You can set up the unifi network app on anything but not the DVR system. Your cheapest option is a Cloud Key.

It takes an sd card or a 2.5 inch SATA drive.

I'd love to see them push for Mastadon. They can serve as an entry point for a lot of people because for the layperson, the fediverse is an odd place that's kind of hard to understand.

If they can just be the, "hey join Firefox.social and you're in the fediverse. Here's our Fedifox app for your phone, bing bang boom." I think it could go a long way to growing the total userbase.

It's even funnier when you hear the Sisko's initial description of the defiant.

It's a warship, nothing more, nothing less.

And also

No families, no science labs, no luxuries of any kind...

Meanwhile it's almost as big as the OG Enterprise which did in fact have a regulation size bowling alley inside.

So all that space, basically just for engines and guns on the Defiant.

I love the poster. It reminds me of the meme of "the girl you like, her boyfriend, her dad, etc,"

It will be interesting to see what sort of branding changes come from this. Will the WD Red blue and black names remain for the consumer parts? Will they change back to SanDisk? Will they go to something completely new like Toshiba did with Kioxia? Will their portable SSDs still break immediately after they get halfway full? Only time will tell.

The game as-shipped clearly has some technical issues, but it has at least been upfront about them and what it's doing to improve the situation: given its long-term support for Cities: Skylines, which released in 2015, you'd expect it will eventually get to the root of this.

Or, hear me out cause this is a wild idea. Finish a game before you ship it?

So Ascended is a remake of the official release but still "Early Access" and you can't upgrade from the edition you already have, and they won't be cross compatible for multiplayer. And it runs like warmed-over ass. Also ARK 2 is supposed to be out next year?

Sounds good to me!

But are the updates still going to be 250gb each? Because if not, can this truly be called ARK?

I was listening to the Security Now podcast a couple of months ago and Steve Gibson spent a fair amount of time talking about the challenges arising from trying to communicate with a spacecraft from that far away. Random but fips can happen from all the crazy space radiation along the way or it can just be written to memory incorrectly because of said space radiation and you're not going to replace the hard drive on a 1977 space computer that far away from Earth.

Last time they had an issue with data corruption the communication antenna ended up pointed the wrong way and they had to "shout" the command and hope that the probe would "hear" it so that they could get the antenna pointed back the right direction.

Hard to imagine that those 2 have been out exploring space for 46 years.

Mmmmm Content®. I sure do love Brand™. My favorite thing about Property© is all the Merchandise™ I can buy related to it.

Seriously, I loved Gargoyles as a kid. I loved the animation style and I loved the darker subject matter that I as a kid got to experience. As an adult, I have no use for another CGI filled paint-by-numbers show with milquetoast stories and hours of filler. And I sure as heck have no desire to give Disney any more money to support it.

Sorry for the grumpy pessimism.

The author is speculating that maybe it's a rehash of a 6000 series card. I'd be surprised to see that but if it is a 480/580 situation the price had better be great. Like $329/$359 great.
