    It’s no masterpiece but I’m enjoying it ok. I would have preferred a more interesting plot with multiple threads that come together rather than the simplistic “escape of the week” format but it’s good fun nonetheless. I don’t really care what he did. I think that’s a MacGuffin. But if it is revealed I bet he did nothing and she is actually the one on the run and he is just supporting her. That would be a cool twist (although if it turns out to be true it will be one I saw coming from a mile away… since the first episode). I just suspect that because she seems much more street smart and is good with a gun (like when she was shooting out the tires). It just seems like she’s the real “bad ass” and he’s more of a thinker.
    Yeah, that option has been in the back of my mind since the beginning, too. She’s definitely the badass of the group. 
    She all but confirmed it in the last episode. So SHE is the one on the run and she just wants it to be over / turn herself in but he’s too damn stubborn about always trying to “fix” the problem.

  • 'Greyhound' audio crew explain how it sound-mixed the Apple TV+ drama

    I turned it off after 20 minutes. The whole “movie” seemed to be nothing more than a bunch of screaming and an endless aural assault. Making me jump out of my chair every two minutes and constantly having to turn the volume down, then back up, then back down, then up, then down, up, down, up, down (even with compression enabled) is not my idea of fun.

  • Portless 'iPhone 13' could restore iOS without needing a cable

    Please don’t do this Apple. Not in 2021. Not ever. I’m a figure skater and I can tell you… every single skater physically plugs their phone into some kind of ancient skating rink sound system. These systems do not have Bluetooth and likely never will. Not anytime soon. Or ever. And every rink is different. Sometimes you’re plugging into a car stereo in a homemade box. Sometimes you’re plugging directly into a PA with a 3 pin microphone cord. Sometimes you’re plugging into a rack of stereo gear. Sometimes it’s literally just some homemade plywood box with knobs and ports soldered into a PA from the 1970s. Never have I ever seen a rink with Bluetooth capabilities. Ever. Not even at National Training Centres where Olympic and World skaters train. If you think cars are behind in terms of their sound systems, you haven’t seen anything until you’ve see whatever some Centennial rink from the ‘60s has rigged up.

    Facebook needs to be replaced. I haven't figured out how to block the spam. There are very few of the posts I receive that I want to receive. It's awful. Almost everything that i see is clickbait,  and fake. 

    Solution: Stop using Facebook. It's really quite easy.
    Or delete it completely. I deleted my Facebook a year ago. Don't miss it at all.
