Neowin Bi-weekly Photography Assignment 1: Light


Recommended Posts

Should we label it as part of the contest since it goes into the Neowin monthly thread?

Is tasteful (subjective) nudity allowed for this contest even though it not for the main photo thread?

I do hope this is taken seriously and several people contribute. Neowin needs a more active photo-group. Many people submit to the monthy thread but thread like this help people evolve and learn from others.

Unfortunately any form of nudity isn't allowed on Neowin, artistic or otherwise. I appreciate it limits a lot, it's a shame - but the user base cannot be guaranteed to be over 18, so no go!

I hope it's taken seriously too! I'm glad to see a good few more pictures.

Some amazing entries so far, guys!

In fact I have an entry of my own, Jared Leto of 30 Seconds To Mars singing and playing Capricorn on his own.

This is why I wait ages to claim front row :p

No where near as good as some of yours, but this was taken using only a basic digital camera, not long 'till i can afford my Canon :D

My entry. I have the original somewhere, but htis is just the low res vers.

Edit: Oops, I just read the rest of the posts and pics taken before the competition are not allowed. Guess I can't enter with this then, but please comment regardless.

I can do that, but new entries might come in, so its slightly unfair

Wouldn't it be COMPLETELY unfair to vote now if people can still submit photos? If I vote now, and "bob" submits a truly awesome picture after I've voted, then I can't vote for him any more...

I agree.

Hmm, point taken.

Thing is, if this is to happen every 2 weeks, I'd like to give a full weeks notice to get your votes in, you can wait till a day prior if you so wish - but this is just a way to get everyone to make sure their entries are in early, and on time!

I'll think about other ways I can do this though.

why not make an early deadline and a final deadline for pics, the final deadline marking the end of the two weeks, and the early deadline marking the start of when the voting can begin. This way, anybody that has their pic in by the "real" (early) deadline has the advantage of having a fair vote for their photo.

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.
    • 26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

    • The FIFA World Cup is not US centric.
    • It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
