You know, I was actually excited to see this movie and the next one...until I finished the third book earlier this month. What a terrible, depressing, anti-climactic ending for a series that was pretty good up until the last couple of chapters. I haven't been that disappointed since witnessing the garbage that was Mass Effect 3's ending.

 

At this point I'm only interested in seeing the movie because I'll get to see more Jennifer Lawrence.

While I always root for the heroes all throughout the series, I'm fine with the depressing endings. Kind of reflects how screwed the world is on that fictional time.

Jennifer Lawrence is something we can agree on, though. :p

Yeah, these movies are pretty bad. A bunch of 20-25 year olds that are supposed to be 15? And Jennifer Lawrence is beautiful, but I have to agree with past critics, she doesn't fit the role at all as she's far from looking like a starved child. The poor casting of the movies clashes far too much with the story. Was there ever a reasoning given for why the casting is so far off from the reality of the book?

 

The first book was pretty good. The second book was awful. I didn't bother with the third because I heard it was even worse.

1st book is ok, 2nd book is slow at the beginning, then it's ok, third book is terrible, because it doesn't follows the logic of its own history just in order to bring sadness to the reader.

I don't understand the popularity of this, the first movie was utter crap. The book was much better, I presume (?)

 

I thought the books were decent. Certainly much better than the movies (so far anyway). The movie seemed design to attract 13 year old viewers.

 

The ideas behind the books is more intriguing than the writing. It reminds me of the early Foundation books by Isaac Asimov, where the ideas were fantastic but the writing was mediocre.

      The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account

      "it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account" You already have a Microsoft account if you are using Windows 11, because you can't set it up without one.
