I think the headline is ambiguously worded. My interpretation is that, after they announced the OLED version, they also confirmed that Steam Deck sales to date amount to “multiple millions.” I highly doubt they’ve sold multiple millions since the announcement.

It’s definitely one of those “a broken clock is still right twice a day” situations. It’s a good product and I find it invaluable for PowerShell scripting. I have, however, been trying to dial in emacs for PowerShell.

Actually this looks like another channel entirely. I’ll have to add it to my list. The short I remember watching had a very TOS type plot where some kind of radiation or energy caused the crew to become obsessed with the object in their own way. The tactical officer wanted to shoot it, the science officer wanted to study it, etc. It was hokey but still pretty neat. The effects were low budget 90s TV movie quality but had a charm about them.

I stumbled into a whole YouTube channel full of fan shorts from various groups but I can’t remember the name anymore to find it again. Thought it might be starbase something or other but I can’t find it again.

That’s really my point as well. The modern updates of ships are because our expectations have definitely shifted. I feel like disparate design languages of the shows don’t necessarily have to detract from the shared universe. Though, don’t get me wrong, Star Trek is many things but one thing it isn’t, and has never purported to be, is a documentary. By that I mean that the set dressing, the costumes, our “presence” as the audience, everything about the way the shows are produced tells me we’re watching a dramatization of the “real” events. Contrast that with something like the 2000s era Battlestar Galactica which had a lot of elements in its filming that were designed to make it feel more like a documentary and we, the audience, were watching footage captured of “real” events.

I’m going to get crucified for this, but I really dig Discovery’s design language (both the show in general and the ship herself). In particular (I’m ready for those nails), I like their take on the Enterprise in season 2 (and subsequently SNW). In my mind it’s tied with late-TNG era stuff which is what I grew up watching. I have mad respect for the older designs, but I find that modernizing the classics isn’t diminishing my enjoyment even though I’m very acutely aware of the canon issues.

I’m not breaking up yet but I’m definitely gonna cheat a little while Reddit goes through their drama!
