Neowin is a good example of why I love to use forums.

Ah, other forums. What's the point of having a community where the minority of people can't express their opinion? There is no progress, only stagnant fanboy-ism and piety. Nothing more than cheering the heroes and booing the villains.

Neowin doesn't have fanboys. There are no white knights that step in to defend the administration if they are criticized.

Administrators here love critique, they love to listen and improve. That is why neowin is so great. And I find it unique that a forum is like that.

Also the moderators on staff have historically been very fair and understanding. They are staunch and liberal and I'm surprised to see that their is almost no censorship here.

Very often is their any deleting here. Nor moving. It's simply a warning just in case it were to happen.

This forum is a haven of intellectual progress by far. Surpassing any educational institution I have seen.

Neobond we should be paying YOU tuition.

Over the years Neowin has been a haven for entertainment and troubleshooting for me. It's my one stop shop for answers. I've even recomended people I know sign up and use the forum as its so handy.

/Praise Neowin

Even the 1 post wonders make it entertaining

We all make it what it is.

It's certainly one the best out there...compared to, say, the Gamespot forums. Oh god...I cringe every time I look at their message boards; ****ing retards or children who can't make complete sentences bitching about the tiniest details of IRRELEVANT issues.

...yeah, neowin's good...

Amen to that. Neowin is freaking great. It's much better than say, on NZ's GPStore comment section. I lol every time I see that. Especially the Tags for 360 and PS3 products, and Halo 3 etc..."ps3 killer", "xbox sucks", "die microsoft", "sony fails", stuff like that. Epic win. Newin's good for stuff like that. Rock on Neowin!

I have been searching for my main PC related forum for a few weeks now after getting into PC gaming/upgrading etc. And have to say, this forum has the most eye pleasing graphics, the largest array of subjects/boards, and isnt dominated with hot-headed teens who chat rubbish.

All in all, a great forum!

Ah, other forums. What's the point of having a community where the minority of people can't express their opinion? There is no progress, only stagnant fanboy-ism and piety. Nothing more than cheering the heroes and booing the villains.

There are limits to "opinion expressing" just so you know :D

Neowin doesn't have fanboys. There are no white knights that step in to defend the administration if they are criticized.

They just haven't reared their ugly head yet. But there are fanboys. I have to say Neowin is one of the better moderated forums though.

Otherwise, welcome to the forums. :)

aww thanks :blush: but you guys really make the community, all we do is provide the means and try to keep the peace. Listening to your community is what every forum should be about because we gave this to you to build upon.

can we have our cookies now? :p

Just to re-iterate what I put in my blog, Neowin is like an old pair of pants, you get new ones come along but you always go back to the best, most comfortable pair.

I don't agree with the no fanboys comment either, but I've grown kind of used to that and don't take it as seriously as I once did, hehe. I think I've moved on to mostly similing at those kind of posts instead. :) Especially when it's old and tired arguments being used.

Yes, Neowin is an example of a quite encompassing community that covers so many subjects, way beyond Windows that one may think at first sight and hearing the name. What I like seeing most are those funny threads that sometimes pop up, heh. Oh, and being early on informing myself on computing news. While the journalism may be more or less "amateurish" at times (not automatically a bad thing though), the news often come quickly and accurately.

    • Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky      
    • Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
