That 1:1 recreation of Voyager (inside and out) is looking hot. I wish there were a Star Citizen-style game to go with it, alas. Voyager was my era of Star Trek, and still my favorite

The age group that generates the most ad revenue (14-59) simply is gone. Switched to streaming.

Before these new numbers the big private networks already prepared to shut down the linear TV in 2030. Yes. Shut it down. Pulling the plug on the whole distribution system.

The market is shifting […]

I am working for a larger TV network atm. And let me share something you might suspect, but haven't heard directly from the source.

Linear TV usage is dropping fast. In August we had a record low of 93 min average watch time in Germany. The year before, it was at 106. This fact, together with […]

In Nederland zit de negativiteit bovenop en dat vinden wetenschappers opmerkelijk? Lijkt mij geen nieuws https://nos.nl/l/2581175

Nederlandse bliksem blijkt anders dan op andere plekken ter wereld

In ons land beweegt de bliksem omlaag, in bijvoorbeeld de VS gaat-ie omhoog. Astronomen weten nog niet hoe dat komt.

What Happens When Windows Shuts Down?

When you choose Shut Down, Windows begins a sequence of orderly steps. It tells each program to close its files, to set down what it was working on. Most comply. Some resist. Windows asks again, more firmly. Eventually, all but one obey. There is always one.

Once the programs are silent, Windows turns to its own parts. It lowers the desktop, dims the icons, pulls the taskbar out of sight. The clock is the last to go. Time has to be persuaded.

You will then see the black screen, and the message: It is now safe to turn off your computer. This is true. You are free to press the button. Many users do.

If you wait, however, something else will happen. Slowly, the monitor will begin to glow again. Not with the desktop, not with any familiar prompt, but with a pale light, as though something is behind the glass. It will not speak, but you will understand that it has been waiting there, patiently, for every shutdown you have ever performed.

You may turn off the machine at this point. You should. If you do not, the light will brighten until it hurts to look at. Some users report that it does not stop. Some report that the monitor grows warm, then hot, then soft.

If this occurs, pull the plug immediately. Windows will forgive you. The thing behind the glass will not.

Windows 95 help viewer.
Q: "Can Windows protect me?"
A: No.

"Sideloading" is the rentseeker word for "being able to run software of your choosing on a computing device you purchased". There is no reasonable case for an operating system developer having a say over what programs you run on your hardware.

De rimpelbuisobstakelbeveiliger op de verbindingsweg van Amsterdam (#a2) naar Den Haag (#a12) moet worden vervangen na een ongeval eerder vandaag. De verbinding blijft zeker tot 12.00 uur dicht zodat de rimpelbuisobstakelbeveiligerplaatsingsploeg veilig kan werken.

I propose replacing calories with watt-hours.

- Almost same value (1 kilocalorie / Calorie is ~1.1 watt-hours)
- more intuitive for people who use electricity
- never the confusing between calories (science), Calories (food, which is technically kilocalories), kilocalories, and 'kilo Calories' […]
