inorder to be a mod, you must memorize the entire rules of neowin, and beable to say them in your sleep. while you keep your eyes open. nono, thats just part 1. part 2 of your test is you must know the names of all active members, and recite them in the style of the admins choosing. part 3 is you must go on a scavanger hunt for some things that are very hard to come by, once you do all of that you are put into a list of people who they will consider being a mod.

thats complete BS by the way.... atleast i think

hi just wondering how do we become a mod do we just report things or are we randomly selected

Please allow me to clarify. Becoming a mod is a very scrutinizing process.

If we see something that catches our eye (such as your avatar, signature, posting style, pictures, etc.), we go to work immediately knowing we've got a potential new staff member!

First, we wait for you to post so we can get your IP address. Then we traceroute it back to your ISP, call them with some crap story about how we're a government agency so they're too scared NOT to hand over your personal information, then we dig up public records until we find your social security number and/or passport (or other country's equivelent of a personal identification number). We then run that which allows us to get all the background information we want including, but not limited to medical records, school records, criminal records, court documents, driving history, marriage/divorce papers, financial documents, etc. From there, we go back as far as we can and begin contacting people directly such as old teachers, bosses, relatives, old girlfriends/boyfriends, neighbors, etc. From there we closely disect everything we've learned and place it all against a thorough psychological profile.

From there, we weed out the bottom 95% which leaves us with the cream of the crop to choose from.

Are YOU Top 5% Material? Are you sure? Still wanna be a mod?

;)

    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more

      By Talys · Posted

      I am not a fan of haptic feedback touchpads. I've owned a Surface Laptop 7 (Snapdragon) with one and a Lenovo Slim (Intel), and I hated both to the point where I purchased different laptops. It's not that they don't work most of the time; it's that they don't work 100% of the time, and there is no advantage from a user's perspective over a good mechanical trackpad like what's on a ThinkPad X1 or a Yoga 9i. I do not believe that I'll buy another haptic feedback touchpad laptop again in the near future.

      Works fine here too. About this build, I don't like to download any kind of Windows, from any site except Microsoft. The mod might work, but I don't know what it's inside. Can contain malware, backdoors... Long time ago I've used something like this but reversed - it was 98se with the look and some functionality  of XP. Or, later XP with Vista look. But I made it myself. Not downloaded from obscure sites.

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Rockstar is preparing to launch Grand Theft Auto VI later this year, but ahead of that, the company has revealed a new offer for some Grand Theft Auto V owners. It today announced that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version owners of the 2013-released title will soon be receiving a free upgrade to the current generation version. The studio released the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto V back in 2022, bringing significant upgrades to the original console editions. This included 60 FPS gameplay at up to 4K resolution, as well as major upgrades to textures, draw distance, and audio. Faster load times, ray tracing elements, and HDR support were also added with it. While this new and enhanced version needed a new purchase of the game to jump in, now Rockstar has decided to make it a free upgrade, dropping the $40 price tag entirely on consoles. "Beginning tomorrow, those who own any PS4 version or the digital Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto V will be able to upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S versions at no additional cost, and experience the best versions of GTA V and GTA Online," said the company in an official blog post. The free upgrade offer will be released tomorrow, June 18, for all Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners of Grand Theft Auto V. Players who will be jumping in on the offer will want to check how to migrate their GTA Online profile from last-generation to current-generation consoles by heading over here. The offer lands ahead of The Kortz Center Heist hitting Grand Theft Auto Online, where players and crews will be tasked with stealing priceless international art from a prestigious gallery in Pacific Bluffs. It doesn't look like Rockstar plans to stop updating its previous game even with Grand Theft Auto VI being on the horizon. The latest title is slated to launch on November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
