[Official] Doctor Who Thread


Recommended Posts

In pretty much the past week I've gone through all seven series again - when watching on the TV I would miss the occasional episode. Talk about a roller coaster of a ride!

Come on, November. I can't wait for this!

The misses has pretty much banned me from re-watching Dr Who... she caught on to my "Oh but I haven't seen this one before" pertty quickly :(

I'm fortunate. My girlfriend hasn't seen Doctor Who before, but given my ranting and raving in the past couple of weeks she's said that she needs to sit down and give it a watch. I just need to get her to the third series, and I reckon she'll get hooked. That's saying nothing against Christopher Eccleston, but story-wise it took some time before the writers found their feet.

I'm not sure how I feel about this, on one hand its showing off what this little island can do, showing that as small as we may be we have created something that is watched all over the world. However at the same time, this show is made possible by the people of this little island paying their license fee's, we kinda deserve to get this first! I don't think I would have this opinion of I could just see that damn trailer they showed at Comic Con!!!!

Let's be honest, it's to curb piracy

    • Along with that and very unfortunate for Linux, the AI boom/tariffs/global supply chain instability really destroyed any chances of it getting a decent chunk of market share. By all accounts, if a Steam Deck was still available for $399 (with tons of alternatives releasing at $500-$800 - instead of $1500+ now) and the Steam Machine was out there for $499, I think a lot of people WOULD have been willing to try SteamOS and switch away from Windows. But yeah, with the crazy jacked up prices now, people have to make safe bets with their money.
    • Neowin hasn't been covering the Ladybird browser but it has been posted about on a lot of tech and Linux/open source sites. I have been following the effort myself for almost a year now. Cloudflare and Proton are among their sponsors. You can read the why here--> https://ladybird.org/#about
    • That's really the user's problem, not the developers. It's not like the Windows 10 EOL was a surprise. Once a product goes out of support, you have to understand YOU are owning the risk of running it - the rest of the world will move on, maybe you'll be OK, maybe you'll be OK for a while, maybe you'll have an issue.... But you can't expect devs to write or certify software for dead operating systems.
    • Not mentioned in this blog post is that Linux has now dropped for 2 months in a row. At a hight of 5.33% in March, then 4.52% in April and now 3.99% in May. I suspect the end of Windows 10 got a bunch of people to try Linux, fueled by all the Microsoft hate, and rabid social media push of that....and now they are going back to Windows 11 because of the normal Linux issues. The vast majority of PC gamers want to use their computers to game and not trouble shoot why a game wont work, or half work.
    • do these change.org petitions ever do anything besides give people a place to complain?
