  1. "The Fall Guy" is already out as a premium rental in the US. UK release looks likely to be at the end of June. No wonder people aren't going to the cinema!
  2. Any mods about? We probably need this thread merged with this one: /forums/internet-related-filtering-firewall/238187-search-engine-armageddon.html#post2038903 Or vice-versa.
  3. DuckDuckGo doesn't seem to be working worldwide atm, along with a few other engines. Google seems unaffected.
  4. Not sure I'd want to eat it after all that, though.
  5. Actual "work" query: Can you RDP into a Windows machine/server from a Chromebook?
  6. But not cheap for TBs of media (on a personal account).
  7. While I guess the answer to most of my questions will be "use the web version", here are my first load: Firefox, because the thought of finding and setting up Chrome versions of my extensions gives me a headache, with different profiles preferably TVRename, which seems to be a exe only, unless there is something similar that wouldn't be too difficult to switch to Phone Link/Link to Windows (saves my eyes) 7zip A way to sync folders with a Windows PC A way to backup folders to an external drive Presumably WhatsApp, Outlook Mail, Outlook Calendar, MS To Do, Discord, Zoho Assist, Plex client and the various streaming solutions (Disney, Netflix, Apple, Amazon etc) are "use the web version" solutions I'm sure I'll have more when I sit in front of my home PC (probably tomorrow night; cinema tonight).
  8. Find your backup?
  9. Surprised by the lack of Sandman love, but then I started reading it with Issue #1. Hoping that, if they do "specials" as part of S2 they do what should be the next two. I suspect that the "A Midsummer Night's Dream" would be animated for budgetary reasons (though would love a live-action version). As they did the possibly more contentious "Calliope", I also hope they won't skip "Facade" which has come in for a lot of criticism of late.
  10. Finished Season 2 of The Lazarus Project. The season gets even more brain bending because, as well as the PL loops, we now have actual time travel mixed into the equation. It soon gets quite hard to keep track of who is on what timeline, but it remains consistently engaging and adds some nice humour such as George using the loops like replays in a game to learn his opponent's moves, George and Sara using time travel to find out whether they should be together and a great bit where Sam Troughton (Patrick's grandson), as a meek scientist, steps up to the plate. It's not perfect, the budget shows in some dodgy back projection and a somewhat poor armed battle towards the end, but well worth a look. Warning 1: Ep 6 ends on a "What the heck is going to happen?" cliffhanger then episode 7 explains how they got there so you might end up watching the final 3 eps in one sitting. Warning 2: There is a similar ending to the final ep, which will never be resolved due to cancellation, but it is quite a good place to leave it. Warning 3: Post credits sequence in the final ep kinda explains one thing, but will probably give you more questions.
  11. I'm pretty sure that the GoT end was what GRRM was leading up to, though. Now he has even less incentive to knuckle down to writing as lots of people were very vocal about their dislike of it.
  12. Good news: Season 2 confirmed. Bad news: It sounds like they'll be milking it as they're "not sure how long it will take to reach the conclusion".
  13. That's kinda what I thought it would be like. The sort of thing that back in the days of only 3/4/5 channels, would have been something I'd have watched, but there's so much to choose from now that there's not enough time for it all.
  14. Any good? It wasn't particularly interested from the trailer but then I read about people being inflamed by its "woke" agenda, which intrigued me. Is it "woke" because it has loads of those Chinese lot on a plane to China?
  15. Been looking at tidying up my keys and came across this product. I'm going to have to get it - just look at how happy it makes people!
  16. I don't think whoever cut the trailer is either, as they seem to be hiding the fact that this is a musical. Second trailer looks better, but I find the songs too strident, so probably a home release for me. plus it's only "Part One".
  17. It's a 4 hour drive to the property, so I won't be on site! Both my parents had mental health issues for some time before they passed and I was in charge of trying to make their finances balance (not easy due to care costs, even though they initially had more in the bank than I have ever had and their pensions saw more coming in than I have now) and, for various reasons, it's taken a couple of years to get to this stage. It's been like living under the Sword of Damocles for years and I just want it all over with. The garden chap used to work for the estate agent, so he should know what to do to make it desirable. I'm not expecting it to look like Capability Brown has risen from his grave to manage the project! Thanks for the advice, everyone.
  18. Started Dead Boy Detectives on Netflix. Based on a Neil Gaiman comic series and Sandman-adjacent it's a bit like a better version of Lockwood & Co. Unfortunately, by the time we get to start it as "Bonus" Daughter #1 has actually decided to join us for it and spends ages before she actually sits down, Mme LeMarchand is already 1/2 asleep and slept through most of the 2 eps we have seen (I drifted off a couple of times, too but this isn't a reflection on the quality of the show). Not a patch on Sandman, but OK so far.
  19. So no to Rotavator. Might also need some fencing sorted. Thanks for the confirmation.
  20. These photos are from Feb, so +3 months growth.
  21. Super Gran actor Gudrun Ure has passed away aged 98.
  22. Should be legit as the same firm has been recommended through two different routes. Thanks for the advice. Lucky I've been saving!
  23. Not sure about tree felling. Probably not in price, though probably ought to be done. Access not great, though apparently a neighbour is willing to allow access from their property.
  24. Bit of a long shot, but does anyone know how much it would cost to get a medium sized garden that looks like the surrounds to Sleeping Beauty's castle cleared? Got a quote for £1650 and was wondering how reasonable that is. Car left in for scale.
  25. I've posted this on here before, but the LA bought podcasting software licenses for all schools many years ago (back when it was going to be huge for the second or third time but never took off). Teachers all went off to learn the principles. but were trained on Audacity. As a consequence I had to install Audacity and the paid-for software never got used. To be fair, the TA who needed the video-editing software quickly got to grips with ShotCut.
