Welcome back to the Neowin Podcast. On episode 21, Rich and João talk about the new icons that Microsoft is working on for Windows 10, the new phones from OnePlus, and an alleged Qualcomm PC chipset could spell trouble for the next generation of Windows on ARM devices.
It's been quite the interesting week for tech news, starting with OnePlus revealing the OnePlus 9 series, including the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro. The two new phones aren't all that surprising, but they're interesting all the same, both packing 120Hz displays, wireless charging, and a promising camera experience thanks to a partnership with Hasselblad. OnePlus also revealed its first smartwatch, the OnePlus Watch.
Then, Windows fans got some big news with the first major shakeup to the icons in Windows 10's File Explorer we've seen in years. The new icons are more colorful and have João way more excited than he should be. And finally, a leak revealed the benchmark results of an alleged Qualcomm chipset for Windows PCs, and the numbers don't look great. As Rich puts it, Qualcomm may have Osborne'd its next-generation chipset because of its recent acquisition of Nuvia.

We're looking for people to cover Microsoft tech news at Neowin
by Steven Parker
Trying to keep our readers informed and updated on the constant stream of announcements, leaks, rumors, and insights that pour in from around the world is a non-stop job, including at weekends! With millions of readers worldwide, we know just how important it is to help them stay up to speed with the relentless pace of change and developments in technology.
That’s why we’re continuing to expand our team of news reporters. We’re looking for eager, enthusiastic people to join us part-time (or full time, see below in the Apply section), preferably from native English speaking countries such as the UK, the United States, Canada, and Australia, but we'll consider those in other parts of the world too.
Our requirements
We would love to hear from applicants with experience in covering technology news, but previous experience isn’t strictly necessary to apply. Enthusiasm, a positive attitude, and a desire to constantly improve and grow professionally – applicants with these traits are just as important to us as those with years of reporting experience.
Many of our reporters over the years have had no previous experience, but that hasn’t stopped them from doing a great job; some very well-known faces in the tech journalism community made their names at Neowin with little or no experience at first. We offered them a strong foundation upon which to build their careers.
Of course, even without reporting experience, we demand that applicants have plenty of knowledge about technology. Our coverage includes Microsoft, Apple, Google, Linux, gaming, software, devices, accessories, and so much more, along with analysis and insights into what’s happening in the tech industry.
We require that applicants be proficient in English, and although it is a preference, it doesn’t mean English has to be your first language. We will accept applications from anyone aged 18 or over, from anywhere in the world that accepts PayPal and Payoneer as a method of receiving payment, and we warmly invite people from all backgrounds to apply.
Neowin has a zero-discrimination hiring policy; whatever your ethnicity, gender identity, or sexuality, and whether you prefer Linux over Windows, or Xbox over PlayStation, what matters most to us is your passion for technology, your drive to do the job and constantly improve, and your ability to impartially report and discuss what’s happening in the tech world.
Be active: We require no less than four articles a week, but the more, the better. We pay our writers per original article based on unique hits. This probably won't replace your full-time job, but it is a great way to earn some extra cash while gaining valuable experience in reporting with one of the most established brands in tech news. Be original: We expect all articles to be originally written, we have strict guidelines for approvals. We understand no one is perfect, but we try to maintain high standards in order for a post to be approved on the main page. Be awesome: You need to be able to bite your tongue when negative criticism occurs. It happens from time to time, but remember you will represent Neowin on and off the site. Be there: Although not mandatory, living near a convention/tech hotspot such as London, Las Vegas, Seattle, New York, or Tokyo is a plus. Although we are looking to bolster timely coverage on all things Microsoft, we don't assign or require people to write only on specific areas or even at fixed times of the day unlike some other news sites, so our reporters can write on a variety of different topics whenever they want!
What you'll get from us
All articles that are published on Neowin start at $5, and that payment rises with the number of unique hits it gathers. Just one article can earn $100 if it reaches a threshold of unique hits, for this it would have to go viral, and articles do achieve this at Neowin often. The fact of the matter is, our payments are based on merit and the hits the articles achieve, so you are rewarded when you do well, but you'll get less for poor performing items.
Apply!
You can find out more about our requirements, and how to apply, on this page.
We look forward to hearing from you, and if you’ve got what it takes, we hope to be able to welcome you to the Neowin team very soon 😁👍

Welcome back to the Neowin Podcast. This week, we reach a major milestone - episode 20 - and it only took us two years to get there. On this episode, Rich and João recap the highlights of Microsoft's spring Ignite event, some changes to Windows 10, and a couple of new phones from BBK Electronics - the parent company of OPPO and OnePlus.
Yes, last week, Microsoft held the second half of its virtual Ignite event, which was split in two parts for the first time. While it wasn't as packed with news as previous iterations, we still saw some interesting things like Microsoft Mesh, intelligent speakers, and - a favorite of our readers - the general availability of Universal Print. Then, this week, Microsoft removed some 3D-related apps from clean installations of Windows 10 for Windows Insiders, and Edge Legacy got its last update ever. Finally, we got to see OPPO reveal the Find X3 Pro flagship, while OnePlus began hyping up the camera on the OnePlus 9, which is getting revealed in a couple of weeks.
You can catch up on all the news using the links below:
Universal Print is now available for Microsoft 365 customers

Neowin Podcast Episode 18: Let's talk about videogames
by João Carrasqueira
Welcome to episode 18 of the Neowin Podcast, the only bi-weekly podcast that has absolutely never missed a beat since its creation. After returning two weeks ago to talk about fitness tech, episode 18 is focused on one of our favorite hobbies - videogames.
On this episode, Rich and João talk about their memories with videogames and their first consoles, as well as some of their favorite experiences with the medium. As you may know, we've been running a poll to decide which is our community's favorite console of all time, and the first round is almost over, so we take a look at the results so far and which ones are our favorites. We also talk about Nintendo's legacy and how poorly it's being leveraged on the Switch. Oh, and we finally get to know the logic behind João's very weird username.
