Looks like Macheist has another one planned to start tomorrow. Not sure if it is Macheist 4 or something related to Halloween or the holidays.

If you are into Macheist, should go in tomorrow or today for some teasers.

If you are not familiar with it, they give away thousands of dollars in software for a low price like $39 or less. I got some high quality software earlier this year through it and it is a good system. They donate money to charity from proceeds as well as entertain your brain with puzzles to solve to get more programs for free. :)

Have fun!

Picked my copy up last night. It took long enough for them to open up the heist but it did eventually happen. 5 days until another one happens apparently. There is still time to pick up your copy if you want it. :)

How do I solve the puzzle? I can't figure out what to do...

If you really want to know, I can PM you the info, but that would take the fun out of it. :) However, take a look at Twitter at this link. There is a major clue there. :)

Thanks for the heads up. They didn't email me, and I'm part of the email list.

No problem. I have been following their Twitter and got the info there. They don't tweet except during that time so it does pay to monitor it every so often. :)

You click the twitter button, tweet the message they put into your message box for you, and then go back to the page to click the link that is now enabled to let you download the program. The serial is in your loot, afterwards.

Don't even have to tweet it. :p Just click the button then return to the page.

Overall some pretty cool apps in the bundle this time around. I sort of relate it to their Christmas Giving Tree they had last year. There are some utilities I will use now and some later in this bundle. Since it is software being given away for free, I can't complain and like others am archiving it with my serial numbers and will have them ready if needed later on.

WriteRoom should be free anyway :p

I want TinyGrab since GrabUp hasn't been updated for Snow Leopard. Apparently I need to wait for my license to come through, or something.

Re-check your receipt, it should be there now, Mine didn't appear on my receipt until the day after!

We are on our way to the 6th app unlock... it needs 500,000 and we are on 134,000... I'm not too sure it will be unlocked 5 days left! :s

Grab these apps while the heist it's on guys. We need to reach the 500,000 mark in two days in order to also get Mariner Write for free.

Damn, didn't notice the other thread. You can close this one :/

    • 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.

      Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      "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.
