Probably because it isn't 1993 anymore..... No doubt the computer you're using is also very different than 22 years ago

Back in the 90s I never thought I would have an 8 core machine. I remember in 1999 IBM was working on a dual core CPU and they were having all kinds of issues because it was getting way too hot...LOL....LOL.

I predict they will ax it sooner than later:

Now...Don't get me wrong...I would love for this show to be successful. I kinda like the chic. She's cute and she's not doing a bad job, but this show should be in Syndication not CBS. It has a better chance to make it on the Sci-Fi channel or USA Network than it does on CBS. If it gets cancelled (which looks inevitable the way the ratings are going), I hope Sci-Fi, CW or USA grabs it.

 

I'd like to see Netflix pick it up if it gets cancelled, like they did Longmire, The Killing, and Arrested Development.

If anything it would probably go to the CW channel if CBS cans it.

I somewhat agree with you. While the 3rd episode did pick up the pace from the slow 2nd one, I have a feeling now that Kara is out to prove herself and stand alone,

 

I agree. She's learning her powers, and soon enough she'll be the tough, confident, sexy, strong heroine who won't take any crap from baddies. The kind of woman that turns me on :) Melissa is amazing in the costume, she's a sweetheart, if she can pull both the sweet and tough egos off she'll be as perfect as I feel she can be.

As for the love triangle stuff, how many guys here can honestly say they wouldn't be doing all they can to get into trouble to have Supergirl rescue them if she really existed? I for one would be front of the queue jumping off a bridge to have her swoop me up! Jimmy Olsen needs to go though, and Calista. Get rid of the cheese, SG will turn itself around tenfold.

Human for a Day next week after a massive heat vision blast at Red Tornado, just like Superman after he uses his heat vision derived Super Flare - down for a day. Like a giant collection of solar supercapacitors, their cells are, and Kryptonians sometimes need to recharge.

 

Yes, its canon

Laura Vandervoort to Appear on Supergirl

 

Laura Vandervoort, the actress who played Kara Zor-El in Smallville, will appear in an upcoming episode of Supergirl as the villain Indigo, producers revealed today at the Television Critics Association.

 

The character will appear in the fifteenth episode of the show's first season, which will follow on the heels of what are expected to be two anticipated episodes.

 

Indigo is described by producers as "a living, strong-willed supercomputer that was sentenced to Fort Rozz after turning against the people of Krypton. Now on Earth, Indigo will let nothing stand in her way."

I don't like the fact they are using the crystalline FoS of the movies & Smallville -- I don't remember if the FoS ever appeared on Superboy -- when this Supergirl appears to come from the same technologically advanced Krypton like in the MoS movie.

Well, I'm surprised no one posted about this, but Supergirl is getting a season 2, and in the process it's moving from CBS over to the CW.  This means we're in for a good bit more crossovers going down, more flash and maybe some Arrow if they feel like it?

Supergirl retains Monday night spot following move CW.

 

Unlike its competitors, The CW has figured out a formula to make superhero shows work. In keeping up with audience demand for more superhero related content, The CW announced today that it will air Supergirl at 8 p.m. ET during its upcoming fall season.

 

Supergirl, which stars Melissa Benoit as the titular superhero, had its first season on CBS, but the network announced earlier this month that it wasn't going to renew the show. Instead, CBS moved Supergirl over to The CW, its sister network, where network president Les Moonves thought the show might fare better. The show suffered from poor ratings on CBS, even with the support from the network and a pretty good time slot (it also aired at 8 p.m. ET on CBS).

I could be wrong but I remember hearing it had something like 10-13million viewers?  If that's correct then how is that low ratings for CBS?

It started with almost 13 million viewers but then lost over half of them.

    • AltSendme 0.4.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By zikalify · Posted

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By excalpius · Posted

      The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?
