Hero Complex: OK, so why Groot?

 

Vin Diesel: I?m an actor. I can do whatever the ? I want. As an actor, not everything has to be the most obvious choice. And sometimes, the best thing you can do ? as far as Steven Spielberg and his advice ? is to defy expectations. So if everybody thinks you?re going to go for this one thing and you flip it entirely and go for the strangest Marvel character, it?s interesting. And when something is interesting, it?s inspiring.

 

Why did you post a picture of the character on Facebook this weekend?

 

Diesel: I get inspired by things. So if somebody sends me a book of conceptual art that?s the best character design work I?ve ever seen ? I?m not kidding, I see that and I want to be a little cryptic and I want to say something positive. Even if it?s as cryptic as an old, dated image of a character.

 

Marvel is notoriously secretive about its movies, and you?re very open. Isn?t it mad you?ve been dropping hints about ?Guardians??

 

Diesel: The last thing they are is mad. I?m pretty open, but I have been secretive about this. I went to Comic-Con and I got blasted while I was on the Hall H panel for ?Riddick.? Someone asked a Marvel question. I couldn?t say anything because of that secrecy.

I bet that's a fan-made picture because the cut out looks pretty cheap. They basically just cut out all the characters from the concept-art image, haha.

 

James Gunn tweeted it himself and he's the director lol

    • 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.

      The world is larger then your small viewpoint. Plenty of scientists care about this, especially those involved in space.
