- Comment on Would you recommend any of the Star Trek games? 3 months ago:
Was lucky enough to have a sit-down cabinet version of Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator (Sega, 1983) at a local arcade. Very comfortable with the controls built into the chair. Along with having set all the games set to free play, the operator had the volume cranked on this one so Nimoy’s voice would resonate inside!

Huh, I would have figured Wesley Crusher would feature in this. He was becoming pretty Time Lord-y by “Journey’s End”.
- Comment on While garage sale-ing recently, I found some old VHS tapes - I've now decided I want to start a personal archive and digitize these types of obscure tapes 5 months ago:
The spinny thing is the head drum. The divots are electromagnetic heads, usually four for video in a HiFi deck. Be careful when cleaning them as they are fragile. Avoid using any kind of material that may snag in their narrow gap. I like to use a strip of white paper wetted with isopropanol, holding it against the drum and turning it with the other hand. Repeat that till the paper comes away clean.

I thought the poster meant S3E08 “The Enemy”, but seems it’s S5E02 “Darmok”.
- Comment on Solving CAPTCHA for 'Bicycle' -- Include Rider? 7 months ago:
Thank you for the insight. Having little understanding of the purposes of CAPTCHA beyond what is implied by the acronym, I would be concerned if what seems implied in this comment thread were actually true. Clearly there’s a bit of tongue-in-cheek, but it seems reasonable to me as a layman that some implementations could produce data usable to train autonomous driving systems. I realize it’s possible there’s no simple answer to my original question, and wouldn’t be the first time I’ve overthought something.

If there’s a joke it’s lost on me, sorry. Really don’t know programming/bash that well either. Was kinda fun spending 10min decrypting that, though :)
