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.

That was always my favorite Batmobile too.  :)

 

Mine just graphically represents my name: "Matt".  LOL

Mine is pretty self-explanatory, I think. I need to make a clearer version of it, but so far couldn't be bothered.

 

It's clever and still makes me giggle even after all these years, so I've never changed it. Plus, that song is so darn catchy.

I've always liked yours.  LOL

Oh Lord, I've got that song stuck in my head now. I remember getting that CD in 1990 when I was 5 years ago. I actually still have the CD too so I guess I'll go rummage in my storage now to find it and rip it in FLAC. =\

Well back when I played Runescape I had the username "NinjaGrinch" which lead me to use Grinch where I could for a username (GitHub, Neowin, etc). I figured what picture would be better to go with my name than the Grinch himself?

Hello,

Candice SWANOPEL

Thank you :)

I wish more people showed who they are instead of using a random image.

Not that there's anything wrong with random images, they still show a bit of who you are.

Privacy :) I dont want Neowin to know who I am. If they did, I wouldnt care much but Im not a sharer of information.

Why are people in this thread posting "Mines needs no explanation". Its a thread about explaining your nick. EXPLAIN IT. :rolleyes:

Hello,

Mine is the clock gadget from the Windows Vista sidebar. The time of day shown is not significant.

I gave up using the sidebar shortly after I made this avatar. :)

Imagine making a gif showing the time at your location :)

Mine is from my favorite movie, ?Blade Runner? directed by Ridley Scott, based on the book ?Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?? written by Philip K. Dick that wrote other novels/short stories that were made adaptations like ?Total Recall?, ?Minority Report?, ?Next?,  etc.  My username is the badge number of the main character and the avatar is the police logo used in the movie.

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:

post-56814-1260970238.png 


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.

It's still the iconic (no pun intended) Dr. Merkwurdichliebe, and he probably won't be going away soon, too. Goes well with some darker parts of my attitude.

 

 


SHOE THE HORSE, LUKE!

 

Of signatures: I prefer unobtrusive small or plain text signatures, which do not take half the screen space, but may still convey some sort of message. For a long time I didn't have any signature whatsoever, too. Current - "shoe the horse, Luke!"- , if it isn't immediately clear to anyone, is a pun on the iconic "use the force, Luke!" line from Star Wars Ep. IV.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Turbo Pascal was my first real programming experience more than 30 years ago at university. I mostly taught myself from the included examples and help documentation, because the university only taught the basic syntax and philosophy of Pascal, without going deeply into Turbo Pascal’s advanced features. I still remember when I discovered that I could embed assembly language directly into Pascal code, call BIOS functions, manipulate screen memory, use mouse interrupts, and control peripherals from my programs. That opened huge doors for me. Programming back then felt really fun, direct, and close to the machine. What I loved about Pascal was its readability and the almost instant compile time. Turbo Pascal was an amazing environment, but unfortunately Turbo Pascal for Windows 3 did not feel like it fully carried that legacy forward. Later, Delphi got things back on the right track after the messy transition to TP for Windows. Sadly, Delphi suffered from years of uncertainty as it moved from Borland to CodeGear and then to Embarcadero. That instability made many developers lose confidence in it, even though Delphi itself remained a powerful and productive tool. I still work with Delphi from time to time, but I definitely miss the old days of Turbo Pascal.
    • I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
