Funniest/weird/sad things on Neowin


Recommended Posts

Wow, I'm impressed. You don't even know this person, there's no way you even know the whole story, and you're kicking a banned person while they're down with no way to defend themselves. Good job assuming you know what his situation was. I don't know him either...

Well, the situation he posted about was a thread somewhere on here at some time. Do we need more than the information from the person's mouth itself? He had an underage-girl fetish and he said so. I'm pretty sure we know more about than you, since we were here for it. Like you said, it's not like you know him either.

Well from what he said, those accusations are an accepted fact on Neowin. I doubt he'd say it unless he knew that other members would remember and back up those claims. I doubt you'd have a clue. He obviously does because he was there when whatever threads/PMs happened.

So umm, I can't see any rules broken by his post, can anyone else?

Oh, and I wouldn't expect you to respect or be respected by anyone here yet, but for long standing members it's a bit different.

Back on topic....some of the mods here are funny/weird/sad but I can't think of much else.

I think what Weebis means is that Truten was banned for breaking no rules, but instead because he was disliked by member(s?) of staff. Acting on personal feelings when no rules have been broken at all - is unprofessional. The staff of Neowin can do as they please, however doing so in this manner may be exposing major personality flaws.

From <snipped>'s 1000th post, he contributes almost 2000 kind words thanking Neowin and it's community and then the response goes something like:

Thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks. And then Keldyn closes the thread with the comment:

"You've had your moment Ryan. Time to put this one to rest." And then Truten is banned. The word 'dodgy' comes to mind...

I thought that was kind of odd, as well. However, given the experience I have had with the staff here, I don't think any of them would be that petty.

Dodgy has nothing to do with it... the background on why we banned him was extensive... and we dont' discuss other members status... but suffice it to say we had more than enough reason to ban him.

Does anyone remember that "WilliamHook" dude who kept on going on about Neowin 5?

I remember him making a forum called "William Hook Forums", (as if you'd make a forum under your own name!).

I think he got banned, after being really annoying :p

got 'im https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showuser=94138

Members always think that others were banned for a specific comment or post. Typically, however, they were just the straw that broke the camel's back. Such a decision may very well have been contemplated for weeks prior to their implementation.

Anybody remember Power User?, that theme kicked ass.

Then there was the thread about how to clean sperm off a graphics card. :|

Well, if you saw the graphics card, you would know why.

And what else do you use as thermal paste if you're all out?

Dude... That girl in his photo can't be older than 13/14 (see attachment) :x. It's just so wrong. I can't believe the mods have never deleted it -- it's clearly jailbait :ninja:.

    • Anthropic introduces Claude Tag, a new AI teammate for Slack by Fiza Ali Anthropic has announced Claude Tag, a new feature that lets teams work with Claude directly inside Slack. The idea is simple: once Claude is added to a Slack workspace and given access to selected channels, users can tag @Claude in conversations and assign tasks. Claude can then work through those requests using connected tools and data sources before posting its results back into a Slack thread. What makes Claude Tag different from a typical chatbot is that it's designed to operate as a shared assistant for an entire team rather than a single user. Everyone in a channel interacts with the same Claude instance. This allows the team members to see ongoing work and continue tasks started by others. Furthermore, Anthropic says the AI can build context over time by following conversations in channels where it has permission to operate. This means users don't have to repeatedly provide the same background information for every request. The system is also designed for asynchronous work. Instead of waiting for responses in a chat window, users can assign a task to Claude and return later once the work is complete. Anthropic says Claude can break larger requests into multiple steps and use connected tools to complete them. Moreover, the system can also schedule follow-up tasks and continue working on projects over extended periods. Another feature allows Claude to keep the users updated and follow up on unresolved tasks when its optional "ambient" mode is enabled. The company says the tool is already being used internally for software development, data analysis, support workflows, and debugging. According to Anthropic, around 65% of its product team's code is now generated through its internal version of Claude Tag. For organisations concerned about security, administrators can control which channels, tools, and data sources Claude can access. Separate Claude instances can also be configured for different departments, helping keep information isolated between teams. Administrators can also monitor activity logs, review completed tasks, and set spending limits at both the organisation and channel level. Claude Tag is now available in beta for Claude Enterprise and Claude Team customers and runs on Claude Opus 4.8 that was announced this May. The feature will also replace Anthropic's existing Claude in Slack application, with current users able to migrate within a 30-day migration window. Lastly, eligible customers will receive introductory credits to help teams evaluate the new experience.
    • Beats Studio Pro wireless over-ear ANC headphones drop to their lowest price yet by Fiza Ali Amazon is currently offering the Beats Studio Pro headphones at their all-time low price. The Studio Pro use 40mm active drivers which are designed to improve clarity and reduce distortion compared to previous models, with up to an 80% improvement over the Beats Studio3 Wireless. A built-in digital processor adjusts frequency response to keep the sound balanced rather than overly boosted in any one area. They also include Active Noise Cancelling that adapts to your surroundings to reduce background noise along with a Transparency mode that lets outside sound in when you need awareness of what’s going on around you. Furthermore, the headphones support personalised Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking as well as Dolby Atmos playback on supported content. Moreover, built-in voice-targeting microphones improve call quality. You can also switch between three sound profiles including Beats Signature for balanced music playback, Entertainment for films and gaming, and Conversation for clearer voice in calls and podcasts. Physically, they are designed to be worn for long periods without feeling heavy or awkward. The ear cushions use UltraPlush engineered leather while metal sliders allow you to adjust the fit. On the connectivity side, the Studio Pro use Class 1 Bluetooth for a stable, long-range wireless connection. There is also a 3.5mm input if you want to plug in directly, including use with in-flight entertainment systems. Controls are located on the headphones and include a "b" button for music and call control, a volume rocker, and a multifunction button used for switching listening modes, EQ settings, power, and pairing. In addition, the headphones offer integration with both Apple and Android devices. On Apple devices, they support one-touch pairing with iCloud-linked devices, hands-free Siri access, Find My tracking based on last connected location, and automatic software updates. On Android devices, they support Google Fast Pair, Audio Switch between compatible devices, and Google Find My Device tracking, with additional features available through the Beats app. When it comes to the battery performance, it is rated at up to 40 hours of listening time with ANC turned off, and up to 24 hours with ANC or Transparency mode enabled. A 10-minute Fast Fuel charge should provide up to 4 hours of playback. Finally, the headphones use a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and charge via USB-C.
