Neowin Exclusive Interview with Pete Hines


Recommended Posts

how long does it take to process audio? i, as an proffesional audio engineer, would have done the job well in max 2 hours.

I'm sure you could have done this in 2 hours. However the person who is doing it for us has a job, and a life and cannot do it in 2 hours. However long it takes, it takes, unfortunetly.

by the way, will the link be posted in this forum? or where? sorry im new to neowin...

It'll be posted on the main Neowin page, and I'm sure someone will post it on the ES forums. And I'm sure it'll be Slashdotted, Digged etc. So, yeah we may have to have someone torrent it up in the end.

When you say the "Main Neowin Page" do you mean the Gamer's page? Which is this page:

Or just play neowin.com. This one:

Heh, Pete was surely nice about answering the questions. And when Todd walked in, you sorta felt that "oh you are doing an interview? if you talk about *insert secret thingie here* you will be destroyed!"

People, please. Be a little more patient. I may only be a moderator over on the ES-forums, but spamming the Neowin forums with constant posts like 'is it ready yet?', 'we're gonna raid Beth HQ' etc. will not aid to the process of finalizing this interview.

These guys have granted us all the opportunity to listen in on a spoken interview with Pete. We should not repay that favor by polluting their forums with meaningless posts, only to dissappear without a trace afterwards (which 99% of you guys who suddenly registered yesterday will probably do).

So on behalf of myself (and quite possibly Neowin as well), I ask of you; please give it a rest.

It will be done when it's done. All we can do now is wait...

Thank you,

Milt

Right, my bad. I didn't realize that accessing one's website repeatedly to find information which was promised was a bad thing. LOL

Seriously. There's nothing wrong with wanting to know if there's an estimate time or how the process is going. The mods over on the TES forums are power hungry rent-a-cops. Threads get locked if they don't like the way something smells. It's idiotic.

If someone discusses the Xbox 360 half the time the thread gets locked because a Mod is afraid something might happen.

If someone asks a question about Shadows it's automaticlly locked and directed to a thread created a month ago which hasn't gotten any answers in it.

I was banned because someone was flaming me in my own thread, and I did nothing.

THe mods over there are a joke. In every other forum on the internet, they are a massive joke.

They do a pretty good job overthere.

Sometimes they close to fast but better that than having a spamfest or some trolling.

That said, I'm gonne read through this horrific thread, trying to find any information about the article.

Well as I said, if it wasn't Tuesday it would be Wednesday. It is still Wednesday here, but it is looking less likely it will get done today. I haven't been in contact with the guy who edits it for us, and I'm not going to botehr him anymore, as he is obviously busy.

So all I can say is sorry about the little wait here. And thanks Milt :)

I agree, and this is coming from someone who got a warning for telling a troll to get lost when he was flaming TES and us for liking the games.

They are humans and got fault just like us.

I have to disagree with you. I'm a mod too on a fresh new forum. And I'm not like that.

And on the official TES forum, the mods are doing a fine job, I think. But you have to see, that forum is a not completely free forum. They have to obey the laws set by Bethesda, I think. So don't be hard on them. Yes, sometimes they lock topics too quickly but that's okay.

And Milt! You should see that here we just would like to get updates on the status of the interview. We aren't pressuring just asking for infos. And I think Loc is doin' a fine job answering. So no problem. And some jokes can't hurt, right? Or you don't like them? :p I like you on the TES forum, don't ruin it now.

Anyway, I can't keep up my watch for much longer tonight, for 1 more hour maybe... So I guess I'll have to wait one more day to hear it. :(

But I really appreciate the effort and I won't disappear. Though I'm active on several forums so I won't the top poster but I like this site. One more good thing other then the interview. ;) :D

lol, as in employer, I can say this is unacceptable. But, then again I only live in the real world.

ps

I am very very thankful for all the work everyone is doing dont get me wrong, and take this interview as a priviledge, not a right. However, reading "Wednesday at the latest", then reading no go on the whole wednesday deal, I had to laugh...lol...there i laughed again, sorry.

    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
    • Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
