I'm shocked and amazed that Jedi hasn't come in here raving about the song :p

You know he will come in when he finds it and will be like "OMGZ ALICIA KEYS IS AWESOME!" but its not a bad song, just putting it out there.

I wonder what the movie version will be like.

They really need to get back in the studio and fiddle with it (IMO) - there is a decent-ish tune in there somewhere but it's buried deep, The first 45 seconds are suitably Bond like but the vocals sound like they were recorded in a bathroom!

PS - Not sure what the hell is going on at around 2:45 but it doesn't sound like she was enjoying it much!!!

Listened to it a couple of times and it's definately growing on me. As others have said, i was dubious about "You Know My Name" but when I saw it put into Casino Royale with the intro titles, I absolutely loved it, and I think this song will be the same. :yes:

To all those that are hating the new theme song, i had the same inital reaction but you have to listen to it a few times before it grows on you. Also you havent seen the imagery so you have no idea how that ties in. Im expecting a lot from this.

Why? Because i had the same reaction when Daniel Craig was assigned to play the role of Bond. How would a blonde haired, blue eyed man possibly capture the role of Bond that Ian Flemming imagined? Despite almost every critic providing their negative responses, the directors stuck to their guns and it proved more than successfull. Craig was the Bond that no other Bond could achieve. He was more modern than any other Bond, yet he still had the classical side to him (shaken not stirred ;) ) Some say hes up at Sean Connery's level.

Anyways the directors obviously know what their doing and the proved it with Casino Royale. This next installment should deliver more than everyone's expectations.

Stay tuned :)

^ maybe so but....

different direction with man shooting film and man directing single for film. I'd wager the two aren't related save for film association. I could be wrong, though this is the worst bond single eva and I've heard em all.

Goldfinger for life!

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.

      They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
