Really?

yah...i was clicking away on neowin links and all of a sudden i was in the cemetary. it was dark, but i could see a faint sliver of the moon through the ominous-looking clouds. trees looked skeletal in the dimness. the wind was making a howling noise as it blew fallen branches and leaves around me. i thought i saw mysterious, dark creatures (banned members??) lurking in the shadows, but when i turned to look at them they disappeared. i walked over to some tombstones and saw titles of threads that has long since been closed and removed. other tombstones had offensive posts and pictures that had been removed. i could hear the whines of banned members and those who hate everything on neowin but don't leave. a wolf howled in the distance. i suddenly felt a wave of sadness, fear, and horror rush through me and it made me shiver, although i wasn't cold. i ran to the gate but it had silently closed behind me. i struggled to open it and, finally, with all the strength i could muster, i opened it and ran to the safety of the regular forums.

Brilliant!

Well done! Full marks.

Scary place in there, isn't it?

Oh dear. Someone goes TOO far. aem4162, poor you, must of been a scary experience! :) Did you subscribe to Neowin just to get over the pain of it and come back to reality? ;)

JMann

like i said earlier, i don't wake up screaming as much as i used to, so i must be getting over the experience. i sub'd because i love neowin :wub:

    • If you have a TV in your living room, chances are you can probably just use the Steam Link app and play your huge PC in big picture mode, effectively giving you the Steam Machine experience to see if you'd actually like it. The good news is the Steam Machine can have it's drives upgraded. It has a USB-C 10Gbs port as well, so the 512GB drive could be quickly moved to an external enclosure and repurposed.
    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
    • A bit like the steamdeck, this probably isn't for you.
    • Gamers Nexus already did their review, and building your own will be faster and cheaper, so not very convincing.
