Hmm.. I don't have a cable and download everything in SD due to ###### internet bandwidth restrictions.. so the quality is spot on for what I normally watch.

Also.  checking out the first episode (on my pc) it is nice and clear.  Can see everything that is happening, no artifacts, no lag.  Nice crisp clean video.

Downloaded them, watched the first 10 minutes, and stopped and deleted them. 

Quality is subpar (looks like a 360p rip) and although clear, took away from the experience immensely. 

100% would recommend NOT downloading these. As commented earlier it doesnt do the show justice.

For those without cable or low internet caps... I would 100% recommend downloading them.  Good quality, clear audio.. I see nothing wrong with them.

it is very noticeable for the first 10-15 minutes for me (since i watch stuff at 720p normally as 1080p is too large)

but then you get used it, and it becomes fine to watch.  depends on how picky you are.    just sit further from the screen, and it is not as noticeable.

 

still, i highly recommend watching in HD !  since, while the main characters show fine,  the magnificent background views are really watched out.

Watched the 4 leaked episodes. I'm usually very anal about quality but the SD rip was perfectly watchable. It's not like your missing anything plot wise, just the quality of the picture.

Then again, I'll be re-watching them all in 1080p once they're out. Awesome 4 episodes! Really good so far.

Found the premiere rather lame to be honest, with corny scenes like Sansa passing by Brienne and the bedroom scene between Daario and Dany which had porn level dialogue quality (to mention a few).

 

You should watch listen to porn dialoge more often. You would get a better perspective on how much, MUCH, MUCH better the writing on "Game of Thrones" is. :)

very true.   there is only a handful of movies with dialog that can actually be used in real life.    

Talk Dirty to Me from 1980 is one such movie.  in case you are interested ;)

it is funny and it is corny, but if you can pull it of confidently it actually works on women.

premier episodes are almost always lame or boring, it's all setting up the storyline. Episode 2 is much better

With the show runners going off the rails, I'm sure the show will provide plenty of that:

 

"- That's why I have the Unsullied patrolling the streets.

- Anyone with a chest full of gold can buy an army of Unsullied. You're not the Mother of Unsullied. You're the Mother of Dragons."

 

And how about Mance's O faces.

the 4 episodes did not catch me. my fault or does the season start a little lame?

 

i really enjoyed them.  while parts were slow, overall tone was just what i expected and wanted.

did you enjoy previous season?

if could be your mood, and the fact that you binged them in low quality too.

 

 

some parts this episodes, i had to rewind and watch a couple more times, that how awesome they were.  and those parts are enough to keep watching the rest of slow bits.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.

      Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds by Taras Buria Today's Experimental builds (26H1 and Future Platforms, formerly Canary) pack several audio-related improvements. If your device is enrolled in the Experimental Channel (26H1), you can download build 28120.2315, while those in the Future Platforms version have build 29613.1000 to try. Here is what is new in build 29613.1000: [Audio] Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sounds based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so: You now have the ability to change default devices from this page. Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices. We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page. We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it. And here is the changelog for build 28120.2315: This update includes a small number of minor bug fixes and improvements. [Accessibility] This update improves caption style responsiveness by redrawing captions immediately for caption style changes. If no current caption is visible, a sample caption string is displayed. [Audio] This update improves the reliability of the inbox HD Audio driver. You can find the official release notes for build 28120.2315 here and for build 29613.1000 here.
