1000 Posts Later.... And I'm Still Here


Recommended Posts

I've been using Neowin for about 4 years now, for a while I was a lurker but just over a year and a half ago I decided to join the forums. I usually start using a forum but then either get bored of it or find that the members are ass hats but I've just hit 1000 posts. I wanted to make a quick tread just saying what's kept me here and what I find so different about this forum to others.

First and foremost are the other members, I find that a lot of respect is shown to others on here (well with a few exceptions) which is a big deal as having a forum full of flame wars is just no fun so respecting others opinions goes a long way, in my books, to making a great forum. I also find that the forums are pretty much open, other places I've felt shunned because there were little groups of friends and if others commented in a thread that one of them had made they would either ignore you or mock you, never once have I had that feeling on Neowin which is nice.

I also find that the wide range of topics keeps me here, I can go from tech news, to religion, to someone's real life drama and then even get Warwagoned once in a while if I'm in the mood. This helps to keep my attention as reading the same kinds of threads over and over becomes so boring, I honestly can spend hours on here, in fact the new content page is my most viewed web page!

It's not the most important thing but I love the design of the forums (and the whole site in general), I think that Pegasus looks awesome and having something nice to look at while browsing is always a plus. I also like that there are customisable options so that, for instance, if I got bored of the background I just need to go change it and then it feels all new again.

I could go on and on but I'd end up waffling and I don't want it to be a case of "tl;dr" :p Basically what I want to say is this achievement is more yours than mine, I never thought I'd have a post count that was 4 figures but Neowin proved me wrong. Thanks for all the news, laughter, drama, cooking tips, beer recommendations, well... you get the drift! :)

    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
    • Just saw a news report of a Waymo driving into a flooded road.
    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.
