What happened to NeoWin?


Recommended Posts

I would love to add to this discussion and share my personal experiences but I would probably get banned or at the very least "warned".

Oh snap, get warnings for dumb crap on here sometimes.

No disrespect to Neo, but I was going to buy a subscription until I got a warning for the most stupidest thing ever (twice now from same mod). I now rarely post on here, I hang out in game section now and again and that's it.

Rule of the thumb when it comes to Neowin, if you have something negative to say, don't say it because it's just not up for discussion.

You are, by definition a fan boy.

Can someone please close this. I just subbed so I could make this request.

The point of the thread has been served and it's about to turn into hardcore troll bait.

I'm going to buy a rifle and start camping out on the Neowin bell tower soon >.>

Close it why? Maybe there is a need for a spot on the forums to air your concerns. I'm sure there would be a lot of feedback, both positive and negative that would greatly benefit this site. So far things have been relatively civil so I see no reason to close it....

Well I will say this, I have spread tons of Microsoft hate here lately and nothing of mine was deleted. So I don't agree. It's still a nice place if you can get past all the fanboys.

Are you for real? :|

It's crap like this that is destroying this site.

I don't like the implementation of Metro start screen and the removal of the start button, I was able to present this in a newspost and even in a few forum posts but didn't have to resort to arguing with others about it lol. For some others that appears to be impossible :/

John Spartan, you are fined five credits for repeated violations of the verbal morality statute. :p

True, the point of the thread is whether you like it or not you are required to report issues to a staff member, this also includes asking why a certain post was deleted.

And lastly, even though we assume you think extremely highly of us, we can in fact NOT read peoples minds, and we also can't keep up with every single forum post, so in that sense it might seem like we're ignorant to some bad behavior going on, because a certain member thinks it's above him to actually report the issue, and instead create a whole new topic on why we didn't act upon something we should have telepathically received via our computer screens.

With that said, closed.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
