It makes me sick how rich some of you people are, i asked for an ipod but i'm not getting one, the only thing im getting is 100 dollars to save up for an ipod.

I have no idea what I'll get, and I'm not overly worried. I'm more excited about getting two proper cooked meals, , having a nice relaxing break from gigging every other night and hoping that I get a chance to see my girlfriend!!!

But I am secretly hoping for a bottle of sheridans :) yumyum

Im asking for:

Mx1000 <-- Probably wont get.

Braun self-cleaning shaver <-- Will get definately.

New speakers, either Z5500 or Z5300e

Dell 1703FP <-- Will buy for myself if I can earn it before the 31st.

Logitech wireless controller and headset for Xbox. <-- will probably get.

I already got:

30" Toshiba Theatreview HDTV.

1 Year of HDTV digital cable.

I feel happy, but something is missing.

Two gift cards (Pizza Hut and Borders/Waldenbooks/Amazon.com)

A t-shirt

A collared shirt

$350 instead of the flat panel that got lost somewhere between here and massachusetts

For the first time my parents actually got more presents than my sister and I. I guess they deserve it though.

i'm looking forward ro stuffing my face. and having lots of rest for my bad legs.

but i'm also glad that the uk are going to use the millenium dome for something bloody good for one. over christmas it's getting used for the homless, they can learn stuff, get help and have a warm place to stay over the christmas period, im sure they also get some food. so at last something good is happening with it, even thou it would of been best to bulit a permanent building for the homeless with the money that went towards the dome

well I dont celebrate Christmas so I doubt I'll be getting any presents. :)

but who cares, the only two things I would somewhat want would be a Nintendo DS and a laptop (too expensive for something like a holiday anyway). And I'm not THAT crazy about the Nintendo DS.

Oh well. At least I've got my family.

Happy holidays, all.

I got to spend my Festivus(my xmas) with 14 of my closest friends and my Fiance(also got that for xmas ^_^)

We went out to eat the 14 of us to the olive garden and just had fun like we havent in a while. Its hard for us to all get together. One of my friends just recently purchased is 2004 WRX STI so taht was his gift. lol that ******. All in all i would say this is my best xmas ever, nothing like spending it with the people you care about. My family?!??!? what about them you say... Im not to sure where they are and it dun matter, my friends are my family. Merry Xmas everyone.

    • I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.
    • No support for Windows Hello!
    • 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.
