Those of you who like spotting little trivia things in movies/TV shows would appreciate this...

See the name circled in red? It's in Russian and translates into "Bad Robot", which happens to be JJ Abrams (aka creator of this series) production company and one that makes this show. You're welcome.

I'm kind of neutral on this show and putting it on hold to see how the rest of the season pans out before deciding whether to continue or not.. I'm all for the show coming out JJ Abrams production company, but this is sort of following along the path of Burn Notice with the whole case by case plot and characters with hidden pasts where they reveal bits a pieces until they finally tell us who is after them. The plot has excitement and action, but that excitement does not engage me as the viewer.

Those of you who are enjoying it, I hope the show keeps going to your liking.

lost reference as well!

OMG Rappy, you caught it too ! :D I'm on episode 8 now and I've already spotted 3 LOST references : the Virgin Mary (2 times in different episodes) and of course Ben's List (seriously, just hearing Michael Emerson in the first episode saying "I have a list" gave me goosebumps). Now, the show's backbone is great, but I felt the acting was really lacking. Mind you, Emerson and Caviezel deliver a great performance, but Carver ... meh. That Keyser S?ze guy ... wasn't convincing AT ALL. Felt completely out of place. Fusco is so-so.

Still, it's a great show that I'll be watching. The idea is totally awesome, especially the fact that you never know if the person of interest is going to be a bad guy or just a victim. I just hope they cast better actors for the secondary roles, like they did with Linda Cardellini :wub:

Is this show any good? Is it worth starting to watch? The viewership ratings don't seem to be all that good.

I think it's definitely worth watching. You may or may not like it but you won't know for sure until you do. I've seen every episode so far and I think it's a great show.

i think 23 was the finale as everyone talks about it like if it was the last episode

but at the end of the episode, i head finch say "stay stuned for scenes from our next episode"

yea, saw that too, but kinda find any reference to the next episode, and that felt like a season final.

also this happened in another show recently, right at the end it said stay stuned for scenes from our next episode....can't remember which one it was though.

    • 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?

    • This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time

      By Malisk · Posted

      I have this one and it's great, also paired with a Mac. I like the white back aesthetics of it and ability to have all your wireless usb peripherals under a clean lid. 4K @ 120 Hz and 65W usb-c charging is not bad even at its typical price point. The U series is probably better for commercial photo work though; IIRC one reason this one is priced in a different bracket is because it's not calibrated and verified for optimal color accuracy. Not something I think of in daily use, coding, and light gaming though.
