This is a really cool hook for IPB That gives instant notifications and even puts the number in the title bar like facebook does!

I think it would be cool to have here

I installed it on an IPB forum I run and it's pretty cool.

Have you tried it? It's really easy to install.

It's a good idea, but we are on 3.2 so it isn't compatible.

aww man :-( when are you planning to upgrade? or is that like the worst question ever right now? *ducks* LOLOLOL

It is really nice and works very fast.... not much effort to install... upload to FTP to the specified directory then put in the xml file in the ACP where you should put it and there you go. Modding IPB is so easy.

I have IPB v 3.3.4

ATM there are no plans to upgrade IPB ;) I can't really say much more than that at this time.

okiez, understood. upgrading can be a pain.

I know there's a really funny hook where you can have animated trucks for the sharing icons...

Im just gunna say if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

But if something can be added (maybe one of the programmers can hack the code and incorporate it into the site, without upgrading the site itself as a whole?) then im all for it. ^_^

Little things like the notifications add a nice personal touch I think. I just don't want another week without Neowin like the 3.3 move, that was just... painful :o

I don't know how your skin is set, but the only thing that would be majorly effected by an upgrade to 3.3 would be your skin

That's the big problem that keeps being mentioned. Seems with every new IPB release they have to redo the skin.

Pretty much, and its never just tiny tweaks. Always something major... its really a pain in the arse to manage (IPB)

You DO NOT WANT VBULLETIN. Very unoptimized and the updates break way more then IPB does. the move from 3.x to 4.x broke so much and it totally infuriated many a admin.

The ACP in VB is the worst of all the forum engines. Not to mention it also looks like something from the 80's. LOL. IPB's ACP is the smoothest and it's extremely easy.

Many actually switched to IPB instead of moving from 3.x to 4.x

ATM there we are working on our own system to replace IPB ;) I can't really say much more than that at this time.

Fixed it for you ;)

I hope we move to VBulletin or something. I don't care much for IPB.

Don't they have enough problems already...

    • 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.
