Personally I enjoy the battle in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country more than the final showdown in Nemesis.

Hard disagree. Generations is not the strongest TNG movie, but it definitely feels more like Trek than Nemesis. Nemesis is the worst of the TNG movies and full of plot holes. Every time I watch Nemesis I feel like the thin veneer of a plot goes out the window when Shinzon decides to drop the ruse and it becomes an excuse for a big space battle.
Turns out one of the video-editing programs I use (VideoRedo) has shut down anyway (I think the owner passed away) and so I'll need to look for an alternative anyway - I don't think I can activate it on new machines anymore.
Because I haven't yet updated from Windows 10 to 11 and had been putting it off. In the past week, though, I have seen a number of news articles highlighting issues I am going to have with Windows 11 and this particular article, indicating that they have been effectively leaving systems vulnerable simply because they have applications they don't like installed is just not good enough. I'd understand it if they were saying "we can't guarantee your OS stability with these apps" or "we can't guarantee these apps will work anymore" if they were removing older API support, but this is ridiculous.
Good to know. I don't play many games, but do have some older ones from GoG that would be nice to keep.
Thanks, will do!
I was already dubious about upgrading from 10 to 11 and this is final straw. I will have to look at Linux options and see if my Windows-only programs will run effectively under WINE.
My understanding is that we actually don't have much of a warning (under an hour), since a CME has to reach the satellite at the Lagrange point between Earth and the Sun for us to know it's about to hit Earth. According to the article below, this includes power companies, but I remain skeptical that there's enough organisation in place to shut down the North American, European or Asian grids in 15 minutes.
In general, people are appallingly bad at weighing up long-term vs short-term stuff, both in terms of risks and benefits. It's even worse when, as you say, there's no definite deadline or it doesn't directly affect those who can do something about it.
I agree. There were articles and documentaries about 20 years ago that I remember featuring these sort of events. The continent affected would take 20-30 years to rebuild its electricity grid.
Yeah, I cracked up when I saw that one too! Chuckled at O'Brien as well.
I must be in the minority... I don't mind "Move Along Home". Not my favourite, of course, but an enjoyable (if somewhat absurd) way to pass the time. Plus it proves Quark has a conscience.
