8pm (central) still Rappy? I swear I've asked it a million times but this time I'm actually going to write it down! Putting the fall schedule into my phone currently so I don't forget.

On another note, NBC really has me booked so far. Chuck (eventually), Law and Order:SVU, Heroes, and I'm going to start watching that new Community show with Joel McHale.

I am not sure on the time but I would imagine they won't change it.

Heroes and Sprint have partnered for several webseries since the NBC series began, but the connection between the main series and webseries will grow closer this year.

Heroes' new season begins with the next volume, "Redemption", and the introduction of a carnival that is the home to several major new super-powered characters. Meanwhile, the next ten-part webseries, launching September 28th, will focus on that carnival, with three characters from the series also playing a part in the webseries.

In addition, a new character introduced in the webseries will then appear on Heroes this season ? the daughter to carnival member Lydia (played by Dawn Olivieri). Like her mother, Lydia will have a power of her own.

Below is the full press release for the new webseries:

Well, now that Heroes is finally going to arrive, in just like 4 days, I think I'll rejoin this thread. I have kept away from a lot of the spoilers, but recently did a quick catch up. Season seemed to be crappy at first, but the more i've seen, the more I'm looking forward to it. Lets hope this is a good refreshing beginning.

Any news as to whether this will be the last season or is there a chance we get another if this season somehow rockets up?

    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance

    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
