  1. It's back for a final, 3 part season.
  2. Not from what you saw Auggie attach. I would have thought that the filter would just get clogged fairly quickly. It is a bit of a nitpick, though.
  3. No personal experience, but Toob were recently in our area laying fibre. I saw one crew pulling fibre through from who know how far away - it looked like a tug of war against an invisible team.
  4. Humans making the game makes kinda sense, though I don't see how the Shan-Ti grasped the concept or (presumably) get it adapted for Tatiana at the end. I still think there would have been many different ways to take the ship, but that was an incredibly cool visual. The final conversation with Wade (with the scary body appearing next to him on the plane) suggests they can create hallucinations. If, say, Will was cured and the Wallfacer they could lock him in a wonderful life with Jin that he'd die a happy man in. I get the space elevator idea (read "The Fountains of Paradise" many years ago) so I understand why the Shan-Ti would want the project halted. Still can't grasp how the fibres work as filters. I very much appreciate the spoiler-free answers! Fingers crossed they get to finish the series.
  5. Finished 3 Body Problem. Well worth a look, though I have some questions: /forums/tv-movies/233433-3-body-problem.html#post2000545
  6. Well, it lived up to my expectations. Hope they get to finish the trilogy and that it answers some of my questions. Anyway, SPOILERS FOR THE SHOW and possibly the books. General grumbles out of the way first, the main one being why did D & D feel they had to use lots of mainly attractive female nudity in the "rehydration" scene? We saw that at least one character was (thank goodness!) rehydrated wearing clothes, so why not all/most of them? Similarly, Eiza Gonzalez is gorgeous, but why was she prancing around in what looked like a freezing cold house in very little clothing? Do such "beach houses" even exist in the UK? On to more serious questions: If the Shan-Ti don't understand stories/can't lie, how did they produce a computer game? I have a suspicion this might be answered later, though. They can't risk various conventional ways to take the "Judgement Day" due to potential casualties/damage to the data, but Chekov's nano-cheesewire slicing the ship into ribbons is much safer? If the Shan-Ti can totally mess with people's heads, can't they just drive the Wallfacers mad? Or the whole world, for that matter. Not entirely sure how Auggie's nan-filaments have filter uses. I'm hoping against hope that poor Will (or his brain) gets a happier ending.
  7. A BMW with such an exhaust roared past me the other day. Plate ended in PRX.
  8. I've been deploying W11 via MDT without making any changes to the W10 process beyond the different WIM. But I input the name/domain etc manually and just install the OS; everything else is installed via GPO.
  9. Bit of a long shot, as I think it would also affect the way you have it working, but have you got these 2 GPOs set? I haven't had to do a Bitlocker setup for years as it happens as part of our "new machine" config.
  10. Just a normal day for me.
  11. Not at my "Google" school today, but I have Google Drive on my machine and have not noticed any problems. The file you mention is present, and contains the following list. C:\Program Files\Google\Drive File Stream\50.0.11.0\crashpad_handler.exe C:\Program Files\Google\Drive File Stream\50.0.11.0\drivefsext.dll C:\Program Files\Google\Drive File Stream\50.0.11.0 C:\Program Files\Google\Drive File Stream\72.0.3.0\crashpad_handler.exe C:\Program Files\Google\Drive File Stream\72.0.3.0\drivefsext.dll C:\Program Files\Google\Drive File Stream\72.0.3.0 C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\googledrivefs31092.sys C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\googledrivefs31092.sys C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\googledrivefs31092.sys C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\googledrivefs31092.sys C:\Program Files\Google\Drive File Stream\84.0.11.0\drivefsext.dll C:\Program Files\Google\Drive File Stream\84.0.11.0 C:\Program Files\Google\Drive File Stream\89.0.2.0\drivefsext.dll C:\Program Files\Google\Drive File Stream\89.0.2.0
  12. Anyone know how much https://www.intofilm.org/films costs?
  13. Strays (Netflix) Reggie, AKA , finds himself abandoned in the big city by his heartless owner, Doug, he his taken in by Bug and learns the ways of the street. When he finally realises that Doug's games of "Fetch and :censored:" were actually previous attempts to abandon him, he decides he will take his revenge on the thing that is most important to Doug. He and his friends will find Doug and Reggie will bite Doug's off. In case the above synopsis didn't warn you: TRAILER NSFW: COPIOUS SWEARING AND OTHER SITUATIONS If you don't mind crude/scatological humour and non-stop swearing, this is actually pretty funny. Not a must see, but if you have Netflix and a strong stomach and want an amusing 90 minutes it's worth a look. The trailer doesn't have all of the funniest bits, for a change.
  14. But if you live your life a quarter mile at a time, you gotta let people know that someone who drives FASTLY and FURIOUSLY is coming. P.S. I was expecting certain physical correlations, too.
  15. Best I can find is "soon" - if you have access to Paramount+.
  16. Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn! Or is it supposed to be an octopus?
  17. TMDb rarely gets near the top of search results so not sure why it's being flagged without actual visits. I have a vague memory of asking for it to be reclassified when we were on Smoothwall because it is "Adult Content" only in the same way as IMDb (which isn't similarly flagged) in that it lists "adult" films as well as "normal" ones. IMDb does this by default, but TMDb requires you to specify that you want to see such results in your account settings*. *Haven't signed into IMDb since they ditched the forums, so this may have changed.
  18. Have some Moody Blues on my Spotify list. Sad news.
  19. Finished Extraordinary Season 2. Nothing quite lives up to the S1 scene that earned Lord his name, though probably more consistently amusing as a season. Both seasons on Disney+ and S1 on ITVX. Worth a look, if only for the box of kittens in the last two eps of S2 and the above-mentioned scene. Needed a new 1/2 hour comedy, so gave Girls5Eva (Netflix) a go. A one-hit wonder girl group decide to reform 20 years later. Three episodes in and it's quite amusing, with some nice absurdist stuff like the invisible glass piano. Trailer a bit racy for work.
  20. If it wasn't for the complaints from staff because "Chrome is faster", I wouldn't bother at my "Windows" school. I'd still install it at my "Google" sites if only to avoid the "Why don't you use Chrome? It's soooo much better" nags when they use GMail and other Google services.
  21. We use Fortigate, but you may be able to implement something similar. We can use regular expressions to block and .*\bq=\b.* theoretically blocks any search for that term. We've found some engines don't comply, but the big boys do. Might be worth trying .*\bq=*\b.*
  22. No such niceties at our cinema (small, but expanding, chain)! They did try a bar, but that's now a rarely-staffed gelato stand. "Nye" has been and gone, so can't be sure how much they charged, but it seems to be £15 for the "event" screenings compared to £6.49 for "normal" movies. "Swan Lake" is on tonight and is pretty full (grey=booked). In comparison, "Dune 2" in the big screen (over double the size) only has a dozen seats booked.
  23. Our local cinema does pretty well with these and the Royal Ballet/Opera screenings. When we went to see the new Ghostbusters movie I think there were more people in whatever opera was playing that night.
