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

    • Can you read? I've said I'm willing to pay more for a notchless (no notch) 3:2 screen.
    • Not even an OLED display on the laptops. Also it seems that the laptop design isn't the same as the Surface Ultra model. Looks like bargain bin at high prices.
    • make your own notch - it's not that hard
    • VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.

    • OK, now ask yourself how are they going to enforce that law? By requiring every single adult to prove their age and provide their legal identity documents to an UNREGULATED 3rd party company that already has a long track record of multiple data breaches. Not to mention, parliament have voted AGAINST this ban, twice, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. So, where's the democracy here, because that looks like dictatorship to me. The solution here is parental responsibility, not government control. Run some public service announcements on TV and UK social media teaching parents how to setup parental controls. That's already been proven to actually work. But the, this is not and has NEVER been about keeping kids safe. It's about control and monitoring. Watching what you're doing online and controlling what you can see and what you can say.
