Thanks man. I feel like an idiot now because I also stumbled upon my Big Shot. Anyhow, here are two images taken by me, though I'm not the best photographer in the world. Click them for the full-size images, should you want those.

some of those pics look awesome, the others the lighting looks like ass... the first one looks like the worst render ever. the car models looks amazing though, not impressed with the lighting in the game.

The first one being the Thunderbird, right? It was a shot that confused me, to be honest. I used to be able to get nice shots like that on Forza 3, but the colors looked washed out when I uploaded it. And since you're a fan of the Type R.... ;)

^ i love that car. too bad they've stop making them. another thing that really made me angry/sad is north america never got them. I have a civic, but it's not bad cause i riced it out a bit (5zigen rims :wub: ) but when i was in europe i would look for them everywhere.

Looks like a scooby to me.

I thought the same. It looks a lot like the 2008 WRX STi, which is a nice car. I prefer the design of the Focus RS though.

They stopped making the Type R?! Or the Mugen version? Because if you found a Mugen in Europe, I am seriously impressed. I don't think I've seen more than two of the new model Civic Type Rs, but there are dozens of EP3 Type Rs (and Type S models, too) around where I live. But they're actually quite horrible. I don't mind people putting decent rims on cars, and 5Zigen is my idea of decent. I'm not so sure of the Halfolds multifit range available in the UK though. :p

the mugen they stopped (idiots) and that model of type R (that look) is done i'm pretty sure. and i did see a couple of mugens in europe, i think one was in france... and i definitely saw another one in spain too. You guys have type Rs and Ss. we have SIs.

edit: actually that's not fully true. you can get a civic type R here, but they call it a acura tsx...

That's pretty taunting, giving a small run of the nicest new Civic possible. I mean, it's great looking. If you didn't mind being a ricer I'm sure some enterprising company will have made a decent replica, if not necessarily for a decent price. I didn't even know you could find Mugens in Europe, but nice man! I'm jealous. From what I remember the older SI model (this one) was common enough in Ireland but I'm not sure whether they were imports or not. Ones that haven't been horribly modified are hard to find though, unfortunately.

our fast civics look like this. idon't know about over there, but our SI's were basically acura RSX's with a different exterior (i think you guys still call them integra's, i know they still call them integra's in japan)

that's the 08, the new new ones (which needs to be lowered BADLY) look like this... i personally hate how the backs look

My friend was a pretty die hard Honda enthusiast and got one of those Type R's... he was rid of it in a year and had his Honda enthusiasm totally drained out of it! It performed well but was ridiculously uncomfortable, and the build quality was dreadful - pieces would literally just fall off it. Not sure if he just got a bad example or something but it's pretty much put him off ever having another Civic!

A question to all Forza fans out of curiousity, is it possible to import images in the livery editor? I thought it's only possible to have 10000 layers of geometrical shapes, though some liveries I saw on the net are just... well as if somebody imported high-res vector graphics :o

If this is made with geometrical shapes only then... well I dunno, I will open my window and scream "WHAT?" :rofl:

Not possible. They drew everything in the editor using shapes.

Wow, thanks for clearing that up, guess I have to go to my window now :pinch: No but seriously my respect to everyone who creates Forza cars, it must be unimaginable amount of hard work behind it! :D

How long does it take for pictures to show up in the my forza bit once you've uploaded one?

Pretty much instantly for me.

Although I can only see the 'My Forza' section if I change my country location to the US, doesn't show up for UK... anyone else found that?

Heres my 2. Not done much new expect re-applied my old Slimer vinyl and put my nickname "Egon" on it. This is the wee car I made for battles with my flatmate, we both made Golf Rabbits, solely for use on the TopGear test track.

The vinyl took about 3hrs to do and isnt totally finished but its enuff to look good.

