Last post by BLUEVOODU - April 02, 2025, 10:34:17 AM@CreepinDeth I remember others voting for an undated master topic of said subject back in the day. This is cool... keeps 1 long string on insanity. Though I do like the organization of different year topics.

News / Leaks / Rumors / Re: Nintendo Switch 2
Last post by BLUEVOODU - April 01, 2025, 03:24:42 PMAwesome post @Grindspine --> Linus Definitely had a great video. Pretty funny... Nintendo... shut up and take my money. 
I wonder how available these systems will be. Also, interesting that it has the power of a Ps4 / Xbox One... These are 10 year old systems now. I know Nintendo is not always on the leading edge of power, and the utilize what they have extremely well... creating some of the best games. However, a little more power may not hurt.
Then again... they've thrived for a reason.

General Discussion / Re: Picard - Is An Awesome Ser...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - April 01, 2025, 12:40:15 PMI am also going back through some of the older series. It's pretty cool
Outside the liberties taken... and coming from not 100% remembering every main or back story... It was very enjoyable to watch. Again, there were certain points that were rough and some over active at certain spots, but the series was very enjoyable to watch. Maybe if I knew everything... and was a uber Trekkie or something... it might matter much more lol
Quote from: targetrasp on March 31, 2025, 07:05:19 PMI get the hate, when Marvel or DC takes too much liberty with some of the comic story lines I read as a kid, I took it as a put-off. Sometimes big changes work, other times they don't. People are always going to find issue when others take liberties with source material. I'm less resistant to it than some, I just ask for quality, which in general does seem to be fading.Especially in this day and age... it really seems like everyone complains about everything. I get it, there are opinions about... and strong opinions at that.

Recently finished all of the original Netflix Daredevil show in preparation for Born Again. Season 3 is a solid season and I'm glad I went back to it.

General Discussion / Re: Picard - Is An Awesome Ser...
Last post by targetrasp - March 31, 2025, 07:05:19 PMI loved it for what it was. There were flaws but it told an entertaining story. Die-hards will / did hate it. Without spoiling anything, there's a back story that was rushed and had liberties taken. Even the showrunner addressed it, basically admitting it was shoehorned in.
I didn't appreciate the earlier series until later in life and have not been through all of it yet. They were more soap than action, so I wrote them off and have only recently started watching the legacy stuff. The Next Generation movies were great and cut the fluffy stuff to seemingly attract a wider movie-going audience and was more my thing. I think that's why I liked Picard. It took a little more of the action route and had some ties to the Star Trek materials I most enjoyed.

PC Rigs, Builds, and Peripheral Devices / Re: 2012 Macbook Pro Running M...
Last post by retro junkie - March 31, 2025, 11:04:04 AMIt was not really that hard for me to pick up on the Mac OS, I am thinking it is because I went from Linux to the Mac OS. There was a lot of things in the Mac OS that I felt at home with. It might have been the Distro that I was using at the time. I like the Mac OS and I like the hardware. They feel short lived due to the lifespan of the OS, but I guess that would be true for Windows hardware too. I just can't keep purchasing their hardware every cycle. And I get it. A place like Apple builds their business model around selling new hardware.
The thing about these old Mac Book Pros is that they are a solid, tough, rugged, reliable computer if you get a good one. The bad is that technology changes so fast that it leaves a good thing behind eating dust. As long as you are settled, like I am, and don't need anything more powerful to run some new program, why toss and change? Security is really the only issue if you are at all on the net. (I am sure a lot of people use phones for what I do, banking, bill pay, etc.)
I am so glad that Linux is an option for this Mac Book. I am not sure but I think blue tooth is a little glitchy, if I remember, I just don't use it. That is the only thing I found an issue using MX Linux. I know using Sonoma on my Mac Mini I can't use blue tooth at all, very buggy. I can't use my Apple touch pad or the Apple keyboard.
As long as they keep making Linux for old hardware I will keep using it. It is the only thing that lasts.
