I just finished The Lost Symbol - Dan Brown.

9/10 A very entertaining read, I preferred Angels & Demons, though.

And I'm just about to start The Partner by John Grisham. Read the book years ago and thought I would read it again.

I am currently reading Emperor: The Field of Swords by Conn Iggulden.

It is book 3 of 4 and the versions I have;

Emperor: The Gates of Rome (Softcover - 1st ed.)

Emperor: The Death of Kings (Softcover - 1st ed.)

Emperor: The Field of Swords (Softcover - 1st ed.)

The second edition is actually sold as a combo of all the books and has crappier coverart.

To revive this thread...

After I finished all the currently available Dexter books, I moved onto the Sherlock Holmes novels/stories. I've read all of them and thoroughly enjoyed them.

I just recently finished the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series (well, I haven't read the 5th, but I'm afraid to do so with so many people saying it's a complete disappointment).

Today I started reading The Hobbit and I plan to read the entire LoTR series. I'm only 14% into the book but I really like it so far.

Keep this thread alive!

EDIT: After some thought, I've decided this thread makes more sense in the Hobby Corner. However, if it seems like the majority think it should go back in the Media Room, then I'll gladly move it back. We'll see how it goes.

I'm currently reading the transcripts of the Mystery Babylon series by William Cooper. It's not a book exactly, but close enough IMO. It was a 42 episode radio broadcast that goes over the coming nwo and specifically the believes of the people that are working toward the nwo. It aired in '93 and to this day it is still the definitive source for information on the "mystery religion". I've already listened to the audio, but reading the transcript is giving me a way better understanding than just listening to the audio. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in finding the truth about the illuminati and freemasons. William Cooper predicted 9/11 months in advance and was murdered a couple months after 9/11. Coincidence?

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.

      with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
