i was browsing the internet...searching for the most disgusting porn on the face of the earth, then i found snyper's profile :o

*this is based on a true story, the true part being i was browsing the internet.

You mean the true part was "I was browsing the internet, searching for the most disgusting porn on the face of the earth" ;)

a friend told me bout it, cos hubbie bought me a advent 6301 windows vista laptop n cnt get on line using broadband bt vouguer 105, so posted a thing on here asking if any one can help me to emailme at [email protected] hoping to hear from someone as this laptop im using now is on its way out lol

thanks

probably through google.

wow, looking back I see that I was just dabbling in ASP.NET. I remember those days... that was before I even knew what PHP was. I sure have come a long way since then....

I figured out my first question on my own, but quickly had a second and the helpful (and speedy) responses made me stay.

UTAKZ!!!!!

I found Neowin through my brother..... UTAKZ. As many on this board already know Utakz or Benjimen Lucas died on January 13th 2007 in his apartment of smoke Inhalation...... The Apartment building fire also took the lives of his and my other two siblings ...our sister Angel (17) and brother Quentin (14). I only know that BEn loved to use this site among many other and to share his knowledge of computers to others. Many people associated with this site he considered friends and they also thought well of him. As I read through old blogs and post of yours I noticed the reations of his death among members and how it affected you..... If you knew him I would love for you to contact me. I have had such a hard time with this..... but to know anythign or memories you may have of my brother would mean the world to me.

Much Luv

God Bless UTAKZ

    • 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
