Technically the 3 hr miniseries was not the "Series" premiere and no is was done over 2 days back to back

Fair enough:):)

I'm glad they went back to a gate design which actually rotated. Atlantis looked like some knock-off show. I hope we get to see a decent scene of the General Hammond and that Ha'tak vessel going at each other.

You might have missed this in Atlantis' final episode.... but it was revealed General Hammond died of a heart attack :(

Edit: Oh.... you did mention that it was a vessel. My mistake

Not impressed. Most of the characters seem like generic versions of other characters in media. Chubby smart kid seems like 'Seth' from 'Superbad', and the main scientist guy reminds me of a lame version of Baltar from BS:G. Dunno why they feel the need to stick a rebellious 'bad-boy' black dude into every season, either.

Really want it to improve, but this premier doesn't leave me with much hope. It's all starting to seem pretty tired and retreaded.

It was rather good however i can honestly say i have no idea where they are going from here in ways of the overall story and concept for this one not to mention if they are going to be playing off of must of the old story line other than that the Ancients build the ship

It was in one of the SG-1 movies, Continuum, actually. And I don't think they said what he died from, just that he died. It was a nod to the actor who died IRL.

Why does every show have to do things in flash back form now?

There was this little show, maybe you've heard of it ... very popular ... called Lost.

What does the Asgard have to do with the new show? Maybe they will run into the Furlings somewhere in the universe. :p

Excactly.

They can't run into the Ancients (well, they can, sorta) and as far as we know the Nox are only in the Milky Way. The Asgard and Furlings are the only two we can meet now really (since the Nox are really like, not gonna show up anymore I'm sure) and now it's down to the Furlings!

Those little ewoks from the 200th episode of SG-1 is probably the closest we'll ever get sadly lol

Meanwhile, I fell asleep and missed Universe (ugh) but saw the finale 10 minutes or so, and just saw the first 15 or so minutes. I liked what I saw (especially Daniel Jackson giving the video into to the Stargate lol) but I still need to see the remaining 1+ hours of it. I'll catch it again hopefully or see it on Hulu or whatever tomorrow etc.

To me the Asgard are gone and done. I'd rather they explore new stuff than cling to old stuff.

That chick near the end called the engine an FTL drive. She must be a BSG fan. :D It seems like some people are calling Rush a poor copy of Baltar.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By snowy owl · Posted

      I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs by Sayan Sen While Microsoft has been trying to improve it, Windows 11 is definitely not flawless, as even today some issues are taking a year to publicly acknowledge. However, one area of trouble that may finally see much better results soon is graphics driver crashes. Work on graphics driver timeouts, also called Timeout and Detection Recovery (TDR), is not new as the latest WDDM 3.2 also has specific improvements regarding it. Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) version 3.2 is supported on Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2. However, with the upcoming version 26H2, TDR crash diagnosis could go to the next level as Microsoft is introducing a new DirectX 12 API feature called "DirectX Dump Files". Similar to how system memory dump files work when a system crashes or freezes or encounters any such major issue, DirectX Dump Files (DDF) will essentially record a snapshot of the GPU execution right at the moment a graphics-related crash or hang or freeze occurs, so that developers can better understand and diagnoze these TDR and timeout detection errors. The dump will be available as a .dxdmp file for analysis and it will be a comprehensive dump file generated with detailed insights about the hardware, drivers, Windows, as well as the affected application. This should be another welcome change in this department. Earlier at GDC 2026, when the technology was first debuted, Microsoft had shared more details regarding it. The company had explained how DDF is designed to gather data from every layer of the graphics stack into a single file, eliminating the need for developers to manually correlate logs from multiple tools. As mentioned above, the dump can contain a lot of useful details like GPU hardware state information such as register values, shader program counters, page fault virtual addresses, shader memory data, and command buffers. Alongside that, it also captures DirectX runtime and kernel information, including D3D objects, pipeline state objects, device error data, adapter details, and CPU call stacks. Microsoft says the feature has been built around two primary use cases: retail device removals and local device removals. The former allows developers to collect crash information from end users' systems in the field, while the latter helps QA teams and developers investigate issues on test machines. Developers will also be able to include up to 2 MB of custom application data through new D3D12 APIs, providing additional context for troubleshooting. In addition, Microsoft is introducing three dump collection modes ranging from zero-overhead capture, which has no runtime performance impact on supported hardware, to higher-detail modes that collect more vendor-specific debugging data. On compatible Tier 2 hardware, zero-overhead dumps will be enabled by default, meaning developers may begin receiving useful crash diagnostics without making any code changes. The table below explains the three tiers: Tier Description NO_OVERHEAD Enables crash capture with no runtime cost and is suitable for broad deployment MEDIUM_OVERHEAD Provides a balance, capturing additional diagnostic data with moderate impact HIGH_OVERHEAD Collects the most detailed GPU and driver state available, enabling deeper investigation at the cost of higher runtime overhead In terms of availability, the company expects broader release to be around the fall of 2026, which should be right around the time when Windows 11 version 26H2 lands. Right now, DirectX Dump Files are available as a preview and currently, only AMD has the compatible AgilitySDK Developer Preview driver version 26.10.07.02. You can find the official announcement post here on Microsoft's website.

      And with SO much better perf than the laggy mess that is Files.
