Nedry was literally a computer scientist and systems designer / programmer from Cambridge. Arnold was a theme park engineer (designing rides and control systems; some programming involved but a whole different paradigm than developing large systems).

Source: Have read the novel 50+ times.

Arnold was an engineer, though. He was competent in using the system and not totally lost when poking around the code, but he's no computer scientist. Basically, he was a power user / sysadmin rather than a developer.

I am not a gamer these days and am unfamiliar with Arc Raiders, but if there's any way to incorporate the Klingon death ritual when one of your squad goes down, that would probably be pretty epic

I can't even do "vacation" Klingon lol. All I know is Qapla' means "success!" and you call someone a petaQ when you want to insult them.

Fucking with and/or interfering with someone trying to bring their lost pet home is in the top 3 dick moves you can do as a human.

Just a plain, simple tailor 😎

Literally the best thing you can do for your experience here is just start blocking any account that starts throwing out political labels at any other account. Just block and don't look back.

[–] IcedRaktajino@startrek.website 27 points 2 weeks ago

Considering I can't even identify the flavor by the label, I'm gonna say, no, probably not.

In the "DS9: Millennium" trilogy, that's pretty much exactly what kicks off the plot lol.

Basically pretending to be an organic grass-roots movement or to plant the seeds but the movement is to either destabilize or otherwise benefit a foreign entity.

How do you do my fellow Americans? How about we just start burning stuff down?

Basically shit like that (it's not always that transparent except when it is exactly that transparent). See it pretty often even on here (less so since I've enabled "turbo" on my block button).

I guess what I'm saying is we should get the hell rid of it all so eventually public opinion won't be swayed by cheap foreign labor, bots, and people who just want to burn it all down.

I've blocked so many accounts on here that are clearly not Americans just straight up trying to incite shit in US news / politics communities. I don't know what's worse: the number of upvotes those get or how transparent they are.

Not sure if ADHD specific or a symptom of being "on the spectrum" or a bit of both (have never been diagnosed either way but show all the signs), but I have a very low capacity "social battery" and am very sensitive to noise. The end result is I crave (relative) solitude and quiet or else I'm useless at getting anything done.

 

[I literally had this thought in the shower this morning so please don't gatekeep me lol.]

If AI was something everyone wanted or needed, it wouldn't be constantly shoved your face by every product. People would just use it.

Imagine if printers were new and every piece of software was like "Hey, I can put this on paper for you" every time you typed a word. That would be insane. Printing is a need, and when you need to print, you just print.

 

The latest must-have accessory is a "stop-scrolling bag" -- a tote packed with analog activities like watercolors and crossword puzzles. We spend hours glued to our screens. "Analog bags," as they're also called, are one way millennials and Gen Zers are reclaiming that time. "I basically just put everything I could grab for instead of my phone into a bag," including knitting, a scrapbook and a Polaroid camera, says Sierra Campbell, the content creator behind the trend.

The 31-year-old keeps one bag at home in Northern California, carrying it from room to room, and another in her car. The trend has quickly spread on social media, part of a bigger shift to unplug. Roughly 1,600 TikTok posts were tagged #AnalogLife during the first nine months of 2025 -- up over 330% from the same period last year, according to TikTok data shared with Axios.

"It speaks to an incredible desperation and desire for experiences that return our attention to us, that fight brain-rotting, that are tactile ... that involve creating over scrolling," says Beth McGroarty, vice president of research at the Global Wellness Institute.

 

An intensive international study was coordinated by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and led by the BBC

New research coordinated by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and led by the BBC has found that AI assistants -- already a daily information gateway for millions of people -- routinely misrepresent news content no matter which language, territory, or AI platform is tested. The intensive international study of unprecedented scope and scale was launched at the EBU News Assembly, in Naples. Involving 22 public service media (PSM) organizations in 18 countries working in 14 languages, it identified multiple systemic issues across four leading AI tools. Professional journalists from participating PSM evaluated more than 3,000 responses from ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and Perplexity against key criteria, including accuracy, sourcing, distinguishing opinion from fact, and providing context.

Key findings:

  • 45% of all AI answers had at least one significant issue.
  • 31% of responses showed serious sourcing problems - missing, misleading, or incorrect attributions.
  • 20% contained major accuracy issues, including hallucinated details and outdated information.
  • Gemini performed worst with significant issues in 76% of responses, more than double the other assistants, largely due to its poor sourcing performance.
  • Comparison between the BBC's results earlier this year and this study show some improvements but still high levels of errors.
 

Solved. Thank you @sandbo00@feddit.org . It's an MHF4 connector. Will leave the post up for future people with the same question.

I've been playing around with an Orange Pi Zero 2W the last week. When I finally got the point of putting a case together, I was going to replace the little whip with a U.FL->SMA cable for an external antenna. However, the U.FL connector is too large for this.

This connector is the same form factor as U.FL but about half the size.

Is micro U.FL a thing? My Google-fu is failing me, the acronym stew is thick here, and I'd really like to wrap up this project with a nice external antenna. OrangePi hasn't been helpful - they just call it "Wifi + BT Antenna connector" like that explains it all lol

As a general rule, I will never click a link unless it clearly states where it's taking me. Except I needed to see what the error meant, so I clicked open on it. Yay interstitial ads! 😠

 
 
 

In a game that's all about decision-making aboard the U.S.S. 'Voyager,' of course players are going to be asked to tackle one of the most infamous decisions made in 'Star Trek.'

Last month, we were very excited to see the announcement of Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown, a new survival game from Daedelic Entertainment and Gamexcite that tasks you with charting the U.S.S. Voyager‘s journey home from the Delta Quadrant as you repair the ship in the wake of the event that flung it 70,000 light-years across space in the first place, and make your own decisions from the captain’s chair about where to go, who to fight, and who’s on your crew.

And yes, that means you will be able to decide whether or not there is justice for Tuvix.

...

Star Trek Voyager – Across the Unknown still doesn’t have a release window, but aside from being available to wishlist on Steam for PC players, it’s now been confirmed that the game is also coming to Xbox Series X and S as well as PS5.

Edit 4: Color correction and trying to make it less dark. I also finally seem to have found the correct slider in GIMP to turn DS9 into a sitcom (or maybe a Mexican soap opera?)
