Definitely a good back story type of episode. I was surprised to not see the beginning prolog story end in death, but obviously from the end of the episode we know that it did. Even though there weren't any scary "jump in your seat" thrills this episode, I'm still pretty happy with how things are progressing.

Also loved this episode,

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

The maid actually explained it in this episode:

Apparently all man are horn dogs and only see what they want to see. So the wife sees the real appearance of the maid but men only see what they want to see and that's a smoking hot maid.

Been pleased with this series so far. First episode was kinda awkward as they just tried to cram so many character introductions into it that there wasn't much left in the way of story line. Second and third eps were both really good! Looking forward to next week's episode.

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:

I came to the same conclusion in regards to your theory.

Otherwise, how did that guy know to be at Ben's front door right when they walked out? And how did he know Ben's entire back story with her?

My biggest hope for this show is that they keep it to a short concise story that spans 1 or 2 seasons tops. I loved LOST to death, but still feel like it could have been a much better show if they would have cut the story down to 3 seasons instead of milking it for as long as they did.

Watching it now and the creators of the show just announced Direct TV is dropping FX on November 1st :angry:.

Now Direct tv is scrolling a message during the show that Fox/News Corp wants 40% more money for their cable shows and if they dont come up with a deal its over. Thats something the creators of the show didnt say and they made it looked like it was all Direct TVs fault (nice move Fox).

AHH im going to lose It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The League and Archer.

Really, really liked last nights episode, but man, I just keep having to come up with new theories as to what the hell is actually going on. :laugh: As someone already said above, I would say the show is definitely not perfect, but it is better than 95% of the shows that are out there right now. And I am just a sucker for anything horror related, so the fact there is an actual TV series that has horror influences and does not completely suck is just win right there. Psyched to hear a second season has already been approved, although I will say I think this is a series that will benefit from only doing a 2-3 season run then calling it quits. At least IMO.

Yeah, just when you figured out what's going on something happens that shatters that theory :pinch:

Totally agree that this show would benefit from only 2 or 3 seasons.

damn this is an awesome episode, im really starting to question if tate is real or not

the here piiggy piggy thing is wack

Were you not paying attention to the episode?

The forced ignorance of Vivian and Ben is starting to really get annoying especially after last weeks episode. Not sure how much longer they can keep me interested when the two main characters seem to witness these strange things but pretend like nothing significant is ever happening.

lol i posted that way before the revealed it in the episode. I didn't think they would reveal so much last night, but damn they did. The whole thing with Vivian and Ben, I think they know something is up hence the selling of the house, but don't know what to do about it. The here piggy piggy thing was weird also.

anyone think the brain that vivian ate was the girl from the house next door?

    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com AI companies often rely on readily available internet content to train their chatbots and provide users with instant answers. This method of AI training is fast and relatively inexpensive, but using a website’s content without permission or compensation is not something publishers like to see, and this is exactly why Microsoft and OpenAI are now being sued. As reported by Bloomberg, a group of publishers that collectively own nearly 400 newspapers has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft. The coalition argues that the two companies scraped their content to build AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Copilot without paying any compensation. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, argues that while AI products have generated billions of dollars in market value using publishers’ work, none of that value has been shared with the publishers. The plaintiffs are seeking statutory damages and injunctive relief for alleged copyright infringement and violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. “Defendants systematically and secretly crawled the Publishers’ websites—including content behind paywalls and other access restrictions—and copied the Publishers’ articles, stories, and other original works onto their own servers without authorization,” the complaint states. The publishers also described the AI boom as a “death knell for local journalism” if AI companies that scrape content for free are not held accountable. Former New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin and his law firm, Platkin LLP, are representing the publishers. “Our models empower innovation, are trained on publicly available data, and are grounded in fair use,” OpenAI spokesperson Drew Pusateri told Bloomberg. This is not the first lawsuit involving the unauthorized use of publishers’ content by AI firms, but it is one of the largest coalitions ever formed against the free use of content by AI chatbots. In 2024, OpenAI and Microsoft also faced a similar lawsuit from eight newspapers that claimed AI products were benefiting from their content without permission.
    • 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.
