and download it without being developer? :woot:

It's leaked to torrent sites already;  I doubt it would be any more restricted than Yosemite (or earlier developer previews) were - in other words, no restrictions at all.

 

The first Public Beta won't be until July - to put it bluntly, why do folks think Apple OS users (both Hacks and Macs alike) are any more patient than Windows users?

Can anyone try opening https://d3oaxc4q5k2d6q.cloudfront.net/ in Chrome on El Capitan? Should redirect to Bitbucket, but I get security errors in Chrome. Works fine in Safari/Firefox and on Yosemite.

Works for me in Chrome 45 dev on OS X 10.11.

I am so excited for Split View. I know it seems simple, but ever since the Windows 7 days, it is just so convenient to easily move to windows side by side and now it has finally made it into OS X. I haven't missed much from my Windows days, but that was definitely one thing.

 

Also, really like the new Disk Utility!

 

 

Hyperdock provides this.. although no use for it with 10.11

Well, this sucks:

Tell Minecraft to support the latest Java versions!!

 

edit: workaround is to install Java 8 from oracle website, download Minecraft.jar from "https://minecraft.net/download" then run in terminal "java -jar minecraft.jar"

 

Anyhow, I hope Metal improves the Retina MBP sluggishness sometimes with normal desktop apps.

Ok just installed on a 2007 iMac and it all seems ok, not fast but it wasn't before. Parallels works ok, again slow but it works. One big problem for me is Photoshop CS4 does not work as it needs Java SE 6. Netbeans and Android Dev Studio work fine.

BetterTouchTool can support it and it's free. I've even set up the WinKey/CMD + Arrow keys to move the windows round as I would expect from Windows 7+.

    • 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.
