The mates and I had a Star Wars weekend, watching the 6 in order from first to last. It's been a blast,

For some reason, I just can't do this.

Yeah I'm one of "those" guys. I have to watch it in chronological order, I tried by order of episodes.

Just can't.

The Wraith - 1986

Early Charlie Sheen movie, Packard Walsh and his motorized gang control and terrorize an Arizona desert town where they force drivers to drag-race so they can 'win' their vehicles. After Walsh beats the decent teenager Jamie Hankins to death after finding him with his girlfriend, a mysterious power creates Jake Kesey, an extremely cool motor-biker who has a car which is invincible. Jake befriends Jamie's girlfriend Keri Johnson, takes Jamie's sweet brother Bill under his wing and manages what Sheriff Loomis couldn't; eliminate Packard's criminal gang the hard way...

It is on Hulu if you are curious

I just watched the "documentary" Terry.

Here is the promotional text for the movie taken from it's Facebook page..

In the summer of 2009, Charlie Ruez made a documentary...

6 months later the footage was seized for evidence by the Metropolitan Police Department...

In 2010.......The footage was released.

TERRY

Whatever Happens....Just Keep Filming...........

Cannot say I was a big fan. It is filmed incredibly realistically since it is a mockumentary, and if not for Google I do believe people would wonder if it was actually real. So as a result some of the scenes are quite disturbing, but after about 20 minutes you get the entire depth of the character Terry, so the rest of the movie really is just quite repetitive. And when a movie is only 1 hour and 20 minutes and it starts to feel to long, you know something went wrong on the cutting room floor. And honestly the overall ending was pretty corny. I really was hoping it took a completely different direction, however it did not. Had higher hopes for the movie based on the previews I had read. I would give it a...

2.5/5

What it actually reminded me of is a modern day version of what I feel is a truly brilliant movie, and that is the french movie Man Bites Dog.

If people are into the whole concept of the mockumentary, and also like truly disturbing films and incredibly dark, dark comedy, then I strongly recommend Man Bites Dog. It is honestly one of the first films I recall doing the mockumentary style, and it is really a truly dark, disturbing, yet amazing film. One of the all time classics in my opinion.

I see Jack Falls listed above, I will either be watching that tomorrow night or London Boulevard, have not fully decided yet.

If anyone here has seen London Boulevard and can provide some very quick feedback, like is it worth watching, it would be appreciated. My wife definitely prefers to watch it over Jack Falls just because there is also a love story element to London Boulevard that is evident thanks to the trailers.

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By carols23 · Posted

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

      Apparently not. I know it is on Edge for business at the moment, but how long will it be before it become on the home version of Edge?
