Yeah, if the ratings stay around or below 3 million, don't expect a 5th season guys. I don't think FOX will extend it again with those numbers being so low at this point. Which is sad, since this is one of the few shows that is actually deep and interesting and doesn't provide "stupid" entertainment as I like to call it these days.

Fringe?s numbers, lastly, live in two worlds: Returning to 3.53 million total viewers and a 1.5 demo rating, there is one universe where the show was down 30 percent from its year-ago premiere. Yet in another universe, those numbers represent increases of 7 and 25 percent from where it left off with its May finale.

Hasn't Fox stated that Fringe is big in the DVR ratings?

I personally think this is the last season for the show anyway, I read somewhere that the series finale has already been written.

I'd rather they end it on a good note with a satisfying ending anyway.

I like the episode but I found some parts a bit confusing. It seemed as though

Fringe division didn't exist anymore in the main universe. About halfway through the episode, Olivia explains to Lee why they can't return the bodies of Fringe-related victims. She said that they'd have to file official documentation which would draw the attention of Fringe division. At first, it seemed as though she was referring to just one Fringe division: the one from the other side.

She means that the document filing would draw attention to the fringe division. The public does not know the fringe division even exists.

Fringe star Anna Torv has supported the notion that the show should end after five years.

Torv's co-star John Noble recently admitted that he expects the Fox sci-fi drama to conclude after a fifth season.

"People have been quoting [series co-creator] JJ [Abrams] for a while saying [that] four or five years is kind of enough," Torv told the Coventry Telegraph. "I tend to agree with him."

The actress added that she has no desire to "run [the series] into the ground".

"If you're doing a straight-up procedural series, I think you can go on, because you've got so many stand-alone episodes," she explained. "Whereas with our show it certainly feels like it's picked up the pace as well."

Torv also admitted that she is uncertain about the likelihood of a Fringe spinoff film, suggesting that the show would not work on the big screen.

"I feel like it's so intricate, it feels like an epic story now," she said. "I don't think it would be a very good film."

There's no reason to draw this type of show out, really we just need to work out this bit with Peter and then it should be over. I honestly don't see why they should do more once the problems with the other side are worked out and the holes are closed/fixed. All of which can happen in this season.

There's a lot more to the show than the other side. They could explain things like who the observers are and why fringe events are occurring. I think the show could continue for at least another season.

Some things are better left unexplained, the observers are one of those things that will probably never be fully explained, and there's no real reason to do so either. Fringe events are going on because of Walter ripping holes to the other side and other experiments he and Bell did in the past, that's all pretty clear right now, I don't see what more we need to know exactly.

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.

      Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

      This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
