I then last night watched a movie called Michael with my wife.

It is an Austrian movie with subtitles, and it was getting comparisons to the movie Funny Games for being disturbing. So I rented it through the Apple store.

I think the trailer is the best way to show it.

Man, this movie is twisted. It is SUPER slow and deliberate, so if you do not like those types of movies, this is not for you. I felt sick to my stomach most of the movie, and that was in fact the point.

7/10

Believe it or not, the last one I watched, although not all of it, was yesterday, and it was the x rated Deep Throat, from 1972!! Didn't really watch it, but was showing my perverted brother how to convert files and burn them on a dvd.

Never had seen that movie, but do remember when it came out.

Trivia fact:

This was picked as one of 100 landmark films of all time in the new "Radio Times Guide to Films 2007", compiled by the magazine's film reviewers and staff. Radio Times' film editor Andrew Collins justified the choice by stating that the list is not about cinematic quality, but about the influence a film had on society. "'Deep Throat' is not necessarily recommended for everyone," Collins said, "It's a quite badly made film, but to deny its influence would be pure snobbery."

This weekend I have watched:

* Promethius

Dunno what to say that hasn't been said. It's either great and an intriguing part of the overall universe, or a mess that tries to cash in. I genuinely can't tell.

* Alien

I had torevisit this. Very glad I did. Seeing it in HD was worth it also.

* Chernobyl Diaries

I expected standard teen-horror fare. It surprised me.

Just finished watching four over the past two days in this order:

Angel Dog - (Good family movie if you have kids no swearing and easy to follow and predictable, but got it for my step daughter).

Sherlock Holmes (first one - saw it before but wanted to see it again)

The Darkest Hour (Movie seemed to have a good pace to it and never was boring for us)

Sherlock Holmes - A Game of Shadows (Love the humor and the music in both films, if you are into this version, a good watch for sure).

    • 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?
