lol...we'll see how this goes. Hopefully its good, but I will remain cautiously optimistic till I see the first 4 hours. Redemption was ok at best, wasn't all that special really.

And Lol at the comment about Tony not taking his wife being blown to bits news well lmao. No s*** Einstein.

After an excruciating wait of almost two years - TWO YEARS! - 24 finally returns for its seventh season next week. I've had the honour of seeing the first four hours of Day 7 and.. well... it's amazing. Read on for some trademark Tube Talk teasers - and if you're a spoilerphobe, go away NOW!

* CTU has been "recently disbanded" and, as we start the season, Jack is in Washington for a senate hearing into the organisation's unconventional and illegal methods.

* Shortly after his examination begins, Renee Walker (Annie Wersching), a Special Agent with the FBI, arrives to extract him.

* Jack is taken to FBI headquarters and told that they are dealing with a terrorist threat from a gang lead by Tony Almeida (Carlos Bernard).

* Jack is understandably in denial at first - after all, he watched Tony die - but then Renee shows him a recent photograph and informs him that she ordered the exhumation of Tony's body. It wasn't his.

* Meanwhile, President Taylor (Cherry Jones) is preparing to take the nation to war with Sangala over the genocide caused by General Juma's reign.

* Henry Taylor (Colm Feore), the First Gentleman, is looking into his son Roger's apparent suicide. Through a PI, he discovers that Roger's girlfriend Samantha received a payment of $400,000 just days after Roger's death - so starts to go off the books to investigate further.

* For the first couple episodes - and this is a theme that will recur throughout the season - we see a notably restrained Jack. In the wake of the senate hearings he faces pressure from the FBI to do everything by proper procedure. So that's no torturing of suspects, please. By episode three he's back on form though - and watch out for a spectacular high jump at the end of episode two.

* Other key FBI personnel to keep an eye on this season include Larry Moss, the Assistant Director in Charge (a real stickler for the rules); Janis Gold, who's the FBI's version of Chloe; and Sean, Janis's number two.

* Speaking of Chloe (Mary Lynn Rajskub), the good news is that she's back this season, along with Bill Buchanan (James Morrison). The pair are obviously no longer working for CTU, but they are working together. All is revealed in episode three.

* What exactly is the terrorist threat that Tony and his gang are scheming up? It involves something called a CIP device, which gives the bearer access to key US infrastructure - think water, power, Air Traffic Control.

* The dearly departed Teri Bauer is referenced, as is wayward daughter Kim (returning later in the season).

* Tony's "death" and subsequent resurrection are explained properly by the man himself - and thankfully, it is plausible.

* Deep Sky.

Episodes 1 - 4 have been leaked and apparently the person will be leaking some more.

Obviously I'm not going to say where, or promote piracy

Every year it happens, its nothing new but I think it was last year the person got jailed.

    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
