Is it possible to remap the copilot key on the new computers back to the control key? I keep pressing it to skip words, but end up needing to use two hands now.

I’m on Aurora and while I got it mostly working now, I would not call it user friendly.

Playing them for hardware only is different from paying for hardware and then providing all your personal information 24/7 to them.

I’m trying Aurora on a Dell with Amd. I had the bitlocker issue coming from windows 11 that slowed the installation process. The os seems fine, I’ve used Mint and Ubuntu. I spent a good hour trying to get my flatpak apps to show up in the launcher, so that wasn’t fun.

While I like the concept of keeping the os immutable and all apps running in a container, I’m not sure this is the best setup for me. I feel less in control which I have become used to under other distros.

Anyway, I’ll stick with it a bit more and see how it goes. Battery life is good and everything else seems to be working.

You’ll be fine, a lot of the shows need to grow, but I think Voyager and DS9 from the gate is pretty solid. However, I agree that DS9 is actually better the more you rewatch. I didn’t care too just for it the first time, but on the second watch 💪

Voyager’s got that family feel with the cast that you just enjoy being around.

TNG is best to start after season 1. Not saying season one is bad, but it might be harder to get into for a new comer.

Enterprise is good is you like your uniforms tight.

The original series is great to get a lot of the origin information. I guess it’s hard for new comers, but I grew up with it, so has a special accepting place in my heart.

Deep Space 9 is my personal favorite for political sci-fi. However, there is the occasional whatever episode. This is best to watch is order all the way through.

I still think that lower decks and strange new worlds can not be fully enjoyed without some other older trek shown under your belt, but it’s only a few episodes so you can finish them both quickly.

I abandoned Discovery after season 2 or 3 (I forget) I hear it got ok later on, but idk.

Picard, just watch season 3. I watched the others and then season 3 came out. I forgot about the others.

Cool. A album of all the movie themes could be nice. Greatest hits of start trek… Star Trek the rainbow album… 🕳️

Season one is alright, I like 5 and 6 actually.

Stranger things season one is the best of that show. Each episode flows great and keeps you going to the next one. It really is a hard one to stop once you start. The later seasons are ok, but never reaching season one greatness for me.

Zootopia has a scene that shows this issue on microwave meals.

Encoding to AV1 is good to cooking CPUs.

Street fighter 2 turbo on SNES is my jam.

Definitely need to go back a few years for some stock trades …

No worries, I think the way I write may have caused confusion. Trek on. 🖖

Yes, that’s why I picked them up.

? I prefer the original special effects, but that’s what I grew up with and it gives me the most comfort. I think the only way to watch the original is with the blurays at this point.

Back in the day prime used to have both available for streaming, but the golden era has ended.

If you want the highest quality video and audio the Blu-ray is the best you can get.

Looking at the moon is always fun.

Yes. If you read Dracula, Dr Van Hellsing explains all this and many other interesting things…

Nice, been waiting for this as I abandoned Discovery once her story was over. I view it as a TV movie or basically a long double episode.

I don’t place my speakers in the right spots, but luckily (like Sonos and others) room correction software really helps with this. Especially after A1Evo.

Soundbars are a great solution really, I never understood the negativity towards them. It’s all I recommend to my friends as I know they are unable to comprehend what a receiver is and then what speakers to get and let’s not go into subs.

I didn’t read much yet, but does private space have support for a separate VPN connection? That’s why I use work profile, I have it for my tailscal connection to my media servers back home when I’m away, but don’t want to drop off my main VPN. So the work profile allows for this.

I agree, this isn’t elegant, but works great. There are also even smaller options, but this one the battery lasts forever.
