    Luke is safe amongst the New Republic. But as that rebel pilot noted is Chapter 12 (last week's episode), the New Republic is still not fully aware of what is happening outside the core worlds. They're still blind out in the farther reaches of the galaxy.

    As far as they were concerned, they were the only 2 Jedi left. Obi-wan and Yoda knew there were others but searching for them would be foolish and dangerous. Better for them to all go underground. Don't search for each other. It's been much more imaginative than the entire sequel trilogy for sure. Best not to think of the sequel trilogy. I'm sure Faveru and Filoni aren't.

    Unfortunately, that was 27 years ago. Younger parts are well out of his scope now.

    While I should transition my SSDs to all NVMe (already using NVMe for boot) I’m debating holding off switching until I move to Ryzen. SSDs for my NAS is still a little out of my price range for TB/$$$.

    Lots of SSDs, flash drives or other solid-state media on sale this Black Friday...

    Speaking of Wookiepedia... https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Jeans_Guy (I know, it's deleted, but still.. )

    Yeh, I don't mind it when the voice actor actually plays their character in live-action, assuming they look the part or can be made to look like it that is (in this particular case, yes this person does).

    Filler episode.

    Feels like an evolution of the Sv-262.

    iPadOS should be fine since Safari acts like the desktop version. It's on iOS where the problem comes up. And with no BBCode support, options are limited for mobile phone users.

    Our spoiler policy for TV shows is 48 hours after original air date. One could consider this show a TV show, but obviously it’s not. The problem with streaming shows is the release schedule (Netflix-all-at-once vs weekly release) and the “watch-when-you-want” viewing habits of streaming. 48-hours after release date is fine for weekly shows, but for binge shows, I’d probably say 1-2 weeks after release. But that’s under ideal conditions.

    Now for a timeout.

    It was a OK season premiere. It felt like we're moving a B-storyline then the main storyline.

    RTX 3070 reviews are showing up and Founder's Ed cards are now on sale. Yeah, it holds up to Nvidia's claims, for the most part. Now for the other question...can anyone get a card. Given the 3rd party card fiasco, I'll wait till things are settled before grabbing one.

    In my travels with a laptop, lightweight is definitely preferable. I don't normally game while traveling so a dedicated GPU is not on my radar. I use a 13" Macbook Pro for home and as backup to my desktop (It's basically a desktop lite). For my work laptop, I use a Macbook Air. That being said, get a Ryzen laptop, if you can find a good one. Performance-wise, it's a better value right now.

    Not sure about the older generations. Haswell-4th gen (4000-series) was probably the pinnacle back in 2013. My ITX box still uses a Haswell chip. 6th-gen Skylake chips was likely the next jump, but that's also where Intel goofed and started trending down. 2018 was where people were saying about Intel, "WTF". Intel, traditionally, overclocks well but that's all they had going for them after Skylake. When I last upgraded, I had the option to do 8th or 9th gen Coffee Lake. At the time, the difference between the 2 generations was negligible so I opted for 8th-generation.

    So...3080 launch was a launch-crash-then-burn. Nvidia is using higher-end capacitors while some board-partners are using cheaper ones that are causing crash-to-desktop when the GPU reaches >2.0Ghz speeds. And the 3090...falling into the "not-really-worth-the-price-tag-unless-you-really-need-it"-category. I'm moving to "cautiously-optimistic" on that 3070 release in a couple of weeks.
