[01:20] IsambardPrince This is not sustainable for very long. [01:20] MinceR ah, yes, good old fiscal conservatism [01:25] IsambardPrince MinceR, I always hated Star Trek: Enterprise but in retrospect it's not nearly as bad as the newer ones. [01:26] IsambardPrince And looking back it's not that bad at all, really. [01:26] IsambardPrince I had wondered why they didn't salvage anything from that Klingon Bird of Prey in one of the earlier episodes. The one stuck in the gas giant. [01:26] IsambardPrince It was an opportunity to reverse engineer technology that was at least 100 years more advanced. [01:27] IsambardPrince Butt then I noticed that maybe they did. They might have taken schematics or something. In Season 4, the Klingons ambush them and are shocked that an Earth ship has torpedoes with antimatter warheads. [01:27] IsambardPrince Archer managed to disable their ship and they hadn't even set the torpedoes to the maximum yield. [01:29] IsambardPrince Up to that point they had been using "spatial torpedoes" which were very slow. Usually just got shot down or bounced off enemy shields. [01:29] IsambardPrince That seems like a huge advancement in only 3 years. [01:29] IsambardPrince I think they did steal some files off the Klingon ship.

[01:32] MinceR lol [01:33] IsambardPrince I saw a Microsoft employee get mad that CoPilot kept offering code that was even more broken than the bug they were dealing with before. [01:33] IsambardPrince It all played out on github. [01:33] MinceR strange, they usually love broken code [01:33] MinceR maybe that employee didn't get enough re-education [01:36] Sompi_ You can always remove the feature if you cannot fix it. [01:37] Sompi_ Most probably that feature was old anyway, so no-one used it anymore.
