I just want someone to explain the TNG meme to me and why several people instantly understood it
I am practically a meme PhD and this is vexxing me
well
it looks like someone made a star trek game or something
but everyone came out looking wonky
so KP was either using pre-existing memes in relation to said game, or his own imagination, made a post with the images and slightly off character names, much in the same way you might see rip-off action figures in other countries with names like HULKMAN or something
and i, knowing enough about star trek but never having watched it or been much of a fan, was able to sink into the RP'ing knowing full well that certain chatters would possibly be upset about the distortion of their beloved star trek characters
Okay now someone tell me which of these zillion password managers to use
Preferably one that is free and has all the features of the paid ones
The only totally free one is KeePass, which requires you to manage the cloud side of it if wanted. This is the kind of thing you should probably pay for considering they have all your passwords.
Lastpass is $1/mo. I don't know what 1Password costs these days, but they don't charge you again until the next major version.
1 password is apparently on a subscription model now a days.
Keepass sounds nice unless my database gets lost due to a failing drive or something
A dollar a month or so sounds pretty reasonable though.
The idea with KeePass is that you can backup the database to <cloud provider of your choice> if you want, but then you run into all the same potential issues as 1Password/Lastpass/etc but with having to deal with multiple points of support. I almost did KeePass, but decided I didn't want to put in the effort and chose LastPass. I know some people here like 1Password better.
Green Brown: Feet Go Down
Green Yellow: Feet go up
Green Red: Head goes up
Green Black: Head goes down
There's a head up/down button
a feet up/down button
and a both at the same time up/down button
Ok this is very good. I only need one more piece of info that you probably cannot give now but you can later. Just @ me.
Get a voltmeter and connect the black lead to the green wire and the red lead to any other color. You can do it just with your fingers pressing them together. What voltage does it read? Is it positive or negative? Opto-isolaters require that the current flow in only one direction so this will determine which wire goes in which terminal.
It would be normal for green to be ground and all the other wires to be some voltage between 3 and 24 (in which case the number is positive) but it could be exactly the opposite (the number would be negative).
I'll get a voltorb on the way home I will just walk through the high grass near the power plant
Fuck you if you think just because I know computers to a level equivalent to being a surgeon I'm going to deal with a useless flab of whale shit bitching at me over my shoulder like
"WHY ISN'T IT FIXED YET I THOUGHT YOU WERE MR. COMPUTER"
that is fucking annoying
your (???)cousin did that when your POS went down at the golf course and I was all up my shit like "I dunno, I wasn't expecting to fix your POS systems today".
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

@Kid Presentable I'm sorry I was mean, your OP confused me with all its fancy images and polls and I thought there were videos but they were just pictures, it was all very confusing and I was overwhelmed and lashed out against the source of my confusion.

Oh, you know how to install a hard drive? Can you make my windows 98 computer run the newest photoshop? WHY NOT I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOOD WITH THIS STUFF
I had a guy ask me if I could help make him a website since I had my own terrible website. I said I could, warily, and he launched into how he wanted to make a facebook that was better than facebook because it also had all these other features and could I help him with that?

Keepass is free and absolutely fine if you don't mind keeping your database in the cloud yourself and just keeping it updated when you need to. I've been using it for years now.
I haven't used 1password, but I do know that LastPass is free, cross-platform, and AES-256 end-to-end encrypted. Even if they were hacked only an encrypted jumble would be leaked, and it would take the fastest supercomputers billions of years to brute-force said encrypted jumble.
Lastpass is only free if you don't change device class, which isn't super useful unless you don't use a smartphone.
it's also only like $45/yr
Lastpass is $12/year, 1Password is $36/year now apparently. But yeah, well worth the money either way, IMO.

my favorite thing about the meme is that I and some others were able to instantly understand what KP was doing and slip easily into it
Thank you to everyone who attempted to partake in my Play-By-Post Star Trek role-playing experience, I had a lot of fun running the game for you all, I hope you'll meet back here next week to continue our adventure.

No this was my Mom and I was stopping by to double check something cause I'm nice.
instead I get harangued and told that if I break anything it's my fault.
Goddammit I'm furious at the moment. This isn't just fucking insulting to my own skills, that I built up over -years- of self taught shit but shit that I've proven time and again I'm fucking knowledgeable about AND KNOW WHAT I'M FUCKING TALKING ABOUT.
Like my Boss/Cousin knows that when I get a certain look that he should just back off. He's never regretted it yet.
Mom on the other hand assumes she fucking knows everything because she's called customer support like ten thousand times and jesus christ I cannot deal with this.

i haven't had any problems with last pass. it can be a little wonky on certain sites, but it's a hell of a lot better than my old system of using the same password for everything
oh i see, i guess i bought a license instead of a subscription which is different somehow hmm
*old person*
for 1password?
if you have a license you can use 1password on whatever devices you want, but you have to host the repository yourself (something like dropbox or google drive to store the actual repository files)

I stumbled upon pictures of that kind of bad looking old Star Trek game and applied the general "dumb incorrect names" meme to it.

It's a good OP, I'm just bad and also tired.

Wow. I had a similar feeling like that yesterday.
This is important information to consider:
George, hurry back to the Tri Litho wrap coar. I'll send Ensign Redshirt in after Information Boy.
