Re: Page 220: Clearing the Path
Tempo as a character could have been conceived later as well, long after the original interrogation scene was done. I wasn't around in the Outsider eocene era though, so I assume Arioch would be the only one who'd know the answer to that.

Re: How Do You Adapt Outsider Space Battles To Film/TV?
Yesterday's Enterprise (TNG) had one theme that was pretty great, 'Skin of Teeth' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cdy-vIbbeA, for the battle with the alternate timeline Enterprise-D fighting the Klingons. Helps set a different tone than the typical optimistic space explorer vibe of TNG.

Re: SSD Versus HDD For Computer Storage... Pros and Cons
SSDs do have data loss, you're going to get bit rot (which will occur largely without your knowledge, silent data loss), errors with controllers, what-have-you, just not mechanical errors like hard drives, but both types of storage can most certainly fail catastrophically. If you've got a machine wi...

Re: SSD Versus HDD For Computer Storage... Pros and Cons
Newer computers support NVMe SSDs which absolutely dust older hard drives (consider a typical laptop hard drive, a Seagate Momentus, pushing around 60MB/sec read/write versus an average of 2500MB/sec read/write from a Samsung 980 Pro NVMe, it's such a spanking it's not even funny, though even a SATA...

Re: Miscellaneous Umiak/misc. races question-and-answer thread
New here, hi. Is there an in-universe reason why the Historian Emissary acts so blatantly rude and untrustworthy (not only does this sabotage his effectiveness in arguing any particular point, it sabotages the reputation of Historians as it serves as their public face), or is that just following ge...

FTL could be something easy that we haven't figured out yet.

Re: TALON vs. ECHO (Computer Issues)
I'd love to get one of those enormous full tower cases from the 90s. Maybe in a shiny black. Think:

Fan noise frightens the apes though.

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
So maybe instead of "I'm watching you", Fireblade was gesturing "I saw you." He just misinterprets her RBF.

Re: TALON vs. ECHO (Computer Issues)
Yeah, now you've got the wacky Big-Little design with the 12th gen Intel procs. Windows is probably better at actually scheduling the 'efficiency cores' for use. Presumably will be a better gaming PC too, just in time for HW3.

Re: TALON vs. ECHO (Computer Issues)
Madman, sounds like you could just get a newer monitor (just making note of VGA) from this decade as well, though I figure DP + DVI should be fine, if a bit long in the tooth. Wish I could toss you one of my junk drawer sata -> usb3 docks, something like this https://www.microcenter.com/product/4324...

Re: TALON vs. ECHO (Computer Issues)
Can always pop on a Linux livecd and `rsync -rav` the files over to your new box if you want to handle it pretty forensically (esp if the problem is more software than hardware). Otherwise I'd just get a SATA dock or caddy and just dump the contents over en masse. What'd you get for your new compute...
