Okay, but seriously — Wi-Fi 7 could be an even bigger…

Just watched Pantheon Season 2. Fans of Sci-Fi, please don’t sleep on this show. NO SPOILERS BELOW For a show that was cancelled just after completing the second season, they gave it a 10/10 ending and it’s criminal that this show had zero marketing or studio support. AMC somehow made a great show and managed to drop the ball, fucking it up in grand fashion with the Firefly treatment: No marketing, episodes launched and list…

Misuse of the term “lo-fi” is my biggest pet peeve in music Title says it all, this is going to annoy people I’m sure. I also have a genuine interest in how the meanings of words/phrases can evolve with time, but with this case I just crease on the inside every time I hear/see the word “lo-fi” because I know It’s not going to refer to garagey/rough recorded music. Thoughts? submitted by /u/Consist…

Apple’s sci-fi drama Invasion ramps up the tension in season 2 Image: AppleInvasion was a curious addition to the sci-fi TV landscape when it debuted in 2021. For much of its runtime, it barely felt like science fiction at all. We all knew something alien was happening — it’s right there in the show’s title, after all — but the story was much more focused on the human-level drama going down as the world ste…

What did you think of the sci-fi TV series called ‘Hard Sun’ from 2017? I thought it was instantly forgettable, and the 1st episode tested my patience a bit, and by the 2nd episode I gave up completely. Anyone else manage to enjoy it more than I did? submitted by /u/jkk454

Hopefully a quick re-fi question: should I bother cleaning up and making repairs before my scheduled re-fi home appraisal? I’ve got a cash-out re-fi pending right now, and I’m just about to schedule the appraisal. Unfortunately my house is a mess (not trashed, just cluttered) and my landscaping is torn apart because I’m in the slow process of replacing my front lawn with hardscape and planters/shrubs, so it looks horrible. I’ll certainly make everything accessible f…
