One of the weirdest but yet most intriguing shows if have seen on tv to date.

I wonder what the next episode will be like.

Agreed. I actually REALLY liked this first episode, but this series can be brilliant, or really bad. Definitely has the potential to be both IMO. But I truly enjoyed the first episode. Was much more warped than I thought it would be.

I got it on the DVR. Going to watch it tonight!

Is it suppose to be a drama or something? The impression I got from the commercials (and the title) was that it would be a short-story type show like Tales from the Crypt, Outer Limits, and Twilight Zone.

Looks like it is a drama actually. I was kind of hoping for the serial treatment as well (I believe that is what those kind of shows are called, one episode shows) but looks as if it is a continuous drama, hence why I said it has the potential to get really bad. :laugh:

Twilight Zone is literally my favorite TV show of all time. It boggles my mind a good similar show has not been done yet. Honestly though, that speaks to the brilliance of it IMO, it truly was a one of a kind show.

yeah I remember the Outer Limits being something similar to Twilight Zone as well and that was really cool!

What a shame :(. I'll still check it out though. There hasn't been a good "serial" show in...like...decades now.

I've watched a lot of Outer Limits and Tales from the Crypt. I've only seen the most "highly rated" Twilight Zone episodes and they were all really good.

Honestly I am biased, I am not exaggerating when I say it is my favorite show of all time, but seriously if you ever can, watch every single episode. I honestly only think about 10 are not that good, and even the bad ones are good IMO.

Truly though the reason I loved the show was it always had a deep message about humanity. There was almost always a "lesson" being told as well. It really was made for the benefit of trying to make man a better species. It had a very specific purpose. And somehow it was also very entertaining. It truly was genius as far as I am concerned.

I have not missed a New Years Marathon in I do not know how many years now. In fact, I STILL have a few episodes from the 4th of July Marathon on my DVR. Saved them just because they are my all time classic favorites.

I recently started collecting the figures. So far I have these 4...

They really are great figures. The clothing, etc., is all real cloth, etc. My only regret is not buying two of each so I could open one and display them at work like a true geek. :rofl:

Yep, I really liked the Outer Limits as well.

They really pushed the envelope with their pilot, that's for sure!

Though it feels more like a mini-series.

Should be interesting to see how they keep unraveling this one out...

They truly did. Cable TV is definitely a lot more risque than it used to be, that is for sure. I was pretty surprised at all of the

sex-masturbating scenes.

They were pretty much the most R-Rated stuff I have ever seen on cable TV.

I really think it has some serious potential. Definitely. Next week is a crucial episode IMO. It is going to dictate the flow of the rest of the series. Really looking forward to it.

I just can't get into it. There were a couple of good scenes that left me

going WTF? (like the neighbor telling the maid "Don't make me kill

you again" and the her relationship to the husband- the stove scene),

but the show is moving too slow to keep me at this point. I'll give it

another episode, maybe two. But it better do something quick.

Pretty much a great second episode as well. I think it put to rest my worries of the show taking a cheesy turn. Really love the openings of each episode so far as well.

Just got done watching the second episode and I am pleasantly surprised. Not as thrilling as the first episode but still thrilling nonetheless. The pessimistic part of me says they can't keep the suspense and drama going a full season, but I hope I continue to be wrong each week. :D

holy crap, at the ending. im starting wonder now which characters are real and which are not like that dude with the messed up face, and whats the deal with the maid changing ages

Yep same here, hard to figure out who is real and who is not, but I think that is part of what makes the show so good, at least for now.

I do have a theory about the man with the face though.

I think he may actually be Ben's alter ego. All in his head. Hence the "two faces," representing the two distinct personalities.

I could be totally off there, just a theory. :laugh:

    • Rufus alternative Ventoy now supports Windows 11's mandatory update, fixes major boot bug

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Rufus alternative Ventoy now supports Windows 11's mandatory update, fixes major boot bug by Sayan Sen While Microsoft has its own official Media Creation Tool used for making bootable USB media, there are some popular third-party utilities as well which offer additional options like bypassing system requirements, Microsoft Account creation, and more. One of these is Ventoy, and the software has received its latest update today. In fact, the app actually got a slew of updates over the last couple of days, three version releases in total, to be specific. The first release, version 1.1.13, was pulled as there was some unspecified error in the update, and as such, the corrected version 1.1.14 was pushed out. Following that on very short notice, 1.1.15 was published as well. For those unfamiliar, Ventoy is an open-source utility that lets users create a bootable USB drive once and then simply copy ISO, WIM, IMG, VHD, or EFI files onto it without repeatedly formatting the drive. It supports both legacy BIOS and UEFI boot modes, Secure Boot, and a wide range of operating systems, making it one of the most versatile tools in the category. The biggest change in version 1.1.14 is an updated Secure Boot shim file aimed at resolving the UEFI CA 2023 issue, which is basically a compatibility problem that has affected Secure Boot environments on some systems. If you recall, we reported about severe boot issues on HP devices following the release of updated Secure Boot 2023 keys. For anyone who may not be aware, back in early 2024, Microsoft announced that it was updating Secure Boot keys as they were going to become 15 years old in 2026, which is also when they are set to expire. As such, the new 2023 certificates have been rolling out with the newest Windows 11 updates. Updated boot manager and Secure Boot certificates are crucial for protection against malware like bootkits. These are mandatory updates. Alongside that, the VentoyPlugson graphical plugin configurator was updated in sync with the release. The update also introduces a new VTOY_SECURE_BOOT_POLICY option within the Global Control plugin, giving users more flexibility in managing Secure Boot behavior. Ventoy has also received a fix for a startup issue when Secure Boot was disabled. Microsoft does officially allow users to boot systems without Secure Boot as long as the PC is Secure Boot capable. The full changelog is given below: Update secure boot shim file to solve the UEFI CA 2023 issue. The new release use a new CA, so you need to enroll the new key for the first boot time. VentoyPlugson update synchronously. Global control plugin add a VTOY_SECURE_BOOT_POLICY option. Fix the boot issue when Secure Boot is disabled in the UEFI firmware. You can download the latest version of the app here on Ventoy's official GitHub repo or from Neowin software stories.

      Windows 11 is fine, no issues on any of the machines I've run it on since release. The stricter security requirements are a good thing, sometimes the baseline needs to change and people will winge, but it is what it is. Happened with the move from 9x to NT - broke compatability Happened with XP SP2 when security started to become a serious consideration Certainly happend with Vista that brought in UAC, the concept of not running as admin (something that has been the norm in Linux/Unix from pretty much the start) and a completely new driver stack. Windows 11 will probably get looked back at as the point where even consumer and SMB IT was dragged kicking and screaming into a somewhat secure by default configuration.

      Bluestacks has been emulating Android on Windows for fifteen years. It's janky and riddled with ads though, so WSA looked like it was going to be a huge improvement over the emulator experience. Too bad Microsoft dropped the ball on that.

      The world is larger then your small viewpoint. Plenty of scientists care about this, especially those involved in space.
