’t tell you much about acting, because I see the shows subbed. However, the writing is terrible, in any language. Not only their choice don’t make sense and there are constant plot holes, they are supposed to be seasoned Starfleet veterans, yet they act to dramatically, so emotionally, illogically and scared all the time.

And it’s not a smart “logic vulcans vs illogic humans” confrontation, it’s not a quirk of well defined characters with balance in their emotions; they are simply badly written for dramatic and sitting-on-the-edge type of narrative, which is fine I guess, but it’s a cheap way to get traction in the narrative, which doesn’t hold well for fans of the series that enjoyed the professionalism of Starfleet captains, supposedly the best of the best, capable of facing every menace.

Again, you want to do such a series, do it. But brand it as Star Trek, and you will get this kind of criticism.

That’s not true. Enterprise was new when released and I find it quite ok. Might not be the best of the shows, but it tried a different narration perspective and decent writinf. SNW is very new and very solid, despite a similar context to DIS, with a more modern narration, relevant morality and even a less serious tone at times. It’s just a better show, comparable to the “classic” ones, despite being a few years old

I mean, if human and terrans are identical, expect for the dim light thing, you can expect any terran to have ptsd. If you put a human brain with its psicology and needs, every single person will have ptsd from the traumatic life of violence, betrayal and torture they must endure.

People that had qaulity shows for decades expect quality. If you want to make a scifi show either don’t call it Star Trek or accept the criticism

It’s pretty terrible, not terrible enough to not see. The main problem is they made it very very difficult to care at all about anyone. Burnam is the most intollerable captain ever, they barely develop any character at all, and if they do, it’s only to kill them immediately after and try and squeeze some easy feelings from us. Well developed characters are instead falsely killed, but ultimately protected by plot armor. As you mentioned, Stamets and Saru are the only really decent guys.

I don’t really think that’s the same thing. The enterprise D was the flagship of the federation. It was THE ship and was given important mission, but it didn’t save the entire literal galaxy in it’s own. It had whacky adventure, did a lot of first contacts, fought important battles. But discovery single handedly solved galaxy level menaces and fought against entire alien fleets, all without very little help. That just doesn’t make any sense

It has a better car navigation interface and some nice features like traffic amd live events data, but it really looks like it’s update much, if any at all. Organic Maps is a little more barebone, but it constatly gets new features

Divert all available power from life support to warp drive

We need to, because they are the only ones fighting against Chrome monopoly. It’s so sad to read news like this

The Kelvin line of movies is 100% non canon in my head. It’s good they made a separate parallel universe, so I can pretend it never happened and just go on enjoying the rest of the trek
