  6. What if I dispute one of Obama’s tweet, will it be labeled as “disputed”? Ok, I’m kidding, of course it won’t be. The question is: WHO EXACTLY has to dispute the tweet for it to be labeled as “disputed”?

  14. From our older article on this topic (https://www.neowin.net/news/twitter-will-add-labels-to-misleading-us-election-result-claims) : "Exempt from labels will be Twitter accounts from official sources, such as state election officials or news outlets with independent election decision desks. These include ABC News, Associated Press, CBS News, CNN, Decision Desk HQ, Fox News, and NBC News. These sources will also be considered when labeling potentially misleading tweets, so if a claim is challenged by these sources, a label will be applied to indicate that."

  16. Apple's macOS 11 Big Sur is now available for everyone

    Lazy in comparison to MS? More like they are just flat out more intelligent about these updates and understand you take small steps, not huge ones. Much easier to refine more subtle changes than large jarring ones. How many years has it been and we still do not have a consistent UI? How about two control panels? Those are just two examples. The only reason this was bumped to version 11 is because it has massive changes under the hood and now supports AS and x86 alike. One thing is apps that hard coded the location of a library/dylib are going to face issues, especially if the developers of said applications no longer maintain them. Ah yeah—I didn’t think about that. I mean there is also a lesson here that all developers should take to heart. 😉

  17. Since when they are the source of truth?, especially CNN that thanks to the "mass destruction weapons", it was used to destroy an entire country and put a sh***ty fanatical regime. Looks like Neowin needs to start tagging misleading information as well LOL.

  19. Twitter is not my big brother. Anyways, Twitter is full of lies. Some companies used the quarantine to move their support to Twitter (why?). They don't answer phone calls or emails anymore. So, they could use bots to answers with the generic "we are looking at it" but it is a lie. And what if I complain? nothing, Twitter doesn't care because it says it is a private matter. So, Twitter is acting as an editor but usually, it doesn't.

  30. Still noticing no examples of Biden Tweets that should be flagged. How about the top 5 from this week? month? year? This is not a both sides argument, this is about people being knowingly deceptive and repeatedly giving false and misleading information as 'fact'. I'm shocked Twitter or any of the social media platforms even took time to flag false information. It is kind of their currency, as it allows goofs and fools to believe the stupidest BS possible. Example: The earth is flat crap has never been more popular in the history of humankind. Even 2000 years ago, most people thought the earth was round. (They just had to look at the moon and sun to figure it out.) Yet in 2020, here we are with social media fueling low information goofs with something their lizard brain find 'plausible'. Trump would not have been elected or taken seriously in elections over the past 100 years. News outlets wouldn't let a candidate make up information or change their plan/idea from sentence to sentence with no basis in information or facts. They would have been called out for being a ######ing idiot.

  34. May be Twitter will stop those pesky anti spam bots they activated in August and Twitter Support will start again to analize appeals from users locked and suspended by those stupid AI scripts. It's almost impossible to make an account today without being locked in few minutes for being a spam bot ( tried twice in the last month - last one yesterday - locked before having time to tweet anything or follow somebody ) and a lot of good accounts, included verified ones from celebs were locked. If you cannot provide a phone number you will be suspended automatically after 2 weeks. If you have a phone number provided you don't get the unlock code. So you have to make appeal and there is nobody to answer them. So... better quit Twitter.

  35. Apple's macOS 11 Big Sur is now available for everyone

    probably too many people trying to pull it from their servers at once Worse. Their servers crashed and they took Macs with them, mine included. I better never hear a Mac fanboy complain about Windows phoning home ever again... https://twitter.com/lapcatsoft...s/1326990296412991489" rel="external nofollow">https://twitter.com/lapcatsoft...status/1326990296412991489" rel="external nofollow">https://twitter.com/lapcatsoft.../status/1326990296412991489 Yep. I was impatient and managed to get it going, now i'm limbo. Fun times. Same. Edit: I used a vpn and connected to Germany. It’s downloading.

  40. Google seems to have the confidence that they can get people to pay for the options that were free for so long. They are sorely mistaken. If they keep taking options off the table people will be forced to look elsewhere and other companies are going to smell the blood in the water and take advantage of this. I take dozens of pictures every week. If they think they have the monopoly on photo storage they are wrong. I will not buy another Pixel phone either. Brand loyalty only goes so far.....(End of rant).

  41. Here are some tidbits you might not know about the PS5

    Who said it only applies to next-gen only titles. By "next-gen" I meant any game that is available on those consoles. Cross-gen titles utilize the next-gen hardware capabilities too. Sony even demonstrated that a few months ago with a PS5 spider-man demo.

  43. I would wait for M2 or even M3 models to hit the market. There are simply too many unknows and lack of native support for apps and hardware at the moment. Hardware wise they are missing Thunderbold 4, no memory expansions, no eGPU's, no touchscreen (for iOS apps) etc.

  44. Microsoft details the features added to OneDrive in October

    If Miceosoft built a good photo and video viewer and editor for Android with OneDrive support and improved the Windows Photos, they could probably get quite a few Office/Microsoft365 users after Google Photos backups move to paid subscription model.

  45. Here are some tidbits you might not know about the PS5

    They are "blocking" it, because next gen games won't even run properly from USB storage. The games would either stutter heavily or have massive asset and texture pop-in, or both. Asset streaming is NOT the same as traditional loading. You won't see a bar. As I mentioned, the assets will be streamed on-the-fly, from the storage to the processors, as you actively play the game. Let's say next gen games won't even utilize the full bandwidth, let's say they won't go past 2 GB/s, or even 1.5 GB/s (they will). That's still way above what USB can do.

  46. I expected this gen Exynos SoC at least to support hardware AV1 decoding. Looks like MediaTek Dimensity 1000 is the only one that does. Qualcomm, Samsung and Huawei are backing some MPEG proprietary and patented video coding standard: https://www.gsmarena.com/qualc...nd_8k_videos-news-43170.php

  48. Apple introduces new Macs with Apple Silicon

    The RAM is also shared with the GPU. LOL Worse, the displays are only 60Hz which is totally unacceptable in 2020 at that price point. To be fair, outside of gaming laptops, everyone else is at 60Hz too.

  49. Apple introduces new Macs with Apple Silicon

    Windows 10x might be ready for ARM and hopefuly for BootCamp. Windows on ARM does not run as well as Windows on Intel or AMD. That starts with DirectX, where screens are rendered in the hardware, not through the CPU. That was a long time ago that Windows still rendered via the CPU but with a serious performance hit. ARM is not uniform, either. There is no guarantee that Windows on ARM runs properly on a Snapdragon, it also runs on the Apple M1 or vice versa. Microsoft has no choice but to optimize their entire ARM experience with Qualcomm. Apple will never help Microsoft make Windows run properly on the M1 because they have absolutely no interest in that. Bootcamp is dead. What I find absolutely concerning is that Microsoft has not yet announced an Office (Office365) for MacOS on ARM. As long as that not runs natively, they have to rely on Rosetta2. But nobody knows if the performance is good enough. Imagine that runs badly in the coming period (until it is native). Then it keeps the business from buying the new Macbooks. I know, they showed Excel during the WDDC back in June. But even Adobe won't release a native (ARM based) Photoshop until early next year. What if Microsoft needs some more time than we all hope.
