IIRC, Season 6, Chain of Command.

Reroute power to the deflector dish. Solves most problems. Failing that, reverse the polarity (even if it’s not a charged particle, such as neutrons - apologies to the Third Doctor).

What an idiot. Or is he suggesting that Harris will trigger a global thermonuclear war and so China, India or the other space powers will never be capable of interplanetary flight?

About the only thing Google is right to be concerned about here is the timeline to enforce these changes - requiring them to be implemented within a couple of weeks does indeed pose a risk that something will go wrong or be missed (causing vulnerabilities). Other than that, I look forward to Google being forced to allow competition.

Okay, this might be a non-issue: https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil/issues/2697#issuecomment-2403792309

To those that arrive here from any Youtube or Twitter posts, please know that disabling Recall via DISM works fine, and preserves the modern File Explorer (though some might consider this an anti-feature). CBS correctly disables it, and the disablement is preserved through reboots, just like with any other feature.

Edit: of course, the big problem here is that it’s still present (even disabled) and hence malware could turn it back on without you realising. Ugh.

Right… cue follow-up posts when the city fines them for operating a business without a licence.

This is one case where I think Windows is appropriately designed for its target audience.

Hell no. Do not give machines the ability to lie. We already have enough trouble with people using technology to deceive without it choosing to be deceptive on its own.

We work in protoduction.

Oh, that’s painful.

Well, they didn’t want to be part of society, so they shouldn’t be surprised when they don’t get to participate…

If you’re happy with OpenDNS logging your traffic, you could set the router to use them as the DNS server (assuming your network is DHCP and your father-in-law’s devices just use whatever DNS server your router says). As long as one of your devices keeps OpenDNS updated with your IP (the one provided by your ISP), then you can look through the traffic to see what is being accessed (and even enabling category content blocking if you wish). Of course, if your father-in-law is IT savvy, he’ll just manually set the DNS server on his devices.

The crew should come back on the Dragon and Boeing be required to solve the problems and carry out another test flight. It is unacceptable that Boeing wants to bring the astronauts back without understanding some of the failures on the Starliner.

Can’t see Kirk ever giving in to the dark side, but Sisko or Janeway…

Nope, just inherited a colleague’s codebase when they left. It’s years later and I still haven’t sorted it all out.

As someone who has inherited code like that, I would like to strangle the first programmer in the comic.

This is why you do staged rollouts of updates… not the entire planet at once.

Make sure it’s not whitespace sensitive and requires explicit typing, just to mess with everyone.

Brutal.

Yep. I have it.
