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.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

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

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.
