Err, what?

March 29th, 2013 - The Host. Is that the Korean film that has been out for a couple of years now?

September 20th, 2013 - Star Wars Episode II - Attack of the Clones. Ok, that one has definitely been around for a while.

What is this list?

EDIT: Riddick is another one that has been out for a while...I don't understand this list at all...

I'm not sure about the first one, but the Star Wars one is a 3D re-release, like they did with Episode I.

EDIT: Riddick is the third installment in that series, to cap off the trilogy.

Oh god, count me out of this list then. 3D is quickly becoming a problem for my movie-going habits. I didn't see the Hobbit with friends the other day because of the silly gimmick. :(

I feel ya on that one. The only 3D movie I have ever seen in theaters was Episode I, and the only scene I can recall even being remotely "3D" was the pod races. (This was also a very bad introduction to the 3D theater experience, as I probably won't ever waste my money again, as poor of a job as that one was.) Other than that, it was clearly a simple cash grab by Lucas. As far as I know they are re-releasing all of them (including the original trilogy) in "3D." I will not be seeing any of them, myself. Now that Episode VII is going to be released in 2015, I am assuming this is why they are doing all the 3D re-releases in theaters.... And of course, money.

I agree 3D is very gimmicky, i try to watch the 2D films where possible but have ended up in a couple of 3D films. The one good thing i will say about 3D is that it draws the crowds so generally the 2D showing is not as busy :)

Totally agree. Usually used to prop up a bad film.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
