during the xp beta testing days, ran across wxperience.com and they pointed me here. I don't remember what I was looking for, or if I ever found it?? :ponder:

This is exactly, same place I found neowin also, although I was looking for something about XP, as I had rc2 @ time.

I visted Neowin almost daily (still do) :D , and later became a member.

a friend at work refered me 2 a news artical on the front page. I kept comeing back every no and then, started lurking in the forms for a couple of months, then started posting stupid ?'s like "How do you fit a socket 478 cpu fan on a scoket 423?" no one has still yet answerd that question!

My boardhistory started with board from wxperience. I joined iexbeta after that. They had stuff for windows xp. :) On the homepage of iex were several newsmessages that were from neowin. So i clicked the neowin.net link and i discovered this forum. :)

A few days after i joined iex, i joined neowin. Nice thing about this forum, is that is has one of the best skinning community's inside neowin.

:)

Greetings.

Bathroom wall. I was taking a dump at a local gas station in the san jose area and was reading the wall in the bathroom stall. And it said "For some cool links goto neowin.net" ever since then I have stopped by here once a week to check out whats going on.

God bless that guy who wrote on the wall. So after a few weeks of seing your content I decided to go back and make sure lots more people seen your site. I crossed out most of it and put "Hella Good PORNO at Neowin.net" thats why you have been getting more hits and more people posting ****. Sorry about that. eh all in the name of fun. :lick:

sometime before XP was released I went to google and typed "Windows XP Wallpapers". I downloaded some of them and didn't know it was from Neowin. Several weeks later after another XP site went down the drain I saw a link to Neowin on it and clicked it.

and here u are right ;)

    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram by Aditya Tiwari Meta announced that its Instagram for TV app has arrived on Samsung TVs in the US as part of its latest expansion, giving users one more way to scroll through Reels. The social media giant often comes under scrutiny for the "addictiveness" of its features, which leads people to spend excessive time on the platform. Interestingly, Instagram boss Adam Mosseri described spending 16 hours on the platform as "problematic use" but not "clinical addiction." Mosseri also compared scrolling on Instagram to binge-watching a show on Netflix. Instagram for TV is now available on Samsung TV models released in 2020 or later. The app is already available on Amazon Fire TV and Google TV in the US, which together account for the majority of connected TV devices. The company said it will test several new features to improve the living room and family experience while using Instagram on the big screen. Watching vertical videos on a big screen isn't something many would be excited about. Probably that's why Meta is testing a dedicated home for horizontal videos. Creators will get the opportunity to design content for TV screens and get more ways to reach audiences, according to Meta. If you found an interesting Reel while doomscrolling on your phone, you'll be able to cast it to your TV. The feature is available for testing on Instagram for TV on Google TV and Amazon Fire TV, and it will also support videos from the Saved tab. Instagram for TV will be testing Channels organized around user interests, across genres such as comedy and sports, as well as content from favorite creators. Moreover, you can watch Stories on your TV. While Instagram is known for short-form videos, it's knocking on more doors to keep the audience hooked. The company said it's exploring new content formats for the big screen, including long-form creator content to cover topics in detail, episodic series to build suspense across multiple episodes, and creator live sessions on TV. All of the new updates put Instagram in competition with established giants like YouTube (and Netflix), which already have a robust presence on the big screen. In recent updates, Instagram added the ability to write an individual caption for each carousel image, manually re-order posts, and a paid version of the app.
    • I know RAM and storage prices are high right now, but I think it would have been better to have 1TB as the base level storage, especially as it's supposed to be for gaming. Plus a 2.5gbe ethernet port rather than only 1gbe.
    • I have installed the debloated version of Windows 11 25H2 Pro. I obtained the apps from store.rg-adguard.net. The size of the Photos app window is quite problematic for me; it consistently displays in a 16:9 aspect ratio, resembling a movie theatre screen, and cant remeber its last size and position. The Snipping Tool cannot capture the taskbar. When I select "Window" in capture mode, it allows me to capture menus or individual windows, but I am unable to capture just the taskbar. This functionality was available in version 24! I am on the same version numbers (latesst).
    • I'm already seeing my steam library, still swallowing the 16 Gb of RAM, then looking at the SD storage expansion and saying "what?".
