Off topic but what does 9/8c mean with regards to time on US tv, i've worked out it's on at 9pm, but whats the /8c all about?

The continental US has 4 time zones.  The two important ones being Eastern and Central, so that's how all the times are advertised since those are televised together.  We also have Mountain time (not many people there) and West coast time.  West coast gets its own starting time since it's 3 hours behind so it's not used for any advertised national times.

8 Central.  Time-zone thing.

On Topic:

I missed the first like 30 seconds of the show (was watching big brother), was confused as fk at the first scene.  I was worried I missed something crazy. I started watching at the part where he gets out of the car and goes through the trunk looking for tools.

I saw the opening credits and breathed a sigh of relief when it went back to carry on where the story left off.

 

Definitely looks to be an amazing second half.

It's the same in Canada.  Shows get advertised with Eastern and Central timing.

Sorry I assume anyone reading or posting in this topic has been keeping up on the episodes.

I for one stay out until I watch the episode of the week. This pertains to any tv show thread

Bravo! Really hate it when people that complain about you discussing an aired episode and have the audacity to have a go at you for not using spoiler tags if they have a total lack of common sense and decide to enter a thread about a tv show where they haven't watched the latest episode... Hang on guys i've not seen this episode, don't talk about it until i've seen it, because I am the most important person in the word.

Go at him? I said please.... it wasn't even for me, it was for everyone else.

 

Just because you don't visit this thread before watching the episode doesn't mean everyone else does or should. Don't be so ironically inconsiderate and outright ignorant.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
