How can you help Neowin help you?


Recommended Posts

I updated my subscription a few weeks ago. Out of curiosity, how much is the hosting, bandwidth, etc. per month (in Euro or dollar)?

How will the beer be split between the US and EU folks? :laugh:

we all know the american ability to drink lots /sarcasm/

maybe its who can clean the fund first?

You're not ;)

Excellent, feels better yeah?

Meh - I can't really drink at the moment - dieting and alcohol doesn't seem to work - so someone else can get drunk for me.

Call it "drunk by proxy" - but am serious, we need Neobond with one eyebrow ;)

I think we should be allowed to rub Neobonds head so we can make a wish! :p

Hows the Jaw NJ?

Jaw is OK, but teeth and moreover gums aren't great - gonna lose more teeth :(

Another reason I am staying away from cigs and alcohol right now.

That sucks having to loose more, although I guess it beats being in pain! At least by the laws of Karma you should have some good fortune soon

Yup, got it back on this weekend - had some mates help me. It's only held on by the locks as the hinges as the door isn't needed as a "door" anymore. Got to remove it again to get the sofa in later but that can be done as and when.

On a funny note - my GF was out, and my mate was asking "What exactly hit you then?". I show him the spring mounted arm, and we thought it was interesting to see how strong it was, so we were going to reset the spring and hold a steel bar over it to see how much damage was done. I'm there pulling the lever down when my GF pops her head over the balkony and yells at me to leave it alone - like it didn't do enough damage last time.

Anyhow, I digress - this thread is about shaving Neobond's eyebrow off or something - not my jaw :)

Lol. Yeah i wouldnt start messing with it again personally.

So, when do we get these pics of my Bond with his shaved eyebrow?

I sent money last night, but I don't seem to be on the list.

That's not whats bothering me, it's the fact that now I'm not sure if you actually got the money, which would mean either A) I sent it to the wrong person (though I made sure i copied and pasted the email address you gave in the first post) or B) Paypal is being slow, or has some other problem with my account.

Being at work right now I can't check paypal, but will as soon as I get home.

Can you put me at ease and confirm whether or not you've actually received anything from me? (I do hope i remember to put my username)

I think I remember the name on the account which I sent to was Kim something? I think...

Edited by Redmak
We got it :). Very generous... Thanks

Paypal wasn't slow. I couldn't connect the email address to a Neowin account

Ahh, phew! So was just a silly error on my part (forgetting to leave my username) that's a relief.

And no problem, you guys deserve it. :)

    • Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.4 changelog: Motrix Next 3.9.4 promotes the 3.9.4 beta cycle to stable. This release refreshes bundled engine binaries, improves task detail readability and copy actions, expands link handling for magnet and ED2K workflows, polishes responsive navigation and text wrapping, updates browser extension documentation, and refines network preference controls. New Features Task Detail copy actions — Added copyable values for task metadata and reusable render functions for long text fields. Magnet and ED2K lifecycle support — Added task lifecycle handling for magnet and ED2K links. History cleanup for deleted tasks — Deleted tasks can now remove matching history records. User-Agent management — Added user-agent management and improved related network preference controls. Browser extension documentation — Added the Firefox Add-ons link for the Motrix Next extension. Improvements Engine binaries — Updated bundled binaries for supported architectures. Task Detail readability — Long task names, URLs, tracker values, and copyable metadata now render more clearly.

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
    • One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.
