What did you get for Xmas?


Recommended Posts

Hover at your own risk! :p

I woke up to Mrs. Claus playing Santa's flute. :woot:

me too, how weird is that.

I got money, new gaming headset, clothes and an icp blanket for my bed.

Got my parents a Windows 8 RT tablet and when the pro comes out ill just take the RT and give them a pro.

Got a WDTV Live, a SSD drive, and some cool Vans shirts from wife and son. Got a pretty nice gift card to Bed, Bath, Beyond from my mom and some various gift cards (Target was popular in my family this year) from other family members.

The best, though, was watching my 3 year old open his Santa gifts (Transformers Rescue Bots, Batman stuff). After 11 months of my boy asking for the same things over and over, the fat ****** came through ;)

By my family's standards we cut way back this year and it turned out to be a great decision. Minimal stress and lots of fun time together.

I got my dad a 60 minute flight in the back of a 2-seater 1941 Tiger Moth, can't wait for him to go :)

Did that for my dad's 65th birthday at RAF Duxford, totally awesome, he loved every second of it, we still call him Biggles!! lol

New system:

Bad Kitty, Why didn't you get a Mac with a real CAT on it? Oh wait! Kitty is a gamer....thats why no OSX for her :)

Best of luck with the new year kitty.

my gf and I have a shared bank account (next to our personal ones) and this year we decided to use up the money on it. i bought myself an nexus 4 and for her a samsung series 9 ultrabook with an external asus monitor and a nice little mouse. very neat device that samsung is.

AMD FX6100 3.3GHz Six Core Processor, Motherboard and 8GB RAM

Logitech KS360 Wireless Keyboard

Nokia Lumia 800

DVDs:

Mrs Brown's Boys Series 2

Mrs Brown's Boys Live DVD

TED

The best of Family Guy

Boxer Shorts

T-Shirts

Money :)

I got my two front teeth. :laugh:

That is the one thing I could really do with actually. I have a large chip from each of my front teeth, so it looks like a huge gap. :laugh:

Me, what did Santa bring for me I hear you ask.

Sweet Fanny Adams is what I got.

Got a headache though from downing 10 pints of Guinness with the lads and ladies xmas eve.

So that is all I really got, a head ache.

I want one but money a bit tight right now...lol...

Maybe a MacBook when I travel more...

    • It wouldn't be hard for me to turn off my TV, if I had one. For one thing, I never scroll Instagram. The only reason I have an account is because Meta created one when it merged the account systems for its various services.
    • OpenAI's new GPT-5.5-Cyber tops Claude Mythos 5 in vulnerability benchmark by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI today announced a major expansion of Daybreak, a cybersecurity initiative designed to help defenders find, validate, and fix software vulnerabilities earlier in the development process. The availability of powerful AI models has definitely changed the cybersecurity landscape by making vulnerability discovery much faster. However, the bigger bottleneck for the industry is now patching those vulnerabilities. Impacted software teams need to validate the discovered issues, understand their impact, develop fixes, test them, and deploy patches. Back in March, OpenAI launched a preview of Codex Security, which uses agentic reasoning with automated validation to discover high-impact issues and actionable fixes specific to the codebase. Since then, it has scanned more than 30 million commits across over 30,000 codebases; more than 70,000 findings were marked as fixed by human reviewers, while over 500,000 findings were automatically determined to be fixed. Now, OpenAI is releasing an updated Codex Security plugin that can run deep scans, review recent code changes, generate security reports, trace attack paths, validate findings, and create codebase-specific patches for human review. It can also triage findings from existing scanners, advisories, bug bounty reports, and ticketing systems. OpenAI says the plugin can export results to vulnerability management systems and integrate with workflows using SARIF files, CodeQL queries, the Codex CLI, and the Codex app. Back in May, OpenAI announced the preview of GPT-5.5-Cyber, a new model built on top of the recently released GPT-5.5, designed for specialized cybersecurity work. Today, OpenAI launched the full version of GPT-5.5-Cyber through a limited release for verified defenders. On CyberGym, GPT-5.5-Cyber scored 85.6%, compared with 81.8% for GPT-5.5 and 83.8% for Claude Mythos 5. It also scored 39.5% on ExploitGym, compared with 25.95% for GPT-5.5, and 69.8% on SEC-bench Pro, compared with 63.1%. OpenAI also announced the new Daybreak Cyber Partner Program, which will allow security vendors and service providers to use GPT-5.5 with Trusted Access for Cyber in their products and services. Accenture, Akamai, Cisco, Cloudflare, CrowdStrike, IBM, Palo Alto Networks, Proofpoint, SentinelOne, Wiz, Zscaler, and others were listed as initial partners for this program. OpenAI is also launching Patch the Planet with Trail of Bits, HackerOne, Calif, researchers, and maintainers. More than 30 open-source projects have committed to participate, including cURL, Go, Python, Sigstore, and pyca/cryptography.
    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs by Sayan Sen Earlier today AMD released a major graphics driver update as it brings support for FSR 4.1 to Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs. The new update, version 26.6.2, also brings support for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and more. And while the driver technically supports Windows 10 version 21H2 and newer, the tech giant has confirmed that there is a major issue with the new driver on non-Windows 11 PCs as it fails to launch properly on such systems. The error message says, "The version of AMD Software that you have launched is not compatible with your currently installed AMD graphics driver." Therefore on the surface it looks like a compatibility problem. AMD has also confirmed that the device manager will display the yellow bang or yellow exclamation sign alongside your GPU under the Display adapters dropdown. Here is what the Radeon team's official advisory recommends to affected users: "Users Running Windows 10 and AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 May Encounter Yellow Bang in Device Manager Affecting AMD Radeon RX Series Graphics ... Our Engineers are currently investigating this issue and will provide a fix once it is available. Affected users may revert to AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.1 as a temporary workaround." As such you should revert back to the previous 26.6.1 driver which was released earlier this month. In case you were looking to play Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations you will probably have to wait a while if you want the driver to support those games officially. You can find the support article here on Microsoft's website.
