Well, for sci-fi reality, we want REAL flying saucers please! 🙂 The Syfy Wire site is updated frequently with what you might say middle of the road content spiced up a little for a target audience of upper middle nerds. 😛
Yep, for some movies and remakes like that Halloween where you know exactly where things are going to be in 30 minutes, including the effects of the extra exertion on your part, if a quick snooze doesn’t appeal, time to switch channels!
Hmmm (bloopers notwithstanding), Demon of Paradise is not listed in the Cultural Impacts …, should a reference be inserted in there?
Oh yes, along with Hitchhikers Guide, Red Dwarf is the the best sci-fi laugh-in out there, definitely go to see the repeats. Canned laughter provides extra vibrancy in outer space, too. 🙂
Much of the mystery of Red Riding Hood Trilogy was lost after viewing Part Three first, being under the mistaken allusion the stories in the trilogy could be seen in any order. The obvious analogy is reading a book backwards chapter by chapter, the extra cognitive power required to sort out events from the beginning have the effect of cementing the plot into memory rather well. 🙂
Blue Lights is a procedural modelled to a large degree on The Bill, with a greater focus on crime gangs. Sharp and perky interchanges keep you glued on what’s coming around the corner for these young, brave heroes.
Enjoyed Drive, consisting of a very earthly palette of themes underpinning a space electro pop driven score, the cinematography imbued with a style reminiscent of period and rather stylish sci-fi shoots.
If you like Jennifer Lawrence, you’ll like Red Sparrow, amazingly the full movie is free at Daily Motion: – fun fact, when embedding it here, it starts playing!
The TSA red carpet scene is on TikTok only it seems, and the full screen function opens a new tab to the source video, detracting a little from the full red carpet experience of viewing the vid!

Alternately, to view it here, turn up the resolution (ctrl mousewheelup) to suit, here it is around 200% in maximised window. Good luck in removing the pesky icons/symbols in front of the video, no hotkeys available for the job, might be something on the phone though.If Omega Mart is the future of shopping, Vegas here we come:
Occasionally get themed jars through donations over here, haven’t come across anything quite like the Amazon set yet. And the deadly nightshade jar is first choice for the safe and secure storage of extremely valuable comestibles in deterring sneaky light fingered kitchen visitors. 🙂
Interesting collection of oddities, funny, no recollection of anyone resurrecting or rebranding Mithridate for pandemic sufferers. 😛
Over here we have bitumen bandits, tar comes at a premium, thus such temptations – along with dreams of driveway makeovers- ultimately end up in the tar pit. 🙁
Some of the southern states, particularly Louisiana and Alabama raise alligators for their meat and eggs, plying them with “vegan” fare consisting of soy bean based pellets or similar. If it is available your way, might be inspiration for some snappy recipes. 🙂
Yes, the mysterious dostips never had a feedback or announcement mechanism for status, so we’ll never know what happened on the day. 😛
Have you ever experienced browser burko withmsftconnecttest.com? Happened on w11 Chrome with new browser tabs opening in succession to that address. If it was NCSI, how do the browser pages help I wonder?
Ahk’s cert has expired, it might now be in the repair workshop as the site now returns a SQL ERROR, so the link to this interesting class for unit testing may fail. “Harness” is also included in testing jargon these days.
Edit: AHK back!
What with the release of the Fallout TV series and updates to the FO4, things have go a little wonky at Nexus, undergoing a substantial demand on their servers. Understandable, as some of those mods are gigabyte sized.There’s … still a few imps dancing round and round, as firing up the old W10 Ob machine got a blank screen, rinse and repeat, nothing, couldn’t hear any obvious signs of disk activity either. No sign of activity on the TV (primary monitor connected through HDMI.) The repair shop might have used a DVI connection for the monitor, however the dual monitor info was lost, from recent experience W11 handles monitor behaviour (from history?) a little differently.
Then remembered the connection of the previous replacement rig back here was with HDMI through to the old Samsung S24B350 monitor, because that (secondary) monitor has no DVI out, a minor inconvenience. So connected the GTX 650 out to the monitor through HDMI, nothing on the secondary (but primarily used monitor). Switched on the TV, and there it was, a Windows desktop! Reconnected the VGA cable to the secondary monitor, reconnected HDMI to the TV as before, switched display in Settings, pressed something on the monitor itself to re-affirm VGA, pulled the HDMI, and wow, it all came back as before! 🙂And – er – they may have go the repair info round the wrong way as the Ob machine had the SW issue and the Skyrim rig was a reseat. Possible, although unlikely, as the Skyrim rig is still not fixed, and the Ob PC still has the wake from Hibernate freeze. The repair guy also made a note that as these machines are beyond obsolescence, backup the data! Relics of an era indeed!
