I don't know. I've been wondering how Nielsen calculates stuff in the digital age. I use to be an advocate of Nielsen ratings, but with more and more things digital, I think we need a new ratings system. But, I have no clue what it should be and how it would work :p

One thing is for sure, there's too many shows that get canned because of poor ratings. Pushing Daisies, Fringe, Dollhouse, Tera Nova, Dead Like Me, Heroes, etc.

That was a bit ho-hum compared to the last two episodes. It also didn't feel like it was part of a finale.

So they changed Bell's involvement, or lack thereof, when Oliva escaped from the other side. So how did Olivia escape?! Bah.

And Jones' death... What the heck? Fall on wires and you're electrecuted?!

Actually,

fall on wires and hit antenna base => electrocuted. On a side note, noticed how half of him got destroyed/pulverized - it seems there are still traces of the pre-machine-activation universe

And? Surely hitting wires and the antenna base, both of which had no damage and were are already connected and touching, wouldn't electrocute someone. On the off chance that it even could under the right conditions, not do it so easily as happened on the show. The death was so poorly portrayed for someone of such importance, nay, for anyone who was supposed to die by that point in the episode. It lacked any imaginative thought whatsoever.

Wasn't it estabilshed that David Robert Jones DNA is unstable due to all of the teleporting and crossing universes in earlier seasons, Hence his scared appearance and that would account for his desolving once electrocuted?

You're thinking of William Bell. Still, electrocution? From that little fall? Really!?

Deaths on Fringe don't really affect me anymore. They can always bring back characters from the other universe, and alternate universe, or some other anomaly :rofl:.

True :laugh: But I like her character more than Captain Lincoln Lee (who's death I didn't really care about) and the other Astrid :p

What about "Hello old friend". Pretty sure that was taken right from the new Star Trek movie, or maybe just coincidence?

That's been in a lot of movies. I mean Crossing the Streams is just well, you know.... from Ghostbusters. It can't be from anywhere else. lol.

wtf is that voice saying right at the end?

According to one of the YouTube comments, the voice says "It is impossible." backwards.

I was genuinely surprised to see that

William Bell was behind it all. I didn't think for once that he'd play the bad guy.

    • JetBrains' new AI-first 'IDE' JetBrains Air is now on Windows

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      JetBrains' new AI-first 'IDE' JetBrains Air is now on Windows by David Uzondu JetBrains has announced that JetBrains Air, its Agentic Development Environment (ADE) is now available for download on Windows x64 and ARM. You might not be familiar with JetBrains Air. It's this new desktop app that the company launched back in March 2026 to let developers hand off tasks to AI agents instead of writing every line manually. You can see it as more of an Agentic Development Environment (ADE) rather than a traditional Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The latter builds its features around a central text editor, while the former arranges everything around the AI agent itself. Here's how JetBrains describes it: Air was born from the ashes of Fleet, an experimental editor that the company quietly killed in December 2025 after realizing that competing directly with VS Code was a losing battle. The company repurposed Fleet's lightweight, modern architecture to build Air, transforming a basic code editor into a workspace for running multiple AI agents. When Air launched, it was only available for macOS. It wasn't until earlier this month that Linux users got a chance to play with the software. Now that Air is on Windows, you can do things like map out a complex feature in Plan mode and watch an AI write the implementation plan to a markdown file before writing any code. You can iterate on this plan, add references to specific classes or files, and choose whether to run the agent locally or inside an isolated Git worktree. Running agents in parallel means you can have Claude refactor a database schema in one branch while Codex writes tests in another, leaving you free to do other important things. You can even set up a pipeline where Claude writes the code, and Codex reviews it. At the moment, Air is free. If you have a JetBrains AI Pro or Ultimate subscription, you get full access to the built-in agents, though there's also the option to Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) to run APIs from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. If you're interested, here are the download links for both x64 and ARM64.

      Depending how you’re wiring it internally, but try to put it inside conduit, that way in the future you can more easily replace cables, compared to running inside studs alone At least cat6a too

    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      I'm using Windows 11 Pro 25H2 on "ancient" hardware, too: - Core i7 3770K - GTX 1050 2GB - 16GB DDR3 1333 MT/s It runs flawlessly, not a single issue. I also have it on other ancient setups, but I don't remember the exact specs right now (Intel 4th. generation).
