I know Spartan is still a WIP, but thought I'd run it by the site devs.

Why? Its a WIP, and won't be released for months, and many changes to come, how does it matter that Neowin doesn't work properly now?  use a stable browser.

I guarantee it's more the fault of IPB 3.x than anything else. remember that neowin had to apply hacks just so it would support IE10 & 11 properly

 

hopefully this should all be rectified once IPB 4 gets released with the more up-to-date editor

I can confirm that quoting in IE12 is not possible for now.

 

I tried to look in the js code, but it's such a mess, it's not worth it.

 

IE12? I thought IE11 was the last ever version of IE and was being kept as an optional extra for compatibility reasons, and Spartan (not called IE12) was becoming the new default browser? Or maybe I heard that wrong, and nobody really knows for sure what is going to happen ;)

Yes I confirm that Microsoft is dropping the IE brand. I know because I was told by a friend who has a brother who has a cousin who has uncle that is working on the Spartan project. /s

There's no need for the sarcasm. What I said has basis in the statements Microsoft have made, that IE will not be in Windows 10 by default, and will be an optional extra you can choose to add. IE is being dropped as the default browser to be replaced by Spartan, this is confirmed fact, not conjecture. The version of said optional install of IE remaining as IE11 is based on reports from Paul Thurrott and Mary Jo Foley. Not my friend's, brother's, cousin's uncle.

If anyone in my team ever said such a thing, they would be dragged into an office for a complete tirade about their idiocy!

    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      FSR 4.1 is insanely superior to FSR 3. Like, FSR 4.1 Performance looks better than FSR 3.1 Quality. It's great they are finally enabling it for RX 7000 users. A bit late, but I guess better late than never.

      Was it the way the cars handled in 4? or was it the choices you had to make?

      Exactly.
    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      By Parallax Abstraction · Posted

      I understand the position Valve is in with hardware pricing thanks to the AI bubble, but as others have said, this is DOA at this price point. There's no world in which a machine at that performance level is worth that price. My girlfriend's a console gamer and after meeting me, wanted to try PC but wanted something she could use on her TV with a controller. The Steam Machine is basically tailor made for her, but only at what it would have cost before the hardware crisis. I took my old Lenovo Legion laptop with a Ryzen 5800H and a 3060 Mobile 8GB, put Bazzite on it and it does the same thing with the games she's interested in very well. She still likes the Steam Machine, but won't be touching it until component prices are back in the sane range. I know Valve isn't a charity, but I don't know why they're not willing to at least partially subsidize this device or even take a loss on it during the component crisis, just to build some market share. Then again, the Steam Deck is also a complete ripoff at its current price and they can barely keep them in stock so...