Yeah, reminiscent of an old Win 3.X bug where showing a popup or system menu did the same thing.
Quite a few commercial sites do that now, rather than set the spam in the settings, find and use the unsubscribe link in the spam. Wonder if that’s the same in Woocommerce and the rest?
Dostips have been down a couple of weeks at least, the comments at the end of this page are somewhat off-piste as they actually refer to other downed sites. 😛The Ob desktop is back from the repairer. He’s pretty good, and looks like he might have identified the issue with the drives configuration referenced by software using certain core libraries, like Oblivion.
Did ask him if I could have solved it with a recovery disk (DVD probably, the old BIOS/UEFI doesn’t handle USB sticks all that well), he said probably, at the expense of wiping the disks, so yeah.
The Skyrim desktop was a mobo check and reseat, funny that as I thought it was fine. (And so it was. if looking at a blank screen was the desired outcome. 😛 )Yerk, firmware upgrades are such that there is limited support for rollback, good luck if S76 can organize a quick fix. Can you get into Windows without issue?
You mean the Fix Threaded Replies Jump bug fix? Could work, feel free to try if you like. In the meantime, updated the above link to include this bbPress thread which has it as a core bug/feature. 🙂
Edit: Contemplate’s fix at that thread doesn’t work anymore. 🙁
Will retry tomorrow. 🙂Ah, sounds more like belladonna, many forms of colocasia (including antiquorum), alocasia and even unrelated Xanthosoma are staple in many parts of the world, all requiring boiling/steaming to remove the effects of the crystallized calcium oxalate. Neurotoxins are nuked at 80°C. 🙂
The sunflower is still alive, very bowed over now, the petals are long gone since, and the leaves are beginning to pale. Youth fleeting, age defeating. Would you recommend harvesting the flowerhead for the pot?Sounds like it’s a known issue. A factory reset helped one, but not another.
Someone suggested:Go into settings > Device care > Performance profile and set the profile to light.
Is that setting on yours, it’s not found here, unfortunately, just auto-optimization under Performance.
On the tablet here there is a Battery section in Settings where there is:Battery Protect (Limit Charge to 85%)
They explain it here, is there a reason why the limit can’t be 99% instead for the same effect?
Also in Batteries setting there is a Power saving switch, doesn’t promise to be much of an impact though. 🙁Do appreciate the work gone into the Anandtech and 3dMark sites, the functionality is no doubt a bit more clunky if you don’t sign up.
This is planned to be a winter PC, thus a slightly unhinged reliance on cool ambient temperatures at least as far as pre global warming conditions go. 😛
Have to agree as far as performance goes, here are topcpu’s UHD 770 comparison assessments, hd 7700, gtx 650, and rx 550. Interestingly, the 4gb rx 550 does not quite match the similarly priced 1gb hd 7770. One naturally assumes that as “things improve with time”, the rx would exceed the hd doubly or so, silly, silly. 😛
Good thing is the igc uses much less power than any gpu really, including the low powered 50W rx, a card purchased for low footprint and high performance, we wish.
Yeah, 4 16gb slots and only one stick – sounds like an idea to beef it up sometime. 🙂Going with pretty basic, the igc has potential for some newer games on a tower with an i7 and possibly faster memory as demonstrated here:
No-one mentioned overheating in the comments there, fortunately this is only an i5, the docs tabulate heat dissipation to make us all feel safe. 🙂
And, news flush, there will be no upgrading or modding the innards of this beast- other than of course, to – ahem – relieve potential overheating issues. 😛
Regarding Linux, the major drawback is just the one physical drive, so the challenge is to partition it correctly in W11.
As a matter of interest, comparing the graphics power of the UHD 770 and the RX550 in the “new PC” mentioned here here and back at MS Teams, there is much to be said in favour of the RX550, for which the “heavier” gameplays here will be reserved. Technical city is less enthusiastic.
Looking at a side by side comparison to the 2012 HD 7700 on the old Skyrim PC, believe it or not, the HD 7700 wins, mostly. Technical city prefers the UHD 770.
A similar diff to the 2012 GTX 650 on the Oblivion PC has it roughly the same, yet Technical city continues to lean toward the UHD 770.
Funny that, wonder if certain rival companies have a hand in those test results. 😛Yes, a magnificent system indeed for a bit of extra coin, the said extra coin in the pocket will be put to good use in other (hopefully) non-bill paying enterprises. 🙂
You mean no updates after the OneUI 6 update? None here either, no doubt there will be a few installed on the A8 after Android 14, might be even lucky enough to get Android 18 when it comes out.
Remember back in the early days of browsing you could hitEscto stop images loading, there’s mention of Ublock Origin at the end of this thread – would that help?
