News Submission Q&A

This Q&A was designed to help answer some of the most common questions that people have when it comes to submitting news. If you would like anything added, or have a question to ask, feel free to PM me explaining your question.

Q: I submitted my article, but it didn't appear on the main page yet!

A:When you submit a news article, it gets put into a news queue where the news staff must view and approve your topic. This process can take from a few minutes up to a few hours -we suggest you be patient.

Q: I've waited more than a few hours, even a day and my story hasn't been put on the frontpage. Whats wrong?

A: The most likely explanation for this problem is that there is something wrong with your article, and it was not approved by the news staff.

Q:Why!?

A: Possible reasons for this include poor article content, no source included (or no additional info if you wrote the story). You can find more reasons on the News guidelines page.

Q:Should i re-submit it?

A: Please do NOT re-submit the same article more than once.

Q: I saw someone post the story I submitted! The nerve! How dare you!

A: We're sorry, see the reasons above. Please remember that we never pick on our members, and always try hard to make them happy!

Yes, they'll edit it. As long as you try and d0n't rite liek thes you'll be fine :)

No, it wont display (edited by:) on the main page.

As long as it's not advertising something. It needs to be main-page wothy, basically meaning something interesting for neowin members to read. If you're talking about using a blog for a source, no.

Or maybe you've just found some news that Neowin doesn't hasn't got to yet

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
