Not much to report on my WoW Front other than like .. 4 days ago, I ran with my guild through naxx, Gluth, dropped Leggings of the Lost Vanquisher I missed the roll by one..

We go on to Thaddius and again, the Leggings of the Lost Vanquisher drop. I panicked.

This was like a dream come true as I haven't been running with my guild very much as I've been rather bored of lately.

Also when I /roll my /rolls do not appear at all for whatever reason.

My guild keeps me in total suspense.

My guild leader says after a few minutes ... "After 44 total runs for these leggings I would humbly like to congratulate Minifig on finally getting his leggings and only needing one more item for his DK's t7 .." on Vent..

I nearly fainted I was so happy.

Northrend Beasts down. That fight was stupidly easy. We used two tanks the entire time. One attempt the other tank dc'd, and the other tank just kept tanking Icehowl up to 13 stacks till Ice'd died. Took 5 attempts. Two due to people not knowing how to strafe and other little things. And the other two due to massive DC'ing.

Now on to Yogg. Hope we kill this ****er. It's my birthday!

44 runs...for one piece of gear? Sad. And people say WoW isn't a grind. :no:

hmm.. if you run 44 times for 1 piece of gear... there is something wrong. Hell, I ran uld 25 for 3 weeks got my 8.5 chest, and shoulders, aswell as enough badges for my helm >.< Get running uld if you were already mostly 7.5....

So I just logged on a few minutes ago, got into a group for heroic Trial of the Champion, started the instance up, and my realm went down for "emergency maintenance" :laugh:

Hopefully it will only be a few minutes.

I was looking to sell my account (i know i know), but I just got a new laptop for school... wow now i feel like resubscribing! My old laptop (intel x3100) could do 10fps on low settings. lol. This one (nvidia 9600gt) does 20-30 on ultra! I can finally play with bearable FPS!

I feel your pain. I get about 15-20 FPS solo, 10-15 FPS in 5 man, 6-12 FPS in 10 man, and 2-5 FPS in 25 man.

She has lurked in her lair and done battle with the many brave adventurers who travelled to that familiar location over the years. Now, in honor of the World of Warcraft 5-year anniversary, the dreaded brood mother Onyxia is being revamped to make a return to the forefront of Azeroth, as part of our big plans for the upcoming 3.2.2 content patch.

MORE DOTS, MORE DOTS... STOP DOTS

Has anyone played a ret paladin? I'm doing roughly 1000 dps less than I should and I keep checking my spec, glyphs, etc to see if I did something incredibly stupid to warrent the lack of dps but I havent found anything. x.x

Blizzard support for billing and tech is the best. I couldn't remember my WoW username since it has been over a year since I played, asked the email and my name and instantly saved me. I was going through every since username I've ever used and emails and nothing was popping up. <3

    • 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
