I give up....I thought that the people on Neowin could be a little more grown up when it comes to requesting invites like this but I guess I was wrong.

I have officially asked for this thread to be closed as this has quite gotten out of hand.

It's going to happen. The only way to truely handle this is to have a mod set up a locked thread, take PM's from people with invites, post that they're available, and then let the users contact those people. Otherwise there will always be people requesting invitations.

I think the method which is (now 'was' is more accurate :D :( ) used in web2messenger invites (generated urls) are more forum-friendly and fair :) But we cannot expect a similar solution from Microsoft unfortunately...

:yes: But then again, what happens when the mod goes to bed or something? Thery need to have certain mods dedicated to it at certain times. Example: PM Mod #1 between 12:00 and 4:00; PM Mod #2 between 4:00 and 8:00; etc... Otherwise the number of invites someone has doesn't get updated and people's inboxes get filled up even if they don't have any more

    • AV2, successor to popular YouTube, Netflix, Amazon codec AV1, has a hard battle ahead

      By Nas · Posted

      Absolutely NOBODY has suggested such a conclusion. I am affirming the sober reality check that AV2's overall market adoption will take longer than AV1's adoption rate -- which, by the way, is the whole point of the article! While PCI-SIG is productive (on paper), other WGs have created all sorts of confusing progress plans that consumers have tuned-out of their improvements... HTML/W3C, USB, HDMI, BT, WIFI (ieee802.11) as a few other groups where spec naming conventions, split progress paths, overlapping ambitions... I'm not critiquing the AV specs group; I'm simply affirming that adoption for AV2 faces headwinds beyond the macroeconomics of it all.

      No thanks! WebView trash is unacceptable. I only use software that's native.
