  • “Compact” is a bit of a stretch. But the size of the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro (non-XL) is pretty nice. I currently have a 7 Pro and while the “screen real estate” is nice, it’s really on the upper end of what I’m willing to use. (Both in terms of size and weight) I bought my mom a Pixel 8 recently and I really liked the form factor when I set up the phone. It’s large enough to fit everything on the screen but small enough to use comfortably. Since I really want a telephoto lens the non-XL Pro version seems like it’s made for me. 😄





  • I’m all for trying new things within the Star Trek universe!

    I’m usually in the same boat. Because IDIC, you know? I like it when new shows expand the Trek universe and try something new. Just look at DS9. It got a lot of backlash in the 90s (“too dark”, “not Gene’s vision” etc.) and nowadays it’s very popular and often ranked somewhere around TNG.

    But this Section 31 movie… I don’t know. Nothing about seems appealing. The main role is basically Space Hitler. It was already nonsense how they tried to redeem that character on Discovery while she had no redeeming qualities. Compare that to other Trek “villains” like Gul Dukat who at least had some sort of moral compass, even if it was a bit skewed. But Georgiou? There’s nothing. She’s just one-dimensionally evil. Do we really need a movie with her in the main role? 😕






  • Werde vielleicht ein mal pro Stunde zu unrecht angepiepst.

    Das ist schon einmal zu viel. Mein letztes eigenes Auto hatte noch nicht so einen technischen Schnickschnack. Immer wenn ich mir jetzt ein Auto von Freunden leihe oder mir einen Mietwagen nehme, piept mich irgendwas völlig unvermittelt während der Fahrt an und lenkt mich vom Verkehr ab, was richtig gefährlich sein kann.

    Noch schlimmer sind nur die (un)smarten Systeme, die dann sogar aktiv in die Fahrzeugführung eingreifen, zum Beispiel Spurassistenten, die einer Spur folgen wollen, die gar nicht existiert (und mich damit beispielsweise in einer Autobahnbaustelle in einen neben mir fahrenden LKW reinlenken wollte).

    Dieser Scheiß ist brandgefährlich und gehört verboten.
