So it's not just me. Okay. Of the group, I was the only one who experienced that.

Google Workspace (what the company I work for uses for collaboration).
- I don't want Gemini/AI. At all.
- If you disable it, it still pops up constantly.
I have C->Micro adapters though they aren't tethered. I'm just spoiled by only carrying C cables in my bag and being able to just grab any cable without looking or digging (they're all 100W and video-capable except my 10ft one).
I've only tried salvia twice, and it always made me feel like my body was being twisted clockwise. Not for me.

Probably, yeah. I was similarly disappointed when my Kobo came with micro USB, but considering I love everything else about it, I gave it a pass. That, and I typically only have to charge it once a month.
I've got USB-C to micro adapters, but I've only got 4 of them and either keep losing them or they get semi-permanently installed to a Raspberry Pi or something.
I'm currently reading "Star Trek: Destiny" and the Borg are the big bad. Enjoying it so far (only about 1/3 into the first book of the trilogy).
I don't really have a solid answer, and have only recently gone down the TrekLit rabbit hole, but I'd venture a couple of guesses:
- Many of them utilize existing characters, so that might be problematic given the age of the cast and/or their availability.
- I vaguely recall that existing characters for different series have to pay royalties to the writer who invented the character. I think this was the case for Nick Locarno and why Tom Paris is basically "We have Nick Locarno at home"
- Probably some other IP legalese mucking things up as it is wont to do
When I posted yesterday looking to get some book suggestions, many of them involved existing characters. I think the "The Fall" series is all original characters, so it would probably be a good candidate. There's probably others, but I'm not familiar enough yet to name any more.
The actor age / availability problem is probably solvable if the series was animated, though.
The Destiny trilogy by David Mack
Bought that one yesterday and am literally reading it now. Loving it so far; the pacing is fantastic.
Not long after the end of DS9. Garak remained on Cardassia Prime helping to rebuild after the end of the Dominion War. The framing structure of the book is a series of journal entries and letters from Garak to Dr. Bashir, so it covers a lot of time periods.
I know, right? Ballmer was batshit crazy but at least you could squint your eyes and his decisions kind-of made sense (e.g. Windows 8 was a turd, but you could at least see what he was trying to do). Nadella has just shoved in cloud and now AI bullshit since he took over, and no thanks.
It is managed, but I can disable smart features and remove it as an app. But it still pops up constantly (basically like an ad). If you try to do anything from the pop-up, it tells you it needs to be enabled to work. So, it knows it's disabled but still shoves itself in my face as if I accidentally clicked into 4 different deep settings pages to disable it lol.
I can and do use FF, but I use Chrome for Workspace because .... stupid company policy reasons. It works in FF, but the way they have SSO configured, you get logged out every 45 minutes.