Ah, the A7 lite is fairly new, 2021, in fact, what was the model of the older phone – is that still being used?The Oblivion desktop is kaput after being powered on after some months in storage. The lights and fans turn on, the DVD door works if operated, no BIOS beep or light on keyboard, nothing on screen either.
The old Skyrim PC has turned out even worse, the last windows session on it gone into permanent frost. On reboot there was a service exception BSOD, so rebooted. The Windows logo would show for a few seconds, then came the spinning dots animation followed by blank screen with no activity in the device at all. The machine would then power off/reboot with the same behaviour. Did check the UEFI settings, nothing out of order there.
Later power on would get rapid beeps from the box, right now, there is no response to the power button at all. The cause of the error is PSU, memory, CPU, or the whole kit and caboodle, who knows?
Thus it’s very much like the aftershocks of the disintegrating relics causing one to be propelled into the invidious situation of acquiring new hardware. 🙁
Done! 😛After the above inclusion, this is a sure fire eyeroller. 😛
The purchase of an HP Elite SFF 600 G9 from here could be correctly construed as being diametrically opposed to any religion not espousing branded products.
The rationale for the switch goes like:- Cheap, free delivery, and good support.
- Low power consumption.
- Quiet operation.
- On board graphics, so don’t have to worry about OEM graphic drivers.
- Fine for older games like Oblivion and even Skyrim, not for things like CSGO 2 which will never be played in any case.
- Lightweight, compact, and a wee bit upgradeable. 😛
- Comes with obsolete DVD so convenient to play the TES5 and BG from the time-worn disks here./li>
- Ubuntu certified, so an option of Linux later.
Divining a good custom built rig these days is fraught with a myriad of true, quasi-true and totally false leads, and a good evaluation is hard to find. Similar hurdles in the research required to land such a beauty as the above thelio mira r3 (404 now – that was quick).
Grampsweb is the first port of call, possible on Synology, also possible in hosting though no plugin based WP integration as such. There does happen to be Tangled Web at Github from late ’21, certainly on the cards.
For now, trying out the Narrated Website, the first blue was selecting the tar.gz in the export options, the backslashes turned borko in the tarball, e.g.:pplb0dc824f7463f2fc525fbe14e7f0b.html
Consequently the lucky first upload of the tree showed the index beautifully, the rest of the items 404. The second was successful. 🙂
Definitely checking out the next codpiece, and oh yeah, Roddy Piper was a true artist! 😛
A first glimpse of the lead in Taxi Driver and Robert De Niro may not come to mind, from what we know of his later work. Scorcese wrung all the changes well from the shock ending revelations of the film, which, although very watchable, comes off as slightly “dated” – do hate that word. 😛
Our own satirical news show, The Weekly includes reviews on TV shows, the latest from Reality is House of Villians:
You may not have an ice cream cone in your back pocket at any time
What if it’s just the wafer cone without the filling? Funny about Joe Biden’s ice cream Gaza ceasefire speech, if it was performed in Washington with a lollipop instead, illegal!
Had a recent scare involving asbestos in mulch in schools, much of it is bonded though. When conditions become hot, dry and windy, there’s more of a risk. Use mulch all the time here, but it’s locally sourced, fortunately. 🙂
The banana car has done the rounds in news media again, earlier iterations are from at least 2008 such as the following beauty:
Even earlier (~2002) was the banana bus. 😛
Oh, given your phone is 10 years old, and Samsung having announced it now supports 7 upgrades for Galaxy devices, yours now qualifies for the update? Wow, some shock factor in there for the phone, and apart from the OS sucking the life out of the unit, everything looks fine?
Admittedly, on 1080p, the tablet here has more grunt, and, compared to the old one (which is not connected to internet), loses a lot more drain on a daily basis. The focus on performance here is turning down or off and reducing permissions for apps which are not used. As committed to using the Google Play store only, the Samsung Play Store is turned off for now, even though it keeps prompting.
The main gripe is not being able to turn off the sidebar in Google Search, (with “Discover” “Search” “Saved”) on the left. No issue with Chrome, but certainly with what Google has done to the Samsung browser. And, btw, there’s no mention of that sidebar in flags anymore, in fact the whole thing is a movable feast according to the comments in this video.
Doesn’t seem to be a search box available for searching Chrome Settings in Android either- same with you?Libra or Clara? 😛
Luckily the Mexican Petunias are susceptible to frost which keeps them away from here somewhat, there’s a handy Grow Me Instead for this locale, there’s sure to be similar your way.
Surprised about the elephants ears taking hold, again, they are frost tender, so don’t get them in the wild in these here parts.
Came across these in the brain teasers, corpses is an anagram of process, resonate is an anagram of senator, and, first up from this site, dirty room is an anagram of dormitory! Some good ones in there! 🙂 -
