Well you see I was out walking my girlfriends sisters dog when I noticed that in the distance there was this weird light so I approached it to find out what was generating such a huge light when I passed by an old cinema complex that was only airing one film so I went inside to watch it when I met a friend of mine there and then he was telling me about this time his brother and him were at the gym doing their usual workouts and then he saw this bear casually walking past the outside window so he walked outside and saw a sheriff who told him that the bear was set free because the owner decided it would be healthy for the bear to get some air but in actual fact it wasn't a real bear but a convict who was trying to escape from prison as he once stole bread from an expensive bakery and then was sent on a ship to a foreign country but didn't know how to speak the language so he decided to take lessons but when he met his teacher he discovered that it was his true love and the two of them which are now good friends of mine said "Oh hey you should check out this site called Neowin it's really cool!"

Actually, James Tingle recommended neowin to me in 2000 and I was a member then, but because of joining the *** I wasn't on the Internet for a couple of years and missed out and rejoined after leaving in 2006 and been a member ever since. I do recall Mr. Parker getting a little hot under the collar because neowin.net just exploded onto the sense and aggressively expanded. I am 99.9% sure at one point neowin did close their doors and then decided to come back.

I think the webpage was grey with a light grey window stating that neowin has closed and a brief statement from Steve stating the reason for closing. I was gutted at the announcement but it was short lived as neowin was back and the only other time it's been off line was when one of the servers got a little wet.

I lost touch with James and last I heard he was doing a Masters Degree in Mathematics (which gives me a migraine just thinking about it) and was trying to sail around the coast... neowin as we know it now is nothing compared to neowin in 2000. It's a former shadow of itself, fully HTML5 and CSS3 with one of the best front end websites on the Internet.

I just remembered James T software, it was called Virtualnews, god that brings back memories. I was a client of Virtualnews as well and owned a license as well. :)

    • 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)

      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.
