Ok, back online now!

Just something random I threw in when I first started. When I joined the Neowin team I couldn't change it because I'd loose track of those first 22 WU I had done :o :cry: I can't be bothered to see if I can change it now :/

Prepare for overtake.

folding@home is running nice on my new i7 (specs in sig), joined the team a few weeks ago.

Thanks for joining! I'm wondering if you're having some technical issues, as it shows you haven't completed in WU in a while:

Well I only run it when I am away from my PC. Or if I'm doing something in my flat and my PC is just on. I play quite a lot of games so I don't like to run it while I am doing that, and my computer is off when I am at work. I am on a electric meter so I do have to be a bit careful with leaving this on all the time (but I get cheap rates of-peak and at night). If I could I would run it a lot more! Also I have been doing folding on and of since 2009 so my stats are a bit stop and start.

i know its possible, and my laptop would probably do rather well at it (i have dual nvidia 650M running in SLI) I just do not want to run the laptop all day

okay :(

Moved up from ~50 to 10 in a couple weeks of turning everything back on from ignoring FAH for a few years :)

    • New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues by Taras Buria Another bug-fixing update is available for PowerToys version 0.100. After releasing version 0.100.1 with a bunch of bug fixes and patches, Microsoft pushed version 0.100.2 to address two important issues with one of Command Palette Dock's features. With PowerToys 0.100.2, Microsoft fixed the performance meter displaying incorrect values and memory leaks, which are particularly unwanted things in the current situation with overpriced PC hardware. Here is the changelog: Reverted a Performance Monitor dock refresh change that forced item refreshes on every metric update Fixed a memory leak in the Performance Monitor dock extension by reusing stable network upload/download band items instead of creating new list items on each refresh For those unfamiliar, Command Palette Dock is a relatively new addition to PowerToys. It is a taskbar-like tool that you can keep on top of the screen to pin various useful widgets, commands, and more. It can display time, weather, your PC's performance metrics, and more. Microsoft introduced the Command Palette Dock in March 2026 in PowerToys 0.98. Microsoft has dedicated documentation for Command Palette Dock, and you can check it out on the official Microsoft Learn website. You can update PowerToys to the latest version by going to Settings > General and clicking "Check for updates." Alternatively, you can download the installer from GitHub using this link. In other news, Microsoft is working on a new window-management utility for PowerToys. Called Alt Window Cycle, it will let you use the Alt + ` shortcut to switch between different windows in a single app. You can learn more about the tool here.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      You did take leaf out of Trumps book already and had brexit - only to harm yourself. The same goes with this AI nonsense. The obvious solution for these companies is to move their head office to Brussels. I can see quite much irony there... 🙂

      Wonder if they are trying to slow down Linux traction (not saying this is the only factor) in the consumer space. With the most pressure probably being steam deck/box, etc.
