One of the most significant weaknesses of macOS is persistent network file system connectivity and configuration with NFS and SMB. It shouldn't be, it's freaking UNIX. They make it intentionally difficult.

Jonathan Harris — aka Dr. Smith — wasn’t British at all. Born in the Bronx, Jewish, named Charasuchin. He ditched the Bronx accent, taught himself English by watching British B-movies, and reinvented himself completely. Of course he did.

There are very few true 8-port 10GbE desktop switches under $500. Netgear’s ~$500 option only has 4×10GbE (rest 2.5G). QNAP tops out at 6. I grabbed the Trendnet TEG-S7102: 8×10GbE RJ-45 + 2×SFP+ for under $400.

So this is dumb. The series takes place 900+ years after the TOS timeframe. Klingon culture is going to change, and we don't yet know what this character’s deal is. www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...
