:&: I don't want my thread buried in the thread cemetery. I don't want to see my thread again. :&:

[/Ramones]

Does anyone know where is the link for the Neowin Back Stage Pass? I can't find it.

Content that isn't PG-13 cannot stay in the public areas.

Subscribers get porn? Don't they know it's free on Google.....

Yea, but not of each other. :rofl:

We don't get "pron", we get to to admire a good portion of the female body and discuss it. :p

Of course as mentioned there are also other things besides that that can't be kept in the public part of the forum that we have there.

Quite so, I need to read BSP more often to see what kind of goodies are there again.

They're the kind of goodies that rappy's hard drive is full of :p + other NSFW subjects (but mostly rappy and his babes)

isn't that what the Members' Metropolis is for?

Think of this as the NC-17 forum :p

Members Metropolis is protected from guests and search engines but our 13 year old members can still wander in there and get hopelessly lost in pile of teenage sexual angst. We still want to limit that language that they hear and the content of what they see.

I wouldn't call it Back Stage Pass, but "Rappy's Hard Drive" LOL

We have given enough away already, I think what happens in BSP, stays in BSP :)

I can just see the amount of subscribers going up now :p

I can list a few reasons why Neowin is secured against this.

1) it says you must be 18 (i think) years or older, OR with parents permission.

- Parents should know what their kids are browsing on the internet at all times.

2) there is a thread inside BSP, telling people that is not safe for work usage.

also, what stops a 13 year old from disabling the google preference filter, and surfing the images? Samething, only ours is more tasteful :)

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Visual Studio finally gets long-awaited feature that developers will love

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Visual Studio finally gets long-awaited feature that developers will love by Usama Jawad Visual Studio Code is Microsoft's popular, lightweight, open-source code editor, it is actually Visual Studio that is the company's flagship integrated development environment (IDE). Although the IDE already offers a boatload of useful features for developers, Microsoft has finally introduced a long-requested capability that will be loved by many. While developers have already been able to create Git pull requests (PRs) directly within Visual Studio for the past couple of years, it had not been possible to review a PR without switching to the browser, until now. Microsoft revealed in December 2025 that it is working on UX that enables developers to do just that, and fast-forward to June 2026, and Visual Studio finally has native capabilities to open and inspect a PR, discuss feedback, and wrap up the review, all without switching to the browser. This integration works for both GitHub and Azure DevOps (including on-prem). Developers have access to multiple surfaces to open a PR, including Git Repository, Git Changes, and the Git menu in Visual Studio. Once you open a PR, all the important details will be immediately visible to you, from where you can navigate to various levels of granularity and branch states, depending on the reviews that you are engaged in. As you would expect, you also get a diff view that enables you to see code changes inline or side-by-side in a separate panel. You can also review commit-by-commit. Additionally, this UX fosters collaboration as you can leave comments, reply to threads, and resolve conversations easily. Naturally, you can also leverage Copilot to apply a code suggestion to fix a potential issue. When you are done, you have the ability to approve, complete, and merge the PR. This is a pretty major feature as it has been requested heavily for the past few years. You can try it out in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, made available here recently. Microsoft plans to enhance this experience further in future releases with comment filtering, a timeline of PR activity, and more.

    • Is AI actually replacing web developers in 2026 or just changing how they work?

      By FBSPL · Posted

      Around 68% of developers are now using AI to generate code during development, and some experts are saying that a single developer using AI tools can now do the work of an entire team of 4 to 5 engineers.  According to Figma's State of the Designer 2026 report, 72% of designers now use generative AI in their workflows and 91% say it improves the quality of their work, not just their speed.  But does this mean web developers and designers are becoming less relevant, or are they simply evolving into a different kind of role? Would love to hear from developers and designers here has AI made your job easier, or do you feel threatened by how fast these tools are improving
