All I gotta say about anything right now is, who the hell wrote and came up with the idea of Lashley making out with Lana on stage like that for like 5 minutes? Who thought that was a good idea, because I can almost promise you Paul Heyman did not 😛 I mean I might be interested in a fued between Lashley and Rusev (if they FINALLY push Rusev right) with Lana involved. But they kinda did the same story a few years back or however long it was with Rusev and Lana and Summer Rae etc (I think Ziggler was involved also?) not to mention the whole angle they did with them and that British dude I can't remember his name (sorry dude!).

 

Also, I really hope they don't ship AJ Styles back to Smackdown next week for the new draft. I imagine they will but I'd much rather see him on RAW to be honest. Especially if Richocet and Alexander etc all stay on RAW. So unless they move a ton of the high flyers to Smackdown, leave Styles there. Plus he's still got a Universal title run coming up I'd hope at some point. I know they are going to really stack the deck in favor of Smackdown because of the move to FOX and all, but if that's in the detriment to RAW itself then, no thanks.

Well, I stayed up for both NXT and AEW - mostly AEW, and NXT's still going on at the moment - but it was worth staying up late and booking a day off work to recover from this all-nighter. 😛 I won't spoil anything yet, but it's safe to say we've definitely got competition again. It's a great time to be a wrestling fan!

Well I'd imagine AEW would win week one in the ratings, since most people would be interested in the new thing and not the thing that's been on for a week already and not the new new thing....right.

 

In any event, those numbers aren't great for NXT, unless WWE is happy with a drop below 1 million already. I imagine that's also from AEW being on, but hell during the Monday Night Wars everyone was switching back and forth and with today's ways of watching, who knows.

NXT only lost about 100,000 viewers from last week, so AEW definitely seem to be picking up the lapsed fans that they're targeting. The other thing that hinders NXT is, ironically, the WWE Network, as it's a lot easier to watch on-demand, so when choosing between the two, people will be more likely to watch AEW live. Still, over 2 million Americans watched wrestling on a Wednesday night; that alone is impressive. 😛

 

What isn't impressive though is ITV's treatment of Dynamite. First technical issues meant they uploaded it to the ITV Hub almost 3 hours later than planned, and now after looking through it, they've made some fairly substantial edits: no intro, none of the pre-taped promos, and worst of all, an entire match is missing (MJF vs. Brandon Cutler)!

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.

      The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
