Lets just say that the theme song is so bad, that I was burning through every Star Trek show my first time watching. Next Gen-Boom, TOS-POW, Voyager-Ehh OK!, Deep Space Nine-WOAH. Then when I got to Enterprise I had such a visceral reaction to the theme song on the first episode that I never continued the show. Its a very stupid reason I know, but its my reason, and I am going to need a much more compelling reason ever to return.

We need a "Star Wars Despecialized Editon" of Enterprise where the only thing they change is the theme song.

Edit: Alright everyone you talked me into it, my local library has the Enterprise DVDs so I'll give them a go. And I'll even listen to the theme song. ๐Ÿ––

Haha that's kind of been my cadence too. I had to take a break after the episode where Kai WInn became the pope and the president at the same time. Shes just too much sometimes.

Just so we can sync up, I am on the episode where Gul Dukat and Kira go on an expedition to find the lost prisoner ship. Haha.

I swear to Kahless you are watching DS9 at the exact same pace as I am. Every time I see a watch an episode I see a meme from you the next day from it. It's crazy!

I wouldn't mind letting James Wan have a crack at a Star Trek film though. He made decent work of Aquaman and Malignant is basically already a Star Trek TNG type of plot.

The stupid thing is that they could change nothing about the laptop including the price and add almost nothing to the BOM cost to add 8gb more of RAM, still make a staggering profit and avoid this criticism altogether.

Just make the base model have 16gb ram. They could probably mark it up $150 too and nobody would bat an eye. It's already too expensive, just don't sell a stupid option.

It's like a base model Cadillac only having 3 seats. Yeah maybe a lot of people can get by with it but it's a Cadillac! Why is something inferior like that even an option?

Good thing broadband providers have such a stellar track record of nothing but honorable and consumer-benefiting behavior. I see no reason that we can't just trust that they have our best interests at heart.

This is pure propaganda. I happen to know that this man helped out the Nazis while on a cordrazine bender!

Oh ok that makes sense.

Cool. Make sure not to get it printed in PLA. Even the heat from my Raspberry Pi Model 4 managed to warp the PLA case I made for it.

The power requirements of AM5 are a lot higher than AM4 but thats usually just a problem on the higher end chips. And compared to Intel's high end they look downright eco-friendly. 5800xt is a beast but looking down the road AM5 is the way to go. The 7600x is a solid CPU and if you get a decent motherboard then you will at the very least get the next generation AMD CPU upgrade path and hopefully the one after that too.

Main thing to look for in a motherboard I think is features, pcie layout, and then vrm quality.

On my current motherboard I was having issues with sata drives not being detected and thought I may have fried something but it turned out that some of the SATA ports were disabled if you used both M.2 slots. I also have to fiddle with the bios to get Linux to boot rather than Windows (I dual boot on separate drives). By default it always boots to Windows after a hard reset.

Cable Mod has several different adapters that would redirect the cable up rather than down that might work for you if you weren't wanting a new case anyway.
