    I am happy to accept donations at our subscribe@neowin.net PayPal if the donation is clearly marked MINECRAFT SERVER. It will go towards that and that alone, we can maybe setup a system where we can recognise donors too.

  4. I can't understand why it's not wireless already. Why have a wireless charger in the car if you have to plug in a cable anyway... makes no sense.

  5. EA removes ads from UFC 4 following backlash

    Putting ads in full-priced games is pathetic, so is most of the monetization that goes on nowadays for that matter. Enabling this crappy monetization after launch so that it doesn't get mentioned in reviews or affect review scores is equally pathetic, but commonplace nowadays sadly. If you're worried about a "feature" being mentioned in reviews in a negative way, perhaps you shouldn't put it in your game? Just sayin...

  6. I have a program loading in startup, but it is not loading?

    Make a scheduled task to do what you want. Setting a startup program to run as administrator in compatibility settings will not allow it to happen unattended, it would still need user interaction.

    Maybe the CCP should respect other Countries' land first before talking about data.

  8. Considering Microsoft forces it down your throat unless you know how to setup your account without one, i'd says most people use it. Yes, down the throat, while giving users roaming and synced Apps and settings like a modern operating system. Bad/Evil Windows - It is good that Android/ChromeOS/iOS/OS X don't shove Google/Apple accounts down anyone's throat, right? FFS MS Accounts go back to the early days of NT Server and Active Directory of Win2K for seamless installation and roaming, with users no longer locked to a computer and a computer no longer locked to a single user. Windows 10 just extends this to consumer/home users, and unlike Google, encrypts all 'profile/user' information from internal access or queries. So, ya, down our throats like a hot pool boy.

  10. Vivaldi browser introduces a Break Mode to help users unplug from work

    Pathetic. This pandering to the idea that people have no self-control or peronal responsibility towards their own wellbeing... OR "Work/Life Balance" was identified as a marketing-worthy buzzword and so this assinine feature was introduced just for a press release.

  11. EA removes ads from UFC 4 following backlash

    The "realism in video games" argument is featherweight at best. The fights in a video game are fake, so why do the ads need to be real?

  15. So, they repeat the "successful" strategy of focusing on the US - as it worked out so well for their last mobile devices...

  16. This is disappointing. However, I can't help but wonder what examples of this "US-first" approach has ever been successful for Microsoft? Off the top of my head where it didn't: Cortana, Zune, certain Windows Live offerings...

  20. I have a program loading in startup, but it is not loading?

    No, the mobile app is $9.99, and reading the reviews it sounds like it's really slow and does not work very well. As far as anything else mobile, I have not tried to setup notifications, I have 2 apps that allow me to access my camera's remotely.

  22. I love the made up numbers that analysts and researchers come up with, as they forecast future sales for various markets. Normally, the trend would be down based on the change from '19 to '20.. I wonder why they think three companies are going to increase sales during a time of worldwide recession. It's equally possible that all four will a drop in sales. Only time will tell.

  23. Neowin.net Minecraft Server (Old Server)

    Firstly, thanks @Timan for hosting our MC server for so long. Also thanks @Steven P. for offering to help with a payment method going forward. Moving forward I'm OK with chipping in a few $$ a month to get our own server. However I think there are a few logistics that need to be sorted out first. Would the server only be open to paid players? Or should we make it open to anyone like now and grant paid players some tangible in game bonus (maybe the ability to switch between creative/survival for instance). Or maybe (if there is a suitable plugin) paid players have access to flight.

  24. Neowin.net Minecraft Server (Old Server)

    Seems they day has come where they finally killed off the service. I was able to download some VHD file from azure, but the account is in "Read-Only" mode and seems it will be removed any day now. So if anyone has any ideas how to get the files off of that, there may be a way to get the maps etc.

  33. NASA Orion crew exploration vehicle (updates)

    Seems like it's several steps backwards to me now, the whole SLS concept. Throw away most of the rocket at launch ... it's so ... crude. Brute force is all well and good, but ... blech. It smacks of yesterday's technology. I dislike it immensely.

  37. Didn't you get the memo? Crysis is no longer the benchmark. The BIG question now is, can it run Microsoft Flight Simulator?

  38. It was not a rename. Visual Studio Online was split in three ways. The original component, called "Team Foundation Services" is now Azure DevOps. The web app part, codenamed "Monaco", was becoming Visual Studio Codespaces. The third component is still there, only developers don't call it by name. They just call it "services" or "Microsoft services". If a developer starts talking to a game-crazed Xbox fan, he could say "Visual Studio online developer services", but it doesn't happen often.

  40. Not a renaming, tho. It was just weird to have Microsoft Codespaces and GitHub Codespaces while both are the exact same product.

    The beer bottle thinks for a moment and says, “You know, if you break me, you get a years bad luck.” The mirror looks incredulous at this comment and says, “That’s nothing, if you break me you get 7 years bad luck.”

  46. Sounds like a very logical stance. For example, in Mexico, no Surface products are sold in stores (since Pro 4 I believe). So of course people won't be spending huge cash on something they don't know. I'm from Monterrey (3rd biggest city in the Country) and I've only seen like 4 people with Surfaces (pro and non pro). My clients stare in awe at my machine that is very different they they've never heard of. So yeah, it makes sense not to release the Duo in regions where Microsoft isn't that big

    yeah even in the latest versions TouchWiz is still garbage IMO and slows everything down a custom ROM with possibly a custom Kernel as well will have that thing performing like a champ
