tether your chromecast to your phone

I’ve tried that with my laptop, and it’s either super slow, or irritatingly unreliable (at least in my experience). In some hotels, it doesn’t work at all. These turnkey hotel wifi systems might use a similar method that mobile networks use to detect if a device is tethered rather than directly connected, in order to…

I have brought a Chomecast with me on every trip I’ve taken in the last 5 years, and never once has it worked with any hotel wifi.

I’ve adored this show since the pilot, but this almost certainly isn’t Adult Swim pulling the rug out from under the creators, it likely shows how little faith Adult Swim had in their ability to deliver a next season, or any kind of series wrap-up content, on time and budget, in a way that was worth their investment.

This is literally just an existing Fractal Design case with a sticker on the front. I built a PC with using a case from this line over 5 years ago.

Descent takes place about 11 years before Lower Decks starts in 2380. That still makes the uniforms a bit of an issue.

The point, to me, is that he didn’t need to die in the first place. And if you’re going to kill him, fine (well, not fine, but I digress), but dying under a bridge to save a pre-industrial society that we never see is an ignoble end for one of the two most iconic characters in the franchise’s history

There weren’t TNG uniforms worn in DS9's final seasons, actually.

Outside of an admiral’s variant seen once in season 5 and a pair of poorly lit background actors in a single scene in season 6 (the only real example), after First Contact the TNG uniforms never appeared again on an active in-timeline character, and only…

I’m not so much bothered by this. Beyond came out in 2016 and was a great movie, if a limited celebration of the franchise (they did create 50 unique alien species designs to be seen in the film for the anniversary, though).

I liked that, too, but the nitpicker in me is getting a little irritated with the how much effort they’re putting into staying true to canon but constantly making little flubs like showing First Contact uniforms in a flashback discussing a recent event that happened in the 6th season finale of TNG.

I’m so confused by people who think Kirk’s death was at all bad. Like, Shatner was never going to star in another Trek movie, so killing him wasn’t a loss for the franchise, and the character is not a big action hero, so he didn’t need to die saving a billion trillion people in a fireball of glory on the bridge of the…

It appears at the beginning scenes of Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey as “Bill and Ted University” where Rufus teaches.

Thanks for clarfiying! I had thought they were never gendered in the dialogue, but I wasn’t certain.

I need to re-watch those movies before Friday!

This gives the impression that the ending of Bogus Journey is being completely ignored, but that’s not the case:

Seems like Brendan Gleeson is doing Alec Baldwin’s Donald Trump, but as a scary dude rather than as an utter fool.

But Apple’s claim that Epic is showboating does feel a little accurate.

This feels uncomfortably like Fisher exploiting the language of abuse victims to further his own career grudges. The problem isn’t that he’s refuses to detail or even hint at the abuses he (and others, apparently) suffered under Whedon, et al, because we know that victims are often guarded about their abuse for…

It’s another in a long line of fictions that re-contextualizes it’s own external or promotional material. It’s not even the first time Star Trek has done it:

They’ve seen it, obviously, but this is a love-letter to TNG, like how Picard was (somehow) more a love letter to Voyager than I expected. Honestly, that’s fine by me. Lower Decks is a wacky comedy, too, so I’m not going to worry about canon nitpicks.
