  • Breaking Bad started fairly quickly, getting to the point of the show basically all within the span of the first episode. But the context is a bit different. Breaking Bad’s pilot was filmed to be shopped around, and so was meant to basically tell a complete enough story to encapsulate the entire premise.

    Pluribus is a show that was picked up just from the reputation of its creator. Apple TV greenlit multiple seasons before filming had even begun, the premise was kept secret all the way up to the premiere of the first episode, and so it has the liberty of being able to take its time getting to the point.

    Better Call Saul, on the other hand, was similarly slow at first. And they spent way too much time in the first season trying to fit in as many Breaking Bad callbacks as they could before it really started going anywhere. But it was excellent when it came into its own.




  • Getting help with Windows now: support forums owned by Microsoft filled with users telling they have the same issue, and AI agents hallucinating solutions.

    I feel this to my core.

    My work PC uses Windows, and sometimes I have to Google something that is acting up, which takes me to these sorts of threads. It’s always:

    OP: I’m having trouble with this app, it doesn’t recognize my default audio device. I’ve tried X, Y, and Z, which did not work.

    Jimothy, Certified Windows Expert: Greetings, OP! My name is Jimothy, a Certified Windows Expert and fellow Windows enthusiast! I am sorry to hear about the issues you’ve been having. But don’t worry, I am here to assist. 3 paragraphs later You should try going to the user settings and make sure that “Use default audio device” is checked on. Did this fix your issue?

    OP: I don’t see any setting labeled “Use default audio device.”

    15 posts follow from other users who are experiencing the same issue, also confirming there is no such setting.

    Jimothy, Certified Windows Expert: Greetings again, OP! I am sorry to hear that did not answer your question. According to the app specifications, use of the default audio device is not a supported feature at this time. If you would like to make a suggestion to include this feature in a future release, you may submit a request through the Microsoft Feedback Portal. I will now close this topic to further replies. Thank you!
