Our neowin Clubs have gone, and it's ?3.99 to create clubs now :angry::

"At the moment there is no ongoing charge for running a Club but, in the future, we will introduce a fee (to be determined), which will be due every 30 days. We will not start charging a recurring fee earlier than 31st March 2009."

Who's gonna stump up for the "Official Neowin Club"?

They said clubs would cost a few weeks back when the beta kicked off.

I don't mind helping out towards one if we get a big enough NW base, but I'll hold out for now till things smooth out and we see how useful clubs could be.

32 people is the maximum that can join a club, 1 owner and 4 sub-owners I think.

Whats so special about a club that classifies it as premium content...?

Just wondering... not trolling

Not entirely sure all that's planned for them so far.

From the beta it was like a clan hideout.

Like an apartment, but it's called the clubhouse and up to 32 club members can occupy it at a time. Whoever buys it is clubleader, and you can have 4 sub-leaders.

There's a calendar and other stuff attached to update members. And in the beta there was a whiteboard... omgzzz! Haha.

Basically it looks like something that's clan/group orientated.

At the moment the maximum amount of people you can get in an apartment is 16.

I do think Neowin should have an official club though. Possibly run buy a member of staff?

I'd chip in

I've just been paid recently so we'll see :p

I'd rather get an idea of how many people on NW will actually first of all

a) Use their PS3 (we have a lot of actives in the PS3 forum who don't actually play games on their PS3s or even use it)

and

b) Have somewhat of an interest in Home, at least enough to say they'll use or keep track of the service if they ain't that keen just now

Cause if we only have like 6 potential members, it's not worth it :p There's a reason it's at a 32 cap!

Until I know more about clubs and their future potential, I'm a bit reluctant to pay for one as well. Fair enough there's no potential monthly fee till next year, but does that mean next year is when the big updates to them are planned?

Okay, I checked my bank balance and as I said just paid.

So, Neowin club, just search for "Neowin"

Only going to accept invites from people who actually use their PS3, as the club fills up at 32.

But to be honest I don't even know if we have 32 active PS3 NW members :laugh:

You think Home is THAT popular around here? LOL :laugh:

I'll hand out free booze to everyone if we reach 32 members by Christmas.

By the way it took me ages to get signed in :(

    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates

      By erpster3 · Posted

      MVS subscribers got the proper 26200.8655 Win11 25H2 ISO downloads as of 6/16/2026 avoiding this whole MCT fiasco by MS. I'll obtain the official 8655 MVS ISO download instead.

      too bad the "backend" June 2026 ESD files are still at build 26200.8653 and not at the correct build 26200.8655 release. I'll avoid using the MCT for several weeks until late July 2026
    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By Nas · Posted

      Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.
