In my opinion, what'll come of it is that Jesse will feel less useless and thus less likely to jeopardize the entire drug business (good for Gus) and he might slowly begin to part ways with Walt because I honestly can't see Walt liking the situation wherein he's not the only useful part of the duo (we could already see how arrogant and egocentric he is at the end of the last episode).

Hmm, that's true. Jesse partying for 2 episodes straight could very easily have jeopardized the business. Walt and Jesse have been going at it since season 1. My guess is he will end up in trouble and come to Walt for help, though of course Walt will have his conditions. Slowly Walt is losing a lot of his power.. the guards for Gus ignore his antics and put him in his place. Skyler is taking control of the Car Wash stuff, Jesse is gaining "rep" with Gus. Walt is slowly losing all power aside from being a good cook.

I can see him doing something big to bring himself back into power. With the ending of last episode.. I hope that if anything is figured out, the writers do it in true BB Style, (the so close yet so far ideology).. and not make an abrupt end to things.

Exactly. it was obviously staged by Gus as he was testing Jesse for something. even Mike said 'it played out how you expected more or less' when he was talking to Gus.

Plus, Gus said "I will of course reimburse you for the damage to your vehicles"

I disagree.

Providing for his family is Walt's primary motivation, hence the reason his reconciliation with Skyler, Walt Jnr., and Holly is examined further.

There's a little bit more to this show than cooking crystal meth and shooting people.

Well, that episode wasn't too bad. Not overly slow. Seemed pretty on par with episodes from previous seasons, the story is definitely starting to build. I'd say this was one of the better episodes this season (not that that is too hard to achieve)

Yeah, a good episode this week - a number of important developments.

Great work Hank!

I have to say, the cinematography in this show is absolutely terrific - I love the experimental camera angles...they break all the conventions, yet somehow everything comes together.

Yea for sure, the cameras on the gun, in the vacuum tube. But also in earlier episodes like on the shovel, and other weapons and such. They do a great job with the cameras.

I was actually kinda confused by the murder. Why was it exactly that they killed him? (in the flashback).

Also, the flashback would of been while Gus was still in Mexico. I can't remember what dates they said for him moving to mexico from chile, and then from mexico to the states. It would of been around the time he got his states work visa.

Because he was the chemist. No chemist no cooking. No competition.

The interesting part is where the guy sad we know who you are in chile. Almost like he is untouchable.

Cant wait for next weeks EP.

Not really.

From the podcast as well as from the flashback scenes, it is inferred that the two are more than just friends. This wasn't about killing a chemist, it was to a) show Gus who's the boss in Mexico, b) show him the lengths they're prepared to go to.

Good episode, really hope it gets the ball rolling into what I'm guessing will be the "meet" (meat) of the season. Was kinda hoping for more based on the opening scene, but all in all not to shabby.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.

      you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
