  1. How did you find Neowin? 1 2 3 4 48

    by Slimy

    If you can't remember your first or first topic, go to your profile, click Find member's posts/topics, click on last and scroll down to the bottom :) I joined because I needed desperate help as I had succesfully deleted the administrator account on my XP box leaving only a guest account. I stuck around because Neowin was the only site to produce a solution and then I discovered the SD&A forum. It took me a while to realize that BPN is where I would grow and even longer to discover that we had a front page where I could be most useful :p edit: damn typos

    Welcome to the Neowin Members' Pictures 2020 thread! If you want to show your fellow Neowinians what you look like, this is the place to do it. When posting, please note the following: If you plan to img-embed your picture, please try to keep it under 100k, no matter how yummy you may believe it to be. Actually, it's best if you just link to it externally. If you are going to quote, there isn't a need to quote an img-embeded picture - Just don't do it. Please just reference the post by page number/page link/etc. The moderators of this forum reserve the right to edit or remove your posts as necessary in order that they will comply wit…

    First of all, welcome to Neowin. We're pleased you chose to register and participate in our little corner of the Interwebs. To avoid any misunderstandings on what is acceptable here, and what not, please do have a look through our Community Rules. Neowin is like many other forums different, and with differences comes a different set of "house rules". The main things to take into considerations are, no swearing/cussing in posts (that includes in images), absolutely no warez discussion and/or links to such content, this also applies to nudity/porn, not acceptable here. Those I'd say are the big no-no's, the rest - as pointed out above - i…

  8. It’s Been over 17 Years 1 2

    by guitarf1

    My last activity here was on Wednesday October 27th 2004, which was 17 years, 3 months, and 13 days ago. I managed to make it back with some help. To be perfectly honest, I didn't even recognize my account's activity until I found a picture post of a lunar eclipse that I had taken and matched up. Words are easily forgotten, but pictures remain. One of the bigger surprises was seeing how neowin.net has such amazing content retention! If only I had kept my old computers and had taken more screenshots back then. I would like to see more people come back to forums in general. It seems older ones like Amdmb.com have died or were rebranded.

    by VicZHang

    After reading Neowin for a longtime, I finally create a topic in the form. It's really amazing to get the lastest tech news from Neowin, you know, China tech medias always late for many hours during to the jet lag. Thanks for the Internet, I could connect with you. And I also want to give you news about China digital devices, such as Xiaomi, OnePlus and so on. With the China tech market developing, We also get a lot of interesting digital devices and software, such as Smartisan OS( a mobile system that is based in Android). Ok, this is not a ad of China tech companies. Please allow me to say hello to you. Best wi…

    Hi. You can call me rabalupe. I just finished reading https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29154216 and had an instant urge to sign up(as a forum-member) for one of my daily news sources, neowin. I am something to someone. Isnt that what its all about? And someone is something to me. But when the days get dark (outside) and rainy, I find myself playing RTS games.. and when the house sleeps I find open source projects, install them, try them, take notes, deletes them.. To find that special gem of a open source project, that I can save for later.. later for maybe starting my own hosting company. Who knows.. will that ever…

    Hello all! Well, I have been a member of Neowin and took a brief hiatus (nearly 2 years) after I left over a disagreement, me acting quite childishly when I did so. I would like to thank Steve for welcoming me back to the forum! I have been a member since 2004 (according to the profile thing on the left), which was prior to me starting high school. It is amazing that I have been reading this site and somewhat participating for nearly 20 years. During that time, I served in the US Military, had a kid, transitioned careers twice, and mostly survived a pandemic! One thing has been constant in my life, I have been a daily reader of Neowin. …

    Hey guys, I am AtlCanadian. I used to frequent NeoWin when I was a kid, maybe 12 years old - or around there. I'm now 27 and have been back on a PC for the last 2-3 years, before that I was using Mac but only really using a computer for school work and odd business stuff. After getting back into PC Gaming, I'm starting to revisit communities I loved (like Neowin). I tried streaming on Twitch for a bit, but decided to take a break until the end of summer. I make mods for some games, and self developed a FiveM server. I also run Windows 11 Beta and iOS 15 Beta, since I was a kid I loved seeing how development versions (and their progress) before a public release. …

    Hello neowin, A lot has changed since I last logged in. a 10 year marriage, travelled the world, Spain, Peru, Philippines among other places. Switched over to Linux and became a data privacy nerd. Just wanted to say hello again and its good to see the forum going strong. I wonder if there is a bad for old school neowin users? I hope this message finds you and your family healthy and well. edit: i see i logged in around 2015ish... did not even recall... hello again anyway!

    I'm just a new guy. I enjoy what Linux has to offer. Mostly, I'm just human. I don't hassle anyone, nor do I fight or argue with people. I'm too old and too tired. I'm old now, I've seen many parts of the world and know there's NOTHING out there that interests me at my age. I'm relaxed, and I enjoy flicks like John Wick, The Matrix, Logans Run, Soylent Green, Equilibrium, Running Man, you get it. I'm running a ASUS ROG Zephyrus GU502DU laptop running Ubuntu 20.04, with 24GB ram with an AMD Ryzen 7 (Summit Ridge) and a Nvidia 1660ti I'm hoping that Ubuntu 22.04 will use the kernel 5.11 or newer as these ASUS ROG laptop drivers for the backligh…
