I wonder if Canada was affected. Could be a US only thing though. I also wonder what the US government does? I bet they flew the president to some secret underground bunker. Also, I heard the US has nukes in Alaska.

i thought the first episode was cool. although i love doomsday stuff. the last 2 have been kind of slow and boring, but i guess they have to stretch it out to at least fill one season. the show did make me read up on what to do when this really happens, and also plan escape routes if necessary :)

Yeah hes up to something, I dont think he set off any bombs, but given that he did remove the towns assault weapon when it was raining, and given that by next weeks episode, hes creating profiles or checking out the towns people ie who might be a threat; my theory would be that maybe hes ensuring he or his organisation can control the town directly/indirectly.

And the little dictatorship he has going with his family is ludicrous.

Yeah thats pretty mad trying to get them to have a working story is just mad...I think he is some kind of renegade group who want to use this situation to take over a town and start up their own dictation :unsure:

Im sorry I wasnt aware that speculation or voicing an opinion in regards to a character was tantamount to criticising the writers of the show......I just keep forgetting that dang lavish link between speculation and criticism...

I have to say I dont think its right...during a nuclear disaster to have someone plot against poeple in the town...but seeing as the towns in disaray its a good time to do anything big knowing they cant really defend themselves.

Ok, so the disclaimer text just informs us that he's using a satellite internet connection.

ah interesting. he seems to know quite a bit. so he was the one that told them about the radioactive rain? was it ever really a threat or did he use it to get the weapons?

where were those weapons exactly?

i dont know what it is about this show that bugs me... i keep losing interest with every episode, they try so hard to make it suspensful and mysterious and peak interest in that black dude and what's he's got to do with it.. but i keep thinking to myself that for some reason i really dont care, or that i can't really think of a way that it can turn out to be not so cheesy.. the whole "they're coming" in the last episode just threw me over the edge... who's coming, and who really cares who "they" are.. it had so much potential to be a good show along the lines of 24 with terrorist activity and whatnot, but it's looking more and more along the lines of some pathetic sci fi garbage..

/end rant

    • Weekend PC Game Deals: Anno 117, Final Fantasy VII, Rematch, and more

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Weekend PC Game Deals: Anno 117, Final Fantasy VII, Rematch, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Weekend PC Game Deals is where the hottest gaming deals from all over the internet are gathered into one place every week for your consumption. So kick back, relax, and hold on to your wallets. The Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways may have ended, but its regular freebies didn't miss a step this week. The double drop was for copies of Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King. Speed Freeks lands for multiplayer racing fans, but with plenty of competitive shooting elements too. You will be piloting Ork buggies, tanks, and aircraft modeled after the popular tabletop miniatures while trying to complete objectives and pass finish lines. Next, Ouroboros King is a crossover between chess and tactical roguelikes, offering the chance to create your own army with special rules to beat incoming foes on the board. The double giveaway on the Epic Games Store will be available until June 11, and replacing it will be Citizen Sleeper and ROBOBEAT. The Humble Store brought a new charity bundle to check out this week too. Landing with the name The Complete Inkle Library, this is a large collection of interactive narrative puzzle games from the publisher Inkle. This begins with Heaven's Vault, four parts from the Sorcery series, 80 Days, Overboard, and Pendragon: Narrative Tactics within the starting tier for $9. Hopping up a step to the $12 tier gets you TR-49, Expelled, and A Highland Song for paying at least $12. If you go for the $20 tier, you get four e-books from the Heaven's Vault series.

    • Microsoft releases major feature updates for stock Windows 11 apps

      By Neeo · Posted

      When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
