Isn't it hot?

Extremely

Makes me laugh every time.

The ability to hide posts that are the exact same but posted in Different places. It is very annoying to browse through 3,4,5 posts with the same text, same image and same poster just in different communities.

Even worse is that it is a trademark. There was a kickstarter for a game "prey for the gods" which could have gotten a trademark dispute over the usage of the name "prey" from bethesda.

So they changed the name to "praey for the gods" to not have to deal with yearlong legal battle and burn the Kickstarter funds.

Nvidia shield with a custom launcher. Google updated their Android TV home which made 60% and More of the dashboard just ads so I added projectify as my launcher. There are now only 2 apps being shown on my screen. Plex and Google Play (for updating apps).

You know, I was really sick and tired when they updated the nvidia shield with the new android TV version that makes most of the screen show stuff that are basically ads. It didn't even let me show only stuff I was interested in and this constant "oh you are hovering over this item for 0.000001s so you seem to be interested in this, let me start the video for you with audio" no god damnit I was reading something else or got a text.

I had to install a different launcher so that I could only show on the screen what I actually wanted to see. I have basically removed or reduced all ads as much as I ca.

Lately, I was at my parents place and they don't have that stuff. Even the 1.5 minutes of ads for a free service is so disruptive to me watching something.

What has this to do with PlayStation?

Well, on the shield you are still able to install a custom launcher that is more to your liking, you could disable the internet access and completely stream your own local content. But on the PS, you don't have that option and are completely at the mercy of what they think you should watch and see on your screen that you bought with a console that you also bought with your own money.

How is asking a question "defending it"?

Interesting point but isn't that more for practice? I mean more in the range of a very controlled and secure environment in which those phasers are not being able to hurt anybody. So the actual area doesn't need to be highly shielded or protected because the phasers wouldn't do any damage.

Serious question here: isn't the Warp core not the best place to do this? They probably have the right equipment and sensors in the engineering section to do that test and I would also image that the warp core would be much safer because of its added protection systems than anywhere else on the ship, right? So if the weapon blows up, they shut that section off, wait for it to blow and dust off the consoles.

It also looks like they are firing away from the warp core and not at it.

As for data standing right behind it, I mean, he is an android who doesn't fear death or injury...

I totally agree. I had it a few times in which someone calls me, rips me out of my thoughs, we discuss something, hang up and I have nothing retained from what we talked about. Or, even better, someone says something on a call and I do that and then they never said anything about that.

Even worse, I can't listen to the conversation in 1-2 weeks because that is the time I could actually work on it and remember every detail that we talked about.

Now I am strictly going with emails. Sure they can call me and we talk about the feasibility or discuss possible solutions but any request for implementation has to happen either over an email of which I then create a ticket/issue or they create one directly themselves.

That way I can prove that what I implemented was based on what was requested and if that was wrong then the request wasn't clear enough.

Mountain Man: 10 Books by Keith C. Blackmore. Basically, the Zombie Apocalypse happens and a Dude tries to survive alone, physically, mentally and emotionally while also trying to go on supply runs, running into Zombies and generally trying to stay alive while coping with everything. I think it would be good to have some other zombie-related Series that isn't The Walking Dead.

Expeditionary Force: 18 Books by Craig Alanson. Earth and Humanity are attacked by Hamster Aliens, another alien Race, Lizards, who attack the hamsters saving Earth in the process and then recruiting Humanity into a war on a galactic scale but the Hamsters aren't the real enemy of Humanity. I'm only at the end of the 5th Audiobook but they are great and I would really wish Skippy is voiced by the Audiobook Narrator R.C. Bray in a TV adaption.

Kyralia series: Been a while since I read it but a fantastic series related to magic By Trudi Canavan, I think there are just not enough good Magic-related Shows.

Tales of the Otori: A 5-Book Series by Lian Hearn is set in a fictional feudal Japan. The Main story follows a Boy, Takeo, through his life to avenge his adoptive father and escape the legacy of his biological father. Probably the only series in which I had to put down the book at one point and just had to process what was happening.

You are in the Anime Community, you should ask in a Manga related Community instead...

I tried it but it doesn't seem to work for me correctly or maybe I am doing something wrong. I patch the YouTube app and install it but as soon as I close and open it, all the changes made by the patch are apparently gone. Shorts that are hidden on the first start after the patch are visible again, ads seem to be reduced but still happen occasionally.

I disabled the default YouTube app, gave the patched version a different name, disabled auto update, repatched it but nothing seems to stick after opening it again.

And then the whole "I have to download the apk so that I can use it" because I don't have rooted my phone is just inconvenient.

I stick with my yt-dlp server and Plex instead.
