  • They need to bring in the sword fight choreographer from the prequels. I’m not impressed with Dawsons lightsaber handling or really anyone besides Balans, but probably cause his was pretty simple. We are getting season 2 and a movie for thrawn. Season 2 was written before the strikes.

    I wasn’t super happy about the ending. Balan got robbed of any story, weird episode lengths, and fucking cliffhanger for 2-5 years. (I don’t mind a cliffhanger if it’s gonna be a year).

    Honestly just give us 10 episodes of hour each. Waited a long time for this show and feel pretty meh about it. Story overall was ok, but even the other galaxy was like eh ok here’s a planet with Father and Son missing the daughter and Moraai. I’m being cynicle cause I expected more.

    And! I’ll add! Stop with this introducing a character, give us a big build up of them and then don’t do anything. This happened with Cary Fisher in the sequels bringing her back and now Ray Stevens, and others who get introduced and then nothing but tidbits. Just fucking finish a story arc of a character. No one’s story was resolved this season besides Ezra and Thrawn and even then it was hey we found him now he’s home. The entire Hera trial was a waste, Jacen hearing the force did nothing besides confirm what we all already knew, Shin having 0 backstory and then told to fuck off. Like just finish a fucking story if you know the next season or movie is 2-3 years out.

    Again sorry for the rant, just passionate about Ashoka and Filoni story telling and feeling like Disney is just playing with it.









  • I get that but how’s that a monopoly? They own the market share cause of the product and performance of said product. They aren’t buying companies to boost their share, they failed the arm deal, and from what I’ve read aren’t keeping companies tied to their product. Chatgpt, Microsoft and others can use other hardware. When we look at other monopoly cases it’s due to a forced take over if the market like Microsoft or the current Amazon case. I’m not defending Nvidia outright, but I’m not seeing how a company who produces a better product is at fault of a monopoly.

    iOS has almost 60% market share, are they a monopoly cause people choose them as well?



  • Thank Christ they aren’t sold here in the states. Can you imagine a Chinese owned tech in your pocket or in a form of an app used by millions? Oh god even worse, a US owned app or device in your pocket or a device listening to you in your home… /s

    The least surprising thing about this news is that they announced they are in Afghanistan with decent enough service with all those mountain ranges. Why is this news?

    Sorry not be a cynical duck about this news, but we have zero day chip incidents from China, known spyware being masked as social media, doesn’t matter where it comes from most if not all spy on you. And most companies admit it


  • This is weird. I’m all for anti-monopoly policies and court action, but this doesn’t make sense. Did Nvidia buy out smaller graphic companies? I may be ignorant but the only ones I know is AMD and ATI who merged, and now intel is making their own. I guess I don’t see how Nvidia is a monopoly

    E: I made this comment and the rest in the chain after a night of drinking high octane beers for my birthday. I’m an idiot
