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.

i hear what you are saying! but i think you have read to much into my reply. but come to think of it why would it be a bad thing to have a more techie show? , why should the show bend to the whim of the unwashed masses whos tech ability is at the limit of posting a new facebook status or looking for the cats who wantz cheeseburgers.

 

again not a personal attack on your comment.

Because if you want a show to have more than 1 season then you need a show to appeal to as many people as possible.

 

And making it so tech oriented that only a small minority of people who are interested in that stuff isn't going to do that.

I just finished watching this show.  It is so cool.  It definitely has the original Matrix's dystopian view of society, especially with the fiction E Corp running virtually everything.  So, I have a question, since Elliot views E Corp as Evil Corp, when it shows it that way on news tickers, is that how the news is calling them?  Or is it just Elliot's imagination?  The same with his boss calling them Evil Corp; is he really saying that, or is that just what Elliot hears?

 

I can't hardly wait for episode 2!

I thought it was only how he sees it.

He explains that he has conditioned himself to see them as Evil Corp and the show is from his perspective / point of view.

Thoughts of Ep 3? I liked it which is good after not enjoying episode 2 that much.

 

Some things - spoiler warning

 

very interesting developments with Tyrell. Paying to beat the ###### out of a homeless guy. The way he was with his wife who is pregnant. The gay sex. Rooting the phone. 

 

And the whole Evil Corp connection to Angela's mum and Elliot's dad's death.

 

Ollie coming clean and Angela dumping him then un-dumping him 5 minutes later.

 

Elliot getting a "girlfriend" in the most awkward way possible.

He mentioned at the start of the 3rd episode that the hospitals computer systems run on Windows 98 ... but the screenshot they showed, says differently

 

 

You're right - that looks like either Windows 2000 or Windows ME.  That Recycle Bin icon is definitely not Win98.  Good catch warwagon!  I love his exposition.  This is William Highsmith.  He's an idiot.  Course it's not entirely his fault; he has a yearly IT budget of $7,000.

    • TerraMaster F2-425 Pro review: a low-powered Intel NAS that ships with AI (OpenClaw)

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.

      I doubt that Google will keep the same price... it may go up from that list published.
    • Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen If you are in the market for high-quality audiophile-grade over-ear headphones then Sennheiser's HD 600 are a great choice for sure, especially today on Prime Day 2026 as the product has hit its lowest ever price (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Sennheiser HD 600 has long been regarded as a reference headphone for listeners seeking a detailed and natural listening experience. It is an open-back design that is built around the idea of acoustic transparency which is essentially said to allow sound waves to move freely for a more spacious and accurate presentation by reducing turbulence and the type of distortion that can result from it. At the heart of the product is Sennheiser’s proprietary driver system featuring a 42 mm driver paired with a lightweight diaphragm and aluminum voice coils. The company says this design helps deliver fast response times and better articulate sound across the audible frequency range. Comfort and durability are also key aspects of the HD 600 as the headphones feature soft velour ear pads designed for extended listening sessions. The HD 600 comes with a detachable 3-meter cable, a 6.3 mm stereo connector, and a 3.5 mm adapter for compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment. The technical specs of the Sennheiser HD 600 are given in the table below: Specification Value Transducer Principle Dynamic, Open-Back Ear Coupling Circumaural (Over-Ear) Frequency Response 12 Hz – 40,500 Hz Sound Pressure Level (SPL) 97 dB (1 V) Impedance 300 Ω Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) < 0.1% (1 kHz, 1 V) Cable Length 3 m (9.8 ft) Connector 3.5 mm Stereo Jack Plug Included Adapter 6.3 mm (1/4") Stereo Jack Adapter Weight 260 g Magnetic Field Strength 1.8 mT Driver Size 42 mm Dynamic Driver Diaphragm Size 38 mm Get it at the link below: Sennheiser HD 600: $237.00 (Sold by Electronics Expo, Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $449.95) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By cleverclogs · Posted

      So the card is targeted at headphone users - so the review should be from someone that uses this - maybe I can review a card next time.
