Does this have anything to do with that flashback last season where Jin really wanted to get that stuffed panda and also at the same time (presumably) Sun was in labour? And it turned out that Jin was actually going to give the panda to his boss's newborn. I wonder maybe Sun hasn't realised that Jin wasn't actually alive and stuff.

I'm not entirely sure what you're question is, but those events were in two separate time sequences. They led us to believe, up until the end, that Jen was alive and bringing the panda to Sun, but then we found he had died on the freighter. Which, now we know wasn't true.

But Sun believes he's dead.

WHY are you spoiler masking something MAJORITY of us have seen 1 YEAR AGO?

Why ARE you SPAZZING out over it? :blink:

Ok, chill out, I changed it straight away after realising that there's no need for the spoiler tags. I'm not an exact regular in this topic.

@Hurmoth Anyways, I was confused and found it hard to remember what actually happened, and thanks to you, I realise that they were at two separate time sequences. And just a little question (sorry for not understanding lost really does do my head in), the events on the island are 3 years behind the events in the outside world right?

And just a little rumour, I don't know if its already been mentioned - the H-Bomb in episode 3 possibly being guarded in the hatch requiring the button presses?

I don't think so. I think that was a flash forward (Sun) and flash back (Jin) because Jin was still working for Suns father at the time.

That's exactly what I was saying: "two separate time sequences"

A flashback and a flash-forward would be two separate time sequences.

Some of the events off the island in the flash-forwards are three years after the 6 left, yes. But some aren't. For example, we see Penny give birth and then we see their son much older.

Who thinks Ben knows Jin is Alive?

I don't see how Ben could possibly know such a thing considering he hasn't been on the island since he turned the frozen donkey wheel.

Remember, he doesn't even know what happened to the others on the island. He asked Jack if Locke told him and when Jack said no, he stated, "well, I guess we'll never know."

Whether or not he's telling the truth is anyone's guess, but I don't see how he could know if Jin is alive or not.

Wait, how did Ben actually get off the island himself? Did he just do some random teleportation via the FDW or something? That guy is still so damn mysterious. And I think it would probably be the wreckage of the freighter (although impossible the island might have 'wanted' to keep him as he must be special to be travelling through time too as well as the other survivors)

MY question is, are ALL the others inhabitants of the island also travelling through time? When richard gave locke the compass, he dissapeared with the next flash, right? That means that that richard belonged to that time, and it was not "present-supposedly-time-travelling richard". Do we know 'when' richard gave the compass to locke? Was it the future? I guess it will all be explained when locke tells richard that we has wounded. But for all we know, that one richard was not moving through time.

No, only the people we're seeing move through time are the ones moving. Richard gave Locke the compass sometime in 2004 after the plane crash, after Boone died, because the small plane carrying Eko's brother was on the ground.

And just a little rumour, I don't know if its already been mentioned - the H-Bomb in episode 3 possibly being guarded in the hatch requiring the button presses?

This was already addressed a few pages back. The h-bomb is not in the hatch.

Don't remember a frozen blue room with a wheel that he turned that has caused the current sporadic events...? And of course it's the wreckage of the freighter Jin was floating on. What else could it possibly be?

The promo I saw after the show had Ben saying that he knows Jin is alive and can prove it to Sun.

      Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • DuRoBo Krono Review: Portable E-Ink reader with great ideas that need a bit of improvement

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • what other retro software do yall use

      Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
