I liked the first episode, cant wait to see where this goes. FYI USA put the pilot out.

 

I am cautious of liking shows based on pilots. Pilots are meant to be good as they are often meant to attract full season pick-ups. Likewise, I am wary of shows with Slater in them: his last chunky assignment was Breaking In and that did not fare well. However, the premise of this one appears to be good and USA does have a reputation to uphold, so I am cautiously optimistic.

Slater's Mind Games was after Breaking In and that didn't last either.

Where can one UK based gents partake in a watch?

 

Usual UK approach: let's wait it out to see if it's good or not and then we MAY bring it over. If it's not Game of Thrones or something similar, you tend to wait months (if not year+). Dave shows Suits, which is another USA Network show, so they may pick it up eventually, but TBD.

Wait, is this is the thing they've been broadcasting all over twitch.tv for the last week or so?

 

Edit: And I answer my own question. It is..

Interesting promotion for the show. I knew about the show but I never put the two together until now.  :huh:

Just watched the pilot and I enjoyed it.

 

I have a few worries though. If they get too...techy I can see the show not making it very long with people losing interest when they start talking about things like which version of linux they're running.

 

They have to tread carefully there.

The whole "what version of linux they are running" wasmost likely put in there for the tech's, The show does offer a good balance so almost any one can understand what is going on, given all the cyber crime that is in the main stream news these days.  Would you rather the show turn into a "2 idiots one keyboard" type thing becuse that would be a very bad move for what this show is about. As long as they keep things realistic like how the hacks are carried out as in some of the CSI cyber shows I thnk MR Robot will get at leaset 2 series,

I never said they couldn't have their moments where they totally nerd it up and talk about linux.

 

Just sayin they need to tread carefully. If they go too far in that direction it's only going to appeal to a certain limited amount of people.

    • Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services by Taras Buria A new bug-fixing update is now rolling out to Firefox users in the Release Channel. Less than a week ago, Mozilla fixed crashes on Intel Raptor Lake processors with version 152.0.1. Now, Mozilla has prepared yet another set of fixes that address problems with localization, playback issues of certain MP4 files, and performance issues on website that perform various encryption operations at once. Here is the full changelog: Firefox 152.0.2 is now available for download from Mozilla's FTP. Existing installations will get the update over the next several hours. The latest version will also be available soon on the official website, the Microsoft Store, and Neowin's Software page. You can find Firefox 152.0.2 release notes in the official documentation. In case you missed it, Mozilla released Firefox 152 earlier this month. The latest feature update brought reworked settings with a more streamlined user interface, JPEG XL support, new features for Private mode, a new way to mute a tab (just type "mute" in the address bar), and many more. You can find the complete changelog here. In other Firefox news, Mozilla recently published its roadmap, where the company detailed the upcoming Nova redesign and other features it plans to implement. Mozilla wants to make the new user interface easier to navigate and more modern, with a heavy focus on its privacy tools, such as its built-in VPN. If you are curious, you can already enable the new UI as described here.

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By Malisk · Posted

      I wonder how many are laid off for cost savings, and this being blamed on AI to make it sound less scary and bad, for a more positive "modern, with the times" spin for investors? Because Oracle is down 14% the past year. We're looking at a company struggling here. If AI would actually be working out so well for them that they can do massive layoffs, surely this would've been reflected the past year in their stock value?

      AI is the beginning, wait until real robots replace more jobs, specifically jobs that require physical work.
