When you realize that your stark naked while checking Neowin.net........

When you come to the conclusion that "is neowin right for you?"

When people ask what you do for a living and you just blantly say "NEOWIN"

Or you do emotions in real life.... :no: :yes: :unsure:

When you start to Hail Neowin.net as the "Savior to all of Man kind"

Come to think of it I remember Keldyn designing a little wallpaper for me a long while back :p I probably still have it somewhere (i dunno where)... now he's just a lowly moderator ;) Gotta say though Neowin has sure changed a lot since I first came (and no that's not necissarily a bad thing) some completely random things I remember (with no explanations, just random things!): Neowin before Hosttyme, the old theme, when Tingle was still around, scoobie, faction, moretensenj (if i recall correctly he made a big stink about how we deserved what we got on 9/11), when Neobond used his real name around the site... ah the memories :p

And I just had the sudden urge to type this... I hope its not a sign of addiction :/

...when your samurize script includes World News, Neowin News, Neowins Latest Forum Posts.

...when you have to stop lurking and post once a while so that people remember who you are.

...when you think you've lurked for so long that people will look at the joined date, compare it with the post count, and cast you off.

...when people who joined only a month ago have a higher post count that you already and you're damn embarrased!

...when you feel really depressed and lonely, with nothing to do, because Neowin is down.

...when you start wishing for the day Neowin lets you donate your hard earned cash!

...when you remember the weeks when Keldyn (I think it was Keldyn anyway) disappeared from the site for a few weeks and absolute panic broke out in the community - we were all worried!

...when your member number is in the hundreds (Only just mind you!)

    • New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues by Taras Buria Another bug-fixing update is available for PowerToys version 0.100. After releasing version 0.100.1 with a bunch of bug fixes and patches, Microsoft pushed version 0.100.2 to address two important issues with one of Command Palette Dock's features. With PowerToys 0.100.2, Microsoft fixed the performance meter displaying incorrect values and memory leaks, which are particularly unwanted things in the current situation with overpriced PC hardware. Here is the changelog: Reverted a Performance Monitor dock refresh change that forced item refreshes on every metric update Fixed a memory leak in the Performance Monitor dock extension by reusing stable network upload/download band items instead of creating new list items on each refresh For those unfamiliar, Command Palette Dock is a relatively new addition to PowerToys. It is a taskbar-like tool that you can keep on top of the screen to pin various useful widgets, commands, and more. It can display time, weather, your PC's performance metrics, and more. Microsoft introduced the Command Palette Dock in March 2026 in PowerToys 0.98. Microsoft has dedicated documentation for Command Palette Dock, and you can check it out on the official Microsoft Learn website. You can update PowerToys to the latest version by going to Settings > General and clicking "Check for updates." Alternatively, you can download the installer from GitHub using this link. In other news, Microsoft is working on a new window-management utility for PowerToys. Called Alt Window Cycle, it will let you use the Alt + ` shortcut to switch between different windows in a single app. You can learn more about the tool here.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By Asgardi · Posted

      You did take leaf out of Trumps book already and had brexit - only to harm yourself. The same goes with this AI nonsense. The obvious solution for these companies is to move their head office to Brussels. I can see quite much irony there... 🙂

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      Wonder if they are trying to slow down Linux traction (not saying this is the only factor) in the consumer space. With the most pressure probably being steam deck/box, etc.