Second car is my Ferrari 458 and its just a nice clean design based off of some tribal tattoos i started to draw. About 30mins of work but it,ll do for now so I look the part in R2 races :)

Sorry for the screengrabs via the phone but my Live accounts under investigation at present due to someone hacking my account for flippin Fifa teams ><

    • Google Meet brings Gemini note-taking to AI Pro and Ultra subscribers by Karthik Mudaliar Google's Gemini-powered "Take notes for me" feature inside Google Meet is now available to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. The features work on Google Meet for web as well as on mobile, and Google says that subscribers can use it for meetings they host in many supported languages. As the name suggests, "Take notes for me" allows Gemini to listen to a meeting, generate a summary, identify action items, and save the notes as a Google Doc in the user’s Drive. After the meeting, the organizer receives an email recap with the summary and action items, while the notes can also be attached to the related Calendar event depending on the meeting setup and sharing settings. The feature isn't automatically turned on for everyone, though. Google says that all meeting participants are notified when note-taking is turned on, and users can start it from the pencil icon in Meet or enable it for future calls through Meet’s meeting records settings. For work or school accounts, administrators can also control whether the feature is available and may require explicit participant consent for note-taking, recording, or transcription features. The feature first launched back in 2024, when it was available just for selected Workspace users. Over the years, Google added refinements and more options, including the ability to enable it when scheduling meetings via Google Calendar. Google's support docs say that the feature currently supports English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish, but only one language at a time. Meetings with multiple spoken languages are not currently supported, and Google recommends using the tool for meetings between 15 minutes and eight hours. The new feature makes Google Meet closer to its rivals that have AI tools already built in. Microsoft Teams has recently started offering Copilot and intelligent recap features that summarize meetings, surface highlights, and help with follow-ups, while Zoom’s AI Companion can also generate meeting summaries from desktop and mobile meetings.

The Show number of days item label is changed to Show from days ago to better reflect what it does. Bug 436105 - esc key not working as expected in register: Enable the escape key to cancel a field edit. Bug 797384 - Gnucash doesn't handle commodity prices with big numerator/denominator properly. Bug 798004 - Next gen UI for stock transactions Bug 799314 - Add "enter now" option in scheduled transaction editor. tab to allow users to select the scheduled transactions to be included in a “Since Last Run…” window. If there are no instances of a selected transaction triggered by today’s date, the next instance is triggered. Bug 799751 - autocomplete crash Bug 799759 - Users can't Enable entries via Checkboxes on Scheduled Transactions PageAllow the Enabled box in the list of scheduled transactions to be operated instead of having to open the transaction editor dialog and change the Enabled checkbox. Also added use of the Name column as the secondary column sort for all the other columns. Bug 799762 - Poor handling of cases where hidden/placeholder accounts are used in the account register Bug 799766 - Double line preference not respected in search register Bug 799767 - POST /accounts in bindings/python/example_scripts/rest-api is broken Bug 799777 - `xaccSplitSetParent`: reparenting a committed split silently drops its KVP slots (online_id, cap-gains links) Other changes & improvements: Numeric values may now be selected to copy in the Accounts page. Add new Finance::Quote source Finnhub.io: Free API key (personal/non-professional use) available at https://finnhub.io. Set FINNHUB_API_KEY environment variable to API key to use this source. As of June 2026, free tier API limit is 60 API calls/minute. The Investment Lots report has new optional columns for Computed Annual Growth Rate. Python Bindings: Improved translation of primary object (Account, Transaction, Split, etc.) so that they can be treated as normal Python objects. This is accomplished with SWIG magic so no existing code is obsoleted. Python Bindings: Better conversion of GLists to Python lists. Python Bindings: Destroy the QofSession in the Python Session dtor to prevent leaving the database locked. [engine] Add first-class online_id accessors for Split and Account and make them available to Python bindings, removing the unused Transaction online_id property. Improve C++ implementation of QofBook. Correct the Doxygen doc for qof_instance_get/set_kvp. [gnc-log-replay.cpp] fix incorrect guid dump Add some Boost library requirements needed by libgnucash-guile to CMakeLists.txt so that missing feature will fail at configure time. Use Compile-time Regular Expressions instead of std::regex in gnc-filepath-utils.cpp and instead of boost::regex in the CSV importer, with the CTRE v3.11.1 header added to borrowed [gnc-filepath-utils.cpp] null check char* arguments Add ChartJS licenses. Removed AEX from list of commodities. euronext.com is now using JS based anti-webscraping. [report-core] always offer options summary in reports. This is useful to debug reports. The Add options summary option is removed because it's no longer optional. Remove remaining obsolete IMContext from sheet Fix blurry text in HiDPI offscreen-rendered widgets Add port field to database connection dialog: The convention of appending the port number after the host isn't obvious. When editing a split in the register treat the account as being changed only if it isn't the one selected before editing instead of if the user performed an edit Return immediately from qof_book_destroy if hash_of_collections is null. If qof_book_destroy is called on a QofBook* freshly created with qof_book_new (usually because it was used to create a session that now must be destroyed) it would try to empty the non-existent hash tables, crashing.

