Well the first taste of Neowin I got was when I was searching for a way to patch the uxtheme.dll (if that's what it was called). I was looking into trying to make my crappy XP laptop look and feel like a Mac, and I think I stumbled on this site whilst searching for the patch. Ironically, I only signed up when I had my new Mac, and I've been in and out most of the time. Nowadays, I mostly visit TUAW and MacTalk, with occasional visits to Neowin to see what the other companies (Microsoft, Opera, etc.) are up to.

I found the forum a couple of different times, but I only registered now.

I decided to sign up when I searched RocketDock forums on Google. This site was the first result, and I kinda liked the look of it.

A friend told me. I'm bored at work, and one thing I love to do is find **** on the net, and introduce it to folks, and see the rise I get. I try to always get a good rise of course, but it's fun to find things on other boards, share them with other groups...and basically help stuff to get around.

You'll find one thing I love to post is cool inventions. In fact, I'm hopefully starting a blog one day that would feature just that, as that is where my real passion lies. Thanks for letting me in. Hopefully I'll share some good stuff! Just found the coolest invention ever can't wait to share it!

i registered after somebody posted a link to one of my YouTube videos and made fun of it, and later put the link to the thread in front of me.

that thread is deleted now, thanks god

i realized what a great place Neowin was, in between sending and reading hatemail via PM, so i forgot about that idiot and started posting as if i just dropped in from Google

Hi my name is teddy and I'm from Lebanon...

i had installed the new Microsoft OS and installed Firefox as it is my favorite web browser

i noticed that Firefox hadn't the tab preview implemented yet so i googled about that topic

to find out more about it and i ended up in these forums ....

i liked the conversations i read in here.

there seems to be a lot of nice people.

so i decided this is a good place to share and get knowledge .... and i ended up registering.

So....ummm....yeah .... that's it.

    • But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.
    • Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
