I just d/l the beta and ran it for the first time, I always had(and always will be) a Diablo fan - this one just felt more of the same but with a lot better graphics. Don't get me wrong I will stay play it non-stop until my eyes/fingers bleed but just was expecting more I guess.

I am assuming that folks that are in the beta sold/traded their account to someone so that they could test the bots out prior to the game coming out. These bots were all able to do things that I could not (very fast attacks) as well as all having High level armor/weapons that were magical. they were also all max level. (13)

Yea probably. Magical gear? Probably just farming for it? Or building up money to be able to get better gear. Don't forget the level is as easy as having the bot repeat levels or farm zones for a few hours while you sit back and watch TV.

The RMAH is more than enough incentive for people/companies to develop bots for this game. It was a problem in D2, but hopefully now that the RMAH is an official part of the game, Blizzard will be able to control the situation. Though, I highly doubt it. Bots will always be around in some form or another.

It won't really affect me though. I will only play the game solo or with my brother. And the RMAH is a non-option for me. I consider it a lame cop-out for those who would rather just spend money instead of play the game. So I will never be using it.

The only thing that will affect me is if these bots use the regular AH and inflate the prices. That is going to be lame. Though, I wasn't planning on using the AH much anyways, as item hunting is the main drive for me to play the game.

Apparently, I'm doing something wrong.

I downloaded the setup file and ran it. It popped up a message saying "Updating setup files."

Then it stops. No install, nothing. WTF?

*** UPDATE ****

Grr... got it. I deleted the Battle.net folder under Program Data.

Then, I right-clicked the beta setup file and went to the Compatibility tab.

I checked Windows XP mode, and Run as Administrator.

Then I ran the setup again. Now it's working.

Stopped doing that and now it just times out and it's impossible to connect. Well the Americas just hangs there forever before it disconnects you from battle.net, and europe gives error that connections is interrupted.

Blizzard is still really good at load balancing and giving enough server load for launches I see...

    • 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.
