Link is dead for me?

Anyway

Right now Neowin is swamped, slow, and sometimes gives "Server too busy" messages. This started a couple of hours ago and I expect this to continue for as long as the datacenter (rackshack) allows it and eventually pulls the plug (routing to our server). This is caused by yet another DoS (Denial of Service) attack where a person is sending 1000's of packets to common ports on our server (in this case apache) The person doing this goes by the name of kidd0 who is 12 years old (yea I know) and can be found at the website www.<< spam >>. He was banned for breaking the rules some time ago and has since recruited another member from Neowin who relayed threats and admissions of previous DoS attacks for kidd0 until he was also banned from here. Additionally the site has also started to use newslogos from Neowin without permission or credit yet surprisingly they do source some of our news stories. I don't usually post information relating to these types of attacks but since they are happening too frequently lately with no end in sight and resulting in downtime of up to 48 hours for some visitors I felt it was only fair to tell everyone why they can't browse the site properly. kidd0 has made no secret and has admitted at a number of sites for being responsible for downtimes at Neowin and other sites. Its a shame that this kid has way too much power (controls some sort of zombie trojan on 1000's of infected PC's) and nothing better to do than destroy the same type of community that he appears to duplicate at his own site. I feel pretty powerless and fed up at the same time. So if I don't answer your emails or PM's demanding to know why you can't get to the site or why your IP was "blocked" its because the routing will be disabled again which means there will be downtime before people can access the site again. IPS (Invision Power Services, our host) are aware of this, so please don't bother to bombard them with emails, they are also doing what they can to rectify the situation. On behalf of the Neowin Team, Thanks for your continued patience and support, I hope this is sorted soon.

    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By Nas · Posted

      Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.

      Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
