I've not seen it yet, we're going to watch it tonight. If it goes the way I think it will go however, I don't think I'll like it...

These videos are always excellent!

We do this for general announcements (e.g. buses are ready for boarding, etc.) - works really well.

Yep, that's what we do (the 3 yr).

I completely agree about password fatigue - the 'best' (least worst?) solution IMO is SSO with MFA.

I would never recommend using consumer grade kit for something safety-critical.

Agreed - SSO to sensitive systems with good MFA (i.e. no SMS codes) is fine, but otherwise I'd steer clear.

The more I think about this, the more like total carp it seems. They can have people riding dragons, but hugging a large wolf is "ooohhhh no we don't have the budget".

Ooh - interesting. I'd like to see any of these too!

I'm guessing they only noticed this after release, given that the update's been pulled.

Dunno, will test it today

I can understand adapting her out (only so many hours to play with), but in favour of the rubbish Sand Snakes? And yeah, the whole crypts thing was stupid on so many levels. How could the wights break out of those sarcophagi? Would've been better to just have them rattling inside - much creepier.

Yep. Plot-driven writing is fine, but they've clearly got an endpoint in mind and are shoving things into molds in order to reach it quickly. I think that's got less to do with overtaking the books (GRRM is still involved), and more to do with trying to wrap up a very complex story in a nice "TV friendly" ending. They've had trouble with adapting things too (picking the 'wrong' storylines for instance - Dorne vs Lady Stoneheart).

I'm guessing they blew the CGI budget on the Battle of Winterfell (which was, let's be honest, spectacular). That said, a few extra grand for a proper goodbye scene couldn't have been that hard to find for an org like HBO surely?!

Would've been cool if Qyburn had "enhanced" the construction crews with some of that mad science to explain that...

Glad it can still help even after all this time

Script it! Write a batch or PowerShell script to copy the files and update the INI. Set it to run at startup (or use psexec/Impero/whatever to run it on a bunch of machines at once) and off you go.

I'm intrigued - what's wrong with them?

I want this. I need this. BRB deploying build 19-'whatever will get me this' to my PC. EDIT: Turns out you don't need to, you can just grab it from GitHub.

I think Euron's fleet was a complete surprise on its own, let alone that Qyburn had outfitted them with massive anti-dragon ballistae. Dany and co didn't even know to expect them, poor Rhaegal was caught completely off guard.

Wonder how many people will get that? Probably an order of magnitude more EduGeeks than the general population!

No idea about VDI hosts, but remember that you'll also need to host a SIMS server somewhere.

Personal taste issue, obviously, but I cannot stand Jim Carrey in most things. As for the CGI Sonic.... eeehhhhhhh *shudder*.

Well I learned something new today - I've seen a couple of headlines about "stans" or "stanning" and was thoroughly confused. Now I know - means "obsessive fan", as in the Eminem song.

Good points - so a good way to present it is a pros-cons sort of thing. Yes, there are some cons in terms of change, but the benefits outweigh those (presumably!).
