got a little rant here..

what is ESPN thinking? if anyone has watched sportscenter so far this week, youll know they are doing a 5 part series on the relationship between sports and music.. they'll do a little report.. which is semi interesting, and i dont have a problem with.. but then they have a "musical" performance..

yesterday it was Kid Rock.. who just yelled "somebodys gotta feel this" over and over.. i wasnt feeling it..

and then just now, some rapper, talking about how hes got money, how he's "so fly".. WTF?

during both of these they showed random highlights ranging from Bill Buckner to Mariano Rivera.. highlights that have nothing to do with the song or eachother.

Tomorrow, Five For Fighting is going to play their song "100 Years". I'm just failing to see what these performances have to do with anything, and why they are taking 5 minutes of SportsCenter away from me, that could be filled with more or extended highlights and/or more analysis.

I saw that with Kid rock yesterday and just started scratching my head....I want to see sports not some idiot screaming "feel this".

I dont see the relation between sports and a worn out punk.

You notice, too, that they have the Times Square backdrop, just like MTV? ESPN is selling out, they've let it gone to their heads.

I miss the good ol' days of Chris Berman, Charlie Steiner, Karl Ravich, Keith Olbermann, Bob Ley, etc...at least ESPNews is available.

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.

    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I'm not happy with myself for it, but I've gone and got hold of it. Just another 45 minutes and I'll be Bond, James Bond. In my defence, IO's Hitman series is awesome, and I'm a sucker for 007. So while it might seem a bit simplified compared to Hitman, I'm sure I'll be right at home.
