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.

    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
    • Watch Louis Rossmann's recent experience on YouTube about trying to get a warranty replacement from Samsung. It's crazy.
    • That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
    • They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
