Why would I want to make "The Hum's Real World News" a sub forum as well? Before all the changes, it was already a parent forum.. those forums are news related and need to stay as such in that category. On topic and Off topic separated.

Plus "The Daily Hum" is too confusing for new lurkers & members.

As much as Hum posts interesting news I like the fact we can now have RWI in a separate section.

I must agree ... mixing odd News and more serious debatable issues was very confusing.

I was sure it would not last.

And much thanks for the honor of 'The Hum's Real News'. ;)

I am glad RWI is back, but "The Hum's Real World News"...

How about this way?

Real World News:

>Real World Issues

>The Daily Hum

>Area 51 (It's a Conspiracy!)

>Science Discussion & News

Huh? So the top forum name makes sense to new users? "The Hum's Real World News" ? I guess I am not following your logic...if one can not figure out what The Daily Hum is all about and it made no sense why was it ever approved in the first place.

I dunno Fresh, I guess I am appealing to common sense and hoping that any new member looks around first before s/he posts, I am happy with the name of that forum it is unique to Neowin and short of dumbing everything down so a 5 year old can understand it I'm going to opt to leave as is.

The forum index and structure has already been made a lot easier to browse with categories (names) finally living up to their proper sections, granted all the OT forum categories aren't bunched together but there is a reason for that, General Discussion was much more popular at the top (where it is now) but I don't think it's a good idea to move all the tech forums to the bottom either, so it's a trade off between sections.

Plus the fact that forum titles are now on 2 lines, not 3 which makes browsing the index a lot quicker!

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.

      ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.

      Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
