Hope it all got sorted!

And merry xmas regardless all.

Being 21 Christmas is now no longer something I loose sleep over.. I love the whole thing tho just a time to enjoy urself with family and firends and get drunk...

I bought myself an N64 last week so the one thing I wanted is taken care of... GO RETRO!!!!

The only thing i wish for is a better year in 2005 and a girlfriend.... Not much to ask for I hope :unsure:

Merrry Christmas Neowinians

I leased a BMW 325xi (practically fully-loaded) for my mother. In 12 hours, she may very well have a heart attack upon seeing it - considering her current car is an 11 year old Japanese econobox. For all the crap I've put her through, it's the least I could do :)

Happy holidays to all!

i know what i'm pretty much getting.

dvds, bit of music and a new tft monitor.

i never knew about the tft monitor untill last week when my mum asked me to fix my bro draws. i check to see if the door to his cupboard still opened and it was their :)

but for my parents

mum = perfume, music, books, 2 ornamnets ( a budhi and them piggins)

dad = music, dvds, books, and a pen that is chunky he can use day to day

bro = dvds and clothes

sister = cloths, dvds, food mixer thing. pair of wellys to ware in the back garden cause it floods when raining

No one gets nothing, they just don't get products. You get another day to better your life, you still have a roof over your head, you will probably have a decent meal....if that's nothing then rest assured, there are people out there who would plead with their lives to have nothing.

    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
    • It's growing on me, however, your right, it make better usability sense if the tabs were bellow the address bar.
    • Qwen 3.6 is better value per dollar, and you can run it locally for free.
    • I don't believe them that anyone using threads, at least meaningfully. It's the same thing for Facebook, people just don't engage with Meta platforms like they are thinking. This isn't 2006.
