What kind of a moron do you have to be to buy this thing over the internet.. for $30. You can probably find something like it at ****ing wallmart for $5.

But, could whoever is responsible for picking the ads on Neowin please kick the fine folks at SmartSpin sqaure in the nuts? Right in the goddamm macidamians. I really would apreciate it if someone would do that to them. :angry:

I wouldn't be so annoying if it was tech-releated.. no, scratch that: It would still be very annoying even if it was tech-related.

Please, no more of this crap. :no:

We come here to read the articles and the news, not to be subjected to some idiot blathering on about storage containers. I suppose it's probably a nice fat cash cow for you, Neowin, but ask yourself how profitable it really is if it's gonna drive your readership away.

So you're saying that the admins here intentionally looked for the most annoying ads in order to make more money?

You're really a jackass. Read around a little bit more, and you will see different. I remember when here only used Google ads because of how frequent popups were.

Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if Neowin actually didn't make enough money to justify their server costs anyway.

Can we not have stuff like this? Don't you guys screen the ads?

I just about jumped out of my chair this morning when some teleshopper voice starting trying to sell me this junk.

rofl agreed. Honestly... These ads annoy me to no end... I see them on other sites though, not neowin just yet.

I was actually just coming to this S&FI to make a thread about these ads. 

It's the only type of ad that annoys me worse than Pop-ups.  And I block Pop-ups.

thats why i came here too... i understand that ads are integral for neowin running to minimize on costs, but do we have to have audio ads? i was listening to music pretty loud and couldnt figure out what was going on, because i know my songs dont try to sell me things.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By ikjadoon · Posted

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Danielx64 · Posted

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
