Came here to ask if it was worth watching as someone who considers Next Gen and DS9 (and Voyager to a lesser extent) to be peak Trek. I think you've answered my question!

I used to work at a games studio that would get these delivered fairly regularly, usually paired with a particular motherboard and presumably a custom BIOS.
I think we were technically supposed to return them but the manufacturers never enforced it, so once the chip was actually released to the public - and assuming the sample was stable enough for general use - the PC would rotate into normal stock and eventually get sold for cheap to staff or end up in the spare parts bin.
While it was cool at first to get pre-production chips before anyone else, it became pretty mundane and I'm not at all surprised to see them out in the wild decades later. Interesting piece of history though!
I tried so hard to make that combo work for me, but ended up back with the sticks. Maybe I need to try something other than Half-Life 2.
Conversely I bought a Steam Deck specifically because of the trackpads but I find I only ever use them on the rare occasion that I need to go to desktop mode. I love my Deck but I've discovered that could easily live without the trackpads if they weren't there.
My workplace ran off DL360s (the 1U variant of this) of various generations for 20 or 30 years. I remember getting the first G5 in and being really impressed by the way the components all slotted in so easily and pretty much everything was hot-swappable. And the no-nut rail system was a revalation.
They were great systems for their time but that power consumption is crazy by today's standards!
As for feedback, you have a very confusing sentence about 2.5" and 3.5" drives being the same size. Took me far too long to realise you meant capacity and not physical dimensions!
I waited years before I watched it, long after the hype had died down. I went in with no expectations and I quite enjoyed it.
It's just a day-in-the-life film where nothing really happens and there's no big revelation or pay-off at the end, but the journey had some memorable moments and was fun nonetheless.
This is RoboCop 2 right? Or did he play a psychotic kid in something else that I missed?
Sublime
Wait, do people actually say that as "is bin" rather than "eye ess bee en"?
Just a PSA for anybody reading the thread, though it doesn't really help with the question at hand... On the very slim chance that your workplace uses Bitwarden Enterprise it's worth knowing that every licensed user gets a free family plan that can be tied to an existing personal account, provided it's hosted in the same region.
We do use it but very few of our own users are even aware of the perk so I like to spread it around when I get the chance!

I tried a couple episodes of Lower Decks but I wasn't taken. Maybe I should just skip to S2.
