  1. Is this the perfect Neowin article? Ample links to both Neowin and original sources, each feature explained in a separate paragraph, took the time to get a decent screengrab explaining the feature (as well as reminding users they are in Neowin ). Appreciate it

  4. These are the 117 new emoji coming to Android 11

    If you find something offensive, just don't use it. Something being offensive or not is subjective. What one person finds offensive, another person may not. If we remove everything that anyone could possibly find offensive, then there will be nothing left.

  6. White House advisor says TikTok could operate as a U.S. firm

    For the record, folks, Kudlow is a joke in the economic world. He's a true kook of the lowest order. Which, of course, is the only reason he'd work for the Trump administration.

  7. isn't that different? TR CPU's are in plastic carriers, you have to make sure its in the carrier right if it came out... you have to move two brackets, one retainer and one clip down... place the TR CPU into the retainer, push it down, push the clip down part down, put screws in a specific order and torque them using a special torque driver the CPU comes with vs Intel Release level, pop up retainer, align cpu put down close retainer put clip down lever back down

  9. Canalys says Indian smartphone market shrank around 50% in Q2

    "Going forward, the rate of phone sales will largely depend on whether people have maintained their jobs after the crisis is over and have the money to spare for items like smartphones" You got that right.

  10. What great build quality for a $900 Android flagship device. OEMs should follow Google's lead and strive for similar or poorer quality with their devices.

  11. You're thinking of Kabir Siddiqui. It's a straightforward idea, what else could they do? It would have made more sense on the case however, I see a lot of posts about broken kickstands and then you have to take in the device for servicing instead of just the cover. It seems unnecessarily complex and more delicate.

  15. "Hacking" that people think about actually does not exist. People "Hacking" into someone's account get credentials from a leaked database or something else. I doubt people are bruteforcing Twitter logins.

  19. These are the 117 new emoji coming to Android 11

    What emoji is offensive? Anything than resemble white emojis, nuclear family, and binary sexuality for example. Also. 👌 could be considered racist (why? beats me). Also, 🍆 could be offensive. in the peak period of the witch hunt, even the word "furniture" was considered racist or sexist or something offensive.

    Mobile-exclusive apps are dumb. Not everyone uses a smartphone and many of these exclusive apps could easily be a website, mobile website, or desktop app with the same functionality.

  30. Uhhmhuuuhmm,,,,,,,, I feel soooooo stupid . For some reason the power adapter wasn't plugged in. Maybe the cleaner did it, or a 'ghost', or even I didn't fully plug it in. I have a power strip with multiple adapters in it, and I think this one got loose or forgotten to be plugged in... Plugged it in, Notebook is charging from 2% (and up now). Lucky me. Stupid me.

  31. The Xbox Series X will not support games that require Kinect

    This is sad. They could have allowed compatibility as the rest of the games are backwards compatible (same processor architecture and OS) and the Kinect connects via USB. Most likely they didn't want to ensure compatibility and invest resources in testing and future software support and bug fixes.

  32. This is the absolute definition of unfair criticism. Sony has discontinued the previous generations of PlayStation. Nintendo has done the same. Apple discontinues the previous generation of iOS or iPadOS yearly

  33. I think Live Gold is going away in favor of pushing Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate + xCloud as the future subs. It would be a huge move to drop gold, making multiplayer free on console, as it is on pc, and then just upsell you game pass and xcloud.

  35. Lenovo announces a bunch of AMD-powered gaming PCs

    "AMD Ryzen 9 3950X 16-core processor with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER GPU. You can get it with dual 1TB PCIe SSDs, dual 2TB HDDs, and up to 128GB 3200MHz DDR4 memory. It's coming in October, starting at $829.99." The CPU alone is $689. What's the price for the model the spec is listed out for? And what do you get for $829?

  38. It did. Some idiots been spreading g all sorts of fake news and nonsense....oh..wait.. This is evidence of the pure left wing ignorance most of you have. Trump uses Twitter to actually bypass the lies from the media to tell the American people the unfiltered truth. Here you are yearning to be lied to by the main stream media. This is why you will continue to lose. It pleases me. The fact you believe everything he tweets as the "unfiltered truth" is hilarious to me. You want to rip on the left for believing everything the mainstream media says but at the same time you're going to believe everything your right wing leaders tell you, without question? That's pretty hypocritical right there.

  39. That's not something that's broken. It's being A/B tested --- some users intentionally have the change, and some users intentionally don't, so they can compare performances and make sure it's performing correctly. As was explained in the previous Build 20161 Blog: https://blogs.windows.com/wind...nsider-preview-build-20161/ "And third—we’re introducing some cool new features in today’s build, however many of these features are rolling out to a subset of Insiders in the Dev Channel at first, to help us quickly identify issues that may impact performance and reliability. This means Insiders may not see some of these features right away, but rest assured they will be gradually rolled out to everyone in the Dev Channel." So, the behavior is not broken, and you are not looking for a fix for broken behavior. However, if you want to subvert the A/B testing and get the feature installed, I hear good things about ViVeTool. I have no experience with it, and will wait patiently for the feature to roll out to me, as I'm happy to be a "B" tester I guess https://github.com/thebookisclosed/ViVe

    Same, insofar as I have personally seen families where more than one person, previously healthy and within the age brackets deemed “less risk” die. This is why I get so infuriated when people deny it! Hope you are coping ok with what you’re going through!

    I work in a large hospital as a critical care RN and have seen the deaths from this pandemic first hand. I work with COVID-19 patients and I have seen entire families die from this virus. This video is total cr@p. Anyone who believes this is an utter fool. I guess that this is Darwinism at it's best.

  47. Chrome is so terrible it's either a massive RAM hog and when they slightly fix that (it's still a fat slug) it becomes a massive CPU hog. And entire world still flocks to this pile of steaming garbage for some reason. WHY?! It doesn't have any features what so ever, it's not even that fast, they sacked ad blocking API's, so why the hell everyone uses this garbage? Because you can login to google account in it from the menu? I just can't understand the idea behind this insane popularity of Chrome...

  50. Does anyone still purchase music?

    I came across an article talking about a popular artist's new album had terrible CD/download sales. And it struck me...who is still purchasing music now a day? I know there are hard core fans, sure that would explain one group. And there's vinyl fans that would explain another group. But those both are small compared to pre-mp3 days when you had to purchase music to listen to what you wanted to. There's a lot of choice for music streaming free and subscription. I haven't purchased download music since iTunes was king, so like what 2005-ish and that's probably around the time since I last purchased a CD as well. I'm not trying to say anything negative about purchasing music. I'm just curious if there's anyone out there that still regularly purchases CD or download music.
