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.

    • Microsoft further improving Windows 11 Taskbar with latest builds

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft further improving Windows 11 Taskbar with latest builds by Sayan Sen Microsoft has released new Windows 11 builds for users flighting the Experimental channels. The new builds are 26300.8758 for Windows 11 26H2, 28120.2374 for 26H1, and 29617.1000 for future platforms. There are improvements related to the Taskbar, File Explorer and more with the new update. The full changelogs are given below: First we have the build 26300.8758: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Taskbar] Taskbar customization just got easier. As we continue to make improvements to the Taskbar experience mentioned last month, we've introduced a dedicated Taskbar Size setting, making it simpler to find, understand, and personalize your ideal taskbar experience. UI showing the new Taskbar Size setting in Settings. We've also made refinements to the transitions between taskbar sizes for a smoother overall experience. [File Explorer] We've improved the reliability of thumbnail previews for cloud files in the Details pane. The pane has also been reorganized so file properties are easier to find and review at a glance. Fixed an issue where the OneDrive shortcut in File Explorer stops working when File Explorer is run in administrative mode. Fixed an issue where the confirmation dialog might display an internal Recycle Bin file name instead of the original file name when permanently deleting a file. [Sounds] Improved system sounds when using Windows in dark mode. Up next we have build 28120.2374: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out This update includes a small set of general improvements and fixes [Mobile Device Settings] You can add and manage your mobile devices in Settings under Bluetooth & Devices > Mobile Devices. On this page, you can manage features such as using your device as a connected camera or accessing your device's files in File Explorer. [Remote Recovery Management] Added a recovery remote management plug-in to extend WinRE management capabilities for MDM providers. [Input] The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY as the GIF provider, delivering a smoother GIF browsing and sharing experience following the deprecation of the Tenor API. Finally we have the changelog for Windows 11 build 29617.1000: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Windows Update] As announced in the Windows Update announce blog, we are now bringing a new unified update experience to reduce the number of reboots you see per month. We are starting by coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates to align with the monthly quality update, reducing the update experience to a single monthly restart. See the blog for more information. [Windows Magnifier] Magnifier now gives you more control over how you zoom. You can type an exact zoom percentage directly in the magnifier toolbar to land on precisely the level you need. We've also added preset step increments (5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 150%, 200%, and 400%) to the Settings dropdown, so you can jump to common levels in a single click. Whether you need a subtle boost or a dramatic close-up, Magnifier adapts to how you want to zoom. ../images/zoom.png Enter an exact percentage or jump to preset steps —5% up to 400%. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Magnifier. [Accessibility] We're introducing screen tint, a new accessibility setting that applies a color overlay across your entire display, softening its intensity so it's easier on your eyes throughout the day. If bright, saturated screens leave you with tired or sensitive eyes by the end of a long session, screen tint can help. ../images/screentint.png Screenshot showing UI for screen tint in Accessibility, with color presets and a strength slider. To get started, open Settings > Accessibility (or press WIN + U) and look for screen tint under the Vision section. From there, you can: Pick from six preset colors or choose a custom color of your own. Adjust the tint strength slider from a subtle wash to full intensity. Night light warms your display to reduce blue light that can interfere with sleep. Screen tint reduces overall screen intensity to ease eye fatigue and light sensitivity during the day. They tackle different problems and you can use both at the same time, one working on warmth and the other on intensity. Note that turning on screen tint will disable color filters, and vice versa. If you currently rely on color filters, you might need to keep screen tint turned off. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Narrator. [Voice Access] Voice Access now supports Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), and Korean (South Korea). [Audio] Continuing our work on improving Sound Settings, we've made a few more updates in this build: We've adjusted the description text for the Allow option in properties for audio devices to include the current state of the device, to improve the clarity of the text and the purpose of the button actions. "Listen to this device" is now available in properties for audio devices, so you don't need to enter Control Panel for this functionality. [Multiple Desktops] Improved explorer reliability when switching between multiple desktops. [Storage] We've updated the dialog when creating a Dev Drive to now support specifying the size in GB instead of only MB. This has also been added when changing the size of volumes under Settings > System > Storage. [Personalization] This update improves color selection accuracy when adjusting your accent color to match your wallpaper when automatic accent color selection is enabled in Personalization settings. This update improves wallpaper persistence reliability across restarts and upgrades, including better support for large-resolution wallpapers and other scenarios to prevent solid color wallpaper fallback. [Display and Graphics] Improves the reliability and persistence of applying color profiles. You can view the official blog posts here (link1, link2, link3) on Microsoft's site.
