Is the premise here that electricity stops working? I'm not really clear why that wouldn't just mean technology would go back to the 19th century , where mechanical solutions/fuel powered were used over electrical ones. Why are people using swords instead of guns, and why can't they use gas lamps? Why can't they use older diesel cars that don't require electricity?

Kind of need to have electricity to run the refineries and pumps to get that diesel. Also there were some folks that I saw that had muskets.

Hmm.. current rigs, but oil rigs used to be run using steam power. Also, they used to refine motor fuel through the distillation of coal.

I wonder if that's a secret that should even been a secret in the first place?

My theory is that they don't want people to have electricity and delibrately took the electicity away.

Huh??? Obviously there is a greater mystery here then that, you can't just take the energy out of a battery or keep a engine from working without an emp or in this case something more mysterious.

Seems funny to me too that all the sudden without electricity they went to horses and 19th century lifestyle.

But this is JJ Abrams we are talking about here, he must thought of something brilliant we not getting.

All of a sudden? It was 15 years if you actually watched the epi you would have known that.

I didn't hate the show, but I wasn't drawn to it at all. At least there's enough unexplained stuff to keep it interesting while they figure out what it's all about, but so far it's just a bunch of pretty scenery and other stuff you expect out of a video game.

I'll keep watching for a few more eps before deciding, but I suspect it won't keep my interest.

      The Online part hasn't even been announced and probably won't be included on day one. This is a massive singleplayer game.

      While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.

      Lol are you mad because I'm not using AI? I'd rather pay people than lose a bunch of potential customers and get humilated because I used AI. A lot of people won't purchase a game if it used AI during development.
    • LibreWolf 152.0-1

      By Copernic · Posted

      LibreWolf 152.0-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 152.0-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 152.0 Release Notes Notable changes: The AppImages are now built on Codeberg along with the other releases We have decided to wait a bit longer to enable the settings redesign, due to use being aware of multiple upstream issues Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
