[Shift2] The team so far..


Recommended Posts

Right, in one of the other threads it was noted that I had no clear list of the team.

So here it is, the list so far. If I have missed someone out then let me know/post on there and I'll try and sort it.

Just remember this is a learning project, after all the trolling in the other threads, I want to make it clear that we are doing this to learn, not to set the world alight (thats for later :p). I respect that everyone has their own opinions, but there is no need to troll.

Also remember this isn't a commitment, Im just getting these names by scouring the who's in page. Again theres something you don't like, let me know :)

If this is Ubuntu-based, I want nothing to do with it (We have 748374383 Ubuntu rip-offs already.). Regardless, I wish the team luck and I hope you fellas enjoy working on it. It's always nice to see a community coming together to do something constructive! GL guys!

It's looking like it's going to be Arch based :)

So far the vote is swinging quite largely in favour of Arch.

Really nice to see this. Its brought the Linux section alive on Neowin.

Hopefully in a few months after finishing some other project, I can help (and learn) on the programming side.

Heres hoping this project gets off the ground and into the big wide world :pint:

Thanks and all the best with your existing project! Hope to see you on the dark side soon! :)

Good to hear! Sorry if my previous post sounded prickish -- it wasn't intentional. I truly am excited for the project and I want it to succeed. Let Ubuntu be Ubuntu!

Hehe no worries mate :)

I wish you all the best of luck with this.

Thanks! :)

I'm also here to help if needed (either design or development). Worked with the old shift and i've also submitted a fair bit to the ubiquity project :)

Thanks Brian M, will add you to the list :)

You guys make me proud.

This is taking off so fast! :,)

Oh, if there ever is something that needs to be done with scripting, I'd gladly lend a hand.

(if the scripting language is something I can quickly hop into :p - course I don't think we'll be using AppleScript :laugh:)

Side question: if I happened to have something really cool outside of my department (graphics and photo), would that be welcome, too?

(like: send it to the specific department or something along those lines...)

Of course it would be welcome, just create a thread and let us know if you have anything you want to put in.

Player The HTTP read strategy has been changed. If the playlist contains one entry, more key combinations can be used to control the player (jump through chapters, adjust volume). Improved support for reading ASX playlists. The translation of the MediaInfo report for Chinese, Korean and Japanese has been removed. Added blocking of 32-bit filter "PICVideo Lossless JPEG Decompressor" (pvljpg20.dll), because it crashes. Added blocking of the system filter "AVI Decompressor", which will eliminate the crash of VFW codecs. Fixed a rare crash when using the "/slave" key.

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.

    • I did test it a month or so back, but ... the results I expect to be on the first page are not there.
    • Neowin is saying these are good prices? Thats crazy. As others have said they are just ######. Time for big tech to bring down the prices for real not this fake crap.
    • The iFlyTek AINote 2 is among the thinnest E-Ink tablets. It has an EMR stylus, a built-in fingerprint reader, and plenty of built-in AI features. You had me until "and plenty of built-in AI features." That and any company that still does the iProduct naming trope is an immediate pass. It suggests the company isn't very imaginative or creative and is trying to piggyback off another company's success. Extremely lame. Also kind of expensive. Better choices at lower prices out there.
