I remember browsing Winbeta.org and I think I noticed Neowin.net as a source for one of their articles. The rest is history.

Exactly how I came across Neowin. Back at that stage I was looking for info on the new messenger beta or WMP 9 or something like that.

Neowin is one of the most informative, friendly and visually pleasing websites I've been to - that's what keeps me coming back.

Hello, I come in peace.

I found Neowin a few months ago when I bought a new pc with Vista on it. I went searching for a forum that could help me with some problem I had. I see that I did not post here at that time so I'm guessing I may have found my answer here simply by doing a search.

And now, I have yet another important question and I'm off to ask that question in the appropriate forum.

Aww lookit the good wittle noobie. Welcome! And awesome you've already got the system figured out!

I er found this place actually looking for... Uh... Do I want to take this where I was going to... Um...

Nah; I remember looking for Linux help about a month prior to when I joined and finally I made an account to ask a question. I wasn't really that active and still can't seem to put the effort into post-whoring or even being an amazing hand in the forums I'm good at but I'm always here.

WOW... I'm almost at 4 years... As if... I'm gonna have start crafting an anniversary post. Funny thing is is very few people even know I'm here. I almost like it that way.

A Web search led me here to a thread dealing with how to download the Realtek R 2.06 ALC888 Driver.

The link was to Major Geeks whaich this time worked perfectly :yes:

Many thanks to whoever posted that thread and greetings to all.

Thanks google. I can't remember what I was looking for but I ended up here and I said to myself "this look serious website, kind like Geekzone.fr where I have my habits". So I registered and more than a year after (meaning about a week now) I start posting. And it can't be bad for my english. :D

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
    • How do you connect 5.1 Speakers to this thing?
    • I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
