  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”?

  9. Twitter is flagging the post that says the postal worker DID NOT walk back his fraud statement. We have a video where he literally says "I did not say that". He stands behind the fraud claim, yet Twitter refuses to accept this

  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.

  18. He did walk it back, lol. Then walked that back. Probably once he found out he could be brought up on charges. Figured he's stick it out and wait for Republicans to save him down the road.

  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.

    Been getting worse every year. So this year, it'd probably be.... well, extremely bad. I'm not feeling sad at all. I think 2013 was good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7jtC8vjXw8

  26. What the hell is Trendforce smoking? Sales of current Intel MBP might be up because everyone is trapped at home, yes, but that trend isn't going to continue through the end of 2021. Note that Apple's computer sales line (including all laptops), having been all but abandoned by Apple at Wall Street's request, have remaining flat for over 8 years now. https://www.statista.com/stati...s-since-first-quarter-2006/

  28. You took a dispute with a supplier/provider to Twitter to mediate? Twitter said that it edits its platform in hunt of lies, no?. I don't think you understand how that works.... Exactly. I don't know when the censor works and when it doesn't. Or when they are meant to, or how, or why - it seems.

  32. Having a limited number of units available that were already SOLD OUT BEFORE launch is successful? I see people who are "scalping" them. Bought units on preorder and selling them on Craigslist for double what they paid for them.

  33. The problem is it can last as long as last years as long as you don't do strenuous things. As SoC's keep getting better end batter at standby they still have to use ore power when performance is needed!

  34. a viable alternative to Li-ion is really what we need to properly advance battery tech. there's a few out there now but none of them are truly cost effective enough to be a viable alternative yet.

  35. Advances in battery technology is long overdue in my opinion. We've been getting bigger phones and just bigger batteries to make up for it.

  38. 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. These aren't gaming rigs though so what are we complaining about? I'd never recommend a "PC gamer" a Mac lol. What is this idea "high refresh" is for only for gaming? I need to be at least 75Hz (my current PC monitor) so my eyes don't give out after a couple of hours just browsing the web.. My Pixel 4 XL is at 90Hz is that a gaming phone? There might be one model here or there that doesn't fit the bill, but high refresh rate laptops are marketed and designed for gaming. I think my point is that is changing... So "high refresh" rate TVs have never mentioned for sports watching? Never? Yes, you are correct. It is changing. However, by far the majority are not like that, including high end business machines. Apple has never been about being the first. They are about improving upon existing tech. The AS transition came after MS attempted ARM, for example. I am just saying I am not paying $1200+ for a laptop right now with a 60Hz display nor should anyone else. I can respect that you won’t. Too bad they are in gaming geared machines, which is what I am saying. It is all subjective. I bought a 165Hz gaming monitor recently. It lasted me 1 hour and then I gave it to my daughter. I honestly did not see what the excitement over higher refresh rate was for what I do. I’m sure it’s amazing in games. I didn’t see much a difference at all in anything else and I ran it side by side with my 60Hz. I don’t see a reason to have a battery life hit in a laptop if I see no appreciable difference. I can feel the strain on my eyes... Note, I am just past 50 and work in IT so looking at a monitor all day also at work. it's not about noticing a difference in the short term. Think longer term... My eyes have taken a beaten over the years and I wish had higher refresh displays years ago and things like Night Light avaibile in Windows earlier. I am not saying one needs a 165Hz monitor. LOL I am thinking longer term. I work 10-12 hour days as a software developer. I’m 44 now but I suspect 6 years isn’t going to make it much different for me than now. My vision tests have remained consistent for the last 20 years. I wish could say the same here... I recently moved to progressive lens. 🙁 Ick. Note I said my vision tests have been consistent. I meant the same level of bad. 😁

"The president-elect of the United States is the person who conclusively appears to have won a presidential election in the United States but has yet to take office as President." He does "appear" to have won, but hasn't taken office yet, so.... Edit: Oops, quoted wrong person. Love the way the threading works....

  41. That's design by intention though? They're not locking your account because you're a possible spam bot, they're locking your account to get your phone number which they then use for whatever purposes they want. The same thing google does, the same thing microsoft used to do Acording to their rules the phone is optional. And some people cannot give their phone number even if they want to. It was the same problem before, but then you could make appeal, and in 2-3 days max Twitter Suport unlocked the accounts. Also a lot of people gived their phone number but never received the unlock code. Why ? Only option is to make appeal. But now they seems to ignore all appeals. They have focused only on electoral campaign and ignored anything else. And probably will continue to ignore appeals as they are probably tens of thousand - will take a year to check them all. They loose users in this manner. Good, hope the cesspit loses all their members and shuts down. The site always was garbage, never understood what anyone saw in it.

  42. Geekbench is such a joke, nobody should be showing any scores from that since they are meaningless. The only reason Apple ever uses them is because it is pretty much the only benchmark that Apple can control.
