Hell hath no fury like Jack Bauer scorned.

I gotta say, watching him dismantle that Russian sniper was quite satisfying. I would've expected Jack to light his hair or clothes on fire first with the blowtorch, but that would probably be too gnarly for TV :p

Can't wait for next week! I truly hope Jack does his absolute worst (or best) with the destruction of Logan. That slimy turd has had this coming for a long time, and it will be so deeply satisfying to watch him go down in flames.

omg they saved every good bit to the last episodes! these episodes have been so good!

feels so good to watch jack get the bad guys one by one..slowly and painfully!

I know how you feel. The show kicked it in to high gear the episode before the 2 hour special where Hassan died and has never looked back. What a great way for the series to go out. I was so disappointed with the first 14-15 episodes and then it got it's Bauer back. I'm so happy I am actually looking forward to the next episode instead of catching it when I get the chance.

I'm also happy it's ending. It's been a great ride but they have proved they can't keep this intensity up all the time. So lets go out with a bang and all of us cheering for Bauer. And that looks exactly like what we are going to get.

"Jack Bauer just kidnapped Logan."

I just added the spoiler tag, it wasn't on there before.

Spoiler tag much?

Some people don't like to watch the previews before hand because they spoil too just like you just did.

Last few episodes have been great. Definitely making up for the weak start to the season. And surprisingly enough, they haven't tried to pull twist after twist out of their asses like they did for Season 7. **** that was annoying. Jack stabbing the guy and ripping out the SIM instead of forcing him to throw up, classic. Can't wait to see him reunite with Logan, that'll be an epic scene. Like Osiris said, I hope he gets whats long overdue for him and Talyor gets impeached for being such a gullible idiot.

Ohhhh man. At least we can finally stop saying that this season was just like the rest. When he got the russian sniper, I said to myself that it'd be quite something if we saw him get tortured. And then it happens. And we all got to see it on TV.

Was that quality television or what?

Jack. Unplugged.

LOVE IT!!

making Daina the mole inside CTU pretty much qualifies as "Pulling it out their ass"

Touche, but in their defence the stuck with it after it happened. Whereas in Season 7, was Tony, dead? alive, bad? good, bad again, good again, now bad? no good! One terrorist, backed by another, backed by evil corporations. It was really annoying.

I've got nothing to say to that but this, my favorite Tony story:

In its earliest incarnation, the character was named Andrew Geller and was intended to be solely an analyst. The character evolved over time during conversations between Bernard and the producers. [1] According to an interview on the Sharon Osbourne show, Tony was then going to be named Antonio and nicknamed "Tonio". His name was changed when Kiefer Sutherland had difficulty saying it. Carlos Bernard said he was delighted that the name was changed. Bernard once joked in another interview saying Tonio is the name of a guy who gets killed in the first hour.

Also: Tony is alive. Still.

Oh, and the 24 body count up to this point is no less than 13,620.

It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USBs from ISOs. A non-exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is available here. It can be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.) you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS you want to run a low-level utility Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta changelog: Improve the guards for using the "silent" option Improve the ability to cancel during write retries Fix unrestricted XML entity expansion and integer overflow in ezxml parser (courtesy of @esadowski4) [GHSA-55r2-34wg-8mv9] Fix "silent" Windows installation failing at 75% in most cases [#2960] Fix a crash during boot when using UEFI:NTFS on Snapdragon X based ARM64 platforms [#2934] Fix the first WUE option always being checked by default [#2965] Fix an infinite loop when using Windows ISOs that contain multiple WIMs Fix "Enable runtime UEFI media validation" checkbox not always being properly enabled Other WUE improvements/fixes for OneDrive removal and username validation (with thanks to @christian8641) [#2984, #2991] Download: Rufus 4.15 Beta | 1.9 MB (Open Source) Links: Rufus Home Page | Project Page @GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.3 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes. As the continuation of the original Media Player Classic, MPC-HC isn’t flashy but it works with nearly any media format. MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction. Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later Options > Player > History You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel. You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown. You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player.

Several YDL configuration options are found here: Options > Advanced This includes an option to specify the location of the .exe in case you don't want to put it in MPC-HC folder. Play HDR video This requires using madVR or MPC Video Renderer. After installation these renderers can be selected here: Options > Playback > Output Ability to search for and download subtitles, either automatically or manually (press D): Options > Subtitles > Misc Besides all these (new) features, there have also been many bugfixes and internal improvements in the player in the past years that give better performance and stability.

    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account by Usama Jawad As things currently stand, Microsoft Edge only allows you to sign in to the browser with a Microsoft Account (MSA). This allows you to sync your browser settings and other data across other devices, as long as you sign in with the same account. However, Microsoft is now modifying this mechanism in a way that will likely please many users. In an update to its Microsoft 365 Roadmap, Microsoft has indicated that it will soon let users sign into Edge using a Google account from the profile menu and the Edge sign-in screen. This will be in addition to the MSA login option, and it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account. This brings several advantages such as the ability to sync your data across devices using just a Google account. It may even facilitate flexible single sign-on (SSO) experiences where you can quickly login to websites and services through a single Google account that is presented as the preferred sign-in option. Up until now, Microsoft allowed customers to indirectly use a Google account, by configuring a Google account as a Microsoft account, or by setting up a one-way sync option between Edge and Chrome. This is a rather interesting development, especially considering that Google Chrome still limits you to a Google account sign-in, but it will be interesting to see if the company reciprocates Microsoft's gesture in the future. This is not the only recent instance in which Microsoft has extended a handshake to Google via Edge. In April 2026, it began tracking the development of a work search banner for Google Search queries, just like the one present in Edge. However, if we go back almost seven years, to January 2020, Microsoft had emphasized that it had no plans to "integrate Google services into Microsoft Edge by default", in response to people requesting Google sign-in services on Edge. Fast-forward to today, and Microsoft is planning to release this feature in July 2026, with IT admins having the option to control its availability on Windows and macOS through the NonMicrosoftAccountSignInEnabled policy.
