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

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:.

    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging. Users can capture photos and videos hands-free using voice commands. Meta claims more than eight hours of battery life, while the portable charging case can provide up to 40 additional hours. As expected, Meta Glasses come pre-loaded with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from day one. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs with improved multimodal capabilities. The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By fintechfooty · Posted

      is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.

    • TerraMaster F2-425 Pro review: a low-powered Intel NAS that ships with AI (OpenClaw)

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.
