[Updated] Why Subscribe to Neowin?


Recommended Posts

I think the emphasis on paying the subscription should be to support the site and not for what you receive for doing so. If you are here alot, and you enjoy your time or it helps you with tec info, i think you should if you can afford it, pay the subscription.

ya we can very well see u spend ur whole day on NEOWIN

few months ago someone start dreaming about neowin in sleep .........

don't worry u will also come in same situation in few months ......

I won't, I'm not that 'Sad', that the only thing I can think about is Neowin.

I think if you use Neowin alot or are on there alot the most of you can do is Subscribe to help the site out its not because people dream of it, yeah we joke about it but we aren't that sad.

@ Abhishek Kapoor -

I think that was me

In this thread

Dont worry, I've got over it now... I can safely dream about abducting children again :)

ohh ya u r the same person ...HOW are you ? now u r fine ....

now i think u don't think about neowin ..........

so i think now a days u see lots of michael jackson movies or songs thats why u gream about abducting children

DUDE .. excess of everything is BAD .... SO be in ur LIMITS ..... :laugh:

and after that don't start watching PORN to much

I've been thinking about it, just mainly to help support the site because I like it and use it alot :)

However, like others are saying, I don't think I should have to see the ads if I'm PAYING.

Most sites you pay for don't have any.

I subscribed because I've been visiting this site since oh... 2001? It's only fair, I figure I've cost them more than the $16AU subscription in bandwidth over the years! Also, I personally don't mind having the ads still, they never bothered me in the past, they still don't! (except the inline ads that sometimes come up and stay for no reason until you find another inline ad and hover over it and release, but you get that!)

Seriously, they really don't get in the way at all. Heck, I use Adblock but I've turned it off specifically for Neowin even though I'm a subscriber. If it's a site you like and you want to support, why complain?

I subscribed yesterday because I finally decided how much I love Neowin and wanted to support it, for all the hard work NeoBond and other staff have done!

I cannot wait till I get my new sig, coloured name, avator and stuff! Looking forward to it! :D:D:D

I have to say I've noenstly not noticed any ads... and the reason for that is proberbly because I don't go around looking for them. I haven't noticed any which are blatently obvious and there aren't any on the forums are there? I'm not using an ad-blocker, before you ask.

Because the ads are not very noticable to some, Neobond should keep them for subscribed members in my opinion because it brings him more money, which is what he needs to keep the forums running smoothly, and also he deserves it for all his hard work and time.

About the "Boobies" topic: That sounds... interesting! :p :p :p

How long does it take for you guys to get 'subbed' i 'upgraded' via NoChex 2 days ago and i'm still waiting for an Admin to get round to it?

Putting you in the Subscriber still is, as far as I know, a manual process. You'll need to wait till the responsible admin, Redmak, finished the file.

Yeh, I subscribed last week and I think it took three to four days, because it's manual. You should definately get into it before the end of the week.

Did you use PayPal?

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
    • you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
