Gets canceled in 3...2...1.

 

**** should have hit the fan in the 2nd episode. But instead they are already putting in filler like they did with Stargate universe.

Don't get me wrong this show looks interesting, but its definitely not like how they portrait it in the trailer.

 

The preview for next week looks promising though.

 

It's Syfy. They are not going to cancel it. Warehouse 13 and Lost Girl have been on for ages, and they are not nearly as good as this.

Never watched Lost Girl, but I must respectfully disagree regarding Warehouse 13. But to each their own :)
She could cure me of any disease :P

I think Lost Girl is a Canada produced show and SyFi just pays to re-air it.  Where as Warehouse 13 (last season coming up) was produced by SyFy themselves same with Helix.

 

So far the two episode was pretty good; only time will tell.

Anyone catch episode 4?

I thought it was okay, but felt a bit slow. But then again, considering this show's plot, I suppose I'm going to have to deal with some filler drama in each episode.

Nevertheless, I still enjoyed the episode.

Oh and Jordan Hayes :wub:

It seems like a good show, but I am annoyed. Usually I watch an entire season after it has aired to avoid many cliffhangers, but not with Helix. Too many questions presented in each episode without adequate answers. It makes me remember why I stopped watching shows as they air...

Alot of progress this week!

Yes it was, definitely the best episode yet. Even so, there's still a lot more questions being asked than answered right now. With only 13 episodes in a season, I think they need to start answering some of these big questions that's nagging us.

 

Looking at the ratings, I'm concerned that this show might not get a second season (episode 1 had 1.89 million viewers, while White Room fell to 1.13 million viewers)  :/

 

Considering how few people even here seem to be interested in the show, I don't have high hopes unfortunately.

I'm still watching and enjoying the show but the dumb decisions of some of the characters was really taking the immersion out of earlier episodes for me.  Some of the over-arching story line aspects were also a little clich? and predictable.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      This seems backwards. You should have to explicitly authorize files for outside use. It shouldn't be the default.

      Wow you are right, I never even noticed this until you said it! (870E Aorus Master) Before testing this card I had a TP-Link tx401 10GbE PCIe card in that slot (now using XikeStor 310 Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter).

      Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.
