I assume it was because you were tracking down instances of Klingons hugging?

They’re constantly expanding the Active Directory schema and adding a lot of cool new features to Active Directory

you mean by letting it rot and become a security nightmare while trying to force everyone to move over to azureAD/entraID?

CBS Studios produces most of them and then Paramount+ holds the distribution rights in most cases

I drive an EV (not a tesla) and I agree. I have it primarily because its cheaper to run.. My ancient previous car didn't owe me anything, I ran it into the ground.

And there's that feeling of dread when you remember you will die one day

Was expecting the juice media

Quantumania got a bad rap, but I actually enjoyed it. It was pretty CG heavy and that detracted from it a bit, but it was still fun and an interesting episode to start what ever season we're up to now.

Still no actual premiere dates other than "November"?

Prodigy has been removed from Paramount Plus.

Technically yes they do own Star Trek, but the way the accounting works is they sell the broadcast/streaming rights back to themselves. It's a bit convoluted, but taking the rights away from their own service means CBS as a studio can either resell it to another broadcaster/streamer or failing that write it off for tax purposes.

It sucks, but all the studios rig it up this way

Yes... Microsoft hearts Linux... When it runs in azure selling CPU cycles or maybe WSL

There is nothing technochron blorbinator in the Trek lexicon - I'm saying that writing example technobabble like that shows a lack of understanding of the source.

I don't have any specific examples, but I remember the first 2 seasons of discovery and a little in the first season of Picard getting Trek particles wrong and not knowing systems. It got better once they hired Erin MacDonald and brought on David Mack and a few other novelists to consult on prodigy and I think Picard iirc

edit: Hey look I can play the edit game too - I provided a poorly researched example and explained that technology use not well used in early discovery - I acknowledged that being critical of technology use can be hand waived because its fictitious and apparently that's not good enough for our combative OP. I also provided sources on the franchise now using specialists to keep track of technology and technobabble, and advised that I am not a "nutrek hater" as our contentious colleague here had to go and attack me personally - check below for the receipts and tax returns!

Things like androidpay/apple pay type functions require a chain of security checks, on Android it's levels of safety net. some banking apps require similar
