  • When I had to record the opening [“Space, the final frontier…”] monologue — imagine the pressure. It is the single most famous piece of dialogue in the history of television, and I was being asked to record it. We were working on it, and I said, “Guys, can we take a moment to acknowledge that we’re all gonna remember this moment for the rest of our lives?” And then I realized William Shatner was [in space] at that exact moment. You can’t make that up. Later, I told [Shatner] the story, and he said, “I don’t think I ever got it right.” He meant the monologue! He was never sure what it was — was it a monologue, was it a captain’s log? And that was an incredible lesson: You have to keep searching. It’s never done.

    How do you get this lesson from that conversation?

    Edit: i like Anson’s Captain Pike portrayal. I’m rewatching and enjoying SNW a lot.

    The only Star Trek show that gets worse verytime i rewatch an episode is Disco. It always discourages an eventual complete rewatch.




  • Your case showed that the permission system is flawed, since it allowed camera access without having asked for your permission.

    Afaik the older the operating system, you’ll have more slip troughs.

    Ironically Google owns both, the Play Store and Android.

    Besides making the rules for app development, it has to make sure the permission system doesn’t let malicious developers make a party on your phone, running their own operating system.

    It’s like the team app developing should know that team os security is doing and vice versa.

    They are catching up, but It’s astonishing how well they have been failing at this task.
