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...

    • This makes me think of Dune for some reason.
    • I'm too old to return to the "good old days" when I was installing custom ROMs and tinkering with my devices - now I just want to turn it on and use it. I've read that banking and payment apps work on Murena /e/OS (I'll have to check the ones I use) and I also really want to support Fairphone 😉
    • Time to start going to the local church and play Bingo for a while.
    • NVIDIA announces 35 new AI HPC supercomputers across Europe by Fiza Ali NVIDIA has announced that 35 AI high-performance computing (HPC) supercomputers are planned to open throughout Europe this year. This marks what the company describes as the largest single-year expansion of AI infrastructure in the history of the continent. These new systems, unveiled at ISC High Performance 2026, will be placed at a number of national supercomputing centres, AI factories, and research institutes to provide advanced computing resources to more than three million researchers. Describing AI, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang stated, "AI is the new instrument of science, and Europe is building the infrastructure to put it in the hands of millions of researchers." Built on NVIDIA's Blackwell and Hopper architectures, the new systems will support research in climate science, healthcare, clean energy, quantum computing, and other scientific fields. Among the major projects are the Barcelona Supercomputing Center's MareNostrum 5 AI upgrade, BavariaAI's Blue Swan platform in Germany, Italy's IT4LIA AI factory, Germany's HammerHAI project, and Sweden's Mimer AI Factory. The Barcelona Supercomputing Center plans to expand MareNostrum 5 with NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 and GB200 NVL4 systems. In total, the BSC expects to deliver up to 20 exaflops of AI training performance and 33 exaflops of AI inference performance. This increased computational capability will support research efforts related to climate modelling, biotechnology, energy systems, etc. Furthermore, as part of the IT4LIA project, more than 8,000 GPUs, each based on NVIDIA’s GB200 NVL4 architecture, will be used in Italy. This represents one of the largest AI factory initiatives announced to date. Additionally, the Blue Swan platform from BavariaAI will include about 1,000 GPUs to help develop multimodal AI models for use in the medical field, robotics, and various areas of scientific research. NVIDIA also emphasized in the announcement how rapidly growth of accelerated computing usage is taking place within both energy and climate-related research. The company said Siemens Energy uses NVIDIA-powered technologies to significantly accelerate the process of designing and simulating hydrogen-capable gas turbines. Using those same acceleration technologies, Siemens was able to reduce simulation time by up to 77 percent. The company also highlighted several quantum computing initiatives across Europe. CINECA, EuroHPC, and Pasqal are integrating a quantum processing unit into Italy's CINECA supercomputing centre using NVIDIA's CUDA-Q platform. Meanwhile, researchers at Germany's Julich Supercomputing Centre recently simulated a universal 50-qubit quantum computer on the JUPITER supercomputer. The announcement demonstrates Europe's continued commitment to building out its infrastructure supporting AI and supercomputing as governments, research organizations, and technology companies compete to build out their respective computing capacities and secure their positions in advanced scientific research.
