Yet another genuinely good film that increasingly clueless “critics” dismiss because they need something that they’re not personally married to to be their clicks pariah.

Oh god, throw it back! Throw it back!

*manufactured flashbacks of spending hours trying to figure out the reflection puzzle in the dark side cave*

The last few new strips have been rather simplistic and straightforward. I think Cecilia & Fei are getting the hint.

I don’t think so. When iOS detects the device is plugged into the wall, it dials every background process up to 100%, it puts all the radios on full power, and it starts doing demanding tasks like backups and updates.

The hell is that thing?

It bases the throttling on battery age and cell health. But I wonder if the original shutdown issue that this software was written to prevent is still an issue with an external battery attached. If it is, then it wouldn’t matter how much available power you have, it would only matter how healthy the internal battery…

That’s actually a very good question: Would Apple’s battery case tell the performance-adjusting software to lay off because you’ve plugged a second (and most likely newer) battery into your iPhone?

Oh, that security guard is so fired. :)

When I took my 6S in to get its battery replaced during the recall, it was about half an hour.

The limitations of Lithium-polymer technology simply makes that impossible. The average lifespan of any battery from any company (assuming they are built to standard and don’t randomly combust while idle) is going to be two to three years until there’s a major scientific breakthrough. People who use their devices hard…

One gets chills when Luke’s theme and Rey’s theme intertwine with each other. It’s musical perfection.

His organs belong to Disney, it’s in his contract.

The cold open was like a dreamy amalgamation of the actual Space Fleet TV show from the 60s and Daly & his crew of captive employees acting out one of the episodes. Everything after that was his actual modded universe, and the JJ Abrams graphics pack at the end was Infinity proper.

Star Trek’s an easy punching bag.

Leave it to an episode of fucking BLACK MIRROR to be a more watchable and optimistic space drama than Discovery.

Just let them watch with you, they’ll appreciate the break.

“Wait a minute, Doc! Are you telling me you built a TIME MACHINE... out of an N700 Shinkansen?”

Well that sounds far less inspiring.
