Developer - will the Quick Links dropdown box be added? Thanks.

Don't count on it, the reasoning for the control panel tab/drop down is to replace that.

If anything we "might" do a dropdown for the forums tab and have quick links to some of the popular forums.

Thank you. The two key items I miss are "mark all forms read" and the links to the popular forums. Every forum I've seen has the "mark all read" option - Neowin had it in the Quick Links box.

That one is still there, its at the bottom of the control panel drop down.

I use that feature myself every 5 min it seems, so I had to keep in there :p

The only thing I m missing is a quick way to get to my PM inbox... Other than that its great.

I went ahead and added a new link, My Inbox (for pm's), and will be bold when there is an unread pm in there.

One question; is there any final date for the release of Finity?

Well, from what I know, Finity won't be completed for awhile. If we end up upgrading to ipb3.0, every skin will be incompatible. So right now the idea is to wait for that and do a "true" finity skin to replace all the others. It will be very different than what we have now.

Now, I'm excited! :p That sounds pretty good, although I thought with the new IPB, the forums would have a different skin to the front page? (:() I hope not.

Would be nice to see a Finity skin on the new IPB 3. Do you have any idea when IPB 3 is to be released as final, Timan?

... The details of a user's profile (just under the profile pic/stars on a thread) are too spaced out vertically, though. (Group, Posts, Joined, From, Member No.)

Totally agree. Especially for someone who doesn't show sigs. Waaay too much wasted vertical space.

I've been saying this for a long time. I even created (with lots of help) a userstyle for stylish a while back to address the problem.

Edit: Oops! Removed quoted picture.

Ack.. Thank you! I use Opera, and totally forgot about user stylesheets until now. /facepalm

I kinda identify people visually and sometimesI do read people's details; so I just scale the avatar down and squish all the details into one blob in case I want to look at them.

    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By Nas · Posted

      Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
