I gotta say I found myself wandering during the latest episode, think I may be done (I may return to marathon during the summer)

I thought the last episode was the best. I did like the final scene, lol.

There's just something not clicking. Seems like the script and cast is too simple for the world they would have you believe.

Syfy Renews Defiance for Season 2

This news should fill Defiance fans with much deto: Syfy has renewed the series for Season 2.

Production on the new cycle will begin August in Toronto, with an eye on a 2014 premiere.

?Bringing the rich world of Defiance to life has been in incredible team effort. We couldn?t ask for better partners than [showrunner] Kevin Murphy, his amazing cast and crew, and Trion Worlds,? Syfy boss Mark Stern said in a statement. ?We can?t wait to see where they take us in the second season.?

With all the money invested in the project,it only makes sense to make a second season.....

I was sceptical at first, but there's a lot to dive into story wise, and after the first 5 episodes I'm kinda intreged where all this is going. But I would like to see more backstory, as that will ground the story for future episodes.

I gave up after episode 4.

The visuals were pretty good, but thats about it. I just didn't find it engaging at all, which is a shame because it could be awesome, but it's not :rolleyes:

No potential to be awesome IMO, but it has become much more watchable over the past several weeks.

Hmm,

I never expected Mayor Nikki to get killed this early

. Now I can't see the direction that the plot is going to. Also, does Alac's mother just pretending to be the 'snake' she was on the early episodes because her character now portrays her as a loving, caring mother and an "abused" wife.

I think her "affair" with Kenya has mellowed her out quite a bit for the time being.

    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By Nas · Posted

      Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
