February 2014 Avatars & Signatures-

We've brought back our Avatar & Signature Thread (we're going to see how the participation goes...)

 

Below are the forum guidelines for member signature images. Please note that in a lot of cases these guidelines also apply to text based signatures and avatars.

The maximum overall size for signatures is 170px (high) by 550px (wide). This includes text, images, and other signature elements.

File sizes should be no larger than 20 KB and 75 KB. This applies to avatars and signatures, respectively. For signatures, this applies to the combined file sizes of multiple images. Note, smaller file sizes are preferred so please be mindful of our members with slower Internet connections.

 

Below is an example of a signature with the maximum size dimensions:

Inappropriate content includes;

* Too large, or file size exceeds recommended size.
* Pornographic, violent or otherwise offensive images, language etc. This may include racist remarks, slander etc...
* If the avatar/signature is overly distracting, ie. bright flashing colors, animated sigs (i.e. GIF's/Flash)
* Audio. These are distracting for our members, so do not have audio in your signature.
* Your signature may not advertise a competing site or alternative to Neowin, or advertise a commercial venture. Neowin has its own advertising, this is the only acceptable (commercial) advertising on Neowin. This has been an issue lately. Staff are aware of it and will take action against any offending signatures we may see.
* And of course, do not contain links to, or use your signature to link to pages that contain objectionable material. This includes, warez, cracks, pornography, pyramid schemes, referral ID's, ebay listings and requesting donations.
* Please do not include signature links of a malicious nature. e.g. those that crash your browser, trigger popup floods or emulate BSOD's.

 

 

I've seen some odd/funny avatars around here. Some avatars I can immediately recognize, but some are completely a mystery to me.

 

 

Mine is simple: It is Wilson from the video game "Don't Starve". My avatar usually reflects the game I am currently playing.

but how to explain mine?

 

lol. It's OK. We'll give you a pass.  :laugh:

 

My main earned badges in the Army, my pride and joys, defined what I did while serving and still guides me to this day the things learned 

 

 

Can you tell us what they were awarded for? Or are they for super-secret black ops?  :shiftyninja:

Mine is the little robot guy holding up an oversized gear (taking from Windows 8.1) It used to be the tail of the dragon (taken from 8.1 as well.)Before, it was a betta fish taken from the 8.1 preview. The earliest one I remember was the Windows 7 betta fish.

I love the mark 1 Michael Keaton Batmobile, by far and away, the best one they ever did, barring the Tumbler, (But if one checks out the silhouette if the tumbler on the rooftop in Batman Begins, it resembles the familiarity of the silhouette the one in my avatar.

Mine was a 40th birthday gift from my DSSW (Dear, Sweet, and Sexy Wife). Since I'm a huge Star Trek fan, she had a friend of hers do a portrait of me in the Star Trek original movie series Captain's uniform, with Geordi's Next Generation VISOR in place of my glasses.

 

All I can say, to paraphrase Mike Myers from Wayne's World, is,

 

"God, I love that woman!" :) :heart:

Mine is a picture a friend took of me wearing a facemask during a light sandstorm in Iraq.

 

 

Pfft. Wearing a face mask in a light sandstorm. You puss.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      By sagum · Posted

      If you have a TV in your living room, chances are you can probably just use the Steam Link app and play your huge PC in big picture mode, effectively giving you the Steam Machine experience to see if you'd actually like it. The good news is the Steam Machine can have it's drives upgraded. It has a USB-C 10Gbs port as well, so the 512GB drive could be quickly moved to an external enclosure and repurposed.

      This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI

      Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.

      A bit like the steamdeck, this probably isn't for you.

      Gamers Nexus already did their review, and building your own will be faster and cheaper, so not very convincing.
