"Hey Doc! Call me 'Super-Sock'. We had a small party and under threats of death if any details are leaked, we were allowed to watch a "Work Print" of "Tale of Two Cities". First the overall impression. I know alot of people are saying that they will drag out the reveal of who the others are and what they are doing, I was stunned by how much was revealed. It wasn't 100% but you will know, roughly, what they do and how long they have been at the 'island'. I quote that because, honestly, I'm not so sure it is an island. There was a lot of unfinished effects work in the print we watched but it was clear they wanted to give it the look of an artificial land mass. But on a scale that no human could ever build. The episode is mind game after mind game. First you think their free, then their captive, then their free again. The "others" idea of testing is seeing how they will react in different situations. In the end of it, Fenry makes Jack an offer which will just blow your mind, but it looks like another test. It ends with Hurley finding Desmond naked in the Jungle. There are some very cool things shown, there is a connection between Sarah and Locke, there are definite signs in the flashback that there were forces at work pushing Jack, at least, towards his encounter with a predetermined destiny. Jack is definitely left in a very strange headspace. There was no music and the effects were only partially done but it seemed like there was a LOT of CGI. Oh, and at one point you definitely hear the monster in the others habitat. There is no doubt he is "one of them". '

Don't Read if you are looking forward to it tho it could be BS.

Just came back from the world premiere - wow. About a little more than half of the spoiler above is wrong. Just a few major, crazy spoilers ahead - do not read if you can wait until Wednesday:

The opening scene was pretty nuts. You get to see the plane coming down again - just outside a book club meeting in a seemingly suburban house after a slight shake. Everyone comes out of their houses, including Ben (Henry Gale), and sees the plane breaking in half and coming down in flames. He then orders Ethan and Goodwin to go to the respective parts and do their thing. We also meet a new person - Juliette.

The whole rest of the episode is about the current situation of the three captives - no sign of any other person from the islands whatsoever. The flashback is about Jack and seeing how crazy he gets about his soon-to-be ex-wife.

Jack is held in a cell in a part of a complex that's underwater. Juliette keeps an eye on him, and they go through their little talks/confrontations. In a quick bid to escape, Jack rushes the door when Juliette comes to bring him food and he holds her captive. He tells her to open a certain door, but she refuses, saying that they'll all die. Ben (again, Henry) confirms this, but Jack wants out. He pushes Juliette away and attempts to open the door. Juliette tries to escape, but Ben closes the door behind him. Jack and Juliette then get flooded with water from behind the door. They manage to close the door and release the water, and Juliette knocks Jack out, making him captive again.

Sawyer is in a cage across from another captive. He's press a big red button with a knife and fork on it, and both times a "warning" is spoken over the loud speaker in his cage. When he attempts, a third time, the young guy in the cage across from him warns against it - Sawyer presses it anyway, and gets shot across the room with a huge shock. The kid later breaks out of his cage, after unsuccessfully trying to get Sawyer to tell him how far away the camp was. He then breaks Sawyer out, and they split up to try and get away. Sawyer gets taken down with a taser and is put back in the cage. Tom then brings the kid, bloodied and bruised, to Sawyer's cage and forces the kid to apologize to Sawyer for involving him in his breakout attempt. He's then taken away to God knows where. Later, Sawyer figures out the contraption in the cage that would provide him with food by using a rock to hit a contraption. A fish biscuit and some sort of kibble falls from a chute, and water shoots out from a dirty pipe on the ground. Soon after he is joined by a familiar face...

After waking up, Kate is told by Tom to take a shower - after that, she is left a "wear this" note near the locker where she stored her clothes - she puts on the dress in the locker and is escorted to have breakfast with Henry. At the table, after being told to handcuff herself, she questions why Henry has made here wear a dress, has made a nice breakfast for her, etc. He says that he wanted to make her feel like a lady, give her something nice to hold on to, because the next two weeks are going to be very unpleasant. She later takes the place of the kid that was across from Sawyer's cell. Tom makes a comment about Sawyer finally figuring out the food system, and Sawyer confirms. Tom then says, "It only took the bears two hours." Sawyer: "How many of them were there?" Sawyer then throws the fish biscuit to Kate, and reveals a comforting smile because she's alright.

It ends with Jack finding out that Juliette somehow knows his whole life, and cries tears of Joy after finding out that Sarah was happy. He then starts to listen Juliette, leaning up against the wall as per her instructions in order to get food. I didn't see the connection between Sarah and Locke, but there was a point in the flashback that Jack interrupts his dad's AA meeting because he thinks the dad's seeing Sarah - I think the mediator may have been Locke's girlfriend, but I'm not sure - I'd have to see it again.

That's it! It was pretty crazy - crowded beach, and I was right near the speaker so it was super loud, but it was a good premier :D

I'm trying really hard not to look at the spoiler. I read the first sentence and was thankfully able to stop myself. I just have to hold off for a few more days...

BTW, is the premier 2 hours or just 1?

Pretty sure it will be 1 hour, shame.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Of course the problem was Secure Boot's new certificates. Install media created by the official Media Creation Tool is already signed with a valid certificate from Microsoft, so maybe that certificate isn't "up-to-date" enough for machines with the new ones installed in the UEFI. There's really no other logical explanation.

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