    • Microsoft finally launches WSL Containers in public preview by David Uzondu Microsoft has announced that WSL containers, a feature that allows developers to run Linux containers natively inside Windows without the need for Docker Desktop, is now available in public preview several weeks after Microsoft previewed it at Build 2026. To use the new container feature, you first have to install the latest pre-release version of the Windows Subsystem for Linux by running a quick update command in your terminal: wsl --update --pre-release After installing, you'd get access to the new Linux container CLI (wslc.exe) and the programmable API. Microsoft said that the CLI has a "familiar format" that matches the toolsets developers already use every day. If you know standard Docker commands, your muscle memory will translate directly to wslc.exe, which even features a built-in alias called container.exe. You can quickly run a full Ubuntu KDE desktop container by exposing ports, or pass your graphics card straight into a machine learning environment to run PyTorch workloads. Passing the --gpus all flag inside the run command instantly links your hardware. Image via Microsoft As for the API, developers can now embed Linux container operations directly inside native Windows applications without exposing the command line to users. The team integrated the API directly into MSBuild and CMake, so developers can define container steps directly in project files. Apart from bringing the CLI and API into public preview, Microsoft also said that it's working on a new default file system called virtiofs to speed up file transfer rates between Windows and Linux. Microsoft also introduced an experimental networking mode named consomme, which resolves compatibility issues with corporate VPNs by routing Linux network traffic straight through Windows. One thing to note about WSL containers is that they don't run in your standard WSL distributions; instead, every application and CLI session spawns its own lightweight Hyper-V utility VM in the background. This basically reduces the chances of one app snooping on the container of another app.
    • Google reportedly limited Meta's Gemini access over limited AI compute by Karthik Mudaliar Google is reportedly limiting Meta's use of its Gemini AI models after Meta tried buying more computing capacity than even Google could supply. According to the Financial Times, Google told Meta in March that it could not provide the full Gemini capacity that Meta had requested. This shortfall even disrupted and delayed some of Meta's internal projects. Due to this, Meta even told its employees internally to use AI tokens more efficiently. Meta wasn't the only one to get hit by this sudden refusal by Google; even other customers were affected. But Meta was hit harder because of its unusually high demand for Google's models. The move from Google makes it evident that companies all over are in limited supply of both infrastructure and compute. Alphabet said in April that Google Cloud revenue grew 63% year-over-year to $20 billion in the first quarter, helped by enterprise AI infrastructure and AI solutions. In pursuit of more compute, Meta had earlier signed a multi-billion-dollar AWS agreement as well as a large AMD GPU deal for AI data centers. But the crunch would be short-lived as both Meta and Google have also ramped up infrastructure investments heavily. Meta said in November that it was committing more than $600 billion in the U.S. by 2028 for AI technology, infrastructure, and workforce expansion. In the first quarter of this year, Meta also raised its expected capital expenditure for 2026 to a range of $125 billion to $145 billion, citing higher component pricing and additional data center costs for future capacity. However, this doesn't make the company immune to the current dependence on outside suppliers. Meta has also spent many years promoting Llama as an open-weight alternative to closed models from Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic. But if the reported reliance on Google's Gemini models is severe enough for internal work to get impacted, then it looks like even frontier labs and Big Tech aren't fully self-sufficient.

    • I like to reminisce about the good old days, way back in autumn 2025 when building a gaming machine was fun and the drives were about $150 when you caught a deal. Yes duh, back in the day we had it gone. Then baby Skynet came along, hiding in AI datacenters demanding more processing power until it reached singularity. End of a not totally fictional story.
