I joined because I like how active it is, with its many different forums

What first brought me here was Autopatcher, back when it was in full swing (I mean full)

I've come back because, I had a good look around and it was a cross between Bleeping Computer and here

I asked a Mod there for a little help, and I'm still waiting for the reply.

Whereas here the Mods are very (I mean very) quick and helpful all the time.

Basically it was the Mods here that was the icing on the top. I'll see how things go for a while.

Oh and I like "Activity" window, that helps too.

I suppose the only thing I don't like is the huge banners, I think its the members signatures, all over the place.

I find that a real put off, but I suppose its in grained now, so no use arguing about all those ads !

Anyway, thanks for having me so far. And to the active Mods: your good work is noticed :)

I found it like yesterday, and I don't remember how I did it... Strange. But I think it was through a Google search, I was searching for something - Windows related I suppose. Great site, can't say the same thing about the members though :p

...nah, just kidding. I love you all!

Friend told me about it one day, and I was also getting sick of hearing him talk about "Just reading forums" and I got to the point were I thought... "link me to this forum you go on so much", and it was Neowin.

Was interesting so I registerd.

*Note: NiceCarpet-ng. Got me into it :D

A google search brought me to an article listed on the BPN, and I noticed that I pretty much liked all of the news listed there. I checked it casually for about a year or so in the Lo-Fi version (that's what google brought me to), not realizing that it was actually a huge site and forum!

After clicking the full-site button, it changed my homepage and news source forever :p

Searching for information during the Neptune and then Whistler betas brought me to this site. I can still remember what the front page looked like. Thinking about it makes me miss college and the simple life... but only for a moment.

ArtScott, welcome to neowin. I see so many of the "1 post" wanderers here and there. So amazing the most people that contribute to this thread has only a couple post and they went silent for ever.

    • The memory and nvme can be swapped and upgraded with standard parts. But the GPU cannot, which is the weakest part of the box. It's a dead product at these prices.
    • Sounds like the debloated build you are running is missing some components that the Photos app and Snipping Tool rely on.
    • Apparently, Microsoft doesn't use water in their taps, washrooms or clean their facility. /sarc
    • Wow, throwback.  VERY VERY briefly - but realised that it wasn't the language I needed for the tasks I was taking on.
    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
