Blu ray discs cost pennies to manufacture, especially at scale.

Also, Sony owns the blu ray IP.

Also also, if they gave a fuck they could just ship 2 discs in a box. Like they did at the tail end of the xbox 360 days.

They'd just rather not deal with it anymore.

I agree from the standpoint of research for research sake is still worth doing but anyone telling you that they have a working quantum computer that is just around the corner from working is most likely grifting.

The actual data at this point.

It sounds crazy in 2026 but check your local library.

He got it because it was the fastsest car in the world at the time and he wanted the "best" regardless of anything else.

Makes sense that ghost rider would be horny for a skellington.

I prefer trek and its not even close but the Star Wars music is just better.

Also, I love Its Been a Long Road, but never got into Enterprise that much.

And another thing where Wars wins is the music. Star Trek has some memorable music but Star Wars is iconic.

Also the theme from Robocop 2 is almost the same as the theme for Star Trek 4.

What are the unwritten rules of airplane windows? (startrek.website)
 

In life we all have unwritten rules like how far behind someone you stand while you are in line or the "nod of recognition" you give someone if you make eye contact while they are walking toward you.

There are lots of these about airplanes, famously about 3-deep-seats.

But I'm curious about the unwritten rule for the window.

To me, if you are in the window seat, unless someone specifically needs the window to be open for motion sickness or something, you are responsible for closing the window once the plane is at cruising altitude so people can sleep if they need to. If you dont do that, I find it a little grating.

Curious what other folks think.

Current best no neutral smart switches (startrek.website)
 

Moved into my own house again recently. I would like to get a lot of stuff automated like I had in my previous house.

Unfortunately, theres a lot if old wiring here and most switches have no neutrals in the box.

What is the current best option for smart switches (ideally dimmers) that dont require a neutral wire?

I'd prefer a non-wifi solution that doesnt require a proprietary hub but it seems like there are limited options anyway and I am having trouble finding almost any good options that dont require a neutral.

Anybody using anything they really like?

Help! My device is only halfway? unlocked (startrek.website)
 

I have a Motorola Razr+ 2023 from T-Mobile that I have had for 2 years and is now paid off and unlocked.

It works with physical sims from other carriers but no esim will begin to activate. It only pops up with a message to call T-mobile which I did but, they won't help me because I am no longer a customer.

The carrier unlock in the settings of android says unlocked so I don't know what to do next.

Any ideas or fun ADB things I can try?

Do we like Beelink? (lemmy.ml)
 

These seem like ideal machines for workstations, for mom and dad, and for virtualization hosts.

This model, the Beelink EQi12 even has a built in power supply so managing them in a rack is also super handy. And of course the price is not too shabby either.

I have had pretty good luck with these in the past but I'm interested in hearing other's experiences, if any.

I can't imagine that they are 100% on top of firmware updates, but have they had issues in the past with Windows keys or any other shady stuff I should know about?
